Diving Into the World of Garry's Mod
Whenever I would hear mention of Garry's Mod, what would spring to mind would be images of Half-Life's G-Man placed in ridiculous poses, cross-eyed and wearing a grin so absurd that it would make the Joker blush. So I kept my distance from the sandbox physics game, having no interest in playing with virtual dolls or associating with the game's seemingly deviant community.
But the allure of the virtual sandbox remained, and every so often, a tale of some impressive feat of engineering executed within the game would draw me one tentative step closer. When a friend recently suggested I try it out, I dropped the façade of feigned disinterest and proceeded — dare I say it — full Steam ahead.
And so I plunged into the frightening world of Garry's Mod.
GMod is not so much a game as it is a toolset — a mod in which you make mods, if you will. The Steam Workshop is filled with user-created content, from vehicles, to weapons, to NPCs, to maps. Multiplayer servers run custom game modes that range from Left 4 Dead-style zombie survival to roleplaying communities. But the heart of GMod is the standard sandbox mode — which can also be played online with friends.
With no objective, sandbox mode allows you to do as you please with GMod's full toolset. You can spawn and manipulate objects, weld them together, and apply various physics-related properties to construct any number of contraptions that include moving parts.
Watch my friend and I futz about in GMod:
After we experimented with the various tools, and the thrill of spawning monsters on each other died away, my friend and I decided to give ourselves an objective — to construct a vehicle. It's easy to lose interest in a game with no focus or direction, and I felt my interest waning fast. But giving ourselves that mission paved the way for a journey of mirth and tomfoolery.
And at the risk of sounding trite, it's not about the destination, but the journey. Yes, we eventually managed to cobble together some pathetic excuse for a vehicle, fashioned from bathtubs and office chairs and held together by crossed fingers and prayers. But the fun to be had was during the construction process: the physics mishaps that hurled objects across the map; the accidental deaths that sent our ragdolls pirouetting through the air; the incidental discoveries unearthed through trial and error. And the laughs that accompanied the entire experience.
I get it, now. I understand GMod's popularity — which has led to over 22 million dollars in sales over the past seven years. Where so many other games have come and gone, Garry's Mod retains a perennial appeal through a combination of high replay value via mods, user-created content, and its sandbox mode, and a shared multiplayer experience that allows for a highly social environment. It's a winning formula that has been successfully recreated in Minecraft, which has sold over 20 million copies across all platforms.
While humiliating G-Man remains an integral part of the GMod experience for some, the beauty of the game is that there is so much more that you can do with it — and no other game out there that can fully replicate the experience.

Today In Hip-Hop: RZA Celebrates 44th Birthday
On this day, July 5, in hip-hop history…
1969: RZA turns 44 today.
The Wu-Tang Clan leader has a sprawling career that dates back to his early days as a producer. As the creative visionary for the Wu, he helped build their sound to the hip-hop masterpiece that many MCs have shown respect for. After several solo efforts and contributing to other major albums (Kanye West, Talib Kweli), RZA has expanded to writing books and composing and recording original scores for movies. Recently, he's also made his directorial debut with The Man With The Iron Fists, in which he played the main character.
The Abbot continues to stay relevant in hip-hop culture. His next focus is the forthcoming 20th anniversary Wu-Tang reunion album, titled A Better Tomorrow. With a drive and passion to find ways to innovate hip-hop, RZA deserves every bit of praise.
Happy birthday!

F. Dusting
- Maintaining a clean storage environment is an ongoing responsibility that will do much to preserve archival records. Shelves, archives boxes, and the exteriors of bound volumes should be dusted as needed to prevent dirt from being transferred to records during handling.
- Great care must be exercised when dusting archival records that are brittle, fragile, or damaged. Bound volumes with loose covers, missing spine pieces, or delaminated covering material must be handled with special care as well.
- Before reboxing or refoldering archival records, the exteriors of storage boxes or envelopes should be dusted with a soft cloth to avoid transferring dirt to documents during handling.
- Records that have not been protected by a closed container (such as those in wooden Woodruff boxes and some steel roller drawers or records resting on open shelves) should be lightly dusted with a soft brush before being placed in new, clean folders and boxes.
- Dust cloths should never be used to surface-clean or wipe textual records or photographs. Such action will work the dirt into the paper fibers, abrade the surfaces of photographs, and possibly result in permanent damage. Dust cloths should be used only for wiping shelves and the exteriors of boxes or similar enclosures and bound volumes.
- Documents that are dusty and dirty may be lightly dusted with a clean, soft brush of the same type recommended for dusting photographs. (See Supply List) Dusting should begin at the center of a document and extend out across its edges. Only documents that are in good condition should be dusted. Documents that are brittle or torn should not be subjected even to light surface dusting, since this action could cause or aggravate existing damage. Dusting only removes loose surface dirt and debris that have not become embedded in the paper; records with embedded dirt or stains that are obscuring textual information should be brought to the attention of a conservator.
- Photographs should be lightly dusted with a soft brush before they are inserted in polyester sleeves. (See section K Photographs, paragraph 2.)
- The exteriors of bound volumes should be dusted with a soft, dry cloth or brush to remove surface dirt that could be transferred to the pages during handling. The edges of volumes also should be dusted with a soft brush, making sure that the pages are held tightly together so that dirt will not sift into the interiors of volumes.
- Shelves should be cleaned before refiling storage boxes and bound volumes. It is meaningless to dust or replace boxes and clean bound volumes, only to reshelve them in a dirty environment. When cleaning shelves, work from the tops of shelves or compartments down to the bottom, to avoid transferring dirt from dirty to clean surfaces. To expedite dusting, it may be helpful to attach to book trucks small bags containing a supply of clean dust cloths. When shelves are extremely dirty, a damp cloth or sponge may be used effectively. Shelves must be completely dry before records are reshelved.
- Work areas should be kept clean. Dust cloths must be discarded when they become dirty, and brushes must be washed with soap and water and air-dried on a regular basis to avoid transferring dirt from one surface to another. (See Supply List.)

May 2, 2016
The Centers for Disease Control reports African Americans account for more than a third of the nation's AIDS cases, as a result, this Saturday has been designated National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
"I didn't sleep around, I'm not a drug user, I'm not a prostitute I thought I was in a monogamous relationship like many people and it happened to me," "Jane Doe" says.
Jane Doe discovered she contracted HIV five months ago during a routine prenatal screening. Doe says her boyfriend of three years infected her with the deadly disease, and now she hopes her unborn daughter is not at risk.
"There is a one to two percent chance I will not transmit it to her, which is very, very low and since I am not detected and I have a high T-cells," says "Jane Doe".
Doe is sharing her story on the eve of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness and Information Day. The national mobilization effort is designed to encourage African Americans across the United States to get tested, educated and involved.
"We want to encourage persons to come out and tell their stories we also want to hope by someone giving their message about their status that other people will be encouraged to be tested," says Yolanda Miller of the Leon County Health Department.
Organizers say in 2002 African Americans accounted for 54 percent of estimated new HIV infections in the U.S. Health professionals are hoping testimonies from HIV patients will help save lives.
Leon County health clinics offer confidential screenings at several of locations. You can also be screened at Big Bend Cares and SHISA.

We're less than two weeks away from the third season premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones. The long hiatus is almost over, and soon we'll be treated to ten exciting new episodes, starting with "Valar Dohaeris" on March 31.
Sky Atlantic is here to make the wait seem shorter (or longer, depending on how you look at it). The channel, which will start airing season 3 in the UK on April 1, has released a bucketful of photos from the third season. Some are just cropped versions of photos we've already seen, but most of them are completely new looks at some of our favorite characters (Tyrion, Bronn, Jon, Sansa, they're all there), as well as some new ones (Paul Kaye's Thoros of Myr is given plenty of prominence here).
It's going to take a couple of pages to get through all these, so when you reach the end of this one, flip over to keep looking (there are 68 photos in total).
Game of Thrones season 3 premieres March 31 on HBO.

BOULDER — Here's the required job description for a slot receiver: courage to go across the middle, quickness to separate from defenders, dependable hands and the ability to pluck a pass from just inches above the ground.
That describes Colorado redshirt freshman Nelson Spruce. He loves nabbing those low throws with circus-like moves.
Entering Thursday night's home game against Arizona State (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12), Spruce leads the Buffaloes (1-4, 1-1) in receptions (24), receiving yards (260) and catches of 10 or more yards (14).
At times, especially when catching the low ones, Spruce looks part tumbler, part Houdini.
"Nelson has a knack for getting his body in crazy places; he can really contort," CU wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy said Monday. "He gets his head around quick."
Quarterbacks are taught to throw low on routes in the middle of the field to avoid interceptions. As coaches like to say, throw low so if the receiver doesn't make the catch, nobody will.
At 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, Spruce isn't one of those Smurf-sized receivers. He can bend, twist and turn to get down in a hurry while remaining focused on the pass. In a short time, Spruce and CU quarterback Jordan Webb have developed timing and chemistry.
"With those low ones, fans might think that's a bad ball," Spruce said. "But Jordan works on those throws so receivers aren't stretched out.
"There's a lot of traffic in the middle. Coaches tell us to 'get big' and shield the defender and make the catch. A lot of times, they're low."
Spruce, from Westlake Village, Calif., in suburban Los Angeles, has been compared to former Buffs slot receiver Scotty McKnight (2007-10). Spruce has viewed game tape of the former New York Jets receiver and knows that's a huge compliment.
McKnight, also from suburban L.A., is CU's all-time leader in receptions (215) and receiving touchdowns (22). McKnight was picked in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Jets but these days may be best known for dating actress Hayden Panettiere.
The inevitable comparisons between Spruce and McKnight in style of play are valid, Kennedy said. Kennedy coached at Texas while Mc Knight played for CU. But in reviewing game film of upcoming opponents during his years in Austin, Kennedy saw a great deal of footage of McKnight while evaluating Big 12 defensive backs.
"Scotty may have had a step on Nelson, just a tad faster but not much more," Kennedy said. "The thing that Nelson gives us is obviously he is dependable and has good hands. He runs good routes.
"And he's just a redshirt freshman, so there's more ahead for him. He finds a way to wiggle through seams. He's doing a nice job."
Spruce sat out the 2011 season as a redshirt because CU had sufficient depth at wide receiver. He is on a pace to finish his first season with 58 receptions. McKnight caught 43 passes in his first season (2007).
Like McKnight, Spruce is developing into Colorado's go-to target when a sure catch is needed to move the chains. Spruce's best game came in the victory at Washington State, when he eight passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Seven of his eight catches went for first downs.
Improvement seems to show weekly.
"With Nelson, the biggest thing is confidence," Kennedy said. "Now, he knows what's going on in the offense. His mind has kind of unlocked his body to enable him to play faster.
"Before, he was thinking about everything. Now he is just reacting."

Kelly can't decide who to boot just yet. All new episodes on Tuesdays at 10P/9C.
When Cindy Birdsong, Sarah Dash, Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle (still calling herself Patsy Holt) auditioned for Newtown Records in 1961, the label owner infamously remarked that the lead singer, LaBelle, was too plain, dark and unattractive. Fifty years later, it's hard to believe that anyone would ever describe Patti LaBelle in such fashion.
To the contrary of that long forgotten record executive, Patti LaBelle has carved out a career of major distinction, first as the lead singer of The Ordettes, then The Bluebelles and later the groundbreaking trio simply known as LaBelle. She went on from there to a stellar solo career that's now in its fourth decade. LaBelle's voice is one of the most legendary in all of American music and her live performances, as well as her television performances, have long been in that "must see" category—witness her "kick off your shoes" tribute to Prince at the 2010 BET Awards.
And in terms of style, beginning with the LaBelle trio's famous "Battlestar Galactica meets American Feminista" look, to the array of hats and gowns that mark Patti LaBelle's every performance, no one could ever accuse the performer of being anything other than a singular icon. As LaBelle said back in 2004, "I think we helped make it easier for the girl groups like Destiny's Child. Yeah, we did our work. We paid a few dues."
Patti LaBelle's longevity in an industry known for tossing talents aside once they age past 25 is a tribute to her talent, perseverance and willingness to remain in touch with her audience, be they seven or 70. She has recorded and written songs that have transcended generations, from her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," made famous by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, the New Orleans funk of Lady Marmalade recorded at the beginning of the Disco craze, the Quiet Storm classic "If Only You Knew" and "You Are My Friend," which in the hands of Sylvester, became a Black gay anthem.
She's also kept in touch by listening to new sounds. Such singers, songwriters and producers as Mary J. Blige, Yolanda Adams, Kanye West, J. Moss, Marsha Ambrosious, Miri Ben-Ari, Mary Mary and Tye Tribett have appeared on LaBelle's most recent studio recordings. She is aware enough of what's happening with hip hop to be able to call out the late Notorious B.I.G. for his scandalous mention of her name on his classic track "Just Playing (Dreams)." As LaBelle recalled, "Yeah, I called him on that and he apologized. I just said 'Well you know brother, you really can't see me that way.'"
Among her contemporaries, LaBelle's voice is as powerful as Aretha Franklin's, while her sense of glamour rivals that of Diana Ross, yet she retains that down-hominess (check out her cookbooks) that remind folks of Gladys Knight, all the while inspiring a new generation of divas to reach for the high note and to step out on that limb. One great example was the version of Lady Marmalade featuring Lil Kim, Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya that appeared on the soundtrack for "Moulin Rouge" (2002).
In 2009, LaBelle was inducted into the Apollo Theater Hall of Fame, celebrating a career that began 50 years ago on stages not unlike those at the Apollo, a venue that she has graced hundreds of times.
LaBelle has also earned Honorary Doctorate Degrees from Cambridge University, Drexel University, the Berklee School of Music and most recently Temple University in her hometown. And now—50 years after she founded the Bluebelles—Patti LaBelle is the recipient of the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. Quite a life and career for the Philly girl once simply known as Little Patsy Holt.

Stan Wawrinka and Genie Bouchard were at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Monday night watching the LA Kings take on the Montreal Canadiens. Stan met LA Kings' Mike Richards while Genie, likely rooting for Montreal, tweeted her fun night from the WTA account:

NHL also interviewed Stan, who was apparently given a hard time by security. Don't they know who he is?

Foundational Principles of Good Government is probably
the most unique government course I have ever seen. It teaches
much more than just what the founders of our country did; it teaches
the history behind it. This is most certainly not your typical
politically correct version of American government. Some of the
unit titles are "Types of Government," "Duties and Responsibilities
of Governments," "Duties and Responsibilities of Citizens," "What
the Federal and State Governments Are Prohibited and Why," and
much more. There are nine units in all. This book will teach you
things about government that you never knew before.
There are discussion questions throughout each unit, and the book
is also filled with many direct quotes from the Founders. It also
includes many "strange but true" facts and laws, which was actually
my daughter's favorite part of the book. I feel that this is an
invaluable course for every high schooler, or even for an adult.
It is more than worth its $12 purchase price.

Graffiti insulting President Obama has turned up on two buildings right in the middle of a local downtown area.
The two buildings on Wilson Street in the Pitt County town of Fountain were vandalized over the weekend. The graffiti says things like "Obama is the Anti-Christ", "Save us from Obama", and "No more Obama".
WITN spoke with Chuck Gardner whose family owns one of the buildings. He says a Fountain police officer discovered the graffiti Saturday morning.
He says police are investigating and that his family plans to press charges if an arrest is made. Politics aside, Gardner says he thinks it's disrespectful to describe any president in those terms.
"I was highly disturbed because we don't know where this is coming from," says Gardner. "It might be harmless or it might be somebody. There's no telling what and I don't like this type of thing around here cause it scares me."
Gardner says he has made arrangements with the town to paint over the graffiti.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Two months ago, I wrote a column that expressed my concerns with investing in Argentina. The country's government has exhibited behavior that is unfriendly to business, and that is putting it nicely.Over the past year and a half, the Argentine government has seized control of the country's largest oil and gas company, YPF (YPF - Get Report), and instituted price controls to combat inflation. Those moves were enough to send many investors looking for greener pastures.

Back in September of last year, I was approached by British filmmaker Spencer Hawken, who alerted me to his special project DEATH WALKS. On the surface, it's simply a zombie film…but that would be missing the point of an ambitious and inspiring endeavor that took independent horror cinema by storm, breaking records and enlivening locals and big-names (like Jessie Williams and Francesca Ciardi) alike to lend their wares to the project. His mission wasn't easy: to make a movie without a budget, living off donations and volunteers…and he met many complications along the way, but DEATH WALKS has officially stopped shooting, and soon embarks on something as horrifying as any ghoul…the festival circuit.
Check out the two trailers for the film:
Here's the press release announcing its completion:
In June 2013 Brentwood based Spencer Hawken announced his intention to create a zero budget horror movie, the movie would not have a cheap look and feel, and would break all the rules when it came to zombie movies. When work began Spencer had no names to attach to his picture, by completion he had several.
Death Walks is based in an East London shopping centre, on the night of a massive street party strange things begin to happen at the centre. Firstly an Italian woman arrives called Lucrezia (Cannibal Holocaust's Francesca Ciardi) who promises that everyone is going to die. Her visit is followed by the arrival of Poppy (Tracy Beaker star Jessie Williams), from here the 25 people left in the centre are subjected to a night of terror.
"When we began filming it was an ambitious project" says Spencer Hawken "But as time went on it became more ambitious, I was able to bring a horror legend in the form of Francesca Ciardi back to the movie industry, after many big directors tried and failed. Then I secured Jessie Williams who you can find on the BBC each and every day with shows Tracy Beaker and The Dumping Ground. Then Lucinda Rhodes (Dream Team, Fall Of The Essex Boys, Cavegirl), Joanna Finata (Rush) and a scattering of other names came aboard. By the time final shooting came, I was having to sadly turn a number of big names from British television away."
Death Walks ran on considerably longer than expected, it was originally due to be shot over a period of 24 hours. Instead it filmed from 15th of July to the 17th of November, but Hawken claims the look is now better. The achievement for Death Walks is that it never cost a single penny to make, everything including insurance was given free of charge, or obtained on a contra basis.
"It's been a strange few months, first we shot a film for absolutely no cost thanks to the generosity of Romford's Mercury Mall, then we acquired a cast of legends in their own arena's, and finally a supporting cast and crew of almost 1000 who came back week after week for no cost to complete the task. During the process I was awarded funding for future projects, found work for many of out team, created a partnership with Lucinda Rhodes which already has two movies under it's belt, three in pre-production and two currently doing the rounds for funding."
Editing has now began on Death Walks, but no sooner has the film wrapped than the movie is about to become a franchise, Spencer is in serious talks to make Death Walks 2, and several of the cast are keen to reprise their roles. He promises the story will be a million light years from Death Walks "If you make a zombie movie, you have to be different, people will be both impressed and annoyed by Death Walks, but all will undoubtedly agree there has NEVER been a movie like Death Walks, hence how I was able to bring current and legendary talent aboard."
Death Walks is due to complete editing in February in time for submission to the global festival circuit.
Spencer Hawken and Lucinda Rhodes begin work on No Reasons next week, Road Rage in the Spring, and Godfathers Of London in the Summer.
Distribution for the film is still up in the air, but it's definitely going to be making the festival rounds thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, gathering over 2,500 pounds thus far, that you can STILL support.
Some might think this is a good opportunity to call it good, to quit while they're ahead. But no: Spencer Hawken and Lucinda Rhodes have 3 (!) films prepared for 2014, making me feel even lazier than I already felt. Enter: NO REASONS.
Last year Spencer Hawken and Lucinda Rhodes created the movie Death Walks, they followed this up with a very different horror story Revisited. Now they begin work on No Reasons, a thriller centered around every parents nightmare.
Set in Brentwood and Hornchurch the movie begins with the disappearance of 14-year-old Jodie, the movie then follows an 18 month journey for the parents as they try to discover what has become of their daughter. It's not until a private investigator steps in however that a terrible secret, and a hidden underground world becomes exposed.
The movie is being shot for a modest £30,000 which in movie terms is very little indeed, yet the creators have gathered a very interesting cast together that includes some big names from yesteryear. "I'm a big believer in picking up people that have been forgotten by the mainstream, we have a clutch-full of very popular former Eastenders stars, a once Oscar nominated actress, and some familiar faces doing something very different to how we normally see them," says Spencer Hawken, "…some of whom we have already gone public with, others we are keeping tight lipped about for as long as possible. I love when your sa watching a film or a TV show and suddenly this familiar face pops up you were not expecting."
Hawken describes No Reasons as a tale unlike any other, a bit like Grange Hill meets Saw. "I'm a big believer in not doing what others are, No Reasons is a genre-jumping movie, with some very edgy ideas, and a very vivid imagination."
Names currently attached to the project include Daniel Peacock (Robin Hood – Prince Of Thieves), and Jessie Williams (TV's Tracy Beaker and The Dumping Ground).
Filmmakers like Spencer Hawken are what make covering the horror industry so fun, and interesting. I wish Hollywood had more like him. I can't wait to see what DEATH WALKS and View From The Edge Films brings us in the coming year.

Friday practice to include session for testers only in 2012?
2 September 2011
FIA president Jean Todt is hoping to revise Friday practice next year and have one session dedicated solely for test and reserve drivers.
His proposal has been tabled in a bit to help young drivers make the step up to the pinnacle of the sport in the wake of restrictions on in-season testing.
Although it looks like there may be some changes on that front next season [see separate story -
click here
], the plans for Friday practice, according to reports by Finland's
Turun Sanomat
, will see the current two 90-minute practice sessions split into three 60-minute sessions, with the opening one reserved solely for test and reserve drivers.
Such a proposal would be good news for the likes of McLaren's third driver Gary Paffett and Ferrari's Jules Bianchi, who would both then benefit from track time during an F1 weekend.

Recruitment firm Seven Step RPO announced Wednesday that it plans to hire 250 new employees to staff a new office the firm just opened in Denver.
Seven Step is a recruitment process outsourcing firm, meaning it helps companies fill job positions through its own recruitment process. The firm said it opened the office in Denver, in part, to increase its presence in the western part of the country.
"We chose Denver for many reasons, including its booming high-tech market, proximity to our West Coast clientele and its wealth of dedicated, highly educated professionals," said Paul Harty, president of Seven Step, in a statement.
The firm's 15,962 square-foot office is located in Civic Center Plaza at 1560 Broadway, according to the statement.
Seven Step, founded in 2007, is based in Boston.

WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. ( TheStreet) -- If you stare at the Thomas Kinkade painting on your wall each day thinking "There's my retirement fund," prepare to pour skim lattes until you're 90.Collecting as a hobby can be a fun, worthwhile and potentially lucrative way to pass time. Amassing collectibles as investments, however, can be a disappointing endeavor yielding nothing but piles of devalued tchotchkes for the next of kin to sort through.

Mika Kennedy breaks down the recent Supernatural Con in Burbank and what a fan event means to the followers of such a show.
By Mika Kennedy
Conventions (or "cons", in the fannish parlance) like Creation Entertainment's SupernaturalCon in Burbank, CA aren't looking to secure their next legion of television-watching prospectives. They're not like San Diego's Comic-Con, with a warehouse full of vendors, promotional panels, or enticements designed to help you remember their name. If you've been to Comic-Con in the last six years, you're there for what's to come--television's new spread of genre shows this season, exciting upcoming developments in extant genre shows, the newest set of genre tropes graving the silver screen this summer.
Supernatural's Burbank Con isn't like that, nor does it try to be. "News" doesn't factor in, and rarely does "new" in any sense. If anyone was there to glean some juicy spoilers, talk candidly and specifically about what the next few episodes will have to offer, they walked away empty-handed. And if you stop to think about it, it makes sense: within the realm of single-series fan conventions it's a sure bet that your target audience, by virtue of the rapid-fire dissemination of info via Twitter, Tumblr, and LiveJournal (the dinosaur of this triumvirate)--they already know the hottest info you could possibly offer. There's almost no point in bringing any news to the table, because your audience already heard it from Ask Ausiello; they Tweeted a producer and received an answer; someone hiding in the bushes in Vancouver Instagrammed paparazzi photos of that day's scenes and now the entire Internet's already seen it. Should you disregard this ineffable truth and choose to divulge something at the con, the fans on the outside will absolutely hear about it before half the audience does, thanks to the more nimble-fingered Twitterers in attendance. And I can speak from experience on that one--the first thing one of my Internet pals said to me when she learned I'd been to the Burbank Con was, "SO YOU SAW JENSEN IN A HOODIE???"
Jensen Ackles plays one of the pair of brothers who comprise the bare entirety of Supernatural's regular cast members. He had indeed made an appearance, and I had indeed seen him, but the revelation he'd been hoodie-clad that weekend was certainly new to me. True, this tidbit isn't a real "spoiler", the way TV Guide might conceptualize it, but the news hit the big time online; everyone from Italy to Nova Scotia was abuzz before the day was out. But I digress.
Cons like these--the single-series fan conventions--serve two major purposes:
1) Naturally, they are lucrative. At Burbank, the proximity of your seat to the main stage is determined by your ticket price: general admission is in the back, at prices on par with a theme park day pass ($30-50); the rest of the pricing spectrum you can interpolate from the Gold Members, sitting mosh pit-close, who've proffered a generous $500+ for their seats. Whether these sums count for anything in the television industry is debatable, but the sheer persistence of conventions would suggest their financial merit. And there are thousands more to be made via memorabilia auction--canvas posters can go for $250-750, depending on who's signed it. At Burbank this money went to charity, but you see now what convention cash flow can be like at cons. These are not Mom's Basement; they are business ventures.
2) Cons are also crowd-pleasing, cult-growing, meme-spawning tributes to the power of fandom (which, yes, means exactly what you think it means--a kingdom of fans). These cons are for the die-hards, the hard-and-fast-in-loves--the people who, after seven seasons, still want more. This isn't to say that all the die-hards attend, of course, and it isn't to say that every con caters to the same loyal three hundred. Most of the attendees in Burbank were first-time con-goers; and this is, again, after seven years of similar conventions. But even then, they are not about inspiring new viewers, but keeping the ones you already have. Staking your claim to their fannish attentions, as it were.
Supernatural in particular seems willing to acknowledge how close the relationship between a show and its fandom really is. One of the show's major components is "meta" storytelling--in one episode, our heroes Sam and Dean discover a man who has been making his living publishing a trashy pulp fiction series, the plot of which is twin to the plot of the show itself, complete with book titles that align with the actual episode titles (4x18 "The Monster at the end of the Book"). In another, they stumble upon a convention dedicated to said book series, complete with its own fan fiction writers, costumed con-goers, and role-playing shenanigans (5x09 "The Real Ghostbusters"). Its sixth season (2010-11) took the meta a step further, and a bolt of Divine Intervention landed Sam and Dean in a strange "TVland", which is--you guessed it--filming a television program called Supernatural(6x17 "The French Mistake").
How does this illuminate the relationship between fan and film? During the same season as TVland, Supernatural featured on the cover of TV Guide, after winning a competitive online poll. This year it won the People's Choice Awards for both Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Best Drama. Obviously, winning popularity contests will only get you so far in life, but when you consider that the show regularly pulls in less than 2 million viewers, and was in competition with major network dramas like Fox's House, MD (which averaged 10.32 million viewers for its eighth season last year), there's enough there to give one pause.
Through television meta, characters caricature the actors and viewers out in the real world, to the point where the fourth wall only selectively exists. Through the sheer power of the popular vote (and in Supernatural's case, the popular vote-multiple-times-multiple-days) the real-world viewers have a scary hold over what pedestals their show might habitate. You can go by the numbers, or you can glean behavioral data from the con-goers all around you, but there's a conversation happening here. It creates a feedback loop wherein a TV show becomes inextricable from those who watch it; and that is a powerful thing. Going to a con like this is like watching that relationship unfold in real time.
The actors take the stage, in front of a theatre full of breathless fans. People queue up to ask questions. Some of the questions are personal, some are silly, most are reasonably professional; the answers entertain a similar range. They mostly contain information freely available on the Web--from interviews, from other cons. It's not about the information so much as it is about the pure idea of speech. People are there to hear it in the actors' own voices, in real time, with body language to match. It seems a simple thing, but it matters deeply.
Still, it's difficult to know where to draw the line, where capitalism starts and where goodwill begins, where fact and fiction lie, where one might find that nexus between private life and professionalism. And it's not just the fans straddling the boundaries ("Which of your co-stars would you most like to kiss?"). Jared Padalecki, who plays the other of the aforementioned brother pair, announced the progress of his wife's pregnancy to the entire room. His wife (Genevieve Cortese) starred in the show a few years back. Is it a professional statement? A friendly, personal one? Or simply an awkwardly personal one? There is no easy answer. But the Padaleckis recently welcomed a newborn son, Thomas Colton, into their lives. The Supernaturalfandom raised $20,000 for St. Jude Children's Hospital in his honor; the family then matched it, for a grand total of $40,000 to charity from Supernatural et al.
Whatever draws a fan to the show, be it a love of horror and monstrosity; a love of hot male leads; a love of homoerotic subtext; a love of hot female leads from other, older shows who happen to be guest-starring in an episode; an avenue for coping with trauma, or death--for all its meta slapstick and its (lovingly implemented) genre kitsch, Supernatural still makes time for depression, illness, and the seemingly impossible task of surviving the death of a loved one--wherever you're coming from, that draw is personal. What fandom does is force all of those isolated relationships with a static work of fiction into a multifractal conversation with each other. What a con does is take all that a step further, and extend that conversation to, if you'll forgive the gross metaphor, what lies beyond the pale. The cast and crew behind the green curtain, etc.
Supernatural describes itself as a family, in the way that I think many television shows would be quick to match; some may even include their fans as part of their families, as Supernatural (blatantly, fourth wallless-ly) does. Maybe it's a little over-friendly, idealistic, saccharine, and A Very Good Marketing Plan in any case. But think about the last dinnertime conversation your family had--the one that's now basically distilled itself to a series of humorously insulting quips and one-line zingers. Unless your dinner was particularly catastrophic, your memory is probably not of the speech itself, or of revelations that outline striking new developments in your family's circumstances. Instead, it's the simple memory of shared conversation.
And that's what this kind of con sounds like.

Who trains in your household?
We have a two-person household, and we're trying to figure out the best training techniques and tricks, etc. The biggest roadblock we're running into is that my DH and I have two different training philosophies and at the moment I do 95% of the training at home, but when we go to class, my DH gets all fussy if he doesn't get to train Bear at class. I'm totally confused because what's the point of trying to train the puppy at class for an hour, if your not going to follow up on it at home?
I realize, we're experiencing a break-down in communications between me and my DH and we're working on fixing that. I guess, my question is, if we cannot agree on a cohesive training style, signals, words, etc... should one person be the only trainer?
An example, I taught Bear "off" meant "get off me, get off the couch, etc" but when he's on the couch, my DH will say "down" then get irritated when Bear lays down on the couch.
I feel like a failure, cause come on, we're adults, we should be able to get our $tuff in gear and move forward as a unit, but all we're doing is confusing the puppy when we try to train together. When I train by myself, Bear is an angel and attentive and we make great strides. But then my DH comes home and all the work goes out the window.
I'm trying to empathize with my DH, who gets annoyed and frustrated b/c the puppy "doesn't listen to him."
His biggest complaints are "he won't walk nicely" or "he won't get in the car" or "he won't fetch" and they all end with "like he does with you."
I told him he has to work with Bear more frequently and be presistant, cause it's not like the puppy was born thinking "hey, I'm going to obey that funny acting female," it took alot of time and patience on my end and I STILL think my pup is a little brat.

I had to smile reading your post, do you have cameras in my house?? It's been just like that here...for years! I worried about it in the beginning too but with each dog they have always figured it out.
Mommy teaches and makes them mind, daddy plays and pretends to make them mind. Mommy uses words they understand, daddy makes up words.
I wouldn't worry about it as long as you remain in charge in Bear's mind you'll be OK. My DH doesn't 'tell' a dog to sit he 'asks' ie: siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt???????????
Dogs are smart and they figure these things out.
There's too many other stresses in a marriage to add dog training to. Have fun and let DH think he's training Bear

I am Molly's trainer. My bf goes to all of our classes and will take notes because sometimes I will miss something when I am working with Molly. We established that I am Molly's handler 100% before she came home. I am training for competition so it is important that the training is consistent so she doesn't get confused. Even differences in voice and tone when saying a command, marking a behavior, and praise can confuse a pup.
My bf also had a harder time with Molly as a young pup because she wouldn't listen to him. She grew out of that and is great with both of us now and he does NO training with her. She will behave and listen to him the way she listens to me. I think the real problem was my bf always wrestling and rough housing with her. She probably thought he was a dog.

My GF has been telling me to let my DH do things his way, even though I KNOW my way is faster and easier b/c she says if I take control too much, he'll get tired of it and leave. And he eventually does things, but they take forever for him to do. With Bear, there is a higher risk, b/c if I teach him xyz means put your bottom on the ground and he does behind me and teaches him zxy means put your bottom on the ground, then we'll get a dog that goes through the motions (hooman speakz! I *sits* *lays down* *shakes* *rolls over* *comes* *sit* so on and so forth "Iz rite?")
I'll try to beat out a command list so at least we use the same hand signals and words.
Hecate's Hellhound, Bearer of Mischief, CGC - "Bear"
Hecate's Hellhound, Gypsy Magic - "Gypsy"
That's the secret right there! I made DH learn the hand signals (I told him a dog doesn't understand without hand signals LOL) so no matter what word he uses the dog understands sssshhhhh
I've asked my DH to exercise Bear for an hour as soon as he gets home and again right before I get home (since I work major OT, at the moment, and don't get home until late) but I'm beginning to suspect my DH comes home and plays computer games until I get home.
My first question, after "Honey, I'm home *kiss kiss* How was your day?" is "did you take Bear for a walk?" "Uh no. We wrestled."
When I get home, I take Bear out back and he runs around like someone stuffed a rocket up his bum for about 30-40 mins. My DH finds this "boring" but it lets my weary mind rest and his HYPER body run so it's a win-win for me. I'll even run around and let Bear chase me and we'll play tag (though he's starting to tag me with his teeth. ) then we'll come back inside and he'll get a chewie and I'll relax on the couch until bed time.
Hecate's Hellhound, Bearer of Mischief, CGC - "Bear"
Hecate's Hellhound, Gypsy Magic - "Gypsy"
I listened to him for 30 mins, tried to explain the logic behind it; then the trainer comes in and shows him the same hand signal I've been using for weeks and he's all like, "Oh, that makes so much sense! I'm totally using that signal."
I love you, DH, but sometimes... *shakes fists* You're so lucky your cuter than the puppy.

Soon after we brought the puppy home, my husband and I made a list of all the commands our dog might ever learn and agreed on the words we'd use. Some of them, like "Heel", "Front", "Come", etc. are "reserved words" for formal obedience. No one is allowed to use/train those words except me. We have the list on the ipad.
Problem is, the dog can't read.

I live by myself but my BF at the time use to come over and get frustrated when the puppy didnt listen to him. At times I felt like I was training two of them... Once chloe reached a level in her training she started to accept commands from other ppl too. I wouldnt worry to much, just hang in there and enjoy the ride
ps at our training school they say that the person who holds the most "power" at home should attend the classes and work with the dog. Then once the dog is trained you train the rest of the house lol

Calculation of the regulator of a pure cubic field
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: A description is given of a modified version of Voronoi's algorithm for obtaining the regulator of a pure cubic field . This new algorithm has the advantage of executing relatively rapidly for large values of D. It also eliminates a computational problem which occurs in almost all algorithms for finding units in algebraic number fields. This is the problem of performing calculations involving algebraic irrationals by using only approximations of these numbers.
The algorithm was implemented on a computer and run on all values of such that the class number of is not divisible by 3. Several tables summarizing the results of this computation are also presented.

1st Global Conference: Making Sense of: Play (July 2012, Oxford, United Kingdom)
full name / name of organization:
Dr. Rob Fisher/ Inter-Disciplinary.Net
contact email:
1st Global Conference
Wednesday 11th July 2012 – Friday 13th July 2012
Call for Papers:
The interdisciplinary project Making Sense Of: Play seeks to examine the various meanings of "play", elucidate their inter-relationships and trace the origins of the patterns of play and their place in the human condition. Variations in cultural conditions naturally impact on play, its meanings and its forms, as do, often in a different way, economic inequalities both within and between different cultures. Our deliberations will necessarily takes this into account. In many languages, as in English, throughout its etymological history "play" has been closely connected to the world of children and make believe. Academic study of play, too, deals predominantly with various aspects of children's play and its importance in development. There is, in fact, a lack of balance between the study of play in relation to children and childhood on one hand, and "play" more generally, as outlined above, on the other. For this reason our project explicitly emphasizes the comparatively under-explored aspects of play in linguistic, literary, philosophical, historical, psychological and evolutionary frames of reference.
The following broad themes are suggested: Play (as both – or either – freedom and constraint)
- in politics
The above themes are not unrelated; they represent dimensions rather than categories and can therefore be combined in presentations.
The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers will also be considered on any related theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 13th January 2012. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday11th May 2012. Abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following information and in this order:
a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d) title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to 10 key words
E-mails should be entitled: PLAY Abstract Submission.
Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain from using footnotes and any special formatting, characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline). Please note that a Book of Abstracts is planned for the end of the year. All accepted abstracts will be included in this publication. We acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply from us in a week you should assume we did not receive your proposal; it might be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an alternative electronic route or resend.
Joint Organising Chairs:
Wendy Turgeon
Rob Fisher
The conference is part of the Probing the Boundaries programme of research projects. It aims to bring together people from different areas and interests to share ideas and explore various discussions which are innovative and exciting.
All papers accepted for and presented at this conference will be eligible for publication in an ISBN eBook. Selected papers maybe invited for development for publication in a themed hard copy volume(s)

Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a dab of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Blow-dry two-inch sections with a round brush applying upward tension at the root for lift, then turn the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length.
Step 2: Once dry, create a deep side part and run a flat iron over half-inch sections for sleek results.
Step 3: Apply a few drops of shine serum onto your hands and run your palms over your hair to smooth the surface and eliminate frizz. Tuck one side back.

SMA: Soldiers have duty to end sexual assault, prevent suicides in Army

- Number of suicides in Army drops in 2013
FORT BELVOIR, Va. (Army News Service, Feb. 5, 2014) -- Soldiers have a duty to protect each other from sexual assault, help a battle buddy at risk for suicide, and create a safe and respectful environment for all members, said the Army's top enlisted adviser.
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III spoke to Soldiers Monday, during a town hall meeting at Fort Belvoir, Va.
Sexual assault in the ranks, he said, erodes the trust Soldiers and the American people have placed in the Army.
"If someone is not acting within our values, within our beliefs, you have a duty to do something about it," he told the forum.
Soldiers must focus on ending sexual assault in the ranks by using the same determination and willpower that they do on the battlefield, he said. The Army profession, he said, demands a Soldier take action if something isn't right.
"We have too many bystanders. If you are a bystander, you are part of the problem," he said.
The American people have entrusted the Army with their loved ones, he said, and the Army must ensure they are protected.
"When we're given someone's most precious gift -- their son or daughter, sister or brother, husband or wife -- we have a duty to treat them with dignity and respect and create an environment of safety and security," he said.
Sexual assault is damaging to the men and women who are victims of the crime, he said, and to the American people who expect the Army to protect its Soldiers and the nation.
"When we have challenges, like we have with sexual assault, we erode not only internally the trust that we had amongst each other, but we start to lose the trust of the American people for whom we serve," he said.
There is no question that the United States Army is the "most competent force on the face of the Earth," but there are challenges, he said.
"The American people look at us with a different perspective; they demand more from the United States Army Soldier than they do from the average citizen," he said. "It's part of what makes us the best Army in the world."
Every Soldier can make a difference by watching out for a battle buddy and seeking help when someone is in trouble and at risk for suicide, he said.
"We've had a reduction of suicides with the active component. We had an increase, however, for our Guard and Reserve components," he said.
According to recent statistics, the Army said there were 301 suicides Army-wide in 2013 -- 125 in the active Army, 117 in the Army National Guard, and 59 in the Army Reserve.
The Army had 325 suicides in 2012 -- 165 in the active Army, 110 in the Army National Guard, and 50 in the Army Reserve.
A Soldier's commitment to another Soldier makes a difference, he said.
"What I ask you to do is to continue what you're doing," Chandler said.
"You can save someone's life. Think about that. You can do that. All you have to do is be that person of character who's committed to one another," he said.

- For the war itself, see Dominion War.
The Dominion War is a series of four novels set at the beginning of the Dominion War. Books 1 and 3 focus on the crew of the USS Enterprise-E, while books 2 and 4 are novelizations of the seven episode arc that began with DS9: "Call to Arms" and ended with DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels".
An anthology entitled Tales of the Dominion War, released later, collected a series of short stories based on the same conflict.
