Dual HEBI Builds and Future Metagame Predictions
Recently a thread entitled "Dual HEBI Warbands" was started by Niccolo on the Maxminis Skirmish Forum discussing the potential of dual Half Elf Bow Initiate (HEBI) builds. Many people were discussing the pros and cons of the band and soon it was revealed that several people had been testing HEBI bands and having tremendous success with it. Here are some of the builds, dual and single HEBI, that were revealed:
You got a, uh, HEBI? by ktatroe (webmaster of Hordelings.com)
Valenar Commander
Half-Elf Bow Initiate
Cleric of Kord
Elf Pyromancer
Evermeet Wizard
Krusk, Half-Orc Barbarian or Elf Warrior x4
ktatroe says: "I've done well with this around here, only losing one game -- to another HEBI-based warband, with the sneakiest of changes to the usual HEBI line-up, piloted by my brother".
No word on what the "sneakiest of changes" was.
HEBI Variant By Nixlord
Inspiring Marshal
Frenzied Berserker
Evermeet Wizard
Graycloak Rangers x2
Wolf Minions x2
Elf Warrior
Gnome Recruit
Nixlord says: "So far they are actually faring quite well against CE trifekta and non-LSD LG warbands".
Malice HEBI by Shadow_Fox
1 Ryld Argith
1 Evermeet Wizard
5 Elf Warrior
I stated: "In one game against Trifecta I was able to set up in a way that denied him his last tile placement and his only cover was his own corridor placed between his assembly and my mushroom tangle in the center. There was no choice but to come out into the open and try to beat me down before I could shoot him down. The Wizards summons were integeral to victory as they tied him up and allowed me to tear up his hitters. Orc Warriors fell to Elf warriors at range and summons alike. There wasn't much left to him when he finally broke through my fodder and he had to contend with a healthy ryld, 2 HEBI, and an EW with 2 transpositions left. Game over".
I also stated: "I played a game yesterday where I dropped an LRD (I was playing against Malice LRD) before it even made a single melee attack. It based a HEBI by double moving 2 turns in a row. I then ran ryld up to swing for 15 and finished up all my elf warriors (being the last to activate in the turn). I then won the next init and got to do 2 more activations. I transposed out the HEBI with the EW and used that HEBI to finish off the LRD. Game over after that as my opponent had only one LRD with 100 hp and a drow wizard vs my whole warband".
What Does This Mean?
What we have found is that HEBI has the ability to punish CE for one of its primary weakness, low AC, more than anything has been able to before. The ability to throw out 30 damage a round or 60 a round with dual HEBI, at range sight with a high attack bonus, is extremely powerful. It denies CE's heavy hitters the ability to hit hard while being hit for large amounts of damage themselves. When teamed with abilities like the Inspiring Marshal's Grant Move Action to set up timely full attacks, Rylds Improved Initiative to dictate how the game progresses, and/or the Evermeet Wizards support spells, the HEBI can dominate many of the top tier bands.
The Future Metagame
Abberations just may have set off a chain reaction that will change the entire metagame. I predict that these things will occur:
1) Dual HEBI arises as the new "band to beat" as it can stop Trifecta, Trifecta clones, Dual LRD, and many similar bands.
2) LSD builds emerge as a potential counter to HEBI builds. Here is an example LSD band that synecdoche used to win a 200 point constructed tournament at Gencon SoCal:
Forward Turtle by Synecdoche
1 Large Silver Dragon
1 Cleric of Order
1 Formian Worker
1 Aramil
1 Mialee
1 Hill Dwarf Warrior
5 Man at Arms
This band was designed to take advantage of the Assault format's tile points rather then being a traditional "buff and beatdown" build. Whether or not LSDs "forward turtle" strategy can consistently counter HEBIs strengths remains to be seen as this matchup hasn't been tested much by anyone yet. Synecdoche did defeat a band dual HEBI band at that tourney:
Synechoche:"His band consists of two Half-Elf Bow Initiates, Cleric of Corelleon Larethon, Crow Shaman, a Greycloak Ranger (and wolf minion), and a handful of other archer types."
This was a Dual HEBI band but it didn't have any of the components I feel make it Tier 1. The obvious lack of Evermeet Wizard, Ryld, and/or Inspiring marshal probably led to this persons defeat.
3) With the removal of fire resistance in HEBI's defeat of Malice LRD and Trifecta, the patiently waiting Gauth gets his day in the sun. Here is a sample gauth band I devised that could hit LSD where it hurts by ignoring its super high AC/save and exploiting its vulnerability to fire:
3 Gauth
1 Urthok
8 Baaz Draconian
This band can put down 60 fire damage a round on an LSD. Baaz Draconians boost this band to 12 activations and can be used to clutter the field and make it hard for the large sized LSD to get to the gauth. Urthok lends his commander 5 to init and morale. Unfortunately for Gauth, HEBI bands have access to the Elf Pyromancer and Medium Fire Elemental (through Evermeet Wizards summon spells) to stop its fire rays.
4) Aspect of Loth bands make a rise. They will have their 15 minutes of fame but then it will be found that HEBI, and Gauth can handle these bands. But perhaps, with the help of the Orc Druid's Warp Wood spell, CE might have a chance to neuter HEBI builds. Here are two sample Aspect of Loth bands I devised as an example:
2 Aspect of Loth
1 Tiefling Captain
1 Abyssal Maw
8 Orc Warrior
1 Aspect of Loth
1 Drider Sorcerer
1 Tiefling Captain
1 Orc Druid
1 Cultist of the Dragon
3 Abyssal Maw
1 Orc Warrior
Dual HEBI bands packing Evermeet Wizard, Ryld Argith, and/or the Inspiring Marshal seem to be the winning combination. I suggest everyone start testing against these builds as they are quite possibly the new king of the hill.

"You dont want
to believe it. You have to pinch yourself. But if you really think
about it, we had an unbelievable run. The great thing about this
team is we know we can do it again next year."
Guy Carbonneau
like to see him play forever."
Ken Hitchcock
NHL players do not play for records like the one Carbonneau will probably break if he chooses to play one more post season in 2001. They play for one reason only: to win the Stanley Cup. When Guy was a small boy playing shinny with his brothers in Sept-Îles, not a one of them dreamed of the day he might be second in NHL history in career playoff games. And were you to ask Carbo if he were willing to exchange 23 playoff appearances for another Cup ring, he would say yes in a heartbeat, records be damned.
Nevertheless, from the viewpoint of a fan, its not impossible to look at it another way.
The Stanley Cup is precious not because its made of silver, but because its made of hockey games. Difficult hockey games. Games which push players to the brink of their stamina, press their tolerance for pain, demand the best they can give. Its possible to play two dozen such agonizing games, and to win fifteen of those hellish games, and still not have the currency required to purchase that Cup.
just how valuable it is.
Three years out of Carbonneaus 18 in the NHL, he and his teams came up with the currency. Does that mean the other 174 playoff games he played, including this years 23, went for naught? On the contrary, every one of them quickened the pulses of thousands, evoked roars of dismay or shouts of joy from all who watched, and added to the value of that years championship, regardless of who won it.
For the past two decades nearly every Stanley Cup was made up of a little bit of Guy Carbonneau. Not just those he won86, 93, 99but those he lost, which were a little harder for his opponent to win because he made it so.
So we Dallas
fans didbegrudginglygive up our Stanley Cup this year.
But well hang on to Carbonneaus last 23 playoff games,
thank you very much.

The NCAA's decision to deal with the Penn State matter was the right call. Here's why.
The NCAA needed to do something about Penn State, and the board of directors gave Mark Emmert broad authority to act.
Penn State had a difficult coaching search in ending up with Bill O'Brien, but out of touch former players are only making things worse.
Mark Richt's name is now being connected to the Penn State job. Is it wishful thinking from Nittany Lions, or is it negotiating leverage for Richt's extension at Georgia?
Alabama clears the hurdle against Penn State, but it was not an eye-popping win.
College coaches should try to help their players get to the NFL, but winning games is their top priority.
A conference championship game works well for the SEC, but it may not make sense for everyone.

I love baseball. And I
love baseball films. A few years ago I saw a seriously strange
film called
Battlefield Baseball
which combined baseball, horror and martial arts. It was insane, unlike any other
baseball film I�d seen. Director Yudai Yamaguchi�s sequel (well, sort of a sequel) to that film,
Dead Ball
, is also insane, but actually
a better film. It�s about a young pitcher named Jubeh (Tak Sakaguchi) who is arrested and
forced to play on the prison baseball team.
All Japanese pitchers
have odd wind-ups. But check out Jubeh�s wind-up at the beginning of the film.
His leg nearly touches his face. And then � unexpectedly � he flies off into
the air and hurls a ball down at his father, who is acting as catcher. The ball
catches fire, and hits his father in the head, causing his father to explode.
But before dying, his father compliments the pitch and tells him to take care
of his younger brother. By the way, flying off into space would seem to give
the pitcher an advantage, because the batter can�t see the ball�s release;
however, I do wonder if it might be easier to steal off a guy who launches off
the ground like that.
Jubeh consequently swears
off baseball. Instead, he becomes a criminal.
His father would be proud. Though apparently he�s only killing bad guys.
When he�s arrested, the prisoner in line behind him asks him to kill the bad
guy who lives in his head. That�s great. I do wonder why he�s allowed to wear
boots with spurs on them. But with this film, you just have to accept
everything and go with it.
The warden wants Jubeh to
be on the prison baseball team. And then in a musical montage we�re introduced
to the team. It�s completely silly. Jubeh actually sings the song and winks at
the camera (so yes, for a moment the film is a musical).
That is far from the
craziest thing in the film, however. Wait until you see the medical examination
of the players. Talk about your deep cavity search. And check out what they
find up in there. It�s bloody hilarious. The headmistress of the prison is the
granddaughter of a Nazi collaborator, a man she is clearly quite proud of.
Jubeh�s fight with the headmistress includes pens going through her head and a
fist coming through the phone. This movie revels in its over-the-top insanity.
The team is scheduled to
play a girl�s high school team from St. Black Dahlia High. Yes, seriously. Why
not? These girls are evil. Jubeh�s cell mate lists some of the atrocities
they�ve committed. The game itself is probably the least interesting portion of
the film. But there is a lot of crazy Nazi stuff going on too, as Nazis have
arrived to enjoy the game. So what more could you ask for? How about a Nazi
baseball robot with a special connection to Jubeh? A robot that decides
everyone must die.
Does the film make a lot
of sense? Absolutely not. But it�s really hard not to like this film. It�s
truly enjoyable and a lot of fun. Plus, it has an important message: Baseballs
are not murder weapons.
Special Features
This DVD has several
bonus features. The first,
Final Deadball
is a short film (approximately 21 minutes) that is a sort of companion piece to
the full-length feature. In this short, a ball player at the prison has a
premonition, so fakes illness and thus escapes death. He is released from
prison. And suddenly baseballs are appearing everywhere, flying out of his
food, flying out of street lights, and each time missing him and causing the
death of someone else. He should have died in the ball game, so now death is
following him. It�s totally a rip-off of
� and seemingly unabashedly, as per its
title. Sadly, it�s not very good.
The second bonus features
Making Of Dead Ball
12 minutes), with lots of behind-the-scenes footage, but no interviews or
anything like that. The interviews are presented separately in
Cast Interviews
, in which six cast
members talk about the script and their characters and the director.
The DVD also includes the film�s trailer (as
well as trailers for several other films).
Dead Ball
is scheduled to be released on Blu-ray and DVD on April
9, 2013 through Sushi Typhoon and Well Go USA Entertainment.

The youngest son of late N. Korean leader Kim Jong Il was called a "great successor" by Korea's state news agency KCNA, in what is believed to be the first real signal of things to come, reports msn.com. He is reported to be a "Great successor to the revolutionary cause of Juche and outstanding leader of our party, army and people". Juche is what they call their home ground political ideology of self reliance. There were rumors as early as a couple of years ago, than when Kim died his successor would likely be his youngest son. Even though some believe he is still a Kid, it seems as no surprise, at least to us, that he is already being mentioned as the next great leader.
Not much is known about the kid, even at this stage of the situation; there doesn't seem to be any indication as weather he was being groomed to be the next headman of his country. He's already a General and has had an important political diplomatic visit with China. Jong Un presented himself to the destitute North's main benefactor. The media already called him the "young general". He is well studied though, knowing at least three languages (English, German, and his native Korean). It is said that if he ever fulfills what seems to be his imminent destiny, he will govern in the same militaristic path his father was embarking.
Last year there were signs of things to come when Kim gave his young son a prominent political post and officially blessed as the leader in waiting. The problem lies in what is known of the young son of the great leader, his mother is believed to be a japanese professor who's status with Kim was never fully known. Was she his wife at the time young Jong was conceived? There aren't many indicators of what kind of person or background Jong Un has, but the bigger problem lies in the perception Koreans have of a youngster taking the throne in a society which values eldership. Let's see what this brings the following days.

The Shorewood Coin Shop is a mainstay on North Oakland Avenue.
As the busy thoroughfare has grown and developed, especially over the past couple years, the shop, which specializes in rare coins and currency, has been a steady presence at 4409 N. Oakland Ave. since 1974.
"I had an interest in coin collecting from when I was a kid and my friend bought the place and I thought I would help him out," said Scott Gunter, who went on to take over as owner in 2000.
The store buys, sells and trades precious metals, jewelry, rare coins, collectibles, antiques and postcards. The walls are lined with one-of-a-kind wares from $2 bills to age-old books.
Gunther said being in the business for so long, he's seen his share of unique items.
"There's so much — especially lately we have seen a lot of cool stuff," he said. "I very seldom say 'wow' anymore after doing this for so many years."
With the store stocked with interesting pieces, Gunther said he draws a very diverse clientele.
"We have collectors coming in as young as 2 years old up into the 90s," he said.
Interested in having an item priced? When a customer brings in an item, Gunter said he relies on a massive library of pricing books, computer research and his years of experience.
"Bring it in, we take a look at it, and make an offer," he said.
The store is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

NEW CASTLE — Lawrence County property owners will see their taxes rise by nearly 7 percent in 2014.
The Lawrence County commissioners approved a budget for the new year Tuesday that includes a 0.435-mill tax hike. That will increase property taxes in the county by just less than 7 percent.
For the average homeowner with an assessed property value of $78,000, the increase will mean an additional $36 in county taxes in the new year.
The tax increase will help to fund the 2014 county budget, which is $29.1 million.
Look for more details in Wednesday's edition of the New Castle News.

Welcome to the Gardenia care guide and Gardenia care tips site! Are you having problems caring for you Gardenia? For years I like so many others struggled to grow Gardenia with little or no success at all. I'd almost given up trying to grow this beautiful plant but through reading, researching, perseverance and many many conversations with my expert uncle and other successful growers, I now know I've finally cracked it!
With the gardenia care tips and advice that I've been given and have amassed over the years, I have now grow some really stunningly beautiful Gardenias that really are the envy of my neighbors, street and town. I'm always getting comments, praise and questions from my neighbors and work colleagues on Gardenia care and so rather then repeat myself all the time, I decided to write it down and hence the Gardenia care guide was born. What I'm going to do is share my accumulated knowledge, success stories and some of the disasters with you so you may improve your Gardenia care knowledge so that you too can be the envy of your gardening friends.
I've always loved Gardenia's and Gardenia flowers … I remember them from my childhood and the scent of the Gardenia flowers has always reminded me of the garden of the house in which I grew up in and spent so many happy years with my family. So naturally when I was finally lucky enough to own my own home and a garden, one of the first plants I bought was a Gardenia. But sadly my Gardenia care knowledge was severely lacking and the results did not match my childhood memories or aspirations.
Gardenia Care Is Not Easy!
It's been said many times before that a Gardenia is a complicated plant and it truly is! Gardenia plants grow in a very specific band of pH and moisture levels and will punish you if you fail to keep within these boundaries. Problems like 'yellow leaves' are very common and can be the result of various causes. However help is at hand – by following the steps and tips within the Gardenia Care guide I hope to guide you through pitfalls of growing gardenias so that you too may enjoy the blooms of these beautiful plants.

Assistant Professor of Art
Art historian focusing on cross-cultural connections in the ancient Mediterranean
One misconception about conducting researching around the Mediterranean is that the weather will always be nice. In fact, snow does fall in Morocco, and, on deceptively beautiful springtime days in Provence, the fierce Mistral wind can freeze your fingers numb. Visiting these regions is, nonetheless, the best way to study the ancient Roman world. Rome itself constituted only a small part of an empire stretching from Britain to Tunisia and from Morocco to Iraq. Traditionally, however, this one city has dominated Roman Studies. In my research and teaching, I aim to bring provincial communities into sharper focus and to re-envision the empire from their perspective.
Many of my research ideas come from the classroom, and I take pleasure in introducing students to a broad range of ancient cultures. My lecture courses on Roman, Greek, Celtic, Etruscan, and Near Eastern art and architecture emphasize cross-cultural exchange. My advanced seminars often cut across regional boundaries. Ancient Palaces and Villas (Arth 302), for example, develops a comparative analysis of Persian, Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman royal art and architecture. Antiquities Today (Arth 373), constructs an historical frame around current repatriation, conservation, and acquisition debates. For all of these courses, I plan field trips to local museums and rare book collections, including Wellesley's Davis Museum and Clapp Library Special Collections, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. On campus, I hold class outside at the Greek Theater as often as possible.
Most recently, I joined my colleagues Bryan Burns and Lisa Fischman in curating Festina Lente: Conserving Antiquity. This Spring 2013 exhibit brought nearly 200 Greek and Roman artworks out of storage in order to inaugurate a new era of research and conservation of the Davis Museum's permanent antiquities collection. At the College Art Association's annual conference in New York this past spring, I co-chaired a session of papers focused on rethinking the canon of Roman Art History in light of recent excavations. I have especially enjoyed participating in the Getty's three-year "Arts of Rome's Provinces" traveling seminar, which has held sessions in Britain (2011), Greece (2012), and the Getty Villa (2013). During the 2013-2014 academic year, I will be a research fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where I aim to complete my book manuscript entitled Resilient Esthetics: Classical Encounters in Celtic France and Britain, 200 BCE-200 CE.

A Passion For Music
I was exposed to a very wide range of music at a very young age, from 50s and 60s rock from my dad, to 60s and 70s R&B and disco likings from my mom, while my sister rounded out with groups from Queen to Prince. Growing up I listened to a wide variety of music and to this day there are few songs I don't enjoy listening to, from the obscure to the latest releases.
It's this passion that I bring to your wedding. Knowing what music to play, knowing what the crowd wants to hear, knowing that songs from totally different genres and years can seamlessly intertwine with each other. Some DJs just fade music in and out, I find those songs with common threads and transition in a way that makes you say "Damn! How did he do that?" You can sample some of this on my mixtape blog.
Dates fill up quickly. Fill out this short form and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

COMMENTARY | Following a very brief playoff run that ended at the hands of the New York Knicks, Danny Ainge will have a lot of work to do this offseason in deciding the direction of the Boston Celtics. Much of this is in the hands of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce; if they both come back, Ainge's track record suggests that this group has one more shot. On the other hand, retirement likely means a huge overhaul of the roster.
Rebuilding is the direction where this organization needs to go; they can no longer compete with the league's elite, and another title run simply isn't in the cards. Thinking long-term begins with an assessment of Rajon Rondo, and whether he can be the team's building block.
At times, Rondo has flashed greatness on the biggest stages. He racks up massive assist totals, and always plays his best on nationally televised games and playoff games. Many might only get to watch him play a few times per year, where he is often brilliant. From these impressions, you would think that Rondo is undoubtedly a franchise player.
However, when you look at his entire body of work and dig a little deeper, the doubt creeps in.
Rajon Rondo's complacency and inconsistency is alarming for someone who has already played 7 seasons in the league. It is true that the Celtics go as Rondo goes, in both the big games and the smaller, regular season ones. He often looks extremely flat and uninterested during the regular season, where his team follows his lead. It should be noted that this is on a team with strong veterans such as Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce; can you imagine what this would be like if he, all of the sudden, became the veteran on a team full of youngsters?
Rondo is still a poor shooter, a part of his game that hasn't improved much after 7 years. It's awfully hard to build your future around a point guard who allows defenders to play several feet off of him, daring him to shoot. Additionally, he has never shot better than 65% from the line over the course of a season.
Then, there's his personality. Rondo has always been strong minded, for better or for worse. It would be awfully tough to trust him to be on his best behavior if Ainge decides to stock the roster with young players who would be viewing Rondo as their leader.
There is no doubt that Rajon Rondo would be an extremely valuable piece to any team. However, there is a lot of doubt that he can be "the guy" that the Celtics could trust to lead a rebuilding effort. Danny Ainge needs to poke around and see what Rondo's value is around the league. If he can draft picks and a couple of young pieces, he has to seriously consider ending the Rajon Rondo era in Boston.
Mark lives in the Boston area and has been covering the Celtics for 3 years. He has been featured on Fox Sports Yardbarker, Fox Sports, and Sports Illustrated "Hot Clicks", and has been published on Celtics 24/7, Bleacher Report, and Sports-Kings.

Tulle Ball Gown with Lace-Up Back and Side Swags Style WG3403 48 48
Cinderella. Although i didn't say yes to this dress i almost did. It was between this dress and another dress and because i was having an outdoor wedding i didn't think this dress fit it too much but this dress is AMAZING. The picture on here doesn't do it any justice! They say to try a dress on that you don't think you would wear and although i love the puffy dresses i thought because of my height (5'2) i wouldn't look right but that was NOT true at all. It made me look like a princess i felt amazing. It's perfect! Go to the store and try it on! February 4, 2013
AMAZING! This dress is absolutely beautiful! I tried on quite a lot of dresses, but this one always stuck in the back of my mind. So, I went with it and I am so glad I did! As others have said, the pictures do not do it any justice. It fits perfectly, and makes me feel like a princess. I am so excited to wear it at my wedding in March! January 26, 2013
Thee One After going to countless bridal shops looking for the perfect dress..I found this one at David's. I am very particular and very indecisive, but when I put this dress on I couldn't stop smiling. The way the top fits is very flattering. The side swags give it that princess look and the lace appliques add romance and a touch of vintage to it. It also has sequins that make the dress shimmer. It's perfect! January 8, 2013
Love it! After looking at pictures online, I put this dress on the 'try on' list towards the bottom. It was so much more lovely than anything else I tried! I am a size 6 and any size from 4 to 8 fit great without alterations due to the lace up back. I was able to purchase this dress used in perfect shape online for half price and couldn't be happier. I plan on reselling too so another bride can afford this gorgeous dress and be as excited as I am. December 30, 2012

Performer Lisa Ann Provides Statement Of Information On Male Performer Hepatitis C Allegations
Official Press Statement from Lisa Ann
NEW YORK, NY – Tony Batman's A Entertainment News-Performer Lisa Ann provides an Official Statement in regards to her allegation of a male performer testing positive for Hepatitis C.
LATATA, and anyone else, imply that I did not have the information I needed to make such claims, but can they prove me wrong? If so, I would be thrilled. Thrilled to know no one in the industry I love so much is sick. That is not what anyone wants, for anyone in the industry.
You are correct in that I am not privy to the information of someone else's health records. However, I am privy to common sense; I am willing to apply that common sense to satisfy my own research, and to protect myself and the health and well being of MY business.
When I was asked to work with Alex Gonz, I requested and received a copy of his test on my phone, and noticed that the test was from a facility neither TTS nor CET. Since Alex is represented by Derek Hay of LA Direct Models, my first phone call was to him. I asked Derek some important questions; the first question was "Derek, do you let YOUR talent work with performers who have tests that are NOT from CET or TTS?" Derek's reply was "NO". I then asked why he would have one of the male performers, who he represents through his agency, listed as ACTIVE on his site, testing at Lab Corp and not through TTS or CET.
Derek tried to deny it, but he then mentioned there was an issue about the non-industry-approved test on another set, but he wasn't sure of the details.
NOW I CALL BULLSHIT on Derek's response to me regarding Alex Gonz and his test. Derek knows every detail of what happens on every set he send his performers to, because that's how he watches his money and conducts his business. So, Derek – please don't try to pull that with me. I have been in the business longer than you, and by the looks of how this is playing out, I will be in the business a lot longer than you too.
For those of you who have read the Official Statement from Derek on XBIZ, he states the industry does NOT require a clean Hepatitis test in order to shoot.
Derek – thank you for admitting you knew about this "loophole." You came clean in your own, roundabout way. Since, as you admit, the Industry doesn't require a clean Hepatitis test, you basically admitted you and LA Direct Models will keep Alex Gonz on your site as "Available To Work" in sex scenes regardless of a positive Hepatitis C test result.
What the industry needs is for those, like Derek, who are more worried about money than the health of the industry, to get shut down. If you are an agent who allows your talent to go to set with a non-industry-approved STD test, then you are a danger to the industry, and you need to be shut down.
If you say it is ok for your performers to work with a positive Hepatitis C test result because the "industry doesn't require you" to be clean of Hepatitis C, Derek – you are a sicker motherfucker than even I ever imagined. You're already the largest illegal PIMP in this industry, pushing your girls to escort and perform in unsafe situations off set. Now you want ALL of us to be unsafe on set as well with these recent statements.
Lest anyone forget, I worked at LA Direct Models for a year. I learned a LOT during that year. I have enough information to do what ever I need, but that would do nothing for me.
However, protecting this business does EVERYTHING for me.
Thank you,
Posted on www.AentertainmentNews.com & www.PlanetPlatypus.com

Naomi Watts Refused To Cut Her Hair For 'Diana' Role
January 4th, 2013 2:14pm EST
Actress Naomi Watts opted to wear a wig to portray Diana, Princess Of Wales in an upcoming movie because she wasn't "brave enough" to cut her long hair for the role.
The "King Kong" star plays the lead in Oliver Hirschbiegel's upcoming drama Diana, which focuses on the last two years of the British royal's life before she died in a car crash in Paris, France in 1997.
Watts was photographed in character throughout the shoot, but she reveals the short bob she sported to portray the late princess was not her real hair.
She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I loved wearing a wig to play Princess Diana in Diana. Changing my hair for roles is liberating, even if it's not always a look I'd go for."
"That style was emblematic of the time, but I'm not brave enough to go that short."
Diana is due for release later this year.

Eligibility For FSGLI Coverage
Family SGLI (FSGLI) coverage provides life insurance coverage for the spouses and dependent children of all servicemembers (Active Duty and Ready Reserve) who have full-time SGLI coverage. A dependent child includes the following:
- natural born child
- legally adopted child
- stepchild who is a member of the servicemembers household
- child between the ages of 18 and 23 who is a full-time student
- child who is permanently incapable of self-support before age 18
Spousal Coverage
Spousal coverage is a maximum of $100,000 and can be in lesser amounts in increments of $10,000. However, spousal coverage cannot exceed the servicemembers level of SGLI coverage.
Example: If the servicemembers coverage is for any level of coverage between $250,000 and $100,000, then the spousal coverage can be as high as $100,000. If the servicemembers coverage is $90,000 to $10,000, then the spousal coverage can be no more than the servicemembers level of coverage.
Sevicemembers married to servicemembers can be covered under both their own members SGLI for $250,000 and their spouses FSGLI for $100,000 for a maximum combined coverage of $350,000.
Dependent Child Coverage
Dependent child coverage is the set amount of $10,000 for each dependent child.
Automatic Coverage
FSGLI coverage begins automatically for servicemembers who:
- were married when the program began on November 1, 2001
- enter service and are married/has dependent children OR
- get married/gain a dependent child during service AND
- have full-time SGLI coverage
Spousal coverage is automatically at the maximum level of $100,000 or the servicemembers SGLI coverage level, if it is less than $100,000.
Automatic coverage begins with the following events:
- the date of induction into service
- the date of a marriage while in service (after Nov. 1, 2001)
- the date a child becomes a dependent (i.e. date of birth, date of adoption, date entered the household)
FSGLI Premiums
The servicemember pays premiums for the spousal coverage. The dependent child coverage is free.
Premiums for spousal coverage are due the month of the event that causes coverage to occur (e.g. Nov 1, 2001, induction of the servicemember into service or the date of a marriage while in service). If the member does not notify the service of his/her marriage, premiums for spousal coverage are still due and will be collected retroactively.
For Army, Navy and Air Force, the collection of FSGLI premiums is based upon the spouse and the spouses birth date being registered in DEERS. If the spouse is not registered in DEERS, premiums will not be withheld from the servicemembers pay. (Servicemembers married to servicmembers must register each other as a spouse in their respective DEERS records.)
Unlike servicemembers SGLI premiums that are one premium rate for all members, spousal premiums are based on age brackets. When a spouse moves to a new age bracket, the new higher premium begins the first day of the month following the birth month. (See Appendix B for the premium rates for the spousal age brackets.)

1314. It came out on Magnum 4D Draw 048/04 just now. I hardly ever
buy lottery tickets. Yesterday afternoon, I was going to get a Foochow
big pau (RM 2) for lunch and I only had RM 50 denomination notes and
they didn't have change. The memory of the last time I bought 4D from
the accident was still fresh and the Magnum 4D outlet was just a little
down from there, so I decided to get change there, and got a number
just for fun.
1374. I figured it was an appropriate number because I was depressed
and thinking about the utter pointlessness of life. 1374 pronounces as
"once born, go die" (literal translation) in Mandarin – it fitted my
mindset because that's what life's about. We get born, we live through
our meaningless lease on earth, and death awaits us at the end. I was
hoping it would be sooner than later, due to my personal problems which
I would not like to talk about but you can all probably figure out
(it's related to veritas).
Anyway, I went back with change and bought my big pau for lunch.
Walking past the outlet, I realized that there was an even better
number – 1314. It would translate as "one birth, one death" – a rather
Zen like approach to life…we live, we die. Until then, we take what
we can from the offerings of this world. I started to walk into the
Magnum 4D outlet with the full intention of buying that number, I shit
you not, I really stepped in with the FULL INTENT to get that number -
when I saw one of my coworkers walking past.
I did not want to be associated with these activities, since I do
not gamble. That is not my vice, my vice is drugs, so I immediately
walked out again to avoid being seen at this venue. Anyway, I was
posting today and remembered the 4D slip that I got and vaguely
remembered that the draw was opening at 7 PM today – it was the live
results draw on their website and I saw 1314 come out as the "Special
Prize" number, which nets RM 200.
Results from Magnum 4D website [magnum4d.com].
I was elated! RM 200 would give me a free return ticket back to Sibu
during the long Labor Day holidays! RM 200 would get me a "stick"
(about 500 mg) of methamphetamine crystals, with RM 20 left to donate
to the nice auntie who explained the semantics of this game to me! The
possibilities! It's a small amount, no doubt, but to win by just very
casual buying (I think this is the third time in 4 years?) would be
incredibly lucky and I jumped up in elation when that number came out.
I checked my slip…it was 1374. I forgot. I didn't go in to get
1314 because I didn't want to be associated with this (which is
strange, since I don't mind being associated with drug use). Fuck! The
sheer elation…and then the letdown. The disappointment at what could
have been mine. Not could have, it's WOULD HAVE. I had the full intent of getting that number. My girlfriend says it's not meant to be.
I fully agree. I swear that I'll never let Magnum 4D get RM 1.10 from my pockets again. Pffftttt…
I don't care now though, I get over things very quickly. :)

America Lags Behind on Equal Rights for LGBT Community
by The Opportunity Agenda, Fri Jul 30, 2010 at 03:01:19 PM EDT
While Americans grappled over the military's contentious "don't ask, don't tell" policy in court last week, the Argentine Senate passed a bill last Thursday legalizing gay marriage and allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.
Arguments for and against the don't ask, don't tell policy regarding LGBT members' service in the military, began last week Tuesday in a California federal court. The original lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the rule was filed in 2004 by the Log Cabin Republicans – a Republican group that supports gay rights.

Jesse James, the tattoo loving, cheating former husband of Sandra Bullock just can't get a break. First, he totally got caught sleeping with a tattooed stripper, and then he got caught cheating with more ladies. Oh, then photos surfaced of him in a Nazi hat in the Spring. And just yesterday, he got caught in a photo with another dude wearing a hat with a jaunty Hitler salute. Man, it's such a bummer when C-list celebrities' own stupidity keeps haunting them!
Now the History Channel will soon be airing an episode of Jesse James Blacksmith where he travels to Israel to learn the "world's greatest blacksmith," who also happens to be Jewish. This is either really bad – or really good timing.
According to Jesse James' friends, he just really into "History." But Dr. Gilda, our favorite celebrity relationship expert, isn't buying it. She says those photos of Jesse with Nazi memorabilia can "tell us a lot about who this man is." And what they tell us is not good. More

SEATTLE (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers have sent injured utility player Brandon Inge to Triple-A Toledo begin a rehabilitation assignment.
The team announced the move Sunday in Seattle, where the Tigers are playing the Mariners.

Holy Land Tours

Many Christians traveling on a Holy Land tour are so busy being shuttled on and off buses they often miss the unique experiences and special sites revered by locals and seasoned travelers alike.
The area around
Mt. Tabor
is a perfect example.
With its fantastic views and important Franciscan and Greek Orthodox shrines situated at its summit over 500 meters above sea level, Mt. Tabor is considered a 'must see' site for Christians coming on a Holy Land pilgrimage seeking to visit the site where many believe Jesus was transfigured as he spoke to Moses and Elijah in the presence of three of his disciples (Luke 9:28-36).
However, what first time tour leaders and many travelers don't often know is that the brief visit to the shrines at the top of Mount Tabor can eat up at least 2 hours or more. Why? Because tour buses are not allowed to travel up the narrow road to the peak and passengers must disembark at the bottom and be shuttled up by eager taxi drivers waiting for the next fare. Should you be there when it is busy, this procedure can take a significant amount of time. Factor in the obligatory shopping experience on site (you'll get a taxi faster if you buy more) the visit can extend to a few hours.
So, perhaps you are interested in an alternative?
What to see around Mt. Tabor
The area surrounding Mt. Tabor has much to offer and is revered by locals for its many sites, geography, culture, wine and more.
The nearby village of
Kfar Tabor
is a small agricultural moshav (community) just five minutes from Mount Tabor, founded in 1901 by 28 farming families with the support of Baron Rothschild, the great philanthropist who helped found a number of pre-state communities, including Rosh Pina, Zichron Yaacov and others. For years the small village was home to the Hashomer movement and a small museum in the village traces this movement and its early participants. The museum documents the residents realized a dream and created a homeland.
Kfar Tabor Museum - (04) 676-5844
Tabor Winery
is situated in Kfar Tabor and offers a story of rebirth. Kfar Tavor's farmers for years grew grapes for the wineries of Israel in the hopes that one day they might have their own production facility. The dream finally came true in 1999 when a few families decided to create their own winery. Their wine became quickly successful and now produces 1.5 million bottles. The winery offers on site visits and wine tasting while the adjacent
Marzipan museum
includes a film depicting the marzipan - making process. Visitors can enjoy the unique display of marzipan on premises as well as the adjacent store. Marzipan workshops, suitable for all ages are also available.
Kfar Tabor Winery - Open Sunday through Thursday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
Tel 04-6760444
Marzipan Museum Visiting hours: Sun - Thu 09:00 - 17:00 Fridays and holiday eves 09:00 - 16:00 Saturday & holidays 10:00 - 17:00 Tel: 04/677-2111;
Next to Kfar Tabor is the
Circassian community of Kfar Cama
, which is a worthy stop for travelers. The Circassian Museum is situated in a traditional basalt home and offers insight into their unique culture including their traditions and lifestyle and their contributions to the state of Israel. A village tour can include wonderful lunch hospitality as well as a tour of the historic homes and stories of the original settlers. . Unlike other Moslems, the Circassians serve in Israel's Defense Forces. Originally Christians, they converted to Islam when they encountered the Tatars and Turks along the silk route. Their original name, however, is Adigai, which means noble. The Circassians were exiled to Ottoman Turkish areas after the war against the Russian Empire.
Kfar Cama - For tours of the Circassian Museum, Kfar Kama and special
Circassian cultural events
At the village of Shibli, located at the base of Mount Tabor, you'll find a very modest but charming
Center of Bedouin Heritage
(tel. 04/676-7875). It's open Saturday to Thursday from 9am to 5pm; admission is NIS 12 ($3/£1.50).
Kibbutz Ein Dor
is the site of the Biblical town of Ein Dor, and consequently a lot of ancient activity occurred there. The kibbutz's archaeology museum displays significant pre-historic findings alongside many changing exhibitions and activities, ancient handicrafts which passed from the world, creation in natural materials, and more. Much of the exhibition is suitable for children as well as adults.

If the biblical foods grown in Israel are of interest the area of Mt. Tabor is rich in agriculture. Reuven Birgir is one of Israel's foremost experts in growing olive and almond trees, and a key figure in Israels olive oil industry. In his farm in Kfar Kish, adjacent to Kfar Tabor, he grows olives, almonds and wine grapes.

Walking along the Gospel Trail to Mt. Tabor
For interested walkers, the Gospel Trail runs 62 kilometers from Mt. of Precipice to
and travels by Mt. Tabor. Those that wish can take the side trail to the summit reachable by the 4,300 steps that were carved in the 4th century for Christian pilgrims. For more on walking the trail

What's new at the Q?
Last week we had a great Creepy Critter program. We got to listen to Madagascar hissing cockroaches hiss. They're actually fairly loud. We saw a huge lizard called an Argentine black and white tegu as well as a Burmese python.
If you missed our Animal Tales program, you missed a great show. You're in luck though, because they will be back in May to kick off our summer reading program.
In 2014, Eastern Oklahoma District Library System will participate in a statewide initiative designed to promote the reading of the Charles Portis novel "True Grit." One of the activities will be a "True Grit" Photography Contest.
We are working on a plan to offer a photography program to encourage the people of Fort Gibson to enter the contest. More information will be available soon.
Thursday morning at our normal story time we will be having a party. Story time is at 10 a.m. and is open to all children from infants to 4-year-olds.
Children are welcome to come dressed in costume if they would like.
Don't forget, we have a teen program every Tuesday at 4 p.m. and an after-school activity for elementary kids every Thursday at 4 p.m.
We are anxiously awaiting the release of the second "Hunger Games" movie, "Catching Fire," on Nov. 22.
We have several copies of the books and an audiobook, so if you have not read the books, now is the time to check out a copy.
If you go
WHAT: Q.B. Boydstun Library.
WHERE: 201 E. South Ave.
WHEN: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
