by Stephen King, George Guidall (Reader)
Work details
The Dark Tower by Stephen King (2004)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I struggled with whether this deserved four or five stars or not. The ending is bittersweet – after all, isn't it about the ending since the journey is over? – so why not mention it upfront? The series is one epic, long, torturous journey. Rarely have I read a quest type novel, and this is certainly the longest series I've experienced. No matter how complicated King incorporated a blend of genres, (fantasy, science fiction, mystery, even a small amount of romance), it still remains ultimately a seek and find quest.
As said, the ending is bittersweet and makes one a bit angry but it also makes sense. I think there is definite hope when the horn is raised next. Being careful not to leak spoilers here, hopefully those who've read the books know what I'm talking about.
I didn't expect all hearts and roses – it's King, for one thing, and the man has the tendency to hammer brutality into his words. This isn't a happy ever after story and was never promised or meant to be one, but damn, depressing stuff. I cry at the drop of a hat when it comes to books anyway, and this one made me positively weep.
Characters got to shine to finish off the tale. Mordred fascinated me, although I could have done without the stomach issues (ew). He's a villain who stands out as tragic, truly evil, and twisted. Despite gripping villains, showdown scenes kind of sucked. Randall Flagg is especially a letdown. Also King is back into the books, literally, and it feels a little off this time. Maybe part of this is a catharsis from the accident and finishing the series so quickly as a result.
King saturates the pages with grim tones and shattering loss. The price of reward is expensive. The ending, as I've said, actually makes sense and is an ironic filled touch. I don't like the very end wrap up for some of the characters though as it feels unreal and forced.
When the journey ends Roland is a changed man, nothing else would make sense. If he has changed enough is an answer up to the reader.
The end of it! a surprise!
The series is my preferred work from S King.
The Dark Tower series coming to a close is both a relief and depressing. The entire arc of the series jumps around in such haphazard fashion that I never really got connected with the quest to the Dark Tower. During this book, I actually felt the excitement return that was lost in the previous books, due to the fact it was more plot driven and coming to a close. I really liked the end, as it is was a reminder that it is all about the journey and not the destination. What I am going to miss are the characters. Stephen King does a great job of making unique, but believable characters that you both love and adore. Mainly due to the characters, amazing prose, the sporadic weirdness, and the incredible attention to detail, I really enjoyed this series.
Beginning where book six left off, Jake Chambers and Father Callahan battle the evil infestation within the Dixie Pig, a vampire lounge in New York City featuring roasted human flesh and doors to other worlds; Callahan sacrifices himself so Jake can survive. In the other world, in Fedic, Mia, her body now physically separated from Susannah Dean, gives birth to Mordred Deschain, the biological son of Roland Deschain and Susannah. The Crimson King is also a "co-father" of this prophetic child, so it is not surprising when "baby" Mordred's first act is to shapeshift into a spider-creature and feast on his birth-mother. Susannah grabs a gun, wounds but fails to kill Mordred, eliminates other agents of the Crimson King, and escapes to meet up with Jake. Aging at an accelerated rate, Mordred later stalks Roland and the other gunslingers throughout this adventure, shifting from human to spider as the need arises, seething with an instinctive rage toward Roland, his "white daddy".
In Maine, Roland and Eddie recruit John Cullum, and then make their way back to Fedic, where the ka-tet is now reunited. Walter (alias Randall Flagg) has dreams of grandeur in which he plans to slay Mordred and use the birthmark on Mordred's heel to gain access to the Tower, but he is easily slain by the infant when Mordred sees through his lies.
Roland and his ka-tet travel to Thunderclap, then to the nearby Devar-Toi, to stop a group of psychics known as Breakers who use their telepathic abilities to break away at the beams that support the Tower. Ted Brautigan and Dinky Earnshaw assist the gunslingers with information and weapons, and reunite Roland with his old friend Sheemie Ruiz from Mejis. The Gunslingers free the Breakers from their captors, but Eddie is mortally wounded in the battle and dies a short while later. Roland and Jake pause to mourn and then jump to Maine of 1999 along with Oy in order to save the life of Stephen King (who is a secondary character in the book). The ka-tet come to believe that the success of their quest depends on King's surviving to write about it through the story.
Jake pushes King out of the way of a speeding van, but is killed in the process. Roland, heartbroken with the loss of the person he considers his true son, buries Jake and returns to Susannah in Fedic with Oy, where they depart and travel for weeks across freezing badlands toward the Tower.
On the way they find Patrick Danville, a young man imprisoned by a someone who calls himself Joe Collins but is really a psychic vampire named Dandelo. Roland and Susannah are alerted to the danger by Stephen King, who drops clues directly into the book, enabling them to defeat the vampire. Patrick is freed and soon his special talent becomes evident: his drawings and paintings have the strange tendency to become reality. He draws a magic door for Susannah; once it appears, she says goodbye to Roland and crosses over to another world. Mordred, who easily manipulated and killed Walter, finally reaches and attacks Roland. Oy viciously defends his dinh, providing Roland the extra seconds needed to exterminate the were-spider. Unfortunately, Oy is impaled on a tree branch and dies. Roland continues on to his ultimate goal and reaches the Dark Tower, only to find it occupied by the Crimson King. They face off for a few hours, till Roland uses Patrick's special abilities to draw a picture of the Crimson King and then erase it, thus wiping him out of existence. Roland gains entry into the Tower while Patrick turns back home. The last scene is that of Roland crying out the names of his loved ones and fallen comrades as he had vowed to do. The door of the Dark Tower closes shut as Patrick watches from a distance.
The story then shifts to Susannah coming through the magic door in an alternate 1980s New York where Gary Hart is President. Susannah throws away Roland's gun (no longer functioning on this side of the door), rejecting the life of a gunslinger, and starts a new life with alternate versions of Eddie and Jake, who are brothers with the last name of Toren in this world. It is also implied that an alternate version of Oy, a dog with a long neck whose barks sometimes sound like words, will also join them in this world.
At this point, Stephen King inserts an "Afterword" which warns readers to close the book at this point, consider the story finished with a happy ending, and not venture inside the Tower with Roland. For those who do not heed the warning, the story resumes with Roland climbing to the top of the Dark Tower. He encounters various rooms with siguls or signs of his past life. When he reaches the top of the Tower, he finds a door marked "ROLAND." and to his horror, he realizes he has reached the Tower countless times before. As well as saving the multiverse, Roland must also save himself, something he never considered important. The sins that Roland committed in order to get to the Tower (both physical and spiritual),damn him to repeat the past until he learns that it is not the most important thing in all existence. He is sucked through the door only to be teleported back in time to the Mohaine desert, with no memories of what had just occurred, ending the series where it began in the first line of book one: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." The only difference is that Roland now possesses the Horn of Eld, gifted back to him for partially realizing the value of love and life (such as not seeing people as tools to be expended on his quest) on his previous pilgrimage to the Tower. With the Horn, it is now possible (but still not certain) for Roland to finally end his quest once and for all. And so, Roland sets out to catch the Man in Black once again.
I finished! Started it in high school (80's) and picked it back up in earnest after 9/11 (not sure why but I did). I liked it. My favorite was Book 2 "The Drawing of the Three". Have to admit I didn't plan to read the 'end' but then read the author's note and then had to finish it (was too curious what was in the Tower). Was surprised, but it all makes sense. To anyone who is just starting the journey my only comment would be - just enjoy the ride and don't try to figure it out.
N 1970, when he was 22, Stephen King wrote a sentence he liked: ''The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.'' It's an innocent sentence -- pulpy and suggestive -- but it grew to become a monster. As the first line in the ''Dark Tower'' series, it begins a story King intended to be the longest popular novel in history. With the publication of ''The Dark Tower VII,'' the series has topped the 4,000-page mark and, mercifully, reached its conclusion.
King's "The Dark Tower" is the culmination of a saga that spans 3,000 pages, seven primary volumes, at least 15 ancillary ones and more than three decades of effort on the part of its author.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743254562, Paperback)At one point in this final book of the Dark Tower series, the character Stephen King (added to the plot in Song of Susannah) looks back at the preceding pages and says "when this last book is published, the readers are going to be just wild." And he's not kidding.
After a journey through seven books and over 20 years, King's Constant Readers finally have the conclusion they've been both eagerly awaiting and silently dreading. The tension in the Dark Tower series has built steadily from the beginning and, like in the best of King's novels, explodes into a violent, heart-tugging climax as Roland and his ka-tet finally near their goal. The body count in The Dark Tower is high. The gunslingers come out shooting and face a host of enemies, including low men, mutants, vampires, Roland's hideous quasi-offspring Mordred, and the fearsome Crimson King himself. King pushes the gross-out factor at times--Roland's lesson on tanning (no, not sun tanning) is brutal--but the magic of the series remains strong and readers will feel the pull of the Tower as strongly as ever as the story draws to a close. During this sentimental journey, King ties up loose ends left hanging from the 15 non-series novels and stories that are deeply entwined in the fabric of Mid-World through characters like Randall Flagg (The Stand and others) or Father Callahan ('Salem's Lot). When it finally arrives, the long awaited conclusion will leave King's myriad fans satisfied but wishing there were still more to come.
In King's memoir On Writing, he tells of an old woman who wrote him after reading the early books in the Dark Tower series. She was dying, she said, and didn't expect to see the end of Roland's quest. Could King tell her? Does he reach the Tower? Does he save it? Sadly, King said he did not know himself, that the story was creating itself as it went along. Wherever that woman is now (the clearing at the end of the path, perhaps?), let's hope she has a copy of The Dark Tower. Surely she would agree it's been worth the wait. --Benjamin Reese

If I use GWT's Development Mode with Eclipse, changes that I make in the IDE are immediately reflected in my browser upon refresh. However, I can't seem to get the same result when using the maven plugin to build. Is this possible?
Here's what I've tried:
- Running gwt:run, making a change and saving it in Eclipse, refreshing the browser.
- Same as above but clicked the 'restart server' button on the GWT Development Mode console.
- Telling Eclipse that my project is a GWT project and configuring a Web Application, but it fails to list any Entry Point Modules for me to choose from.
- 'webAppCreator -templates maven com.xx.WebApp' - creates just a pom, no project (?).
The only option seems to be: stop the console, gwt:compile, gwt:run. This cycle takes minutes each time..
Any ideas on how to achieve this, or if it's even possible? Not being able to do this is really a show stopper for us adopting GWT, since we can't scrap maven.
TIA, Roy

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

We are still mourning the loss of innocent LGBT lives on June 12. From joy and safety to tragedy and heartbreak all in a matter of minutes. We mourn the loss of life and send our condolences to the friends and families of those who died in Orlando, and wish the survivors a full recovery. Now those headlines have been replaced by more mass shootings, this time in Dallas; and of more killings of Black males just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We grieve all these deaths and mourn what the world has lost with each life taken too soon.
LGBT asylum seekers have responded in many different ways. Some could not leave their homes for days after Orlando, saying, "If America, land of same-sex marriage, openly LGBT politicians, and huge Pride events, could suffer such violence, is any place safe for us?"
Others say, "We faced this every day at home, so we can survive this, too." For many LGBT persons in dangerous countries, from Algeria to Zambia, every day is a personal "Orlando." Every day they live in fear of exposure, persecution, and death, for being LGBT.
The Task Force remains dedicated to supporting the emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of LGBT asylum seekers throughout this difficult time.
Your support makes it possible. Thank you.
Dear caring friend of LGBT Asylum Seekers,
Global events are forcing more asylum seekers to flee unbearable conditions in their home countries.
Many governments have stepped up persecution of their LGBTQ citizens. These past few months, the Task Force has had more urgent requests for help than ever before.
Thanks to YOU, we have been able to say "Yes" to many who knock on our door,including Kamelliah and Ian.
From Fear to Freedom: Kamelliah's story
My name is Kamelliah. My passion for creative writing, photography, and psychology are as much a part of me, as being a 20 year old ex-Muslim lesbian. I was raised in Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality, and autonomy for women, are forbidden by law…

"Phoning for Godot": Ian's story
Ian escaped Uganda after his boyfriend and father were murdered. He arrived knowing no one, but with the name, address, and phone number of a man "who will help you if you need it" in his pocket. Ian waited for hours in the cold and dark, calling and calling...

Your special "New beginnings" gift today will help another asylum seeker like Kamelliah or Ian.
Did You Know...There are laws against homosexuality in
In 72 countries, you could be imprisoned if you are part of the LGBT community?
In 7 of those countries, the punishment is the death penalty?
In some of those countries "corrective rape" is common and sometimes committed by government officials?
Fortunately, There is Help
The LGBT Asylum Support Task Force is a group of dedicated volunteers in Central Massachusetts who provide support those for who are seeking political asylum in the U.S. based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Since 2007, the Task Force has helped more than 100 individuals.
Asylum seekers are vulnerable and traumatized individuals who have fled to the U.S. in fear of being killed or harmed in their countries of origin due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. The violence resulting from homophobia and anti-homosexuality laws in many countries in the world is rampant.
Because most asylum seekers are not permitted to work during their legal process, they do not have the means to support themselves. They often arrive in the U.S. with nothing but the clothes on their backs having used all of their resources getting here. Moreover, they remain particularly isolated because frequently they cannot turn to people from their own country in the U.S. for assistance or support as it is their fellow countrymen from whom they are fleeing.
The volunteers of LGBT Asylum Support Task Force contribute to the financial, housing, social, and spiritual needs of asylum seekers in many ways:
recruiting volunteers to host asylum seekers to live in their homes,
donating clothing, toiletries, and household items,
driving them to appointments, and
providing a safe and supportive social environment.
This is often the first time they have been able to publicly express their sexual orientation and it is incredibly empowering. For many, this is the first time they have been able to witness same sex couples and families living normal everyday lives and it gives them great hope for their futures.

By Mrs Michelle Kennedy (Drum)October 27, 2011
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- Soldiers, Family Members and retirees made their voices heard Oct. 17-19 during the Army Family Action Plan Conference at Fort Drum.
During the past year, members of the 10th Mountain Division (LI) and Fort Drum community have submitted quality-of-life issues to AFAP. The conference allowed delegates representing different post demographics to discuss and solve quality-of-life issues. Issues that can not be solved locally will be forwarded to the U.S. Army Forces Command. Top issues at the FORSCOM conference may be forwarded to the Department of the Army conference.
The Army asks for input to tell leaders what they can do better and how they can change things for Soldiers, Families and retirees, Col. Noel Nicolle, Fort Drum garrison commander, said before the conference. Local and Army leaders are looking for ways to make processes more efficient, and they want to know if something can be done better.
"AFAP is an incredible opportunity … to influence things at the Army level," he added.
About 50 delegates were assigned to help solve issues in one of four work groups: medical and dental; force support, Family support; and benefits and entitlements. Fort Drum teens and youths, as well as single Soldiers, met on separate occasions to discuss issues specific to them.
Subject-matter experts from across the installation were on hand to provide assistance and guidance to work groups.
"(Delegates discuss) issues that deal with quality-of-life issues for Soldiers and Families, not only at Fort Drum, but also the entire Army," said Jane Bresko, Fort Drum Army Volunteer Corps program manager and conference facilitator.
In the 28 years that AFAP has been around, nearly 700 issues have been submitted to the Department of the Army; 495 of those issues have been resolved, with 124 resulting in legislative changes, 176 causing Department of Defense or DA regulation changes, and 195 leading to improvements in programs, services and funding. The remaining 136 were found to be unattainable.
"Currently, there are only 51 active issues," she said. "If it's a program or service, an AFAP issue can improve it; if it's a policy or regulation, an AFAP issue can change it; if it's a law, AFAP issues can amend it; and if there's a low-cost creative solution, an AFAP issue should definitely be pursued to get those (problems) resolved."
Bresko added that some of the best-known issues that have come from past AFAP conferences are the Post-9/11 GI Bill, spousal preference for employment and the authorization for shipment of spouses' professional equipment, books and papers, also known as "pro gear."
Issues discussed during the conference included:
Teens / youths
There is a lack of information for new teens / youths whose Family is stationed at Fort Drum. The team recommends the post provide an information and resource guide to teens / youths.
Family Members do not have an accessible point of contact when faced with discrimination. The team recommends that Garrison Policy Memorandum 10-09 Equal Opportunity be updated to include a single point of contact for Family Members.
Single Soldiers
The Army Physical Readiness Training program doesn't meet Soldiers' current needs in combat. The team recommends that APRT include more well-rounded physical training to better prepare Soldiers.
Single Soldiers living in the barracks are only allowed to have visitors between 5 p.m. and midnight. The group recommends that the current Fort Drum policy be amended to allow for weekend visitor passes for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Soldiers lose money when they miss meals at the dining facilities. The team recommends that the Army implement a meal card that is connected to Soldiers' basic allowance for subsistence funds.
Benefits and entitlements
Soldiers, regardless of how many Family Members they have, are given a set weight allowance for their household goods. The delegates recommend that the Joint Federal Travel Regulation base the allowance on the number of Family Members.
The Post Exchange doesn't have any point-of-sale keypads that are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which calls for a 36-inch-high counter. The team recommends that the PX offer at least one ADA-compliant counter.
Currently, meal deductions are automatically being deducted when Soldiers inprocess at Clark Hall. The group recommends that meal deductions be performed at the unit level and to remove the responsibility from Clark Hall.
Family support
Military Family Life Consultants are only authorized in schools with at least 300 military children in each building, which includes only two school districts. The group recommends that MFLCs be accessible to military children in all 19 school districts in the North Country.
The shortage of military housing allows for only 31.3 percent of Fort Drum Families to live on post. The delegates recommend that 50 percent should be able to live on post.
Military Families who have physical limitations that prevent them from performing seasonal maintenance (i.e. snow removal, lawn care) are required to pay out of pocket to hire local services. The delegates recommend the Army create a program to provide assistance, with medical approval.
Force support
The Warrior Leader Course only provides 40 of the 250 tasks junior-enlisted leaders are required to know. The team recommends that junior-enlisted leader training be standardized to provide training in all skills.
Current basic training standards do not prepare recruits to meet Army standards upon arriving at their units. The group recommends the Army raise basic training standards; reinstate leadership authority to enforce standards through discipline, evaluation and discharge; and implement standard discharge procedures for failure to meet standards.
Army Reserve and National Guard Soldiers do not receive preretirement education. The delegates recommend that reserve-component Soldiers be required to attend preretirement briefings and receive education opportunities about benefits and entitlements.
Medical and dental
Some dental offices charge fees to transfer records to another provider. The group recommends that United Concordia, the Army's dental insurance plan, mandate that providers release and accept records from other providers at no cost.
There are no post-traumatic stress disorder support groups for military Families. The team recommends the Army provide clinical and nonclinical support groups for Families and create a military-sponsored PTSD Facebook page.
Delegates voted on their top three issues: raising basic training standards, PTSD support groups for Family Members and a lack of post housing.
Brig. Gen. Harry E. Miller, acting senior commander at Fort Drum, commended the volunteers for dedicating their time to making Fort Drum a better place and not just focusing on local issues, but also Army-level issues during the out briefing Oct. 19.
"By and large, these are some great issues," he said. "Kudos on you all for looking at the big picture."
Bill Cox, a 24-year Army veteran and budget analyst for the Directorate of Resource Management, served as a first-time delegate at the conference. As part of Fort Drum's LEADER (Leader Enhancement and Developmental Education Requirements) program, Cox had an opportunity to work in the benefits and entitlements group.
"One of the biggest things I got out of AFAP is you really get to see and hear the pulse of not only the Soldiers, but the spouses, (Family Members), retirees and the civilians," he said. "You can be a part of the problem or a part of the solution, and … this is a great way to be a part of the solution."
Mary Elam, who has been a military spouse for 21 years, also was in the benefits and entitlements group.
Elam said serving in the benefits and entitlements offered an excellent opportunity to see how
government funding affects everyone.
"Right now, I see how it affects my Family," she said. "When you're in a work group that's diverse, … we get to see how (issues) affect everyone."
Elam said served as a facilitator last year, but decided to volunteer to be a delegate this year.
"I wanted to see how the whole process works, and I loved it," she said. "You have to think about how (issues) are going to affect everyone -- specialists, privates, NCOs, senior leadership or officers -- and you try to come up with the best solution to make sure everyone can live with (the decision)."

Critical Rating: A 1/2

Not quite a comp, this senseless scenario appears to be stitched together from unused scenes left dangling from half a dozen other features, making zero story sense. Overall, the sex is strictly automatic, and 'star" Sterling disappears right after Oscar fucks her in the ass in the opening segment.
Is it worth waiting around for a few lackluster anal scenes that follow? Not in our dreams. Wake up and walk away from this nightmare.

...all the amazing friends I have in my life that have helped me through a year of change, pain, joy and growth, my fans for continuing to believe in me, even when my faith in myself wears thin, the incredible endorsements I have that support me as an indie artist, and the friendships I have made within those working relationships that will last a lifetime, the strength I've gained in these past 2 years to speak truth and learn to let go of things that were damaging me, even though it was the hardest decision I have ever made in my life, my mother, sister and step dad for their forgiveness and love, even though we did not speak for 7+ years due to other relationships in my life that prevented me from having clear thoughts, and to the music artists and songwriters that inspire me and emotional heal me when I am in doubt and the only place I can turn to is a song or a voice.
These things have truly shaped the woman I'm becoming and I am very grateful for all of it. Many of you have noticed that this year has been much different as far as the way I speak to yall, the things I've shared, and it's because I've turned a new chapter. Along with that, it has opened my eyes to things that no longer suit me and new opportunities that I, at one point in my life, was blinded to. As we finish "Outlaw In Love", and struggle to get it released, it has also made me realize I don't want to solely be a recording and performing artist. It has been much more heartache than fulfillment and there is no doubt my soul aches for something different.
I have decided to go to college to get a degree in Music Therapy. I will continue to make music, and perform, especially for charity or friends, but my focus will be on making a difference in people's lives through music. Some of you have written me and expressed how my music has helped you through a difficult time, and that is exactly why I became a songwriter/musician in the first place. The fact is though, it is expensive and difficult to release music, at least for me as I don't know how to engineer and record my own records. Being a Music Therapist gives me a chance to make a career out of what I know, and that is music, but more importantly, it gives me the opportunity to help people through a channel that I am passionate about.
Before doing this though, we have an album to release! Some of you may have seen via Facebook that we are struggling with finishing funds to release the album. We need about $2,000 more to finish recording and get the CDs printed. I am honestly not sure how to achieve this. Would running a 2nd Indiegogo campaign be the answer? A GoFundMe page? I want to be able to give yall something for the contributions you give, and I'm just stumped how to do it. if any of you have suggestions, or comments, please write them back to me as I love hearing from you and want to know what YOU want.
The album is amazing. The songs are some of my favorite that I have ever written and the musicianship is incredible. I cannot thank Chris Hoffman, Erik Ralston and Ian Charlie enough for all the time they have put in to share their talent with me. Also, my engineer Francisco Rodriguez for getting creative with me and making this all happen on a literal shoestring. We will be doing a private CD release in April, which will be filmed for everyone around the world to see, but we have to raise the money to get "Outlaw In Love" done and released.
Send me your ideas, and in the meantime, in honor of the holiday and "Black Friday", all merch on my website is 50% off. Get some swag for cheap and know that it will all be going towards getting the album finished. Go to www.thisisGR.com/shop to get some Christmas gifts, or something for yourself. Any way you can help is much appreciated!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and I look forward to sharing my new adventures with you, and getting this album finished so I can give you new music.
Happy Halloween yall! I'm Scarecrow from Batman this year! Who are you gonna be? Whoever, and whatever it is, have tons of fun this weekend, and don't drink and drive! It's only fun when the blood and guts or fake, you know what I mean?
I'm competing in the Singer Songwriter 5 competition presented by Guitar Center! It is a chance for unknown singer/songwriters to win lots of cool industry prizes, including:

Hi yall!
GR here! Hope you're enjoying summer! It's been an awesome year, for a lot of people, and it just keeps getting better.
Last weekend, I was thrown into a crazy, fun and exciting project that turned out being more amazing than I could have imagined. A couple months ago, my dear friend Amy Campione, and director Zhandra Reyes, approached me about writing the music for their 48 Hour Film Project, which is when filmmakers build teams of creatives to write, film and edit a short film in 48 hours. One of the many challenges is you don't know your genre or the 3 elements you have to incorporate into your script, until the contest begins! If they for some reason drew the genre "Musical", they wanted me to handle the musical part of it. I agreed, of course, and 6 weeks went by...
Last Friday night, I got a call at 7:30pm that our team "One More for the Road" had drawn the genre "Musical". From that moment through 7:30pm Sunday night, it was a whirlwind of creativity, drive, passion and fun. I feel very blessed to have been a part of it.
How To: The Musical will be screening this Wednesday night for all of you to come see and experience!! Also, if you attend, this will help us win the AUDIENCE AWARD, so please support if you're free!
Wednesday, August 19th - 7pm "How To: The Musical" Premiere - Screening Group A Regal Cinemas at LA LIVE - Downtown Los Angeles, CA Here is the ticket link, select SCREENING GROUP A: ab-aut.ticketbud.com/losangeles48hfpfilmfest
I want to thank Zhandra Reyes and Amy Campione for asking me to be a part of it, my amazing friend and recording partner Francisco Rodriguez for teaming up with me to compose and produce, also Grant R. Gimpel for composing, an incredible script writing team, Kevin Carragher and Esther J. Han, AMAZING cast, loved working with our stars Amy Campione, Jackson Davis, Aida Lembo and Blaise Godbe Lipman in the studio to record their vocals! Thank you to everyone, and congratulations. We made an awesome movie!
In other GR news, besides the first single from "Outlaw In Love" dropping super soon, I'll be performing at Street Food Cinema on Sept. 26th for Ghostbusters!! Check out www.streetfoodcinema.com for all the details, and tickets!
I'm also fundraising for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through Sept. 26th to end Childhood Cancer. This charity meant a lot to my Dad, and he supported it since its opening in 1962. In turn, it has always meant a lot to me, and I love having the opportunity to raise funds for them annually for their Walk Run. To donate, visit walkrun.stjude.org/glitterrose! Thanks so much!
Hope to see all of you who are in LA this Wednesday at Regal Cinemas at LA LIVE for the premiere of How To: The Musical! Thanks for all the support.

Hi yall!
Glitter here. "Outlaw In Love" is well under way, and sounding amazing. Unfortunately, the recording process is taking a little longer than expected due to funding but what's amazing about art is when enough people are passionate about the piece, they all work together to make it complete. I am very fortunate to have mixing engineer Francisco Rodriguez on my team as well as my incredible band Chris Hoffman, Erik Ralston and Rob K who are being creative and giving up their time to do what it takes to get this album done. I also want to thank each and every one of you who contributed to the Indiegogo Campaign because without it, there would be no recording at all, so you are making this a reality!

Lee has been my attorney for 10 years. He accompanied me into Hollywood Records office when I was 19 years old, and has been by my side and keeping me protected ever since. He is an amazing guy and his practice is very successful. Now, he dives into his directorial debut with "Goodbye Blue Sky", an international sci-fi feature film that will be filmed in 2015! I am a cast member of this film, and will be contributing music. Before filming the feature, there will be a short film prequel filmed in January 2015 titled "Red Skies At Night".

Occupy L.A. Survey: Highly Educated White Males Are Most Supportive of Movement
Who loves Occupy? White people love Occupy!
The classic conservative sneer about Occupy Wall Street (and its L.A. faction) is that the protester base is primarily white hipsters/hippies too lazy to get a job.
And a new survey out of Loyola Marymount University doesn't exactly contradict the stereotype. Based on input from 1,605 Los Angeles residents, the survey finds that liberal, highly educated white males are most likely to ...
... "strongly agree" with Occupy L.A.'s "values."
When measuring support by race, blacks weren't far behind. But Asians were far less likely to approve of the movement. (If we had to generalize, we'd say it might be that succeed-at-all-costs attitude that so often sets entitled millennials below the curve at their University of California campuses. Sigh.)
Here are the breakdowns we found most interesting:

Sun., Aug. 7, 6:30pm
LA Galaxy vs. Colorado Rapids
Sat., Aug. 13, 7:30pm
Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners
TicketsMon., Aug. 15, 7:05pm
Do we detect some guilt coming from the entertainment-industry 1-percenters up in the Hollywood Hills?
Kind of oddly, the Occupy question is included in a survey billed by LMU as the "20th Anniversary of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots Survey." (Just one droplet, of course, in a freaking tidal wave of soul-searching that has come of the riots' 20th birthday.)
Apparently researchers are drawing a connection between the two movements. And, although the riots were much more fiery and sudden, with a more clear-cut instigator, there is perhaps some legitimacy to that: Both were ultimately in reaction to deep-seated discontent with the growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots.
There are also similarities in the bemused reaction of the upper middle class. Aka, "I Survived the L.A. Riots" T-shirts and Occupy Wall Street underwear.

Nothing I can find to complain about in regards to our computers and internet connection.
UMD has so many computer labs around campus! A lot of work is done online so it is necessary to either bring your own computer or use theirs.
Its a huge campus so not everyone gets access to a computer but it does its job
I bring my own at all times but when I do use the schools own it seems fairly okay, some needs to be updated like in the math building but otherwise it is fine.
There are labs across campus, but they can get pretty full around midterms and finals.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Not surprisingly, like at most schools, computers and the Internet are big at Maryland. "Always be connected" is a lifestyle that many Terps stick with, primarily because of the convenience and the productivity that comes with having a computer. The labs on campus offer students the opportunity to briefly check email or Facebook, or just surf the Internet. While the labs provide the technology and space to work on a research paper or a project, most students suggest having a computer in the comfort of your own room.
If it is affordable, get your own computer. Furthermore, get a laptop if you can, as laptops are more efficient for taking class notes by transcribing information directly to a computer. In addition, a laptop is portable and useful for group projects and papers, instead of having to wait for classes to let out so you can use the comptuer lab.

We have a flea and roach problem that all of a sudden developed and I am looking for a natural solution. I don't want my baby crawling around in a bunch of chemicals on the floor. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Natural pest control help!
Comments (8)
And one maybe for sugar ants. They come and go here with the season. With a 22 month old around I don't want chemicals around either! Thanks in advance.
SAHM to Emerson, born Sept. 2010. WAHM with NYR Organic and loving both every minute!https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/kymm/area/shop-online/
I would spray and go away for the day let chemicals air out, I'd rather that than bugs biting or crawling on child. Usually spray is along edges of walls not where LO specifically crawls but put down plastic on open floors perhaps.
Here's a couple charts I've come across recently:
(the second one has a button part way down to print. I hung it on my fridge.)

www.southwesterncedaroil.com has some great all natural insect control products to get rid of fleas and roaches. I like the indoor kit they have. You can see it on the first page of their site
we have used Doterra natural essential oils such as cypress wood (roaches hate that), catnip oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and lemongrass as well as just vinegar (roaches hate that too), we mix the oils in warm water with a few drops of dish liquid (we have seventh generation) and it works for roaches, ants, spiders, and other insects, we spary inside and outside with it. I have even made roach cotton balls and put them on the top shelf in our cabinets or drawers to keep them away. Just put cypress wood, or catnip on cottonballs and put them in drawers or cabinets, and wash down your cabinets with vinegar and water. we live in FL and it works great. Just remember that natural ways of cleaning sometimes don't last as long and have to be done more often, which is fine with me knowing that we aren't inhaling dangerous chemicals. I am fine to have to spray outside again if a heavy rain comes. :)

isnt diatomaceous earth considered natural? animals can eat it and humans if they get food grade. it gets rid of tons of pests. its a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.

To the people complaining about tip burning out-you must realize that this is 180watt soldering gun not a typical 30 watt you might have laying around. It heats up FAST-literally in seconds, only pull the trigger when solder needs to be melted. Even comes with built-in light!I bought some aftermarket copper tips so that when factory ones fail I'll have better ones to replace them. Comes with everything needed to start soldering, even a nice blow molded case to keep everything organized.

No problem soldering 1/4 copper tubing and like sized objects. Great for wiring, and wife has used it on beading/jewelery items.However, there are no replacement tips for these. I have attempted to use 10/12 gauge copper wire, bent properly and inserted into tip posts with varing results -- if replacement tips were offered I could recommend this gun without reservations. However, now you have been warned.

National Museum of Pakistan
Front View, National Museum, Karachi.
|Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road, Karachi, Pakistan.
|Art museum, Islamic Art / Quran Museum, Historic site
The National Museum of Pakistan (Urdu: قومی عجائب گھر پاکِستان ) is located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
The National Museum of Pakistan was established in Frere Hall on 17 April 1950, replacing the defunct Victoria Museum. Frere Hall itself was built in 1865 as a tribute to Sir Bartle Frere, a Commissioner of Sind during the 19th century. Once the Museum was inaugurated then the Government of Pakistan deemed it wise to constitute an Advisory Council in 1950 with a primary duty to counsel the Museum on the issues of enriching its collection through new acquisitions and purchase of antiquities and works of Arts. The Museum was shifted to the present premises (located in Burns Garden, Dr. Zia-ud-din Ahmed Road) in 1970.
The basic objective of establishing National Museum was to collect, preserve, study, and exhibit the records of the cultural history of Pakistan and to promote a learned insight into the personality of its people.
In 1970 there were only four galleries in the Museum. However, at present there are a total of 11 Galleries in the Museum including an exquisite "Quran Gallery". As a matter of fact National Museum has more than 300 copies of the Quran (all are exactly the same), out of which around 52 rare manuscripts are on display in "Quran Gallery". The Museum also contains an important collection of items relating to Pakistan's Cultural heritage. Some other galleries display Indus Civilization artifacts, Gandhara Civilization Sculptures, Islamic Art, Miniature Paintings, Ancient Coins and Manuscripts documenting Pakistan's Political History. There is also an interesting Ethnological Gallery with life size statues of different ethnicities living in the four provinces of Pakistan.
The Museum has a collection of 58,000 old coins (some dating from 74 Al-Hijra), and hundreds of well-preserved sculptures. Some 70,000 publications, books and other reading material of the Archeology and Museums Department were also shifted to the National Museum so that general public could see them. Every year National Museum holds around a dozen exhibitions on National Days and other occasions.
For the preservation of the collection, a conservation laboratory is also a part of the Museum. The Museum premises also has an auditorium with 250 seating capacity.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Wally," and I have been friends for several years, and a couple for nearly two.
He recently brought up the subject of marriage, and we agreed that we are likely altar-bound.
Only one thing gives me pause. A few months ago, Wally got plastered and had a fling with a female friend. He regretted it immediately and said it was what made him realize I am "The One." (He is getting help for his drinking now.)

The hurdles they face during their trip and how they overcome everything is 'Paiya'." Elaborating more, he says, "the film is all about the protagonist meeting his love and hate on his journey. The action packed entertainer is being made in a different way with highways and travel as the backdrop." The filmmaker is happy with Karthi and Tamannah's performance and is all praises for their commitment and involvement. "Both are professionals.

WASHINGTON — Taxpayers preparing to file their 2012 returns can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
The alternative minimum tax or AMT has been patched — permanently — and several tax credits and deductions that technically expired at the end of 2011 were extended as part of the fiscal cliff legislation that Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed into law in January.
