Lieut. Gov. Gray Davis, the Democratic Party's first white male nominee for governor of California since 1978, won that prize for his party for the first time in those 20 years on Tuesday by piecing together a broad coalition that cut across virtually all voter groups, including two-thirds of moderates and half of whites.
But when the next history of California politics is written, Mr. Davis's election may also be seen as an important milestone on the steady path toward the moment when the demographics of California's electorate -- long disproportionately white -- catch up with the demographics of its increasingly diverse and Hispanic population.
Hispanic voters made up about 13 percent of the statewide electorate on Tuesday, still well below their 20 percent share of California's total adult citizen population, but a bit more than their 10 percent share in the 1994 governor's race and more than double their 5 percent share in 1990. Mr. Davis drew nearly 8 of every 10 Hispanic votes, compared with fewer than 2 in 10 for his Republican opponent, State Attorney Gen. Daniel E. Lungren.
Another Democrat, Assemblyman Cruz M. Bustamante of Fresno, won the race to succeed Mr. Davis as lieutenant governor, becoming the first Hispanic official to be elected statewide in more than 120 years.
All that is in no small measure the legacy of the state's retiring Republican incumbent, Gov. Pete Wilson, who first won office eight years ago with nearly half the Hispanic vote. But in 1994, when Mr. Wilson defeated his Democratic challenger, Kathleen Brown, with a vocal and polarizing campaign to halt illegal immigration, his share of the Hispanic vote fell to just under 30 percent.Continue reading the main story
In that campaign, Mr. Wilson sponsored a ballot measure, Proposition 187, to curtail illegal immigration, and used television commercials showing immigrants streaming across the border as an announcer intoned, ''They keep coming and coming.'' Mr. Wilson has insisted he meant to target only illegal immigrants, but even some leading Republicans have said the campaign was ill advised.
''Well, they have kept coming, and they're going to be a much larger percentage of the vote,'' said Mervin Field, the dean of California poll takers. ''They're a more integrated part of the society now, and they're clearly voting with the Democrats.''
Over the last four years, California Republicans have struggled in vain to rebuild their support among Hispanic voters -- and among moderate voters over all -- and Mr. Lungren ran extensive advertisements in Spanish. But the effort fell far short of Republican hopes. With all precincts reporting in unofficial returns, Mr. Davis defeated Mr. Lungren 58 percent to 38 percent, an even bigger margin than Mr. Wilson's lopsided victory over Ms. Brown.
Four years ago, Mr. Wilson took just over half the votes of moderates, a quarter of Democrats, half of women and all socioeconomic groups except the very poor, according to surveys of voters leaving the polls. This year, Mr. Lungren lost all those groups, and held only a slim edge over Mr. Davis among white men.
''This great victory is more than just electing a candidate for Governor,'' Mr. Davis told his supporters on Tuesday night. ''It is a clear affirmation that Californians want to take a moderate path to the future.''Continue reading the main story

Bald Suspect Stole Rogaine Long Island
February 3, 2012 by staff
Bald Suspect Stole Rogaine Long Island, Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and the Fifth Precinct Crime Section are seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating two men, one of whom was bald, who are believed to have stolen Rogaine from a CVS pharmacy in Sayville, NY.
Police released photographs of the two suspects taken from video surveillance cameras at the CVS on Long Island and are hoping someone recognizes the men.
According to information released by the Suffolk County Police Department the two black men entered the pharmacy on Saturday, December 17, at approximately 8:45 PM. They were caught by the security videotape placing three boxes of the hair-raising topical cream Rogaine into a gift bag. The surveillance cameras recorded the alleged thieves exiting the store without paying for any merchandise.
The Rogaine is valued at $150.
A $5000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for the theft. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-220-8477. All calls will be kept confidential. Images of the suspects can be seen below.
Police authorities have posted pictures of the men, along with details of the crime to the Suffolk County Police Department Facebook wall, hoping someone from the community will recognize the faces and come forward.

Free Gift for You: Crumbs and Embers
I not only write, I read a lot. Last year I spent a lot of time researching blogs and reading up on marketing.
The names to follow—the Michael Hyatt, Jeff Goins—say the same thing: growing an email list is the wisest marketing move to make.
If Jeff Zuckerberg decides to shut Facebook down tomorrow or make it so limited I'm not eligible, I'm out a lot of people. Worst case scenario, I know. But I'd rather try to reach these friends now and have them choose to also subscribe to my newsletter so no matter what happens in social media, I can still connect.
Last year I wanted to thank my faithful subscribers for following this unpublished author by sending them something no one else had. They received monthly installments of what is now the novella, Match Made in Heaven. Readers were drawn into Dean and Beth's world as they healed from hurts and learned to trust God. Subscribers also got a glimpse of another Upstate NY feature, the Finger Lakes. I love sharing the area where I grew up.
I asked what they would like in 2015 as a thanks and they responded with another romance, a sequel of sorts. Wendy Bass gets to tell her story in Crumbs and Embers, another Finger Lakes Upstate NY romance. As director of the Hammondsport senior complex, she appears in control. But when she received unexpected news, her secret unravels and fire commissioner Derek Spencer knows. Will he spill her secret or keep quiet in hopes of protecting his own skeletons?
For new subscribers, you get the full novella of Match Made in Heaven. For all subscribers, Crumbs and Embers will start to come to your mailbox in February. Count on monthly (or so) installments along with writing updates and book news.
How do you subscribe? Easy. Complete the form in the right sidebar of http://juliearduini.com and watch for activation. Sometimes those emails go to spam, so check your folder and look for something from Julie Arduini/MailChimp.
What else?
Would you tell others? I'd love to share this gift with as many people as possible.
Happy subscribing and reading!
Oh, and if you'd like a visual on Crumbs and Embers, check out my Pinterest board.

| Salma-sol chapter 1 . 11/5/2005
wow. there are no words to describe this awsomeness that is your story. it's a little bit creepy at the end, where you say "in emerald mirrors that were a shade darker than they should have been, but now there was him and only him and it didn't matter." it's like she thinks she has Neal back, or something. like Baird is a substitue for Neal. *shudders* it's creepy, but so well-writen creepy that I can't help loving it!

| Anaroriel chapter 1 . 9/28/2005
*Sob* That was really good! I really like how you described Kel's feelings as ashes and desert and how you described what losing Neal felt like to Kel. The emotion was very good throughout the piece, and the imagery was also fantastic. The last paragraph stands out in my mind as being very beautifully written, but as a whole it was very good. Keep writing!

The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for the manufacture of boxes or cartons, and more specifically to a vision inspection or monitoring system for measuring in-line the quality of each finished box or carton--especially corrugated boxes.
Boxes or cartons such as corrugated boxes are produced by the container industry on high-speed manufacturing machinery. The machines employed for this purpose are complicated assemblages of interworking parts, which automate the box manufacturing process, converting a simple cardboard blank into a box in a "folded-down" state. In a typical process, score lines are added to the blank at appropriate positions in order to define four side panels and eight end panels. A glue flap extends along one of the side panels. The scored blank is fed to an automated machine, which employs a conveyor system to move the scored blank through the machine. In this way, the blank undergoes controlled movement in a longitudinal direction while minimizing and, preferably, eliminating undesirable lateral movement. Glue is applied to the glue flap at a "glue station" within the machine, and the exterior side panels of the blank are then folded upon their adjacent interior side panels by means of cooperating deflection devices provided along the conveyor belt path so that the glue flaps meet the opposite exterior panels in order to produce a finished box in its folded-down state, as it emerges from the machine. In an embodiment of this invention, the seam between the panel and the glue flap may be pressed through press rolls.
These boxes are manufactured at speeds in excess of 300 blanks per minute. Yet, at least thirty different machine variables such as feed roll pressure, conveyor belt speed, timing of the folding device cycle, and the like contribute to a properly manufactured box. For instance, if the folding mechanism is not timed properly in sequence with the moving blank, a square fold will not be obtained. Likewise, if the blank is not securely retained by the traveling or conveyor mechanism or is engaged too strongly by the folding mechanism, it could "fishtail," thereby preventing a square fold. Therefore, if any of these variables is not precisely coordinated with the other variables, the folding machine will not produce an optimal "square" box which, when unfolded, will have all 90° angles.
The operator of the folding machine, thus, encounters significant problems in controlling the production of the boxes to achieve desired optimal results. Because the blanks travel at speeds in excess of 300 units per minute, it is impractical for the operator to visually follow the folding and gluing steps in order to control the process to produce boxes with 90° angles. Likewise, it would be commercially unfeasible for the operator to cease operation of the folding machine periodically in order to inspect a box. Statistical processing control has been suggested to overcome this problem whereby selected representative samples of completed boxes are collected and analyzed to determine the acceptability of the product being produced and the desirability of adjusting the manufacturing process variables to overcome any detected defects. However, it is clear that an in-line capability of performing quality control checks of the product being produced without interfering with the production run would be highly desirable and significantly more operationally effective for adjustment of the process variables as opposed to analysis of already produced product. Also, quality control inspection of every box produced would be a highly desirable improvement over prior random sampling systems. Therefore, provision of such capability for in-line quality control monitoring of each box in production without interfering with the production run would be highly advantageous relative to prior processes employed in this art.
Various video inspection systems are known in the prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,344,146 issued to Davis, Jr. et al., for example, discloses such a scheme consisting of a television camera, which produces a digital video image of the subject matter, an interface with a direct memory access channel for structuring the digital data, high-speed random access memory for storing the data, a bus oriented processor for processing the data in the memory, a digital computer for controlling operation of the system, and a terminal which presents the data to the machine operator so any flawed work pieces may be detected and fixed. Davis indicates that such a system could be used to ensure that labels are correctly placed on bottles. U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,888 issued to Lapidot teaches an automatic work station for inspection of work pieces traveling along a production line, incorporating a television camera and a computer. The machine operation may retrieve the stored images to verify the detected flaws, and remove the applicable work pieces at a downstream sorting station. However, the video inspection systems disclosed by Davis and Lapidot merely provide a visual image of the workpiece, which then must be analyzed by the operator to determine whether any product flaws fall within acceptable ranges. Such an analysis is time consuming, prone to inaccuracy and subject to the skill of the operator.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,578,052 issued to Engel et al., by contrast, provides a method and apparatus for detecting deviations of folds in a sheet of paper in which electro-optical sensors are positioned above the folding cylinder of a folding machine. These sensors electrically evaluate markings prepositioned on the sheet along the desired fold line, and a computer evaluates and processes the data. As illustrated in FIG. 4 of the reference, the system detects sheets having skewed folds, because the distance between each respective mark and a common reference point will not be the same. The operator uses the data to make necessary adjustments to the folding machine. The Engel system, though, is dependent upon prepositioning the marks along the fold lines, which requires an extra step in the manufacturing process, thereby increasing production costs.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a system for monitoring the quality of boxes or containers such as corrugated cardloard containers during the manufacturing process.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a video inspection system for evaluating fold lines of box blanks traveling at high speeds, and automatically determining and measuring any deviations from an optimal square box configuration wherein all angles of the unfolded, open box or carton assembly will be right angles.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system which will process in-line quality control data or information representing the folded configuration of each box or carton produced and indicative of the alignment of the resulting finished box or carton, and present it to the machine operator in a variety of formats, for example, in regard to the last box produced, the average box produced, and the boxes having maximum and minimum variation from acceptable product criteria.
A still further object is to provide an apparatus for conducting quality control inspection of each box produced in a box forming operation in-line during the production process.
These and other objects are achieved by employing vision processing equipment to electronically image or photograph at least one of the edges of every box blank as it is conveyed through a box forming machine after the blank has been appropriately scored, folded and glued to produce a box in a "folded-down" state having four interconnected, slotted panels with a gap or "manufacturer's joint" formed between two adjacent ones of these panels by a glued down "glue flap" which provides the interconnecting element between such panels.
The electronic image is digitized and processed employing known vision processing computer equipment, and the digitized data obtained from the photograph of the actually produced product is employed to measure certain critical parameters of the produced product in order to perform quality control analysis thereof. The critical parameters of the formed box include a measurement of the gap width, any longitudinal taper of the gap width, and a determination of the alignment of the lateral edges of the two panels surrounding the gap in relation to the lateral edge of the gap. By comparing the results of this measurement procedure, preferably utilizing extrapolation techniques, with criteria stored in the computer, an indication is provided of the quality of the formed box and a determination is made as to whether the quality of the formed box is within acceptable parameters.

In a standard process for producing corrugated cardboard containers known in the trade as "RSCs" (Regular Slotted Containers), the finished box or carton is made from a flat blank 10 illustrated in FIG. 1, which has score lines 11 and slots 13 formed therein at strategic positions in order to accommodate production of a box having four side panels 12, 14, 16 and 18. The score lines 11 form the perimeter to the side panels 12, 14, 16 and 18 of the box and slots 13 project outwardly generally along the extensions of the score lines 11 to form bottom panels 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d and top panels 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d on panels 12, 14, 16, and 18, respectively. It should be noted that panels 20a and 20c, and 22a and 22c, as well as panels 12 and 16 have the same general lateral width, whereas panels 20b, 20d, 22b, 22d, 14, and 18 likewise have the same general width relative to one another. The bottom and top panels 20 and 22 may be folded inwardly in an appropriate overlapping manner to provide a bottom and a top, respectively, for a finished box. In addition, glue flap 24 extends outwardly from the longitudinally exterior edge of side panel 12. Accordingly, by appropriate folding of the side panels 12, 14, 16 and 18, the bottom panels 20, and the top panels 22 about the score lines 11 and gluing of the glue flap 24 to interconnect exterior side panel 12 with exterior side panel 18, a box is formed having a depth D and side lengths L1 (corresponding to the lateral width of panels 12, 16, 20a, 20c, 22a, and 22c) and L2 (corresponding to the lateral width of panels 14. 18, 20b, 20d, 22b, and 22d).
FIG. 2 shows in schematic form a box manufacturing apparatus 30, for processing a prescored blank 10 into a finished box. In this regard, a leading edge 26 of the blank is fed into the machine 30 via a traveling means such as a conveyor belt 31. The leading edges 26a and 26d of the blank 10 are formed by the laterally exterior edges of the top panels 22a and 22d, respectively, while leading edge section 26b is being formed from a combination of top panels 22b and 22c of the blank 10. Trailing edges 28a, 28b and 28d likewise are formed by the exterior edges of the bottom panels 20a, 20d, and combined panels 20b and 20c.
While the blank 10 is being moved on the conveyor belt, glue is placed on the glue flap 24 of blank 10 at a gluing station 32, and the panels 12, 14, 16 and 18 are folded about score lines 11 in a folder mechanism 34 of the machine 30. Any of a number of folding devices known in the art such as helical conveyor belts, helical deflection rails, or pivoting arms may be employed for purposes of the folder 34 to fold box side panel 12 onto side panel 14, and side panel 18 onto side panel 16 In so doing, glue flap 24 comes to rest either on top of or beneath side panel 18 along its exterior longitudinal edge. If desired, the seam created by the interconnection of the glue flap 24 with panel 18 may be pressed by press rolls, although such pressing is not required to produce a finished box in a folded-down position As illustrated in FIG. 3, the finished boxes are squared and stacked at station 38, and then conveyed to a final storage position 40.
As previously noted, in the event that proper setting and/or synchronization is not achieved in the blank traveling and folding sections of an automated folding machine used in the container industry, the blank may fishtail or side panels 12 and 18 may not be properly folded over onto panels 14 and 16, thereby producing an undesirable folded down box blank 50 without square edges, as shown in FIG. 4, which, when opened, will not provide a box with 90° angular alignment between adjoining panels. Such a poorly folded blank 50 may exhibit manufacturer's joints 52 and 54, which are not of equal width (unlike the manufacturer's joints 21 and 23 of properly folded blank 10 depicted in FIG. 3), or, if the manufacturer's joints are equal, they may be too wide. Likewise, the lateral edges, which are at right angles to the direction of travel of the blank 10 through the machine 30, of panels 12 and 18 may not lie in proper alignment. Such an improperly folded blank 50, as shown in FIG. 4, causes severe quality control problems, especially considering the high volume in which these boxes are produced.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide monitoring means for detecting in-line whether undesirable blanks, such as blank 50, are being produced, and for enabling the operator to assess and analyze the problem in the setting and/or synchronization of the operating apparatus and to adjust the critical parameters of the production process in order to overcome these problems, and to enable production of "square" boxes The term "square" box, as used herein, means a box having a manufacturer's joint or gap, which measures a desired width between adjacent interior panels, the longitudinal edges of which are parallel with each other and do not cause the gap to vary or taper along the longitudinal axis of the box as it is fed through a box forming machine, and which exhibits an alignment of the trailing and lead edges of the exterior panels such that they are parallel to each other and are overlappingly co-extensive with the trailing and lead edges of the interior panels. The portion 36 of panels 20b, 20c, 22b, and 22c, which is visible beneath the gaps or manufacturer' s joints 21 and 23 in FIG. 3 or 52 and 54 in FIG. 4 has an edge 37, hereinafter referred to as the "gap lateral edge."
In accordance with the present invention, therefore, a visual inspection system is positioned in at least one of the stations 42 and 44, preferably, at both 42 and 44 in order to enable evaluation of the condition of the folded panel prior to squaring and stacking, and after squaring and stacking of the finished box. Such visual inspection system provides a method of monitoring the quality of the boxes, using visual processing technology. In conjunction with a known light source, such as strobe light 43, a known, commercially available, high-definition video device 45 (such as that sold by Allen-Bradley Company under the tradename "CVIM System") takes an electronic image of the trailing edge 28 and/or lead edge 26 of every blank 10 as it exits folder 34 and approaches squaring and stacking station 38. It should be noted that other visible inspection devices may be utilized to achieve an electronic image. As illustrated, the photographic image, in turn, is transmitted to computer 48, where it is electronically digitized and processed.
FIG. 5 illustrates a computer-assisted processing method for analyzing and evaluating a folded-over blank 10, where it is understood that the various reference points and arrows depicted are not part of the blank, itself. Using the electronically digitized image of blank 10 produced by the video camera 45, a commercially available computer (such as that sold by Allen-Bradley Company in their "CVIM System" determines the gap width W between the facing longitudinal edges of panels 12 and 18 which are interconnected via glue flap 24. For example the gap width W may be measured by determining the distance Z between video reference points U and V, and the distances X and Y between points U and V and the exterior longitudinal edges of their respective side panels 12 and 18. Subtracting distances X and Y from distance Z yields gap width W. The resulting gap width W is then compared with a critical value stored in the computer for an idealized square box.
As a further critical element in assuring the quality of the box being formed in the process, the computer also evaluates the folded-over blank for alignment, as, for example, by determining distances A, B, and C between a reference line Q visually superimposed on the blank by the computer, and trailing edges 28a, 28b, and 28d of blank 10. The folded-over blank will have square folds if the differential distance between distance A and distance B is substantially equivalent to the differential distance between distance C and distance B. However, in the event that a taper angle α of the longitudinal edge of panel 12 relative to the longitudinal axis of the gap exists, then the folded-over blank will not have square folds. Taper angle α may be calculated as generally the arctangent of the ratio of the differential distance between distance A and distance B, as defined above, to the width of the lateral edge of panel 12. Likewise, a taper angle β may be calculated for panel 18, as generally the arctangent of the ratio of the differential distance between distance C and distance B to the width of the lateral edge of panel 18. For further reference, taper angles α and β may be combined to provide a general indication of the overall longitudinal taper of the edges surrounding the gap (See FIGS. 4 and 7).
After the computer makes the required analysis, the comparative data is stored in a computer database. The machine operator may reference or recall this data at any time in order to determine whether boxes with squarely folded edges are being produced by the ongoing operation.
While certain prior art box manufacturing methods rely upon statistical analysis of a representative sampling of the overall number of produced boxes to make quality measurements, the present invention allows this measurement to be made on every box produced, thereby freeing the manufacturer from the imperfections of statistical analysis. In this way, the manufacturer is in a position to actually certify to the customer that the boxes have been properly made. Without this invention, such a certification could only be truly made by hand inspecting every single box, a laborious and expensive proposition.
Based upon the data of the video inspection system, the operator can optimize the machine parameters both during a box production run and for the next run. Moreover, he can determine whether the folding machinery has been properly designed.
As shown in FIG. 2, an appropriate light source, such as a strobe light 46, and video device 47 may also be installed above the passing boxes at a position relative to stacking station 38 so that an electronic image of the desired lateral edge of the passing box may be obtained. In this regard, it should be noted that, although reference is made herein to analysis of the trailing edge of the box blank, the leading edge may also be used as an appropriate reference point. The computer analysis of the electronically digitized image of each blank 10 is the same as described above, and this allows the operator to determine whether the box has been squarely folded. Certification of the finished product is more accurate at this point in the box manufacturing process.
However, a further problem is encountered in regard to the analysis of the folded box being fed to the squaring stacker station 38 by a bottom feed device. In such an arrangement, the pressed blank 10 is added to the bottom of the stack of blanks held in squaring and stacking station 38 until a suitable number of blanks are collected at which time the complete stack of folded boxes is conveyed to a final storage location 40. Thus, an overhead video device can observe only the uppermost box blank in each of the stacks since the subsequently fed blanks in such stacks will all be hidden from view by the top box.
The present invention, therefore provides a box "shuffler" arrangement 68, shown in FIG. 6. As conveyor belt 60 carries blank 10 beneath stack 38, the blank is urged against stationary front block 62 by a "spanker" 61, which reciprocates in the longitudinal direction of machine operation in order to square the stack 70 of box blanks 10. As each blank 10 ascends in the stack as a result of subsequent blanks being fed thereunder, it reaches a position or level suitable for an electronic image to be taken thereof by video device 47 which may operate in conjunction with a light source, such as strobe light 46, in a manner equivalent to vision device 45 referenced above. When the blank 10 reaches the proper position for the electronic image to be taken, a shuffler device 68 reciprocates longitudinally in the machine direction under the influence of compressed air, and is synchronized to remove the blank next preceding the blank 10 to be imaged from covering an edge portion of the blank 10 so that the necessary electronic image can be viewed by the equipment 47. After the image is taken, the shuffler 68 then urges the blank 10 into an essentially squared final stack 72 beneath preceding blanks, thus uncovering the necessary edge section of the next subsequent blank. Once a sufficient number of the blanks have been accumulated and the final stack 72 reaches a predetermined height, armature 74 moves the stack 72 forward onto a conveyor belt 60, where it is baled and shipped to the customer.
In this way the apparatus of the present invention allows a box manufacturer automatically to check the quality of the folded edges of corrugated boxes during the manufacturing process both before and after the squaring stage, and to certify the quality of all the boxes to a customer without the time consuming process of checking the boxes by hand, or the imperfect process of certifying quality based upon a statistical analysis of a random sampling of the produced boxes.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, since many modifications may be made. The invention is therefore contemplated to cover by the present application any and all such modifications which fall within the true spirit and scope of the basic underlying principles disclosed and claimed herein.

Arta lui Mathijs Vissers
L-am descoperit recent pe Mathijs rasfoind prin threadless. Am gasit ceva interesant la modul in care se exprima, insa cel mai tare mi-a atras atentia seria de lucrari The Floating Freaks, pe care avem placerea sa o prezentam alaturi de un q&a cu Mathijs Vissers, unde aflam mai multe despre artist direct de la sursa.
The Charmer. A hypnotist with a literal third eye. Has a detached hand as a pet. Prefers little children for dinner. You really don't want to meet him.
The Corrupted Man. Originally a priest, dedicated his life to the word of god and fending off the many evils of the world. Eventually, this took its toll on him. The fight between good and evil is still going on in his face, a moving, living canvas of deformity, disease and corruption.
The Melting Man, an old man who fought against his personal demons all of his life. To stop the madness spewing from his mouth, he even resorted to sewing his own lips closed. But to no avail, because he eventually had to give in and let the demon inside come out.
The Slither, the young girl in the group. She has an intense love for snakes, her little pet snake even has his little home inside her skull.
The Amazing Man-Spider. We all know the story of Spiderman, this guy is the result of the same thing, but things did not turn out so positive for him.

The Wonderful Kingdom of Papa Alaev Trailer (2016)
Meet Tajikistan's answer to the Jackson family. Nearly 80, Allo "Papa" Alaev rules his celebrated folk music clan with an iron tambourine. Beginning with his unilateral decision to emigrate to Israel, the gifted musician micro-manages nearly every aspect of their lives, both on stage and off. From every meal made in his kitchen to what instrument each member will play, the patriarch accepts nothing less than total commitment and obedience. Every child and grandchild lives in their single-family house in Tel Aviv. All but one, that is. His only daughter, Ada, chose her own way in life, a sin her father will not forgive. As generations clash over new musical directions, competing personal interests and Papa's advancing age, the family show must go on—but who will lead the band? Set to a blazing tribal soundtrack, drama and drumbeats sing out from every entertaining exchange in this grand family affair.

Ore Sheep Mod 1.7.10
Author: Icedice9 ❘ August 31, 2016 ❘ 25,893 views
Ore Sheep Mod 1.7.10. Sheep love rocks, they just don't know it. Teach them to eat stone by weakening them with splash potions of weakness and feeding them diamonds. They will quickly reject their previous grass-eating behaviors for anything rocky. Ore Sheep Mod will eat stone, stone stairs, netherrack, stone slabs buttons and pressure plates, cobblestone walls, mossy and regular cobblestone, gravel, and regular Minecraft ores. When an ore sheep eats an ore, it will begin growing that ore instead of wool. "Shear" the ore sheep by right-clicking it with a pickaxe. While in creative mode, you can induce an ore sheep to grow an ore by right clicking the sheep with your ore of choice.
Mod Showcase:
How to install Ore Sheep Mod 1.7.10

Colored with Copic Sketch Markers - my own pose/version of Ma'hah I did for www.TalesofAmalthea.com for the Styrah earlier in the year. Sometimes you have to kick back and relax, even if you're the head honcho of the tribe. [link] Check out Lesson 01 (The Styrah) for free. [link] The original design of Ma'hah was created by Terryl Whitlatch. This is just my drawing of him in an original pose. Created by Terryl Whitlatch
How about now doing the Elemex and Teezzor?
I would love to, I just don't have the time at the moment with other jobs on the schedule.
I love Terryl Whitlatch and I am seriously considering signing up for ToA. Has it helped you a lot?
The way it breaks the anatomy down and how Terryl explains it in addition to how she uses her copic sketch marker coloring process it's def. helpful and informative.
AT LAST!!!! Some Tales of Amalthea stuff on DA!!!!
Looks like a cross between a dinosaur and a goat.

Energy Forecasts Were Proven Wrong
June 25, 1999
Just two decades ago, every environmental organization and many energy experts predicted a bleak future by the late 1990s. They said that an inevitable and rapid decline in the availability of fossil fuels would create soaring energy prices with attendant economic and social disruption. Numerous studies, policy forums, and conferences devoted to the looming problem of limited resources (especially fossil fuels) and limited economic growth sprang from these dismal forecasts, including current prescriptions for human-induced global warming.
Two things were clear to those experts twenty years ago: oil was disappearing, and electric demand would stabilize. However confident those experts were in their predictions, the data gathered in the past two decades suggests that they were totally wrong.
- In 1981, conservative estimates projected oil prices at $80 a barrel, even after peace was restored in the Persian Gulf; oil prices today remain near the 100-year-long average price of $17 a barrel.
- Renewable sources, excluding large-scale hydro power, only account for under one percent of the U.S. energy supply.
- Demand for electricity, contrary to the 1980 forecast by the Union of Concerned Scientists of flat growth, has actually soared 70 percent since 1980.
- In the two decades since the estimates, gross domestic product grew 75 percent, and traditional fossil fuels supplied 65 percent of all net new energy, with nuclear power accounting for virtually all the balance.
Today, environmentalists and energy experts still predict the same dismal fate for the environment and economy. The reason for the past and current failure of environmental energy forecasters stems from their inability or unwillingness to understand technological progress in general, and more broadly perhaps, a lack of imagination flavored by a deep inherent pessimism regarding the technology innovations of industry.

Flashcards makes it easy to study on the go. Download and sync your sets from Course Hero Flashcards, browse from millions of pre-existing sets or create your own online! Generating sets has never been easier just go to www.coursehero.com/flashcards Study right with the unique SmartStudy mode. SmartStudy uses a variation of a Leitner Box system, which is scientifically proven to increase the effectiveness of flash cards. The app will display the cards you need to study them, when you need to study them to make sure you know the material. Flashcards is designed to make it easy for you to create your own flashcards on the iPhone. It is simple to generate sets of your own flashcards. Put whatever you want on a card: text, pictures, or even audio. Create as many sets as you want with as many cards as you want. Your Flashcards speak. Now with Text to Speech you can hear your flashcards. With support for over 30 languages! Easily create flashcards on your iPhone or iPod Touch to carry with you anywhere you go. Studying has never been easier! Each card can have text, images, audio, or any combination of the three on the front or on the back. Create cards with images of paintings and their artists, or classical compositions and their composers. Change the font size, font color, and background color of your cards. Create your cards how you want to create them. The possibilities are endless. Create a group for your cards, and then create as many cards as you want. The cards can appear in random order or sequentially, whichever you decide. While you're running through, if you notice a flashcard that you've got down, just mark it to skip and it won't appear until you choose to include it again. Right before your test the touch of one button will reset all the flashcards so you can run through them again. It's that simple. Quickly find your cards! If you need to make a modification to a card, don't browse through hundreds of cards, just start typing and find your card quickly, make the changes and get back to studying! Add topics to your groups and then put your cards into multiple topics. Turn an entire topic on or off, or study one at a time. All the time the application tracks how many times you get a card right or wrong, then decide to skip it or turn SmartStudy mode on and let the application handle how often to show your cards. You decide what goes on your flashcard. You decide to go through them randomly or sequentially. You learn the material. You ace the test. Supports special characters! To write a character with an accent, hold down the base key for a second, and the variants will be available to choose from! Course Hero Flashcard Syncing currently does not support audio, or images on the back side of cards. If you have any questions or problems, e-mail email@example.com.

From 2001 to 2013, Michael Vecchione was chief of the Rackets Division in the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, which was the largest urban prosecution agency in the country. Vecchione grappled with organized crime and dirty politicians, during which he supervised, investigated, and prosecuted major felony cases.
Crooked Brooklyn is a gritty story of corruption, greed, and law enforcement. Vecchione navigated a political minefield and expertly rose to the judicial challenges of directing investigations into a wide variety of crimes, from bribe-taking judges to cold-blooded killers. He was responsible for taking down three state Supreme Court judges, one of the most powerful political bosses in the country, two cops who worked as assassins for the Mafia, and a corrupt oral surgeon who was secretly selling bones from the recently deceased to medical supply companies. Unbelievable and unforgettable, Crooked Brooklyn is a story that will appeal to fans of Law & Order, readers and listeners of true crime, and those hungry for details about the system that keeps us safe.

"A gritty real life view from the front lines." (Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family)
"one of the best books I have read in a long time ."
this is the second book I have listen to. I enjoyed the entire book. living and growing up in the new York metropolitan area I found this books accounts accurate but yet entertaining. I can't wait to read his next book .
"Good stories but..."
Overall I would like to say that I liked the book, Crooked Brooklyn. My only issue with the story is the length. The book has some very interesting stories and people but I feel like most of them are brushed over. This book almost seemed like an abridged version. Maybe M.V. Is saving the in-depth stories for another book.
"Brooklyn's finest Chief Michael Vecchione A legend in law-enforcement."
Being a former boss in Law Enforcement, as the commanding officer of inspectional services/special investigations unit for NYHP. It was a privilege having experienced working with the people mentioned in this book The best of the best, and the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, over my 30 years on the job. When requiring assistance and Conducting joint investigations. when bringing cases to their attention that was always looked at thoroughly and efficiently and made sure probable cause and the proper evidence warranted investigation. I believe this book was very factual, realistic and authentic. I think everyone in Law Enforcement who believes in what they Took an oath to do should read this book, and learn the struggles stress and dedication this office has, to bring justice to everyone we serve. Congratulations Mike on the book, and the Brooklyn DAs office your the backbone of the city. thank you for job well done, Chief SIU Retired.

Following an uneventful flight to Guernsey it was found that the cowling on the rear (No 2) engine had become partially detached as a result of the failure of one of the fasteners. This had allowed movement of the upper half of the cowling such that it had contacted the propeller, causing minor damage to the blades.
