Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff compiled unruly video footage from this year's Ultra Music Festival in an attempt to rid Miami of the festival. Tonight the City of Miami Commission will vote on the fate of the festival armed with the footage.
This year's festival raised even more concern and backlash than the prior years in the wake of the trampling of security guard Erica Mack. Aside from that incident, the video contains footage of ravers jumping fences, jumping onto stages, brawling, resisting police arrest, and visible drug and alcohol abuse.
Sarnoff claims that aside from general welfare, he also speaks on behalf of the local business owners who have incurred significant costs from damage done by unruly attendees. On the other hand, Ultra provides the local economy with a huge boost each year. In 2012 the festival brought in $79 million dollars.
The contract signed between UMF organizers and Bayfront Park guarantees at least 4 more festivals at the site. Ultra has taken to Facebook vowing to return and posting the dates of next year's festival, along with a petition to sign to keep Ultra alive.
Check out a video of the unruly behavior and Commissioner's statements below:

Fluent pipe bends problem
I am trying to model water flow in a pipe that has two bends, one of them is out of plane. The pipe length is 10 diameter long, followed by a 90deg bend with 3 diameter radius of curvature. Then followed by 10 diameter straight pipe, then a 90deg bend followed by 30 diameter straight pipe. Re=3*10^7, pipe diameter=0.7m inlet velocity 6m/s Pressure: 8000,000Pa Materials: water Can anyone give me some advice on the following? I appreciate all your inputs. Thanks! 1. Should I use LES for the viscosity setting? 2. Solver: Steady or Unsteady (1st order? 2nd order?)?? 3. What mesh size should I use if I want to use the adaptive mesh method, and the y+ needs to be 1? 4. Segregated or coupled? 5. What time step size and number of time step should I use?

The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
Nancy Reames, President
Mabel McDonough, Vice President
Mal Bates, Secretary
Pat Milor, Secretary during summer months
Ruth Addiss, Treasurer
Cason UMC currently meets monthly on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 11:30 am. We begin with lunch, a program and then a business meeting. We are also in the process of creating "circle groups" that will meet monthly in member's homes for fellowship, mission education, spiritual development and prayer concerns. Circles offer opportunities to women that have similar interests in service and gives each group an opportunity to meet on a day or time that is best for that group. Circle groups may come together quarterly as an entire unit to share what they are doing and to enjoy fellowship together. It is our goal to expand membership to as many women as possible at Cason UMC. Please contact Nancy Reames or Mabel McDonough if you are interested in joining a circle.
Breakfast with Santa
Cason UMW has several fundraiser events annually to support our missions. In the Spring we have our Luncheon/Fashion Show. In the Fall we have our annual Christmas Bazaar. This is a great Christmas shopping event. We have booths for baked goods, attic treasurers, Thanksgiving table, crafts and accessories - plus we have great food for sale for lunch.
Our 2012 proceeds went to Florida United Methodist Children's Home in Orlando, Global Love In Action (missionary in Ecuador), AVDA (Aid to Victims of Abuse in Delray Beach) and Wycliff Bible Translators (translates bibles into languages of remote countries that have not heard the Good News). 100% of paid pledges go to the United Methodist Women Conference as our commitment to their Global Missions.

By DeNeen L. Brown
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, May 19, 2007
Zora, they've been reading you throughout this city. Reading what you wrote so long ago. Across wards. Across words. Reading in bedrooms and libraries and literary bookstores and basement classrooms. Sinking into comfortable reading chairs and rising to become "lords of sounds and lesser things."
In a citywide event called the Big Read, developed by the National Endowment for the Arts and hosted by the Humanities Council of Washington, hundreds of people read about you -- we mean, Janie and Tea Cake -- in your voluptuous 1937 novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Wondering where the metaphors came from in the novel tracking Janie's quest for love during a life that you compared to a pear tree with "doom and gloom in its branches."
Zora Neale Hurston, the writer and anthropologist, the graduate of Howard University, and now an icon of the Harlem Renaissance, wrote "Their Eyes" in seven weeks. Published in 1937, the book is now regarded as ahead of its time, this story of a woman determining her destiny, no matter the wagging tongues of disapproval in her small town.
Now Washington residents have been reading together, with organizers wondering, hoping really, that such a collective effort -- efforts they have encouraged all over the country -- would help to stop the frightening slide in the number of people who read literature for pleasure.
In 2004, the NEA released a report that found that for the first time in recent history, less than half the adult population reads literature. The report was based on a survey, conducted by the Census Bureau in 2002, which asked people whether they had read any novels, short stories, plays or poetry in their leisure time during the previous 12 months. This excluded reading for school or work.
"You could answer that you read the first page of a John Grisham novel and gave up because it was too hard and you would still be counted," says David Kipen, NEA director of literature. Still, only 46.7 percent of adults in the United States answered yes, a drop from 54 percent in 1992. The decline could have a devastating impact on democracy, on culture, on politics, on education, on everything, the NEA argues. And then what would the world come to?
"We are at a tipping point," Kipen says. "We may have lost a generation in the last decade. We added 40 million people in America, except the reading numbers are flat."
Reading "makes us fully human," says Dana Gioia, NEA chairman.
So, Zora, we spent time doing some of what you used to do: We eavesdropped on the lives of folks, listening to their words and their stories. During the read, which ends today, we listened and watched, wondering if readers would indeed find threads of commonality and connection in your pages. And, yes, maybe pieces of themselves, too.
* * *
At Chapters: a Literary Bookstore on 11th Street NW, which has held daily readings, the white chairs fill up as people carrying their books enter, seeking the company of others in the lonely occupation of reading a book.
Poet Reuben Jackson reads Chapter 8 of "Their Eyes Were Watching God." People circle around him. The day is busy, but they find comfort in listening to someone read them a story.
Terri Merz, co-owner of the bookstore, passes out copies of the book. Jackson is sitting in a chair, and above him are labels that mark the bookshelves: "Literary Criticism," "Psychology," "Philosophy." You wonder really what would happen to books and these shelves and these subjects if more people stopped reading literature. Would it plunge us into another Dark Age, a time when intellectual stimulation became stagnant and ignorance widespread?
Jackson reads: So Janie began to think of Death. Death, that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the West. The great one who lived in the straight house like a platform without sides to it, and without a roof. What need has Death for a cover, and what winds can blow against him?
Jackson stops. "I want to pause and put some of these lines in my pocket," says the poet. "These days we forget how one can paint with language."
A woman in blue asks: "Which one did you say you would put in your pocket?"
"The description of death," Jackson says. "It's so sublime. How do we get something from the world and onto the page? When you see somebody so capable of such consistent beauty as this. It's not easy."
You ask him: Can a collective read save literature?
"Literature can help us," he says. "We are spiritually diminished without literature. Our understanding or comprehension of the world is wounded if we resort to television, video games. I still think the word is powerful."
* * *
In the basement of the Washington Literacy Council, Judy Horowitz introduces "Their Eyes Were Watching God" to her class. Horowitz places a CD into the player. And Ruby Dee begins reading: Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.
The students sit as the words spill out of the CD, picking at scabs of old memories.
One girl's left knee shakes. One woman puts her head on the table.
The people all saw her come because it was sundown. The sun was gone, but he had left his footprints in the sky. It was the time for sitting on porches beside the road. It was the time to hear things and talk.
And Janie, with firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets, begins to tell her life story.
Then the reading ends and the teacher asks: "What do you think?"
She asks how the story so far hits them, makes them think of their own life stories, which she wants them to write.
Carl Townes, 52, says, "When I was a child growing up, there was women sitting out front. There was a girl. She had long hair and smelled good and they had something negative to say about her. The guys was always picking her up and dropping her off. And the women sitting on the porch always had something to say."
The teacher: "Do we do that today?" She writes the word "gossip" on the board.
The teacher asks a student from Guinea whether she recognizes people on Hurston's front porch.
"In my culture," says the woman, "a man marries a first wife and a second wife and when he marries a third, you know they will talk about her."
Adds Kenneth Williams, 68: "My father had seven brothers and four sisters. When they came over, I thought they were telling stories. It sounded like stories. We would be sent to bed, but we didn't go to bed. We would sit on the steps and listen. They'd be talking about everything. We would fall asleep on the stair steps listening to what we thought were stories. Back then telling stories was a way of entertainment."
* * *
Abdul Ali, 22, a student at Howard University, sits in Busboys and Poets, reading Zora. Ali says he took a walking tour, tracing Hurston's steps through the District. "She became real and tangible," he says.
Inspired by the book, he sank in a chair and pulled out a black pen and wrote:
Watching Zora
i saw you under
a patch of shade
on seventh street
or was it the everglade? . . .
and the men and women
drink the evening cool
sitting on the cement brown
stoned porches
where men become lords
of sound speaking death
in iambic pentameter
and women become the
envy of the gods testifyin'
how love is a moving thing.

Cho'Gath Build Guide by akinavman
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Cho'Gath Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I've seen alot of builds for cho all of them where mage-tank but none of them were true tanks and i know Cho' gath isint supposed to be a full tank but i've tried many tanks like rammus, maokai, shen etc. but thay just didnt play theyre role well :/ go figure...
With cho gath u MUST play in lane witha powerful burst champion or at least a good dps... i play with my brother and never did i play badly...
I take armor and magic resist for my runes beacause cho gath is pretty weak at the beginning.
I buy either movement glyphs or deth reduction glyphs
Movement if u feel youre too slow to go nom nom nom on ppl and wanna be faster to land your rupture ahead of fleeing enemy's
Death if u h8 w8ting... or if u die alot...
For masteries u wanna minimise the damage u take so put a few on util. (death time) and 1 on summoner's wrath for your ghost and exaust then put the rest on defence ^^
For the itams you want to buy regrowth pendant 1st so you can stay in your lane longer.
2nd one you have enough money for the levitan, GET IT! as fast as you can then kill and kill kill or be... not killed! get as many assists as you can! this item is great just awesome! its really cheap, gives you alot of health and if you play well 15% less damage! ^^ just.. get it and dont die.
3rd get boots either swiftness ot mercury NOT BOTH! XD your coice.
4th you still want more health and enemy's arent that op yet so no ned for armour just get warmhog's armour its a must with cho dont think twice just get it.
5th now is time for defence... if the enemy is balanced get guardian angel if they arent, see "alternatives"
5th-6th depending on the enemy you want force of nature and thornmail (if ad hurts you more get tm 1st if ap does then get fn 1st) thornmail gives you great armor and hurts dps champions really bad (i remember playing nocturne and attacking garen while he was running away... i killed myself...he had thorn mail). Force of nature is beast! it gives you a hell of alot of health regen and the most magic resist there is.
skill sequence, get rupture 1st it's the best while playing cho tank... (read how to play)
vorpal spikes is quite usefull when farming... nothing more (unless youre mage)
feral sream is really useful when ganking
feast well its just awesome ;)
Summoner Spells
I take exaust and ghost beacause theyre the most useful when tanking exaust is used when rupture isint enough or when the enemy is killing your ally
Ghost is great for many reasons either to run away or go nom nom nom or even to land a rupture.
1st blood
to have 1st blood make sure your both in the bushes then once the enemy aproaches target the shquishy one 1st use rupture when you can then you ally attacks him as he's airborne he will then be unable to flee. If he does not die use exaust so ur ally can finnish him off.
team work
When playing cho as a tank you ALWAYS must be with a good attacker.
Here is a short guide on how to kill:
Single enemy:
1- spot an enemy thets alone
2- ask someone to hide in the bushes
3- go up to the enemy alone
4- attack him head on ( you wont be doing any damage to him so he will try to kill you)
5- use rupture and feral scream (he will be unable to do anything)
6-ur ally comes out of the bushes and kills him (the enemy is silenced and slown he will panic and die) belive me it works ;)
1- jump in
2- knock everyone airborne
3- while theyre airborne use feral scream
4- take damage
5- laugh as the enemy tries to kill you
6- dance
7- win
8-be awesome
9- omg ur invincible
10-ok... dont get too cocky -.-"
Pros / Cons
-Great tank
-Cannot die if levitan at 20 (seriousely i chsed someone past10 turrets and 3 attacking me and only lost 3/4 of my life
-fast (unlike maokai)
-great abillities
- dont even try to go 1v1 you cant deal dmg

Fire is one of the ultimate technologies that separates humans from other animals. Over hundreds of thousands of years humans have learned to master the arts of fire. In the modern era, matches and lighters have replaced the need for fire by friction. Still, this is a skill that builds confidence, requires specialized knowledge of plants and body mechanics, and can impress friends at parties and get togethers. In our workshops we teach you how to begin to master this ancient technology.
The bow-drill is a great introduction to fire by friction. It is one of the most classic methods for making a fire by "rubbing two sticks together". Students will each make a set to take home with them at the end of class. We will also go over the proper form for drilling and perhaps get a fire or two before the day is over!
Date: TBA.
Tuition: $55
The hand drill is another classic method of fire by friction. Though it has less moving parts than the bow-drill, it is much more rough on the hands for beginners. This is a method that requires much more finesse. Students will each make a set to take home with them at the end of class. We will go over the proper form for using the hand drill, and show you a few techniques for making it a bit easier on the palms.
Date: TBA.
Tuition: $55
In this 2 day course we will take your bow-drill making skills up a notch by making a bow-drill in the wilderness, from scratch. We'll start by making quick stone knives and choppers, searching for the best wood. We'll use our stone tools to prepare the materials for our bow-drill. Then we will seek out various materials for making cordage and finish the bow-drill. We'll spend some time working on the various techniques for using a bow-drill made this way, which is slightly different than a bow drill made with modern tools and modern cord.
Dates: TBA
Tuition: $95

Written by Dr. Petak and arranged and orchestrated by Semsen, the play relates the story of a widow and a waitress who give each other the gift of hope in unexpected ways.
Set in Mattiello's (an Italian diner), the production's colorful characters and intertwined relationships will take the hearts of patrons to exciting heights and depths through various twists, turns and surprises.
"While we all have our own secret pains, 'Shepherds and Kings' reminds us that through God's gift of Jesus Christ at Christmas, we are never alone," said Farmington Music Minister Bryan Essary, who is directing the musical. "It is going to be a powerful, intriguing, emotional show you won't want to miss."
Featuring several Corinth Theatre-Arts veterans, including the director and assistant to the director, the musical is free and open to the public.
(Farmington Baptist Church is located at 84 CR 106A in Corinth. For more information contact the church at 662-286-8855 or Director Bryan Essary at 662-665-1244.)

The area of a circle of radius one can be computed with an integral. Similarly, the volume of a three dimensional sphere of radius one can be found with a double
integral. It is well known that one can generalize the concept of a sphere volume (and a circle area) into a higher or lower number of spatial dimensions. These
hypothetical objects are called n-balls. The "n" represents the number of dimensions. For, example a four dimensional sphere of radius one has a
I used Mathematica to evaluate the infinite sum of the volume of all even numbered n-balls of radius one (starting at n equals zero) and got a very fun answer.
The above answer is kind of hard to read. It is supposed to be "e to the pi".

Localized Dimension Growth: A Convolutional Random Network Coding Approach to Managing Memory and Decoding Delay
The authors consider an Adaptive Random Convolutional Network Coding (ARCNC) algorithm to address the issue of field size in random network coding for multicast, and study its memory and decoding delay performances through both analysis and numerical simulations. ARCNC operates as a convolutional code, with the coefficients of local encoding kernels chosen randomly over a small finite field. The cardinality of local encoding kernels increases with time until the global encoding kernel matrices at related sink nodes have full rank. ARCNC adapts to unknown network topologies without prior knowledge, by locally incrementing the dimensionality of the convolutional code.

Learning to Retrieve Images from Text Queries with a Discriminative Model
This work presents a discriminative model for the retrieval of pictures from text queries. The core idea of this approach is to minimize a loss directly related to the retrieval performance of the model. For that purpose, we rely on a ranking loss which has recently been successfully applied to text retrieval problems. The experiments performed over the Corel dataset show that our approach compares favorably with generative models that constitute the state-of-the-art (e.g. our model reaches 21.6% mean average precision with Blob and SIFT features, compared to 16.7% for PLSA, the best alternative).

New Environmental Regulations Open the Door for UVC-LED Based Sensors and Systems
Crystal IS will continue to help sensor manufacturers meet growing demand in 2016
Jan 26, 2016, 09:05 ET
GREEN ISLAND, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Paris Climate Pact highlighted the need for countries across the world to urgently address planet-warming carbon emissions. In recent weeks, governments in Asia and Europe have been battling another key environmental concern- smog caused by automobile and factory emissions. To limit various types of air and also water pollution, governments and regulatory bodies have implemented several new regulations. To demonstrate compliance, industries now need to deploy networks of monitoring sensors.
Deep ultraviolet (UVC) LEDs offer a way to create sensors that are lower cost as well as meet the sensitivity levels and real-time reporting requirements needed to comply with the new regulations. Crystal IS's deep UV LEDs meet this criteria along with industry-leading lifetime of Optan (3,000 hours at maximum drive current), providing the added benefit of longer replacement cycles.
For more information please visit: http://www.cisuvc.com/applications/environmental-sensing
"This year we saw increased interest in finding the best way to monitor air, water and surfaces," said Larry Felton, CEO of Crystal IS. "There is mounting agreement that UVC LEDs are the way to go and Crystal IS is proud to be a partner to sensor manufacturers needing efficient, reliable and cost-effective solutions."
In 2015, regulations requiring monitoring included:
- India Central Pollution Board requiring 24/7 water quality monitoring in India with 15 minute data reporting
- International Maritime Organization looking for:
- limiting exhaust emissions from ships and
- environmentally friendly biofouling control in the marine environment
- US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) needing:
- fenceline monitoring of benzene for petroleum refineries and
- monitoring for lowered ozone levels including background ozone
2016 will see additional regulations requiring monitoring systems and sensor manufacturers will rely on UVC LEDs for reliability and long life, cost efficiency, accuracy of measurement without toxic mercury or other chemicals and design flexibility.

NEW YORK — With April 15 around the corner, two major credit-card issuers are waiving a pesky processing fee to woo consumers to charge their taxes.
Morgan Stanley's Discover Financial and MasterCard International, separately, are partnering with H&R Block to waive the 2.49 percent fee that consumers get hit with when they pay federal taxes by credit card.
But their offer just applies to MasterCard debit cards and Discover credit cards — and only when consumers purchase H&R Block software from the companies' Web sites and pay their taxes there.
The limitations to these promotions mean they may not appeal to a large number of customers. Still, "this is the first year we've done a program like this, and we hope it'll encourage consumers" to use their credit cards for this purpose, said Roger Hochschild, president and chief operating officer of Discover Financial.
American Express is using another tactic. The company notified cardholders in mid-January that they can redeem membership-reward points to offset the third-party processing fee. (Cardholders can trade 200 points for each dollar owed in fees.)
Whether these incentives will be enough to lead a significant number of consumers to take the plunge with credit-card tax payments — and incur high interest rates if balances aren't paid off — remains to be seen.
Issuers hope, however, that by addressing this fee, they can whittle away some resistance, since the extra expense has been one of the main barriers to widespread consumer adoption of this payment method for taxes, according to Ipsos-Insight, a New York market-research firm.
The fee — typically 2.49 percent of federal taxes, or about $88 on the average balance due of $3,523 — has been in place since the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) first accepted tax payments by credit card in 1999.
Official Payments and Link2Gov, the two companies authorized to accept such payments, charge the fee to authorize and confirm the transaction, then share the funds with issuers such as Discover Financial, Visa USA, MasterCard International and American Express.
Tax payments on credit cards have grown dramatically in recent years, but are still struggling to find their place.
In fiscal 2004, more than 950,000 people whipped out plastic to pay federal taxes — representing a small fraction of the 20.79 million returns that owed a balance — but up 70 percent from the year before, according to the IRS. Credit-card payments have risen almost 18-fold since 1999.
A key reason for the rise is the rewards programs that credit-card issuers have created, allowing consumers to get points that can be redeemed for airline tickets, electronics and a slew of other items.
"There are points junkies out there who are going to do as much as they can to get points," even pay taxes on plastic, said Aaron McPherson, research director for Financial Insights in Framingham, Mass.
A handful of card issuers make their rewards programs even more tempting during tax time.
For instance, taxes paid with American Express' Delta Skymiles card through April 15 earn double miles that can be redeemed for airline tickets.
Meanwhile, card association Visa USA said it plans to roll out some perks in coming weeks to encourage tax payments on its cards, but declined to give details.
Before reaching for your plastic, make sure that you have the funds in your bank account to pay off the balance immediately. Otherwise, you could face high interest rates, punishing late fees and over-the-limit charges that likely negate even the most tempting credit-card rewards.
"The obvious point here is to be careful that you're not getting in over your head by paying for a debt on credit card that you can't afford," said Travis Plunkett, legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America in Washington. "This is too important to allow minuscule card rewards to influence your purchasing."
You can avoid the credit-card processing fee by having taxes deducted electronically from your bank account when you e-file. Debit cards with a credit-card logo, however, are still subject to the fees.
Those who want to charge taxes to their credit card can go to select card issuers' Web sites to take advantage of promotions, or directly to Official Payments at www.officialpayments.com, or Link2Gov, at www.pay1040.com.
Besides the 2.49 percent charge for federal taxes paid, additional fees may apply to state and local government payments.

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Ohio were successful in creating small stomachs, also called 'gastric organoids,' from stem cells. The researchers persuaded pluripotent stem cells to grow specifically into stomachs using a cocktail of proteins that created a pathway of interactions that lead to organ formation. The resulting organoids were found to be strikingly similar to an actual human stomach in their gland structure but lacked blood cells, immune cells, or the ability to process food. Researchers tested the tiny stomachs by injecting them with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can cause ulcers and stomach cancer in humans. The effects of the bacterium on the lab-grown stomachs mirrored the effects it creates in human stomachs. The researchers now plan to use these artificially grown stomachs to study diseases such as cancer, and to test the stomach's response to drugs.

Walking after not being very active
Friday, January 18, 2013
So I did get Deacon today. We have had a very busy and full day. Now, keep in mind, I have fibromyalgia and neuropathy and I went to take our current dog to meet Deacon at the shelter. We walked a lot and let them run and get to know each other in a small dog park. They had a little tiff and were broken up. We were given the option to keep him or cancel the adoption. We took Buddy home and the family talked.
Then, we went back to the shelter and adopted Deacon. He came home and we took him for a walk. After lunch, we took him to Petco and met with my Deaf friend who will be helping me train Deacon. Between the treats he got from beginning some training, the treats from employees and then lunch, the poor guy upchucked on the floor of my car in the backseat.
Deacon tries to lie down quietly, but Buddy keeps getting into his face. Buddy is really playing the jealous fool. I took pity on Deacon and took him for another walk. (that makes 3 walks) He ate and then asked to go out, so I took him for yet another walk. By the time we got back, I had racked up 3 miles for the day after not getting any walking in. I am bushed and tired.
I know we have yet at least 1 more walk to go. I also have to work on the basic commands with training. He also needs to be reminded of total house breaking after spending 3 months at the kennel.
So for a pretty much non-exerciser, I have put in 3 miles of walking and I know I have more to go.

Way to go. That is a LOT of walking!
And yeah, kenneling for long periods does a job on dogs' house training. The shelter I volunteer for tries to get the dogs in homes ASAP, or fostered so they don't lose their home skills.

We just finished a wonderful spring break with my boys, and one of the reasons it was so fun was that we spent three days at Six Flags Over Texas, making it seem like we went on vacation even though it was more like a staycation.
Problem is, Six Flags can get really expensive fast. Here are 6 ways that we save money at Six Flags:
Buy a Season Pass
If you plan on visiting Six Flags for even just 2 days throughout the year, a season pass can be your best bet. If you buy your daily ticket at the gate, you'll pay $74.99 or you can buy them online in advance for as little as $56.99. The earlier you buy your season pass during the season, the better deal you'll get. We bought our Gold Combo season pass in December and we get free entry to all Six Flags parks (including Hurricane Harbor) and FREE parking (which saves $23.15 for parking every time we visit) throughout all of 2017.
If you just plan to visit once, make sure you buy your tickets online at least 3 days in advance to save $3 per ticket (and $18 off the ticket price at the gate).
Bring Your Lunch
Although you can't bring food or drinks into the park, they do have a nice picnic area outside the gates where you can sit and eat. Just pack a cooler with food and drinks in your car and get your hand stamped when you leave the park so you can get back in. It may take a little time to walk to your car, but you're saving at least $10 to $12 per person for a meal.
Ask for a Free Cup of Ice Water
If you don't want to shell out the big bucks for a drink, you can ask for a cup of ice water. It's small, but it's also free. You may be able to bring your own water bottle into the park and ask them to fill it with ice water. I'm not positive since I haven't tried it yet.
Buy a Season Drink Bottle
If you plan on buying even just a couple of soft drinks, you might want to consider buying a season drink bottle. They have two types – one where you pay a certain price (as low as $14.99 per bottle) and get free drinks throughout the day you buy it. You'll pay $0.99 per refill on subsequent days (this one's red for 2017). Or, you can buy a season drink bottle for a higher price ($29.99), but you get free refills every time throughout the entire 2017 season (this one is yellow for 2017).
We bought 2 of the yellow bottles to split among our family of 4. It felt super expensive, but it will be worth it with the number of times we plan on visiting this year (and we won't have to think about the $0.99 for refills).
Consider a Basic Season Dining Pass
After we bought our season passes, we got an e-mail several weeks ago with an awesome deal on a Basic Combo Season Dining Pass that was available for only a couple of days. It includes lunch and a snack every time we visit Six Flags or Hurricane Harbor. We jumped on it, since we would make our money back in just a couple of visits. If you plan on visiting several times throughout the year and would prefer to eat in the park, a season dining pass can be the way to go.
Without the dining pass, we would likely either bring our lunches or split a couple of meals between us. We would also probably not splurge on snacks, but it's fun to be able to tell my youngest son, who loves Dippin' Dots, that he can get them with the pass. I also like knowing that after the initial investment on the season passes, dining passes, and season drink bottles, we can visit Six Flags anytime we want without paying a dime other than the gas to get there!
Skip the Fast Pass by Picking a Less Crowded Day to Visit
Since we can visit as many times as we want throughout the year, it would be silly for us to spend the money on a Fast Pass (although my kids might disagree when we're waiting in line), since they can be SO expensive. Even if you're just visiting for the day, you can check out the expected crowd calendar to choose the best days to visit the park.
The earlier you can get to the park, the better, since even on the "Yup It's Packed" days the lines weren't AS bad in the morning. But, expect to wait in line to park, get into the park, get food, drinks, ride on rides…pretty much everything on "Yup It's Packed" or "Forget About It" days.
All three days we visited were "Yup It's Packed" days, but our first Saturday wasn't bad at all since we were expecting thunderstorms in the late afternoon. We took our chances, but others must not have since the lines weren't bad (and we walked right up to the Titan). The other two days we went (a Wednesday and Saturday) were definitely packed and we had to wait at least an hour for most rides (and wait in line for pretty much everything else too).
Whether you get a season pass, bring your lunch, or drink ice water, these are my favorite ways to save money at Six Flags over Texas based on our experience. I've only ever been to Six Flags Over Texas, but I'm assuming that these tips would work at any Six Flags park.
What about you? How do you save money at amusement parks?

I am a phD student at RMIT and work casually in hospitality. I'm friendly, easy going, enjoy a nice chat. I like sharing meals but I also do my own thing(building electronic stuff, riding my bike) so I am quite busy most of the time. I enjoy reading, watching movies, series my concept of Marathon is Nextflix on a weekend but I try to use my bike as much as possible. I also like going out for a drink, listening to live music, cooking in the house and for friends. I am clean, can pay bills on time and I am respectful to other housemates time and space.

Lord, how much juice you can squeeze from a single grape.
How much water you can draw from a single well.
How great a fire you can kindle from a tiny spark.
How great a tree you can grow from a tiny seed.
My soul is so dry that by itself it cannot pray; Yet you can squeeze from it the juice of a thousand prayers.
My soul is so parched that by itself it cannot love; Yet you can draw from it boundless love for you and for my neighbor.
My soul is so cold that by itself it has not joy; Yet you can light the fire of heavenly joy within me.
My soul is so feeble that by itself it has no faith; Yet by your power my faith grows to a great height.

When Bill Dover started working in the restaurant industry close to 50 years ago, Burger King's "Have It Your Way" campaign hadn't launched yet. And fast food wasn't always so fast.
Back in the day, orders were handwritten. So holding pickles, lettuce and adding extra bacon was still a hassle, said Dover, a consultant and director of Toronto-based Xela Enterprises, which has 135 quick-service restaurants in North and South America.

We have friends in the UK, and they are able to afford private care sometimes. They are able to get drugs from the internet, and they often opt to go that way, because what is prescribed to them, they don't like or they dont' feel safe with (imagine that, taking drugs from India or China instead of your own country).
They use a private doctor when they can, but it costs an arm and a leg to go see him, and its cash only, but they feel its worth it, because he speaks English. The first doctor their family was assigned, spoke almost no English, he was what they call asian, which to us is Muslim, I think.
They will tell you, that what used to be a moderate visit to a good doctor, is now x10 the price for a good doctor, under the table, and its hard to get an appointment with them because of overbooking.
They will also tell you that healthcare there really is 2 classes now. Those who are financially stable and well to do, go to their own doctors with cash, and the rest get muzzie doctors and bureaucrat doctors, unless you are lucky (which I guess some people are they say).
Oh, and bribes. If you can't afford a private doctor, they recommend bringing a few extra bucks with you to slip under the table. It helps grease things along, but not always.
My wife is Hungarian, and she commented that this is what it was like in Hungary before she came here to the US.
My SIL is in Germany, and said something similar the other day. They have private insurance from the states and have no problem seeing good doctors and getting prompt treatment. However, her German friends (unless they are very rich) get the socialized medicine. They have to take the whole day off to see the doctor, sit in the waiting room, hope they get called in that day, and then hope they don't have to wait forever for tests, xrays, etc.
Yeah, I can imagine it; I order from India all the time. Yes, Ranbaxy had a quality issue a couple years ago, but it is not as though the US pharmaceutical industry has never had a scandal or a drug pulled LOL!

RIGA - The regional branches of the Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy should be preserved also after the reorganization, said Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis (Greens/Farmers) in an interview with the Latvian public television on Tuesday.
Kucinskis that the reform should improve the quality, but access to studies in regions should be preserved.
As there are still many unclear issues in relation to the planned merger of the academy with the University of Latvia, Education, and Science Minister Karlis Sadurskis has to present all arguments at the coalition meeting on January 16, the prime minister explained.
As reported, the Education and Science Ministry has decided to reorganize the Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy by merging it with the University of Latvia by the end of August. This is necessary to concentrate resources and ensure more effective utilization of budget funds, said the ministry.
Consolidation of higher education institutions is taking place in many countries in Europe at the moment. The goal is to make more efficient use of limited resources, improve the quality of studies and research, and increase higher education institutions' competitiveness. At the moment, teacher training is fragmented in Latvia, furthermore, the comparatively large number of teachers graduate each year (more than a thousand), while only a small part of them go on to work as teachers - 200 to 400 annually.
Therefore, the Education and Science Ministry believes, teacher training should be concentrated at such universities and colleges that can provide quality infrastructure and research opportunities and academic personnel.
The consolidation will cause no financial losses for the academy's students, and their rights to education will not be infringed upon as they will be able to continue their studies at other universities and colleges without having to pay anything on top of what they currently pay for their studies. They will be offered to continue their education at the University of Latvia, Jazeps Vitols Latvian Academy of Music, BA School of Business and Finance, Riga Technical University, or some of the regional universities and colleges.
Representatives of the Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy refused to attend the planned meeting with the Education and Science Ministry's specialists on Monday to discuss the reorganization of the academy. The academy's rector Daina Voita said in a press conference that, under the current legislation, a decision on the reorganization of a higher educational establishment is made by the Cabinet of Ministers. The rector believes that this has not been done.
The Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy was established in 1994. It has 3,514 students at the moment.

#27350: Attaching signals to abstract models don't work as it used to be ----------------------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: thoas | Owner: nobody Type: Bug | Status: new Component: Database layer (models, ORM) | Version: 1.10 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Easy pickings: 0 | UI/UX: 0 ----------------------------------------------+-------------------- Hi,
I'm currently porting an application from Django 1.9.x to 1.10.x, we are relying on managers to attach signals to allow developers overriding them in our generic applications, this does not work anymore. A complete example: {{{ from django.db import models from django.db.models import signals class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=255) answers_count = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) class AnswerManager(models.Manager): def contribute_to_class(self, cls, name): signals.post_save.connect(self.post_save, sender=cls) return super(AnswerManager, self).contribute_to_class(cls, name) def post_save(self, instance, **kwargs): poll = instance.poll poll.answers_count = poll.answers.count() poll.save(update_fields=('answers_count', )) class AbstractAnswer(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length=255) poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll, related_name='answers') objects = AnswerManager() class Meta: abstract = True class Answer(AbstractAnswer): class Meta: abstract = False class ModelsTests(TestCase): def test_simple_compute(self): poll = Poll.objects.create(question='Weird?') Answer.objects.create(poll=poll, text='Yes') # refresh poll = Poll.objects.get(pk=poll.pk) # still 0 on Django 1.10 and 1 on Django 1.9 assert poll.answers_count == 1 }}} The complete application is available [[https://github.com/thoas/django- signals-wtf|here]] and travis is available [[https://travis-ci.org/thoas /django-signals-wtf/builds/167669153|here]] to test again both 1.10 and 1.9.

April 21, 2013
In churches all across America, there are many names that are on membership roles; but membership does not necessarily mean a true relationship with Jesus Christ. One must not become enamored with having their name on the membership role. It is imperative that every church member takes a careful look at their lives and see if they have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.
I am afraid that there are some who have placed faith in their membership instead of their discipleship. Here is what I mean; they are content with just being a member and identifying with a particular church and not really committing their lives to Jesus Christ, and being His disciple. Dr. Tony Evans states that "Discipleship is the process by which we bring all of our life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ." Therefore, a disciple is one who is totally sold out for the Lord and His will for their life. Jesus put it this way, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24 NKJV).
Membership without a relationship is deception. One is deceived by thinking that all they need to do is walk down the aisle and give the preacher their hand, fill out the form and that's it. No, do not be deceived; when you are in a genuine relationship with Christ, you will desire to learn about Him and seek to live according to His word. Jesus commands the one who says they believe in Him not only to be baptized, but also to be taught everything He taught the disciples and to live obediently. To show you just how important it is to be continuously obedient to God's Word, Jesus stated on another occasion to the Jews who believed on him, "If you continue in my Word, then are you my Disciples indeed. (John 8:31).
Jesus gave an illustration of some who were deceived into thinking that just because they did some religious works that they were fine; Jesus said unto them, "I never knew you; depart from me ye that work iniquity. Do not lose sight of what is really important, it is a genuine relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is what He wants; not your name on the membership role.
Attending church every once in a while does not constitute a relationship with Jesus Christ, nor does it make one a disciple. Here is what you must do: receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, strive to learn His holy Word, Pray and seek God continually. If there is a continual desire to live for Him, then you will have a rewarding and lasting relationship with our Lord. Don't just be a member, be a true disciple!
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Moore
