Variations on Theme: Boudu, Toni, and Mother Nature
[Film analysis paper from 1999]
In ancient times, many cultures conceived of the world as a snake devouring itself, creating a continuous circle. In modern times, film critic Andre Bazin had a similar conception. He believed everything in reality was connected to everything else. The world, reality, is continuous, circular. Before the rules of chaos theory, where a butterfly in Santiago can affect the weather in London, Bazin was using his theory to glorify auteur director Jean Renoir's film style, extolling certain tendencies he saw as showing this continuous, interconnected philosophy of nature. As a general way of deciphering Renoir's style, Bazin highlighted the director's habit of de-emphasizing the narrative to emphasize the sensual, physical world in which the narrative takes place. Bazin pointed out several stylistic traits, from the use of non-professional actors and real locations to the use of deep staging and lateral reframing. Bazin argued these traits draw attention away from what story is being told and to the world and characters through which the story is being told.
Renoir's preference for showing the physical world ties in with the various themes he creates throughout his movies. Bazin's contentions apply throughout Renoir's works as the director employs a consistent arsenal of traits to depict this continuous reality; however, there also exist thematic variations which are depicted through changes in these traits. While Boudu Saved From Drowning and Toni both deal thematically with nature, their takes on man's relationship with nature are opposites, and stylistic differences account for this discrepancy. For Boudu, the world is open for him because he is one with the world. For Toni, the world is a circle trapping him because he is out of step with the world.
The Rise of Hentai in America, Part 3
[This is the final part of the women studies paper I wrote on hentai. You can find Part 1, on the definition of hentai, here, and Part 2, on the comparison of hentai to live action pornography, here. And, once again, the material covered in this part is strictly NSFW.]
While it may not be as prevalent or have the same tradition in our society that live action pornography does, there is no mistaking that hentai is here and is accessible, highly so if we consider the role of the Internet in its dispersion. We have seen in this essay that its similarities to live action pornography mean it could have similar impacts on consumers, and these impacts may be further influenced by the simulacrum nature of hentai girls and the fantasies they offer. Even if these texts are read as humorous, their situatedness in our society, in our public discourse that attempts to both normalize sex and keep it hidden, suggests that even harmless appearing cartoons can reinforce the ideology of male domination if it remains unchallenged.
How People Make Sense of Virtual Worlds — and Why It Matters
This video was produced by Roskilde University, with assistance from Dominican University, to summarize and even illustrate some of the findings from my research study, Virtual Worlds Entertainment. In this video I discuss what I had done, what I had learned, and perhaps what others can learn from it all.
The Rise of Hentai in America, Part 2
[In part 1 of this 2006 women studies paper, I discussed what hentai is and how it has grown in consumption in the United States; so if you are first entering this report via this part, you should pop on over there first. In this part of the report, I compare hentai to live action pornography. Again, this is absolutely rated NSFW.]
Is it different than live action pornography?
Theories of what is pornography began to crystallize in the 1970s due to the work of American feminists and their analysis of how women are represented on film. In particular is the work of Laura Mulvey in theorizing how positioning and objectifying women in film serve the scopophilic male gaze that receives pleasure by its voyeuristic and yet controlling gaze of women. Pornography is largely held as an "art form" that objectifies the female figure, positioning women as submissive sexual objects presented for the sole purpose of providing pleasure to men, whether in the narrative with the women or in the audience consuming the narrative. Women are fragmented by the camera or the comic panels so that the focus for the viewer is on specific body parts to elicit arousal. Oftentimes women are being dominated by the male, in a heterosexual coupling, or by a masculinized woman in a homosexual coupling. Regardless of whether a man is actually present in the frame or not, by depicting women as objects, as dehumanized and subjected to a dominant other's desires, they rendered powerless, denied agency, and thus not a threat to the presumed male viewer, who is left to gave over the spectacle without anxiety of being discovered, castigated, and ultimately metaphorically castrated.
The Rise of Hentai in America, Part 1
(This paper, and the accompanying presentation I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way, were done in 2006 for a women's studies course at Ohio State University. Some of the facts may be a bit outdated, some have been updated, but I still stand by the interpretation of the texts. And, warning, this posting will include illustrated examples of pornographic cartoons, so it is definitely rated NSFW. Part 1 here discusses the subject matter; Part 2 compares hentai to live action pornography; Part 3 considers the ramifications of hentai.)
The Culture of The Fail
As a society, as a civilization, even as a species, we like to celebrate success. With the Summer Olympics under way in Ye Olde London Towne, we have one of the great examples of how much we humans celebrate success. We give people medals, trophies, money, cereal endorsements, all for outrunning, outgunning, outswimming, outsynchronizing their rivals. We are surrounded by successful ideals in our sports heroes, our political heroes, our war heroes, our super heroes — they are people to be admired and to serve as role models for the rest of us. Hell, some of our super heroes are also hugely successful in other areas of life, such as the billionaires Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark. We all strive for success in what we do; we've even been taught that we shouldn't do something unless we hope to succeed at it, even if it takes years.
And yet, there are people who are contradictions: they appear to be trying to succeed by failing, or they appear to worship failures. Which prompts the question: is failing a new way of succeeding?
The culture of the "fail" is widespread across the Web. There are whole groups devoted to producing and sharing images, or memes, of "fails": of things not working the way they were supposed to. The people who brought us the lolcat meme have a whole blog devoted to aggregating such fails. The fail is increasingly going mainstream, moving from instances like "the Fail Whale" from Twitter to appropriation by a Nobel Prize winning economist. For this article, I am focusing on the fail compilation videos of videosharing sites like YouTube. I, like so many others, cannot help but laugh or cringe or stare at these moments of utter failure, often accompanied by pain, that people have shared with the world. But in watching these, I cannot help but wonder why. Why do I respond to them as I do? Why do people do these things? Why is "fail" become such a popular Internet meme?
All of my answers are musings, drawing on research into other media activities and content. By no means am I offering anything definitive — I do not plan to succeed in defining the love of the fail in this article. And, yes, there will be embeds of fail compilations from YouTube for your enjoyment. So let's begin there, with one of the most recent compilations:

Representations of Women in Japanese and American Pop Culture
(From a 2004 paper on a cross-cultural examination of the superheroine)
In their article on children and role models, Anderson and Cavallaro (2002) say that superheroes are "larger-than-life symbols of American values and 'maleness'." (p. 162). From a socialization point of view, is there reason to be concerned about the 'superhero'-centeredness of a segment of the American pop culture to which many children are exposed? And if this is the case in America, where many believe women are on a more equal alignment with men, what is the situation in other societies, such as Japan, where inequality is perceived to be more common? Both the United States and Japan have a segment of their pop culture devoted to fantastic stories about individuals with superhuman powers. These stories tell of heroes with strengths that children may identify with in the hope becoming as successful as these characters (Anderson & Cavallaro, 2002). It then becomes imperative to understand how these heroes are portrayed. Are the women in media, which is directed towards tomorrow's women, being portrayed as strong and independent rather than as victims and damsels-in-distress?

Always make sure that your site is well-coded. Messy coding makes it difficult for spiders to index your site. Using Flash without textual descriptions makes it impossible to index your site. Above all else, you site has to entertain people and keep their attention if you hope to have a successful web business. A big part of SEO is actually getting people to not only come back to your site time and again, but also spend extended amounts of time on your pages. Little things like this will help propel your site up the ranks. Adding a site map to you site is vital to any SEO process. Spiders will have an easier time crawling your site if there is a site map. A large site might require more than one site map. You don't want more than 100 different links for each map. Search engines use bots which constantly search for new and updated content. Adding new content on a daily basis will invite these bots to take a look at your site. Not only that, if your articles are really good, other people will publish your links. As a result, those people will share with their friends and so on.
Patience is crucial if you are trying to boost your site's ranking. Significant changes and massive traffic will not come overnight. Especially if you have a brand new website, the optimization process may not show results for months. It takes time for an online business to establish a name, just like traditional businesses.
When writing content as part of a search engine optimization strategy, it is important to not use Associated Press style, and instead focus on your SEO techniques. This means striking a delicate balance between including the keyword enough for the search engines to notice while not making the text sound awkward. Your search results should improve since it works by examining the density of the keywords it has found.
A product feed is an effective way to grow your client roster and attract a larger number of visitors to your website. Include information about your products, such as descriptions or prices, on your feeds. Submit these to comparisons sites for shoppers as well as to search engines. Customers can also subscribe to your feed with a feed reader. Popular browsers offer free local listings, which can really help get your name out there. You will get more visibility through these venues, without added costs. You should never neglect to use a free or low cost opportunity to advertise your website.
Creating a site map can really have a positive impact on your business, as search engines are able to index your pages more easily. These maps make it easy to find any subpage on your site. When your site is not very large, you still want to have a site map to help raise your search engine rankings. Use keyword-friendly anchor text for links between pages on your website. If the text you use is generic, like "click here," you are missing out on a great opportunity to optimize your site a little more. You can attract web crawlers to your anchor text by using relevant keywords in it.
If you are the webmaster for a business website, inform the CEO that he/she could attract more traffic to his/her business's website if he/she started an interesting blog. This method can serve the company as its voice, and people will be eager to hear it. Learn about the different types of external links that could increase your websites search engine rankings. The four main types are reciprocal links, directory links, paid one-way links and natural one-way links. Search engines rank each of these links differently, so educate yourself on the pros and cons of each before beginning your external link campaign. Adding information to your site can give it a more personal feel that search engines reward with higher rankings.. Try including tips for how to choose from your products, or an article about its use or how others have benefited from it.
Emphasize popular keywords instead of your website's name. Think about what most people will be searching for. When you are working on gaining ranks on search engines, you need to constantly consider what search terms your customers are going to be looking for, and then tailor your content to those terms instead of using obscure terms.
Search engine optimization is a very broad field, with many different ways to improve your rankings. You will obtain high ranked results if you optimize your system for search. The optimized performance will make your readers happier as well. If you want to be higher up on search engine results, help the web spiders out. Spiders analyze your site's content and keyword usage to determine rankings; unless your content is easily indexed, your site may not rank as high as you'd like. You need to stress what about your site is important by creating a site map that allows a spider to grasp the hierarchy of your pages.

Cypress Sharpridge Investments' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The Company has asked me to note that the content of this conference call contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of today, Thursday, July 19, 2012. The Company does not intend to and undertakes no duty to update the information to reflect future events or circumstances.
For opening remarks and introductions, I will now turn the call over to Rick Cleary, CYS' Chief Operating Officer; and Mr. Cleary, you have the floor.
Richard Cleary
Thanks, Jeff. Good morning and welcome to CYS' 2012 Second Quarter Earnings conference call. Today's call is being recorded and access to the recording of today's call will be available on the Company's website at www.cysinv.com, commencing at 3 pm Eastern time this afternoon.
To better understand our results, it would be helpful to have the press release that we issued last night. The release includes information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliation of those measures to GAAP measures, which will be discussed on this call. I'd now like to turn the call over to our CEO, Kevin Grant. Kevin Grant Thanks Rick. Thanks Jeff, and good morning and welcome to our second quarter 2012 earnings conference call. As usual, joining Rick and me this morning is our CFO, Frances Spark, and Bill Sheehan from our investment team. We have a few opening comments, and I've also asked Bill Sheehan to spend a few minutes on the investing environment, given the historic low yield. We are pleased to report solid results for the second quarter of 2012. The Company delivered another $0.50 dividend plus $0.38 of NAV appreciation. We have been well positioned to benefit in this environment, and we've benefited from some very good asset choices over the past several quarters. Dollar prices are high in the MBS market, so getting the prepayment story right can really pay off. During the quarter, we were quite active, selling assets priced too high for their prepayment exposure and replacing them with assets with better prepayment protection. The consumer response to the low rates is here as measured by the refi index, and the prepayments will run through the system over the next few months. This activity generated about 61 million in realized capital gains for us, and we think the assets we sold were priced way too high relative to very attractive alternatives in the marketplace.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Researchers seeking to exploit the plasma proteome for diagnostic, drug discovery, and related applications face analytical challenges arising out of the wide concentration range and structural complexity of its constituent proteins, as well as the limitations of current analytical techniques. The concentration range of proteins in human plasma spans approximately twelve orders of magnitude, with 85 to 90% of the protein mass distributed across as few as six proteins. Specialized affinity columns have simplified the removal of high-abundance proteins, facilitating an investigation of the large number of low-abundance proteins present in the immunodepleted sample.1
Immunodepeleted plasma represents a complex mixture of hundreds or thousands of proteins. Fractionation of the sample is an important step in reducing the complexity pursuant to analysis. Given the low abundance of the analytes of interest (pg/mL to ng/mL range), any fractionation technique must provide high recoveries, efficient separations, and reproducibility, especially if the objective is the validation of protein biomarkers — a task considered key to understanding cellular and tissue dysfunction and exploring consequent pathogenicity. Current separation methods such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) and two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2DLC) are limited in these applications by inefficient sample recoveries and poor reproducibility. The poor reproducibility associated with 2DGE and reverse phase (RP) chromatography often makes it difficult to directly compare the protein content of samples.

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate when guests take the time to provide feedback. We will buy a couple of extra sun loungers as suggested as our properties are fully booked more and more frequently - so thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately we are not in a position to install A/C in the second bedroom at the moment as this is very expensive to run and would force us to increase our prices significantly when we are keen to keep our prices competitive. This is something we will keep under review though. Laura, Affinity Villas.

EPISD officials reflect on security changes one year after Sandy Hook massacre
POSTED: Monday, December 16, 2013 - 10:27pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 - 12:09pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — It's hard to imagine someone intentionally hurting young children, especially while they are at school.Then, the shooting at Sandy Hook just last year shocked the nation, when it killed 20 students and 6 adults.
The tragedy forced local school leaders to take a look at their own campuses and beef up security.
"Officers walking the halls, meeting with students, interacting with parents," said El Paso ISD Police Chief, Victor Araiza.
This year, Texas lawmakers passed a bill requiring all schools to conduct at least one evacuation drill, one lock down, and one shelter-in-place exercise every school year.
"Training and conducting drills and being aware of when someone comes in the building. They challenge them," said Araiza.
The chief of police at the El Paso Independent School District says the more than one hundred campuses are right on track, but they are making one change.
"Deploying our resources to assure that those elementary schools get that coverage they weren't seeing before," said Araiza.
Police were at every middle school and high school, but not the elementary schools.
"The officer or a police car if they see it on a regular basis, they're less likely to approach that campus," said Araiza.
One EPISD parent suggested another change.
"I'm hoping for better hiding places because all you can do is hide the students and close the door. So everyone knows about code blue. The door is locked and the people that come in know there are students hiding and they know where," said an EPISD student.
EPISD also plans to staff safe and secure coordinators to build on the already existing safety plans and take more suggestions from parents.
The Texas School Safety Center said it recommended schools conduct at least one of the drills every month.
The Chief of Police at EPISD said it will not be fiscally possible to staff police at every one of the 56 elementary schools, but plan on showing some kind of presence as often as possible.

between you and me
Also, between ourselves; just between you and me and the bedpost or four walls or gatepost or lamp-post. In strict confidence. For example, Just between you and me, it was Janet who proposed to Bill rather than vice versa. This phrase, dating from about 1300, is generally followed by some informative statement that the listener is being asked to keep secret. The variant with bedpost, also shortened to post, dates from the early 1800s; four walls, also shortened to the wall, dates from the early 1900s, as does the gatepost.

In Bali, ancient ceremonies confront modern terror
Indonesian priests conduct the largest ritual sacrifice in memory, trying to ward off future terrorist attacks.
Sitting cross-legged in the courtyard of the Ocean Temple at sunset late last week, Ida Pedande Gede Putra Bajing, a Brahmin high priest, struggles to explain the importance of the ceremony he will help lead.
Around him are roughly three dozen lay priests from Kuta, the resort that was rocked by an Al Qaeda bomb blast that killed nearly 200 people on Oct. 12. Mr. Bajing is giving last-minute instructions.
The next day, they join hundreds of priests in the largest blood sacrifice any Balinese can recall - a bid to rebuild a spiritual order many here see as shattered by the bomb.
"This will be the first, and hopefully the last, ceremony of its kind," says Bajing, who helped a team of priests pore over ancient lontar palm scrolls to create the right ritual response to the attack.
Many here see it as a way to draw comfort out of a horrifying experience, much the way Americans did with ceremonies in New York and Washington after Sept. 11. "This is to make Bali neutral again, to cleanse the site of the blast, and to bring peace to the souls of the dead," Bajing says. Then the priest, whose salt-and-pepper hair is gathered in a topknot and adorned with a pendant and flowers, reaches into his shirt pocket and answers his cellphone.
Bali is a study in contradictions, a lush island where global tourist culture mingles with an ancient ritual world that governs almost every aspect of life.
In the aftermath of the attack, which destroyed the Sari Club and an Irish bar called Paddy's, that has meant trying to deal with the impact of global terrorism within the context of Balinese cosmology.
Throughout the island, Balinese - businessmen and farmers alike - wonder if a failure in regular ritual observance led to the attack. Some say mistakes in making offerings to the dark gods linked with the sea made the deaths inevitable.

Fiery explosions interrupted the completion of the Boston marathon Monday afternoon.
The New York Times reported that at least two explosions went off near the finish line of the marathon race shortly before 3 p.m. Eastern Time, about four hours after the race started.
Fox News reports that two people were killed and dozens injured, including 10 people who reportedly lost limbs in the blasts.
Many runners were still on the course. About 500,000 people typically line up along the 26.2-mile route to watch the world famous race, the Times said, with the biggest concentration near the finish line.
About 25,000 runners typically compete in the marathon.
The Associated Press reported that two other bombs were found and dismantled, and officials reportedly detonated a fifth explosive device in a controlled explosion.
One of the dead was an 8-year-old boy, according to a state law enforcement source.
The blasts were about 50 to 100 yards apart, CNN reported, on a stretch of the marathon course lined with spectators cheering runners through the final yards.
CNN reported at least 134 people were being treated, with at least 17 of them in critical condition and 25 in serious condition. At least eight of the patients are children, CNN said.

A buddy of mine purchased a 4912 kegerator setup from a friend a few months ago. It is drilled through the top. Beer lines, in a PVC pipe surrounded by insulation, run up into a ceramic draft tower on top of the bar. The CO2 tank sits outside and the gas line also runs out of the top. A small project box fan pumps cold fridge air up along the beer lines and into the tower to keep the lines cold. The problem is that it cannot get the beer even remotely cold enough. The compressor runs constantly. The back freezes up, so I think the coolant is ok. I took the seal off and made sure it was completely held on by the whiteboard. I also sealed up any gaps in the PVC pipe and/or from the top of the fridge with foam and insulation tape. If I put a flashlight inside the fridge at night, I cannot see any light escaping. Right now the corny keg is sitting at 53 degrees. There is a Johnson controller set to 39 degrees. The temp probe is in a small bottle of freezer goo. Any ideas? I thought about a small PC fan to recirculate the air, but it seems the problem is bigger than that since the unit does not even get remotely cold enough.
How long has the keg been in there? Does the compressor ever kick off?
You say you have a "small project box fan pumps cold fridge air up along the beer lines and into the tower to keep the lines cold". Do you have a cooling air line set up to return the tower cooling air? Also, where is temp probe placed that controls the refrigeration unit? If it is the standard Sanyo thermostat controlling the unit, I think it might be setup or adjusted wrong. I have 2 of the refers and do not have a single problem with them. Please describe your exact set up. Perhaps we can help and advise. P-J
He mentioned he's using an external temp control:
Well when I've monitored my temps closely I only get a temp drop of about 2ºF per hour, so if the corny is room temp it would take a while to chill. If it turns off at all before the beer reaches temp perhaps your probe setup is not matching your actual beer temp? Maybe try dropping the temp on the Johnson to 34º and tape the probe to the side of the corny.
Oh also, make sure the factory thermostat is turned up to max so the Johnson has full control.

If iPod Photo gets 15 hours of battery life with a color screen, which will drain power more than the current iPod screens, then how much more hours would the previous iPods get with the new update? Is the longer battery life of iPod Photo due to better designs for the new product? If I could get 15 hours for 4G, then that would be something.
Posted by ijustbought4G on October 26, 2004 at 5:49 PM (CDT)
it's probably got different hardware, not to mention a smaller buffer. Which helps improve the battery life

or at least thats what i think

I downloaded this Updater hoping that the featured "Click Wheel" improvements would be applicable to the iPod mini. But then I noticed that the mini software packaged with this Updater is still v1.1. Talk about old wine in a new bottle for us mini users. Mmmmm…fermented grapes.

I just got the new G4 last month! I can't believe this is happening so quick. Was photo suppose to be an original idea for the G4? I would have loved to be at that staff meeting!
"I have an idea to make a new generaiton of iPod. We will call it the G4"
"I have a better idea lets make it an audio and photo iPod."
"I have a better idea let do both, but not tell anyone. And get as much money as we can like the guys at Microsoft."
Posted by Tim B on October 27, 2004 at 7:32 AM (CDT)
I hope this does not signify slower or no updates for the 4G since it was just released.
Posted by mflat5 in USA on October 27, 2004 at 8:15 AM (CDT)
As a 3G owner, I'm pissed at the lack of updates, and the stupid way Apple manages to ad more than 2 "features" to it's firmware, and all of a sudden, they have a "4G" iPod!
At least the iPod Photo is a REAL upgrade, worthy of being "next gen".
Now it's time for you iPod mini, and 4G owners to watch as Apple start to slowly loose the ability to write new firmware for your models now! I think they must have like 4 or 5 people working on their firmware, and thats only when they are not working on a "next gen" product's firmware!
I won't be giving Apple any more of my custom. The competition WILL catch up with Apple. It's getting VERY close now!
My iPod is just over a year old, and it has been dropped like a hot potato!
Posted by Tone on October 27, 2004 at 12:55 PM (CDT)
What is the point of supplying a 1.0 version of software for the new G5 model? Does'nt that come with the machine?
If you read the list of updates, it sounds more like a bunch of marketing stuff to me!
This is what the 4G iPod should have been in the first place, instead of just a bunch of firmware updates that ALL iPods should be getting!
Posted by Hmmmm on October 27, 2004 at 1:06 PM (CDT)
im suprised all u peeps feel badly done to with the firmware. its a product, the faults have been fixed and it works perfectly. nuff said really.
Posted by HA on October 27, 2004 at 1:06 PM (CDT)
Hmmm, Matrix, how can a smaller buffer translate in to a longer battery life??
Surely a larger buffer means less HD access, resulting in less power drain.
Posted by Om on October 27, 2004 at 1:10 PM (CDT)
What's up with this Website? Why repost this News twice? I don't get it….
Oh well for those that came late!
the only new thing on the 20.10.2004 release is for a Product that will only become avalible sometime next Week.
... The Photo'Pod…
Let's break it down People…
Photo'Pod (5G??) 1.0
iPod Mini 1.1 (No change)
iPod 1 & 2G 1.4 (No change)
iPod 3G 2.2 (No change)
iPod 4G 3.0.1 (No change)
So seeing as the Photo'Pod has it's own OS Rev. ~COUGH~ Firmware ~COUGH~!
It would appear that the 4G Crowd will be joining us in our 3G Hell, =) and that only after Three Months after it was released! I'm glad I got the 3G Model I'd be really REALLY PI$SED OFF if Iwere a 4G owner Today!!!!

You guys are killing me. most of you act like your going to get photo support or some new feature thats going to make your iPod something better then what it already is. The only updates you should be expcting is to fix problems or add support for something new with iTunes.
I for one am very happy with my iPod, (3G) I think the iPod Photo is to much for just photo support (big deal) slap a camara on it then we will talk…
Posted by Zardoz on October 27, 2004 at 1:14 PM (CDT)
I only wish that some bright thing could hack the 4G firmware, and make it run on a 3G, because that is just about the only real difference between them!

Picfx adds effects to your images
Picfx lets you play around with 47 different effects and 13 different styles with which to tweak your images, and adds some extras not found in other apps of this type.
Picfx lets you play around with 47 different effects and 13 different styles with which to tweak your images, and adds some extras not found in other apps of this type. As with most image manipulation apps, you can snap a fresh photo with your iPhone camera or import a picture from your photo library. Across the bottom of the screen are icons of leather-bound books, each of which represents a bunch of effects. The categories are broken up into Grunge, Classics, Textures, Light, Space, and Frames. Once you've selected a photo, the layout makes it easy to pick an effect from each category.
To add more options to the mix, you can also apply a style at any time in the process. To add a premade style, touch the Stylize button to bring up a dial that lets you choose options like Black & White, Sepia, and Warm styles. Stacking effects and styles gives you virtually unlimited combinations to experiment with.
What sets Picfx apart from the other apps in this collection are the ultrarealistic textures you can apply to your photos. One called peeled paint looks very realistic. In the Space category, there are interesting effects like Nebula, which adds a ghostly space scene. Though these may sound kind of superficial, when we started combining them with other effects, Picfx produced great results.
Overall, Picfx is a great app for adding effects to your images that you can share on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, or through e-mail. Though you don't have precise controls for adjusting the amount of each effect, being able to stack effects and styles gives you a large number of possibilities.

Huskies Take Down Dragons; Tie Team Record
The memorable season continued this past weekend for the number three ranked St. Cloud State wrestling team as they rolled over Minnesota State Moorhead by a score of 38-3 at Halenbeck Hall.
Gabe Suarez and Lucas Munkelwitz had pins for the Huskies in the big victory, the 15th of the year for SCSU. That number ties the team record for dual match wins in a season; a record set all the way back in the 1964-65 campaign.
The Huskies, who are now 15-2 on the year, will be in action next when they host Northern State on February 4th at Halenbeck Hall.

Susan "Honey" Mitchell (also Edwards) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Emma Barton. She made her first appearance in the show on 22 November 2005. It was reported on 19 April 2008 that Honey's character had been axed from the show,[1][2] and her last appearance was on 2 September 2008.[3] Barton reprised the role of Honey in 2014, and returned on 27 May 2014. However, she departed again on 6 June 2014.
Honey is introduced in November 2005, employed by Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) as a "honey trap" to see if her husband Patrick (Rudolph Walker) is willing to commit adultery. Honey causes confusion by mistaking Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) for Patrick, but truth prevails, and Honey and Billy become friends. Honey has aspirations to become a model. Billy helps her find employment, acting as her manager. Billy and Honey are attracted to each other, and after a period of trepidation, they finally confess their feelings and became a couple in December 2005. The following month, Honey falls pregnant. Overjoyed, Billy proposes and despite initial objections from her father, Jack (Nicky Henson), Honey says yes. When Jack discovers that Honey is pregnant, he tries to persuade her to abort her unborn child, convinced that she would share the same fate as her mother. Not wanting to lose Honey, Billy insists that she enquire about an abortion but a check-up reveals that Honey does not have the same heart defect as her mother, so there is no danger of her dying of the same cause. Honey is furious with Jack for making her so unnecessarily fearful about her health all her life, and chastises him for not getting her heart checked when she was a child. She eventually forgives her father, and begins enjoying the prospect of becoming a mother.
Honey and Billy's first attempt at getting married in June 2006 ends in disaster when Honey is admitted to hospital, due to food poisoning. They try again in July, but due to a series of unfortunate events — starting with a prank performed on Billy's stag night — the groom doesn't get to the ceremony on time. Their third attempt in September is arranged as a surprise by Peggy (Barbara Windsor). Honey is heavily pregnant and goes into labour, during the ceremony. As Billy leans in for a kiss after they are pronounced husband and wife, Honey reveals that her waters have broken. Honey gives birth to a girl, Janet (named after Honey's mother), but her happiness is short-lived when she discovers that Janet has Down's syndrome. Devastated, Honey rejects her baby, changing her name to Petal, as she does not have the "perfect" Janet she had wanted. Honey and Billy go to a support group for parents of children with Down's syndrome, but this depresses Honey further. She breaks down and destroys Petal's nursery, admitting to Billy that she wants to put Petal up for adoption. Billy is against this and their relationship suffers as a result. Honey tries, but cannot accept her baby and at her lowest ebb, considers smothering Petal with a pillow, but cannot do it. Petal is fostered by Tony (Enzo Squillino, Jr.) and Kim Smith (Lorraine Arnold) in December 2006, but the next day, Dr. May Wright (Amanda Drew) tells Billy that Petal needs a heart operation. Billy arranges for Petal to be baptised in case she does not survive, and after reading a heartfelt letter from Billy to Petal, Honey decides to keep her daughter after all. She attends the baptism and informs the vicar that the baby's name is Janet. Janet's operation is a success, and Honey begins to bond with her.
In March 2007, Honey discovers she is pregnant again. Billy is apprehensive, fearing that they might love the new baby more than Janet, but Honey soon reassures him and they look forward to the arrival of the second baby. However, in November 2007, Honey is knocked down whilst trying to stop Jase Dyer (Stephen Lord) being attacked, sending her into labour. She is rushed to hospital where she gives birth to a boy, who initially appears stillborn, but is resuscitated, and is named William after his father. The Mitchells are happy until December 2007, when their landlady, Manju Patel (Leena Dhingra), threatens to evict them. Billy is unable to raise their rent money and despite attempts to barricade themselves in the flat, Mrs. Patel evicts them, leaving the entire family homeless before Christmas. They are forced to rely on relatives and friends for accommodation, before being rehoused at Walford Towers. Money becomes an issue for the Mitchells again in August 2008. Desperate, Billy takes a job as a getaway driver for Jase, who is in league with Terry Bates (Nicholas Ball), the man responsible for the pub riot that caused Honey an injury the year before. The job is a ruse, set up by Terry as revenge on Jase; Jase is stabbed and killed. Honey is devastated to learn that Billy was indirectly involved in the incident that led to Jase's death, particularly when she discovers that instead of trying to rescue Jase, Billy hid in the bathroom in fear. She is further incensed to discover that Billy has kept Jase's "blood money". She throws Billy out, only agreeing to take him back when Billy donates the money to charity. Honey tells Billy she will take him back if he promises never to lie again. Billy does so, but when Honey discovers that Billy still has some of Jase's money, she decides that she can no longer trust him. She ends her marriage and leaves Walford with their children on 2 September 2008. Honey tells Billy that she will never stop him seeing the kids because she does not want to see them suffer because of their father's mistakes. In September 2008, it is revealed that Honey and the children are now living with Honey's father, Jack. In May 2010, it is mentioned that Honey and Jack have been involved in a car crash, and Billy is given temporary custody of Janet and William. Jack dies and Honey is left in a critical condition. It is then revealed that Honey has recovered, and has resumed custody of Janet and William.
Honey brings the children to visit Billy and asks to meet up with him. Billy assumes it is a date and confesses his love. Honey reveals that she wants to move to Canada for one year and take the children. Billy vows to stop her and destroys Janet's passport. Billy then abducts the children, but Phil convinces him to return. Honey agrees to let Janet stay with him while she takes William.
The character Honey Edwards was introduced in November 2005 by the executive producer Kate Harwood, as a love interest for Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick).[4] Actress Emma Barton was chosen to play the role in September 2005, after a successful screen test with Perry Fenwick.[5] Barton commented, "I can't wait to join EastEnders and play Honey. She's a really sweet girl, who always wants to do the best for everyone but she's not exactly the brightest star in the sky."[6] Barton was axed from the show in April 2008. A spokesperson for EastEnders said "Emma's a lovely actress, but we've just come to the end of her storyline. Honey will go this summer."[1]
A relationship between Honey and Billy quickly developed and, within two months, an upcoming baby had been written into the characters' narratives, with Honey announcing she was pregnant in January 2006.[7] The pregnancy was the start of an on-going storyline about Down's syndrome (DS) as, in September 2006, Honey and Billy's baby Janet was diagnosed with the disorder shortly after her birth. EastEnders' producers began to work on the DS plot in February 2006. Real parents with Down's syndrome children were approached to act as consultants in the making of the storyline, meeting with writers and the actors who play Billy and Honey.[8] On-screen, Honey was shown to be devastated, rejecting her baby and wanting to have her adopted, while Billy wanted to keep his daughter, placing strain on the couple, who married in the serial the day of Janet's birth.[9]
The Down's Syndrome Association (DSA) worked with EastEnders on the storyline. Their medical advisers were consulted about possible health problems that Billy and Honey's baby might encounter. According to the DSA in 2006, DS people are under-represented on mainstream television and EastEnders helped to redress that imbalance. The DSA used their influence to change certain elements of the scripts that they were unhappy with, such as persuading them to change the way Billy and Honey were told of their baby's diagnosis; however, they had no influence over the characters' reactions or the plot in general. For the first two weeks after Janet's diagnosis, the DSA provided a helpline for worried parents or anyone wanting advice about DS. EastEnders also provided a link to the DSA website from theirs, to ensure that people looking for information could find the association.[10]
The storyline was developed with characterisation in mind. Some characters, such as Peggy Mitchell, were shown to respond negatively towards the DS baby, views that were included so that the positive aspects could be voiced by the "more enlightened characters". The programme makers' main priority was to show the reality of having a child with the condition, "with all of its positives and negatives" and to "create awareness among thousands of people who know very little about Down's syndrome, who might have out-dated or prejudiced views." EastEnders took advice from DS organisations and families of DS people throughout. Care was taken to ensure that viewers empathised with Billy and Honey, to portray their journey in a "realistic way".[10]
The DSA have expressed their desire to see a Down's syndrome character becoming a permanent member of the EastEnders cast, as in their opinion "it would be a fantastic opportunity to bring Down's syndrome into mainstream awareness, and to present a 21st century picture of family life for those who have children with the condition." In 2006, EastEnders pledged that they intended for Billy and Honey's baby to grow up as any other baby would in the soap; however, it has been noted that the plot is dependent on the actors involved, and other practical problems that could arise. EastEnders pledged to make every effort to portray "a positive image of a family who have a baby with the condition."[10]
The episodes received criticism for inaccuracy.[11] Sue Jacob, a teacher at the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), said EastEnders presented a "poor picture of midwifery practice". During Janet's birth, Honey was refused an epidural while in pain, and later she was told that her baby had Down's syndrome alone, without her partner or family there to support her.[11] Jacob commented, "Women are vulnerable after giving birth and they need support systems in place [...] The person caring for her is repeatedly referred to as a nurse in the episode but there is no way that a nurse would be in charge after birth. The midwife would also have been open and honest and said 'We need to get the baby checked out and we will get your partner' [...] What the soaps do is set scenes which prompt people to talk about things which are affecting their lives. We are concerned people will wrongly think this Down's syndrome story shows what really happens, and that if you have a problem there is no one there to support you. Showing something like this is not helpful."[11][12] Furthermore, Jacob noted that Honey was left alone for a long time to worry about the baby, which appeared rigid, and not floppy, as Down's syndrome babies do.[11] In Jacob's opinion, a midwife would have been repeatedly in and out of the room to check on the mother. Additionally, one episode showed a health visitor reprimanding Honey for refusing Down's syndrome screening and Karen Reay, director of the Community Practitioners' and Health Visitors' Association called the episode "insensitive and patronising". She added that the episode contained "glaring anomalies", giving new mothers a "fictitious and misleading" view of health visitors, which could "damage relationships with health professionals".[12]
The BBC responded by saying, "EastEnders has undertaken a great deal of research to script the storyline of Billy and Honey giving birth to their baby daughter. EastEnders takes enormous care with its research and takes advice from experts in the given field. In addition, for this particular storyline EastEnders talked to numerous families with children who have Down's syndrome. Some of their experiences were depicted in these early episodes. Also closely involved was a senior midwife from a large UK general hospital who saw all scripts. In relation to some particular points raised, Honey was not denied an epidural - she made the choice to put herself out of reach of communicating effectively with the midwife by locking herself in the bathroom. When the news was broken to Honey and Billy that their baby had Down's syndrome, EastEnders has in fact drawn directly from one particular true-life story - and while this may indeed not be best practice it is worth saying that good drama does not necessarily come from best practice."[11] Despite the BBC's "extensive search" to cast a real baby with Down's syndrome for the birth episodes, they were unable to do so, resulting in the shots of the newborn baby being less authentic and limited.[11] The BBC added, "In the coming weeks Honey and Billy's child will be played by a baby with Down's Syndrome. It is worth noting that EastEnders has received incredibly positive feedback from the Down's Syndrome Association following the first few episodes, whom we are continuing to work with very closely." Carol Boys, chief executive of the Down's Syndrome Association, has confirmed that 40% of parents whose babies were diagnosed after birth were given no written or practical information about the condition, and 11% were told, as Honey was, by a midwife rather than a paediatrician: "The way in which Billy and Honey have learnt of their baby's disability, and their subsequent support from their health professionals, is not a best-practice model. However, neither is it an unrealistic situation. BBC researchers and scriptwriters have based the scenes on conversations with families who have children with Down's syndrome, and the scenes have struck a chord with thousands of our parent members across the country. Some health professionals hold outdated or prejudiced views about people with Down's Syndrome that prevent them from giving parents a balanced picture of what the future will hold for them."[11]
On 27 May 2014, Honey returned to EastEnders with her children to visit Billy.[13] The character appeared in the episode without any prior publicity to offer viewers an element of surprise, though Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins warned fans via his Twitter account that the episode would feature surprises. Frances Taylor of Digital Spy revealed that Barton had reprised the role on a temporary basis.[13] Kilkelly later revealed that Honey's return involves her informing Billy of her plans to move overseas. But Billy is unwilling to let her take his children away. A spokesperson told him that Billy will stop at nothing to keep his family nearby, but will his next move make everything worse?"[14]
In September 2006, Steve Frost, head producer of EastEnders' rival soap Coronation Street, publicly branded Honey and the Down's syndrome storyline as "Painful to watch [...] wooden and emotionless - crap." EastEnders' executive producer, Kate Harwood, defended the storyline, saying "We had incredible feedback on our Down's storyline. Fans were moved."[15]
Grace Dent, television critic for The Guardian, described the trio of "doomed weddings" between Billy and Honey in 2006 as an excuse to watch other television programmes "without ever feeling adrift from the Walford gossip [...] It was like Groundhog Day in a Pronuptia showroom. After a series of unfortunate events, the wedding would be scuppered. Honey would sob, Billy would do one of his "I try so hard to do the right thing" soliloquys and everyone in the Vic would be forcing down marzipan-coated fruit cake for weeks." Referencing the surprise third wedding when Honey was heavily pregnant, Dent said, "No one said that springing acute stress on Honey, a heavily pregnant woman, was plainly daft [...] each 30-minute episode spent with Honey and Billy now felt like an endurance test."[16] She has also described the coupling of Billy and Honey as akin to Billy and his former wife in the serial Little Mo Mitchell, saying "It's Billy and Little Mo all over again. Two dim-witted people, week-in, week-out, making lots of mistakes and getting the wrong end of the stick with farcical consequences. Everyone else is doing Brecht-lite, they're doing Terry & June [...] They're what the fast-forward 30x option on the Sky+ was made for."[17]
The scenes in which Honey was attacked were subject to heavy criticism in 2007, with Ofcom receiving 78 complaints from viewers about the level of violence displayed, and concerns for the safety of her baby. The media regulatory body stated that: "In Ofcom's view the violence was not appropriately limited for this time of the evening when many children are available to view television."[18] EastEnders was found to have breached the broadcasting code on this occasion, though the BBC defended itself by stating that there had been a gradual buildup to the event over several episodes, and that a content warning was aired prior to the episode's broadcast.[19]

tips for begginers
1st tip-watch carefully at your defeated enemies...you will know that each enemy leaves a cog after they become dead...look carefully.....because the cog impostor looks like a cog and can damage you when you take it..(note:the spot where the enemy died..the cog in its place is a real COG)
2nd tip-the best weapon to kill a shield bot is a flame thrower
3rd tip-once enemys are around you......use bomb
4th tip-killing a charger bot can be a breeze...go to an edge of the platform and wait till it charges..and when it fully charged and began to attack..turn left(or right) then he will fall from the platform
5th tip- i dont know if you will understand this cause my grammar is not so good.....use a spread cannon and make ur bot turn and turn like a hurricane....it will hit bots from many directions
6th tip-kill the magnet bot when you see one.....kill it before any other bots first...
7th tip-kill the lightbringer quickly if you dont want to be blinded by bright lights (wow shiny!!!!)
8th tip-once you see a nuke tank...attack it from afar so it will not damage you when you kill it
boss (stage 1 ) tip -better upgrade your gattling cannon before you face this big guy
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The Gameplay is very god, the music god and grafics gods. You are very god developing games.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Brilliant, with some minor problems...
Its a great game. Addictive with good graphics and an easy to use control system, but i have noticed that in the enemy database and achievements there are some spelling errors and duplicated descriptions (i.e. nuketank and shieldbot deflector)

No new additions to Practice Squad??? What does that mean?? Is Yates one who may be waived and end up there?? I am a bit surprised by not adding anyone..but maybe the Cap being at the top is an issue.
The cap is the issue, I believe there is only $38,500 of cap space left at this point and practice squad players do count toward the cap.
I don't see Yates getting waived unless we need to sign an injury replacement, BB is gearing up on OL for the playoffs.
Added cap space Yates being waived back to the PS would add space to the Patriots cap. His pay rate would go down. After Ross Tucker gets the plays down enough to be properly evaluated, and passes muster, the Pats may do so.
