text: Indie Stash Cast: The Karmaflow Interview Blane Humphries August 24, 2013 Indie Stash, Indie Stash Cast 2 Comments In this episode of the TwoDashStash Indie Stash Cast we interview Ivo van Dijk, the creative director and lead composer, of Karmaflow; the first rock opera video game ever created. Earlier we introduced you to Karmaflow, a platforming puzzle adventure game with a strong emphasis on music. We were able to catch up with Ivo about the project for an exclusive Indie Stash interview. In this interview Ivo shared his experiences with working so many talented musicians, some of the gameplay elements of Karmaflow, and much more. Will the lead singers of Cradle Filth, Dragonforce, Epica, Armanthe, The Agonist, and Metallium all come together for a big musical finally? Check out the interview to find out! – Karmaflow site. – Indiegogo page. UPDATE: The Karmaflow Indiegog campaign has ended. The team was able to raise just over $30,000 from the campaign and has started taking pre-orders through Paypal for those who are interested in the game but missed out on the Indiegogo campaign. UPDATE 2: Ivo made the following announcement on the game's Facebook page in regards to some of the musical talent he was trying to work with: "Hi all, So probably the 2 names people are requesting most to be part of Karmaflow, are Roy Khan and Tarja. Unfortunatly Tarja's manager let us know she is to busy the coming with promoting her new album. Roy Khan left Kamelot apparantly because live on the road was taking too much of a toll on him. Also he became a devout follower to God. We have been trying to get in touch with him, but I don't feel comfortable with the idea that the man probably might not want to be bothered. Now I have been a great fan of Kamelot for many years, and would more than love to have Roy participate in Karmaflow. He is actually the first singer we had on our list and created a character with in mind… But if he can't be found, he probably has his reasons… Cheers! Ivo" http://media.blubrry.com/tds/p/twodashstash.com/wp-content/uploads/podpress_temp/Indie%20Stash%20Cast_%20The%20Karmaflow%20Interview.mp3 Podcast: EmbedSubscribe: iTunes | Android | RSS Todd Black This game looks and sounds awesome!

CHARLESTON — A proposed piece of legislation intends to exempt pistols and rifles made in South Carolina from federal regulation as long as they stay in-state.
The Firearms Freedom Act, pre-filed earlier this month by state Sen. Lee Bright, would mean that firearms, ammunition and gun accessories made in South Carolina aren't subject to federal rules and oversight. Weapons made in South Carolina, the bill notes, must be stamped with the words "Made in South Carolina."
Bright, R-Roebuck, said his bill would allow South Carolina manufacturers to skirt federal regulations because the materials would not cross state lines. He introduced a similar proposal last session, but that measure died in committee.
The bill does not apply to firearms that cannot be carried or used by one person or that have a bore diameter greater than 1.5 inches. It also doesn't cover firearms that fire multiple projectiles by pulling the trigger, or one that uses ammunition that explodes after leaving the weapon.
Bright pre-filed the bill on Dec. 13, a day before massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults.
Eight other states have already approved similar proposals, and dozens of others are considering them. Legislation approved in Montana is being challenged in federal court.
State lawmakers reconvene in Columbia Jan. 8, and Bright said he has already received support for his proposal.

Collection: LA ENERGAIA: Energy Policy, Regulation and Dialog in Latin America
Description: This article discusses a new campaign that has been organized in defense of indigenous groups living in voluntary isolation ("uncontacted") in the South American Amazon. In January 2011, an Open Letter was sent to the governments of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela by Brazilian anthropologist Sydney Possuelo with the support of the Bolivia-based Forum on Environment and Development (FOBOMADE) and the Madidi Expedition, along with the signatures of 900 individuals. The letter was asking governments of the region to establish measures to protect the biological integrity and economic, social and cultural rights of these populations who are facing increasing pressure from oil, mining, hydroelectric, and other energy-related interests.

If things felt lethargic to you in August, you must not have been too keen on the downloadable games finding their way to the PlayStation Store – or the ones getting horribly lost and asking for directions to some nested nightmare in the current Xbox 360 dashboard.
Sony's efforts this year have been especially strong, with several standout games forming a loose alliance around music. The PlayStation Network hosted the debut of Dyad, a tumultuous, trippy shooter that puts your brain in a slingshot and fires it straight down a LED-lined tunnel. It's a product of Toronto's indie game scene and designer Shawn McGrath, who says it was relatively easy to gain Sony's stamp of approval.
Sony has also made somewhat of a Vita showpiece out of Sound Shapes, a vibrant musical platformer from another Toronto talent, Jonathan Mak. The game, which can be downloaded for Vita and PS3 after a single purchase, has been a hit with industry pundits ever since it was first shown off, and has only grown in profile with the addition of musical celebrities like Beck and Deadmau5.
This thematic lineup of PSN games has further distinguished Sony's store from Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, and cemented it as a playground for unique, experimental and creative games. That isn't to say PSN has become the exclusive domain for such gems (both platforms just got Rock Band Blitz), but it's a reassuring occurrence that's easy to take for granted and not often seen outside of the more indie-friendly PC. Only on the PlayStation Store will you find Papo & Yo, a surreal adventure derived from the designer's troubled relationship with his father, and Journey, one of the year's best and most elegant, expressive games.
The summer doldrums – rather, the period formerly known as the summer doldrums – are an ideal time to showcase all the work Sony has done to curate its store, which feels more and more like an eye-catching boutique next to Xbox Live Arcade's reliable but cluttered mega-mart. It also doesn't help that the latest Summer of Arcade, Microsoft's annual show of promotional favoritism to a month's worth of games, fizzled more often than it inspired.
Crowning the PSN as the victor in this instance is not as important as highlighting the ongoing battle for your time during retail's pre-holiday break. Downloadable console games are increasing in scale, scope and weirdness, and the two biggest digital stores are formulating distinct personalities and predilections. There's a welcome to-and-fro, even if it means the end of our annual summer respite.

Comment Re:Apple / Macintosh's ideal of a closed system (Score 1) 760 760
Your analogy falls apart in recent years though, when you look at the popularity of the iPad and iPhone. Still closed systems, but more "open" options still can't touch them, sales-wise. Probably because these devices aren't just for geeks anymore, and back in the day, a greater % of the PC-owning public was geeks that wanted to tinker with their systems. Now, the vast majority of people buying tablets and smartphones just want it to work - much like when you buy a car; only a small % of people are customizing it with their own after-market parts.
I would submit that the ratio hasn't changed much. There are plenty of people who are willing to follow some online instructions (they have it so easy, these days) to fix issues and plenty of others who love the idea of rooting and putting different OS images onto their devices. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many of these people couldn't puzzle through IRQ conflicts or work a soldering iron if they had to, but something step by step demystifies it to a considerable degree.
The Wintel stuff suffered from the same Apple dominance but eventually came around when some clear front runners emerged, either in the form of strong word of mouth and catalog advertising (Gateway 2k) or in the form of big box electronics retailers pushing a few brands (Best Buy et al). I'd say that there is one other thing that Wintel had going for it which may be a factor going forward: The lack of Steve Jobs at the helm of Apple.
The next few years should be very interesting in the world of tablets.

Sudo logs commands that were run, by whom, and when.

It's also a handy way of telling if someone screwed something up or if j00 wuz pwndz.
To me, running around as root and not using sudo is like using vi to look at a config file you have no intention of editing or similar. It's too easy to slip up and do something wrong once you get "in the groove". Add a page at 4am to that or a situation where you're at the tail end of a 30 hour emergency maint and it's beyond easy to screw things up.

Anger at Derby rail station as commuters hit out at above-inflation fares rise
Posted: January 03, 2013|
A CALL for the renationalisation of the railways has followed the latest above-inflation rail fare increase.
With many people making their first commute of the new year, there was anger at Derby railway station at the 3.9% average rise.
Nathan Coughlan, a student from Belper, was travelling to Edinburgh with his partner, Ese Tweddle, 24.
The 23-year-old said: "It's all Thatcher's fault. We should renationalise the railways. We already pay for them as it is. I travel to Stoke every day and that costs £5.50, which is really good value.

"But the service is so poor. You only ever get one carriage between Derby and Stoke.
"It's a main line and it's just not good enough."
The increase, which came into effect yesterday, is partly dictated by the Government – which states that certain fares, including season tickets, must increase by inflation plus 1% – and partly by the train operating companies.
Alex Rock, 26, who travels from Dudley every day to work as engagement officer at Quad, said: "I have an hour-and-a-half commute each day, which has two connections.
"But, if the trains are late, as they often are, then that can be up to two-and-a-half hours on a bad day.
"I really can't see what we are getting for the increase in the fares."
Andrzej Michalski, a chef at the Bean Cafe, in Ford Street, Derby, travels from Loughborough.
He said: "I don't have a choice about whether I use this service. I don't drive so I have to pay.
"The trains are getting so overcrowded as well. I have a weekly travel card and three or four times a week I have to stand."
There were also protests at Derby and Matlock rail stations against the increases by an alliance of groups called Derby Climate Coalition.
Peter Robinson, secretary of Shift, one of the groups, said: "We have one of the most expensive but worst rail systems in Europe.
"We should be making it easier to travel by train for the good of the climate."
Michael Roberts, chief executive of the Association of Train Operating Companies, said: "We understand commuters don't like to pay more to travel to work but it is the Government that decides how much season tickets should rise. Successive governments have required train companies to increase the average price of season tickets since 2004 by more than inflation."

I love this carrier! I use it at home, while I'm on the go. It's so easy to put on and take off. Makes life easier! My son loves to be in it as well. The only thing I wish is that the straps had a little more cushion to them. Other than that I love love love this product.

Hands down the best carrier I've ever owned. It's so comfy for both mommy and baby. It's also so easy to breastfeed in. I love our Onya!!
Posted by Jen on 17th Mar 2012
I would like to express my thanks to Onya for making such an amazing baby carrier. I have some low back pain and the other carriers I have tried are hard on my back. Not with Onya, it really adds the support I need to be able to carry my peanut pain free. I love the 2 in 1 design of the added baby chair, it allows me to have a seat for my little one anywhere we go! She is really comfortable in the carrier and never fusses when close to me in our Onya. I hope the word travels fast and more people find out how great Onya Baby carriers are. I can attest you won't be disappointed! In my opinion its the best on the market! I absolutely LOVE it. Go ONYA and thank you!

Corpus Christi Police receive several complaints about disputes with auto mechanic shops
Auto Theft Task Force offers tips to protect residents
The Corpus Christi Police Department's Auto Theft Task Force would like to warn the public to check references for an auto mechanic before placing a vehicle in a shop for repairs.
The Task Force supervisor, Lieutenant Chris White, said his office has received several complaints recently about disputes with auto mechanic shops which are not criminal, but must seek civil remedy in the civil court system. Lt. White said the best practice to avoid certain problems with repair shops is to check references of the shop before placing the vehicle for repairs. Vehicle repair shops may be checked for reputation by previous customers and from the Better Business Bureau. Customers should check the shop for a website and ask familiar people if they have had any work done at the particular shop.
The following is a statement of what the Attorney General's office recommends:
Texas has no comprehensive statute specifically governing auto repairs. However, the Deceptive Trade Practices/Consumer Protection Act includes some sections which deal with auto repairs. Under this law, it is illegal to:
Knowingly make a false or misleading statement about the need for parts or repair service.
State that work has been done or parts were replaced when that is not true.
Represent that goods are original or new, when in fact they are second-hand or refurbished.
How Do I Protect Myself?
Your best protection from fraud and faulty repair work is to find a reputable mechanic or repair shop before your car needs to be repaired.
Ask your friends if they know of a reliable mechanic. After you've selected some repair shops, call the Better Business Bureau or the Office of the Attorney General in your area and ask if anyone has complained about the shops you are considering. Ask the shops for the names of customers you can contact to see if they are satisfied with the shops' work.
Authorization To Inspect Before Work Is Done
You should get a written authorization to tow, inspect, test drive, diagnose, or disassemble any part of your car for the purposes of providing an estimate of repair costs, prior to towing the vehicle and prior to the inspection, test drive, diagnosis, or any disassembly. This authorization should state the following:
a description of the towing, inspection, test drive, diagnosis, or disassembly;
the charges for the towing, inspection, test drive, diagnosis, disassembly, storage, and any other charges if you elect not to have the work done after the estimate of repairs costs is disclosed to you;
whether these charges will be added or included with the cost of repairs;
that the authorization for the inspection, test drive, diagnosis, or disassembly, does not constitute authorization of repairs;
that the commencement of repairs must be authorized by a separate repair order;
that all parts replaced or removed from the vehicle during inspection will be saved and placed in a plastic bag in the trunk of the vehicle or other suitable place where you can access them; and
an indication of whether your vehicle will be in any state of disassembly when returned to you if you elect not to authorize the repair work and the charges for reassembly without repairs.
Do not sign any form authorizing inspection, test drive, diagnosis, or disassembly that does not cover these items.
Authorization To Begin Repair Work
You may be asked to sign both the authorization to inspect and the authorization to commence repair work at the same time. The authorizations may be on the same piece of paper, but they should require a separate signature. Read each one carefully before signing. The authorization to commence repairs should also include the date and time that you signed the form. If you decide to have repairs made, make sure the initial work order clearly specifies all of the following information:
the repair work to be done,
the specified fee for the specified work which includes the price for the parts, the price for the labor, the fee for storage, and any other charges,
an indication of whether the replacement parts will be new or rebuilt, and whether there will be a charge for the "core" of parts such as alternators or starters which you may wish to keep,
the date by which repairs will be completed,
the terms of any warranty, including the duration of the warranty, the parts and labor warranted, and the exclusions of the warranty,
an indication of whether the repairs will be paid for in cash, by check, by credit card, or through any another form of financing;
if the repairs are to be financed, the terms of payment, including the loan approval from the financing company and the amount of the down payment, the dates for payment, all financing terms including the amount financed, the annual percentage rate, the monthly payment, and the number of monthly payments;
an indication that all parts which will be replaced or removed from the vehicle during the repair will be saved and placed in a plastic bag in the trunk of the vehicle, or else that they will be identified and exchanged for new parts;
your signature approving the commencement of repair work and the method of payment.
Things You Should Not Do
You should not disclose your credit card account number, driver's license number, or any other personal information unless you clearly specify that giving the information is only for loan approval purposes, or unless you have approved the work, the work is finished, and you are ready to pay for it. You should clearly indicate in writing that giving this information does not constitute an authorization to inspect or repair your vehicle. The authorization to inspect or repair is a completely separate authorization that should also require your signature. Deceptive shops will extract this personal information from you, commence work without your authorization, and then claim that you authorized the work because you provided this information and would not have done so unless you had authorized the repairs.
You should not leave valuables in your car.
You should not allow anyone to speak for you in negotiating car repairs on your vehicle. Deceptive shops will use this as an excuse to add on extra charges, on the grounds that your son, boyfriend, sister, or some other person authorized the repairs.
You should not allow your car to be inspected, disassembled, or lifted up on a rack until you have obtained a copy of the inspection authorization forms with your signature showing the information outlined above.
You should not assume that a friendly smile and a friendly verbal agreement will get your car fixed without arguments, lawsuits, or repossessions. Get everything in writing.
Common Scams
Some of the common ways that deceptive auto repair shops will unfairly separate you from your money are by:
waiting until the vehicle is up on the lift and partially disassembled before getting your authorization to proceed with the repairs. By then, you are essentially forced to: (a) authorize overpriced repairs or risk getting your car back in a disassembled and unusable condition; or (b) pay a large and unexpected fee to have your vehicle reassembled, only to discover it no longer runs at all.
showing you dirty oil with metal filings in it as evidence that you need a new transmission. Virtually all used transmissions have dirty oil with some amount of dirt and metal filings. This is normal and is not necessarily a sign that you need a whole new transmission. However, once the transmission is disassembled and reassembled with the same old seals and parts, it usually does not work the same as before.
commencing repair work on your car without first getting your authorization to perform the repair work, and then charging you for repair work which you did not authorize,
giving you a verbal estimate as to the cost of repairs, then charging a higher price.
representing that repair services will be completed by a certain day in order to induce the sale, then failing to have the repair services completed by that day.
telling you that repairs are needed when in fact they are not needed.
failing to disclose re-assembly or inspection charges before starting repair work.
advertising that the shop will provide "Free towing" and then requiring you to pay for your own towing costs.
telling you that the shop will provide a free rental car during repairs and then requiring you to pay for the rental charges.
telling you that the shop will provide repair services pursuant to a warranty then charging you for repair work covered by the warranty.
representing that work or services have been done, or parts replaced in your car, when the work or services were not done or the parts were not replaced.
starting repair work on your car before obtaining authorization from you, then charging you for it.
starting repair work before obtaining written approval of the loan from the finance company, in those instances where you borrow money to pay for repairs. If the loan company does not approve the loan, and the work is already done, you may still be liable for the payment if you can't show the deception.
failing to complete the repairs as represented to you in the repair work agreement.
failing to repair your car in accordance with the warranty provided after your car is brought to the shop for warranty repairs.
failing to notify you and secure your additional approval, in writing, for any additional work to be done that was not set forth in the original written agreement.
representing or advertising that the shop will accept consumer credit cards or personal or business checks as payment for goods and services, and then refusing to accept credit cards or checks.
Resolving Disagreements Over The Bill
If the charge is much higher than the estimate, or if the work was done without your authorization and you feel that you have been overcharged, question the bill. Have the shop write out the reasons for the difference in cost, and keep this written explanation together with the work estimate, final bill, and other paperwork. Make sure the mechanic returns your old parts. (The mechanic may return some parts, such as alternators and brake shoes, to the parts supplier for a refund, so you may not be able to get all of them.)
Even if you are unsatisfied with the mechanic's explanation of the difference between the estimate and the final charge, or feel you have been cheated, pay the bill, making clear that you do not agree to it. You can then file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and/or file a small claims court law suit against the mechanic.
If you refuse to pay a repair bill — even a bill in dispute — the mechanic has the legal right to keep your car until you pay. Even if you feel cheated, you should not pay with a check so you can regain possession of your car and then stop payment on the check — your vehicle may still be repossessed.
If you suspect that the repair shop has violated the law, and you can't get them to resolve the problem to your satisfaction, your first step should be to take your car to another repair shop. Give the second mechanic a copy of your itemized receipt and order an inspection of the alleged repairs and parts. Get this report in writing. If you notice the same problem with your car is recurring, or find a new problem that should not have arisen, you will be in a better position to negotiate a refund from the first mechanic if you get a second mechanic's opinion of the work done – in writing.
How Do I Report Fraud?
If you have an auto repair problem that the shop will not correct, the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection office and the Better Business Bureau both offer a complaint resolution process to help resolve your problem.

Why restrict yourself to inline images and static text, especially in our multidevice, multiplatform era? Responsive media allows you to share more content with more people. Learn what you need to know to build image- and typography-rich pages (with HTML5 video!) that display correctly on a wide variety of devices. Christopher Schmitt will also show you how to convert fixed-width layouts into fluid grid layouts that adapt to different screen sizes, use media queries to deliver custom design experiences, and prepare and retrieve PNG, JPEG, and SVG images so that they look their best.
Hi, I'm Christopher Schmitt and welcome to Responsive Media. In this course we'll look at the basics of responsible design, followed by how to influence type, video, vector, and raster images to better take advantage of this new multi device web. We'll start by showing you the basics of responsible design. First we'll convert a fixed width layout into a fluid grid layout so it can adapt to different devices and their screens. To compliment that approach we'll talk about how media queries can be used to pinpoint custom design experiences for the different sizes of the user screen.
After that, we'll work on how to adjust native HTML5 video. And third party players, for better presentation, and a responsive design. Then I'll focus on familiar web image formats, like png and jpeg, along with newer vector image format, svg, in the context of responsive web design, and how to prepare and serve them.

In the upscale residential neighborhood of San Isidro
The Sonesta Hotel is located in San Isidro, an upscale residential neighborhood next to Miraflores. Like Miraflores, it attracts tourists with its many bars, restaurants, and shops. The hotel is at the northwest corner of Parque El Olivar (a lovely park lined by ancient olive trees), and within walking distance of the golf course and ancient temple ruins.
The 134-room Sonesta El Olivar is a high-end choice in the upscale residential neighborhood of San Isidro. Aside from its safe, walkable location, the hotel stands out for its long list of on-site amenities: a fitness center, a salon, a business center with free coffee and cookies, a spacious rooftop pool, two tasty restaurants, and 24-hour room service. Rooms are large, with massive flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, minibars, and fresh flowers (a nice touch), but the beige-heavy decor -- with some dated furniture and sparsely adorned walls -- isn't as luxurious as one may expect from a four-pearl hotel.

It is very specific for women and its very specific to the needs that have been identified in order for women to be successful in the workforce, said Pittman, Executive Director of the Womens Institute for Global Leadership.
The program officially launched last June. The classes meet on weekends every couple of weeks. In between the students do coursework online. The non-traditional schedule gives the students, working professionals of all ages and fields, a chance to both work and learn.
All the other programs were very traditional and I knew I wanted then to continue, but this could really help me in my career path so I really felt that it was a perfect fit, said Dana Wright, a student.
The two-year program empowers women to lead, starting in the classroom. Instead of sitting through long lectures, these women take charge of their own learning and use their own backgrounds and experiences as examples in class.
What they teach us is that we are all leaders, said Jacqueline Burns, a student. A lot of women dont realize that. For me as a woman working in a male dominated department, its kind of hard to shine sometimes and to get your point across.
Students go through the courses in tight-knit groups. The program doesnt create a competition with men. Instead it helps women value who they are and what they have to contribute.
This program has taught me to be a change agent, said Burns. It has taught me how to work with diverse teams.
Not only are we learning but we are spreading our wings and getting out there all over the place and just being a part of something bigger than we ever expected, said Wright.
At the end of the program, the graduates receive a Master of Science in Leadership, and much more.
They walk away with confidence, said Pittman. They walk away knowing who they are. That is the expectation and if thats not occurring, then we failed because that should be occurring.
Pittman hopes that when students graduate, they feel the program was a transformational experience. In May, 16 students will make up the programs first graduating class.

text: Buxom Door's Unlocked Hold the Line Eyeliner ($17.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "metallic purple." It's a brightened, medium-dark violet purple with fuchsia undertones and a satiny sheen. In a single pass, it had rather weak color payoff, and it was only buildable to about semi-opaque color (about 80%). The consistency was a bit drier compared to other shades, though it wore well for ten hours before starting to thin. Urban Decay Ransom is very similar. MAC Designer Purple is darker, less fuchsia-toned. See comparison swatches.

Despite having more possession and the lion's share of the chances, the Black Cats couldn't break the deadlock and missed an opportunity to secure a vital three points.
And Poyet was left to rue what might have been as his side remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table.
"We deserved to win the game. We don't get any breaks, we are getting nothing," he told Sky Sports.
"I said it two weeks ago when we played Villa, and this was away.
"Today from the first minute we were having chances, having shots, one-on-ones, and when you are at the bottom, you need to take those chances.
"Today we have 19 shots, and how we don't score, I don't know."
The result means that Sunderland remain bottom of the league, and are without a win in their last five matches.
"We need the wins playing like that. I am waiting for an ugly win," Poyet added.
"When we play well, and don't win it is a little bit tough, but I need to be pleased with the way we played."

Pomona College Performance of "Ungrateful Daughter: One Black Girl's Story of Being Adopted Into a White Family...That Aren't Celebrities" on Sept. 25
Writer and activist Lisa Marie Rollins, who has been featured on CNN, NPR and KPFK Los Angeles, will perform her critically acclaimed solo show, "Ungrateful Daughter: One Black Girl's Story of Being Adopted Into a White Family...That Aren't Celebrities," at Pomona College's Seaver Theatre (300 E. Bonita Ave., Claremont) on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. There will be a Q&A with the artist following the performance. This event is free and open to the public.
Using storytelling and spoken word poetry, humor and rage, Rollins will examine her life as a black girl adopted into a white family in relation to the fad of high-profile celebrity adoptions of black children—such as Angelina Jolie's and Brad Pitt's or Madonna's adoptions—questioning its merits, exploring ideas about Haitian and Ethiopian orphans, and discussing the myth of colorblind love.
The San Francisco Weekly wrote, "These are the kinds of jokes that can cause you to wobble even as you laugh."
"Ungrateful Daughter" was an official selection of the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival and is the recipient of the James Irvine New Works Grant, the City of Oakland Cultural Arts Grant and the Zellerbach Family Foundation Artist Grant. She has performed "Ungrateful Daughter" across the country at theatres, universities and academic conferences.
Rollins is the founder and executive director of AFAAD (Adopted and Fostered Adults of the African Diaspora) and was named one of Colorlines magazine's "Innovators to Watch." She was poet in residence at June Jordan's Poetry for the People at UC Berkeley in 2010-2011 and published in the anthology, Other Tongues: Mixed-Race Women Speak Out (2010).
This event was organized by Valorie Thomas, professor of English and Africana studies, in association with her fall 2012 course Eng/Africana 122: "Healing Narratives." This event is co-sponsored by Pomona College Public Events, the Pomona College English Department, Pomona College's Gender and Women's Studies Program, the Claremont Colleges Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies, the Draper Center for Community Partnerships, the Pomona College Department of Religious Studies, the Pomona College Asian American Resource Center, and the Claremont Colleges Office of Black Student Affairs (OBSA), and The Pacific Basin Institute (PBI). For more information, contact Prof. Valorie Thomas at email@example.com, or the Pomona College Department of English at (909)-607-2212.

bone-in chicken breast halves, skinless
1 (14.5 ounce) can
chicken broth
yellow onion
3 stalks
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 cups
frozen mixed vegetables
1 to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 (9 inch)
frozen prepared pie crust, thawed
Made this delicious recipe last night with a few modifications. I used "Basic Flaky Pie Crust" from this site instead of pre-made crust, and used fresh mushrooms, carrots, brocolli, beans instead of their frozen counterparts. I also added granulated onion, some thyme, cheddar cheese, and used only one large potatoe (any more would be overkill). I didn't have any pie tins to accomodate this big pie, so used a 9x13 casserole instead and it turned out great. If you are looking for a good chicken pot pie recipe, you can trust that this one will exceed your expectations.
I used the base recipe, but excluded the potatos and used fresh vegetables, carrots, pepppers, mushrooms with the celrey and onions. I added a bit of hot sauce for additional flavor. I liked the single crust recipe for reduced fat.

I love that the filling has no "cream of" something soup. I usually had more chicken and veggies and make 2 pies for my family. And I use whatever veggies I have on hand at the time. It's a big hit here. I poach my chicken breasts in a pot of water with onion and celery and garlic and pepper corns and bay leaves...whatever sounds good at the time. Then I strain that liquid and use it as my chicken broth later, too.
This is a great basic recipe if you want to make a pot pie without using heavy soups or creams. I changed it a fair amount (mostly b/c I didn't have all the ingredients)& it turned out great. I added 3 cloves of smashed garlic to the chicken water instead of garlic powder & I didn't have any frozen veggies or celery so I just used a combo of potatoes, baby carrots (which I added to the boiling potatoes) & onions. Also, instead of a pie crust I topped with biscuit dough. I only cooked it for approx 30 mins and it was perfect. Great recipe...both my kids loved it.
Yum! What a great recipe. Yes, it is time consuming, but totally worth it. I made a few changes to the reciple, and it turned out great. 1) I used boneless breasts because that's all I had. 2) I added more garlic salt, a half of a bay leaf, seasoning salt, and pepper to the boiling chicken. 3) I added 6 ounces more chicken broth than called for 4) While the chicken broth/veggie mixture was cooking, I added a few drops of cornstarch mixed with cold water to thicken it. Next time, I will buy an additional pie crust, because there is plenty of filling for two.
I really changed the recipe. I used all frozen mixed vegetables, I cut up one stalk celery, 1/3 c. frozen onions, satueed them in the butter, added 2 c. frozen vegetables and 1 c. frozen chunk hashbrowns. Cooked for about 5 minutes, then added the flour, cooked until it was a little thick. I added the chicken broth and milk to this, cooked until it became thick. Seasoned it with pepper and celery seed. I used the 9 inch pie crust, rolled it a little to fit a 10" pie pan, topped it with the other crust, (because other reviews said it made too much filling.) baked it for 45 min. at 350. It was delicious! Will make again.
This recipe was very good. I used 2 pastry shells and put one into the pie plate and used the other on top. I also added some various other vegetables and made sure to mix the chicken broth with cornstarch, for a little extra thickness. It was good served over white rice.
This was my first pot pie venture. My husband loved it. Although, we both thought there were too many potatoes. Next time I will just use one large potato and more veggies. I used a store bought crust, one on top and one on bottom. Turned out beautifully.

Updated at 5:00 p.m. on Nov. 23 to reflect continuing legislation.
Medical treatment that would prevent a disease or identify it at an early stage.
Executive Summary
Modern preventive medicine goes back at least as far as the advent of vaccines in 18th-century England, but as a matter of public policy in America, its potential didn't begin to emerge on a wide scale until late in the 20th century, when tobacco- and obesity-related diseases began to change the public's attitude toward prevention.
Preventive services have come to encompass broader areas such as encouraging tobacco cessation, promoting healthy lifestyles and screening and testing for cancer and other diseases in their earliest stages.
As a result, "prevention has finally moved into the mainstream of medicine," said Dr. Diana Petitti, vice chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Much emphasis has been placed on preventive services as a way to drive down health care costs, especially by Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee chairman Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. With better prevention, acute and expensive health procedures can be avoided, thus saving money while improving the population's overall quality of life.
Much emphasis has been placed on preventive services as a way to drive down health care costs. With better prevention, acute and expensive health procedures can be avoided, thus saving money while improving the population's overall quality of life.
But as with extending disease-management services to more people, the vast majority of benefits that preventive services promise will only be realized long after the initial costs are incurred, complicating the balance sheet.
"The time horizon for the payoffs of prevention is long," Petitti said.
Also, blanket statements about the cost-saving capabilities of preventive services can be inaccurate. The New England Journal of Medicine notes "screening costs will exceed the savings from avoided treatment in cases in which only a very small fraction of the population would have become ill in the absence of preventive measures. Preventive measures that do not save money may or may not represent cost-effective care (i.e., good value for the resources expended)."
The bottom line, Petitti said, is for lawmakers and others to recognize the necessity of using preventive mechanisms to keep people from getting ill, as opposed to treating them later. The challenge lies in finding a way to do so while keeping costs in the black.
Max Savings
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that basing Medicare's coverage of preventive services on evidence of effectiveness would save $360 million by 2014 and $850 million over 10 years. However, CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf noted in his March 10 report to a House subcommittee that "a preventive service could be cost-reducing overall, but if the government began providing that service for free, federal costs would probably increase -- largely because many of the payments would cover costs for care that would have been received anyway."
Works Best When Combined With
As with disease-management services, preventive services of all kinds have become mainstream due in large part to technological breakthroughs. Measuring quality of care also correlates to preventive services through the Deming approach, which advocates a continuous cycle of treatment that aims to detect and treat ailments at an early stage.
Both House and Senate bills address and encourage preventative services. They expand grants for wellness programs, lower co-pays for necessary screenings and have Medicare reimburse for all necessary preventative screenings. In addition, both bills establish councils to explore and encourage community wellness and prevention initiatives.

Stetched up
Filed: Thursday, 31st August 2006
By: Matthew O'Greel
West Ham have confirmed their first transfer deadline day purchase - young Czech goalkeeper Marek Stech.
16-year-old Stech joins the Hammers from Sparta Prague for an undisclosed fee, and is said to be highly rated in his home country.
Real Madrid were also thought to be interested in the younster, so his signing represents a real coup for the Hammers.
Talking in May about his future, Stech said:
"I have an offer from West Ham and from several English and French teams, and to be watched by Real Madrid is something that fills me with pride.
"I hope to one day be able to be like Petr Cech, who is succeeding at Chelsea. I have videos of him because I see myself as his mirror."
West Ham goalkeepeing coach Ludo Miklosko - himself a Czech - is thought to have been instrumental in closing the deal.

Study: Retirees can benefit W.Va. economy
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A recent study says West Virginia is an attractive place for retirees and more could be done to entice them to live in the state.
Expanding efforts to attract retirees is among the top strategies recommended by the West Virginia Ten Year Tourism Plan. Arlington, Va.-based AECOM Technical Services Inc. conducted the study for the state Division of Tourism.
According to the study, West Virginia offers proximity to family and friends and an affordable cost of living. These are key factors that retirees consider in choosing a retirement location.
The study also says West Virginia can capitalize on the trend of travelers taking more trips that are shorter.
Tourism Commissioner Betty Carver tells the Charleston Daily Mail that every county has tourism potential.

Two leading German climate change scientists are moving through the United States this week, seeking to convince policymakers and politicians that rising temperatures will cause dire international security consequences.
From border disputes to large-scale migration to the collapse of governments and rampant religious radicalization, Dirk Messner and Meinhard Schulz-Baldes are sounding the alarm that left unchecked, global warming threatens to destabilize the world.
"Climate policy is not only environmental policy. It's preventive security policy," said Schulz-Baldes, secretary general of the German Advisory Council on Global Change.
The two are among the authors of "World in Transition: Climate Change as a Security Risk." Published last year, the 213-page report -- of which the scientists presented a scaled-down version to officials in New York and Washington this week -- is considered one of the leading international studies on the threats climate change poses to governments. Achem Steiner, executive director of the U.N. Environment Programme, called it the group's "flagship report."
But with all eyes on the United States as the 2009 climate change talks in Copenhagen approach, the question remains: Are U.S. policymakers buying the link?
Schulz-Baldes and Messner acknowledged that in meeting with House and Senate lawmakers, ambassadors and U.N. officials over the past several days, they have been largely preaching to the converted. Still, they said, the message is one that bears repeating -- particularly because change, if it is going to happen, needs to occur quickly.
If the earth's temperature goes up between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius in the next century, Schulz-Baldes noted, "it is the difference between today and the Ice Age." Without a giant step toward lowering emissions now, he warned, the beginning of international destabilization is only a decade away. Higher temperatures might not materialize until the later part of the century, but by then, he said, the rising sea levels, food and water shortages and increases in frequency of both floods and droughts will already have been set in motion.
"In 10 or 15 years it will be unmanageable," he said.
The report identifies six threats climate change presents to international stability, and migration is at the top of the list. With rising sea levels poised to displace as many as 7 million people in the towns and urban areas in the north of the Nile Delta, and with 100 million people endangered in Bangladesh alone, Messner said it is only a matter of time before developed nations have to address massive global migration.
"Politically it's very sensitive. Nobody wants to talk about a new migration regime because it's political suicide," he said. But, he noted, for the United States the implications will be critical.
"People are going to be on the move from the north," he said. "The destabilization of regions throughout the world is a threat to the United States."
The findings of the German report are not entirely new in the United States. Last year, a group of retired American military officers issued a similar warning of the threats climate change could pose to international stability. Meanwhile, E.U. leaders earlier this month pledged to put climate change's impact on global security high on the international agenda.
"We need to develop a better understanding of the implications of climate change for European foreign and security interests," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
Schulz-Baldes and Messner said they do think that the international community can be mobilized, united possibly by the looming threat to global security.
Still, said Schulz-Baldes, "we have to start now."

Deer-in-the-headlights stares are what I see when I suggest to many of my clients they need to start a blog.
"Who, me?" they ask. "I don't have time for a blog."
Really? You have time for your Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and other networking events, but you aren't making time to connect directly with your customers? How often do you really get to talk to the people who walk into your business? A blog allows you to directly connect with your audience without going through traditional media channels: want to offer a coupon? Do it on your blog. Want to send out a press release? Post it to your blog. Want to let people know about your newest promotion, staff member, or company news? Yep, put it on your blog! None of these options were available before blogging: you had to go through print media, radio or television. Which took a major chunk of your marketing budget. Blogging software is free. What are you waiting for?
Here are my Top Ten Reasons Local Business Owners Need to Be Blogging
- Blogs increase your SEO better than any other social media platform, period. Google and other search engines index blogs more frequently than static websites or social networks (many of which aren't indexed by Google at all).
- Blogs drive traffic to your website and are much easier to maintain. You don't need to be a geek to write a blog.
- Blogs allow you to reach an international audience at no cost except your time. Try that with traditional media.
- Blogs serve as the hub of a Social News Network (SNN) for your company, and you can repurpose your blog content onto your Facebook page, Twitter account, and LinkedIn profile. You can even automatically feed your blog content to both Facebook and LinkedIn.
- Blogs invite feedback from customers in a way that's often difficult to do in person. While face-to-face communication is always best, how often do you get to connect, in person, with your clients? My favorite restaurant's chef is so busy in the kitchen I never see her, but we can connect on her blog.
- Blogs allow your customers to get to know your team. Let your staff write blog posts every so often, so your customers can hear from your terrific staff and look forward to seeing their smiling faces.
- Blogs allow you to control your message. You don't have to wait for a reporter to write the article and cover your business. You can do it.
- Blogs help you compete with the big guys. Local business owners often suffer when the big box stores move to town. A blog allows you to compete on the same scale online and even outshine them, if you do it well.
- Blogs let your personality shine through to your audience. People do business with other people, period. Let potential customers get to know you and your team, and they are far more likely to purchase from you.
- Blogs build an online audience for your product and allow you to connect on a regular basis with your customers. Readers can subscribe to your blog and get automatic updates anytime you write a new post.
So, what are you waiting for? Get blogging! Register for my Social Media for Your Small Business workshop, Feb. 23, in the Pickens County Chamber Board Room to get started in social media.

Winter Safety
"While winter activities provide children with amusement during the colder months, they can also be life-threatening," says Beth Washington of Safe Kids Tulsa. "Parents and caregivers should keep a watchful eye on winter play, limit outdoor playtime when temperatures are frigid and be sure their children dress appropriately for the winter."
Safe Kids Tulsa Area recommends the following suggestions to help keep your children safe.
Winter Drowning
Most parents associate drowning with summer months, but the increased use of hot tubs and whirlpools, as well as the danger of hidden bodies of water or weak ice make winter drownings a risk as well. To reduce the risk of drowning, parents and caregivers should:
Supervise children in or near a pool, hot tub or any body of water.
Beware of children overheating in hot tubs and whirlpools
Make sure pools and spas are secure. If you have a pool or spa, install four-sided isolation fencing that is at least five feet high. The fence should have a self-closing and self-latching gate. Do not use the exterior of the house as one side of the fence.
Allow children to skate only on ponds or lakes that have been approved for skating.
Exposure to cold without the adequate protection can result in frostbite. Parents can protect their children by following these precautions:
Dress children warmly. Several thin layers will help children dry as well as warm. Clothing should consist of thermal long johns, turtlenecks, one or two shirts, pants, sweater, coat, warm socks, boots, gloves or mittens, and a hat.
Set reasonable time limits on outdoor play. Call children in periodically to warm up with drinks such as hot chocolate.
When possible, avoid taking infants outdoors when it is colder than 40F. Infants lose body heat quickly.
If a child complains of numbness or pain in the fingers, toes, nose, cheeks or ears while playing in the snow, or if his skin is blistered, hard to the touch or glossy, be alerted to the possibility of frostbite and take the following steps:
Take the child indoors.
Call a doctor.
Tell the child to wiggle the affected body part(s) to increase blood supply to that area.
Warm the frozen part(s) against the body. Hold fingers to the chest, for example.
Immerse frozen part(s) in warm, not hot, water. Frozen tissue is fragile and can be damaged easily. Avoid warming with high heat from radiators, fireplaces or stoves, and avoid rubbing or breaking blisters.
Pedestrian Safety
Slippery driveways and sidewalks can be particularly hazardous in the winter. Keep them well shoveled, and apply material such as rock salt or sand to improve traction.
Make sure that children under age 10 do not cross streets alone, and make sure children wear appropriate shoes and brightly colored (not white) clothing while walking in snowy conditions. Use reflective clothing or stickers for maximum protection, especially at dawn and dusk.
Kids can suffer serious head injuries from sledding, and should always wear a helmet. When sledding, do not go down a hill head-first. Sit up, face forward, use a clear, safe path and make sure an adult is supervising.
A good sledding hill does not lead to a street, a body of water or a crowded gathering place. In addition, remember to inspect sleds regularly for worn, damaged or loose parts that could break or snag at high speed.
Children under six should not be riding a snowmobile and no one under 16 should drive one. All snowmobile drivers and passengers should be wearing helmets designed for high-speed motor sports - a bike helmet isn't sufficient for a four-wheeled motorcycle that can go up to 90 miles per hour.
Ice Skating and Hockey
Helmets are a must for ice hockey, along with mouth guards, knee pads and elbow, shoulder and shin protection.
Teach kids how to protect themselves if they do fall through ice. Remind them to stretch their arms out wide and kick as if swimming, shout for help, and try to crawl backward onto solid ice.
Always wear sport-specific, properly fitting safety gear when participating in winter sports activities. Since proper equipment fit and maintenance are important for safety, bring your child along when shopping for skates, helmets, boots, etc.
Dress in layers and wear warm, close-fitting clothes. Make sure that long scarves are tucked in so they don't get entangled in lifts, ski poles or other equipment.
Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen with a rating of SPF 15 or higher.
If children become distracted, irritable, or begins to hyperventilate, they may be suffering from hypothermia or altitude sickness, or are too tired to participate safely in winter sports. They should go indoors, rest and warm up.

DATE: June 2, 2010
TO: Campus Community
FROM: President Douglas E. Zemke
It is a pleasure to accept the recommendation of the Employee Recognition Committee that Daniel Stuby be honored as Employee of the Month for May 2010.
Daniel Stuby began working at Millikin University as Associate Director of Young Alumni Relations effective June 11, 2007.
The Employee Recognition Committee received very compelling support for Daniel's nomination, including the following comments:
"I am pleased to nominate Dan Stuby, Associate Director of Young Alumni Relations, as Employee of the Month. Dan does outstanding work throughout the year in supporting our young alumni and soon-to-be alumni, but this is a particularly appropriate month to recognize Dan's outstanding efforts. In the last month, mid-April to mid-May, Dan had responsibility for three major projects that are a part of his job description: the Millikin Admission Support Team, advising MilliSTAT for Founder's Day, and advising the Senior Class Committee. This is while continuing his ongoing activities in working with alumni and in supporting the major Alumni and Development event of the year, the kick-off for the Transform MU campaign."
"Throughout the year, Dan shows dedication to his tasks. He works many hours to ensure that projects are completed with excellence and quality. He is thorough and persistent. He cares about the entire University and challenges himself and our staff to be aware of campus initiatives and needs. He supports his colleagues in Student Development, in particular, and was helpful to them in end of the year activities. He understands the interrelatedness of divisions throughout the university to ensure that we are meeting our mission. Dan is a consummate professional who shows a maturity far beyond his years. He is an asset to the entire university community. I am proud to have him as my associate director, my colleague, and friend. He is well-deserving for recognition as Employee of the Month."
"Daniel is a true collaborator on our campus. He is constantly crossing departmental lines to collaborate with other campus constituents for the betterment of our alumni and current students. Daniel is a thoughtful employee that will not stand for status quo. He is willing to question practices that no longer work or changes that might take away from the Millikin experience. His love for this institution guides his extraordinary efforts to daily improve Millikin University. I am so proud to work with such a dedicated individual."
Congratulations, Dan, on such a well-deserved honor!
The Employee Recognition Committee also thanks this month's sponsors: Dairy Queen; Dale's Southlake Pharmacy; Firewater Cafe; Kirkland Fine Arts Center; Lock, Stock, & Barrel; Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra; Millikin's Department of Theatre & Dance; Millikin Marketing Department; Mrs. Fields; National Bird Feeding Society; and Peerless Cleaners.

Clump (RW Section)
From GTAModding
|RW Stream Section
Clump is usually the root section of DFF files. It only contains child sections and no data. All additional data is stored inside a struct section. A clump section may appear multiple times inside one
.dff files. There is no counting variable stored inside the file defining how many clumps are stored inside it.
All additional information for the clump section is stored in a struct section which is the first child section of the clump. It stores the following information:
4b - DWORD - Number of atomically linked objects, representing the number of atomic sections. 4b - DWORD - Number of lights * 4b - DWORD - Number of cameras *
* GTA does not support dynamic lights and multiple cameras so those values are zero by default.

Undeterred by his impending expendability, Alex Burrows re-upped with the Vancouver Canucks Friday, signing an extension worth $18 million. Fans were delighted to learn that they'll get at least four more years of the finger-biting, dragon-slaying, hair-pulling former ECHLer.
The Canucks were likely delighted too, and not just because Burrows complements the Sedins so well, but because they were running out of time to get this one done. While it seemed like the two sides might be far apart earlier this week, they managed to find some middle ground just in time, inking the deal a little over an hour ahead of the 2pm deadline. (If only other negotiations could go so well, perhaps this deadline need not have even existed.)
Then, pleased as punch, they tweeted an instagrammed photo of Burrows and Jedi Laurence Gilman sneaking the extension in.
But one look at the photo shows that Burrows putting the pen to paper wasn't the only instance of sneakery taking place.Continue Reading —›
Here's a screenshot of Google Earth's street view, just outside of the Hotel Valencia on Santana Row in San Jose. It's where the Canucks stay when they travel down the coast to play the San Jose Sharks. Say, who's that on the corner? Is that Aaron Rome? Come to think of it, the gaggle of besuited men standing around that bench looks oddly familiar too.
Let's zoom in.Continue Reading —›
