The rest of the furniture had been moved out. The mattress, the bedframe, the desk. All that was left was a lamp and the dresser. Each drawer was taken out to ease the weight, but the last, bottom drawer hit a snag. On each tug you could hear a sharp plastic flick from whatever it was caught on. After rigging the drawer up, then out, we saw it. A secret roommate I had unknowingly shared my space with for the entirety of the sublet.
Tupperware, the size of an alarm clock, with something blackened inside. It had grown dark, its edges red, like a meatball of scabbing. "I think it's lasagna," said one of my roommates. It had been a hot summer. My room got the least of the air conditioning, which was already pretty muted on this floor, and my window didn't open, it was just a big pane of glass. There wasn't a joke made. No one egged or challenged or asked to crack it open. It was quickly, carefully, taken out of the room, tossed into a metal garbage pail like a live hand grenade.
Gross. Absolutely foul. It had been there for four months, if not longer. Left there by the previous tenant, who owned the furniture I was actually in the process of hauling out. We didn't talk about it too much, it was something heinous we all wanted to go on from. It became a dirty secret.
I didn't ask her, when I saw her, how a whole wad of leftover lasagna ends up under the dresser. Could have been placed on top and fell. Could have been on the floor and kicked under, but it was bigger than the gap between the floor and the Ikea furniture. It seemed implausible through any scenario, but these are semantics, and I am a man about results and conclusions. The fact of the matter is: I had lived with some rotting lasagna over the course of the summer.
It was there the entire time. Hidden from my sight, an unknown, tucked into the furthest corner from the bed where I slept, smoked, kissed, and played video pinball. Across from the desk where I worked, stressed, looked at pornography and videos of video pinball. Every moment of hope and satisfaction, I was near some rotting lasagna. Every moment of loneliness and confusion I shared with some rotting lasagna. This rotting lasagna got to know every part of me.
It's hard not to be revolted by the revelation. Some of us have nightmares about the secrets and skeletons about the places we live, what may have happened years before our times in these aged manors. Do actions linger on, are things hidden in the walls or under the floorboards. Do incidents have their ghosts? Weapons, drugs, forgotten mementos, litter, liquid, corpses, toenail bits. In March a Forest Hill couple discovered a live hand grenade stored in the ceiling of their new home. That's a one-off, I'm hoping, but now I know we don't have to be so dramatic to be so disturbed. Just food, hidden oozes and goops. The leftovers. That's enough to keep you up at night, wondering.
But, in a way, I'm thankful. This summer was nice, but it also lacked purpose. There was no bonding agent. Things can be worse. The previous two summers have been marked by tragedy, a garland of deaths in the family, and a stark cynic inside me awaited for that cycle to begin again at any moment. News, hospitals, waiting, hospitals, funerals, shivas. Hearing the phone ring after 8 pm becomes frightening at a certain point in your life.
The summer before that I travelled, ten European countries in three months. Seeing the scope of other countries, discovering other time-zones will learning to be jealous of some culture and infrastructure and learning to be more thankful for things Toronto does provide.
For those summers, the themes are clear. They have genres that can be easily parsed on an Indigo bookshelf. This summer, the Indigo clerk would put it on that miscellaneous magazine shelf, along with a few bird watching journals, those tattoo punk bikini babe ones, and an issue of Dazed and Confused because I guess the employee thought it had something to do with weed. But after swallowing the vomit back down, the truer purpose became clear. This was no ordinary summer after all. This was my summer of rotting lasagna.
During a short conference trip to New York, I discovered I had allergies. When I arrived back home, I discovered a Jeopardy! contestant broke up with me. Don't worry, she didn't win. The fourth Tinder date since the break was a surprising success. She, let's call her Jess, was still enthusiastic about meeting up despite it being 1 am. We met up at Disgraceland, which serves food until closing. She was passionate about gardening and social politics, but zero interest in pop culture, putting me at a disadvantage in a bar that was playing Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. She was much more attractive than me, though that happens when you meet with .jpegs from dating apps.
Forty minutes after last call, I wasn't going to bat above my average. I told her it was great to meet her in person, and to have a nice weekend. As she unlocked her bike she asked if I wanted to get another drink. Maybe at my place.
We drank white wine in my bed. She showed me photos of vegetables. After about an hour of this, I was still skeptical if she wanted to get gross. I had built up a great wall between me and my reluctant optimism. The self-esteem that survived the breakup knocked and knocked, desperate and heaving to give the rest of me a reality check. She turned off the lights to go to sleep, I thought that was the way things were going to go.
Jess telegraphs. I didn't know this the first time. A routine, like the baseball player who eats two bacon bit hot dogs with their left hand before a game. First, the feet. She'd start rubbing her feet up and down mine. Grinding her soles against my ankle hair, polishing around my calluses. She'd then start to scratch my arms. She really liked when I scratched her back, even though I bite my nails. The coarseness seems to turn her on. One time we went through all of my t-shirts until we found one with the right texture she could wear. Sometimes I wondered if it was me she liked or my linens.
This cycle was the entirety of the foreplay, from there she would verbally request whatever position she felt like, from a deck of four. Afterward, there'd be a thirty percent chance she'd purr and rub her nose against me, a forty percent chance we'd just fall asleep, and a seventy percent chance the cycle would just begin from the start.
It was a nice romance. We'd smoke and wander through Dufferin Grove. One time we sat there, she ate her first Popeyes combo, while a scrappy little poodle named Charlie broke away from its owner and circled and snarled at us from the darkness. And we cooed, and it still snarled. We'd go back home and look at more vegetables. We did this for three months, in the same room as a carton of rotting lasagna.
One time I thought I caught a cold from Jess, it turned out to be more annoying. It started like any bug, a vague grossness at the back of my throat, but it quickly, furiously, specified. A weakness, or soreness at the right base of my tongue. It felt like a toothache, except emanating from a place that was without tooth. My spit had a copper taste. My aunt, over a family dinner, suggested it could be a saliva gland infection, which she had once, slept on it, and had to receive a surgical remedy. I took this theory to a walk-in clinic. The young doctor there agreed, told me it wasn't severe enough to use antibiotics, and suggested I just kill the pain for the week, stick to the green tea and lozenges. Because he looked the kind of person I might smoke with, I tapped my nose, mimed a jazz cigarette in my mouth and warbled my head. "Sure, whatever," he said.
I had never smoked weed for pain before. It works, for sure. The pain isn't radiating anymore, it doesn't hurt. It isn't robbing you of sleep. It's still there. You can still feel the sensation like a tug. It's like the tiny devils who spend all the merry day poking those muscles with their pitchforks are on lunch break. Now they're just resting up against their post, talking about their kids and showing each other funny Vines.
I began to like the sensation. I felt my body re-categorize one of its least ideal sensations. It wasn't pain anymore, it was an annoyance, or an itch. It was barely distracting, just something I could choose to think about. Imagine the pleasantry of having that option.
It wasn't a bruise or a torn muscle or a virus, it was redacted. It was an X. My brain was giving my body's sorrows the silent treatment. And I discovered this new relationship with drugs in the company of a container of rotting lasagna hidden away in the corner of my room.
I liked this apartment. The roommates were funny, cultured, active. They called me "the most consistent person" they ever lived with. Which either meant I had a set level people could depend on me for, or because I played video pinball sixty-five percent of the time.
But the window didn't open, and I muscled through that summer. I wanted to move a few bumps south, the walk back from some of my favourite holes started to get old. That's why I didn't extend my stay, like they had offered. Failing to find a new place, I slept on my parent's couch for a month, second-guessing that decision. Had I known about the rotting lasagna, maybe that would have broken the deal too, but discovering it after the fact at least gave this chapter a sense of purpose.
Also I spent a week at a cottage and got scared by a frog that made a growling noise and fell down the stairs.

- Teaches students:
- and Ages 5+
- Teaching since:
- February 2011
When I was 5, my mom told me I could take lessons on any instrument I'd like. I chose the flute. She asked me what my second choice was.
I've played violin for 17 years. A graduate of the Suzuki method, I grew up in Denver, where I performed with the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, and the LIttleton Symphony Orchestra. During senior year of high school, I became a studio assistant for my teacher, and I started teaching privately myself.
I got my Bachelor's in Music from Dartmouth, where I studied with Liesl Doty. For a term, I studied in London with Dona Lee Croft at the Royal College of Music. I performed a Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Recital, as well as with chamber groups and the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra.
I moved to Minneapolis this August. My studio is new here, but my experience and expertise is constant. I give students the skills they need to achieve their musical ambitions. I strive to be compassionate and fair as a teacher, just as my Suzuki teachers were to me.

Megane takes baton: new hatch leads July race
OVER the years I've noticed how carmakers tend to go in cycles with their new models.
They have a spate of new motors for a year or 18 months and then settle into a consolidating pattern as someone else takes up the baton.
I think that can be said about a few at the moment, but Renault is certainly one of them.
They have just rolled out their new 5dr family hatch, the Megane, and have five more refreshes or brand new models (including a Sport Tourer, Scenic and Grand Scenic) coming within the next six months.
There will also be the Koleos large SUV by the end of March. But for now the focus is on this July-reg prospect.
Pricing starts at €19,490. That is for the petrol version. Diesels start at €21,490 (dCi 110bhp). There is 3pc APR, road side assist and five-year warranty (something a lot of people don't know about).
And don't write off the family hatchback just yet, Renault say. While demand for C-segment saloons and estates has fallen a bit, the hatchback market is holding up well.
I was surprised to learn that 60,000 Meganes have been bought here since it was first launched.
They are targeting a Top Five slot with this new one. Considering the rivals - Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus are the country's second and third biggest sellers this year respectively - that's a big ask. We'll see.
The Megane is built on the same platform as the Kadjar crossover and has widened front/rear track.
For now the GT is the flagship (205bhp 0-100kmh in 7.1 secs) with EDC gearbox, Launch Control and rear wheels that can counter steer. There will be a diesel version (1.6-litre 165bhp, 7spd EDC transmission) towards the middle of next year.
And they are raving about the Grand Coupe which is coming down the line later on.
I drove the GT Line (some of the frills but not all of the thrills of the GT). Much more solid car now. I like the look of the back.
The cabin is improved, the materials looked and felt better and there was more usable room. A longer test awaits.
Infotainment and connectivity are taken for granted so much nowadays but their scope expands exponentially.
The Megane has R-Link 2 with either 7ins landscape or 8.7in portrait screen. Via these and with access to Multi-Sense you can control air con, steering effort, engine sound, different modes, lighting ambience, etc. There is a sports mode (maximises engine response). And a personalised mode (you can maximise your own response to that).
The specification/equipment 'ladders' are interesting. Entry level has air con and cruise control while Dynamique has Multi-Sense 16ins alloys and auto dual-zone air con.
Then you can pick either Dynamic S-NAV or GT Line.
At the very top is the GT Nav (€30,690).
Overall the car is €700 more expensive but they say there's spec in there worth €1,900.
Small-family car purchases account for 27pc/30pc of the total market so although demand for saloons and estates has dipped there's a huge number of potential buyers still out there.
However, most of them are over 45 and the challenge is to get the 35-year-olds on board too. PCPs are helping in that area, apparently.
It is still a 70/30 diesel market for cars of this size but there is a general acceptance across the industry that petrol is slowly coming back.
This 5dr has two turbocharged petrols (1.2 litre/130hp; €200 road tax and 1.6 litre/205hp - that's the GT - €280 road tax). Diesels include a 1.5-litre 110hp (manual/ EDC transmission, €180 road tax ) and a 130bhp 1.6-litre (€190 tax).
The new car is lower and there is a longer wheelbase, hence the sense of more room inside.
The front and rear lighting 'signatures' work really well - especially at the back as I've said.
Next year there will be a hybrid-assist diesel-electric based on the dCi 110 with expected 76g/km. The baton keeps being passed on.

Do you really need an MBA? See how an MBA can change your life.
Master in Business Administration or MBA, is an international recognized postgraduate degree that is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge for careers in business management.
Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), have been regularly collecting data which revolves around businesses and their hiring patterns.
As of the end of 2015, study shows that organizations are actively hiring MBA graduates, and they are expecting more hires in 2016.
So why do companies in the U.S. hire MBA graduates? What is it that distinguishes them from other Master graduates?
To complete a Masters course, it normally takes 1-2 years. The prerequisite for enrolling in a master programme is that the applicants must already have working experience (discard the ones who continued using high CGPA points).
This contributes to one of the factor as to why corporations are hiring MBA graduates. Not only they're experienced in work, but at the same time, the knowledge that MBA students have are practically useful.
Majority of the MBA graduates hired, have displayed their ability to solve problems effectively.
Critical thinking is not a subject you could master, but MBAs are designed in such a way that critical thinking is woven into the curriculum.
Case-study is a reflection of a real situation that has already occurred. Normally students are required to analyze, identify the problem, and find a solution.
The number of case studies that MBA graduates go through, prepares them to solve real problems in the company.

text: We are thinking about moving from BC to GF for our trip in two weeks . We always stay in "single building" deluxes (CR, WL, BC). If we move to a regular room at GF (outer building garden), how far is that from the lobby? Do you still pass through the lobby on your way everywhere? Or is there a faster route when taking the bus? I have been told the GF is the quintessential holiday hotel, but that wont be as neat if you bypass the decorations.

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by CashDudeHomie, Feb 1, 2008.
What NTRP rating? Do they recruit from other states or countries? Thanks for any help.
There are nasty guys throughout the college ranks, but especially at juco's. Juco's used to have some sick players back in the day. Might not be that way now, but they used to get some nasty players.
As for NTRP rating, I wouldn't bother. Some of those in the old days would easily be 6.0.
few years back the #1 in D2 was ranked in the 900s
Also, what is division 1? Is it the biggest or smallest? Thanks.
im playing at a JC this season. i have been very fortunate to get the #6 spot for singles, and have a good partner for dubs (#3). we have some very solid players, and from what i hear other schools will be very good too. a lot of good foreigners (many of whom play a clay court style according to my coach). i will be able to comment with more info in a few weeks. we start our season this tuesday. very excite!
D1 is the biggest.
D1 I would imagine is typically 5.5 and 6.0 though I'm sure there are players 6.5 and 7.0. I play for D3 and most of my team is 4.5-5.0. Our #1 was 6.0 or 6.5 and went to NCAAs last year. He's playing futures now.
You're talking about a junior college right? Because I know an NCAA D1 college would have 6.0 players, but I thought a NJCAA team would be a little lower, since enrollment here is only like 4000 students. Guess I underestimated them!! I thought I might have a chance to get on the team, guess not LOL
OK, I just found out that juco = junior college. Thanks for all the answers guys. I'll be watching the local matches. Should be awesome to see some 6.0+ level tennis in person.
Sorry I didn't see the J in the NCAA part. So I could be wrong in my answers. Some of the lower D1 schools my D3 college could beat last year as well. I haven't come across The NJCAA before.
I played JC as well last year. Our team took second in Nor*Cal and 6th in California. Our #1 was a SOLID 5.5 and 2-4 were 5.0. My friend is playing D1 this year and their #1 has a negative rating in France which is suppose to be really good! Not exactly how it works, but I'd say top 100 D1 schools, their players are at least 6.0 or better.
weaver, what school do you go to?
I go to DVC
There are very few junior college programs that have 6.0+ players. There are are a couple in Texas which heavily recruit foreign players and are ranked usually #1 or #2 in the nation. But that is an exception. I have watched the #3 ranked juco in the nation play last year. I would say none of them were 6.0. The top players were actually probably strong 5.0s/weak 5.5. The bottom half of the team lose to 4.5 rated players in tourneys around here.
For your average juco the players are 4.0-4.5 typically with maybe the #1 guy a 5.0
D1 players are at least a 6.0. The top 10 Division 1 schools are probably like 6.5... especially the number 1 and 2. Many of these players can play pro but they choose not too. Playing the pros is very hard, traveling 10+ months a year, working hard, no free time. So they choose the path of working towards a career. There are college players that just play really good. Sam Querrey almost went to college. But he chose the pros and made a good decision.
I played JC ball in south alabama in 1999-2000 and played against a guy from a JC in north Alabama (Jeff state).
He was there #1 and played Davis Cup for Mexico.
He was waiting on some sort of test score so he could attend UGA.
He beat me 2 and 2
When I played in college we played 1 Junior College team, Hinds Community College. They were pretty darn good. I remember thinking, lets just waste these guys and go home. Hahaha, wasn't that easy. I think I played a guy from Peru. He was pretty darn good. I would say that 1-4 could have defintely played D1 for a decent school. A few of the played Davis Cup as well.
yeah, from what i hear some JCs are able to get some great foreign players. i doubt too many 6.0 or even 5.5s are around consistently at JC. i would say mostly strong 4.0 to 5.0 players (with some stronger and weaker, depending).
Hey weaver, I have some friends who play for Chabot. Not sure if you played that school or not.
Yeah, we played them. They have some pretty good players
how far north in cali do you guys live? do you guys play at the ojai tourney or anything like that? i think our team will be playing in some tournaments at the end of the year, might play your schools possibly... but don't really know how it works.
Are you playing this year? I think I might have a friend who is playing there this year. I'm not sure if it's that school. And yea, Chabot definitely has some good players. My friend who played there was told he could walk on to Cal's team.
Yeah, every year we go to Ojai. Last year i wasn't good enough to go down there. Only top 4 went. This year i couldn't play because I have to work on transfering to Davis. Depending on how much I improve i might play for them, but it's kinda a long shot. Not sure. Um I live in Walnut creek, which is about 45 min east of San Francisco. Who do you know at Chabot?
For the last 5 years I have been one of the tennis coaches at Chabot. We are going to be tough this year in both men's and women's. On average in Norcal JC the number 1 players in men's are fairly strong 5.0 players, maybe 5.5. Nick Jakosjin is rated 5.5 and he played number 1 for Chabot the last two years and did fairly well.
Go Chabot!!

Weave Structures
Spandex production accounts for 0.9% of the world natural and manufactured fiber production. It is used in sweaters, tops, trousers, formal suits, jackets, sleeveless dresses, vests and knickers, shaped garments, hosiery, swimwear, sportswear, and bodies. While the increase in Spandex production and markets is significant, little scientific research has been published. This research goal is to explore the potential of using filling yarns containing Spandex to produce 3-D effects. The 3D effects are developed through woven fabric design with varying tightness. Variation in tightness cause differential shrinkage upon removing the fabric from the loom and/or washing while in relaxed state. Loose weave structure causes more shrinkage as compared to tight weaves. The differential shrinkage causes parts of the design to be raised in the direction perpendicular to the fabric plane.
Weaves used:
Plain Weave
2X2 Twill (Double Cloth)
8-H Sateen (Double Cloth)
7-H Sateen (Double Cloth
Plain Weave (Double Cloth)
12-H Sateen (Double Cloth)
14-H sateen (Double Cloth)
Results and Discussions
*40 Denier Lycra® Spandex of Invista was used as core
Arrangement of weft yarns was altered to provide different 3D effects.
Using yarns containing Spandex combined with variation in fabric tightness through utilizing different weaves led to producing 3D fancy effects upon relaxation of fabrics (washing under low or no tension) without the need for heat, chemical treatment, or mechanical devices such as those used to produce crinkle effects.
This work is funded by Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc., State of North Carolina, and Egyptian Government. We appreciate Unifi, Inc., Madison, NC, USA for the formation of single covered yarns.

A new small claims service is being introduced at the Patents County Court to help small and mediumsized businesses protect their copyright, designs and trademarks.
At the moment, a lot of small companies fail to enforce their Intellectual Property (IP) rights because of the high costs involved. But the new process will limit fixed costs and award damages of up to £5,000 per case.
According to estimates, 150 firms a year will benefit from the service, providing an annual boost to UK business of £350,000.

National Geographic Acknowledges Huge Loss of Life to Malaria and Need for DDT
By Steve Jalsevac
August 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - National Geographic (NG), a leading environmentalist, de-population supporting magazine, has published a major cover story by Michael Finkel on the extraordinarily deadly and complex malaria parasite. The July 2007 NG edition article discusses possible solutions to the disease but also uncharacteristically acknowledges a leading expert's contention that the international ban on DDT was a terrible mistake which may have cost many millions of lives, especially in poor African nations. Environmental ideologues have been quick to slam Finkel's article as being flawed and damaging to the their past success in convincing the world to ban the DDT pesticide.
The article, Malaria, Stopping a Global Killer, states, "This year malaria will strike up to a half billion people. At least a million will die, most of them under age five, the vast majority living in Africa. That's more than twice the annual toll a generation ago."
Finkel writes that Robert Gwadz, a malaria specialist at the US National Institutes of Health, says the worldwide ban on DDT that eventually followed the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which condemned use of the chemical, "may have killed 20 million children." The quote by Gwadz does not include the huge number of adults that have also died since "DDT become nearly impossible to procure" because "the chemical was outlawed by most of the world for agricultural use".
The deaths caused by malaria, however, are only the beginning of the problems caused by the disease. A far greater number of the continent's people are regularly afflicted by malaria, which often causes life-long disabilities and devastating effects on African economies. Gwadz tells NG that "It's possible that due to malaria, almost every child in Africa is in some way neurologically scarred".
NG relates that in the past there were massive numbers of malaria cases in the United States. "A million Union Army casualties in the U.S. Civil War are attributed to malaria." There were also millions of U.S. malaria cases in the 1930s, which led to the launching of an intensive antimalaria program. The Centers for Disease Control was founded in 1946, "specifically to combat malaria". By 1950, reports National Geographic's Finkel, "transmission of malaria was halted in the U.S."
Finkel reports that prosperous nations such as the U.S. have been able to eradicate malaria, but "In the meantime, several distinctly unprosperous regions have reached the brink of total malarial collapse." The author presents his own analysis of why this has happened. He does not, however, address the argument presented in past LifeSiteNews articles, that racist western depopulation policies were likely a large factor in the withholding of desperately needed, inexpensive life-saving measures such as DDT from high birthrate African nations.
Internationally prominent author Michael Crichton, who, while having a severe anti-religious bias, nevertheless excels in the area of thoroughly researched fictional novels on scientific issues, presented a more directly condemning view of the Rachel Carson inspired DDT ban in a speech he gave in Sept. 2003.
In this speech, Environmentalism as a Religion, Crichton stated:
"I can tell you that DDT is not a carcinogen and did not cause birds to die and should never have been banned. I can tell you that the people who banned it knew that it wasn't carcinogenic and banned it anyway. I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus irrevocably harmed the third world. Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the twentieth century history of America. We knew better, and we did it anyway, and we let people around the world die and didn't give a damn."

The strange thing is that the contacts and calendar will eventually sync (after a few hours). I spent the better part of today talking to Verizon and HTC tech support people who have no ideas what to do. I rebooted my server and still have the problem. First thing I did was do a hard reset on the phone and the problem did not go away. If anyone has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. -Jody

Skip to comments.So Let It Be Written. So Let It Be Made: Why We Need More Biblical Films
Posted on 04/05/2014 5:03:29 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Every decade or so, Hollywood has an epiphany. It turns out faith-based audiences enjoy going to the movies, too. And they enjoy films with A-list actors and big-budget productions, as well. So its no surprise that Noah, even with the artistic license and rock monsters, had such an impressive week. This is good news. Because whether you're a believer or not, a flawed biblical epic is going to be more entertaining than a remake of a Paul Verhoeven movie or some third-rate sci-fi flick.
And if theres one thing we know about Hollywood it's this: if a genre turns a profit that genre will saturate the market for years. Ridley Scott is already directing a version of Exodus with Christian Bale as Moses. Producers will undoubtedly gin-up some Noah-like controversy around the films biblical authenticity as we near release. Maybe the plagues will turn out to be environmental disasters triggered by all that Egyptian sprawl; but whatever the case, the Exodus movie will likely ride that buzz to big returns. Plus, Breaking Bads Aaron Paul will be playing Joshua (tear down those walls, b***hes!) That's probably a good start. But Hollywood can do better. Ive heard people argue that even a flawed Bible-based film offers secular moviegoers a dose of religious literacy which may spark curiosity about the source material. Thats a horrible reason to produce a movie. The right reason? The Bible is filled with intriguing stories about complex and flawed human beings who ponder immense moral questions and engage in colossal clashes with evil.
Granted, in this, my own tastes skew Old Testament more sex, blood and intrigue, etc. Well, Old Testament in spirit. Take the Maccabees: Its not cannon for everyone, I realize, but this movie almost happened. Mel Gibson should never have been thrown off the project. Actually, he should be forced to direct the movie as reparation to Jews nay, all moviegoers — worldwide. As someone put it to me recently: has your favorite director produced even one moneymaking epic in a dead language? Because Mels done it twice. And because the Macaabees didnt merely sit around waiting for the oil to run out — they waged a ruthless guerrilla war, massacred interlopers, burned down pagan temples and trekked the countryside forcibly circumcising boys — few directors can be trusted to bring us all the bellicose details quite like the Mel Gibson of Apocalypto, Braveheart and The Passion.
How about King David? Fighter. Poet. Lover. User of technologically advanced weaponry to slay existential threats. The man harnessed his smarts and charisma to create a kingdom for the Jews and then promptly abused that power in every way imaginable. You have your bloodshed, infidelity, intra-familial civil war, lust and male bonding not in that order. Want a prequel or a sequel, then there's Saul and Solomon. Though its been tried numerous times (most recently, Richard Gere took a flawed stab at it in the mid-80s and before that there was David and Bathsheba with Gregory Peck) its a story that deserves an epic upgrade.
You can on and on, of course. Biblical movies need not sermonize, just be honest to the foundational story. As powerful as the message is for people of faith, its really great storytelling. Why isnt there a big modern production of Paul the Apostles tale? Has any mere mortal changed the world in a more dramatic way? Or Saint Peter who could easily supply a trilogy of films? Or Judas or Job (the Coen Brothers used the contours of the tale in A Serious Man, but without the redemption). Jonah? Daniel? Ruth? Theres the international intrigue in the Book of Esther. Samson vs. Delilah or Gideon the "Destroyer" in Hebrew. What about the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah? The locusts of the Abyss? The Lake of Fire? You want provocative, how about The Fall: Mans Rebellion Against God. Serpents. Disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Nakedness. Shameful nakedness. Immortality lost.
Of course, there have been countless biblical movies, most either subpar (The Bible miniseries being one) or now ancient. Some, like The Robe or Ben Hur, are only distantly about the Bible (though movies that explore secondary characters have a ton of possibilities, as well). The financial track record for many of these movies, even ones tangentially connected to the text, are pretty good. The Ten Commandments is generally regarded as one of the best, if not the best, biblical movie. Adjusted for inflation, it earned $2 billion. Were about to see a reboot of that story. Hopefully it wont be the last.
David Harsanyi is a Senior Editor at The Federalist and author of the The People Have Spoken (and They Are Wrong): The Case Against Democracy.
I love Sherwood Baptist's movies. Courageous was one of my all-time favorite movies. I have watched it several times. I loved God's Not Dead and am looking forward to Heaven Is For Real.
Hollywood can keep making their trash (Wolf of Wall Street set record for most "F" words - 500 I believe) but at least give us an option to see Godly movies.
Just make sure they don't rewrite the history to use it to promote the Left's agenda - LGBT lifestyle, Christians are really evil, jesus was just another prophet (they'll leave out his miracles and say he was married to Mary Magdalene and had a child by her crap because of the Da Vinci Code which much of the idiot left believes is true becuse they've never picked a bible up in their life), the Bible is a book of mythology, unicorns don't exist because Noah ate them, etc...
I watched The Agony and the Ecstasy on TMC last night. Obviously not a Bible movie per se but pretty cool when Heston/Michelangelo sees the creation of man in the clouds.
Oddly enough, the state of California may do more to create religious movies in the future by effectively driving out movie production with onerous taxes and other oppressions.
Movies produced in either the Southland or the Midwest are far more likely to be respectful of religious values, and use actors who are not radical leftist-socialist-communists.
Otherwise, Hollywood scriptwriting is dominated by the book "Save The Cat!", resulting in endless numbers of generic movies of no value. However, Biblical and religious themes will not conform to that book, as much as they would want it to, so it has to be ignored and movies made with originality and creativity. Something a lot easier to do outside of California.

Claymore - WIP1 by RobaatoWatch
©2014-2017 Robaato
I haven't done a full-composition fanart piece in a while. Figured I'd hack away at this bit by bit until completion between work breaks. I'll update this as I go along finishing each stage~!
I only watched the series recently, and I instantly became a fan, practically overnight. The anime's ending was weaksauce so I'm all up in the manga now. I rarely do that; only when something really resonates with me from a storytelling standpoint. And the art by Yagi is so much love.

Excellent. This has been my favorite manga for years. Nice to see it getting some love on DA.
i was so pissed when the strongest claymore died, the one with the long hair
Great that you got to the manga right away. The anime ending isn't bad for what it's worth, just bringing some closure, but the manga's arc ends up waaay more awesome and then goes on to be even better. You're going to really dig it.
havent watched this in years

*fucking priscilla*
I love you're drawing !
*fucking priscilla*
Claymore is really great and the manga is so much better than the anime (mainly because the anime end was just bad and non sense).
Otherwise, your drawing starts great but the position of Claire's symbol is a bit awkward.

I didn't really follow the series at first, since this one's first volume was just really bland. I just went ahead and caught a recent chapter and went on from there, and it's been pretty good. But I have no qualms of just brushing in backstory to fill out the parts I've missed.
Time to break out the anime and manga box again ^^
Oh man I remember Claymore! really good and emotionally charged anime
Now this is a blast from the past!
Awesome work liking how Claire looks in this style!
Very cool!
I love this!
Hidden by Owner
Maaan! I havn't watched/read claymore for yonks! this brings back memories.
Fucking Awesome!! Claymore is amazing *-*
Pretty cool, amazing tribute for a great series
I can't believe you got just about every single character in there. This is going to be so awesome when it's finished, Rob! Can't wait to see you finish.
oh i have that manga its so nice this sketch drawing idk looks amazing give me dat skill :')
I always read the manga first. I love it! I'm about halfway through. My other faves are 20th Century Boy and Monster (both by Naoki Urasawa). Keep up the awesome work! ^_^
Looks awesome already. I just started watching this again last night. I'm considering the manga as well since it's on kindle.
Norihiro Yagi is such a boss. And this piece is an automatic win for me. Love love LOVE Claymore.
Sick dude!
Was so excited to see this! I wish they would've followed the manga! Never the less the anime was great, and this is badass!
IKR? It ends so abruptly and with literally no closure at all.
They need to reboot it. It's a fantastic series.

From the York Dispatch:
York County -- and all of Pennsylvania -- is getting "a mixed bag of results" when it comes to children'seducation and welfare, officials said.
Nearly 40 percent of Pennsylvanian children lived in low-income families in 2008, according to a SchoolReadiness report released earlier this month by Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children.
The fact that the state -- and York County -- has a significant amount of young children in poor homes is "very worrisome," said spokeswoman Kathy Geller Myers.
"Children living in poverty now may lead to poor nutrition, chronic health problems and experience more difficulty in schools," she said. "Economic liability is paramount to a child's success in school.
"The study looked at factors including low-income families, insurance, subsidies for children and education level of mothers, said Myers.
Pennsylvania lost ground on six of the 16 categories analyzed, according to the study, and York Countymirrored those results.
'Poor' result in York: In York County 8,716 children younger than 5 were members of poor orlow-income families in 2008, the most recent year for which data is available. That's up from 6,860 inrecorded in 2000.The percentage of children younger than 5 living in poverty in York County increased from 30.2 percent to 33.1 percent.
The income data compared numbers from the 2000 Census and 2006-08 American Community Survey,Myers said, noting the study defines "low-income" as $44,100 for a family of four.
At the same time, the county had 478 fewer children receiving subsidized child care from August 2009 toSeptember 2010, Myers said.
The state's lean budget was to blame for the lack of resources and "tough decisions that had to be made," which included the decline in the number of subsidized child care slots available to theunderserved, said Myers.
"Kids don't get a 'do-over,'" Myers said. "They'll only be 2, 3, 4 years old once. So it's important tocontinue to invest in high quality-early learning experiences for them."
On the bright side: Not all news was bad for York County, according to the report.But even "good news" wasn't all that impressive, said Myers.
The availability of child care slots in York County deemed "high-quality" has expanded slightly from 468 children in 2009 to 511 children in 2010, according to a "snapshot" taken of child care providers in June2009 and June 2010.
Whether child care is considered high-quality is determined by the state or national child care associations, Myers said, noting factors include the number of staff members who hold college degrees.
Although York's numbers of quality providers increased a bit this year, the entire state needs to work onimproving the number of "high-quality" providers made available to children, Myers said."If you look at the state's average, even though York did see an increase, the number is still below thestate's 3.5 percent rate, and not all that impressive," she said.
York County provides hundreds of low-income pregnant mothers, infants, toddlers andpre-kindergarten students with free educational, health and social services through Early Head Start and Head Start programs.
The programs, combined, serve 627 children, "but there is still a waiting list in the hundreds," said Jennifer Molloy, director of York County's Early Head Start and Head Start Programs.
"It's definitely worrisome (to see the waiting list), but we're funded federally and by the state so we can only serve the amount of people we have grant money for," she said.
There has always has been more of a demand for early childhood services than Pennsylvania has been able to serve, said Michael Race, spokesman with the state's Department of Public Welfare.He noted that until 2002-03, state funding for the Head Start program didn't exist and that people need to look at the issue from a long term perspective.

ALTON — Police investigating two automobile business burglaries early Nov. 4 discovered a man sitting inside a car stolen from one of the locations, parked on railroad tracks.
Chief Jason "Jake" Simmons, of the Alton Police Department, said suspect Jeremy D. Hall, 33, surrendered to police without incident at 1 a.m. Wednesday at the railroad tracks on West Broadway (McAdams Highway/Illinois Route 100).
Simmons praised police officers who solved the burglaries at Roadway Motors, 1401 E. Broadway, and Rick's Auto Body, 1407 E. Broadway, within a short time of their alarms.
Thursday, the Madison County State's Attorney's Office charged Hall with two counts of burglary at those two businesses; and one count of offenses relating to motor vehicles. The latter charge accuses Hall of possessing a 1996 Audi Cabriolet, knowing it was stolen.
Third Circuit Judge Kyle Napp set bond of $75,000.
Court records give an address for Hall in the 100 block of Illinois Avenue in South Roxana.

I love Sundae bars for everything- birthday parties, summer nights, sleepovers! Here are some of my tips for Sundae bars.
1. Make a list! You need a supply list so here it is: ice scream scoops, bucket for the ice cream, ice, bowls, napkins, spoons, jars, table décor, waffle cones, ice cream, toppings, whipped topping, hot fudge, caramel, fresh fruit cut up.
2. Sundae Bar on the go? I love to pack my toppings in mason jars for easy transport and clean up.
3. Keeping things cold isn't easy! I use a beer cooler or a big galvanized bucket filled with ice.
4. Don't have energy to scoop? How do you like this trick. I do my scoops the night before and store it in cupcake tins.
5. Never ever forget décor! I do a lot through etsy but these easy ice cream balloons, I do myself!
6. I wouldn't do this one with little kids but I love to line my cups with sprinkles to really step it up a notch.
7. Now onto my breakfast cereal bar! My kids love sleepovers and I hate making pancakes so I set up a breakfast bar! The kids love it.
8. Want to make it even easier? Try this.
Have fun!

Linekin Bay Resort offers free use of their canoes and kayaks! Meanwhile Boothbay Harbor itself has plenty of outdoorsy activities, from whale watches and hikes to casual strolls through downtown and nearby botanical gardens. If you're looking to get off the property and explore coastal Maine, here are a few recommendations. Everything should be within a 20-minute drive from Linekin Bay Resort.
Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
These gardens opened in 2007 and they are spectacular. Set on 270 acres of tidal shoreland, they feature stunning displays of local Maine flora set along the rugged coast. You can take boat excursions through the property, as well as walks and guided tours. www.mainegardens.org
Cap'n Fish's Boothbay Boat Tours
What do you wanna see — whales? Puffins? Lighthouses? Cap'n Fish offers a variety of boat tours that cater to all manner of coastal gawking. These tours depart from the main wharf in downtown Boothbay and last anywhere between one and three hours. Dress warm. It gets windy out there. www.boothbayboattrips.com
Stroll through Downtown Boothbay Harbor
Is there any other way to walk through a touristy town than to "stroll"? Does anyone ever shop in these tourist-town art galleries? We don't, but maybe that's because we're not married yet. Anyway, downtown Boothbay is a lovely place to stroll, eat lunch, ignore art galleries, and buy souvenirs like, say, a lobster christmas ornament or a box of saltwater taffy. Or you can nail the perfect Instagram shot: hand on your hip, head tossed over your shoulder, feet staggered confidently astride a rustic dock—feel the FOMO, losers! We suggest you use the Aden filter, which was actually first developed in the 1930's by famous Maine photographer Aden Pinemoose. Obviously that last sentence is not true.
Go Lobstering!
For a reasonable fee, this salty old Mainer will take you on his boat and show you his lobsters and tell you old tales of the sea. Maybe he'll let you throw a lobster trap in the water yourself! Or show you the secret location of his best lobster pots? We're not sure because we've never met him. But the folks at the hotel suggested him and his Facebook page looks charmingly primitive and his name is Clive and his boat is called the "Sea Swallow" so it's probably a good deal.
Hike around Boothbay Region Land Trust
But what about hiking? We get it, you like hiking. It's a great way to feel healthy and satisfied with yourself! And once you've completed such a wholesome exercise activity, you can feel ok about debauching yourself at the wedding ceremony later! Boothbay Region Land Trust includes 30 miles of hiking trails rated from easy to challenging. Each trail is just a few miles long so you can get back and showered and dressed in time for the ceremony. Remember, the dress code is downeaster chic.

Space Shuttle Endeavour California Science Center
December 4, 2011 by staff
Space Shuttle Endeavour California Science Center, Construction workers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida began clearing a path Tuesday (Nov. 29) for the arrival of the space shuttle Atlantis, which is slated to go on display there in 2013.
Employing a pair of large cranes, workers lowered the first of two 100,000-pound (45,359-kilogram) solid rocket boosters (SRBs) off of an exhibit stand and onto a transporter.
Over the next couple of days, construction crews will remove the second booster and an 87,000-pound (39,462-kg) external tank that, for more than a decade, has been on prominent display at the visitor complex.
"The SRBs were put on display in Shuttle Plaza in 1994, and that was followed by the external tank in 1997," visitor complex spokesperson Andrea Farmer said in an interview with collectSPACE.com.

After Hurricane Katrina, voters approved a constitutional amendment with 81 percent of the vote statewide — over 90 percent in the New Orleans metro area — to create the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority, a reform levee board of nonpolitical flood experts. To protect this reform, a special nominating committee — not politicians — selects board members.
Because of a lawsuit the board filed against the oil industry for its role in coastal land loss, earlier this year the governor and the oil industry tried to destroy the reform in the Legislature. They failed, but now the authority's own nominating committee is on the verge of doing it for them. At risk is not only the reform itself but public safety.
The governor has declared that all new appointments to the levee board would have to oppose the lawsuit, and the nominating committee, under the leadership of Chairman Jay Lapeyre, has complied. Lapeyre also chairs the board of directors of an oil-service company whose customers include SLFPA-East lawsuit defendants. In most states, Lapeyre would have to recuse himself, but not in Louisiana.
The committee allowed the governor to replace the former chief engineer for California's 1,600 miles of levees with a lobbyist who has no prior experience in or knowledge of flood protection, but who serves on the board of the governor's wife's charitable foundation.
The committee replaced a commissioner whom the state's congressional delegation asked to chair a bipartisan working group on flood protection and whom the National Academies of Science honored for his contribution to water-related knowledge with a lawyer with no prior experience in or knowledge of flood protection and whose clients are connected to SLFPA-E lawsuit defendants. This lawyer is Joe Hassinger, who was president of the commission created to handle the nonflood assets owned by the Orleans Levee District (two marinas, Lakefront airport, commercial real estate). This is ironic, since reformers demanded the removal of these nonflood assets from the flood authority's concerns, and this lawyer fought for six years to take money away from flood protection to give to nonflood areas.
The committee also replaced SLFPA-E's board president — who was first elected over a past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers and re-elected without opposition six times — with someone with no experience in or knowledge of flood protection.
Now SLFPA-E board member Paul Kemp's term has expired. The committee, if it chooses, can re-nominate Kemp and send his name to the governor alone, in which case the governor cannot reject him, and Kemp could serve into the next governor's term, or it can pair him with another person who opposes the lawsuit, allowing the governor to pick the other nominee. This could give lawsuit opponents a majority of the board.
Kemp is a scientist with a well-earned international reputation whose particular expertise is enormously important now that the new levee system has been built. Few people realize that the existing system, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, already provides protection against the "still water" level of a 500-year storm surge, i.e., against a 500-year storm without waves. The way to cut down wave heights — and greatly upgrade our 100-year protection — is to restore land buffers outside the levees. Kemp's entire professional career has been devoted to precisely these questions.
Being nonpolitical does not mean your actions will have no political consequences. It means you make decisions based on what you think is right and not for some political agenda. When the board voted unanimously to file the lawsuit, it knew it would stir up a hornet's nest. The board felt it had to act because no one else would, and people's lives and property were at risk. No one disputes the industry's liability; the trade association for major oil companies itself concedes that in part of the state, industry operations were "the overwhelming cause" of land loss. Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Chairman Jerome Zeringue says, "No one denies there is a responsibility and obligation on the part of oil and gas in regard to the effects of oil and gas activity."
But because of politics, the state has done nothing. The Legislature has already passed a law that aims to kill the lawsuit. Let this be enough.
If the nominating committee does not ensure that Kemp stays on the board, it will betray citizens and the reform they voted for, and it will hurt public safety even more than its recent nominees already have. It now must choose: Play politics or stand as a profile in courage.
Russel Honoré, a retired Army lieutenant general, heads the GreenARMY, an environmental advocacy group.

The news here is that Hughes will not be keeping six players. This is no great surprise. The desperate half-dozen:
John Paintsil
Zoltan Gera
Eddie Johnson
Diomansy Kamara
Bjorn-Helge Riise
Kagisho Dikgacoi
JP seems well out of favour so this is no great shock. Gera is – according to his agent – in demand, so will find a home somewhere. The remaining four are on loan to Championship clubs.
The only trick here is that the club did pick up KG's option for next season I believe, which annoyed the player who wanted to leave. May be wrong though.
It's a shame about Gera. I was stuck with Stanley the other day in one of his "I'll only be quiet if you're standing up and holding me while pointing at the TV" frames of mind, so I put on last season's Review DVD. Gera was excellent, and if so much emphasis is being placed on Zamora's return, it sort of makes sense that the player who's worked best with him is kept, too. Zamora and Gera were a marvel together, and when you think about it, no other combination has quite worked:
Zamora and Johnson didn't seem to do either of them much good. It was only when Johnson was injured that Zamora became Zamora!. While this may be a coincidence, it may not be.
Zamora and Dempsey never seemed to work. Dempsey isn't great as part of a striking partnership.
Zamora and Dembele might or might not be a good idea.
Zamora and Gera were positively electric. They operated as a pair, knew where each other were and brought others into their sphere of excellence, too. Think of all the lovely combinations involving Murphy, Konchesky, Gera and Zamora down the left last season. Mmmmmm.
This might be one of those England situations (in that England have never done this) where you don't always pick your best players, but pick the players who make the best team.

Christmas came early folks. Some new Andrew Wiggins footage just hit the youtube ariwaves and there is some good stuff in here, but the best is yet to come from this young man. You can check out the whole video below and there is some great footage and interviews in here.
POINT VIDEO: Never seen Andrew Wiggins footage: http://t.co/PbXwHR6YLD @_Marc_W @BounceTTCAAU @SlanSports @NuJrock @PhillyOPE @Paul__Jones
— OnPointBasketball (@DrewEbanks) September 17, 2013
Drew Ebanks does a nice job here interviewing Wiggins and both of his parents as well. The part is great where he is asking the young Canadian forward if it was a goal to get to be the top pick in the draft.
"It's a dream" Wiggins responded.
It is getting closer to reality every day for Wiggins and though it is not guaranteed he will be the top pick, if I had to put money on it right now there would be no question. He was the Gatorade high school athlete of the year, so he has to be the favorite for now.
Jabari Parker might be able to challenge Wiggins for the mountaintop of best player in the class, but keep in mind Parker might even stay longer than one season or go on a Mormon mission and blow up the twitter sphere. In any case, fully expect Wiggins to be the top pick in next summer's draft and he certainly has quite a few teams scrambling for draft picks.

Car rolled into river, drowning wife and dogs after husband failed to put handbrake on
A DISTRAUGHT pensioner who had failed to fully engage his car's handbrake told today how he watched in horror as his vehicle rolled into a river, drowning his beloved wife and their pet dogs.
David Pewter, 76, told an inquest into the death of his wife Ann, 74: "It kept on rolling. It just floated and then it disappeared."
He had just stepped outside the car to take a photograph while the couple waited for a ferry in Cornwall.
He thought he had fully engaged the handbrake but in fact he had only put it on two out of six notches.
He then noticed the Mazda car slowly rolling forwards down a slipway towards the River Fal, near Trelissick in Cornwall.
It kept on rolling. It just floated and then it disappeared
Mrs Pewter, who was in the passenger seat, tried to save her pets who were in the back seat as the car slipped into 25 foot deep waters.
Mr Pewter told an inquest in Truro he thought he put the handbrake on fully during the accident at the King Harry Ferry crossing on March 20 last year.
Mr Pewter said the couple had visited St Just in Roseland Church near Truro prior to the tragic incident.
The retired electrical engineer said: "We left the church before 4pm and made and began making our way back and drove along the hill and down to the ferry and for some stupid reason I got out of the car.
"I was about to take a picture and to my amazement the car started moving slowly forward and I couldn't catch it.
"The handbrake was on. I put it into gear and I can't think what happened. The next thing I know it rolled slowly down into the water. It kept on rolling. It just floated and then it disappeared."
Garrick Royle, operations manager of the King Harry Ferry, heard the car hit the water from the opposite bank.
He tried to reach Mrs Pewter in a small boat, assisted by mussel diver Matt Vernon who dived down about 12 times to search for her.
However, Mr Vernon could only hold his breath for about 30 seconds at a time in the murky waters.
Mr Royle said: "I heard a crash and looked behind me and saw the car I saw it splash, it was quite a big splash.
"I could see the passenger window open and it was floating still quite high. There was a lady in an orange jumper who had climbed back onto the seats. "I shouted and there was no response. It floated for four minutes before it went down.
"The window was open and I was really confused why she wasn't getting out but it turns out the dogs were in the back and she was probably trying to get to them."
Rescue teams from the Navy, coastguard, RNLI, police, fire and ambulance personnel arrived soon after but Mrs Pewter died along with her two dogs.
After the car was winched back on to the slipway Mrs Pewter was taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital where she was decared dead.
Forensic vehicle examiner Mark Richards from Devon and Cornwall Police said the handbrake had not been applied hard enough for the sloping slipway.
Deputy coroner for Cornwall Mr Barrie van den Berg said Mrs Pewter had died from drowning and recorded an accidental death.
He said: "It's clear that what's happened is tragic accident. It rolled into the river and it's understandably affected everyone that was there."
