The Seattle Peak Performance Swim Camp takes place at the University of Washington. Our beloved swim camp at UW features two training levels for competitive swimmers ages 8-18, and offers both day and overnight packages.
Maximizing swimming potential through a holistic training approach is the mission of Peak Performance Swim Camp. To fulfill our mission, we seek to empower our swimmers through a two-tiered process of teaching and training. The teaching side includes daily chalk talks, video presentations, and ongoing poolside demonstrations. In addition, a targeted teaching strategy focused on swimmers' individual needs is employed.
We pride ourselves in offering a balance between physical, technical and mental training. Peak 1 offers a 75/25 blend of physical and technical conditioning while Peak 2 offers a 50/50 blend of physical and technical conditioning. In addition, this camp offers an in-depth mental conditioning curriculum designed to enhance a swimmer's self-esteem, develop focus skills and improve the ability to perform in stressful situations.
Nick Baker has been involved in competitive swimming since 1961. He swam competitively for 11 years (and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 200M Breaststroke), coached club swimming for 21 years, and has exclusively run swim camps for the past 18 years. He started his coaching career in Canada in 1972, and moved to the United States in 1993 to run a competitive swim camp at the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The camp's one-of-a-kind holistic approach and positive coaching style was created by Coach Nick Baker, founder and head coach of Peak Performance Swim Camp. Following is a brief list of his swimming and coaching highlights:
A number of positive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaches will be on deck to assist Coach Baker.
Open to swimmers ages 11-18 who train 5,000 yards/meters (or greater) per practice.
PEAK 1 is our most challenging camp. It is well suited for accomplished senior-level swimmers and elite-level age group swimmers. Participants must be mentally, technically, and physically prepared to endure the rigors of 4 hours of in-water training per day plus 1 hour of dry-land training per day. Approximately 75% of the total pool time is dedicated to physical conditioning; however, all sets include significant mental and technical expectations.
Rather than offer a series of generic training sets, each practice is created to reflect the group's needs and talent level. In addition, we do not condone garbage yardage or mindless meters. Each lap of practice must have purpose!
All-together PEAK 1 includes: 8 challenging in-water training sessions, 4 dry-land training sessions, 2-4 yoga sessions, and 5 mental conditioning sessions.
Note: Peak 1 is not well suited for swimmers with swimming-related injuries.
Open to swimmers ages 8-18 who train between 3,000 to 5,000 yards/meters per practice.
PEAK 2 offers a 50/50 blend of technical and physical conditioning and well suited for medium to elite-level age group swimmers who have qualified for top age group competition in their state/province. Participants must possess the maturity and discipline to handle 4 hours of in-water training per day plus 1 hour of dry-land training per day. In addition, they must exhibit a high degree of technical competency and physical fitness. Participants must be able to perform all four competitive strokes and turns and the three competitive starts (front, back, relay).
Rather than offer a series of generic training sets, each practice is created to reflect the group's needs and talent level. In addition, we do not condone garbage yardage or mindless meters. Each lap of practice must have purpose!
All-together PEAK 2 includes: 8 challenging in-water training sessions, 4 dry-land training sessions, 2-4 yoga sessions, and 5 mental conditioning sessions.
Check-in will take place at TBD, on July 25 at the UW Husky Pool at Edmunson Pavilion.

The camp concludes at 12:00 PM on July 29. A special Gold Medal Award Ceremony will be held beginning at 11:30 AM. Parents are encouraged to attend.

THE PEAK REFRESHER VIDEO: The exclusive PEAK Refresher video is a visual aid tool containing more than 60 key technical tips. Its purpose is to serve as a review for PEAK swimmers upon their return home. The swimmer-friendly video, created by 1992 Olympic Coach Nick Baker and Head Coach of Peak Performance Swim Camp, contains performance enhancing tips from PEAK 1 and PEAK 2 camps. It features the front, back, and relay starts, the four strokes and turns. The video is available online via secure access, and sent to you via email at the conclusion of the camp. The PEAK Refresher video is also recommended for PEAK clinic attendees.

Coach, thanks for the amazing opportunity to improve and make changes to my stroke. You have helped me tremendously in pointing out my mistakes but also pointing out my strengths. Thanks again to you and the PEAK coaches for all the help and confidence that you have given me.
My daughter had a wonderful experience at PEAK Summer Camp. This year's experience will go a long way in her preparing for this season. There was never a dull moment in 5 days. Not a minute wasted. And she truly enjoyed meeting and swimming with swimmers of her age group. The private session and the video analysis are invaluable and a great investment. My daughter can't wait to get back to the pool to practice what she learned. She appreciates the mental and physical conditioning that went with the camp. It was truly a holistic approach that Coach Nick and the team took to teach the kids. Thank you, Coach Nick and Staff, for your continued dedication to these kids. The techniques and approach that you use not only helps the kids in their sport, but will help them in life as well.
Our family has had two kids at camps, of varied skill levels, in multiple years. PEAK does an excellent job of tailoring the instruction to the sill level and experience of the individual swimmers. I am amazed at Coach Nick and the staff's ability to remember swimmers (and their strengths and challenges) from year to year. Recommend without equivocation!!
Thank you for coaching me and helping me with all my strokes. I had an amazing time in your camp. I just came back from Junior Olympics and I got a medal in every single race. I got a 34.59 in my 50 FL because you helped me with my technique. I also got a first place in my 50 BR and 100 BR because of you. I still wear my Swim Positive bracelet and look forward to training with you again.
Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful time at your camp. Max was so happy when he returned home and has since improved in all of his times. He recently dropped 16 seconds in his 400 IM. It was a great pleasure to watch you and your staff in action.

Troopers say a mother, distracted while arguing with a passenger, drove off a road and into a creek with her baby in the car.
23-year-old Brittany Veitch is charged with careless and reckless driving. Trooper Chris Matos says the accident happened in Onslow County just after 4:00 Wednesday afternoon.
Matos says Veitch drove off Blue Creek Road near Ben Williams Road as she was arguing with her significant other. Her 9-month-old baby boy was in a car seat and got out unharmed.
A man who lives on Blue Creek Road says he ran down to help pull the baby from the car. No one had any major injuries.

I upgraded to WordPress 2.5. Everything looks nice, but . . .
I uploaded a new image to the directory where I store them. I went to insert it in a new post, and the image won't display. All I get is that little icon with the red "X" in the middle. Images that were already in the directory continue to link fine, but anything I load there now seems to be invisible to WordPress. I am linking to images using the full URL. Hotlinking within the site is enabled.
Does anyone have an idea what's up?

I have just started the snowball method to pay of my cc. I already have 1300 in my EF. I have a few cc that I am paying down. I know Dave Ramsey says to start with the lowest balance and work my way up, but I am having conflicting feelings about what order to pay them off in. this is my original plan
1. Sears- 754- 31 a month (already started the snowball payment)
2.Best Buy- 1106- 25 a month
3. Dell- 1750- 54 a month
4. Bill me Later- 2400- 71 a month
5. USAA 1- 8500 (horrible, I know)- 208 a month
6. USAA 2- 7500 ( Terrible) - 174 a month
I was thinking about switching it so I can bring down the balance on my bigger ones. Here is my other plan
1. Sears- in progress- paying 250 plus the 31 a month
2. Best Buy- 1106- 25 a month
3. USAA 1- 208 a month
4. USAA 2- 174 a month
5. Bill me Later -2400- 71 a month
6. Dell- 1750- 54 a month
I have already used my tax return to pay off my car and another huge credit card so no tax money left over. I plan to use next years tax return to finish paying of my two largest cards because that is where I will be in my BS2 and then continue to pay off #5 and # 6 credit card. Which plan do you guys think is best? Im going back and forth.

Bixel Boys make their Dim Mak Debut with 'Vikings' Remix – Exclusive Interview
Up-and-coming kings of the underground Bixel Boys make their Dim Mak Records debut with an innovative rework of Botnek and 3LAU's collaboration "Vikings." The Los Angeles-bred duo has been making major waves on their ascension to the top, touting their flavorful style of classical 90's elements-meets-deep house vibes across the country with appearances at Electric Daisy Carnival, Splash House, SnowGlobe and HARD Summer. We caught up with Ian and Rob ahead of their Dim Mak release to chat about their history, productions and big plans for the future.

Tell me about how you two met and began collaborating as Bixel Boys.
Ian) We met through a mutual friend and with our powers combined we became CAPTAIN PLAN — I mean Bixel Boys.
You guys are a product of the Los Angeles scene and continue to act as influential tastemakers throughout the city. How has Los Angeles influenced and inspired your music?
Ian) It's an awesome collection of creatives all congregated in one place, it's a great incubator for all of us and we love all the support that we get from those around us pursuing similar endeavors
Your musical styles range greatly from deep house and ghetto-tech to hip-hop and underground. How would you categorize your sound?
Rob) I don't think that there's just one way to pin-point our sound. It's a bit of a musical exploration. We made it clear early on that we weren't necessarily going to decide on a genre before starting any song. I think this keeps our minds fresh and makes producing a little more fun.
After less than two years producing and DJing as the Bixel Boys, you've grown from spinning at house parties to performing at festivals like HARD and EDC. What do you make of your meteoric rise to fame?
Ian) "Meteoric rise to fame " is a WEEEEEEE bit of an overstatement haha we're not popping bottles with Diddy, eating caviar on yachts in San Tropez or anything. Whatever small steps towards personal success we have made have come from hard work, everything from prepping different sets to every show, late nights in the studio, and hours of designing all play a part to what we do.
Rob) We also have a great team around us which can equate to some of that overnight success, but we still have a long way to go to achieve what we're actually trying to do.
How do your sets differ when performing at smaller intimate venues versus on festival stages?
Ian) Festivals we like to make as much of a ' performance ' as we can and really take people on a musical journey, example this year at EDC we played everything from show tunes, disney theme songs, ACDC and tons of other surprises. I think more intimate settings allow us to read the crowd more and play more moody stuff to get people dancing instead of raving
You've been commissioned for official remixes of artists such as The Crystal Method, Architecture In Helsinki, Eliza Doolittle, Thomas Newson, Kayper and Kiesza. How do these remixes come together? What do you aim to bring to the table when reworking such well-known talent?
Ian) Sometimes we like a song, sometimes they approach us, its always different. We just want to be able to take the core of those songs and re-vision them thru our creative lens.
Rob) It's about making sure that the essence of the original work is still apparent while putting the song in a different world. Sometimes it's easier said than done. We go through a lot of different versions of things we remix before deciding on a direction.
Just this month you remixed Golden Features' Tell Me featuring Nicole Miller and now you've put your spin on Botnek and 3LAU's "Vikings." Do you go into the studio with an idea of where you want to take the original tune, or do you let the ideas flow organically?
Ian) For remixes we tend to let the original dictate the direction we're going to go.
Rob) For sure organically. We are blank slate producers i.e. no previous project copy/pasting. We tend to just start listening to the parts over and over again and solo'ing sections over random loops and samples until something jumps out at us.
Not only are you music makers, but you've also entered the world of fashion with your FREELIFE brand. Tell me about how this idea came together and how the unmistakable black jerseys caught fire so quickly.
Ian) We had a concept about viewing our peers and fans and ourselves as a team, and we wanted to create something that you couldn't just purchase but you had to earn, so we designed the jersey ourselves and began to give it to people we respected, people really liked the design, the message, the fit and it took on a life of it's own from there.
I've heard you're launching a charitable arm of the FREELIFE brand soon, can you tell us a bit about that?
Ian) All of the pieces are still coming together but we can confirm that we'll be linking up the Freelife brand with a charity very soon to start to give back, which is something thats always been very important to us.
What's next for Bixel Boys?
Ian) more original tunes, gear, and ideas for everybody.

#FreeFriday Episode No. 096: Clockwork – Champion (Michael Wayne Remix)
It's Friday and here's a new remix for you to love!
"As I was remixing Clockwork's Champion track, I wanted to go outside the norm of a tradition dance track by incorporating some non-conventional sounds, that's why I turned to a Kontact orchestra library to add some organic instruments to the track. Clockwork mentioned he wanted people to get as original as possible while calling on all genres and all producers. I also kept in mind Dim Mak's taste in dance music at the same time. Bridging those two gaps is what created my remix. While the original track had no vocals, I had to use the lead synth as my remixing source; I chopped up this lead into a new riff that added excitement to the remix while keeping the core idea of the track at hand. I also added violins, cinematic drum smashes, trap snares, Melbourne bounce bassline with an overall big room house feel to the track to keep things original, fun and fresh!"
– Michael Wayne

[Beatport News] Botnek's '#SELFIE' slam soars to #1
Congratulations go out to Botnek, as his remix of The Chainsmokers "#SELFIE" takes over the #1 position in our Beatport Top 100.
Less of a remix and more of a rip on the trending track that even made it's way to American Idol, Botnek's remix is playful in its reproach. Bless the New York-based Chainsmokers (aka Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall) for having the sense of humor to approve this track, as it's climbed the top 100 to take over #1 in just over a week.

#FreeFriday Episode No. 090: Fefe Dobson – Legacy (Klever Remix Feat. Yelawolf)
Today's #FreeFriday is a tune with a story… Fefe Dobson created "Legacy" and showed it to Klever and Yelawolf in a cab in New York. Klever asked if he could get the stems, and he set out to create a remix that would resonate within today¹s current state of music. He particularly felt pressure to create something amazing for his friend¹s girlfriend, inspiring him to put in extra effort. After a week or so, Klever presented the finished product to both Fefe and Yelawolf, who both fell in love with it. Then in Toronto, before a show, Yelawolf surprised Klever with his two verses.
Yelawolf goes in on this track, and completes a tune that will definitely amp you up to fuck somebody up.
For this #FreeFriday at Dim Mak, our buds Klever, Yelawolf, and Fefe honor us with this free download, a product of love (Fefe Dobson and Yelawolf are engaged).
Download the tune and find something to break.

Sketch Dump Goodbyes
Today's my last day here....
UNTIL I GO TO ART CAMP. Then I'll prance on back here~! :D I'ma be there until Tuesday drawin' for 6 hours a day~! Eeee~! So excited~! X3 I also get to see some 'o meh buddies again which is also quite fun! And for the first time in my life I am drawing nude figures from life! *3* IN PERSON! Holy crap am I exciteeddddd....Gonna try paintin' 'em with oils. I am bringing a lot of canvases/boards with me, and also markers, pencils, giant sketch books, charcoal, and coloured pencil sticks....so I dunno what medium I'll do them in...but on 'o them....
I also have a sketchdump to dump on joo gaiz~! :D MORE DOODLEHSSS
Trying to figure out how to draw Seiichi. I think I might learn better if I just drew the comic already....>3>
I drew some more Seiichi and then I decided to draw Tadao. And I drew the top right pic of Tadao, thought he looked like Isidro, so then I drew Isidro. And then I drew Griffith just for hell of it and then drew him in my style~! X3
Tadao without his jacket and Seiichi. I don't like how Tadao looks here...I mean, le anatomy is correct, but his face looks weird. I also drewww.....
MOAR GABE~! I wonder if I got him right thisss tiiiimmmeeee??? He still doesn't look like Gabe, but he doesn't look scary this time. Then I drew Alex from Street Fighter...'cause why not? And Guts from Berserk.
The guy with the split hair is a medieval dark fantasy OC. He's a pirate who has been searching for his family for his entire life after being split from them when he was a child. He used to be a noble, but his kingdom was conquered and his family was broken.
The girl is somebody with a similar fate. She was born to war slaves and saw terrible and gruesome things, but because she grew up with this she slowly began to think of terrible death and pain to be something normal and fine. She is extremely lucky and somehow escaped one day. To make money she steals and charms/seduces people into giving her more money. She isn't afraid of anything, including murdering another person.
More of my two new OCS in the top left corner. Then I just drew from meh Berserk mangoes! XD The scratched out pic was an attempt to exemplify foreshortening....drawing moar Isidro...but it didn't turn out right.
I didn't like the girl OCs hairstyle (I think I named her Felicity or somethinggg???) so I tried something different. I also trying redrawing Ana because I re-wrote the next chap so it works better with the story...I dunno if I will do it though...
I wanted to practice drawing anatomy instead of faces all the time...so I tried drawing nude Griffith...didn't work out...so there are a lot of nude Griffith's on this page. Then what is Griffith without Guts? So I drew some Guts, too. 18-year-old Guts to be more specific. Also there's some Sanada Yukimura in there....'cause why not?
Also Griffith sex scene...but I felt too embarrassed to draw Princess Charlotte...;orz 'tis what the scratches are at the bottom! XD
I dunno why the pages I like I keep taking blurry pics offf....;3; I liked the pic I did of Griffith and Guts. I keep drawing those twoo...>3> I can't stop...they be easy to draw...sortakinda. Guts is hella hard.
I drew some Yukiko with skirt blowing...dunno why...in a skirt blowing mood...
Some more Isidro, some Serpico, and PUCK! 'cause why not?
Also Ephraim's in the top right corner. I tried drawing him in a slight Kentaro Miura style...XD Oh yeah, I tried drawing a little Eirika...but only half her face...XD
Okiedoke! I gotta go to bed so I can wake up early for ART CAAAAAMMMMMPPPPPP!! So excited~
If I made a tutorial, what would you want it to be about?
I was thinking of doing a super tutorial...but that takes waaaayyy too much work. Maybe let's start tiny and see what you guys would rather like to see.
I can't do photoshop or SAI tutorials, sorry...;m; I don't have those programs on my computer, despite having pretty good knowledge about both programs, I would have no way of demonstrating it.
Anything you might have questions about ask and I will try my best to provide answers in a tutorial format~! :D
And don't be shy about asking for help. I will be more than happy to help, more than ecstatic...PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU!
Manga Artist Progression
I found this video series of mangaka art progression. I think it's fascinating because you can see how the greats became the iconic greats that we remember. Looking back on how they were when they started out. It's amazing~!
Commen Spree: This Friday~
moonlitdream's has created a wonderful way of livening up the community on theO with a comment spree~!
This is a day to comment all over the place!
Comment on everything in your backroom.
Comment on as many fanart pics as you can!
Comment on as many wallpapers as you can!
Comment on as many fancomics as you can!
Comment on as many e-cards as you can!
Of course, all of this can tire you out mentally (I've been there, there was a time period in my life I thought it was a good idea to comment on as many things as possible, but then I realized my brain couldn't handle it).
Here are some things to help you comment:
Look at the lines. How do they look to you?
Look at the characters. How are the portrayed?
Look at the coloring. How well did they use colors?
Look at the shading. How effective is the shading?
React to the picture if it's funny, sad, etc. It's most helpful to read the artist's comments. You can even comment on the things they said in their own comments.
Look at the effects. How nicely done are the effects?
What sort of mood does it give?
How/When would you use this as a wallpaper?
Would you set this as your wallpaper? How would it change the looks to your desktop?
Is it funny? Is it sad?
How is the story told?
How do you feel about the subject?
How would you use this?
What sorts of feelings does this it give off?
How well are the effects used for the mood.
Do you like the quote or text?
I hope those will at least get some ideas flowing so that when you start commenting on something.
Here's moonlitdream's post for more information.
Scratch Dampe and Mangos
Sketch Dump and Manga~! :D
I will only do sketch dumps of pictures and sketches poorly taken with my camera~! ;D
I have been reading Berserk....obsessively...
My brother gave me all his berserk scans from his computer and they are from vol 1 to vol 33. He also gave me all of his physical Berserk mangas~!
Lookit meh mango collection nowww~! 2 shelvvveeessss
I think I would've read Berserk more, but reading manga on the internet slows me internet and my internet has been in and out recently (I feel like blaming the heat). The times when my internet is out or I have nothing to do I read Berserk. That moved in with my usual pleasure time so now I read Berserk all the time. It is just sooooooo so good. The art is AMAZING!!!
And because of that my art style might have changed a taddddd
Trying to draw Gabe and Stefan again. Stefan, I feel like I have down, but Gabe....Gabe Gabe Gabe....I just can't draw you. Or it's just that moonlitdream draws him so adorably and whenever I draw him he looks like a creep....>3>
You can also draw my failed attempts at trying to draw one my characters looking creepy. I mean, yeah he looks creepy, but not in the way I was going for...>3> The bottom right one was going well and then I tried to fix his chin and for some reason I drew the line way too close to his mouth...;3;
I was practising lineart and where to place tones. I drew some pics from DOGs and Death Note. The both have my favourite style of lineart. Also the top part is from the beginning of this summer-ish when I was trying to redesign Rin Hatoshi.
The bottom corner of that page~! It was in bright light so you couldn't see that part of it.
I really like how these turned out~! Yukiko and Tadao~! :D Drawn while watching the Man Bear Pig episode of South Park...yes...I remember it like it was yesterday...because it WAS yesterday! Gosh, memory, you doin' well.
This is quite old. Not really, but it feels old. I was trying to work on facial structure, when I ended up drawing one of the characters for a story I've been working on for about a thousand years now. And also came up with a new character! I like him, very unlike any other character I have designed. I think I want to make him a introspective executioner.
This was also yesterday while watching the Man Bear Pig episode. Trying to work on expressions...not working....help meeee...;m; I need to try more and more until I feel satisfied.
I got inspired by Berserk to create a medieval fantasy character. Actually I think he's just a redesign of an old Fire Emblem OC. He is a shaman~! His name is Emil or Emilian I can't decide. He is usually very reserved, but when upset he can be very dangerous. I am not sure if I will make his scars self inflicted or not....I kinda want to, but meh.
Welp that is it~!

Police recover stolen itemsDecember 11,2012MONTPELIER Vermont State Police say a search of a stolen car being used by a fugitive helped recover items stolen in Vermont and New Hampshire in recent months.
Police say 28-year-old Michael Hoehl repainted a stolen car four or five times so police wouldnt recognize the vehicle, allegedly stolen from Rivendell High School in Orford, N.H., in October.
He was arrested Tuesday after police spotted the vehicle in Newbury. Troopers allegedly chased Hoehl into the woods and he displayed a handgun, but he was apprehended without injury.
The Burlington Free Press reported that when police searched the vehicle they found, among other items, GPS units, a radar detector, assorted professional sports collector cards, tools, a pocket watch, foreign currency, an antique chalice and a model of a 1955-era vehicle.MORE IN This Just InLike the rest of you, Ive spent the past week immersed in the local conversation about welcoming...

"Hogan. Jack Hogan."
The cocky ex-Secret Service agent is determined to point out the security risks in this eccentric little beach town. Mayor Claire Betancourt's town.
Claire is just as determined to protect Heron Point and its free-spirited citizens-however quirky they may be-from his interference. No way are Jack's take-charge attitude and dangerous good looks going to sway her.
But Claire gets a shocking reality check when her nine-year-old daughter is kidnapped and Jack is the only one who can save her. And he's surprised to discover that what started out as just a job has suddenly become very personal.
Cynthia likes to say she inherited her love of writing from her ancestors. Her grandmother, a farmer's wife with an eighth-grade education, published anecdotes in the Reader's Digest, and once wrote a poem using only fruits and vegetables for images. "A woman cantaloupe with a man who would turnip his nose at her family." Cynthia's father never tired of finding new ways to use words and turn a phrase.
Inspired to continue the legacy, Cynthia studied English and journalism in college, and after a career as a high school English teacher, she began writing novels. She discovered ideas for stories in her search through antique stores and flea markets and as an auctioneer and estate buyer. Cynthia says every castoff item from someone's life can ignite the idea for a plot.
She writes about small towns, big hearts, and happy endings that are earned and not taken for granted. She loves the mountains though lives in Florida. And as far as the legacy is concerned, just ask her son, the magazine journalist, if he believes.

"Washington, DC" Top 5 Page for this destination Washington by jetsetterforever
Washington Travel Guide: 89 reviews and 244 photos
Washington is a temporary home for me, as it is for most residents here who are looking to pick up a year or two of work experience in between school.
Washington is really an up and coming city and under the leadership of the new mayor, the city has gone through a period of all-around rejuvenation marked by falling crime rates, an emerging nightlife, as well as the acquisition of a new baseball team.
DC is divided into four areas: Northwest (NW), Northeast (NE), Southwest (SW), Southeast (SE). In my opinion of these four areas NW is indeed the nexus of life. Within NW there are dynamic neighborhoods such as Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Georgetown which have a decent variety of bars, clubs, restaurants, and general hangouts.
- Pros:Everything is accessible, great attractions
- Cons:Although things have improved, still lacking in diversity
- In a nutshell:DC is slowly, but surely, finding a pulse.

Believing that it takes one to know one, the FBI sends agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a prisoner who may provide clues to the killer's actions. The prisoner is Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins), a brilliant, demented cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she'll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. But as their relationship develops, Starling is forced to confront not only her hidden demons...but also an evil so powerful that she may not have the courage - or strength - to stop it!

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
Gregg Carlstrom | 24 Mar 2012 06:15 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Bahrain, United States
Manama, Bahrain - Peaceful protests erupted into violence between police and demonstrators in several areas, exposing the divide between Bahrain's formal political opposition and ranks of frustrated youth activists.
Thousands of people marched in 10 rallies on Friday organised by Al Wefaq, Bahrain's largest opposition political organisation in Bahrain.
The rallies were a show of defiance coming days after a government commission praised the king's progress in implementing reforms since widespread protest began last year.
The marches were soon overshadowed by clashes that erupted in Sanabis and Sitra, two predominantly Shia villages.
The streets of Sitra were littered with broken glass and the chunks of cement that protesters used as makeshift roadblocks. Tear gas and thick black smoke from burning rubbish bins lingered in the air.
Clashes also broke out in Jidhafs, where mourners buried a woman who human rights groups said was killed by tear gas last night.
Police used water cannons and armoured vehicles to break up hundreds of protesters as they approached a checkpoint near Pearl Roundabout in Manama, the focal point of protests last year.
Several hundred riot police with batons and shields fired tear gas into the neighbourhood as youths taunted them from a distance. At times, the protesters grabbed tear gas canisters and hurled them back.
"Come and fight hand to hand, you cowards, you animals!" one teenager shouted before throwing a rock at police.
The largest of the Wefaq rallies, on a highway just west of the capital, drew some 5,000 marchers. The party has always been cautious in its criticism of the ruling monarchy, and that restraint was on display during the rally.
Organisers passed out signs with slogans such as "No to sectarianism".
Live Box 2011121613259449703
A Wefaq official, perched atop a truck outfitted with loudspeakers, led the crowd in chants criticising the prime minister and condemning the routine violence in Bahrain's villages.
The activist was frequently drowned out by chants of yasqat Hamad (Down with Hamad), a reference to King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
A group of marchers from the February 14 Movement, a loose coalition of youth activists, held a sign demanding "Trials for the killers and torturers".
Bahrain's justice ministry has said that more than 50 officers are being investigated for abuses committed last year. So far, however, only a handful of officers have been put on trial and no high-level officials have been targeted.
Jabbar al-Qattan, carrying a photo of his 16-year-old son Ahmed who was shot and killed by police in October, in the village of Abu Saiba, said nobody has been prosecuted over the incident. He accused police of doctoring the official report to hide their involvement.
"The police changed the report to say the shotgun wasn't one of theirs," al-Qattan said. "But how is that possible? How is it there is a shotgun in Bahrain they don't know about?"
The issue of accountability is one reason why the opposition dismisses the findings of the National Commission, which presented its report to the king on Tuesday.
The commission was a follow-up to an earlier panel, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), which documented widespread abuses during last year's unrest and recommended more than two dozen reforms.
Rights groups say at least three people have been killed by tear gas during the last week, including the woman buried in Jidhafs on Friday.
The police have significantly increased their use of tear gas over the last few months. The change in tactics was acknowledged by John Timoney, the former Miami police chief hired as a consultant in Bahrain after the BICI report. Timoney attributed the change to what he called the growing use of petrol bombs by protesters."I count in some situations now dozens upon dozens being thrown… [We] want to create distance between [the police] and the people throwing the Molotovs," he said earlier this week.
Timoney was the subject of particular scorn from protesters, several of whom referred to him dismissively as "that American".
There is a growing frustration here with the US, which has been reluctant to condemn abuses committed by the Bahraini government.
"How many people have to die from this tear gas from the United States?" Saeed said. "You don't have to support us. But just stay away, stay neutral, and let us have our rights."
Washington has pushed the Bahraini government to open another round of talks with Wefaq, according to a senior Western diplomat in Manama.
Negotiations have been stalled since last summer, when Wefaq backed out of a much-heralded "national dialogue" which many opposition leaders now dismiss as not serious.
Protesters at Friday's rally said they were open to another round of dialogue. "Force will not solve this problem," one man said.
Dozens of protesters held posters calling for the release of Ibrahim Sharif, the leader of the secular leftist Wa'ad party, convicted last year in a military court and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Many opposition activists say Sharif must be released to represent the opposition in any dialogue.
"He scares the government because he is Sunni, because he proves this is not sectarian," said Ali, an investment banker at the protest who declined to give a second name.

Shin Bet apparently tracked the package after wondering at an enormous quantity of salt ordered by a Gaza importer with Hamas ties.18:10 03.05.16 | 0 comments
'The Stages' argument. I already heard this many times and of course it can easily apply to any revolutionary or liberation movement or any resistance movement at any time or place. A kind of circular logic which automatically justifies rejection of any compromise. The Charter would not conceivably change without any agreement with Israel. It is old, but it is not meant to be holy so there is no reason why it could not change if an agreement were ever to be ratified. This has been stated by Meshal for one. Ratification of any agreement could easily hinge on such a revision of the charter and is therefore not a serious impediment to opening indirect negotiations, merely a fig leaf of an excuse, like the *stages argument*. The recognise Israel as a 'Jewish State' mishigas is just that. A deliberate spoiler. Why would Hamas offer recognition when Israel has never recognised the right of Palestinians to a State in Gaza and WB? It has only inferred it, as has Hamas. What's good for the goose... A desperate PLO did recognise Israel's right to statehood and boy has it been rewarded! Hamas already noted the reward, some lucrative bribes for PA officials and their families.

A different time
Vermont used to be a tolerant, live-and-let-live place. That was then; this is now.
Now if your opinions, positions and policies are not correct, you cant make a speech or sell bottled water.
The letters to the editor page is an appropriate place for radicals to vent their spleen. Jay Moore did exactly that in the June 24 edition. Moores vicious anti-Rice/Bush screed says he may surpass his hero Noam Chomsky in anti-American radicalism.
The scary part is that he was ever allowed to teach his version of history to the innocent youth for which he professes concern.
Another scary thing is that anyone presumably so intelligent and educated was so easily brainwashed into this level of hate.

MASON, Ohio (AP) -- Unseeded American John Isner rallied from losing a first-set tiebreaker to upset seventh-seeded Juan Martin del Potro 6-7 (4), 7-6 (9), 6-3 in a grueling Western & Southern Open semifinal Saturday.
The 22nd-ranked Isner, in his first appearance in the tournament's semifinals, had been 0-4 against the Argentine. He'll play either third-seeded Rafael Nadal or sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych in the final.
The 6-foot-10 Isner needed 2 hours, 47 minutes to improve to 16-3 since retiring from Wimbledon in the second round with a left knee injury. He clinched the win when del Potro sent a backhand from the baseline into the net.

What a beautiful simplistic colour and texture scene! This is so polished.
Congrats on the DD - loved the movie and I love your artwork
I've seen this movie, I thought it was cute. This is such a cool piece, no wonder it got chosen as a DD!
Hmm, it looks like she's wearing the One Ring around her neck. Careful with that, don't turn into Gollum....
Congratulations on having your piece featured as one of today's Daily Deviations!
Yay!!!!!! Congratulations with DD!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you, because I love your works. They are simple, clear and whimsical.
- Congrats on the DD! Have a nice day!
Really a well done papercut, and the character likeness is very good! I really like the style <3

I only know this quote from "Not another teen movie" ... but I still got it nonetheless! The fine details in how you cut everything out is amazing! I don't know much about this style but it's so refreshing to see in the DD slide down the bottom! Congrats!
love it!
This is so amazing and very interesting artwork! Great composition and style!

The Department of Justice seems to have a vendetta for this "new public company". The DOJ has had this CEO in its sights for nearly a decade. While an earnings restatement was probably the correct approach, the SEC and DOJ actions caused 1,300 people to loose their jobs and practically forced the business to close nearly a decade ago.
It seems the DOJ fumbled and the taxpayers will pay for their efforts.
