That looks like excellent work there my man! I hope you do well with these.
Since I don't yet seem to have access to the "News" thread (feel free to move it there, mods), I thought I would go ahead and post this here. I very, very recently opened my RPGNow store, selling map packs to the masses! I've finished and uploaded my very first two releases, and thought I'd let you guys know what I'm up (and take the opportunity to advertise. Mwaw haw haw)
Here are some images and copy I've worked up. for both releases:
__________________________________________________ ____________
One Dollar Dungeon: Cleric's Cathedral
This first release is a map pack featuring a large (over poster sized!) furnished cathedral with an attached crypt.
Of course the pack includes printable PDF versions in color and high contrast black and white for the table top games, but it also includes full VTT support! The included .rpmap (Maptools) file comes with vision blocking and a robust object layer set up for you. If you use a different VTT, it is no problem, as the full map 100.dpi images and about 17 .png objects are included in the download. And all of this for only one dollar!
There will be a One Dollar Dungeon that is themed after each traditional RPG character class, so if you like my first release, keep your eyes peeled for the next, which is coming soon!
__________________________________________________ ____________
Setting a pretty good pace, I've already released my second map pack on RPGNow! Here we go:
One Dollar Dungeon: Fighter's Barroom Brawl
Fighter's Barroom Brawl is the second in a series of One Dollar Dungeon maps, which represent convenient starting locations or class-specific adventure locals for each traditional RPG character class. Fighter's Barroom Brawl is a rough-and-tumble tavern and inn so you can have access to your beds and your booze in one place! The taproom and inn features two floors and a cellar mapped out in typical 1 in. = 5 ft. map format.
Along with the standard presentation of multi-page printable PDF, I'm also including vigorous maptools support. This means that it includes a download of an .rpmap file with vision blocking and a very robust object layer. As I am learning about different maptools functionalities, I am including more neat options. I've already figured how to have doors swing on their hinges, and I include several portraits for objects and scenes, but this time I have made many of the objects interactable, with macros to do neat things like overturn the tables for cover, spill people's beers, and light and snuff out the candles!
This map pack comes with forty .png objects that would fit in any inn or tavern. I put a lot of effort into filling the place up. You can reap the benefits of my work for only a buck!
Thanks, as always, for reading.
__________________________________________________ ____________
And there you have it. Wish me luck! If anyone happens to pick one up, I'd absolutely welcome any C&C you have on the maps, the presentation, the maptools implementation, anything. I am just getting going, and I'd wager that I have oodles to learn before this starts going smoothly.

When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Thanks guys! I hope they sell too. Like I said, my first project is doing seven poster-sized maps themed after each D&D base character class before I go on to do more full-featured, interesting maps.
Very nice stuff! Off to the store.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Jose Aldo expects to be back in the cage sooner rather than later.
The injured UFC featherweight champion said he could return by the end of the year, and if not, it won't be much longer than that.
"I feel fine except for some pain in my ankles," Aldo said on Friday. "I just need medical clearance to get back to full training."
Aldo took a spill on a motorcycle this past month, and it cost him tonight's UFC 153 headlining spot at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Before the accident and injuries, he was slated to fight Frankie Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC), a replacement for injured Erik Koch (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), in a title fight in his home country.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported earlier this week, Aldo, who's vowed to quit riding motorcycle, still expects to fight Edgar upon his return.
"I hope to be back by the end of the year, or by January at the latest," he said. "The UFC will tell me who I'll be facing, but I think it's Frankie Edgar."
The UFC has a major year-end show, UFC 155, slated for Dec. 29 in Las Vegas. However, the stacked pay-per-view card probably doesn't need another title fight, so it's likely Aldo's next fight won't come until at least January.
For more on the UFC's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Heart scans, also known as coronary calcium scans, provide pictures of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries). Doctors use heart scans to look for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries that can narrow your arteries and increase your heart attack risk. The result of this test is often called a coronary calcium score.
Heart scans can show that you may have a higher risk of having a heart attack or other problems before you have any obvious symptoms of heart disease. Heart scans aren't for everyone, though. While some walk-in medical facilities advertise that you can walk in for a quick check of your coronary arteries, be cautious of these offers.
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology don't recommend routine use of heart scans on people who don't have symptoms of heart disease and who don't smoke or have cardiac risk factors, such as elevated cholesterol or high blood pressure.

One of the books I've read this summer is Greg McKeown's Essentialism. As the name implies, the book encourages people to focus only on those issues vital to the organization…in short, to become Essentialists.
Among the items you would expect to find (choice, clarity, saying "no," setting boundaries, etc.) sits chapter six: Look – See What Really Matters. Here McKeown demonstrates the importance of discerning meaning from among all the data and the value of finding what really matters to people.
He suggests we take on the role of journalist: getting out in the field to see things firsthand; role playing differing perspectives to discover abnormal or unusual details, and taking time to clarify the core question as we hone in on the decision that really needs to be made.
What hooks me about the role of journalist is that the resulting story may bear little resemblance to stream of facts and figures. The journalist consumes the data not just to regurgitate it back in narrative form but to find the signal in the noise, to hear what's not being said, and to uncover the essence of the story.
He reminds us that studies, interviews, and raw data of various sorts never drive our actions. Our decisions are guided by how we understand the information in light of our cause, our mission, and a myriad of other subjective filters. Our best decisions are meaning driven.
P.S. I recommend the book. The library has it in multiple forms. For a quick overview, see Michael Hyatt's recent article.

What Has Happened to the World's Newest Republic?
After decades of nightmarish violence, the new predominantly Christian nation of South Sudan declared independence with United Nations supervision and help from such celebrities as George Clooney -- and thousands of former refugees known as "The Lost Boys of Sudan." But now, violence rages once more.
If anybody ever deserves peace and security, it is the terrorized tribal Africans of South Sudan.
The world first learned of their plight in the 1990s, when thousands of boys between the ages of seven and 17 began arriving at refugee camps in Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda telling tales almost too horrific to be believed.
More than 20,000 in all, they became known as the Lost Boys of Sudan – orphans of a complex civil war that was difficult for outsiders to understand. It was more than the Sudanese government fighting a rebel army – more of a battle between tribal warlords, small-time religious thugs and psychopathic gangsters who forced children to become killers.
Two survivors (Photo by Steve Evans/Wikimedia)
The kids told horror stories of watching their rural villages being savagely destroyed by fast-moving, murderous militia who were often high on drugs and blood lust. The boys told of escaping death only because they were out watching their families' goats when their villages were attacked. They told of hiding in the underbrush and watching as their parents and siblings were terrorized, tortured, raped, maimed and murdered by crazed raiders who then stole all the food and burned everything that remained of the village.
Together, the boys walked thousands of miles across Africa to refugee camps. Many died during the trek from disease, hunger, victimization by rival tribes, and animal attacks.
In 2001, the United States allowed roughly 3,400 of the boys to resettle here.
Their stories are heartbreaking. In Nashville, Paul Joseph tells of wandering across the devastated countryside with friends – nobody older than nine. They scavenged for food, took up with older boys – 12-year-olds – then set off for refugee camps in Uganda. En route, they were captured by a violent militia which forced them to become soldiers and raiders. Joseph denies ever killing anyone, but says he became a firearms instructor, teaching the younger boys how to shoot and maintain AK-47 assault rifles.

F-1 Visa Category
UAF Departments may host Students in the F-1 Visa Category
International student information for students in F-1 status:
The information provided is for the benefit of Academic Advisors and other staff members at UAF to help them understand some of the regulations surrounding an F-1 student's legal status in the United States. If you have any questions about the requirements outlined here, please contact Carol Holz. Click on any of the topics below to expand text on the subject.
Admission requirements
Under U.S. immigration regulations, before U.S. schools can issue I-20 forms to international students to enter and begin their academic programs, the students must show English proficiency and proof of financial ability to pay for all expenses while in the U.S. These requirements are in addition to any institutional admission requirements.
Students are required to notify the International Advisor if there is a significant change in their funding situation. Students losing funding sources are considered out of status if they are unable to locate and provide documentation of new funding in order to continue their programs. If they are unable to locate new funding, they are required to leave the U.S. as they are out of status.
Graduate Student Funding
Departments awarding assistantships are assumed to be continuing the funding for the duration of the academic program unless otherwise noted on the Admission Recommendation for International Graduate Applicant Form. Funding information requested on the form is "No funding provided" or "Funding will be provided in the amount of _____________ per year." The department should be reasonably certain that they have funding or anticipated funding in place for the duration of the student's program. If department funding is lost, student must provideUAF International Programs & Initiatives with proof of other funding source(s).
English Proficiency
Students are required to show proof of English proficiency before the I-20 can be issued. The UAF standard is the TOEFL exam. Students experiencing academic difficulty during their first semester of attendance due to English proficiency may be authorized to enroll in English skills class(es) during that semester.
Students are required to check in with the International Student Advisors as soon as possible after their arrival in Fairbanks . Additionally, they are required, by immigration regulations, to provide changes of residence address to the International Student Advisors within 10 days of a move. The IPI is required to update the information in the national immigration database within 20 days.
Enrollment Institution
Students are authorized to attend the academic institution that issued their I-20 for the degree program specified on the document.
Enrollment Status
To maintain appropriate immigration status, students must be enrolled full-time and making satisfactory progress towards the completion of the degree every semester they are in the U.S.
Full Time Status
Undergraduate students: 12 credits mininum of which no more than 3 credis may be distance education independent study credits. At least 9 credits must be tradition in-class course credits.
Graduate students: 9 credits of which no more than 3 credits may be distance education or independent study credits. At least 6 credits must be traditional in-class courses and/or required thesis or research credits.
Reduced Course Load (RCL): During the student's final semester of attendance, they may be authorized to be less than full-time, with prior approval of an International Student Advisor, should they not need the minimum required number of full-time credits to complete their degree program. He or she must be enrolled in at least one required in-class course during the final semester. Additionally, students may be authorized less than full-time status due to unforeseen medical conditions. However, approval must be received before the student drops below full-time status.
Distance Education/Independent Study: a maximum of 3 credits of distance education or independent study may apply towards the full-time requirement per semester.
Exceptions to full-time requirement (see also "Reduced Course Load"): Must be approvedbefore the student drops below full-time status.
Documented illness or medical condition. Request/recommendation from medical caregiver required.
Academic difficulty (can only be used one semester) based on one of the following: (1) Initial difficulties with the English language; (2) Initial difficulties with reading requirements; (3) Unfamiliarity with American teaching methods; or (4) Improper course placement. Request/recommendation from academic advisor required.
Change of major or program
Students wishing to change academic majors and/or degree programs must notify the International Advisor before they begin the new program. They must obtain a new I-20 reflecting that program before they begin.
Program Extension
Students may request an extension of their academic programs if they have continually maintained status and the extension is needed due to compelling academic or medical reasons such as changes of major or research topics, unexpected research problems or documented illness. Extensions due to a lack of English proficiency are not allowable as English proficiency is required for a student to be admitted. Extensions must be fully processed before the program completion date shown on the I-20.
Students must request a written, signed letter from their faculty advisor and/or chair of graduate committee addressed to the International Advisor that includes the student's name, that the student has maintained satisfactory progress towards degree completion, the compelling reason that the extension is needed and the anticipated completion date.
Students placed on probation are not considered to be making satisfactory progress towards their degree. Should students be placed on probation, if their notification letter does not address this as a "warning", they are considered out of status by U.S. immigration authorities. There is no grace period for people in an "out of status" situation and they are required to leave the U.S. at midnight of the day they receive notification.
Program Dismissal
Students being dismissed from their program are considered out of status and are required to leave the country at midnight of the day they receive notification. Since UAF has an appeals process for this, a dismissal letter should have an effective date that incorporates the 30-day appeals process time. This enables the student to make arrangements to leave the U.S. in a timely manner.
Program Completion
Generally, the date of program completion is the last day of final exams during the semester students will graduate.
NOTE: Employment authorization ends on the date of program completion. Graduate students with thesis or project defense requirements, see "Special Notes for Graduate Students" - "Program Completion."
Grace period following program completion
Students in F-1 status have a 60-day grace period following program completion during which they may travel and sightsee within the U.S. as a tourist, make arrangements to leave the U.S. and ship personal belongings home. If they wish to enroll in a subsequent academic program, the admission must be finalized prior to the end of the 60-day grace period. Employment authorization ends on the date of program completion and cannot continue through the grace period.
Students in F-1 status are authorized to work on-campus without additional immigration authorization. Employment is restricted to no more than 20 hours per week while classes are in session. There is no immigration restriction on number of hours worked during vacation periods.
Students in J-1 (exchange students) must have a letter of employment authorization from one of the UAF Department of State Responsible Officers (International Student or Study Abroad Advisors).
NOTE: Employment authorization ends on the date of program completion.
Special Note - Social Security Numbers
All students who wish to work, to include graduate assistantships, are required to obtain a SSN. The students need to obtain a letter from the International Advisor indicating their eligibility for employment. They must also have a copy of their employment letter. The letter and social security application form must be submitted in person at the SSA Office in Fairbanks . Additionally, they will be given a release of information form authorizing SSA to release the number to Statewide Human Resources as soon as the number is assigned. Should the student agree to the authorization, that form needs to be submitted with the SSN application. Students are advised to wait until they have been in the U.S. at least 10 days, and their SEVIS (immigration) record activated by the International Advisor before attempting to submit a SSN application. The OIP will provide complete information to students along with the necessary letter.
Special Notes for Graduate Students -
Satisfactory Progress
To document satisfactory progress, it would be helpful for UAF International Programs & Initiatives to receive notification of the students' committee, committee chair and research topic when they are decided, copies of annual reports, Graduate Study Plan and Advancement to Candidacy.
Program Completion
Program completion for immigration purposes is deemed to be the final day of the semester for students enrolled in a semester-long course which meets on regularly scheduled, specified days and times for the duration of the semester. Students enrolled in condensed courses are deemed to have completed their programs on the last day of required attendance during their final semester.
For those students who are enrolled only in graduate thesis or research credits and who have met all other course requirements in a previous semester, program completion is calculated from the date of thesis or project defense not the last day of the semester date. The official program completion date for these students is either (1) two months from the defense date or (2) the approval date on the Report of Thesis/Dissertation Defense form or the Report of Project Defense form when signed by the academic department chair, whichever is earlier.
You can read the official policy memo here.
T.A./R.A. Employment
Immigration regulations restrict employment to 20 hours per week while school is in session. Also see Graduate Student Funding on page 1. Employment authorization ends on official date of completion noted above for programs with thesis and research defense requirements.

TIBCO Cloud
Why Cloud Bus?
TIBCO Cloud
The promise of cloud is real: it allows for greater efficiency and faster time-to-market of new capabilities at reduced cost. While the benefits are proven, cloud solutions must do more than deliver cost-efficient scalability to support basic operational needs – they need to enable the organization at large by accelerating innovation and empowering ways to competitively differentiate.
TIBCO Cloud makes this possible – providing a clear path to fast results that enables the business to get ideas up and running without having to secure extra monetary or resource support.
Our scalable, enterprise-class solutions deliver high-performance capabilities on-demand, optimize the utilization of resources across platforms, and minimize overhead costs. A wide range of services also provide a rich set of tools and capabilities you can leverage to enhance operational agility, data discovery, business workflows, and the integration of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. Learn more about TIBCO Cloud offerings.
Innovation as-a-Service
Our approach is simple: we believe cloud is fundamental for innovation – a place where ideas come to life quickly and can be used to seize advantage, a place to securely test and implement new ways of operating, a place where customer and partner relationships can be strengthened.
Benefits of a Cloud Platform
Designed with this in mind, TIBCO Cloud solutions and services not only enable you to discover new ways of connecting people, deriving intelligence, and improving operational efficiency – they allow you to explore while mitigating the risks commonly associated with innovation by allowing you to test, validate, and scale ideas until positive results are proven.
Why TIBCO?
Choice: Gain all the benefits of the cloud without vendor lock-in. Our solutions and services support multiple software-as-a-service (SaaS) systems and infrastructure providers. They can also be hosted on-premise or in environment managed by TIBCO.
Agility: Start or stop projects at any time by eliminating the need for typical procurement, installation, or configuration processes. Should performance requirements rise or fall, resources will dynamically scale to meet demand.
Impact: By capturing results in a measured manner, you can focus on the project that yield the best results and stop investing in those that don't perform.

Hey everybody! Today is national Healthy Eyeballs Day. I've always been fortunate enough to have 20-20 vision. In fact, sometimes I see so well that I can see into the future. Hopefully you have excellent eyesight as well. If not, now's a great time to see your friendly eyeball professional for a checkup.

Donald Trump thinks the political delegate system is "rigged" and otherwise unfair. Boohoo, Donald. Boohoo. I'm not a Donald Trump supporter and politics aside, here are a couple other things that are unfair.
Trump probably sipped Champaign today from a gold chalice. I sipped water today from a plastic cup.
Trump travels around the world in his private jet. I got to work today in my 1972 AMC Gremlin.
Trump is married to a beautiful model from Slovenia. Women won't date me because I wear a paper bag on my head and drive a 1972 AMC Gremlin.
Donald is a billionaire. One time I won $3 from the Texas Lotto.

Pooper Troll Fitty
by Unknown Blogger
posted Feb 4 2016 10:13AM
Who's excited about the big football game this weekend? Due to trademark restrictions I can't say the name of the game but it rhymes with Pooper Troll. I also can't say the name of the teams playing this year in Pooper Troll Fitty but they rhyme with Francoes and Schmanthers.
Personally I can't stand the Francoes or the Schmanthers so of course I hope at the end of the fourth quarter that it's a tie and they have to go into overtime, after which it's still a tie and the Francoes and Schmanthers keep slugging it out until all remaining players lose consciousness and they have no choice but to declare Pooper Troll Fitty a tie. Yay! Now cut to one of those hilarious Pooper Troll commercials where Lady Gaga is eating Doritos® while riding on top of a billy goat. Oh wait. Does the ASPCA forbid the use of the word billy goat and Lady Gaga in the same sentence? I'll have to check on that.
Speaking of Lady Gaga, she will be singing the national anthem before the start of Pooper Troll Fitty. Rumor has it they wanted Tony Bennett to sing the national anthem but when they asked if he'd sing at Pooper Troll Fitty his reply was, "Young fella, what the hell is Pooper Troll Fitty?"
Speaking of really old farts, how 'bout that Peyton Manning? Rumor has it he will retire after Pooper Troll Fitty. As a matter of fact, Peyton Manning is so old that Las Vegas odds have Peyton Manning retiring at halftime and letting backup quarterback Brock Osweiler finish the game.
Speaking of halftime, this year's performances include Coldplay, Beyonce (her 4
Pooper Troll appearance) and Bruno Mars (2
Pooper Troll appearance). Wow. What a snooze fest. I think halftime will be my queue to stick my finger down my throat so as to puke out all the Pooper Troll party snacks and alcohol I've ingested over the past couple hours and make room for the gluttony of third and fourth quarter.
Pooper Troll Fitty – I can't wait. May the best team tie.

Bluebonnets In Bloom
by Unknown Blogger
posted Mar 24 2015 9:24AM
Spring has sprung in the ATX and the bluebonnets are a bloomin' which, of course, means it's time for me to be one with nature a la naturale. Yes, I along with thousands of other Austinites with nothing better to do are drawn to the blooming of the bluebonnets like zombies to flesh, capturing that special moment on film where we trample on nature posing for posterity. So grab your camera and your adorable children, puppy dogs or paper bags and head on out to your favorite bluebonnet patch on the side of the highway, risking life and limb for that gorgeous money shot. Say cheese!

Taylor Swift On Top Of Herself
by Unknown Blogger
posted Nov 21 2014 8:43AM
Just when you thought things couldn't get any better for Taylor Swift, she now is the first woman in 50 years to replace herself at number one on Billboard's Hot 100. That's right. Taylor's "Shake It Off" held the number one spot only to get topped by her latest release, "Blank Space." Why can't I be number one? I sing really good at karaoke but nobody says, "Hey UB you sing better than Taylor Swift?" People go on about Taylor this and Taylor that. It's always TALOR, TAYLOR, TAYLOR!
I lost 5 pounds the other day and can now fit into a size 10 dress but does anyone tell me, "Hey UB, you sure look hot in a chubby kinda way?" No. They just ask if I've heard the new TS album or if they can have some of my extra-large, double-cheese supreme pizza and I'm like, "Hell no!"
It's just not fair that some girls have all the luck while all I have right now are the cramps. Ugh! TALOR, TAYLOR, TAYLOR!

iPhone 6 Top Ten
by Unknown Blogger
posted Sep 9 2014 3:57PM
I was waiting in line for two days to be one of the first people to buy the new iPhone 6 but then I got arrested for urinating in public. Next time I'll be sure to first download the iUrinal app before I get in line again. In any event, here are the top ten things I heard while waiting in line to buy the new iPhone 6.
10. I heard iPhone 6 Plus comes with an app that protects you from the Ebola virus
9. Does anyone have an iPhone charger I can borrow?
8. I heard iPhone 6 is so advanced it makes it easier for the NSA to spy on me
7. I heard iPhone 6 lets you talk to Steve Jobs
6. Siri is way hotter than Cortana
5. I don't care what my husband says, size matters. I'm getting the Plus
4. Girlfriend, of course the iPhone 6 is smarter than you.
3. After this I'm going to start waiting in line for iPhone 7
2. If you let me cut in front of you, I'll let you sleep with my hot sister
1. Will you hold my place in line because I really gotta pee?

Fo' Shizzle My Pizzle

posted Jun 13 2014 4:01PM
The Texas Attorney General's Office recently filed a
civil suit
against some employees of an Austin, Texas grocer, MT Supermarket, for allegedly improperly labeling and selling pizzle, or more fondly referred to as beef penis. What, what?
I didn't even know that pizzle existed. Okay, that's not entirely true. I do recall my first pizzle proposition but it was a long time ago and I firmly told the bull that I just wanted to be friends and that homie didn't play that game.
In any event, you all jonesin' for some pizzle will have to get it the ol' fashion way – call Pizza Hut for their Pizzle Pizza Supreme, available now for a limited time only.

Man Arrested for Indecency with a Donut
by Unknown Blogger
posted Jun 6 2014 2:21PM
Today is National Donut Day – a day when police officers everywhere can feel a little less guilty for eating inordinate amounts of donuts while the bad guys roam free. But please be warned that National Donut Day does not necessarily mean free donuts for all as Mr. Bob Polanco of Cucamonga, California would find out.
In celebration of National Donut Day, Bob visited his local donut shop and proceeded to help himself to donuts behind the shop counter thinking National Donut Day meant free donuts. Sally Peterman, who works the morning shift at Danny's Donuts, called police when she noticed Mr. Polanco licking un-paid donuts in what she described as "a disturbingly suggestive manner." Sally called the police after Bob was caught behind the counter licking and eating donuts and refusing to pay. "Who tongues the hole of a donut before they eat it? That's just gross" said Sally. Mr. Polanco said that although he regrets the misunderstanding, what goes on between and man and a consenting donut is nobody's business and that next time he'll buy the donuts first and then take them to a hotel room like a normal person.

Justin Bieber Talks to the Unknown Blogger
by Unknown Blogger
posted Feb 13 2014 10:35AM
Justin Bieber broke his silence regarding his recent arrest in Miami on January 23, 2014 and granted me an exclusive phone interview. As you may recall, Baby Bieber (as he's affectionately known here in the Mix studios) was busted by Miami-Dade Police for street racing and charged with drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license. Blood tests would later reveal Baby Bieber was under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, Xanax and 32 ounces of baby food.
Unknown Blogger (UB):
Hi Justin. Thanks for taking time to talk with me.
Justin Bieber (JB):
No problem. My daddy just woke me up from my nap so I'm all rested and ready to rap. I am hungry though so do you mind if I eat my Goldfish® crackers while we talk?
Cool with me. We wouldn't want your tummy growling during the interview.
So I read the other day that you're trying to stop the Miami police from releasing video of you making wee wee in your jail cell. Can you talk about the whole jail experience?
[ JB crunching on his Goldfish® and not answering ]
Oh, sorry. Damn! I sure love me some Goldfish®. What was the question?
Can you share with me what it was like to be locked up in Miami?
Well I'll say one thing, there are no Goldfish® crackers in jail and I really had the munchies. Damn bunch of meanie cops.
I see. So I assume they let you make a phone call. Who did you call?
Duh! Who do you think I called? I called Selena Gomez but some dude answered so I just hung up.
And did the police let you call someone else?
Yeah but I just kept calling Selena but that same dude kept answering so finally I was like, "Hey A-hole. Stop answering Selena's phone and he was like this is not Selena's phone and I was like this isn't Selena Gomez's phone and he says no you jackass this is Chuck E. Cheese's!" I was like, "Sorry dude - must have hit the wrong re-dial on my cell, yo."
So the cops let you use your cell phone to make the call?
Well they didn't know I had it cuz I hid it in my… never mind.
So how were you generally treated in jail? Did they jack with you because you're a pop star or were they pretty cool?
The cops sucked but my cellmate was even worse. He kept saying I was his bitch and I was like "Oh no I'm not but if you have some Goldfish® crackers then maybe we could work something out," and he was like "Yo, listen here cracker, I got your Goldfish® crackers right here," and I was like "Ok bitch, then let me see them crackers" but he was just lying and really didn't have any crackers and I was about to start crying but went to my happy place instead and started singing "
Be Alright
" from my last album Believe.
Wow. Sounds like you had a rough time. How are you doing these days?
Are you kidding? I'm doin' awesome! I got plenty of Goldfish®; I can crank call Selena as much as I want and I don't have to worry about someone sneaking up on me trying to play a game of hide the weasel – hate that weasel game!
Totes. Well on that note I gotta run but thanks for the interview and good luck with all your legal problems and stuff.

Bill would give amnesty for old speeding tickets
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The West Virginia Senate Transportation Committee advanced a bill that would give amnesty to drivers who have had their licenses suspended or revoked because of unpaid tickets that are more than 10 years old.
The bill advanced Friday would let those drivers get their licenses back without paying the fines, although the fines would still remain on the books.
Commercial drivers' licenses or any citation having to do with a commercial vehicle are excluded from amnesty.
The amnesty period would last for one year.
The bill's lead sponsor Sen. William Laird said that West Virginia suspends or revokes 90,000 licenses per year, and 54,000 of those are for nonpayment of fines.
Laird said that in rural counties with little public transportation, revoking a license is akin to sentencing someone to unemployment.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Roots Really cheap wicker This product was poorly made. The wicker is cheap and breaking straight out of the box. The lid did not fit well at all. I would not recommend this product. Very disappointing. September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lady Sara Perfect for a Lady's Sunroom Office I have been in the process of turning a under used sunroom into an office for myself. I did not want the typical office look so I am using a beautiful antique secretary that was my great Auntâs. The secretary gave me plenty of storage space with the exception of filing. I purchased a wicker filing box and it worked perfectly! The only problem is that I should have order two. I plan to place one box on each side of the secretary to give it a symmetrical look.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by rhode island lover trying to organize I purchased this during a recent move to help organize out bills etc. The wicker is already splitting in spots and the top does not fit well. Not very good quality, especially for the price. July 2, 2013

A friend would call and ask about one of our day trips or I needed to order something from the Vt.C catalog. How could I keep everything organized without having a metal or plastic box in my well appointed living room? This wicker file does the job and even adds a decorative touch to the room. July 1, 2013

- "But then, through the darkness, fire erupted: crimson and gold, a ring of fire that surrounded the rock so that the Inferi holding Harry so tightly stumbled and faltered..."
- —Harry witnessing the flames scaring the Inferi.[src]
Firestorm is a spell that produces a ring of fire around the caster. The caster is able to control the movement and direction of the flames with enough precision to strike individual targets. The spell Partis Temporus can create a gap in the flames to allow safe passage through.
Known uses
In 1997, Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter entered a seaside cave in an attempt to locate one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. When the Inferi guarding the Horcrux attacked, Dumbledore conjured a firestorm to drive them back, saving Harry's life in the process.
Known Practitioners
Behind the scenes
- In the soundtrack from the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the score for this scene was titled Inferi in the Firestorm.
- This spell may be a variant of Incendio or Fiendfyre.

If your son is a fan of the Transformers, then the Transformers Optimus Prime Classic Boy's Costume is a great costume idea for Halloween. It comes with a red, blue, and silver jumpsuit with machinery detail print and a matching character mask that features the iconic faceplate and ear finials. There is no greater achievement than being the leader of the Autobots. Fight off Megatron and the villainous Decepticons faction when you wear this costume.

Allergic Rhinitis Medicines and Children
Topic Overview
Children with allergic rhinitis have the same treatment options as adults. They should avoid substances that trigger their allergies (allergens). And they usually need to use medicine to control symptoms. Your child may also get allergy shots.
Don't give these medicines to your child without talking to your child's doctor. You and the doctor will be able to find the right kind of medicine for your child. The medicine you and your doctor choose will depend on your child's symptoms and the possible side effects from taking medicine.
Nasal corticosteroids
- Nasal corticosteroids are the most effective medicine for treating allergic rhinitis in children. There are different medicines, such as triamcinolone (Nasacort), budesonide (Rhinocort), ciclesonide (Omnaris), or fluticasone (Flonase or Veramyst). All of them work well.
- Nasal corticosteroids have few side effects.
- Antihistamines are available both with a prescription and without a prescription.
- Antihistamines come in different forms, such as pills, liquid, dissolvable tablets, eyedrops, or nasal sprays.
- Some medicines may make your child sleepy. But your child's doctor may be able to start your child on a medicine that won't make him or her sleepy.
Leukotriene modifiers
- Leukotriene modifiers, such as montelukast (Singulair), come in tablet, liquid, or granule form.
- Montelukast may be prescribed for children with allergic rhinitis who also have asthma.

TIP OF THE WEEKWhen it comes to snacking, there are dozens of ways to answer your cravings. Sometimes your snack cravings are tied to flavor; other times it's a texture that you're yearning for. When you feel a tinge of hunger, give yourself permission to put down the grab-and-go bar or bag of chips, and instead take a moment to have a mindful snacking experience that allows you to truly savor your food.
A 20-year agreement with the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency was approved last week.
As if you needed another reminder, J.R. Smith is a legend.
At last, it's the Democrats' turn.
A Florida woman was arrested and charged with driving under the influence Saturday night after she live streamed herself...
In a crime-of-the-week show, it's either the case that keeps you interested or the characters that are investigating it. In some circumstances, you find a show that is good at making both the crime and the main characters intriguing.
My favorite way to express love is to spend countless hours in the kitchen to whip up something wonderful for the ones I love.

Bed Bugs, Cimex lectularius
Adults look like apple seeds with legs. Young bed bugs—nymphs—look like adults, only smaller. Newly hatched nymphs are poppy seed-sized. Eggs are tiny white, and hard to spot.
Where they live
In cracks and crevices of bed frames, floors, walls, furniture, electronics, mattresses, and luggage. Wedge themselves into anything, but usually near where people rest.
What they do
Feed on you as you sleep, but if you're not around they can go over a year without food. Bites look like a rash or welts—or you may not notice them at all. Bed bugs don't transmit disease.
How to deal with bed bugs
Don't bring home hitchhikers: Traveling? Inspect your hotel room before you call it a night. Examine your luggage thoroughly with each new place you go. Wash and dry clothes with hot water and high heat as soon as you get home.
Freeze it: Bag small items; place in your freezer for 30 days.
Buying used furniture, bedding, clothes? Inspect thoroughly. Wash and dry bedding and clothes with hot water, high heat. Steam is an option, but make sure stuff dries out so it doesn't mold.
Check everywhere: Keep bedroom furniture an inch or two from the wall and a flashlight handy for easier cleaning and inspecting. Bed bug-proof mattress covers and light-colored bedding make them easier to spot.
Remove: Say goodbye to clutter in your bedroom to get rid of bed bug hiding spots. Getting rid of stuff? Cover in plastic so bugs don't fall off and make sure the items are in a dumpster or ruined so people don't take them home.
Vacuum often: Floors, walls, mattresses, baseboards, furniture ... Get rid of the vacuum bag as soon as you're done in case you sucked up a bed bug.
Pesticide options: Leave it to the professionals. Some sprays simply repel bed bugs, spreading them around. Make sure pesticides are labeled specifically for bed bugs. Always read and follow the instructions on the label.

After reading books about Earth Day this week we decided to make a piece of art using recyclable materials. (ok, really I decided, but the kids went along with it) Since trees are so good for our Earth, it became our inspiration.
These are the books we read this week about Earth Day.
To make our tree craft, I started by cutting up an old cardboard box to look like a science project board. I wanted it to be able to stand freely on it's own, that's why I cut it this way. My boys painted it a good coat of blue paint. (It was one of those "doing your hair is optional" days and Andy choose not to do his. haha!)
Once the paint was completely dry, we cut an empty paper towel roll in half to make our tree trunk. You will have to use a lot of school glue to secure it in place. You can see in the picture below how the toilet paper roll makes the tree pop out of the cardboard.
For our tree branches we used a brown lunch sack. We cut it into strips and then crinkled and twisted the strips to make them into branches. Then glued them onto the cardboard to make the tree. At this point we let the project dry over night.
For the life of me, I could not figure out why this picture below keeps uploading rotated the wrong direction. (Grrrrr!) The next morning, we went through some old magazines I had around the house and ripped out pages that had lots of green on them. Then I got out a black marker and drew leafs over the green areas. I did try to use ares with different colors mixed in the greens to make the tree more colorful.
Luke helped me cut them all out which was quite the tedious process.
Then we glued the leaves all over our tree. It looks so pretty with all the different greens and colors from the magazine pages.
We also found a page that had a picture of soil on it, so we ripped it into strips and glued it along the bottom of the tree to make the ground.
We are really excited about how turned out. It was a great way to finish up our Earth Day week.
Happy Earth Day!!
I like to link my posts up to THESE great link parties.

Out of the Shadows: A Parent Education Program
The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Maine has developed an 11-week educational course specifically for families of children who have mental illness. The course has been developed as a curriculum to be taught by interested families who are active in our regional support groups that cover the entire State of Maine. The curriculum covers the diagnosis of mental illness in childhood, normal child and adolescent development, treatments offered for the disorders, resource information, how to collaborate with schools and mental health rights information. Coping strategies for dealing with the stresses associated with having a child who has mental illness are incorporated into the program. The goal of this educational program is to provide families with important information and support that they need to help provide the needed treatment and care of their children who are suffering with mental illness.
This educational program is taught in key areas around Maine in the fall and spring. To find out specific dates, please contact NAMI Maine. Nami Maine also continues to invite families with children suffering from mental illness to its locally based support groups. To find out how to access a support group in your area, or to find out more about "Out of the Shadows: A Parent Education Program", contact Carrie Horne at NAMI Maine, 1-207-622-5767 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

As a host of threats continue to mount against organizations, more boards are weighing a broader, more proactive approach to crisis management. Boards are uniquely placed to anticipate and oversee crisis events objectively through the lens of risk management and the strength or weakness of an organization's crisis preparedness. Boards should hold management accountable for crisis management planning, to make sure the organization goes beyond merely having a plan in place, to ensure that top executives are trained in being able to respond to a crisis. Consider questions boards can ask to assess their organization's crisis preparedness.

Latest from R.C. Sproul
Anchoring Your Soul
from R.C. Sproul Dec 13, 2009 Category: R.C. SproulThe God of Christianity is not a frivolous God. He is not given to caprice or arbitrary acts of violence. His actions are not irrational expressions or whims. We do not know why at a given place or a given time natural catastrophes take place. Easy equations of guilt and disaster are ruled out by statements in the book of Job and the ninth chapter of John's gospel. When inexplicable disasters occur, we must say with Luther, "Let God be God." Keep Reading
The Manhattan Declaration: Why didn't you sign it, R.C.?
from R.C. Sproul Dec 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesOn November 20, 2009, a document called the Manhattan Declaration was presented to the public by a coalition of cobelligerents. The document is concerned primarily with three very important biblical and cultural issues: the sanctity of life, the meaning of marriage, and the nature of religious liberty. Without question, these issues are up for grabs in our nation. Keep Reading
Moving Toward the Goal of History
from R.C. Sproul Dec 08, 2009 Category: Articles"What goes around, comes around." This American idiom suggests a view of history that has more in common with ancient Greek philosophy than with the Judeo-Christian understanding of history. The grand difference between the ancient view of history and that found in Scripture is the difference between what is called "cyclical" and "linear-progressive." Keep Reading
Responding to Disasters
from R.C. Sproul Dec 05, 2009 Category: R.C. SproulHow do we respond to the violence of natural disasters? How does our theology deal with such wanton destruction that shows no respect for persons? The elderly, infants, and helplessly infirm experience no mercy in the face of natural disasters such as floods and storms that sweep away everything in their paths. After such events, the question on many people's lips is: "How could a good God allow such a thing to happen?" Keep Reading
Looking up to Heroes
from R.C. Sproul Nov 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesWhen I was a boy I thought like a boy. I behaved like a boy. I understood like a boy. I was deeply impressed by heroes. Mostly, they were figures from the sports world. There was Doak Walker, Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice, Sammy Baugh, Bob Waterfield, Felix "Doc" Blanchard, Johnny Lujack. I hoarded and traded baseball cards. Keep Reading
Resting on the Promises
from R.C. Sproul Nov 22, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt seems astonishing to the layperson that anybody would go to the extremes René Descartes went to simply to discover that he existed. What could be more self-evident to a conscious being than one's own self-consciousness? Keep Reading
Building on a Sure Foundation
from R.C. Sproul Nov 15, 2009 Category: ArticlesRené Descartes intentionally doubted everything he could possibly doubt until he reached the point where he realized there was one thing he couldn't doubt. He could not doubt that he was doubting. To doubt that he was doubting was to prove that he was doubting. No doubt about it. Keep Reading
Rejecting False Assurances
from R.C. Sproul Nov 14, 2009 Category: ArticlesIf we think the Bible teaches universal salvation, we may arrive at a false sense of assurance by reasoning as follows: Everybody is saved. I am a body. Therefore, I am saved. Keep Reading
Receiving Assurance of Salvation
from R.C. Sproul Nov 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesHow, then, do we receive assurance? The Scripture declares that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. This inner testimony of the Holy Spirit is as vital as it is complex. It can be subjected to severe distortions, being confused with subjectivism and self-delusion. Keep Reading
Asking the Most Important Question
from R.C. Sproul Nov 07, 2009 Category: ArticlesMany believe that assurance of eternal salvation is neither possible nor even to be sought. To claim such assurance is considered a mask of supreme arrogance, the nadir of self-conceit. Yet if God declares that it is possible to have full assurance of salvation and even commands that we seek after it, it would be supremely arrogant for one to deny or neglect it. Keep Reading
