Colorado Springs - Banished from the pulpit that brought him to national prominence, the Rev. Ted Haggard confessed in a letter read Sunday at New Life Church to "sexual immorality," calling himself "a deceiver and a liar" who has long struggled against dark forces.
But in baring his soul to an outside board investigating claims that he paid a gay male prostitute for sex, the 50-year-old Haggard denied being gay or engaging in homosexual behavior, the board chairman told reporters.
Haggard's admission to the four- member panel that he solicited a massage from his accuser - former male escort Michael Forest Jones of Denver - was grounds enough to fire him Saturday for "sexually immoral conduct," said the Rev. Larry Stockstill.
At the same time, Stockstill cautioned Sunday that the board found discrepancies in Haggard's account. He did not elaborate.
Another board of Christian leaders is being formed to further investigate and counsel Haggard, which could include drug tests, consulting with a clinical psychologist and a polygraph test, Stockstill said.
"He is not in touch with truth and reality, and he readily admitted that," said Stockstill, who heads a Baton Rouge, La.-area church where Haggard broke into ministry.
At two services Sunday, about 14,000 New Life members gathered to hear their former leader's apology in what was described as an "extraordinary family meeting.
With TV satellite trucks parked outside, worshipers at the more heavily attended 9 a.m. service filled every seat and lined the back walls of what New Lifers call "the living room" - a church-in-the-round with six giant video screens and rock-concert-quality sound.

Stockstill read a two-page letter from Haggard, who has left town with his family to escape the media glare and work on family issues, church officials said.
Describing a lifelong battle against temptations contrary to his teachings, Haggard wrote that he had sought assistance "in a variety of ways." While he experienced stretches of "freedom," he wrote, "the dirt that I thought was gone would resurface."
"There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life," Haggard wrote.
He claimed not all of the accusations against him are true but admitted that enough are true to warrant his removal.
Haggard asked the congregation to forgive not only him but also Jones, who "is revealing the deception and sensuality that was in my life." Thank God for the accuser, Haggard urged, because his actions will make Haggard, his family and the church stronger.
Haggard apologized for adding to the confusion of the past few days by making "inconsistent statements" to the media. Haggard said he and his wife, Gayle, "need to be gone for a while," and will never return to a leadership role at New Life Church.
Many people wept as Haggard's words were read, reaching for extra boxes of tissue that church staff placed at each row. When the letter ended, there was a brief period of applause with a smattering of people standing.
A letter from Gayle Haggard was addressed to the women of the church. She professed her commitment to her marriage and the church's teachings.
"For those of you who have been concerned that my marriage was so perfect I could not possibly relate to the women who are facing great difficulties, know that this will never again be the case," she wrote, drawing one of the morning's few laughs.
"My test has begun; watch me. I will try to prove myself faithful," she wrote.
Under church bylaws, a board of overseers made up of Haggard's peers from other churches has the authority to investigate allegations of financial, moral and theological misdeeds and decide whether discipline or dismissal is warranted.
Stockstill told the congregation that after Haggard's confession to the panel Thursday, the group consulted other evangelical leaders, including Focus on the Family chairman James Dobson and Southern California Pentecostal preacher and author Jack Hayford.
Their recommendation was dismissal, Stockstill said. The overseers concurred.
On Saturday morning, Stockstill met Ted and Gayle Haggard at a lawyer's office. He shared the decision. Their reaction was relief, Stockstill said.
The oversight board will now shift attention away from Haggard and toward selecting his successor, Stockstill said. The church is being led on an interim basis by Ross Parsley, a staff pastor for 15 years.
A new panel that will further investigate and aid Haggard so far includes Hayford and Tommy Barnett, a Phoenix megachurch pastor and evangelist - both men of an older generation than Haggard's.
Haggard's letter identified Dobson as a member, too, but church leaders said Sunday that was undecided.
From the pulpit, Stockstill tried to reassure church members that their institution was safe and secure.
"God chose this particular moment to reveal Ted's sin," Stockstill said. "He chose this incredibly important time for this sin to be revealed, and I actually think it's a good thing. I believe America needs a shaking spiritually."
Stockstill said later at a news conference that Haggard indicated he recognized "warning signs" about sexual temptation early in his life.
Stockstill said he is confident that Haggard - like most conservative evangelicals - regards homosexuality as a temptation to be fought, not a predisposition.
The oversight board received no information about additional allegations against Haggard, Stockstill said.
In firing Haggard, the board cited only sexual immorality, making no mention of Haggard's admission to reporters that he bought methamphetamine from Jones but threw it away. Jones claimed Haggard used the drug.
Stockstill said politics played "zero" role in the haste of Haggard's removal, coming just three days before Tuesday's midterm elections. He said the oversight board received no political pressure.
Haggard also resigned last week as president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals. He seized the platform to press for greater evangelical engagement in environmental issues, advocating mostly market-based solutions favored by Republicans.
In an emotional first sermon as the church's interim senior pastor, longtime worship leader Parsley asked his congregation to pull together, to not let anger degrade into sin and - above all - to forgive.
"This is who we are as a church - forgiveness defines us," Parsley said. "Some people might say, 'Doesn't this show that Christianity is a sham, that it doesn't work?'
"I think it's important to realize pastor Ted is walking in the depths of redemption and obedience he hasn't walked in for a while.
"God is not intimidated by our sins."

What's next for New Life Church
Investigation: A board of Christian leaders is being formed to further investigate and counsel Ted Haggard. It could include drug tests, consulting with a clinical psychologist and a polygraph test, the Rev. Larry Stockstill said.
Panel: Southern California Pentecostal preacher and author Jack Hayford and Tommy Barnett, a Phoenix megachurch pastor and evangelist. Haggard's letter identified Focus on the Family chairman James Dobson as a member too, but church leaders said late Sunday afternoon that is not decided.
Haggard family: Haggard left town with his family to escape the media glare and work on family issues, church officials said. Haggard said in his letter that he and his wife, Gayle, "need to be gone for a while" and will never return to a leadership role at New Life Church.
Replacement pastor: The church's board of overseers will shift attention away from Haggard and toward selecting his successor, Stockstill said. The church is being led on an interim basis by Ross Parsley, a staff pastor for 15 years. The board of overseers is made up of Stockstill of Bethany World Prayer Center in Baker, La., where Haggard worked as a youth pastor more than two decades ago; the Rev. Mark Cowart of Church for All Nations in Colorado Springs; the Rev. Tim Ralph of New Covenant Fellowship in Larkspur; and the Rev. Mi chael Ware of Victory Church in Westminster.

The employees at Buck's -- from Emil, the errand boy, to old Pop Henderson, who had started as errand boy himself twenty-five years before -- possessed the quality of loyalty. They were loyal to the memory of old man Buck, because they had loved and respected him. They were loyal to Mrs. Emma McChesney, because she was Mrs. Emma McChesney(which amounts to the same reason).

become their allies, abandoned them, the
Mexican governleilt grew more violent, and
even Austin opposed any effort at revolution
at that time, and the Edwardses in a few
weeks altogether failed.
Austin's colony continued to prosper.
Austin himself, making himself a favorite of
the government, was even promoted in his
political powers. Other colonies also prospered
to some extent. After the annulment
of Edwards' contract, his territory was divided
between David G. Burnett and Joseph
Vehlein, and immigrants continued to flow
into that portion of Texas. Dewitt, although
his first settlers were temporarily driven off
by Indians, had laid out the town of Gonzatlez
in 1825, naming it after Rafael Gonzalez,
a temporary governor of the State, and during
1827-'28 he succeeded in introducing
considerable numbers of colonists. In De
Leon's grant the town of Victoria was
founded, and La Bahia del Espiritu Santo
had developed into a town of such appreciable
dimensions that in 1829 it was raised to
the rank of a villa, and the high-sounding
title of Goliad given to it. Filisola, in an
endeavor to wrench an anagram out of Hidalgo's
name, spelled the name Golhiad. On
the Brazos a flourishing settlement called
Brazoria had also sprung up.
However, the experience which the Mexican
government had with the Fredonians
(Edwards' colonists) caused them to be more
watchful of the movements of American immigrants.
Under the liberal and non-aggressive
policy of- Guerrero the colonists
were left pretty much to themselves, and he
even aided them in the abolition of slavery.
But when he was overthrown, in D/ember,
1829, and Bustamante seized the Ielm of
government, the sleeping tiger of Mexican
suspicion and belligerency arose and showed
his teeth. And at this time it required but
little foresight to see that the increasing
American element within the domain of
Texas would ere long attempt to i" slip the
leash;" for even the government of the
United States, and more especially the expressions
of many leading men within the
Union, were indicative of a general move on
our part to take a hand in the separation of
Texas from Mexico; but before the final storm
a preliminary gust made its appearance in
the form of Texan independence as a sovereign
republic. As Bancroft says:
"It was therefore natural that Mexico
should entertain fears as to the future obedience
of the Texan colonists, and it was equally
natural that the latter would not tamely submit
to the imposition of fetters similar to
those which the fathers of most of them had
helped to break. Yet in its shortsightedness
the government, under the despotic administration
of Bustamante, thought to obviate a
probable but not unavoidable contingency by
adopting the very measures which were most
calculated to provoke a spirit of antagonism."
Lucas Alaman, the minister of relations
under the new government, has the credit
(discredit) of inspiring the Mexican legislature
to make the fatal mistake of attempting
to curb the. designs of the United States by
the exercise of oppressive measures against'
the Texan colonists. On February 8, 1830,
he laid a memorial before Congress, in which
with just reason he calls attention to the
danger that Texas was exposed to of being
absorbed by the northern republic, and to
the carelessness which the government of the
State of Coahuila and Texas had shown in its
neglect to see that the colonization laws were
properly carried out. He said that the orders
providing that no more than the number of
families designated in a contract should settle

More Than 1,300 UltiPro Customers Gather To Collaborate And Learn About The Future Of Human Capital Management At Ultimate Software's Annual Conference
Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that more than 1,300 of its customers attended the company's sixth annual customer and partner forum, held March 12-15 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The conference featured opportunities for Ultimate's customers to expand their UltiPro knowledge, gain insight into HR and payroll issues, collaborate with other UltiPro users, and interact with Ultimate's leadership and industry influencers. The 2013 Connections event brought together HR, payroll, and talent management leaders across diverse companies and industries that are focused on Ultimate's end-to-end HCM solutions and services. Participants could choose from dozens of HR technology-related sessions on areas of interest, such as UltiPro best practices and UltiPro's strategic roadmap, as well as popular industry topics and trends. During the conference, Ultimate's Chief Technology Officer Adam Rogers also announced plans to expand global HCM support, introduce global payroll integration through a partnership with Celergo, enhance configurability, and extend integration capabilities through a partnership with Informatica."I am thrilled that Ultimate is so progressive and responsive, not only to its customers but also to the ever-changing context of our economic, political, and social work environment," said Christine Langley, director of organizational development & HR at Raydon Corporation. "Once again, I loved that Connections wasn't just about using UltiPro; it was about supporting my needs as an HR executive in developing strategies to drive Raydon's workforce toward meeting the company's objectives." "After attending Connections, I'm excited to return to work and carry out some of the things I've learned," said Eric Niman, director of HR administration at P.F. Chang's China Bistro. "The Connections conference is great because I have the opportunity to learn how to leverage UltiPro while earning recertification credit hours. My organization benefits as well because I can bring back a wealth of knowledge about making the most of UltiPro that I would've never been able to accumulate so rapidly in any other way."

Westchester guard Jimmer Fredette (2nd team) and center Jordan Bachynski (3rd team & all-defense) have earned all D-League honors. It will be interesting to see where Fredette, a former 1st round pick, ends up next season. He signed a 10-day deal with the Knicks in 2015-16 that was not renewed.
Carmelo Anthony is trying to take an even-keel approach to things while the Knicks search for a coach. "Until they have something that's when I'm going to have something," he said in an interview Thursday at an event to promote Gillette Clinical Clear Gel. "Honestly I try to step away from it for a minute, just clear my head, not even think about that part of it right now. I find myself being able to cope better when I do do that. instead of thinking so much about it, being emotional about it. I try to distance myself from it." It's similar to Anthony's approach in pressure situations. "Just try to stay mellow, man."

Our Insiders take a look at how tonight's Round 2 should play out if every team was drafting purely for best fit. They think New York should draft QB Christian Hackenberg, who could be slowly groomed to eventually replace Eli Manning. Round 2 best fits mock draft (Insider)
Carmelo Anthony explains why he believes he's a better scorer than Steph Curry and LeBron James: "As an athlete, as a competitor, you're not going to say no," he said on The Dan Patrick Show. "I always have that mindset. When it comes to being on that court, I don't think anybody is better. That's my mindset." Most elite athletes have a similar mindset, so it shouldn't really surprise anyone that Anthony thinks this way. This mentality also explains why some retired players think their teams can beat the 2015-16 Warriors. Which is why we really shouldn't be shocked by it.
True, New York needed a cornerback, but the one selected with the No. 10 overall pick – Eli Apple of Ohio State – falls short in terms of value, since other cornerbacks were rated higher. Mel Kiper Jr. (Insider)
When first-round pick Darron Lee (Ohio State) becomes a starter for the Jets at inside linebacker, he'll line up alongside veteran David Harris, a proud Michigan alum. Inside LBs coach Mike Caldwell pointed that out to Lee soon after he was picked. "That's all water under the bridge," Lee said with a laugh. "I didn't play when he was playing so we can put all that rivalry stuff behind us. It'll be all about helping us win games."
The Yankees are struggling early in the season and mired in last place. These are the top four reasons why.
The Jets hosted both Noah Spence and Christian Hackenberg for pre-draft visits so they've performed their due diligence. But ... buyer beware.
After picking a cornerback in the first round, the Giants might not be in a hurry to pivot to offense on the second day of the draft.
The draft's first day cleared up the picture for some veteran QBs and showed concerns over Myles Jack were real. Kevin Seifert has Round 1 takeaways.
A nice night for 2015 fourth-round pick David Thompson highlighted a late loss by the Mets' Class A affiliate Columbia Fireflies.
The Jets decided against drafting quarterback Paxton Lynch, who ended up with the Broncos. Does John Elway know something the Jets don't?
The Mets take a six-game winning streak into a weekend series against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field.

LOS ANGELES - The ninth-seeded UCLA men's tennis team booked a trip to Athens, Ga. on Saturday, as the Bruins defeated Texas Tech, 4-0 in an NCAA Second Round showdown at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. With the win, UCLA (21-3) advances to the round of 16 where it will face the winner of tomorrow's second round match between Oklahoma and eighth-seeded Oklahoma State. That round of 16 showdown is scheduled for Thursday, May 17 at 6:00 p.m. (EST) at the University of Georgia's Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Unlike its match with UNLV in the first round on Friday, UCLA had to claw out a tough doubles point, as Texas Tech (14-10) came out inspired to start the match. UCLA's No. 1 doubles team of Philipp Gruendler and Benjamin Kohlloeffel took care of business as usual, posting an 8-3 victory over 33rd-ranked Christian Rojmar/Bojan Szumanski. The Red Raiders answered back, however, as Teddy DiBlasi and Dimitrio Martinez recorded an 8-6 win over Mathieu Dehaine and Jeremy Drean at court No. 3. All attention then turned to court No. 2, where UCLA's Haythem Abid and Chris Surapol downed Tech's Michael Breler/Sinisa Markovic, 8-5 to clinch the point.
After pulling out a hard fought doubles point, the Bruins kept up their intensity in singles play, taking the first set on five of six courts. UCLA took a 2-0 lead in the match when Gruendler posted a 6-4, 6-4 decision against Markovic at court No. 3. Kohlloeffel, ranked No. 4 in the country, wasn't far behind at court No. 1, as he defeated the 37th-ranked Szumanski, 6-4, 6-1. Like he did in doubles, Surapol clinched the win for UCLA at court No. 4, defeating Breler, 6-3, 6-3.
UCLA has advanced to the round of 16 in every season since the team format was adopted in 1977 (31 years). The Bruins have also advanced to at least the quarterfinals in all 13 seasons under head coach Billy Martin.
1. (14) Gruendler/Kohlloeffel (UCLA) def. (33) Rojmar/Szumanski (TTU) - 8-3
2. Abid/Surapol (UCLA) def. Breler/Markovic (TTU) - 8-5
3. Teddy DiBlasi/Martinez (TTU) def. Dehaine/Jeremy Drean (UCLA) - 8-6

"Mount Tarawera" Lake Tarawera by kiwi
Lake Tarawera Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 5 photos
Back in 1886 Mt Tarawera erupted causing all sorts of devastation in the Rotorua area. Now it is possible to visit the crater, even jumping into it! Catch a local tour or drive yourself to the bottom of the mountain and walk up. Either way, you must have a permit to do this. Only 4WD vehicles can drive up the mountain, so catching an organised tour is usually your best option.
The whole trip is possible in one day, just a few hours if by helicopter!
Some people are happy to trek to the edge of the crater and just look into it, but by far the most fun thing to do is walk around the edge to the point where you can jump over the side and "run" down the scree sloped into the heart of the crater.
If this was solid ground you could never run down here. But it is soft, small pebbles that your feet sink into whereby it "holds" you up and allows you to remain upright. This is a very lot of fun and lots of screams! If you want to stop, you have to lie down.
It is very steep, but once you get going and have faith in what you are doing, then you just boogey on down.
It's a long way down!
Look way down the bottom of the crater and see my little daughter who took off!!!!
It can be pretty spooky looking over the edge, but this is a very popular trip for New Zealand school groups like this one.
- In a nutshell:Climb a volcano and visit the Lake, Same day.

If you do get to jump into the crater, remember to conserve energy for the long walk out! And be sure to take water with... more travel advice

My kids love the taste of this and I really think it works!
Helps prevent colds
Posted by Reviewer2508001 on Jan 26, 2011
I don't use this product everyday (as it's rather expensive). But when I sense that my 3-year old daughter may get sick, e.g. sneezes a lot or she is around other sick kids, I will give her a dose. Each time this seems to have prevented her from catching a cold, or shortened the duration/severity of her cold.

True but there are always tons of people around. But I will give it a shot.
Oh, with the right light, this would be fantastic!
I would be more than interested, except I'm halfway round the globe. But I shall keep an eye out for any photos you put up

The 10 Commandments of Landscape Photography (and how to break them)
Commandment 3: Use the Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds was first employed in painting, and it's also really useful for helping to compose photographs. It uses the fact that, generally speaking, we prefer to look at non-symmetrical images, and it helps us to work out the perfect arrangements of elements within a shot.
Using the rule of thirds is simple but effective. When you're composing an image, try to imagine that it's divided up into three equal horizontal sections and three vertical sections (see our 10 rules of photo composition – and why they work).
Many cameras have a grid view that will make this a lot easier to visualise, but you may need to shoot using live view rather than the viewfinder to see it.
As you frame the image in front of you, try to arrange key elements along one of the lines or 'thirds', and where possible, position important features where the lines intersect each other.
With a landscape this could mean arranging the composition so that one third of the image contains sky, while the lower two thirds contain the land. Other elements, such as a tree in the foreground or a distant spire, can then be positioned where a vertical and a horizontal line cross.
Learn even more about how to use the Rule of Thirds.
Break The Rules: Shoot symmetrically
Using the rule of thirds can help prevent your image from looking like a random snapshot, but there are times when the subject really cries out for symmetry, and breaking the rule can add impact.
If you decide to go for a symmetrical composition, it's essential to pay attention to every little detail so that the image is balanced and there's nothing on one side that will distract the viewer's attention.
Symmetrical images often work well when they are square because the symmetrical frame emphasises the uniformity of the image.
If your camera doesn't allow you to see different aspect ratios in live view mode, use the L-shaped pieces of card we mentioned earlier to help you compose a square shot.
Go to extremes
There are times when it pays to shift the balance of the composition to extremes so that one element of the scene dominates the image.
This could mean shooting with a tiny slither of land in the shot with a huge expanse of blue sky above for example, or conversely, with just a tiny amount of sky above the land. It can make quite a statement.
Always take a good look at the scene before you, and weigh up which are the most important elements and where the real interest lies.
If there's a winding footpath that leads to a statue on the brow of a hill for instance, the journey up the hill is of more interest than the sky above the statue, so just include a small strip of sky.

The landscape's greatest challenges: a free photography cheat sheet
Commandment 4: Find foreground interest
When we're out in the countryside or at the coast we look at the view in a very different way to the way we look at a photograph. Our eyes scan around and we home in on small details or the horizon, ignoring things in our peripheral vision – often not seeing what's immediately in front of us.
However, when we look at a photograph of the scene, the foreground becomes much more important to us, and if it's a wide, empty area of grass or beach it can create a barrier, stopping us from seeing the spectacular hills and so on in the distance.
One of the cardinal sins of landscape photography is including too much dull, featureless foreground in the image.
However, it's possible to transform a boring and uninteresting image into one that grabs the viewer's attention by including something in the foreground.
Foreground interest can improve landscape images in a number of ways – it's more than just filling an empty space. It helps to give the scene a sense of scale, and it makes the progression from the near to the middle and far elements clearer, creating a journey for the viewer's eye.
The average landscape is full of potential objects for inclusion in the foreground. Gates, signposts, flowers, shrubs and rocks can all be pressed into service – all you need to do is walk around until you find something suitable.
If there's nothing in situ, you can always try moving something such as a branch or a few autumnal leaves into the right place.
As well as adding foreground interest, things like streams, footpaths, fences and walls that extend into the landscape can help draw the viewer into the scene. They create what's often referred to as a leading line.
In addition to physical leading lines, landscape images can benefit from implied leading lines – the direction of the gaze of people in the scene, for example, will guide the viewer's eyes in a particular direction.
People walking along a footpath will also emphasise the route into the image.
Break The Rules: Use space
Sometimes it's the uniformity or emptiness of a scene that gives it impact, and rather than looking around for something to clutter up the image it may be better to put the space to positive use. The key is to identify what's important about the scene and work out how to make the best use of it.
In the example on the right, the bottom two thirds of the frame are almost empty, but this is positive rather than negative space, as it leads the eye in, and directs the viewer's attention towards the mountain on the horizon.

Painting based on Donna Jo Napoli's novel Zel.

The best part was that it gave Mother Gothel a good reason to keep Rapunzel in the tower.
I loved this book, as disturbing as it was. I wish there was more fan art of it-it's truly an amazing book and adds such depth to the original tale.
smart idea
Awesome hairstyle! And her dress came out truly wonderful, especially the sleeves! Well done!
Love her hair! Great piece!
I love the uniquely laddered hair and slashed sleeves--were they described that way in the book?
In the book, the only description for Rapunzel's dress is that it is green and yellow and embroidered with wings. I rented a costume to take pictures of, and it had sleeves like this. Thanks for noticing!
Beautiful work!
I love the whimsy of this piece, very well done.
Looks like Rapunzel is making it easier for the prince to climb the tower using her hair.
wow wonderful creation . ladder leads to where ? demon or heaven ?
I love the surreal nature of this! Nice work ^^
Nice work~!
hehe...this is nice...twisted a bit...but still lovely though!
I love this book!!!
Wow. Very interesting hairstyle. Cute idea.
I absolutely loved that book and I absolutely love the way her dress and hair came out in this.
great job and congratulations on the DD.
great job and congratulations on the DD.
*sing-song voice* "someone read the same book I did"
Love it when that happens!
especially for me, cause I read ALOT!! Have you seen tangled? at the end bit I knew what was gonna happen, cause I had read this book^^
I totally knew what this was from! Beautiful painting, you really captured Zel here.
That book was so amazing~ and so is this
I love this book and this is a wonderful representation of Zel. I love it....
this is really awesome!
Congrats! This definitely reserved the DD.
I want to do that with my hair...
I really really really need to learn how to braid my hair into a ladder!
ive never seen rapunzel portrayed this way.......clearly i must find this book!
Her hair is not actually written in the book as literally being a ladder, just something I dreamed up for the painting.
This is really cool. I like it.
Beautiful! A well-deserved dd!
wow. Love it. very original concept. i had to double take like 4 times. "What? Her hair is a ladder?!"
My hair is a ladder-- your argument is invalid.
Such a great novel... and I love the idea of braiding her hair this way. <3 beautiful work.
Oh I love Donna Jo Napoli's novels! Admittedly I was only able to get through about half of Zel before I had to return it to the library, but that painting is gorgeous nonetheless. Very well done!
Weird thing- I read this book as a kid and really liked it, and over the last week or so as an adult I've been thinking "Man, I should really reread Zel, that was a good book." Clearly, seeing this piece is a sign. And it makes me super happy in my soul. :3 That DRESS is just amazing- the slashed sleeves have such great dimension to them. Beautiful work, and congrats on the DD!
Interesting concept - the colors are great - the clothing is well done - love her hair!
awesome, love it!

David Pillatzki Jr. faces felony for Facebook video of himself shooting a gun
Trolling Facebook: Law enforcement's newest weapon in the War on Dumb Criminals.
Watch what you post on Facebook, kids -- especially if you've been previously convicted of a violent felony.
-- Clinton Corry went berserk when ex-girlfriend blocked him on Facebook, charges say
-- Michael Hamer used Facebook to solicit Twin Cities little leaguers for sex, police say
Brooten resideent David Pillatzki Jr. faces two charges, including one felony, for hosting a video of himself shooting an AR-15 type rifle on his Facebook page. That's not a crime in and of itself, but it is when you're banned from possessing firearms.
From McClatchy-Tribune Information Services:
According to the complaint on the gun charges, a CEE-VI [Drug Task Force] agent located a video clip on Pillatzki's Facebook page in December that showed Pillatzki firing a semi-automatic assault-type rifle in a rural setting.
Investigations say Pillatzki told them that he shot the rifle, an M16 or AR-15 type rifle, at a rural area near Hawick in the summertime and that someone recorded the activity and posted it on the social networking site...
Pillatzki Jr., 36, made his first court appearance Thursday on one felony count of possession of a pistol or assault weapon after conviction of a violent crime and one gross misdemeanor count of possession of a weapon after a felony conviction.
In 1996, Pillatzki Jr. was convicted of second-degree burglary, and he's been banned from possessing guns since.
If Pillatzki Jr. really couldn't help but share footage of himself shooting a rifle with family and friends, he at least should've clamped down on his profile so law enforcement officials who clearly had it out for him couldn't see it. Then again, if he's dumb enough to have the video on his profile and thereby land himself in prison, we doubt he'd have much luck navigating Facebook's labyrinthian privacy settings in the first place.

Delany on his book covers
In a bookstore with Michael Dirda
" Ishiguro repeatedly frustrates any hopes for a usual narrative trajectory, muffles noise, and hints at things which are never explicitly revealed. It is because of this that, despite the language being simple, despite every action and event being clearly described, we end up with such a thoroughly enigmatic novel – a magical mystery tour. The narrative voice is seamlessly executed, with no authorial trace – Ishiguro never hammers things home for the reader, or even taps them lightly – and this makes it immersive and engaging. The other aspect of The Buried Giant that pushed it higher in my estimation was the relationship between Axl and Beatrice. The uncertainty and imbalance of their love moves through the book from almost nauseatingly uxorious ("Still here, princess") to horribly upsetting (if I mention pixies at this point, those who have read the book will nod solemnly). Their dialogue is more often crosstalk than coherence, as they constantly disagree over memories, and they exhibit a combination of blithe reassurance and anxious caution that looks very like much familial love. As the book progressed, I started to think more and more of how their lack of memories were a kind of death, and as with Never Let Me Go, death and how we approach it and live with it looms large in this book."
Sofia Samatar, Keguro Macharia, Aaron Bady in conversation
'Increasingly, or, perhaps better, consciously, I've tried to "erase" in my work (actually from the very beginning) the demarcation between fiction and nonfiction. All literature is a form of lying, and in the hierarchy of such, I view the autobiographer as the biggest liar for claiming to remember everything as it happened, whereas memory has already done its powerful editing. Next in the hierarchy of liars is the biographer, who dares to claim that he can "know" another's life. The most honest of the hierarchy is the fiction writer, who says in effect, "This is a lie, a fiction, and I'm trying to convince you it's all true. …"'
In our current cultural climate of feminist-defining and not-feminist-enough shaming, Roxane Gay's ownership of the title is a tongue-in-cheek revolt, to powerful effect. "Bad feminist" is a way for her to claim the title of feminist while distancing herself from the essentialism that she feels has never represented her, that has at times even rejected her. As Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has said, "There's the idea of feminism as a party that's very exclusive, and some people don't get to go." The exclusivity is based on the idea that there exists "one true feminism to dominate all of womankind," as Gay puts it—a kind of independence to the point of invulnerability, a heterosexual, white, middle to upper middle class, pink-hating Feminism with a capital F.
Is the infamous white-supremacist novel The Turner Diaries a real threat, or just a shitty book for shitty people?
There's something so uncannily timely about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire that it's almost disturbing. In the UK over the past few weeks, there's been a palpable sense that the dominant reality system is juddering, that things are starting to give. There's an awakening from hedonic depressive slumber, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is not merely in tune with that, it's amplifying it. Explosion in the heart of the commodity? Yes, and fire causes more fire …

I am writing an app, in which part of it displays a line of text. there are certain scenarios where that line of text will take up more than one line. the problem is that I only want it to take up one line, and when I set it up either in java or in xml to only take up one line, the text is cut off. how would I make it so that it automatically adjusts the font size of the text so that it will only take up one line without being cut off?
Use proportions along with Paint.measureText():
(text size / measureText width) = (perfectSize / screenWidth)
Solving for the perfect text size:
You can find the screen width with
Turned it into a math problem!
This isn't too hard to do if you use Paint#measureText.
Basically you would start with a font height smaller than the height of your
It requires some implementation, as there is no "automatic" way provided by the framework.

Quantifying Compete Level: The Fanciest of Stats
Jon Steitzer
September 19 2014 11:36AM
There has been a lot of talk lately about how the Leafs have used stats in the past few years, and that they've got internal ways of measuring players success. I found this interesting, because any stat they are using would seemingly defy any logical means to assess a player's success. The other thing that can't be ignored is the fact that the Leafs management carryovers (Nonis and Carlyle) seemingly have a love affair with the term compete level. Compete level until now has had no definition, but I felt it is time to give it one, and the proper statistic support to back it up.
Leafs Roster Preview - Cody Franson
Dom Luszczyszyn
September 19 2014 08:43AM
Since his arrival from Nashville in 2011, Cody Franson hasn't had a fair shake as a Leaf. The trade was a steal (thank you, Lebda), but the 6-foot-5 defender hasn't been utilized to his full potential. The penchant for Franson to make 'the big mistake' has put him in the coach's doghouse on numerous occasions and given Leafs management some commitment issues. After signing yet another one-year deal, Franson becomes a UFA after this season. With a glut of defensemen on the roster, his days as a Leaf are probably numbered.

Leafs Roster Preview - David Clarkson
Jeff Veillette
September 18 2014 11:25AM
Let's call a spade a spade - David Clarkson has the worst contract in the history of the National Hockey League. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Remove everything before the Salary Cap (because who cares), and you won't find a deal that is so perfectly combines being too much, too long, too waiver proof, and too buyout proof. There isn't even a chance of compliance buyouts before it ends! Even Rick DiPietro had that.
But in the mean time, he's a Toronto Maple Leaf, and is expected to be on the ice this year (along with five more after that). So, what can we expect out of the 36 million dollar man?
