What would happen if a fraternity moved in next door? This is the premise of the upcoming comedy film "Neighbors," starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. A married couple are enjoying life with their new baby, and decide to move into a new neighborhood in the suburbs. However, they soon discover that their new neighbors are in fact a bunch of loud fraternity brothers. The film is scheduled for release on May 9, 2014.
Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) are a regular couple enjoying being new parents until a fraternity moves in next door, led by Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron), and the two groups agree to peacefully coexist. However, the fraternity throws loud parties and causes tons of havoc so the pair eventually breaks down and calls the police. The fraternity knows it was them, and decides to exact their revenge.
The two and a half minute trailer is filled with partying, loud music, and hilarious pranks. From car airbags to exercise balls to Robert de Niro parties, the amount of comedy is nonstop, and the fraternity, Delta Psi, clearly has the upper hand with over fifty members against the Radner's three. The Radner's try the if you can't beat them join them philosophy, but the results might alter their future forever.
Directed by Nicholas Stoller, the film will be released this summer. The film also features Dave Franco as Pete, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Lisa Kudrow and Jake Johnson. Who will you side with? The family or the frat? Check out the trailer on iTunes Movie Trailers or the official website for more information.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forum, although I've been browsing around for a while. I'm a police officer in Charlotte, NC, and a defensive tactics instructor for my agency. I've been training in martial arts of some sort for approximately 17 years....began training BJJ formally about 3years ago, and that is primarily what I train in now. Looks like a great forum, and I hope to be able to contribute to it in the future.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville has been coming out with some serious allegations over the past couple of weeks. A more recent one involved her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian. She claimed that he had been asking for child support for their two sons, even though Eddie is working. He is also married to LeAnn Rimes, who is worth a reported $20 million. So, what is the deal here? According to a new Us Weekly report published on Feb. 19, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville is now being accused of sharing the child support story as a way to get more attention for her new book, "Drinking and Dating."
After the story went online, Eddie's rep wanted to put the story to rest. "There is no truth to the claims that Eddie has requested child support from Brandi now, nor will he ever request child support from his ex-wife," Cibrian's rep has revealed. "The notion is preposterous. This is yet another ploy for self-promotion." Of course, the story comes just days after her new book, "Drinking and Dating" was released. Perhaps she is trying to get it to be on the bestsellers list again.
Of course, the story began after Brandi used Twitter to complain about her ex-husband, something she rarely does. "2 all these young unmarried bloggers writing about getting over divorce & not seeing ur children grow up 1/2 the time, walk a mile in my shoes," the Drinking & Dating author tweeted. "I'm not taking cheap shots at my ex in my new book cuz it's all true & now mr fancy new cars & house man is asking ME for child support! U know nada." She added: "Everytime I take 1 step frwd [sic] I get a lawyers letter that takes me 3 steps back so when people say move on, I say 2 my ex LET ME! Just STOP. Going to stay positive and focus on my new book & let my lawyer handle the rest."
Do you think he asked her for help?

Up until now, however, gamers have pretty much been limited to tilt and multi-touch based gaming on the iPhone � but that�s about to change. A leaked slide from Belkin shows an upcoming gaming accessory for the iPhone, the JoyPad, which snaps onto the device from the two ends to provide a more traditional control scheme with actual buttons. What�s even more exciting is that coming from major accessory manufacturer it actually sounds possible that Apple will be providing support for the add-on in the system's SDK.
With Apple planning on selling over 10 million iPhones this year, developers far and wide certainly can�t afford to overlook it as a gaming platform. Then again, we still have to wait and see if the iPhone�s battery performance is strong enough to support the kind of �serious� gaming that this controller add-on suggests � that�s where the bottleneck is.

Macnab' Hunting and Fishing challenge ...
Where does the Macnab originate
The Macnab originates from a Scottish poacher/challenger, John Macnab who delivered a challenge note to three Scottish Landowners, declaring that him and two of his cronies where to poach as a challenge 2 deer (one for each hunter) and a salmon for the third fellow on their land without being caught. The Landlords hired guards 24 hours a day and rated Macnabs success as one in a hundred. Well, the rest is history and McNabs went on to become a legend.
The modern day Macnab challenge has evolved to become a lot less about not getting caught and more about capturing your prized animal before the sun sets. The challenge is for each hunter to catch a fish on a fly, shoot a bird on the wing and hunt an antelope – all between sunrise and sunset on the same day. The successful hunters will get a bona fide certificate to prove to their friends and family it REALLY did happen!

H-1B Workers Must Know Their Rights
The H-1B visa is limited to skilled workers who help fill a void in the American labor force for which there has been determined to be a shortage of available workers. Employers who sponsor alien employees for H-1B visas must not only establish that the alien employees possess the necessary level of education and credentials required to performed a particular skilled occupation, they must also agree to pay their H-1B employees the prevailing wage rate for that particular skilled occupation in the area where the employer intends to employ the H-1B worker. The employer is required to complete a Labor Condition Application ("LCA") that is filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. The LCA identifies the name of the proposed employee, the skilled occupation to be performed by the employee, as well as the location where the employee will be working and the prevailing wage rate for the proposed job the employee will fill. As an H-1B employee, you have the right to obtain a copy of the LCA your employer filed on your behalf as part of the visa approval process.
The wage you are paid by your H-1B employer should reflect the same wage the employer is paying to its other employees with similar qualifications and experience. You are also entitled to receive the same fringe benefits that your employer offers to its other employees. More importantly, your employer is not permitted to reduce your pay due to lack of work or otherwise refuse to compensate you for your unproductive time. If the employer is no longer able to employ you at the wage provided on your LCA as a full-time employee, then the employer should cancel your H-1B visa and pay for your return trip back to your native country, or provide you the opportunity to transfer to another employer willing to sponsor you as an H-1B employee.
When accepting employment with an H-1B employer, be very careful about signing any written contracts that provide a liquidated damages clause or other liabilities that you are obligated to pay your employer in the event you terminate your employment before the expiration date of your work authorization. Your employer is not allowed to charge you for the filing fees, administrative fees, attorney's fees or other fees associated with the filing of your petition. The employer is also not permitted to impose a penalty on you for ending your employment prior to an agreed upon date. The employer must afford you the same working conditions (e.g., hours, shifts and vacation) as it does its other employees. An employer is not permitted to threaten, intimidate or threaten you with termination when you invoke your rights.
Your H-1B employer is required to begin paying you the prevailing wage rate as soon as you enter the country on your H-1B visa and "enter into employment," which occurs as soon as the employee first makes him/herself available for work or comes under the control of the employee. For example, if you are required to undergo orientation or training before you begin performing work tasks, the employer is required to begin paying you. If you are required to study for a licensing exam before you can begin work, your employer is still required to pay you. Under no circumstances should the employer fail to begin paying you later than 30 days after you enter the United States on an approved H-1B visa or within 60 days of the date listed on your approval notice that you are eligible to begin work, whichever is earlier.
Employers may relocate you to a new location or job site after you enter into employment. Federal regulations, however, require your employer to complete a new LCA for your change in employment status to ensure that your pay is at least the prevailing wage rate. You have a right to obtain a copy of the updated LCA your employer has filed with the U.S. Department of Labor.
It is important that you understand your rights. If you believe your employer is violating your rights, there are remedies you can pursue through the filing of formal complaints with the U.S. Department of Labor. You may also have separate claims against your employer for unpaid wages under an applicable federal or state law. You are highly encouraged to contact an attorney to learn more about your rights.

Growing Up Atheist
In Honduras
From: "Ivan" (Honduras)
To: "Positive Atheism" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Subject: PA-via_Positive_Atheism_ Seeking Your Advice
Date: Wednesday, October 04, 2000 12:29 AM
Greetings. I am a 17 year old Atheist who seeks your wise advice from "Positive Atheism" regarding (of all subjects) a delicate family matter. I am sure you receive large quantities of e-mail and I appreciate your time.
Such is that I will first present you with the situation itself. Please take this matter seriously for it is very meaningful to me and is important I find resolution
I live in a very religious society. The 1997 Almanac statistic for religion in Honduras (where I live) is Roman Catholic at a whopping 97 percent. So being an atheist here is hard. Right now the only problems I am having is with my parents, they force mandatory church attendance and seen to refuse to accept the fact that I am atheist. I have tried talking with them which resulted in lout shouting, negative remarks, and , yes, they even banged the table once. I tried protesting in church by not moving or saying anything. That made matters worse and got a serious reprimand from my parents (father especially). So far the only resolution achieved (against my will) is as follows: mandatory church assistance continues but I utter nothing but am forced to stand and kneel, nothing more. Then as long as I live in his house (my dad) then I must obey him regardless of my beliefs. I have even tried counseling but with mixed results.
Thus is my situation. But my real question is this: every time I bring up the subject that I don't believe in god or I am an atheist they reply and I quote "well you just do not appreciate all the gifts and welfare god has given you while there are other children who are not as fortunate as you" end of argument. They claim I don't "appreciate the things god has given me", so my reply is "yes I appreciate my parents for their effort and hard work" but that brought discussion on how god helped them and how it was god's will for them to be successful. Then the discussion abruptly ends.
I am at the end of my wits, finding a way to battle this argument which has plagued my every attempt to proclaim atheism and for my belief to be respected by my parents. I am basically at a dead end until I find a powerful way to contradict this in some way or another.
Please reply promptly if possible. I am happy to answer any inquires about this matter which might aid you if any discrepancies should appear. I need an answer because I reached dead end discussions because of this argument, and it seems that all my arguments are ending that way.
Thank you for your time and effort
Reply promptly and wisely

I have known many parents to require church attendance of both child and adult offspring who live in their homes. Occasionally, what the parent is trying to say is, "Find a way to support yourself" and at times the parent sincerely believes that the religion will do the kid some good. I have even seen one situation where the parent was simply displaying power, but the parent still had a point in that the parent owned the house and paid all the bills, and the offspring could make an effort to be self-supporting.
The best I can give you is that we all make choices once we are adults. I don't know at what age a minor can be emancipated in Honduras, but here you can be on your own in some states at age 16. Usually, though, when a child lives in the house, the child is expected to do what the parent says, unless the parent requires that the child break the law, and then the parent becomes a lawbreaker and the child could end up in a foster home.
If remaining in your parents home has advantages that outweigh having to participate in meaningless rituals (at most, perhaps, a degrading experience), then you do well to play the game. This might include if you are to study at the University, etc., versus leaving to join the work force or the military when you turn 18. Many would gladly pantomime some empty rituals if it meant getting an education, and others wouldn't be untrue to their convictions even at the risk of life and limb. In Oregon where it gets very cold, hundreds of grown men spend an hour singing religious songs and listening to religions sermons just to be able to eat and perhaps sleep at the Rescue Mission. Sure it's degrading, but it all depends on what you want and what you value.
Our forum called "Moving Beyond Just A Polite Response?" involves a young woman who was risking being allowed to see her friend. Some might call this a small risk when compared to risking losing the opportunity to get a college education, but others might call jeopardizing a friendship a high price to pay for dignity. She chose to pursue dignity, and I would not have faulted her if she had made either choice.
Meanwhile, have you pointed out that for you to participate in this ritual is for you to lie? that by forcing you to take the sacraments, etc., they are requiring you to lie to the priest and to the congregation? Does honesty and truthfulness mean anything to them? I realize that some people take their religion much more seriously than most people do, and this colors their perspective when dealing with religious matters.
But, if you can make any headway with the honesty angle, you would do well to keep a spotless behavior record in all other respects. This would mean following all the other rules such as curfews and chores and all things that families expect of the various individual members of the household.
But then, perhaps you are like me and do best to live alone. I live alone and have for twelve years straight, and have lived alone on several occasions before that. Only once did I live with someone else and have a good time at it. To live alone is very costly, but sometimes you really have to pay for what you want or need. Again, almost everything is a choice, and we make choices based upon what we want versus what we can afford to pay. Many of us must live with others because of economic factors or because we have commitments to a family situation. If we live with others, we cannot do whatever we want, but must always take the other family members' quirks into consideration.

Orpheus vs. Orpheus
THE HYMNS OF ORPHEUS vs THE ORPHIC HYMNS
by Orpheus by Orpheus
Translated by Thomas Taylor Translated by A. Athanassakis
306 pp. Philosophical Research Society 146 pp. Society of Biblical Literature
The beauty of the Orphic Hymns lies primarily in the mystery of their provenance. Legendary poet Orpheus, companion of Jason, descender into Hades, and father of ancient Greek theology, certainly had a busy and well-documented life of adventure. Due to the variety of legends and stories involving Orpheus, it is impossible to offer a sequentially arranged and definitive synopsis of his life. According to the different traditions, his father was either a quasi-legendary Thracian king named Oeagrus, or the god Apollo. Regardless, at some point in his early youth, Apollo became fond of him and gave him a golden lyre, which he taught him to play. Orpheus' mother, who was either the Muse Calliope or a mortal woman descended from a Muse, instructed him on the writing of verse. The key aspect of the Orpheus myth resides there, in his felicity with song and poetry. According to Aeschylus, Orpheus' talent was such that the very rocks and trees responded to his compositions. He was a member of Jason's crew on the Argonaut, and saved his companions from the Sirens by outsinging those legendary temptresses. He later descended into Hades to reclaim his deceased wife, Eurydice, and his songs were such to move the pity of Death himself. Eurydice was granted life, on the condition that Orpheus could lead her out of the underworld without looking back. He failed, and she remained in the clutches of Hades. He was so distraught by this that he renounced the love of women, and is sometimes credited with the invention of Greek homosexuality. The most famous account of his death is at the hands of a group of enraged, female followers of Dionysus, who resented his love of male youths and his rejection of their god. The Dionysian priestesses ripped him to shreds in a drunken fury, but could not prevent his severed head from singing. His golden lyre was reclaimed by Apollo and installed in the heavens, where it can be viewed to this day as an arrangement of stars.
There is no definitive statement within any of the ancient sources of the Orpheus myth to explain when and for what reasons he sat down to compose his hymns, which are the only extant complete body of his writing. In addition to the hymns, there have come down to us a fragmented Theogony, known as the Rhapsodic Theogony, and pieces of an Argonautica told from Orpheus' perspective, which are also attributed to Orpheus himself. The complete hymns were known and read at least as early as 500 CE, when they were mentioned in a Latin codex (Athanassakis xii). The current collection, on which our two English translations by Thomas Taylor and A.A. Athanassakis are based, appeared around the 12th century. Our translators offer widely differing scholarly ideas about the true history of the hymns, opinions which greatly influence the style and content of the respective translations. Even their answers to the key questions – Did Orpheus exist? and Did he write these hymns?–are widely divergent.
Thomas Taylor published the first English translation of the hymns in 1792. An avowed classicist and 'liberal mind,' Mr. Taylor prefaces the hymns with a lengthy dissertation on the life and theology of Orpheus. His purpose for embarking on the work is to reveal the heritage of Greek philosophy as beginning with Orpheus and continuing through Pythagoras and Plato, and to also showcase the striking similarities between the religious ideas of the ancient Greeks and modern Christian beliefs.
Ultimately, his prefatory dissertation is of more value than the translations themselves. Mr. Taylor, through close study of obscure ancient sources, many of them available to him only as crumbling medieval manuscripts, has provided us with a clear and sensible historical outline of the hymn's genesis, and also a revelatory summation of the life of the author. Mr. Taylor accepts it as a matter of fact that Orpheus did in fact exist, that he (more or less) accomplished all the feats attributed to him, and that he composed his hymns as a repository for his spiritual and philosophical knowledge. The ingenuous solution to the obvious biographical paradoxes – i.e. how could one person die so many different ways – is that Orpheus is a reincarnate spirit, like the Buddha, and that there were actually four ancient Orpheuses, and five if you count the first Orpheus' decision to reincarnate initially as a swan, so as not 'to be born of woman.' Each of these Orpheuses accomplished different things; for the sake of this review, we need only identify that it was the fourth Orpheus who composed the hymns, sometime between 800-600 BCE.
As for the Taylor translation itself; it is, in a word, terrible. Mr. Taylor himself seems to acknowledge this, and offers in his preface not only the timeless translator's complaint of the ultimate impossibility of their enterprise, but also an explanation of the Hymn's singular difficulty. Apparently their construction around conclusive epithets involves so many hermetic devices that it is impossible to communicate their meaning to the uninitiated. According to Mr. Taylor:
Most of the compound epithets of which the following Hymns chiefly consist, thought very beautiful in the Greek language; yet when literally translated into ours, lose all their propriety and force. In their native tongue, as in a prolific soil, they diffuse their sweets with full-blown elegance; but shrink like the sensitive plant at the touch of the verbal critic, or the close translator (ix).
None of this, however, explains Mr. Taylor's most grievious injury to his source material: his decision to render the hymns in a contemporary idiom, wholly prosaic and entirely inappropriate, complete with an awkward a-b-a-b rhyme scheme. Yikes.
A. Athanassakis does a much better job with the actual translation, and in his preface offers a much more sober–some would say boring and unexciting–explanation of the hymn's provenance. According to him, Orpheus existed in the same way Hercules did: as a mythical character that, over time, accumulated a symbolic/spiritual significance which attracted a band of worshippers. The Orphic hymns were thus composed around 400 CE by a nameless priest of the Orphic cult, for use in a ritual setting.
Mr. Athanassakis, who has taught in the Classics Department of UC Santa Barbara for nearly thirty years, composed his translation in the 1960s, on a commission from a group concerned with making available obscure ancient religious texts for scholarly study. It is intended as a corrective for the Taylor translation, which, according to Athanassakis, obscures the intermittent literary quality of the original. Mr. Athanassakis, a professional scholar of Greek and translator, has also done celebrated, academic translations of the Homeric Hymns and Hesiod's Theogony; having no personal knowledge of Greek, I take this to signify a greater fidelity to the original than that offered by Mr. Taylor.
The Athanassakis translation is, as he states, straightforward and unadorned. There is no rhyme scheme, no attempt to resolve linguistic obscurities; the result is a batch of hymns that are intermittently dull, often interesting, and, on a couple of occasions, truly stunning. Take, for example, the two renderings of Hymn LXXX.
Sea-born, aerial, blowing from the west,
Sweet gales, who give to weary'd labour rest:
Vernal and grassy, and of gentle sound,
To ships delightful, thro' the sea profound;
For these, impell'd by you with gentle force,
Pursue with prosp'rous Fate their destin'd course.
With blameless gales regard my suppliant pray'r,
Zephyrs unseen, light-wind'd, and form'd from air.
Western breezes, ethereal begetters of all,
as you blow gently your whisper brings deathlike rest.
Vernal and meadow-haunting, you are loved by havens
because to ships you bring . . . soft and light air.
Come in a spirit of kindness and blow perfectly,
O airy, invisible and light-winged ones.
Again, I have no personal knowledge of ancient Greek, but "vernal and grassy" can't sound good in any language. It can be seen that in the Taylor translation we get a stilted example of English Romantic poetry, stamped upon an ancient Greek source; in the Athanassakis, a simple but moving poem of ethereal beauty. The value of the Taylor translation, as stated, resides in his explication of Orphic theology and adventurous interpretation of the hymn's compositional history. As a purely literary document, however, the Athanassakis work stands on a higher level. It is impossible to determine the historical accuracy of the Orpheus myth. According to Orphic scholar M.L. West, who bases his determination on various ancient Greek sources, Orpheus would have predated Homer by several centuries, and even the ancient accounts that document that era are secondhand and steeped in allegory. Regardless, whether the hymns are the literal utterances of Apollo's son, or the creation of "a religious association of people who called themselves mystic initiates" (Athanassakis 4), their literary quality is revealed in the more recent translation. It can be hoped that more scholarly attention may solve the riddle of their appearance, but until then, we must enjoy them for what they are: beautiful poems of indisputably spiritual significance.

According to TSN, the British Columbia Lions defeated the Calgary Stampeders 25-24 at McMahon Stadium on Friday evening. With 1:32 left in the fourth quarter, Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn, who played for the Stampeders just a season ago, threw a 65 yard game winning touchdown pass to Ernest Jackson to give the Lions a one point victory.
The Lions took the lead early in the first quarter on an interception by Ronnie Yell, who then ran 34 yards into the end zone to open the scoring. The Stampeders then tied the game in the first quarter when Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mtchell threw an 18 yard touchdown pass to Marquay McDaniel.
After the Lions took the lead on a 10-7 field goal, the Stampeders responded with a 63 yard interception return for a touchdown from Keon Raymond and a one yard touchdown from Drew Tate. However despite entering the second half with a 21-10 lead the Stampeders could not hold on to the victory. In addition to Jackson's fourth quarter major score, the Lions got an early fourth quarter touchdown on a pass from Glenn to running back Andrew Harris.
The Stampeders had difficulty stopping Harris, who had 143 total yards (73 receiving and 70 rushing). With the victory, the Lions improved to 3-3 and the Stampeders dropped to 4-1. It has been a very inconsistent start to the Lions season to date because they have looked strong in their wins over Calgary, the Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders, and struggled in their losses to Edmonton, Montreal and Winnipeg.
The Stampeders pass defense struggled a little too. Glenn meanwhile outpassed Mitchell by fifty passing yards.
The Stampeders will next play against the expansion Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday, August 9 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Game time is 5:30 p.m. mountain time and can be seen on TSN.

The Mesa City Council will be asked Monday night to help the Police Department battle the "designer drug" epidemic.
Designer drugs, often sold under names like spice or bath salts, have nothing to do with the generic products after which they're named. Constantly reformulated to stay one step ahead of the law, the drugs are aimed at replicating the effects of methamphetamines or marijuana.
Mesa police often meet the problem in the form of impaired drivers, and the city prosecutor's office is being offered about $60,000 from the DUI Abatement Council, a state agency, to beef up its efforts in court.
Council approval is needed for Mesa to accept the grant, which will be divided into two pools:
$10,000 to pay expert witnesses.
About $50,000 to create an online site containing materials that defense attorneys often demand during the discovery phase of a case.
"The Mesa prosecutor's office and Mesa police crime lab are inundated by defense requests for voluminous discovery," City Attorney Debbie Spinner and prosecutor Jon Eliason told the council in a memo.
They added, "The discovery impacts our crime lab the hardest, often requiring criminalists to stop testing DUI cases to comply with court orders such as copying the crime lab's entire quality assurance manual and maintenance logs of the testing machines."
Posting those materials on a website will allow the crime lab to focus on its primary task, they said. It also will cut hefty bills for paper and toner.
During the 5:45 p.m. meeting Monday at 57 E. First St., the council also is expected to approve a bicycle master plan and a revised agreement that will help assure Mesa's water supply for the next century.
The approximately 150-page bicycle plan is the latest emanation from Mesa's 40-year effort to promote non-auto forms of transportation.
The plan lists several goals for 2022, including a national "platinum" ranking as a bike-friendly city and the addition of 120 miles of on-street bike lanes.
Probably the most ambitious target is to increase off-street bike routes from six miles to 93 miles during the life of the plan.
A report from James Hash, a transportation planner in charge of the program, gives no price tag for the overall program
But Hash notes that much of Mesa's bicycle infrastructure has been funded by federal grants administered through state and county agencies. Money for alternative forms of transportation is included in a $109 billion transportation bill approved by Congress last June.
Mesa's overarching aim is to have 5 percent of all trips to work and school be by bicycle within nine years.
The water deal on the council's agenda refines terms of a settlement that Mesa and numerous other governments reached with the White Mountain Apache Tribe in 2009.
It has to be approved again to conform with a federal law that Congress adopted when accepting the deal in 2010.
Although it's pretty hard to tell one water molecule from another, the intricacies of Western water law slice and dice the precious commodity into any number of categories. Under the White Mountain deal, Mesa will tap into two:
Water delivered via the Central Arizona Project canal that has the highest level of legal protection during times of drought. Mesa will pay the White Mountain tribe $2.2million, as measured in 2008 dollars, for 866 acre-feet of this water for the next century.
CAP water with the second-highest level of protection. Mesa will pay $4.8million in 2008 dollars for 2,291 acre-feet per year, also for 100 years.
Kathryn Sorensen, water resources director, told the council that Mesa will make the payment in one lump sum, probably not until about two years from now. Because of inflation, Mesa's actual payments may be closer to $7.4million.
An acre-foot is generally defined as enough water to support two households for a year. Thus, the water being purchased will sustain nearly 1,600 households until early in the 22nd century.

Close collaborators since 2007, the two applied their knowledge of market timing and positioning, capitalization structures, design and marketing tofill the voids they observed in the current market. Cervera Real Estate has spearheaded the property's marketing and sales strategy.

How to Transfer Power Series
Level: PROFESSIONAL
Once the Taichi practitioner has the ability to transform their Chi into the high-frequency signal of Jing, he or she may start to develop the ability to "transfer power" (Fah Jing). This technique allows one to project their energy upon contact, with great force and distance, to affect another person in a martial arts application.
In this never-before recorded teaching, Master Liao explains the step by step practice and application theory of transferring power. The series starts by explaining how to upgrade your individual practice so that you will be able to transfer power with a future opponent. It continues by providing detailed instructions and demonstrations from Master Liao on applying Fah Jing in key forms, such as Ward-Off, Press, and Push.
Master Liao also gives important practice tips and techniques for Two-Person practice to help build the ability to sense the right opportunity for transferring power, as well as choosing the right direction and form to use. Only by practicing with a partner can you develop the sensitivity to use Jing correctly and understand whether your transfer power attempts are successful.
This series is reserved for the most advanced students who have a broad-based training in all of Master Liao's materials. Without a firm mastery of all of the principles contained on Master Liao's preceding DVDs, you simply will not be able to master the techniques provided in this series. Premature practice of Fah Jing may not only be ineffective, but practiced incorrectly, may result in physical injury in a two-person practice setting, and severe energy imbalance for the inexperienced practitioner. Only those students who have strict supervision in the initial practice principles of Fah Jing, and who have been instructed in the safe execution of these skills will be allowed to purchase these DVDs.
The following DVD titles currently comprise this series, although more may be added over time:
Disc 1.) How to Prepare for Transferring Power
Disc 2.) How to Transfer Power in Ward-Off Form
Disc 3.) How to Transfer Power in Press Form
Disc 4.) How to Transfer Power in Push Form
Disc 5.) Two-Person Meditation to Build Fah Jing Accuracy

Product Features:
- 15″ generous height.
- soft, velveteen outer fabric
- high-quality stitching
- uppercase and lowercase felt letters
- two sided and two contrasting colors
- includes a tag with Alphabeasts' personality
I was pleasantly surprised when I received these two Alphabeasts to review. These letters are Squishy's exact initials! How perfect was that? I know that my little guy is going to have a blast learning his alphabet when the time is right, because the Alphabeasts make learning fun. My 3-year old niece knows her ABCs already, however she's still learning to recognize how each letter looks. She loves these Alphabeasts! I've been reviewing with her and now she can recognize her "Z" and "O", it's great!
Some things I love about the Alphabeasts is that each one is paired with the corresponding lowercase letter on the other side. This is great when teaching your children the importance of uppercase and lower case letters. I think it was a clever idea to also pair each letter with contrasting colors. Now you have two lessons in one! The size of these plush toys are so generous- perfect for your child to hug and carry around. I also love that despite the appearance of these "beasts", they are very soft and cuddly, which makes them a friendly product.
I would love to see AlphaToys come out with an Alphabeasts version for learning your numbers! Each number could be a "beast" or each "beast" could have a unique number of features to them. A beast with 2 tails to represent the number 2, or 8 eyes, or 4 ears, etc. That would be a cool, plush way to teach your children their numbers, I think. Who knows! What I do know is that the Alphabeasts are a brilliant way to engage your children in learning the alphabet and I recommend them to everyone- parents, teachers, students, alike.
You can visit the Alphabeasts website here and find out more about these great products!

Rascal House, a local pizza chain, recently moved its flagship location from near Cleveland State University's student center to the Union Building on Euclid Avenue. The new spot may be smaller, but the modern design offers a more relaxed, inviting atmosphere created with the student demographic in mind. "The overall vibe [is] cozier. We have a power bar with a lot of outlets for laptops," says Niko Frangos, director of concept development. "The high seating area lets people hang out, charge their cellphones, do some work and get a bite to eat."
Tommy's in Cleveland Heights proves it's easy being green. The popular spot recently won a Nature's Plate Award from the Nature Conservancy naming it the area's best green restaurant. Locals considered factors such as the use seasonal produce when voting. "It's not just about sustainability in terms of food, but sustainability for your neighborhood," says owner Tom Fello. "We've been doing it for 41 years."
Crafted Artisan Meadery's newest honey wine does more than just taste good. A portion of sales from the carbonated blackberry mead, dubbed the Pollinator ($8.99), will be donated to the Ohio State University Bee Lab, which studies colony collapse disorder. "Honey is critical to our success, but it's a much bigger issue than that," says Kent Waldeck, owner of the Mogadore company. "When we rolled this out, it seemed like a great opportunity to bring some awareness to it." To find Crafted Artisan Meadery in a store or restaurant near you, visit craftedmead.com.

Dirty Rice
By Chris Jay 10/11/2012
Crowd control
It's a question that bands debate long into the night after shows and practices: How can some local bands pull large crowds while others spend years gigging and still struggle to get even a handful of friends out? There are a lot of reasons, of course, talent being a big one, but let's face it — we can all name at least one amazing local artist whose nonexistent draw is baffling. Sometimes, though, a relatively new band can seem to have instant drawing power. In 2012, without question, Ventura County's breakout act has been the seven-piece South Oxnard reggae band, Dirty Rice.
Family affair
The rapid rise of Dirty Rice is as unlikely as can be. Two brothers, Maualuga and Mataio Valoago and their three cousins, Pika Maiava, Nasau Galeai and Henry Otineru, along with two close friends, Shirley Moore and Charleen Morla, got together to play a few songs at a birthday party for two of the members in 2010 at Sam's Saloon. It was supposed to be a one-night-only gig, but a funny thing happened, friends and family practically begged the band to play again. With offers for parties and gigs, and with no game plan whatsoever, Dirty Rice was happily forced into being. Where most bands hit a wall when it comes to bringing crowds after a few shows, being a seven-member family band had its immediate benefits. At a Dirty Rice show, you're likely to see an age range from little kids to senior citizens and everyone in between, who all have some relation to the band. Venues took quick notice of the strong turnouts and suddenly the one-night-only band was fielding offers from virtually every venue in town. As the band's ultra-friendly guitarist Henry Otineru humorously admits, "Things have happened fast. A year ago, I had no idea what a back line was or what sharing cabs or advancing a show meant. It's been an extraordinary learning experience."
Reggae nation
One thing that helps with Dirty Rice's meteoric local rise is its chosen genre. Ventura, being a Southern California beach town, has always been reggae-friendly territory. Reggae shows at the Ventura Theater are always massively attended, legends like Pato Banton and H.R. from Bad Brains appear from time to time at small venues like Golden China, and the last local band to develop a major local following was Rey Fresco, whose sound is very much reggae-flavored. Local festival and outdoor events that are always looking for acts that can draw crowds and keep them dancing, drinking and eating, have always been eager to book reggae bands. Dirty Rice has benefited from that as well, scoring coveted slots at the Ventura County Fair, Spencer Makenzie's Block Party, the Aloha Fest and the California Beer Fest to name a few. The band, which earlier in the year kept performances limited, lately has been very busy but is clearly aware of the dangers of overbooking. "We've taken a lot of advice from other bands and we're trying to be really careful not to burn out our audience," says Otineru.
Future grooves
In between balancing day jobs, a necessary evil when members range in age from 31 to 41, the band is looking to broaden its base. While the first release, a three-song demo, tied for top honors in the local music recording category in VCReporter's Best Of poll, the plan is to head into the studio with Armand John Anthony next month to make a proper full-length. They're also eager to take their energetic and positive live show outside Ventura County borders, with recent performances at the House of Blues in Anaheim and their first trip up north to Fresno State Fair this weekend. Dirty Rice has plans to grow in 2013. Whether they'll have the same trajectory outside out the 805's borders remains to be seen, but as Otineru puts it, "We're thankful for the blessing and the opportunity. No matter what happens, this past year has been like a dream for us."

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ which has split multiplicative reduction at $p$ (a prime). If one chooses a global Neron model of $E$ over $\mathbf{Z}$ (unique up to unique isomorphism over $\mathbf{Z}$) then one gets a holomorphic differential (on the Neron model) which is well defined up to $\pm 1$. Then one may define the following positive real number $$ \Omega_E:=\int_{E(\mathbf{R})}|\omega| \in \mathbf{R}_{>0}. $$
The quantity $\Omega_E$ "seems to appear" in the $p$-adic formulation of BSD. Let $\alpha,\alpha'\in\mathbf{C}$ be the two roots of the Frobenius at $p$ (acting on the Tate module). Let us assume that $\alpha$ is ordinary i.e. that its image in $\mathbf{C}_p$ is a unit ($v_p(\alpha)=0$). Note here that the choice $\alpha$ (the ordinary root at $p$) depends (in general) on the choice of an embedding $\bar{\mathbf{Q}}\rightarrow \mathbf{C}_p$. Once such an embedding is fixed then the $p$-adic $L$-function $L_p(E,s)$ (which is defined by $p$-adic integration using a certain measure which depends on $\alpha$), seems to be, as far as I understand, completely determined (may be this is here that I make a mistake). Therefore "the image" of $\Omega_E$ in $\mathbf{C}_p$ should also be completely determined. But if $\Omega_E$ is transcendental over $\mathbf{Q}$ then one can send $\Omega_E$ on any transcendental (over $\mathbf{Q}$) element of $\mathbf{C}_p$ by choosing a suitable embedding of $\mathbf{R}\hookrightarrow \mathbf{C}_p$.
Q: So how can we reconcile the fact that $\Omega_E$ admits many different embeddings inscide $\mathbf{C}_p$ with the observation that its image in $\mathbf{C}_p$ should be completely determined?
added: Is this discrepancy somehow compensated by the presence of the $\mathcal{L}$ invariant...?

NEW HAVEN — New Haven's mayor, John DeStefano, has proposed several public safety changes after a woman was fatally shot and five others were injured in a nightclub shooting early Saturday morning.
The New Haven Register reported DeStefano proposed fees on Saturday for nightclubs in districts where a heavy police presence is required, and that police license and train private security at nightclubs, authorize the city to approve club licenses, and review different liquor licenses to determine if the state should simplify the permits.
The mayor said more needs to be done to crack down on gun violence. He cited the killings of 20 children and six educators last December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
''It's curious to me in this state we stand on our high horse and say . . . 'After Sandy Hook we should be banning all these assault weapons and such.' True enough,'' DeStefano said. ''But it seems to me after these kinds of incidents, you know, look in the mirror in Connecticut and take action to save lives.''
Michael Lawlor, Governor Dannel P. Malloy's undersecretary for criminal justice policy and planning, said many of DeStefano's proposals are sensible and have been proposed to the Legislature. Getting the proposals passed into law could be a daunting task, he said.
"The mayor makes valid points and the governor supports them,'' he said. ''Getting it through the Legislature won't be easy.''
DeStefano's term as mayor will be up before the start of next year's legislative session in February.
State Senator Toni Harp, the Democratic candidate for New Haven mayor, said the city and club owners should reach agreement on some of DeStefano's proposals now instead of waiting for the start of the legislative session. As an example, she said an agreement can be reached with club owners on training of security officers.
''I can't imagine why they would be opposed to do that,'' she said.
The morning shooting at the Key Club Cabaret killed Erica Robinson, 26, and injured Amanda John, 19; Jahad Brumsey, 29; Nijia Ward, 24; Albert Dickerson, 34; and Ivette Sterling, 25.
Police said the homicide was the fourth club-related killing this year.

What prevents an attack on Postfix through its named pipes by writing bogus data to them? I see on my system that they permit write access to other. I wonder if that opens Postfix to DoS or some other form of attack.

I reviewed the pickup(8) and qmgr(8) man pages, and searched here and elsewhere, but failed to turn up any answers. I found no information about the named pipes themselves: not even what's normally written to them, much less how they are secured. The words pipe or fifo do not even appear in the documentation.

With one news story Warner Bros. got all the attention on their superhero movies they had been seeking for some time. Upon release of the apparent schedule for their lineup, which included Wonder Woman, Shazam, and a Green Lantern/The Flash movie, along with Justice League in 2017, all eyes are on what the studio plans to do next. And now according to HitFix we're getting confirmation on Jason Momoa's long-rumored involvement in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and beyond.
According to their report, Momoa is definitely on board to play Aquaman in 'Dawn of Justice", as had been rumored some months back. Conflicting stories have emerged since then saying he might actually play Martian Manhunter (more on him in a moment), but that's not the case and probably wouldn't have been a good fit anyway. Aquaman's role would be small yet pivotal in setting up the Justice League movie, as the king of Atlantis will be one upset over the devastation to the world's oceans caused by the World Engine in Man of Steel. His anger will carry over into Justice League where presumably he and Superman will have a real confrontation.
It's worth noting Aquaman's presence in the film runs counter to Nikki Finke's earlier story that claimed Aquaman wouldn't be in 'Dawn of Justice' at all. So does that mean we should totally discount everything including Warner Bros.' proposed lineup?
Adding more fuel to the fire is a tweet from Jeff Sneider at The Wrap which lists Martian Manhunter, former Justice League ally-turned-villain Max Lord, and the much bigger villain Darkseid as Justice League characters. No actors are attached to those roles yet but Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot are penciled in as Superman and Wonder Woman.
With only a month to go until Comic-Con we probably won't hear any real confirmations but expect the rumors to keep swirling until then.

For More Information
Executive Leadership Institute
The Executive Leadership Institute at the New England Conference for Student Success provides a rare opportunity to learn from talented and sought-after educators who are focused on student success. Open to both new and seasoned administrators, this program will allow participants to consult with experts while learning from each other as they consider the options available for their campuses.
At the 2013 Institute, participants had the opportunity to work closely with the conference keynote speakers, Dr. Adrianna Kezar and Dr. Becky Wai-Ling Packard in small, focused workshops. Following the afternoon sessions participants had dinner with the presenters and Dr. John V. Lombardi, director of The Center for Measuring University Performance. Dr. Lombardi is also the past president of the Louisiana State University System and former chancellor of UMass Amherst.
The Executive Leadership Institute takes place on the Thursday afternoon prior to the New England Conference for Student Success. Enrollment for the Institute is limited to 30 participants, which allows for a high degree of interaction with the presenters as well as colleagues from around the region.
Who Should Attend?
The Executive Leadership Institute is intended for high-level campus administrators who are responsible for planning and assessing programs related to student success. While we are explicitly inviting CEOs to attend, we also encourage institutions to consider sending a pair of decision makers, e.g., chief academic officer, chief student affairs officer, and/or institutional research officer. This is a particularly good opportunity to have newer administrators learn alongside their more experienced counterparts.
