The Flotsam Trilogy omnibus by Peter M. Ball will be released on November 18, 2015.
"Excellent noir yarn with well interwoven demonic and supernatural aspects…" –Alan Baxter, author of Alex Caine series
My name's Keith Murphy. Danny Roark and I hunt down the dark things that prey on humans like you. Or we did, until what seemed like a routine assassination job went bad. Really bad. Now the end of the world is coming at us like a possessed freight train. Running doesn't bother me. It's a fine survival trait. What bothers me is the 9mm bullet I swallowed—with the soul of my last victim trapped inside it. That botched job I mentioned. He was leader of the Raven Cult: bloodthirsty fools who won't let a little thing like death cramp their style. When Roark goes down, I'm left to figure out what the cult's survivors are planning. It's a puzzle I've got to figure out before the Gloom gets too strong and the real monsters come through—ones my ragtag, mostly demonic, army can't handle. All this magic and end of the world stuff was Roark's department, not mine. I'll have to figure it out as I go. The end of the world's still coming, but it's got to go through me first.The Flotsam Trilogy contains the novellas Exile, Frost, and Crusade as well as two more stories from the gold coast, "Local Heroes" and "Tithes."
"Brutal and inventive..."–David Versace, The Lexifabricographer

Oh, dear.
I wish I feared the things in my books. Eternal damnation or creatures from beyond the veil. I wish ghosts and aliens made my hair stand on end. Honestly, however, they don't.
Given my publisher, I wish the apocalypse gave me pause, but no dice. I watched The Day After in grade school, and while I later understood why it was such a big deal, even at the time it seemed kind of silly to worry about it.
Even threats that are all too real – serial killers, drone strikes, and mass shooters – don't really scare me. I mean, I'd be scared if I knew that one had targeted me. I'd be even more terrified if someone I love was a victim of one.
Nevertheless, as with the end of the world, I learned early on that worrying about unlikely things (and by the numbers, these things are unlikely) does more harm than good. To spend your life preparing for a disaster that never comes is counterproductive, if it gets in the way of enjoying your life in the moment.
I know. Hello, ants. Meet the grasshopper.
No, none of those things worries me.
I won't share the one thing which terrifies me above all else. To do so would be paradoxical; this may give a clue in and of itself.
Instead, let me speak of L'appel du vide – The call of the void. The unlovely language of science and psychology calls it High Place Phenomenon; but the French philosophy is so much clearer and more true.
At its most basic, this is the urge to jump off of a tall bridge, or building. I used to think it only happened to me, that it was the apex of a certain tendency toward self-destructive activities; but I've learned that it's a widespread phenomenon.
That helps, somewhat. It makes things seem more rational.
It doesn't help when I'm there.
The last time it struck me was here, in Door County, Wisconsin. Adamant that I could overcome it, that this time would be different, that I am a grown man who needs to face his fears, I insisted on climbing to the top.
Once there, Leanne tells me I was simultaneously shaking and paralytic until I had to sit down, where I couldn't see over the railings. I barely remember that. I just remember looking at the treetops, and picturing them rushing past me. Looking at the rocks and feeling them scrape against my skin as my body rolled down the ravine. I remember that my hands hurt gripping the railings tight on my way back down, wincing as merry children raced past me on their way up.
Per Kierkegaard's The Concept of Anxiety, the anxiety of individual freedom and responsibility causes L'appel du vide. The fact that one is free to make any decision, even the most terrifying, triggers immense feelings of dread.
Kierkegaard called this our "dizziness of freedom," the ability to make any choice we want at any time in our lives. That terrible sense of freedom, and the consequences it carries, lies at the heart of my greatest fears.
Read into my writing whatever else you may wish. This one's now a given.
~Ivan Ewert, author of the Gentlemen Ghouls series.

Apocalypse Ink Productions started our segment on Author Etiquette earlier this year and it has been a great success. AIP loves authors, we wouldn't be in this business if we didn't and we want to do our best to help support authors. Almost every author I've encountered has had a dream of being on the NYT Best Seller's List and earning a six figure income. It does happen sometimes, but for the majority of writers, it's a struggle to keep going forward. Most authors have to split their time between a day job that pays bills and the quest of writing the breakout story. Over time dreams begins to fade as the rejection pile grows and many authors begin to wonder if their stories are good enough and even if they should be an author in the first place.Being an author is possibly one of the most difficult occupations out there. If you ask for advice you will find there's a thousand ways to write a story and none of them are right and none are wrong; every author follows a different path to success. What works for one won't work for another. It's difficult to point at a particular road a new or struggling author should take when they are feeling down. It's normal to feel disappointed when you get a rejection. But sometimes it weighs on you. After a while many authors begin to feel as though they are imposters—people who pretend to be in an occupation. It's a very common form of doubt that plagues many creatives.So what can you do about it?Let Other People KnowFor many authors, it's difficult to let other's know that we are feeling down. Afterall, we get to play in these interesting worlds and let our characters do amazing things—what do we have to be sad about? Plenty, but we don't have to hold it in. Confiding in a close friend, family member or even an open post on social media, can let others know that you are struggling. Establishing a support group is essential to help creatives handle the ups and downs of what we do. Take a Step BackSometimes we get so caught up in the process of creating, editing or rewriting, that we forget that there's a lot more going on in the world. Take a night or weekend off away from your story and even the internet. Go outside for a long walk in the sun or go out with friends for a fun evening. Even a short break such as watching a show with friends or family can help set aside the disappointment and give you a new outlook.Sometimes you might even have to take a longer break. A short recharge might help for a little while but sometimes an author might need to set the writing aside for a week, a month or even longer, before they feel ready to face submissions and the results. It's okay to feel you need a longer break. It's necessary sometimes but don't forget to come back.Try Something ElseI know many authors who are creative in other fields as well. Some like to knit and crochet, while others draw or create jewelry. By changing your focus to another outlet, you sometimes get a different perspective on those rejections. You might just let your subconscious work out an issue or figure out what story will be next. If you aren't sure you have other creative skills (and yes everyone does they just may not want to let other people see them) then volunteer for some slush or beta reading. Look at your own bookshelf for something you've not read yet. Stop worrying about your own writing for a little while.Talking with a ProfessionalBut sometimes talking with your support group or even taking a break doesn't relieve the feelings of disappointment. Sometimes those feelings get deeper and darker. If you, a friend or relative, is dealing with more than simple disappointment, then it may be time to talk to a professional. Depression is a very serious health issue that can be helped by physicians and counselors. Sometimes medication is the answer. For others counseling makes a difference. Getting help is the first step to relieving that dark weight that looms over you. Disappointment doesn't have to strangle your creativity. Asking for some support, taking a break, doing something new and sometimes contacting a professional health provider can help you when you are feeling down. AThe bad news is we all suffer from disappointment at some point or another. The good news is, we've all been there before.

When mysterious strangers start to appear, claiming that he has a power which makes him unique, he finds himself entangled in their world; a world of shape shifters. Soon, he is thrust into the middle of a centuries long war, and must master his ability before either side claims him... as an asset or a casualty. The Bringer of War: Months have passed, and the Arm of Gaia and the Shadows still struggle to control Darien's destiny, attempting to use him to tip the balance of their war. But Darien has embraced his power. He and his allies have gone on the offensive, hunting down those who are trying to enslave him. Meanwhile, another renegade shifter has appeared, trying to pull Darien away from his friends for reasons of her own. The Torn Soul: Time is running out for Darien. As new players and new dangers enter the scene, Darien must confront his past, and convince the Arm of Gaia and the Shadows to work together against a new enemy—before his mind is lost to the Sheynan's curse.

A key challenge in the estimation of tropical arthropod species richness is the appropriate management of the large uncertainties associated with any model. Such uncertainties had largely been ignored until recently, when we attempted to account for uncertainty associated with model variables, using Monte Carlo analysis. This model is restricted by various assumptions. Here, we use a technique known as probability bounds analysis to assess the influence of assumptions about (1) distributional form and (2) dependencies between variables, and to construct probability bounds around the original model prediction distribution. The original Monte Carlo model yielded a median estimate of 6.1 million species, with a 90 % confidence interval of [3.6, 11.4]. Here we found that the probability bounds (p-bounds) surrounding this cumulative distribution were very broad, owing to uncertainties in distributional form and dependencies between variables. Replacing the implicit assumption of pure statistical independence between variables in the model with no dependency assumptions resulted in lower and upper p-bounds at 0.5 cumulative probability (i.e., at the median estimate) of 2.9–12.7 million. From here, replacing probability distributions with probability boxes, which represent classes of distributions, led to even wider bounds (2.4–20.0 million at 0.5 cumulative probability). Even the 100th percentile of the uppermost bound produced (i.e., the absolutely most conservative scenario) did not encompass the well-known hyper-estimate of 30 million species of tropical arthropods. This supports the lower estimates made by several authors over the last two decades.

Because if he's planning on boxing him calmly that just aint gonna work.
Brewster isn't going to be dictating this fight though. Wladimir and his jab are. Brewster can want to go to war all he wants, but if he can't get past Wlad's jab, then the only person he will be at war with is himself. Wladimir's movement and jab are going to be setting the pace of this fight. It will be his pinpoint power punching set up by that jab that ends the fight.
Of course Brewster is always going to be dangerous to anyone that he faces, and has the ability to turn fights around with one great shot... but that doesn't mean skill is out the window. If you go into a fight with him under that mindset, then you have already lost. Wladimir is going to stick to his game, which up until he gassed out against Brewster the first time was more than enough.

Profit, profit, profit. INVESTYOURBUCK!
Not so fast my friend, profit came from sale of field services, not from current ops($1 mil loss). They decided to recognize this revenue in Q1 of 2013 instead of Q4 of 2012. Its a one-time thing and a strategy to try and build momentum.
Debt is down however which is good and should help with interest cost. If they can turn a profit in current ops, then a corner will be turned.
Basically saw some good news, some bad news in the report. Interesting to see where they go from here but I would say Hold right now.

New London - The city and the Renaissance City Development Association are continuing to explore the construction of a parking garage in the Fort Trumbull neighborhood to accommodate the parking needs of Electric Boat and future development on the peninsula.
Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, which is retrofitting a building on nearby Howard Street for medical offices, is also interested in parking in that area of the city.
"It's in the preliminary stages," Michael Joplin, a member of the RCDA, said Friday. "But everyone now is beginning to understand, yes, we have a parking problem, and a garage is the way out of it."
Electric Boat, the city and the RCDA are discussing how to provide more parking for the roughly 3,000 people who work daily at the Electric Boat facility on Pequot Avenue, he said.
The site being looked at in Fort Trumbull is on ledge and runs along the railroad tracks, Joplin said. The garage would be a public facility. The state Department of Economic and Community Development is also in on discussions, Joplin said, in an effort to help the city find federal and state grants to fund the project.
Parking garages cost about $18,000 to $20,000 per space to build. A 500-space garage would cost around $10 million, Joplin said.
EB has needed more parking than what is available in its own parking garage on Pequot Avenue ever since moving into the former Pfizer Global Research and Development Headquarters in 2010. Each day hundreds of EB workers park along Pequot Avenue and on streets in Fort Trumbull. Others are bused from the Groton facility to New London. Electric Boat needs between 400 and 650 more spaces for its workers, Joplin said.
But Robert Hamilton, spokesman for EB, said the company provides enough parking for its employees.
"We don't need any more spaces," he said. "It's a matter of where people choose to park."
Joplin also said Electric Boat is looking at the possibility of building a garage on its property at the rotary on Pequot Avenue, which is the site of Pfizer's former visitors center. But Joplin said the site may not be large enough.
In response, Hamilton said the company does not comment on speculation.
The RCDA board was briefed Friday morning on the status of the project.
"We're trying to explore options for a structured parking garage to alleviate parking problems," President Linda Mariani said after the meeting.
Tammy Daugherty, the city's director of economic development, said no decision has been made as to where a garage would be located, how big it would be, and how it would be operated. Funding also has to be discussed, she said.
"The city would be interested in having a parking garage that would be an enhancement to further development in Fort Trumbull," she said.
A proposal for Village on Thames, a three-phase, 103-unit housing development in Fort Trumbull, has been stalled since last spring. The RCDA and developers Robert and Irwin Stillman are in contract mediation about the project.
Joplin said another meeting with EB will take place in December. He hopes to give the RCDA and the city a more detailed report in January about costs and funding possibilities.
Last summer the RCDA was looking at allowing EB to temporarily park about 100 cars on Parcel 4a in Fort Trumbull. That plan never materialized.
Parcel 4a was the subject of an eminent domain lawsuit that brought notoriety to the city. Two families that owned land in Parcel 4a were displaced when the city took the land by eminent domain. Susette Kelo, one of the property owners, was the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that argued that it was unconstitutional to take private property for future economic development. The appeals went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in a 5-4 decision in 2005 in favor of the city and against the property owners.

"Malawi GOLD" Nkhata Bay by w8andzee
Nkhata Bay Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 42 photos
If you ever set your fot in Malawi, wich you most definitelly should, you will encounter som of the most friendly people on this earth. Always close to a smile and with greeting gestures that would make the rappers of N.Y. envious. A small country, easy to get around, both by road or by taking the Ilala. A ship from the early 50's going up/down weekly. TAKE IT at some part of your journey, it's fantastic wether it's raining or sunny. Go to some of the National Parks, spot a zebra. Take a diving certificate in the giant aqarium the lake really is. Cheap as hell. Spoil your self rotten and rent a honeymoon island at Kaya Mawa for you and your loved one. Get a shirt sown and sponsor the locals, drink malawi gin with some stoney ginger.
If you go you will be back....
- Pros:The People, the lake, the food (sometimes)
- Cons:There never is enough time
- In a nutshell:You gotta go...

Mariner youth movement might not be immediately visible
There are 1 comment on the Seattle Times story from Mar 19, 2011, titled Mariner youth movement might not be immediately visible. In it, Seattle Times reports that:
But it's sure starting to look like the team they will trot out at the beginning of the season won't be very youthful.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Seattle Times.
#1 Mar 19, 2011
Great, here it is spring and baseball is all set to begin and those of us that are or have been Mariner fans have another disaster to look forward to. If a team has an over paid vet who can no longer play up to what's needed, OK just trade him to Seattle, they have lots of good looking prospects in the minors. They are there because they are never brought up for any extended time to adjust. The best thing for Moore, Ackerly, Sanders and several others would be if they got included in a trade with some team that will give them a chance.

I remembered the website from Jeremy's answer to a live chatters question a few weeks ago - spaceweather.com. We received several calls from viewers Monday night wondering what the red light in the sky was. Spaceweather.com provided the answer - Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights. It's an amazing show put on when energy particles from the sun interact with the earth's magnetic field.
I was so bummed I didn't see them! Growing up in Wisconsin, I remember many nights when my dad would call us out to the yard to point out the cool streaks of light moving around the skies to the north. A few years back, my memory was refreshed during a trip to Alaska, where they're an even more common site.
A few photos from Monday night are on the weather team's Facebook page. Did any of you see them? What did you think?

USGS/Google Maps
This map shows the location of the 4.1-magnitude earthquake that rattled an area north of Oklahoma City early Sunday.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The U.S. Geological Survey says a 4.1 magnitude earthquake rattled an area about 30 miles north-northeast of Oklahoma City early Sunday and was followed by a smaller quake hours later in the state. There were no reports of any injuries or damages from either temblor.Geophysicist Randy Baldwin at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., said the larger quake at 2:14 a.m. CST was centered 4.3 miles southwest of Langston and prompted several dozen reports from residents who felt the ground shake. But he told The Associated Press by phone that no area resident had reported feeling the 2.5 magnitude quake centered near Jones, recorded at 5:34 a.m.
Baldwin said Oklahoma has sporadically recorded several minor quakes in recent months but those are without any discernible pattern.

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) explained
If you learned about the OSI Model and encapsulation / decapsulation you know that when two computers on the LAN want to communicate with each other the following will happen:
- An IP packet is created with a source and destination IP address carrying the data from an application.
- The IP packet will be encapsulated in an Ethernet frame with a source and destination MAC address.
The sending computer will of course know its source MAC address but how does it know the destination MAC address? That's where ARP comes into play. Let me show you an example:
In the picture above we have two computers, computer A and computer B and you can see their IP addresses and their MAC addresses.
We are sitting behind computer A, open up a command prompt and type:
C:UsersComputerA>ping 192.168.1.2 Pinging 192.168.1.2 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=57 Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=57 Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=57 Reply from 192.168.1.2: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=57 Ping statistics for 192.168.1.2: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 14ms, Maximum = 17ms, Average = 15ms
You know about the OSI-model and also know we have to go through all the layers.
Ping uses the ICMP protocol and IP uses the network layer (layer 3). Our IP packet will have a source IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a destination IP address of 192.168.1.2. Next step will be to put our IP packet in an Ethernet frame where we set our source MAC address AAA and destination MAC address BBB.
Now wait a second…how does computer A know about the MAC address of computer B? We know the IP address because we typed it but there is no way for computer A to know the MAC address of computer B. There is another protocol we have that will solve this problem for us, it's called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). Let me show you how it works:
C:UsersComputerA>arp -a
Interface: 192.168.1.1 --- 0xb
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.1.2 00-0c-29-63-af-d0 dynamic
192.168.1 .255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
18.104.22.168 01-00-5e-00-00-16 static
18.104.22.168 01-00-5e-00-00-fc static
18.104.22.168 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa static
255.255.255.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
In the example above you see an example of an ARP table on a Computer A. As you can see there is only one entry, this computer has learned that the IP address 192.168.1.2 has been mapped to the MAC address 00:0C:29:63:AF:D0.
Let's take a more detailed look at ARP and how it functions:
In this example we have two computers and you can see their IP address and MAC address. We are sitting behind computer A and we want to send a ping to computer B. The ARP table is empty so we have no clue what the MAC address of computer B is. The first thing that will happen is that computer A will send an ARP Request. This message basically says "Who has 192.168.1.2 and what is your MAC address?" Since we don't know the MAC address we will use the broadcast MAC address for the destination (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). This message will reach all computers in the network.
Computer B will reply with a message ARP Reply and is basically saying "that's me! And this is my MAC address". Computer A can now add the MAC address to its ARP table and start forwarding data towards computer B.
If you want to see this in action you can look at it in Wireshark:
Above you see the ARP request for Computer A that is looking for the IP address of Computer B. The source MAC address is the MAC address of computer A, the destination MAC address is "Broadcast" so it will be flooded on the network.
The second packet is the ARP reply. Computer B will send its MAC address to Computer A. Here's a detailed look:

Beacon Satellite Symposium
The 2016 Beacon Satellite Symposium will be held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) at Trieste, Italy, from 27 June to 1 July 2016.
Click here to go to the web site for the Symposium.
We are pleased to announce that the 2016 Beacon Satellite Symposium will be held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy on June 27 – July 1, 2016. Dr. Sandro Radicella and Dr. Bruno Nava have graciously offered to be the local hosts this symposium.
This meeting will provide a unique opportunity for ionospheric scientists from all over the world to meet and collaborate on the ionospheric effects on radio propagation. This meeting is primarily sponsored by the Beacon Satellite Group of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) Commission G. The Beacon Satellite Group is interdisciplinary, servicing science, research, application and engineering interests. These interests include all aspects of satellite signals observed on the ground and by receivers on-board satellites.
The Beacon Satellite Studies Group was originally formed in 1972, with the first Symposium at Graz, Austria. Symposia have continued to meet at two to four year intervals with meetings held at various worldwide locations. From the beginning, the two main areas of interest in Beacon Satellite Studies have been Ionospheric Electron Content and Scintillation. With more recent developments in ionospheric tomography, occultation techniques, assimilation models, distributed arrays of ionospheric measurements, IHY and IPY activities and satellite based navigation and communication systems; these studies have gained new momentum and perspectives.
We invite you to consider attending this distinctive symposium. Details on the abstract submittal process together with all the other organizational details will soon be listed on the Beacon Satellite web site at: http://t-ict4d.ictp.it/beacon2016. At this time, The abstract deadline has been extended to 1 March 2016. Please be sure to check our web site for further announcements.
It is our intent to waive the registration fee and to assist travel costs for a limited number of students and attendees from developing countries. The total level of assistance will depend on sponsorship funding. Information on applications for assistance will also be available soon on our web site.
We sincerely hope to see you in Italy for the 19th International Beacon Satellite Symposium.
Yours sincerely,
Patricia Doherty, Chair, Beacon Satellite Studies Working Group, URSI Commission G

I hadn't seen "The Mighty" Quinn Eudy in 25 years.
Spearman wasn't where I expected to find him.
Toward the end of track season, I drove to Spearman to interview two athletes. There, I talked to girls coach Kenny Eudy. I told him I knew a coach named Eudy during my Big Spring sports writing days.
"Quinn?" he asked.
"He's my dad. He lives here. I can call and get him to come over,'' Kenny said.
A few minutes later, one of my favorite coaches was in the (field) house.
Quinn Eudy and I were in Big Spring during The Final Days. Big Spring in the early 1980s was getting battered in most sports in the legendary 5A district that included the two Abilene, two Midland and two Odessa schools as well as San Angelo Central. It was especially tough sledding in football.
In first game of the 1975 season, Big Spring defeated Andrews, 14-6. It wasn't until the first game of the 1980 season that the Steers again beat a Texas team (Snyder, 14-13). The only wins the five seasons in between came against Hobbs, N.M.
Big Spring was 0-10 in 1978.
In the mid-1980s, Big Spring dropped to Class 4A.
That event was met with mixed emotions. Sadness that the 5A era in the most famous football district in Texas - the Little Southwest Conference - was over. Relief that Big Spring perhaps could compete with the schools more its size.
When I arrived in 1982, Big Spring still was trying to bounce back from the 1977 closing of Webb Air Force Base, which dented both the population and community spirit.
The Steers, under first-year coach Quinn Eudy, went 4-6 in football that season. And the crowds went wild.
It easily could've been 6-4.
Big Spring was ahead of Midland Lee 7-0 before a fresh-legged sophomore broke a long run with two minutes left, then scored the two-point conversion to rally the Rebels.
The season ended with a 15-14 loss to Central.
The Steers were good on defense, with a linebacker named George Bancroft named defensive player of the year. That was some kind of honor for Big Spring.
At the meeting where the all-district team was picked, I suggested that Quinn Eudy be named coach of the year. John Wilkins, Permian's coach at the time, said that honor normally went to the coach of the district champion.
Yeah, but Permian was supposed to win and Big Spring wasn't.
It was the least I could do for a man who encouraged a team facing the big odds.
The next year, Big Spring was 3-7. That included a 15-8 loss to Abilene High and a 38-33 defeat to Midland High. And a stunning 14-11 win against Cooper.
A two-year record of 7-13 wasn't something to brag about, but Big Spring played with fire under Quinn Eudy, who cared for his players.
"Greg, I'd do anything for these kids to win," he once told me after a game.
I remembered that comment the second time I was asked to speak at a pep really.
I brought a square-shaped white box, on which I had written in big letters "COCONUT CREME."
I told the student body what Eudy had told me, glancing again and again at the box. They were getting the hint.
But the one time I failed to eye the pie, Quinn opened the box and removed my shaving creme creation. As I turned to get the prop, my face met the pie. I was wearing a menthol mask.
The student body roared. I was wiping shaving creme out of my ear for a week.
"Sorry," he told me, between laughs.
He coached two more years at Big Spring before moving west to the Petroplex. I lost track of Quinn after I got out of sports writing.
He looked good. I would have recognized him immediately if he had entered the room unannounced. He knew I was in the area due to my newspaper bylines but hadn't called the office, for some reason.
He's a proud grandfather and has lived near family in recent years. I bet he still could coach an improbable win or two out of a bunch of teenagers.
Now and then, your workday takes a pleasant turn. I left Spearman with a smile, pleased with my interviews and for seeing a friend whom I admire.
And still owe.
Next time, I'm taking a shaving cream pie.

Name: Leia Holford
Age: 18

FIDM Major: Merchandise Marketing
FIDM Campus and Start Date: Orange County, Summer 2016
Admissions Advisor: Susan Pope
How did your advisor help with the process? To be completely honest, I was so nervous when I first visited FIDM because I wanted to make a really good impression. Susan made the entire process, easy and fun. She was very informative on FIDM, its degrees, the expectations, and study requirements, along with determining what degree was right for me. Susan showed me the facility and worked closely with me on the admission process. She has been an incredible help and support for me.
Tell us a bit about yourself. I have always had an interest in fashion, as it is a huge part of today's culture. It is expressed through everyday life and what inspires fashion-conscious people. I love to read about fashion, and watch runway shows and red carpet events. I also love visiting the shops with friends and checking out all the latest trends. I also love playing different sports and snow skiing. My other interests include volunteering, as I love giving a helping hand to others. I have also been involved in "creative crew," which is a support team for a musical theatre production, including set design and fabrication.
What are your proudest accomplishments so far? My proudest accomplishment so far would have to be getting accepted into FIDM. This was a dream of mine and to be accepted when I haven't graduated from high school is amazing for me.
What made FIDM right for you? From the day I started researching colleges, I knew that FIDM was the one. I just thought it was incredible with what it had to offer especially being very specific to my chosen major. I found that FIDM also has a vast variety of resources that will assist in the learning process. Another element is the job opportunities and internships available. While the education side is pivotal, having experience in the workforce itself is important. I had various options of where I could go to college and I decided to choose the USA, as I believe this is the best fit for a degree in this industry. I have visited Southern California multiple times and have a great attraction to the area.
Describe your entrance project. For my entrance project, I had to come up with five different outfits, for five different occasions. Coming from Australia, I wanted to highlight the lifestyles as I am inspired by Australia's sparkling beaches, mountains, and untouched vastness, which are a considerable distance from the rest of the world to maintain its unique identity. The store's clothing items are very versatile as you can be sitting on a beach and within an hour you can be in a trendy restaurant in the city. I wanted my store to capture this spirit with clothing that people can buy that is easy to wear and able to transform into something more casual or upmarket. I included bright colours with whimsical detail, while not disregarding streamlined essential standout shades.
What are your career goals? A future career goal would have to be to own my own clothing store, or work as a buyer or stylist.
What do you expect to learn at FIDM? I expect to learn the ins and outs of fashion first hand. I have no doubt that FIDM will teach me the essentials and give me experience in the fashion industry, providing me with numerous opportunities and resources in such a dynamic and evolving industry.

A Carmi police officer and two others suffered injuries in a melee on Stewart Street around 7:36 p.m. Saturday.
A Carmi Police Department incident report said Jeremy D. Pretzch, 39, Carmi, was accompanied by two friends and went to the Stewart Street residence of his girlfriend, 34-year-old Kristal S. Horton, to pick her up so the four of them could go out to eat.
Pretzch, Horton and the friends alleged that when Pretzch knocked at the door he was attacked by Timothy J. McWhirter, 29, Carmi.
The report said McWhirter had also previously battered Horton and was highly intoxicated. When officers arrived they found Pretzch bleeding from some cuts he had suffered in the altercation with McWhirter. The officers told McWhirter he was under arrest and he began resisting the officers' efforts to place him in handcuffs.
One officer suffered a cut finger and the nameplate on his uniform was ripped from the shirt.
McWhirter was jailed on numerous charges, including resisting a police officer, aggravated battery, domestic battery, criminal trespass and battery pending the setting of bail.

From the author of the Agatha Raisin television series..."DEATH OF A KINGFISHER: A Hamish Macbeth MysteryWhen Scotland is hit by the recession, Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices that the Highland people are forced to come up with inventive ways to lure tourists to their sleepy towns. The quaint village of Braikie doesn't have much to offer, other than a place of rare beauty called Buchan's Wood, which was bequeathed to the town. The savvy local tourist director renames the woods "The Fairy Glen," and has brochures printed with a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher rising from a pond on the cover. It isn't long before coach tours begin to arrive. But just as the town's luck starts to turn, a kingfisher is found hanging from a branch in the woods with a noose around its neck. As a wave of vandalism threatens to ruin Braikie forever, the town turns to Hamish Macbeth. And when violence strikes again, the lawman's investigation quickly turns from animal cruelty to murder.
About the Author
M.C. Beaton lives in the Cotswolds with her husband. In addition to the Hamish Macbeth series, she writes the Agatha Raisin mystery series.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 91
Director: Michael Raven
Company: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Nick Jacobs, Arik Alyse, Arianna Alyse, Kirsten Price, Cassie Courtland, Tommy Gunn, Carmen Hart, Christian (I) (TS-friendly performer), Eric Masterson
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Westerns never go out of style, do they? Especially not when the cowgirls get naked and fuck their fellas.
Carmen Hart and gal-pals are cruising the local honky-tonk – "bar," to you northerners – looking for her soulmate, though she admits she's "kissed a few frogs" (and b.j.'d, in this case, Christian) along the way – and imagined a backroom tryst (doggie, reverse cowgirl) with Tommy Gunn.
Carmen thinks she may have found The One in former schoolmate Eric Masterson, but it's Kirsten Price who gets him ... in his van, with b.j., spoon and doggie. So Carmen gets drunk and dirty-dances for her barmates, and next morning, sure enough, someone comes along to share her lemonade (don't ask) – though since she's daydreaming b.j., finger-fucking, mish and doggie (with a facial finish) with Eric, we really aren't sure until the end.
All in all, this plot-lite drama is beautifully shot, and all the gals are attractive. Too bad it doesn't generate the requisite heat for a higher rating.
Retailing: Hottie Carmen Hart's the selling point here.

"We left Dunedin, quit our jobs - and then I got pregnant! We
were going to make these fly-fishing films, play, go
travelling a lot. But then I thought 'Oh! I will have to
spent more time around Albert Town.' So we have been making
films a little more slowly," Ms Ackley said.
Now their daughter Jessie is 4 years old and the couple have
finished five films.
Their first, Once in a Blue Moon, was released in 2009 and
went on to win various awards.
Their fifth, Itu's Bones, will premier on Cook Island TV this
The film has been accepted to feature in the Blue Ocean Film
Festival in Monterey and has reached the final round of
The couple have also been invited to enter the film in the
prestigious Raindance Film Festival in the UK.
Ms Ackley (47) is a marine biologist and worked for 19 years
for Natural History NZ in Dunedin as a camerawoman, assistant
producer and scriptwriter.
Mr McNeil (45) has a background in information technology,
worked in sales and marketing for TVNZ and is a "very, very
keen" fly fisherman who writes about and teaches the sport.
It seemed a natural thing to pool their talents and create
their own film company, On The Fly Productions.
Mr McNeil and close friend Earl Kingi, an award-winning
Dunedin cameraman, had already started talking about making
fly-fishing films more than eight years ago.
They had noticed a boom in the outdoor film industry,
particularly with the advent of snow-sports films, and after
watching a lot of fly-fishing DVDs, they decided they could
do better.
The back story of how Itu's Bones came to be is a long one.
Mr McNeil and Mr Kingi decided to take "their girls" on a
holiday to the Cook Islands several years ago, but it nearly
ended in tears for the men because they could not catch a
single bonefish on the fly, while the locals were easily
netting them for food.
The bonefishing industry became a subject of conservation
debate in the Cook Islands and, after following the story for
a few years, Mr McNeil - a certified master casting
instructor with the US Federation of Fly Fishing - returned
with Mr Kingi and they taught the star of Itu's Bones, expert
net fisherman Itu Davey (30), to fly fish.
The Ministry of Marine Resources in the Cook Islands has now
created a 700ha bonefish reserve at Aitutaki and Mr Davey has
made such a successful transition from net fisherman to
fly-casting catch-and-release tourist operator that he now
owns two boats and employs four people, and his children have
a vision for their future.
Mr McNeil and Ms Ackley are proud of their documentary, which
was primarily filmed by Mr Kingi, and the positive impact it
has had for Aitutaki people.
Mr McNeil was also in awe of Mr Davey, who he described as
very talented and knowledgeable about bonefish behaviour.
The project was self-funded and would not have been possible
without the support of the ministry and local businesses,
they said.
"We always thought this would be our philanthropic film, to
give back. It really was a serendipitous thing," Mr McNeil
The couple's next projects include launching a tackle company
later this year and making more fly-fishing instruction DVDs
for the US market.
Then Ms Ackley wants to make a "seminal film on trout

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've never used the stepper, but it seems to me that its users can expect a function call to trigger a step.

I don't know how i can categorize that and still mantain a good category structure, or if using taxonomies is a choice or not. Or maybe tags... i'm kinda lost.
If it counts, i'm extending the Starkers theme.
Thank you.
PS: Sorry if i've posted in the wrong forum.
