It's very pixelated! I guess this is a zoom-in on the big map, and that you plan to redo the mountains? In that case the same mountain style should look just as awesome here as on the world map
Still working on my Eldoran setting and right now on the continent of Norumbega. The idea is to make a more precise political map of the continent, with main travel routes and a sense of the "unexplored lands".
I tried some coastal contour lines for a start. I have been thinking of different way to do the mountains (maybe more "19th century") but I've failed to find something convincing.
What do you guys think?
It's very pixelated! I guess this is a zoom-in on the big map, and that you plan to redo the mountains? In that case the same mountain style should look just as awesome here as on the world map
Yes, you're right! I've re-done the coast with more details to match the size, but mountains are just "zoomed" to fit. In fact, for now, I want to know if the coastline and waves is OK.
I would love to try another style of mountains, but it has to fit correctly... I could use the same style but that will take a lot of time and will be difficult as well... Any ideas of a good solution?
The lines around the coast look too much like a filter to me, the lack of precision in picking out the details makes them pretty meh. I've had the same trouble, the best solution I've found is to do each of line individually with a stroke effect always making sure to contract my selection area then smooth it rather than expand it as that gives you blobby rather than form fitting lines. I like the style of mountains you are going for and will be interested to see what solution you work out, but sadly have no useful advice in that regards.
What did you use to make those mountains? With an added gaussian blur to make them just shadows they'd be exactly the style I want for some of my maps...
I think the coastline looks great, a little too blurry but it's got a good rugged feel. I agree with Madcowchef about the wave lines though, they would look better if they picked up more of the detail on the coastline.
I really like this mountain style, it's very special but makes total sense and looks fantastic, but if you experiment with other styles I'd be excited to see those too.
Thanks for your comments!
@ Madcowchef & Lingon : yes, I wasn't really convinced and you pointed the "why" very well! I may try something else... I don't think I can do what you described MCC (thanks for the explanation), and I can't use the good tutorial of Diamond... or don't know how to convert it from Photoshop.
@ Raptori : it's a combination : mountains done in Wilbur, then a filter "liquid drawing" in Inskape, then a few corrections in PSP. With two layers, one with a lot of mountains/hills for a background, one for the major mountain ranges.
Cool thanks; I can't get Wilbur to work, so I'll have to work something else out. Bought a new monitor so I can take back the graphics tablet from my partner, so maybe I'll just wait for that to arrive and then paint them by hand
The coastlines look good to me, and I like the first of those two more, I think it fits better with the mountains. Based on what I've liked on other maps, both versions might be improved by fading the texture/line get further from the coast (an opacity gradient so they fade away I mean), but I can't quite imagine how it'd actually look.
..yeah I get the feeling I'm not being very helpful here D:

I have a custom grill that fit just fine with my stock plastic but with this new plastic I had to cut an inch off of the bottom of it so it would fit. I also have a large gap around my gas tank which was not there with the stock plastic. I purchased every piece of plastic new at the same time so you would think it would fit. Nothing lined up correctly. I will never buy Maier plastic again. Maier has totally different body lines to its plastic.

Jenna replies:
I am 22, I have been on the contraceptive pill since I first became sexually active at age 15. I have REALLY regular UTIs (I always pee and drink water after sex etc) and have been on antibiotics for that quite alot. I also experience a hightened sex-drive if I go off the pill even for a few weeks. I feel like, even though my GP doesn't even consider it, that my UTIs might be due the contraceptive pill.
Audrey's question continued:
So I'm looking into alternatives. I followed the links on this site about contraception but it looks like my only options are barriers or hormones and that seems like such a drag for me as I'm in a long-term relationship. Please help? WHEN will there be a male contraceptive? WHEN??
UTIs (urinary tract infections) can be such a drag! I am sorry to hear about your recurring UTIs and contraception conundrum.
UTIs are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra (where you pee from) and can spread to the bladder. Unfortunately, people with vaginas are far more prone to UTIs than people with penises, due to our shorter urethras and more potential for bacteria to enter and cause an infection.
It sounds like you are familiar with your body and do your best to prevent UTIs, so I am going to talk a little bit about the relationship between UTIs and birth control, other UTI suggestions, and other birth control options.
Some studies have shown that there is a correlation between oral contraceptives and urinary tract infections. Others say that women using birth control are more likely to have sex, and sex is directly related to UTIs, thus being on birth control indirectly leads to more infections. However, a study (as well as a doctor's opinion) doesn't affect your own personal experience. You know your body better than anyone else, and if you believe that your birth control pills might be causing your UTI, then it might be a good idea to change up your birth control method and see if something else may work better for your unique body. Additionally, it might be worth seeing different GP that will consider your concerns and work with you to find a birth control method that works best for your body.
Additionally, being on hormonal birth control can certainly decrease your sex drive: that's very well-documented at this point, even though it doesn't have that effect on everyone, and some users even find they experience an increased desire for sex while using the pill.
Some people feel that a change in libido is not worth being on hormonal birth control, but many others either do not experience any change in their sex drive or find that the benefit of being on a highly effective form of birth control is worth it. For more details on the possibler side effects of the combined hormonal pill, check out Birth Control Bingo: The Combination Pill.
While UTIs are pretty awful, fortunately there are certain steps that you can take (or things you can avoid) to reduce the likelihood of developing an infection. You're already aware that drinking more water can help prevent UTIs, which is great. Instead of focusing on drinking water right after sex, however, being well-hydrated all the time can be even more helpful. Additionally, making it a habit to urinate after sex or masturbation as you have been doing is definitely effective in flushing out your urethra of bacteria that can cause UTIs. There are several other tips and tricks that you can use to decrease the chance of getting a UTI.
In addition to actively preventing UTIs by trying some of the tips above, it sounds like you are also interested in changing up your birth control method. Before that, however, I think it might be helpful to take a step back and assess your attitudes around certain types of birth control with regards to being in a long-term relationship. You mentioned that using hormonal birth control or barriers are a drag because you are in a long-term relationship. Have you given any thought as to why you feel that way? Everyone's body is different, and you might find that the birth control method that works the best for your and your body is a method that you have not given full consideration to, simply because of your relationship status. Many people (myself included) have used barrier methods consistently as a form of birth control while in a long-term relationship, because of the benefits of using that particular method (low cost, accessibility, STI protection, and more). Being in a relationship shouldn't be seen as a barrier to the wealth of birth control options out there, especially if you have open communication and can discuss birth control together. For tips on talking with your partner about sex and birth control, check out Be a Blabbermouth! The Whys, Whats and Hows of Talking About Sex With a Partner.
If you do decide to explore alternative birth control options, there are other methods that are both highly effective forms of birth control, and also might decrease your persistent UTIs. You might find that a different method works better for your body, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences.
If you are looking for a form of birth control that does not have hormones and is also not a barrier method, then it is possible that the copper IUD (depending on where you live, it might be the Paragard, Flexi-T, Copper-T, Multiload CU250, or others) is what you are looking for. Everyone is different, so there is no one miracle birth control that will work for everyone. However, copper IUDs are a nice option for someone wanting to avoid hormones but also not rely only on barrier methods. They also work for up to 10-12 years, so if you are interested in a very effective, long-term birth control option, the copper IUD is worth learning more about.
If you're open to sticking with hormonal birth control, there are other forms that might work well for your body and are a little different than the combined contraceptive pill. These birth control options only contain progestin, and do not have estrogen. Some people find that the side effects are different, as estrogen interacts differently with your body than progestin.
-Depo-Provera (The Shot)
-the Mirena (hormonal) IUD
-Progestin Only Pills
Additionally, while the above forms of birth control are great options for very effective contraception, they do not protect against STIs. Even if you are in a long-term relationship, condoms act as back-up protection and can also decrease the likelihood that you develop a UTI, as they can reduce the amount of bacteria that you are exposed to.
While a vasectomy is a highly effective procedure for people with penises that do not want to get anyone pregnant, there currently aren't a whole lot of short-term or temporary birth control options for men besides condoms. And although deciding on a form of birth control and sharing the cost of contraception can be a joint responsibility, it tends to feel like an imbalanced responsibility, especially because most methods usually involve the female's body. However, today is your lucky day!! Okay, well not quite yet, but reversible male contraception is definitely in the works and will be available in our lifetime. There are a couple of studies that are currently still being evaluated and pending approval before any products or procedure will actually be available to the public.
Unfortunately none of these options are currently available, but the research is encouraging! Hopefully someday birth control will a more equally shared responsibility. For updates and information on male birth control, check out malecontraceptives.org.

When Mother's Day Is Hard
Not every Mother's Day is perfect, but how you handle that is key.
Most of us would confess that we take good things for granted, including our mothers. That is why, in spite of any shortcoming the tradition may hold, it is a good thing for there to be one day to remind us to do what we should do every day--show appreciation, love, and respect for our mothers. It brings joy, as past memories are recalled and the way is paved for closer relationships in the future. Houses of worship are packed on Mother's Day; in fact, for churches, only Christmas and Easter have larger attendance.
Yet there is a silent, mostly forgotten group of people--consisting of our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and even family members. They have in common a secret: Mother's Day is a terrible time for them.
Opal had waited until the church was empty. "Pastor," she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to be in church next Sunday. It's Mother's Day--and it is just too emotionally charged."
Opal was one of the best-adjusted persons I knew. She was an educator, highly regarded in her field. "I had one child, a daughter, who died from cancer," Opal explained. "You never, ever get over the loss of a child. I have learned to cope quite well, except on Mother's Day, when the emptiness steals in and almost overwhelms me."
This conversation happened several decades ago, and since then I've become aware of many reasons that Mother's Day is hard for so many.
For example, the loss of a mother will dredge up deep feelings on Mother's Day, especially if the loss came during a child's formative years. But the death of a mother at any age can be difficult, especially for those who were either very close to their mothers or those who had unhappy, unresolved issues with the parent they lost.

Bullpen Legend Ron Santo
Although Ron Santo is currently best recognized for his emotional color commentary on the Chicago Cubs WGN radio broadcasts, his 14 years spent as the team's third baseman made him one of the best in the business.
The Seattle native rushed onto the scene at Wrigley Field finishing fourth in the Rookie of the Year Award voting at just 20-years-old.
His following year began a string of 11 consecutive seasons playing no less than 154 games, including a stretch of five straight Gold Glove Awards from 1964-1968.
Santo also became baseball's first third baseman to collect more than 300 home runs (342) and five Gold Gloves, a feat later matched by Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt.
What's also noteworthy of Santo's baseball career is his introduction of the batting helmet's ear flap. During the 1966 season Santo suffered a broken cheekbone after being hit by a pitch.
He later returned wearing a protective ear flap on his batting helmet, thus the ear flap became a staple on all batting helmets thereafter.
Perhaps Santo's best season came during 1969 when the right-handed batter posted a .289 avg., 29 HRs and 123 RBIs.
However, the Cubs suffered a late season collapse against the New York Mets and failed to make the post-season, a black mark that haunts Santo to this day.
It's a crime the nine time All Star is not in baseball's Hall of Fame when considering his career numbers: .277 avg., 1,138-R, 342-HRs, 1,331 RBIs and the 5-Gold Gloves.
The Hall's Veteran Committee denied Santo induction by a mere eight votes in 2005, he later fell five votes short in the 2007 voting. Santo's next chance for the Hall of Fame is during 2009.
See Santo's career statistics at baseball-reference.com.

Her parents, Joseph and Virginia Funicello, signed up their shy little girl - nicknamed "Dolly" by her father - for dance and music lessons to help overcome her bashfulness. When she was four, the Funicello family moved to Southern California, where the future "beach bunny" would make a name for herself. In 1955, Funicello performed the lead role in "Swan Lake" at a dance recital at the Burbank Starlight Bowl. In the audience was Walt Disney, who was searching for talented kids to appear on his new television show, "The Mickey Mouse Club." He was so impressed by her performance that he immediately cast her as the 24th Mousek... Continue Bio >>

| He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.
This article contains spoilers, meaning it has information and facts concerning recent or upcoming releases from the Assassin's Creed series.
- "On this land, I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me is the outsider. In the name of liberty, I will fight the enemy regardless of their allegiance. While men of courage write history of this day, the future of our land depends on those who are truly free."
- ―Connor Kenway, Assassin's Creed III Gameplay Trailer.
Assassin's Creed III is an upcoming game developed by Ubisoft. It is the fifth main title in the Assassin's Creed series, and is a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed: Revelations.[1] Ubisoft has claimed that the game will be bigger than its previous console installments,[2] and will complete the story of Desmond Miles.
The game will be set between 1753 and 1783, and will focus on a new ancestor, Connor Kenway, who fought during the American Revolution.
Assassin's Creed III will be released on October 30 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 (October 31 in Europe), while the PC version will be released on November 20 for the United States and November 23 for the UK.[3][4] Details on the Wii U version's release are undetermined, as the console itself does not yet have a release date.
With the game in development since January 2010, by its release date, Ubisoft will have worked on the title for almost three years.[5] In a statement made by Yves Guillemot, he shared that "what we have seen is just fabulous."[6]
The game runs on a new version of the Anvil game engine called AnvilNext, which improves environmental effects. There will also be seasonal changes; the landscape is warm and open in the summer, but is covered in snow during winter, which subsequently affects gameplay.[7]
In winter, thick snow will cause people to move more slowly and stumble about in the drifts, and lakes and rivers will freeze over, allowing Connor to access new areas.[7] Although the seasons will change in line with specific memories, fog and rain will change naturally.[8]
Another technical aspect of the engine is that it can depict up to two thousand troops engaged in battle, in contrast to previous games' one hundred, along with detailed close-ups.[7]
Exploration will be based around a large countryside area known as the Frontier, which is one and a half times larger than Rome in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and not as empty as the Kingdom in Assassin's Creed, as one third of the quests and gameplay content are in the Frontier. The cities of Boston and New York may also be explored, and will have new details and ambiance.[7]
Since there will be a lot more travel included within the game, the fast travel mechanic is making a return, though there is now a whole new system of unlocking it, which is integrated into the natural game progress.[7]
More varied methods of movement have been added as well, including climbing trees, cliffs, and other natural elements, leaping over wagons, or sliding under obstacles. Other freerunning elements also have Connor jumping through windows, to trees, and then onto rooftops.[7]
Players can dual wield weapons, while fighting and stealth have been completely overhauled with new features, such as "double-counters," "multiple takedowns," and chain kills. Connor will go into battle with a wide variety of weapons at his disposal, including the knife, tomahawk, flintlock pistols, bow and arrow, and Hidden Blades.[7]
Context sensitive actions, such as using enemies as human shields, will also be included. The target locking system has been removed and replaced by automated enemy selection, effectively changing the combat dynamics.[7] In addition, assassinations can now be performed with weapons other than the Hidden Blades, most notably the tomahawk and bayonet.[9]
The combat system has been greatly improved, as there are thousands of new animations, few of which are carried over from previous installments. Simple defense and counter-attacks become more difficult, and combat is now focused on putting the player on the offensive, with attacks based on both speed and momentum.[7]
Desmond will use the new Animus 3.0, and will find himself reliving "significant events". 100% synchronization in memories returns, though synchronization will be treated more like experience in an RPG leveling system, except with a finite amount available.[7]
Activities completed within missions have their own value. The more synchronized Desmond become, the more the sync bar is filled, which can also be increased through replaying missions. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning that entire memories need not have to be replayed in order to achieve the 100% synchronization requirement.[7]
Economy in the game will be different, as Connor can now hunt animals, and sell the resources gathered from them. The quality of the kill also increases the value of the resource. Along with this, a new property system will be implemented.[7]
The regenerative health system similar to the type featured in Assassin's Creed will return. In order to regain his health, Connor must escape from combat and rest.[7]
There will also be puzzles similar to the Glyphs, but they will not be given by Subject 16.[7]
Platforming missions, like the Assassin Tombs or Lairs of Romulus, are making a return, though it is unconfirmed in what way they will be implemented. As stated by Corey May, "People like those. We like those. It's not something we'd remove."[7]
Ubisoft Annecy, who developed the multiplayer components for Brotherhood and Revelations, has been tasked with bringing multiplayer back with this installment, though they are staying tight-lipped about it and its features.[7]
So far, there will be a co-operative mode named Wolf Pack, where 2 to 4 players have to kill NPCs during a time limit, possessing 25 sequences. There is also the addition of Domination, a team mode, where Abstergo recruits will need to capture areas of the virtual map they are on, before protecting them from the opposite team.
So far, 12 Animi Avatars have been announced for Assassin's Creed III's multiplayer.
- Black Bird
- Carpenter
- Commander
- Huntsman
- Independant
- Lady Maverick
- Mountebank
- Night Stalker
- Pioneer
- Redcoat
- Robber
- Sharpshooter
Accompanying the Animi Avatars, four locations are currently known for multiplayer.
Following the official reveal, Ubisoft announced incentives for gamers who pre-ordered Assassin's Creed III from Amazon, GameStop, or BestBuy, in the form of a free steelbook casing that featured artwork by renowned comic book artist Alex Ross.
For newcomers to the series, the Assassin's Creed Double Edition was released on the PlayStation Network, which brought together Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II in a virtual compilation box.
Assassin's Creed III will also have four missions exclusive to the PS3, which will be available for download on the game's launch date.[10] The storyline will be based around Benedict Arnold, a Continental Army general who later defected to the British Army.[11]
With Assassin's Creed III: Liberation set to be released for the PlayStation Vita alongside Assassin's Creed III, linking the two titles will unlock Connor's tomahawk for the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré to use.[12]
Initially, the pre-release media for Assassin's Creed III came under heavy criticism by some fans and critics for its portrayal of Loyalist Redcoats. This was mainly because, in every trailer and image released since the reveal in March 2012, the victims of the game's protagonist Connor Kenway were almost exclusively of British allegiance; leading some to suggest that the game would be an America versus Britain story.
This claim was repeatedly contested by the game's developers, with lead writer Matt Turner denying it would be an "America Ra Ra" story, and that there were members of the Templar Order on both sides of the conflict.[13] Despite these assurances, criticisms for the decidedly one-sided portrayal of Loyalists continued.[14] This biased representation went on until the release of the AnvilNext trailer on 2 August 2012. In the trailer, Connor was depicted killing several Continental soldiers, finally supporting the assurances made by the developers.[15]
Ubisoft has announced several collector's editions of Assassin's Creed III; with three available in Europe and Australia, one available worldwide,[16] and two available for North and Latin America.[17]

Hermione Granger's dress robes
this wiki
Hermione Granger wore dress robes to the Yule Ball in 1994. They were made of a "floaty, periwinkle-blue material" and were considered to be attractive. Hermione also paid unusual attention to her appearance by using Sleekeazy's Hair Potion to put her hair into an "elegant knot at the back of her head".
When Hermione arrived at the ball, looking exceptionally pretty and on the arm of famous Quidditch player and Durmstrang champion Viktor Krum, she received a great deal of positive attention and compliments. Even those who disliked her, such as Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, could find nothing insulting to say to her.
In 1997, Hermione again wore dress robes to the Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour. They were lilac in colour, and she wore matching shoes. In this outfit, she was positively regarded by Ron, Viktor Krum, and the drunk men on Tottenham Court Road.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione wears a pink dress instead of blue dress robes.
- Again her robes were changed for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, where Hermione wore a red dress instead of lilac dress robes.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (First appearance)

It's my job to keep on top of these scams so hopefully you won't become a victim.
We're talking fake checks delivered to your door with crooks claiming you've won a sweepstakes... a con artist sending you too much money for that item you're selling on craigslist... or a scammer calling you on the phone, crying... impersonating a relative in trouble.
That kind of fraudulent acitivity lands Colorado at the top of the FTC's Consumer Sentinel Report with more than 21,000 people filing fraud complaints.
As far as identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the U.S. Colorado ranks 11th, behind states like California, Texas, and New York.
It all happened really quick!" says Tiffany Stocker, who works in the KKTV Sales Department.
We took an informal poll here at KKTV to see how many people had been victims of identity theft. More than half had encountered problems. Tiffany says a woman impersonated her, opening accounts all over town.
Tiffany explains, "I mean they spent about $15-20,000. They opened that up in instant credit accounts at about five different stores."
To combat ID theft, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is creating a statewide network called ITAN, identity theft advocacy network.
It will compile a directory, a list of those statewide who deal with victims. That will help everyone involved work together across county lines.
Next, authorities will look for any gaps and offer training to those who deal with ID theft cases. The goal... making sure all core responders are well trained and coordinated in their efforts.
The CBI has a 24-hour, toll free hotline. If you're a victim of identity theft looking for help, just call this number.
It's 1-855-443-3489.

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty designated space for peaceful purposes as the province of all mankind. Virtually all spacefaring nations now favor a new treaty to accommodate major changes in geopolitics and military technology. The United States, however, has blocked negotiations, citing potential threats to U.S. rights, capabilities, and freedom of action. Some self-proclaimed space warriors even argue that U.S. military dominance in orbital space will be the only guarantee for international peace. But in Twilight War: The Folly of U.S. Space Dominance, Mike Moore, former editor of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, argues that such American exceptionalism, Will not guarantee American security; it will guarantee conflict, and possibly, a new cold war. Come join us for a stimulating forum on what could be the most crucial national security issue of this century.

Afghanistan in 2011: A Survey of the Afghan People - Washington DC Launch
On November 15, The Asia Foundation released findings from Afghanistan in 2011: A Survey of the Afghan People -- the broadest public opinion poll in the country. Conducted by The Asia Foundation's office in Afghanistan, the 2011 survey polled 6,348 Afghan citizens across all 34 provinces in the country on security, reconciliation, economy, and governance to assess the mood and direction of the country. In-person interviews took place between July 2 and August 1, 2011. The Washington, D.C. survey launch was held at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) and was webcast live. With opening remarks by Asia Foundation President David Arnold, a panel of Foundation experts - Sunil Pillai, Technical Adviser, Kabul; Sheilagh Henry, Deputy Country Representative, Kabul; and George Varughese, Country Representative, Nepal and former Representative in Afghanistan - presented the survey findings and took questions from the audience. Andrew Wilder, the Director of Afghanistan and Pakistan Programs at USIP, moderated the discussion.

Why are these different?
- We heard the news on the radio.
- We watched the news on television.
In this book, the author says we must use television without the. Why? It makes me crazy. Is there a valid reason?
Why are these different?
In this book, the author says we must use television without the. Why? It makes me crazy. Is there a valid reason?
These are my assumptions based on the the Longman Dictionary entry for 'television'and the examples cited there. According to this entry,
The word television can refer to a) the equipment as well as b) the programmes broadcast on television.
From the examples cites there, I understand that we use the definite article when we are referring to the device.
On the other hand, it looks like we can omit the definite article if we are referring to the programmes.
The third entry on the dictionary is:
on (the) television:broadcast or being broadcast on television:
Probably, in this type of usage with the preposition, it is fine to omit or use the definite article.
I have thought about this for a long time, but I am afraid I can think of no reason why it is as it is. This is just idiom; you need to learn it without any overarching rule, alas.
There are several ways in English to denote that you are talking about something in general rather than a specific instance:
In some cases you could use several ways; not all are possible in each case.
The author has a big ego.
There is certainly nothing wrong with "we watched the news on the television" neither in usage nor in grammar.
There is a huge volume of ridiculous advice out there by experts who should know better.

Ltr3-10: State Fiscal Stabilization Fund
Official Letter
Official Letter
November 14, 2011
Dear County Superintendents of Schools:
This apportionment, in the amount of $5,328,088, is made to local educational agencies (LEAs) from federal funds provided to the state under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 (Public Law 111-05). These State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) are one-time, with an intended use to avert layoffs of teachers and other personnel, and further education reform in the key areas of teacher quality, standards and assessments, longitudinal data to improve instruction, and support struggling schools. The total amount of SFSF funds available to support kindergarten through grade twelve is $3.19 billion and is made available for appropriation over three state fiscal year (FY) budget authorities; $271 million is available for appropriation in FY 2010–11.
This apportionment provides final payment to those LEAs that applied for SFSF funding, completed the ARRA Section 1512 quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2011, and have a FY 2010–11 unpaid entitlement balance. The total amount paid to each LEA in this quarter (from FY 2009–10 and 2010–11 funds) is equal to the difference between total obligations and/or expenditures reported on the September 2011 Section 1512 quarterly report as of September 30, 2011, and SFSF funds previously apportioned. Any remaining amount payable this quarter, after funds paid in the SFSF seventh apportionment of FY 2009–10 funds, is being paid in this apportionment.
Beginning in FY 2010–11 letters of apportionment from the California Department of Education's (CDE) School Fiscal Services Division are no longer mailed to the county superintendents of schools. Instead, county superintendents will be notified of each apportionment by e-mail. Accordingly, the CDE has sent an e-mail to each county superintendent, addressed to the county's CDEfisc e-mail address, to inform him or her of this apportionment. The e-mail contains a link to the CDE Categorical Programs SFSF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/arra.asp where the letter and schedule for this apportionment is posted. The CDE requests that the e-mail be forwarded to all affected LEAs in the county, including direct funded charter schools, to immediately inform them of this apportionment.
Warrants will be mailed to each county treasurer within approximately two weeks from the date of this Notice. For standardized account code structure coding, use Resource Code 3200, ARRA – State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, and Revenue Object Code 8290, All Other Federal Revenue. The California sub-allocation (pass-through) number is Program Cost Account (PCA) 24997.
Entitlement Calculations
SFSF funding is provided to offset FY 2008–09 state general purpose (e.g. revenue limits) and categorical program funding reductions pursuant to Section 34 of Senate Bill 4 (Chapter 12, Statutes of 2009, Third Extraordinary Session, SBX3 4), Assembly Bill 3 (Chapter 3, Statutes of 2009, Fourth Extraordinary Session), as amended by Assembly Bill 56 (Chapter 31, Statutes of 2009, Third Extraordinary Session, ABX3 56) and a California Department of Finance letter issued under Control Section 28 of the Budget Act of 2009. Please note that reductions in state allocations are simply the basis of determining the distribution of SFSF funds. These are federal funds and the federal requirements described below govern their use.
An LEA's total SFSF entitlement is comprised of the state general purpose and categorical program reductions as described below:
Categorical Program Reductions – SBX3 4
Entitlements were calculated by determining the total reduction in each LEA's funding under the various categorical programs for which 2008–09 appropriations were reduced by Section 34 of SBX3 4.
State General Purpose Reductions – SBX3 4
Entitlements for school districts and county offices of education are calculated by determining the difference between the State Aid for Revenue Limits using the statutory deficit factor and what the Revenue Limit would have been with a deficit factor of 0.974987 as of the 2008–09 second principal apportionment (P-2). School District Revenue Limit State Aid was adjusted for a 5.7975 percent county office funds transfers increase to account for the deficit factor change. Charter School Block Grant Rates were recalculated by applying this same deficit factor; the revised rates are $5,772 for kindergarten through grade three, $5,860 for grades four through six, $6,030 for grades seven through eight, and $6,996 for grades nine through twelve. Charter school entitlements are the difference between the General Purpose Entitlements using these rates and the 2008–09 P-2 General Purpose Entitlement amount. Locally funded charter schools applied through their authorizing agency, and funding associated with the charter school is included in the authorizing district or county amount.
The general purpose entitlement amounts described above may differ from those posted for prior apportionments (released June 2010). General purpose entitlements were recalculated in February 2011 to allocate to LEAs the final 10 percent of California's grant award (known as Phase II) and to reallocate SFSF entitlements for LEAs that did not apply for SFSF funding.
Categorical Program Reductions – ABX3 56
Entitlements were calculated based on each LEA's share of funding reductions made to seven categorical programs for FY 2008–09, totaling $355 million, pursuant to ABX3 56 and Control Section 28.
Detailed spreadsheets showing the funding reduction in each of the categorical and general purpose programs are available at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/arra.asp.
For apportionment purposes, entitlements related to general purpose and categorical program reductions pursuant to SBX3 4 are paid from FY 2008–09 and 2010–11 funding. Categorical program reductions pursuant to ABX3 56 are paid from FY 2009–10 funding, in a separate apportionment.
Use of Funds
SFSF funds may be used by LEAs for any activity authorized under the following:

Second body found after trip on crocodile-infested river in India: London man was missing
17:30 26 May 2012
Update: The body of the second of two British men who died during a canoe trip on a crocodile-infested river in India has been found.
Michael Easton, from Holland Park, west London, and Ian Turton, from York, died after disappearing during an excursion on the Cauvery River, near Bangalore.
Mr Turton's body was discovered earlier this week.
The 497-mile Cauvery River runs across three southern Indian states, including Tamil Nadu.
The river is said to be infested with crocodiles, leading to speculation that the men were attacked as they travelled down it.
The two friends are understood to have set out on the adventure last Saturday but failed to return and the emergency services were alerted on Monday.
Their damaged canoe or raft was found on Wednesday, close to a known danger spot about 56 miles (90km) from Bangalore.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said today: "We can confirm the death of two British nationals while on an excursion on the Cauvery River near Bangalore, India. We are providing consular assistance to the families."

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- If you're planning to take the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge on Sunday, then you might want to think again.
Virginia Department of Transportation authorities say the bridge will close from 8:20 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the filming of a movie.
According to film.dc.gov, "The Theodore Roosevelt Bridge plays an integral role in the storyline. Aerial photography will be used to capture various angels of the bridge. While in the nation's capital the production company will film other iconic sites."
The movie was not named in any of the press releases.
VDOT is encouraging drivers to use the Key, Memorial or 14th Street bridges to get into D.C. Officials say drivers trying to get from Virginia via I-66, Route 50 or the George Washington Parkway will be detoured.
There are three options for Virginia drivers heading into D.C. from I-66, says VDOT:
1. Take I-66 East to Route 110 to the 14th Street Bridge
2. Take I-66 East to Exit 73/Lee Highway to the Key Bridge
3. Take I-66 East to Exit 72 to Spout Run Parkway to George Washington Parkway to the Memorial Bridge
Drivers headed from D.C. to I-66 can use the same options in reverse, say officials.
Message signs on I-66 will be up as far west as Centreville to let drivers know about the alternate routes. Police officers will also be present at several places on Route 50, I-66 and the GW Parkway.

How do you extract the giant frames from the honey bound box? Maybe I should replace them with foundation less for cutcomb. Maybe I can strap them into my radial extractor.
How do you extract the giant frames from the honey bound box? Maybe I should replace them with foundation less for cutcomb. Maybe I can strap them into my radial extractor.
Do you have a hive that is out of honey this winter. Just place it over the hive and they will move up to consume it. By the end of winter it should be mostly gone.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
Cut comb would be my preference.
So they are doing well? nice to see them thriving.
Do you intend to keep them that way? How do they fare as compared to other hives?
I am thinking of building double deep frames , keep two hive bodies on top of each other and let them go.. Do you think it will work?
Sorry for so many questions..
Do you build your own equipment? I haven't seen a frame that large since I saw the last Jumbo Dadant that I saw in Ohio. That sure was a bear of a super of honey to take off for Apiary Inspection.
Another thought is that if you have an extractor that these frames will fit into, you probably should place a couple of shorter frames in between every two jumbo frames, so the comb will be supported during extracting.
One theory behind the Jumbo Dadant frames is that bees do better on frames of continuous comb, rather than a number of shorter frames. Is that why you have these in your outfit?
Just because something is new to you, doesn't mean it is new, or revolutionary. Mark Berninghausen
just out of curiosity what do one of those frames weigh?
Oliver, I think you're just showing off. Of course, if I had comb as beautiful as that I'd show it off too.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) -- Chaz Williams posted a season-high 26 points and matched a career-best with 11 assists as Massachusetts won its fourth straight game, defeating East Carolina 88-81 Saturday.
Terrell Vinson and Jesse Morgan had 15 points apiece and Freddie Riley added 14. Williams hit a career-high 15 free throws on 16 attempts for UMass (7-3), which went 26 of 31 from the line as a team.
UMass led by as many as 17 points, 75-58, with 5:41 left to play but East Carolina (7-3) outscored the Minutemen 19-5 over the next four minutes to cut the deficit to 80-77 with 1:06 remaining.
Williams made eight free throws in the final minute for UMass and East Carolina missed five of its last six shots from the field as the Minutemen pulled away.
Maurice Kemp had 21 for East Carolina, which held a slight 34-32 rebounding edge but committed a season-high 20 turnovers.

Vol State Gets New Computerized Radiography System
Submitted on April 01, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Medical records are going digital and that means that the x-ray of your chest needs to move from x-ray film into a computer. The Volunteer State Community College Radiologic Technology program has new equipment for doing just that: the Konica Image Pilot Computerized Radiography System. Digital imaging allows radiologic technologists, and radiologists, to crop, measure and invert an image to get a better look at a specific part of the body.
"The resolution of the images is much higher than film, and there are more details," said Terri Crutcher Vol State Radiologic Technology clinical coordinator. "A doctor in his office will have immediate access as soon as the image is done. This brings us up to the same technological level as our clinical sites."
That means Vol State students will be able to practice on the same advanced equipment that they will be using in their clinical assignments in hospitals and doctor offices. The unit cost nearly $45,000, part of the issue in the college acquiring the machine. Students say the access to the latest technology is important to prepare them for the work place.
For more information on the Radiologic Technology program at Vol State visit: www.volstate.edu/RadTech
Vol State students practice using the new equipment with an x-ray of a human skull. Left to right: Cheri Filson of Lebanon, Brittany Miller of Westmoreland, Meredith Chapman of Hermitage, Sarah Combellick of Hendersonville and in the background Jamie McQuaid of Murfreesboro.

Los Angeles Film Festival
For close to a decade Jaeger-LeCoultre has established a longstanding connection with the film industry, a strong commitment to supporting the best artistic film festivals around the world, paying tribute to filmmakers and promoting the appreciation and preservation of film.
Today Jaeger-LeCoultre further supports the world of cinema by partnering with the Los Angeles Film Festival. In addition to the multi-year partnership with the Film Society of Lincoln Center that kicked off last year, including the Annual Chaplin Award Gala, the New York Film Festival, and the "Filmmaker in Residence" initiative in New York, the partnership will further cement Jaeger-LeCoultre's patronage of cinematographic art, actors and filmmakers.
From June 11th to 19th, 2014, Jaeger-LeCoultre will honor filmmaking at the 20th Los Angeles Film Festival and give their "Glory to the filmmaker" Award during the "Women Who Call the Shots: A Celebration of Women Directors and Showrunners" event on June 14th, a tribute to women directors and showrunners who are changing the stories on the screen and the statistics in Hollywood with their contributions. Panelists including writer/directors Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said, Lovely Amazing), Debra Granik (Stray Dog, Winter's Bone), Gina Prince-Bythewood (Blackbird, Love & Basketball), and showrunner Marta Kauffman (co-creator/executive producer, Friends, Grace and Frankie) will explore the current state of affairs for women in creative roles within the industry, and how women at the helm are having an impact on the medium.
This year, filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right, Laurel Canyon, High Art) who has also been selected to serve as guest director of the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival, will receive the first "Glory to the filmmaker" Award.
This year, the Los Angeles Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary and takes place at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles, with a diverse slate of nearly 200 features, shorts and music videos from 40 countries. The Festival's signature programs include the Filmmaker Retreat, Music in Film at The GRAMMY Museum®, Celebrating Women Filmmakers, Master Classes, Spirit of Independence Award, LA Muse and more.
A special section - LA Muse - launches this year, focusing on Los Angeles as a source of inspiration for filmmakers and artists worldwide. The LA Muse section is comprised of films made by talented emerging filmmakers that are set, shot or inspired by Los Angeles.
The Festival also screens short films created by high school students and includes a unique section devoted to music videos. The Festival hosts juried cash awards for best narrative and documentary competition features; best LA Muse feature; best narrative, documentary and animated short film; and a jury award for best performance in the narrative competition. Audience awards are presented to best documentary, narrative and international feature, short film and music video.

Red Hat Snowman House
Personalized Christmas Ornament$15.99
This giggling snowman looks like it is being tickled! The red and white knit looking cap is a bright color addition to this natural wood ornament made in Germany. The fine details on the house make it a great gift to give to friends who have bought their first home or to a neighbor who just moved in as a way to celebrate their first Christmas in the neighborhood. A three windowed house holds this jolly snowman. This cozy cabin has a fire in the fireplace as evidenced by the woodpile outside the door and the smoke billowing out of the chimney and the moon sleepily peeks out behind the roof. You will love this lightweight personalized German ornament for someone special this season.

Service Learning project teaches kids how to act out
Submitted on December 21, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Sometimes the best way to learn is to teach. For Volunteer State Community College students that means taking show business to elementary school kids. It's a Service Learning project for the Vol State students, which provides the elementary kids with a taste of acting.
"The biggest thing I want to instill in them is that drama is fun," said Vol State student Andrew Campbell of Gallatin. "I want them to realize that this is something they can grow with. It's a fulfilling thing."
Service Learning projects are happening in many Vol State classes. They're community engagement combined with new ways of learning. Campbell is organizing his project with the Unity Learning Center afterschool program at Merrol Hyde Magnet School in Hendersonville. The Vol State students are helping the Merrol Hyde kids to put on a production of "The Wizard of Oz".
"It's a great chance to increase student public speaking and self-esteem," said Unity Site Manager Kat Osborn. "Andrew really enjoys it, and the kids know it. They're drawn to him."
"Introduction to Theatre is a survey class where students get an overview of both theatre history and theatre production," said Associate Professor Dr. Judi Truitt. "The Service Learning project that Andrew and his group are doing involves all aspects of theatre production. I can't think of any better way for them to learn what theatre is all about."
The project has gone so well for Campbell that Sumner County Schools recently hired him to coordinate theater in several schools. Campbell says it's a dream to be able to get paid to do theatre, but in the long run he has a different goal.
"I'm actually in the pre-nursing program at Vol State," he said. "From here I go to anesthesia school. I want to be a nurse anesthetist."

The Alpha is a sport coupe in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Resembling a 1991 Dodge Stealth (a North American captive import of the Mitsubishi GTO with slight styling differences), the Alpha is designed with a sporty and modern body design, implying the vehicle is one of the newest models in its time, but the curve made Alpha more like Mitsubishi Eclipse. Perhaps coincidentally, the rear end of the Alpha reminds of that of an Alfa Romeo RZ, as well as the name. Having two doors, it only seats two, and is depicted with a front-engine, rear-drive configuration. Despite the Dodge Stealth (Alpha) being related to the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO (Super GT), the Super GT is much smaller.
The Alpha is powered by what sounds like an underpowered 4.0L V8, mated to a 5 Speed manual gearbox. The stiff suspension, combined with ineffective street tires cause the Alpha to fishtail wildly when under hard throttle or exiting a corner. ABS is nonexistent for this vehicle, making quick stops near impossible. The Alpha's flimsy construction makes it a poor choice for police chases and evading rival gangs, combined with the fact that it's a 2 door, so only one homie can ride with you when doing these things. Top speed is mediocre for a sports car, placed even lower than the Euros, the slowest of the super cars. An excellent driver, however, can trounce even the almighty Infernus in street races. The Alpha is chosen as the car CJ drives for the "San Fierro Fast Lane" street race, which to many gamers, is THE hardest race in the game. The Alpha's drifting personality and poor construction make the uphill sections treacherous, catching the lead Uranus a chore, and even when successful in doing so, keeping the car in one piece for the remainder of the race is a nightmare. Overall, the Alpha is a poor choice for new drivers, and an excellent choice for expert drivers looking for a challenge.
The Alpha can only be modified at TransFender. Colours:
- Car Colour 1 ($150)
- 2x Nitrous ($200)
- 5x Nitrous ($500)
- 10x Nitrous ($1000)
- Import ($820)
- Atomic ($770)
- Ahab ($1000)
- Virtual ($620)
- Acess ($1140)
- Off Road Wheel ($1000)
- Mega ($1030)
- Grove ($1230)
- Twist ($1200)
- Wires ($1560)
Car Stereo:
- Bass boost ($100)
Hydraulics ($1500)
- The Transfender in Las Venturas has charges 20% more for each modification except colours.
Mission appearances
- The Alpha is used in the mission Zeroing In for Cesar Vialpando, as part of the Wang Cars asset strand. Carl must follow the driver of a Uranus in the Alpha for it to be put in the Wang Cars showroom. Carl performs a PIT maneuver on the car, urging the driver to leave the car. Carl then gets in the Uranus and takes it back to the garage in Doherty.
- The Alpha is used in a race which can be accessed behind the Wang Cars showroom, just near the Pay 'n' Spray. The race, named "San Fierro Fastlane", pits Carl against three other racers to race around the northeastern area of San Fierro.
- When entered, the default radio station in the Alpha is Radio X.
- The Alpha may be a Bravado vehicle, as the car is based on a real life Dodge.
- Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and is often used to show the dominance of something or someone, therefore expressing the vehicle's quality.
- The Alpha will not appear if the "Traffic is Fast Cars" cheat is enabled, even though the Alpha is, indeed, a very fast vehicle.
- Its appearance is similar to the V8 Ghost
- It could be possible that the Alpha used in the mission Zeroing In belong to Zero as it is parked outside the garage after the cutscene and is the possible mode of transport for Zero from his shop to the garage.
- The name of the car, and the car it is based on (Dodge Stealth) are both military terms.
- The real-life Stealth has a 3.0L V6 and comes in front- or all-wheel drive. The V8 and rear-drive in this car is therefore incorrect.
- Spawns around Los Santos and Las Venturas, especially around the richer areas.
- Spawns on the strip in Las Venturas.
- Sometimes spawns in Prickle Pine in Las Venturas.
- Sometimes spawns in Vinewood, Los Santos.
- Spawns around Paradiso in San Fierro.
