Back in September, Escape Studios and The Foundry joined forces to run a series of free MARI tutorials. To start with, there were two training programmes on offer, but due to an overwhelming demand we scheduled in a third. The aim for the tuition was to introduce professional artists working in the industry to some key features available in MARI, that are fast becoming an integral part of the modern pipeline.
Davi Stein Goes to VES Screening of Captain America
I had the priviledge to see a VES (Visual Effects Society) screening of the film "Captain America: The First Avenger" a few weeks ago, which was held at Framestore. Afterwards Framestore and Double Negative talked a bit about their involvement on some effects shots.
News Round-Up: Monday 7th Nov 2011
The more obsevant among you will have noticed that I didn't publish my round up for a couple of weeks - apologies for this, but I decided it was time to take a well deserved holiday. Still, I am back now, and here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of News, with stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
IKinema Wins CGW Silver Edge Award at SIGGRAPH 2011
SIGGRAPH is the worlds leading conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques. Each year they welcome thousands of artists, research scientists, gaming experts and developers, filmmakers, students and academics to Vancouver from 74 countries around the world.
Join The MARI Massive
Are you a MARI user or have an interest in MARI, then you may be keen to know that a group of artists are getting together on November 24th in London, Soho for a few beers. The venue is currently top sectret but will be released soon.
Mingle and network with fellow MARI users over a drink. There are a few special gifts up for grabs too.
I've also heard that some of the MARI engineers should be attending, which is a great opportunity to ask those all important questions! Should be quite a geek fest.
The Electric Theatre Collective; New VFX Facility Now Open In Soho
There is a new VFX facility in town to have recently opened their doors for business. They are a trio of young visual effects professionals who have proven talents across a range of high profile projects both in the UK and US. This company is the Electric Theatre Collective, and we would like to congratulate them on a very impressive start up. We believe these guys are destined for great things as they venture into the sometimes uncertain territory of running their own facility and build a strong foundation around the name Electric Theatre. We wish Giles Cheetham, James Sindle, Daniel Stanhope Marum and their team every success in the years to come.
KATANA Demo at NAB 2011
Check out this KATANA Demo by Andy Lomas (Product Manager for KATANA at The Foundry) at NAB 2011 earlier this year, prior to yesterday's version 1.0 release.
KATANA 1.0 Release: Andy Lomas Q&A
Yesterday afternoon The Foundry announced the release of KATANA 1.0, the much anticipated look development and lighting tool. In addition to this, The Foundry also shared the news that Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a Lucasfilm Company, have purchased a licence of this latest version with the hope to boost their production pipeline across their ILM and Lucasfilm companies.
Autodesk Softimage UGM This November
A Softimage UGM in the UK has been a long time coming, something that Autodesk are very aware of. So, we've partnered up with Autodesk to make it happen. We are delighted to announce that Jason "Chinny" Brynford-Jones, Softimage product manager and demonstration guru, is making the trip to London to chair this meeting. It certainly wouldn't be the same without him. A blast from the past for some of you, "Chinny" has been with the Softimage family for 15 years. He started out as a demonstrator in London and has since gained a reputation as being the cheerful face of Autodesk Softimage. He has been working in Product Management for the last 8 years and is now a Technical Product Manager at Autodesk in Montreal.

MARI vs Photoshop Webinar… Coming soon!
There's a new tool on the market that is taking the industry by storm. MARI is the magnificently user friendly 3D paint package that lets an artist spend more time painting and less time battling tech issues. It offers a great many solutions that until now have been missing from comparable applications. Photoshop continues to be an invaluable tool to compositors and motion graphic artists, but MARI has the time saving functionality currently missing.

News Round-Up: Monday 17th Oct 2011
Here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of News, with stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
The Foundry and Escape Studios UK Tour
The UK has a flourishing VFX industry that is attracting business from all over the world. In terms of film production in this country, we're securing huge business. The standard of work being produced here is world class, and it's impressive to see how this industry is flourishing right across the United Kingdom. For those of us who work in London, sometimes we risk embracing the city as being the centre of the universe, paying far too much attention to what's going on locally, rather than what's happening countrywide. Granted Soho is a hub for post-production, but if we were to look beyond the M25 and further North, East or West, we would find an amazing number of talented companies working on some fantastic projects.
Keeping Creativity & Your Animations Alive
One of the most entertaining parts of the Character Animation course that I teach at Escape studios is the lesson where the students invent, design and pitch an original animated character to myself and the rest of the class. The purpose of the exercise is to get students thinking not just about the technical side of character motion and action but also to think inventively and creatively. Can we invent characters as well as animate them? The visual effects industry is often demanding in terms of time and energy, and one of the best antidotes to the problem of "burn out" is to keep the creative spirit alive. After all, we all went into the arts to invent and create, not just to polish other people's ideas.
Mimicking Tilt-Shift in AfterEffects
My cousin - David Itzcovitz - went to Israel last month and he took a series of photos, which he then processed to give this strange look. The process he mimicked in After Effects is called tilt-shift and is usually achieved by using a tilt-shift lens (lensbaby). This puts the focal plane at a strange angle to the film and as a result, you get this strange depth of field effect which makes big things seem like miniatures.
News Round-Up: Monday 10th Oct 2011
Here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of News, with stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
CVMP - Last Call for Short Papers
It seems there is an abundance of technology conferences to choose from this year. For fellow technology enthusiasts out there, this is an exciting time, as we are treated to an ocean of updates, new releases and ground breaking developments. One conference we give a particular seal of approval to is the much anticipated CVMP (Conference for Visual Media Production), now in its 8th year running. This is a conference dedicated to the geeks of the visual media production industries, whether that is in film, broadcast or games.
News Round-Up: Monday 3rd Oct 2011

Just wondering if any one else saw this and thought it was as bad as I did. Been awhile since I can say I really disliked a movie I paid for. Was hoping for some sort of lord of the rings type movie. However it does not come anywhere close. If you were thinking of going to see this I would avoid it. If you have small children then it might be a good one for them.
My girlfriend and I at least got a good laugh out of it.

Frequently Asked Questions for XBMC running under Linux-based operating systems.
1 General FAQ
- See also: XBMC all platforms FAQ for FAQs that apply to all versions of XBMC.
1.1 Supported Linux distributions
- Team XBMC provides precompiled binaries for Ubuntu from the Team XBMC PPA. In the future there will also be precompiled binaries for Debian and Steam OS.
- Team XBMC recognizes OpenELEC versions of XBMC as "pretty damn awesome".
- Generally speaking, as long as XBMC is compiled per recommended guidelines (see HOW-TO:Compile XBMC for Linux), those builds are considered "kosher".
- XBMC builds that use external ffmpeg/libav are not supported and are strongly discouraged.
1.2 Supported hardware
For x86 hardware:

1.3 How to install or update XBMC for Linux
Main pages: HOW-TO:Install XBMC for Linux and XBMCbuntu
For an easy to use fresh installation of both XBMC and OS you can use XBMCbuntu. XBMCbuntu can be installed from a DVD or USB thumb drive.
- Ubuntu
The XBMC repositories are as follows:

2.1 Getting more help with XBMC for Linux
- XBMC for Linux specific help forum
- #xbmc and #xbmc-linux IRC chat channels on irc.freenode.org.
2.2 Userdata folder and logs
- Main pages: Userdata folder and Debug log
2.3 Audio issues
- For most audio issues, including configuration examples, see Audio and Audio troubleshooting.
2.4 Video tearing on Nvidia GPUs
- When XBMC is used with Nvidia hardware, tearing will occur when the X composite extension is used.
- Solution 1: Enable "Unredirect Fullscreen Window" in Compiz Config Settings Manager. [1]
- Install CCSM (Compiz Config Settings Manager):
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
- Open Compiz Config Settings Manager
- Check the option "Unredirect Fullscreen Window", which should be under the "Composite" section.
- Install CCSM (Compiz Config Settings Manager):
- Solution 1: Enable "Unredirect Fullscreen Window" in Compiz Config Settings Manager. [1]
- Solution 2: Disable the composite extension.
- 1. Add this to the end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf: (make a new file if xorg.conf doesn't exist)
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
- 2. Then log in with a gnome classic session (without the composite extension compiz doesn't work).
- 3. Also make sure to set Vertical blank sync to Always enabled in XBMC.
- Solution 3: Disable the use of the SDL backing store - this is a bug in Ubuntu which will probably be fixed in due time but could cause tearing right now: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450593/how-do-i-eliminate-screen-tearing-on-14-04-and-xbmc-with-nvidia-331/450673#450673
2.5 Why can't I update XBMC on Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10, or other release?
- The precompiled binaries from the Team XBMC PPA only work with Ubuntu releases that are still getting support. When Ubuntu drops support for a version then our PPA stops making a binary for it. Simply update Ubuntu itself and then XBMC updates should work again. If you don't want to update Ubuntu that often then we recommend using a long term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu, such as 14.04, which will be supported until 2019.

McCarthy enjoys Wolves recovery
22 Aug 2010 - 11:49:34
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy was pleased to see his side recover from a poor first half to secure a 1-1 draw at Everton.
Having fallen behind just before the interval, the visitors at Goodison Park responded well after the restart and eventually equalised 15 minutes from time through Sylvan Ebanks-Blake .
McCarthy told the club's official website: "We were poor in the first half, abject actually, but we held on until the 43rd minute.
"I'll take responsibility for that, because I set the team up and was tinkering with it.
"We were trying to stop them playing in a certain way and the reality is that we weren't up the pitch and getting in their faces and actually stopping them playing.
"I tried to change a few things around and it didn't work, but we addressed it in the second half.
"I didn't make any subs at half time - I told the players I thought they were the best outfield ten to play before the game and wanted them to show me that was the case.
"We got up the pitch, stopped them playing and I thought fully deserved the point we got in the end."

A new Blogging Theme to help me focus: Way Back Wednesday will zero in on end-of-line ancestors - and, when I run out of them, it can cover ancestors or (family) history from as far back as I have reached. Such as my 10th great grandfather, James STANTON from St Cleer, Cornwall, born in 1630; or the Civil War between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads which affected my 7th great grandfather, Robert MURCH, in 1687 in Ottery St Mary, Devon.
I will also be describing how I found my Way Back When ancestors, and where I am going to look next. Although, since some of them have also become brickwalls, I may not actually know where I am going to look next!

Now iv had the phone for 2 weeks, iv rooted installed rom all that good stuff.
Yesterday my phone usb was not mounting, it would charge but it would not connect, the headset works also.
Now i contacted HTC to arrange a repair, i dont know how long the guy had the phone for or if the warranty is still valid since when i got the phone it was sim unlocked but Vodafone branded.
Iv received a reply from htc and its not good. I told them that when i bought the phone it was black not white and there was a custom android version installed on it.
That seems the is a hardware issue on the mini usb, please call us by phone so we can book in the device for repair and send you ups pick up. From the other hand if the Android was hacked the repair center might decide to send you a quotation as the modification of the operating system cancels the warranty. In any case we need to send the device for further actions, please contact us.
I dont know what to do? Its obivious the repair service will say we cant repair it because the android version might have cause this.
Any ideas?

Bournemouth 1-0 Crewe
Liam Feeney's goal early in the second half helped Bournemouth overcome fellow early pace-setters Crewe and complete their third consecutive 1-0 home win.The winger picked the ball up 15 yards inside the Crewe half, beat captain Billy Jones and fired a powerful shot past goalkeeper Adam Legzdkins. Feeney could have had a hat-trick, firing two more efforts wide and high. Crewe's Calvin Zola headed wide from a corner, and Cherries keeper Shwan Jalal denied Byron Moore in stoppage time. .... read more

Do any of you have experience with the HERA Glock Carbine Stock? GlockParts.com - Product Detail - HERA Glock Carbine Stock (G.C.C.) Black (U.S. Only) - $299.00
Even with the SBR tax stamp this is a $500 total conversion which is still less than a lot of the high end carbines and it is a lot more compact. It says in the description that it uses "A simple assembly through utilization of the available front Picatinny rail as well as the included front rail locking bolt." Does this mean you are making modifications to the pistol? I am really only interested in this if it is "drop in" and does not involve any modifications to my Glock.
PS: I did search for this any all the threads I found were 2+ years old. I don't want the search Nazis to try and get me.

Protect your eyes when playing racquetball. The ball often reaches speeds in excess of 100 mph, which is enough force to cause serious eye damage. Such an impact can cause the eyeball to bleed, be pushed into the socket or rupture, say experts at Baylor College of Medicine. Wear goggles designed for racquetball players. They should be made of impact-resistant polycarbonate.

Hey guys and girls. Today something especially for you. Some useful tips from coloring artist.
Some of you asked me about tutorial. I really wanted to write one but they are so time consuming.
So let's start.
1. Make good flats at the start. Use polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop and then Paint bucket tool, it's the most accurate method. Filling areas with brushes is wrong, believe me. You will swear to gods and scream out loud trying to later fill all these tiny holes you didn't notice white painting flats with brush.
Of course don't stick to this advice too much. If you have a bunch of tiny elements it's obvious that it's better to color them with hard brush than to use lasso, especially the polygonal one
My way of doing flats is to make every particular color/character on a separate layer. For example, having two girls, sky and clouds in the picture, I make 3 groups: background, girl1, girl2. Then in each group I make layers for: sky, clouds, skin, hair, shirt, jeans... etc. May look pedantic, but taking care of it at the beginning will save your life later, when suddenly you (or your commissioning party) will decide to change the hair color of one of the girls.
EDIT There's actually even better method that I learned thanks to David aka vest. Thanks, David!
I actually have something that I'd like to throw in, and it's about having the flats broken up into separate layers so you have a set of flats for the BG, girl 1, girl 2, etc. While that works to an extent, I find that there could be some issues if you're working with flats with dozens of characters in the same shot. While the obvious solution is just putting several characters on the same layer (which I used to do), I'd actually like to share a workaround to such an issue just to see what you think.
I keep all the flats on a single layer.
Beneath that layer, I have an 'Elements' layer. That layer will have each element of the image (BG, girl 1, girl 2) as just a single fill. Therefore, if I want to adjust an entire character without having to select each and every single bit on the flats layer, I just go to the 'Elements' layer and select the entire character with a single click.
While this won't do much for saving memory when working with single character shots, it has saved my life many times when working with group shots and highly complex backgrounds.
And how to select the element using this method when it's divided into parts and not on a separate layer? You can go for Select > Color Range option. Unless you have a better idea - then please share it in comments!
If you have it on a separate layer, then You can select an entire layer all at once (with everything in it) by holding down ctrl (cmd for you mac people) then clicking either anywhere in the layer in the layers pallete for older versions of photoshop or in the little icon box for that layer for CS3 versions and higher. - really nice tip from Sean
More tips on dealing with flats and colors, from Sean:
I do each character or major component of the picture's flats on their own layer. Work on one character/component at a time using as many layers as I care to for that and then when done flatten the whole character down to one layer before starting the next one.
Additionally, because of the way I colour stuff I copy that characters/component main flats layer first before doing anything to it. That way I can select the flats bits and pieces but if I need to I have a preserved section of the flats underneath - just in case. I ditch that layer when I've finished the character.
For flats don't go for saturated colors. They will distract you and won't let focus on the whole composition. Use colors from somewhere in the middle of color window, not too bright and saturated, not too dark and dull. Try to make your picture look good on this stage. Doesn't matter that you will change these colors later on, try to match them now, on flats. It will give you an idea of where you want to go.
2. Start shading. You know the "lock transparent pixels" option, don't you? Well, I didn't. I colored my first Zenescope cover without this knowledge. Anyway, it's hell useful option. You'll find it at the top in Layers window. With this option enabled you'll be able to paint shades inside the flat color, without going outside the shape.
Try not to use only soft brush. It's easy, but gives rather crappy effect. Try various brushes, grainy and textured ones. Used properly they will help you get rid of the plastic look on everything.
For shading don't use dodge and burn tool. They will give your coloring rather dummy look. Use similar colors from the same palette, but not exactly the same hue. If you have a beige skin, for example, make highlights not only brighter, but also more into red/pink shade. And shadows more into bronzes. This way it will look more natural than just light beige/medium beige/dark beige shading.
One more trick, rather advanced. If you make shadows in warm colors, make highlights in cold ones. And if you make shadows cold, make highlights warm.
Remember, all light and shadow has color, no matter what. Black and white do not occur naturally, they are just projections of existing color our eyes cannot detect, a particular wavelength on the light spectrum that's beyond our eye's capability to see.
Comic art is full of contrasts, lots of black, inked elements that suggest that shadows are black and highlights are the opposite white. It can be really misleading for a beginner, especially that we do use black and white, BUT to adjust the contrast, not as a shading method.
3. After it's done, think about the surrounding of your character. Is it a blue sky? Then either shadows or lights will affect some of the background colors. Not much, but adding some light blue color on low opacity for your highlight will bring your coloring a whole new dimension.
4. Study. Make lots of studies. Study other artists - Stanley Lau for his fantastic anatomy, Nei Ruffino for vivid colors, Phoenix Lu for bright, "chinese" colors, etc. There's nothing wrong in learning from others as long as you don't just pick their colors But try to learn from the best. Studying beginners will only make you repeat their mistakes.
Study good quality photos. Watch them from totally new perspective. Try to understand how the form is created by lights and shadows, what are natural shades of skin, wood, sky, metal etc. The best way to do it is just practicing. Go for as much realism as you can in your colorings and you will not want to go back to lazy airbrushing anymore
Good luck!

Kernel Patches Test Suspend States at Runtime
Two patches by Rafael J. Wysocki give users the ability to test suspend and hibernation modes at runtime to detect errors.
The first patch gives users the ability to test the suspend code (suspend to disk) without actually switching to suspend mode. This is a useful approach to discovering driver issues says the developer. The second patch modifies the current hibernation function (Suspend to RAM) source code to achieve the same objective. According to Wysocki, this works better than the current test modes as his code can also test globabl ACPI methods.
The test options add a new "/sys/power/pm_test_level" attribute which accepts numbers between 1 and 5. Each of these values simulates a different suspend or hibernation code level. Wysocki explains the individual values as follows. 5 test the freezing of individual processes. 4 additionally tests suspending of devices. Besides suspending processes and devices, 3 additionally tests platform global methods. 2 adds disabling of nonboot CPUs, and 1 simulates full system suspend.
The developer adds: "if a suspend is started by normal means, the suspend core will perform its normal operations up to the point indicated by the test level. Next, it will wait for 5 seconds and carry out the resume operations needed to transition the system back to the fully functional state". To avoid using the text system, you can set "pm_test_level" to 0. Wysocki's third patch adds information on his test systems to the documentation.

Alaska is the richest poor state in the nation. If it does not change its ways -- if it does not stop spending more than it can afford and start socking more away -- it could be among the poorest of the poor in barely a decade or so.
The last governor who attempted to hold the line on spending was Gov. Frank Murkowski, and we know what happened to him. It would be nice to blame the state's fiscal trajectory on Democrats -- they are, after all, responsible for all other evil -- but Republicans have been at the helm.
The good news is we still have time to change. The bad news? The clock is ticking and it is unclear policy makers have a clue about what the future holds.
We have been warned. Guys like economist Scott Goldsmith and Brad Keithley, an oil, gas and fiscal policy consultant and longtime advocate of sustainable fiscal policies, have sounded the alarm for a long while. Spend less. Save more. Ralph Samuels even made fiscal discipline a central theme in his 2010 GOP gubernatorial campaign. It did him no good.
Despite their admonitions, things are unchanged and if fiscal policies remain as they are, future generations will be left holding an embarrassingly empty bag. Now, with next year's election looming, would be a nifty time to start talking about it in earnest.
Goldsmith, with the Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage, earlier this year wrote a piece titled "Maximum Sustainable Yield: FY2014 Update." It should be mandatory reading for Alaskans, especially office-seekers.
After talking with Keithley recently about Alaska's fiscal future, I dragged out Goldsmith's piece and read it again. It is scary. Mind you, it was written before the misguided effort to repeal oil tax reform. What that could bring is anybody's guess.
"Right now, the state is on a path it can't sustain," Goldsmith wrote in January. "Growing spending and falling revenues are creating a widening fiscal gap."
Our cash reserves may get us through 2023, but after that?
"Reasonable assumptions about potential new revenue sources suggest we do not have enough cash in reserves to avoid a severe fiscal crunch soon after 2023, and with that fiscal crisis will come an economic crash," he wrote.
He estimated state government can afford to spend about $5.5 billion a year in unrestricted General Fund money over the long haul.
Unfortunately, we are spending much, much more. This fiscal year, the budget is something like $6.8 billion, the second-largest in state history -- and Gov. Sean Parnell says the next four years' spending plans will be of similar size. Last fiscal year's was $7.6 billion, the highest in state history.
Keithley wrote on his blog that Alaska's fiscal approach is "the functional equivalent of a wage earner in his 50s deciding to spend today what he desperately needs to be putting in his 401(k) for retirement."
Goldsmith recommends all revenues above the "sustainable spending level of $5.5 billion -- including Permanent Fund income, except the share that funds the dividend -- should be channeled into savings."
He estimates if Alaska has $117 billion in cash reserves and the Permanent Fund by 2023, it "would be on the path to sustainable spending far into the future. But . . . that's twice what the state has in financial assets today. So the state needs to sharply step up its savings rate, starting now."
Goldsmith says we should be shooting for what he calls Maximum Sustainable Yield. That's how much Alaska "can spend each year from its petroleum endowment, or nest egg, and still sustain the value of that nest egg for future generations."
Ten years is a blip in time. The question: Can we change? It is difficult to be optimistic. Politically, it is a nonstarter. Government stops spending only when there is nothing left to spend. No one acts before we are knee deep in crisis, and sometimes not even then - just look at Washington, D.C. There always is incredible pressure to spend and no politician wins election by promising not to bring home the bacon.
Will Alaskans come to understand that the jig is nearly up; that very bad times truly may be just over the horizon? More important, will we demand the state change its spendthrift ways to protect future Alaskans?
Anybody know what houses are going for in Palm Springs?

A system that is devastating the Islamic world and doing away with art, science, beauty, love, joy and sincerity Islam. And you see they are ruining Muslims because they have taken Muslims' fundamental strength from them, they have taken away their music, and their science, paintings and art. And they have enslaved and crushed Muslims. They have left them with only the shirts on their backs. I am a plain-speaking, honest and fearless man. They see women with headscarves and you say, "what are you grumbling about?" "Because they are not wearing the full burka" they reply. The headscarf alone is not enough. They have a terrible hatred for women who leave their heads uncovered. Whereas I love them with all my heart. I will protect and watch over them with all my might and will not abandon them to the atheists and irreligious. They are the sweetest things in the world. If they wear the headscarf that is fine, and it is fine if they do not. They are all 100% Muslims, all the jewels in our crown. Our prophet (saas) used to meet women. As he says himself, "there are three things that delight me, the first is prayer, the second is women and the third is pleasant scents." Why did the Prophet Solomon (as) bring Balkis the Queen of Sheba to his palace? We are striving to resemble the Prophet Solomon (as) and our Prophet (saas). Balkis the Queen of Sheba was a non-Muslim, but she became a Muslim. He welcomed her to the palace and spoke with her alone. They spoke and conversed and discussed matters, and then it appears they wished to marry. Bediuzzaman also says we will achieve the spiritual capture of Istanbul through women, insha'Allah. He says the spiritual conquest will come about through women. Eighty percent of women do not cover their heads. I will not let anyone grumble about that. These people grumble, whereas I love them with all my heart. I embrace them and watch over and protect them and will continue to do so.
I am a person of love and passion. Love of woman is very important for me. Female beauty is a wonderful thing. Women are immaculate and highly intelligent and see things in great detail. Men are not like that. If you ask for details, a woman will give you a hundred. Ask a man, and he will only manage two or three. Women have a huge power of detail, a power of depth. Women are also predisposed to faith, to submission to Allah, affection, compassion, loyalty and patience. They are most blessed beings. The important thing for me is ultra-modern thinking.
Muslims are the most intelligent, high quality, select and deep thinking people in the world, and they apply art and science in the finest way. They have struck at Muslims where it hurts the most. Pictures are banned, laughter is banned, talking is banned. You must lock yourself away at home and not speak, you must die if necessary; that is the direction things are heading in. You have made Muslims wretched, but we are trying to repair the damage.
A9 TV, Samsun AKS TV; 19 May 2011
They try to portray religion as something needed to be investigated at great length, as difficult to comprehend. But it is really very simple. We encounter a colorful, 3-D image. Everything is very regular. Sounds are high quality and stereo. We can taste and think. It is obvious that Allah exists. That is evident right from the start. Everything has a mathematical regularity. We can immediately see that Allah is eternal. We see that we are tested, and why. And we see that human beings are an important adornment in the life of this world. Allah created the angels, but it is human beings He really loves. Because they are created to see good and evil, but angels can only see good, they have no option but to be good. That is why Allah loves human beings and enjoys making them live for all time in paradise. If Allah permits, if we go to paradise that will greatly delight us. We will never be able to see enough of the people of paradise. But that stems from the preparation we receive here. A compliment we receive there will delight us. We will love the music, the scents and the foods of paradise, and we will never grow tired of them. Because we will constantly compare them with this world. So we will never grow tired of them. There is always a window opening onto hell. Our gratitude will grow even more since we are able to see hell.
It is impossible for something that exists to be lost for all time. It is impossible for a sound, an image or an entity to disappear for all time. It is impossible in scientific terms for an image to disappear. It is permanent in the Sight of Allah. Allah has created eternal time within an infinitely brief time. This is breathtaking. Allah creates life in great detail. Cars come and go, people write checks and pay bills and taxes. It is all set out to perfection. Like a film screenplay. A perfect screenplay. And people are taken in by that screenplay, because of its perfection. For example, people sell cooked fish between two bits of bread, the wind hits their faces sand they imagine it is all real. But they are all images. There are genuine entities on the outside, but they are transparent, black, colorless and soundless. Nothing comes of them. The sense of touch stems from atoms repelling one another. The same with the sense of smell. But our souls smell with no nose and hear with no ears. That is the kind of system we have.
There may be fewer human beings than angels. There are quadrillions of angels. But Allah loves human beings. This is amazing. Allah likes the way that human beings overcome satan. Satan, may Allah forbid, defies Allah. And we overcome the satan who defies Allah. Allah likes that very much. Of course we cannot be certain in this world that Allah loves us, but we can be in the hereafter, because if we were certain here the test would no longer apply.
Allah tells us not to oppress one another. But people build bombs. This is extraordinary. Why should people be killed, why should bombs be built? Love is beautiful. They make machine guns and boast, "look how many bullets it can fire in a minute. It can tear things apart." Nobody should be killed. There should be no wars. What need is there? Let us all live normally, as servants of Allah. They teach ways of killing. The courts and prisons are full. There are lawyers' offices everywhere. What need is there? Nobody should quarrel with anyone else. We should all be friends. They go to court over the slightest thing. It is wrong to regard this system as normal. I go outside to see whether people look one another in the face, and they do not. I pass in front of a restaurant, and everyone looks down at his plate. They should spread love around, take an interest in people, extend greetings, ask after one another and invite others to their table. That is the best thing. Otherwise, why go out at all? Why go out if nobody is going to look at anyone else, if there is no love or interest out there? They do not even look at the view or the flowers. There are no birds or animals to love. There should be trees everywhere and birds, but instead there is concrete. We go out in the evening and sit down to talk instead of walking along the road. That is what makes life pleasant. Everywhere is the same. Egypt, for instance, is dirty and badly maintained. India, the same, all covered in dust. Most people make no effort over themselves and are not concerned if they look nice. But being liked by others is an expression of respect. They should be clean and well groomed out of respect for others and for themselves. There is an extreme emptiness in the world, and that is very frightening. Whoever shouts loudest is most admired. "He really put the others down," they say admiringly. Why? Pleasant speech is to be admired. This is not how we were created.
Someone stands up and says pictures are unlawful. That is ruinous for Muslims. You cannot strive in the absence of pictures. The Atlas of Creation is full of pictures from beginning to end. Why should pictures be unlawful? They say that Bukhari says so. Wrong. They misinterpret him. They began making pictures of the Prophet Jesus (as) in the time of our Prophet (saas) and to make pictures of our Prophet (saas), and to worship them. Our Prophet (saas) told them to stop. Instead of going off to battle in the days of our Prophet (saas), some people played on the tambourines, and our Prophet (saas) told them not to. But apart from that, why should they be banned? You must not invent your own rules.

Mayor's Office on Domestic Violence & Sexual AssaultIf you or your family are in immediate danger, call 911. If you have been abused by an intimate partner, call the Washington State Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-562-6025. If you have been sexually assaulted, call the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center: 1-888-998-6423. If are a victim of human trafficking or see something suspicious, contact the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline at 1-888-3737-888 January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month Check out Mayor Murray's 2015 Proclamation:
Victims are lured away from family and friends by the promise of a better life. They are forced to perform both legal and illegal work ranging from prostitution to exotic dancing, street peddling to housekeeping, child care to construction and landscaping. Some victims are forced to work in restaurants, nail salons and factories. They are drawn into servile marriages or criminal activities.
Are you being forced to work against your will?
Domestic Violence Every year, approximately 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner in the United States. Many of these cases are never reported to the police. In Washington State 19% of women and 9% of men reported experiencing domestic violence during their lifetime. Although domestic violence affects people of all backgrounds, Hispanic/Latina, African American, American Indian and Alaska Natives, and Asian and Pacific Islander women are at 2.5 to 3.5 times greater risk for domestic violence homicides than white, non-Hispanic women. Additionally, women living in low-income households are at heightened risk of domestic violence. Further research which followed women over time suggests that poverty increases the risk for domestic violence, and domestic violence increases the risk for poverty. The City of Seattle continues to lead, partner and support efforts to end domestic violence, sexual assault and commercial sexual exploitation. This involves collaborating with numerous private and public agencies to provide many services and programs, convening elected leaders and community partners to work together, and seeking public and private funding to enhance programs and services for Seattle residents. We also help victims and survivors create safe and violence-free lives, and heal from the trauma of abuse or sexual assault. Annually, the Human Services Department (HSD) invests in more than $4.9 million in services and programs to address domestic violence and sexual assault prevention, intervention, coordinated response and offenders' accountability programs. Programs focusing on specialized populations include Multilingual Access Project (www.map-seattle.org) and Peace in the Home Helpline (a 24/7 victim advocacy phone line which allows limited English survivors to connect with an advocate in 14 languages). Much of our work takes place in the Domestic Violence Prevention Council, which develops, implements and coordinates citywide efforts to reduce and prevent domestic violence. Human Services Department staff oversee the workings of the council and coordinate the efforts of its member agencies. On this site:
ReportsSeattle Family Justice Center Feasibility AnalysisThe City of Seattle and the Seattle Police Foundation are pleased to provide the final report from the Seattle Family Justice Center Feasibility Analysis. Based on the positive feedback and recommendations included in the report, City leadership will be proceeding to the next stage of development for a co-located domestic violence response center based on the Family Justice Center model. The next steps will be to engage in a strategic planning process and to begin fund development. The strategic planning process will ensure that the ultimate design of the project will meet the unique needs of our community. Biennial Report on Domestic Violence in SeattleToward Safety and Justice: Domestic Violence in Seattle is a biennial report that aims to raise public awareness of all aspects of domestic violence – what it is, who and how many people it affects, and how the community responds to domestic violence. The report include national and local criminal justice and service data that helps explain the scope of the problem in our region. Also, it includes the City's efforts to address these problems and gaps in services. Promising Practices in Sexual Violence Prevention and Community Mobilization for Prevention: A Report to the City of SeattleThis report was commissioned by the Seattle Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Division within the City of Seattle Human Services Department. The report is an overview of the current state of the literature related to effective and promising approaches to sexual violence prevention. Additionally, current knowledge regarding best practices and critical elements of community mobilizing as a prevention strategy are reviewed. The goal of the report is to assist the City and its community partners in identifying sexual violence prevention-related activities that are likely to carry the greatest impact given limited resources. Youth Involvement in Prostitution in Seattle"Who Pays the Price? Youth Involvement in Prostitution in Seattle", completed by Dr. Debra Boyer, was commissioned to guide funding and policy decisions, and to help facilitate a more coordinated response to the problem. Through The Lens of Domestic Violence: A look at Housing and HomelessnessStrategic PlanThe 2013-2015 Domestic Violence Strategic Plan: Seattle's Criminal Justice Response, adopted by the Domestic Violence Prevention Council in January 2013, builds upon the ongoing efforts of the City of Seattle to achieve a bold vision – that Seattle will become a community where there is no domestic violence. The response to domestic violence within our community includes a broad spectrum of intervention and prevention initiatives carried out by numerous agencies, all of which are designed to address the comprehensive needs of a domestic violence survivor. This proposed plan is the continuation of Seattle's efforts to reflect upon and improve our criminal justice system's response to domestic violence, which comprises a narrow range of interventions and services. The graphic below provides a visual representation of the strategic plan, including purpose, focus areas, guiding principles and factors critical to success.

Began directing comedy shorts in the early 1920s |
The young Roberts served as a pilot in WWI and, after his discharge, continued his airborne activities as a stunt pilot. Engagements at county fairs ended abruptly when an accident curtailed his flying career, and he drifted into film work as a stuntman and double. A brief apprenticeship with Thomas Ince quickly led to his becoming a director of comedy shorts by the early 1920s. Feature work did not begin until 1932, though, when Roberts' aviation background led Paramount to assign him a bland Richard Arlen vehicle, "Sky Bride" (1932). The film's routine storyline hardly impressed the critics, but Roberts received some praise for his handling of a suspenseful child rescue scene.
Most of Roberts' films fall squarely into the category of programmers, in between "A" and "B" films in length and cost. Roberts began to find his way with "Lady and Gent" (1932), a warm seriocomic duet for the rough diamond pair of Wynne Gibson and George Bancroft, and "The Night of June 13" (1932), a superior courtroom drama boasting a top-flight cast. The charming period comedy "One Sunday Afternoon" (1933), showing Gary Cooper moving firmly into homespun roles, was later improved upon by Raoul Walsh's 1941 remake, "The Strawberry Blonde", but Roberts struck pay dirt with "The Story of Temple Drake" (1933). An admittedly toned down adaptation of William Faulkner's vivid descent into Southern debauchery, "Sanctuary", the film was maturely powerful, highly atmospheric, and extremely well-acted, with Miriam Hopkins splendid as a thrill-seeking heiress who falls in with some especially unsavory criminal yokels.
Roberts may have gained respect for managing to adapt a seemingly "unfilmable" novel, but "Temple Drake" caused controversy; it was one of the films directly responsible for the stronger enforcement of the Production Code. He left Paramount after "The Trumpet Blows" (1934), with George Raft and Adolphe Menjou miscast as a bullfighter and a Mexican bandit, and he signed with RKO. His first film there, though small, was another gem. "Romance in Manhattan" (1934) proved a beguiling invasion of Frank Capra territory, with Ginger Rogers and Francis Lederer wonderful as a chorine and the naive immigrant she befriends.
A one-shot at 20th Century-Fox, "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" (1935), a very slender but sleek jaunt with Ronald Colman, continued the modest career upswing, and Roberts consolidated his gains with two back-to-back hits. Both "Star of Midnight" (1935), starring Rogers and William Powell, and "The Ex-Mrs. Bradford" (1936), teaming Powell with Jean Arthur, were unabashed imitations of the immensely successful 1934 comedy-mystery "The Thin Man". Powell was near his peak giving variations on his savvy sleuth Nick Charles, his female co-stars blithely held up their end of the banter, and the mystery plots were suitably tangy.
Roberts was almost a big-budget "A" league director and even the minor, if decent, Ann Harding sudser "The Lady Consents" (1936) did not stem his progress. He was also starting to become a critics' pet at the time of his abrupt death at age 40 in 1936.

Since 1987, thousands of volunteers have scoured the shores of Massachusetts through COASTSWEEP, the statewide beach cleanup organized by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM). These dedicated volunteers collect and document "marine debris," the technical term for trash and other discarded items that end up in the ocean and the coastal environment.
Thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers who helped make the 26th COASTSWEEP successful. In 2013, 2,660 volunteers cleaned 118 sites (more than 138 miles), removing more than 28 tons of debris! See the COASTSWEEP 2013 data sheet for complete results. And here are some highlights from specific cleanups:
- On September 12, COASTSWEEP's 2013 Marketing and Social Media Intern, Jeff Ellis, headed out to a late-summer cleanup at the Department of Conservation and Recreation's (DCR) Constitution Beach in East Boston. It was a beautiful 80-degree day—all warm sun and cool breezes. This unique cleanup spot is right next to Logan Airport, with planes taking off and landing continually. Jeff met up with cleanup coordinator Pam DiBona and the other volunteers for a quick briefing and distribution of trash bags, gloves, data cards, and pencils. Jeff was expecting a lot of trash—food wrappers, bottles and cans, plastic utensils— but from afar the beach looked relatively clean with only a few large items to be found, mostly bottles and plastic bags. But after a closer inspection, Jeff realized that there was still a lot of cleaning that could be done. Cigarette butts and small pieces of plastic and glass were literally every few inches across the entire quarter-mile-long beach! The volunteers' data cards quickly filled with tallies for cigarette butts and plastics. For further details, see A Last Gasp of Summer - Perfect for a COASTSWEEP Cleanup at Constitution Beach on the Mass Great Outdoors Blog.
- The Massachusetts Baykeeper cleanup, which was coordinated by Executive Director Brianne Callahan and held in cooperation with DCR and UMass Boston, yielded the greatest quantity of trash. At this one cleanup, volunteers collected more than 19 tons of material from the shoreline surrounding the Savin Hill Yacht Club in Dorchester! The debris was mostly wooden and metal items that had washed up in the cove over the years. According to DCR and staff at the yacht club, the majority of this waste was left over from U.S. Navy target practice in the 1950s-60s. (See the large wooden block with the metal loops in the picture to the right for an example.) Although the volunteers worked hard and were able to clear away a large portion of the debris, more still remains to be done.
- In the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, 30 volunteers removed two tires, a railing, a luggage rack, and a gas grill as part of the 23 bags of trashed removed by during a COASTSWEEP cleanup on South Cape Beach in Mashpee and Washburn Island jetties in East Falmouth (both part of the reserve).
Cleanup volunteers tend to find some strange items that are not typically associated with beach trash. For 2013, weird items included a 25-pound weight, a broom, a window air conditioner, a $5 bill, a skateboard, a pink plastic whale, and a last, but not least, a wedding gown (which was found by Mass Audubon at Dowses Beach in Osterville).
Now that all of the data have been collected, the number one debris item tallied was, once again, cigarette butts. Volunteers reported collecting approximately 40,699 cigarette butts—a more than 10% increase over 2012. Food wrappers and containers were also fairly high, with a reported 12,235. Also, 38 appliances were found, which indicates some illegal dumping issues.
Clearly much more work is needed to help people reduce the trash they generate and the trash that ends up on our shorelines—but thanks to all who participated in a 2013 COASTSWEEP cleanup, the Commonwealth's coast is definitely cleaner.
Thanks again!
-The COASTSWEEP Team – Anne, Arden, Denise, Jeff, Patrice, and Robin

(Mark Cunningham/Getty Images)A new report from ESPN The Magazine's Don Van Natta Jr. claims that former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary told a group of players that he was abused as a child. McQueary reportedly made this statement shortly after Jerry Sandusky was indicted on charges of sexual abuse. Sandusky was convicted in June 2012.Players told ESPN The Magazine that McQueary said that he empathized with Sandusky's victims because he had also been abused as a child. The revelations are included in an upcoming ESPN The Magazine profile of McQueary, an important witness in the upcoming trial of three former Penn State officials.From the report: Mike McQueary confided to a dozen Nittany Lions players that he could relate to the helplessness of the young boy he had seen with Sandusky in a campus shower a decade earlier because he was abused as a boy, according to two players who attended the meeting and four others with knowledge of it. McQueary did not tell the players who had abused him or when or how long the abuse had occurred, the sources said.McQueary's meeting with Penn State receivers was held on Nov. 9, 2011, just three days after prosecutors revealed, in a 23-page presentment, that McQueary had seen Sandusky and a young boy engaged in "anal intercourse" in the Lasch Football Building on campus on Feb. 9, 2001.McQueary and his lawyers chose not to comment for ESPN The Magazine's story, other than McQueary reiterating his support for former coach Joe Paterno.McQueary has sued Penn State for $4 million due to alleged lost wages, as the former coach's contract was not renewed in 2012. The ESPN The Magazine story also discusses the ways in which defense lawyers plan to question McQueary's testimony, including allegations of inconsistencies in his statements about the alleged abuse he witnessed in 2001.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Salpicon and salpicón (meaning "hodgepodge" or "medley" in Spanish)[1] are terms used in different ways in French, Spanish, Central American and Latin American cuisine for preparations of one or more ingredients diced or minced and bound with a sauce or liquid.[2] A salpicon is sometimes used as stuffing. In contrast to the usual savory versions of other cuisines, in Colombia "salpicon" refers to a sweet snack.
In French cuisine the resulting mixture is used to stuff tartlets, canapés, croquettes, rissoles, timbales, vol-au-vents, croustades, eggs, roulades, etc.
In Mexican cuisine and Central American cuisine, the term refers to a salad mixture containing thinly sliced or chopped flank steak, onion, oregano, chile serrano, avocado, tomatoes, and vinegar. The mixture is commonly served on tostadas, tacos or as a filling of Poblano peppers.
In Colombian cuisine, salpicón is a fruit cocktail beverage made with a base of watermelon and/or orange juice, which gives it its bright red color, and soda water.[3]

Obama touts high tech, business investment at Intel in Oregon
President Obama visited Intel Corp.'s large manufacturing plant in Oregon Friday. He named Intel CEO Paul Otellini – who's been critical of the administration's economic policies – to the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Kevin Lamarque/Reuters
Ashland, Ore.
President Obama's brief visit to an Intel Corp. manufacturing plant in Oregon Friday – the morning after his Thursday dinner meeting with Silicon Valley's top CEOs – serves two purposes. It gives him another chance to push education and the high-tech industry, and it's an important buddy moment with a Republican business executive who's been critical of the administration.
Both are intended to boost the country's long-term economic recovery – and, not incidentally, advance Mr. Obama's image as a pro-business president.
Oregon may be known for timber and salmon – its major state universities are nicknamed the "Beavers" and the "Ducks" – but in recent years high-tech has replaced logging as the major industry here.
RELATED: American innovation: 13 born-in-the-USA inventions
Intel is headquartered in Silicon Valley, but its largest manufacturing plant is in Hillsboro, Ore., just west of Portland. The company employs 15,000 people in Oregon with an annual payroll approaching $2 billion, making it the largest employer in the state.
