HARRISBURG - Gov.-elect Tom Corbett drew on top names in the state's Republican establishment as he began assembling his transition team Wednesday, saying they would help him shape his administration as well as draft a plan for reforming state government by his first week in office.
Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Corbett announced the front lines of the team, many of them people who worked as fund-raisers and strategists for his campaign. Some were also key players in the administration and campaigns of the last Republican elected governor, Tom Ridge.
Corbett, who is to be sworn in Jan. 18, reiterated that his top priority will be to present a balanced budget and resolve the state's projected $4 billion deficit.

Calm down, preacher. To discuss the possible suspension length for a player who has broken the NFL rules is not the same thing as "reveling in his calamity." And, let me point out that if he misses games, Marshawn Lynch will not have missed them because of an injury, or what someone like you might call an "act of god." He will have missed them because of decisions HE MADE of his OWN FREE WILL, something I think you believe your god bestowed on him. Almost everyone struggles with crisis in this life, but most of us aren't lucky enough to be so physically gifted and talented that we make it into the NFL and get multi-million dollar contracts. So, while I feel very bad for players who miss time because of injury no matter who they play for, I'm not going to be shedding any big wet tears for a guy like Lynch because all he had to do was decide not to drink booze or having drank the booze, decide to call a cab or in his case, a limousine to cart his ass home.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm tired of holier than thou bible-thumpers coming up on me like I'm not living up to "their god's" standards of excellence.

If you feel differently, as your post clearly states, then do yo thang. Like I stated, the boy has a problem. Now, possibly you or I would do just absolutely everything right if in his shoes. And then again, maybe not. I know that I have some friggin' demons and believe me, 2 or 3 million dollars could be like Miracle-Gro to them. So think about what you would want IF a couple million bills put a swoll on your issues. Would you want people discussing how long you're going to be in detention or would you want someone possibly praying for you?

Even my daughter knows this and arranges for a designated driver or makes sure she has cab fare if she's going to drink.
A pro-athlete should have the same sense, if he doesn't he's got a problem - of either severe lapse in judgement or an issue of substance abuse. I truly hope it's just the former and that he's learned his lesson. I want nothing more than a healthy Marshawn on the field in full beast-mode for every game this season. But, I'll admit, I'm more than a little worried ... not only about how much time he may potentially miss but, of his long term status.
Hopefully, I'm just being a worry-wort

Especially when you're Marshawn Lynch and any limo or cab driver in greater Seattle would fall all over himself for the opportunity to drive you home. Come on, Lynch. Jump in the back, mellow out and throw a Benjamin at the driver on your way out the door when he opens it for you. Do the right thing.

Let's not forget, he's in his 20's.... I can't count on both hands and feet how many times I made poor decisions in my twenties..
Hopefully he learned his lesson from this and will think things out in the future...

The Great Expectations By Deborah Prum • Jan 12, 2015 "Expectations lead to tension, " said Susan McCulley, my dance instructor. Then she told us to look at ourselves in the mirrored wall. She asked, "Does what you see meet your expectations?" Nope. Not so much. I was expecting to appear a little taller. I stood near the front of the room and looked at the reflections of my classmates. Clearly, they all towered over me. Letter to Centrifuge Man By Linda Crowe • Jan 7, 2015 The U.S. military relies heavily on the skills of its fighter pilots -- an elite group of men and women with a challenging skill set. Nelson County writer Linda Crowe made that discovery while watching a YouTube video of her nephew at Marine Corps Flight School. Rapid climbing and descents can cause pilots to lose their vision or black out, but they can train in a kind of centrifuge to avoid those fearful events. Crowe was amazed and impressed by a plucky instructor in the video and sent fan mail to the guy she calls Centrifuge Man. The Customs Forms: Objects of Gratitude By Lisa Tracy • Dec 17, 2014 I'm deep into recycling old papers one day when I come upon a small handful of very thin ones, all the same size, with "US Postal Service" printed on them. I know these papers. Customs forms, the documents I had to fill out whenever I sent my son Owen, a U.S. Marine, something in Afghanistan. At first I saved all my copies of the forms, in case he didn't get his boxes. What we'd do then, I had no idea. But I saved them. Pages« first ‹ previous … 4 5 6 7 … next › last »

Although images of women and children are frequent in the history of art, depictions of pregnancy are rare. In Hope, II a woman with a skull nestled into her gown lowers her head toward her swelling belly. Below, three women also bow their heads—in prayer or possibly mourning. The ornate decoration in Hope, II nearly overwhelms its surface. Klimt was committed to craftwork, and was among the many artists of his time who combined archaic traditions—here Byzantine gold leaf painting—with a modern psychological subject. Klimt lived and worked in turn-of-the-century Vienna, home to Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis; Klimt's exploration of formative drives like sex and death parallel Freud's explorations of the psyche.
A pregnant woman bows her head and closes her eyes, as if praying for the safety of her child. Peeping out from behind her stomach is a death's head, sign of the danger she faces. At her feet, three women with bowed heads raise their hands, presumably also in prayer—although their solemnity might also imply mourning, as if they foresaw the child's fate.
Why, then, the painting's title? Although Klimt himself called this work Vision, he had called an earlier, related painting of a pregnant woman Hope. By association with the earlier work, this one has become known as Hope, II. There is, however, a richness here to balance the women's gravity.
Klimt was among the many artists of his time who were inspired by sources not only within Europe but far beyond it. He lived in Vienna, a crossroads of East and West, and he drew on such sources as Byzantine art, Mycenean metalwork, Persian rugs and miniatures, the mosaics of the Ravenna churches, and Japanese screens. In this painting the woman's gold-patterned robe—drawn flat, as clothes are in Russian icons, although her skin is rounded and dimensional—has an extraordinary decorative beauty. Here, birth, death, and the sensuality of the living exist side by side suspended in equilibrium.

In her newest book and presentation titled,
MEANT TO BE: A TRUE STORY OF MIGHT, MIRACLES AND TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT, inspirational speaker and author Roslyn Franken reveals the unforgettable true story of her parents, John and Sonja Franken - two unlikely survivors of World War II.
While John fights for his life as a POW in Japan and survives the Nagasaki atomic bomb, Sonja endures the horrors of Auschwitz. She faces death in the gas chamber three times and survives.
After the war, fate brings them together to find enduring love and rebuild their lives in the most extraordinary ways despite the tragedies of their pasts.
Their story is one of triumph over tragedy filled with messages of positivity and perseverance, faith and fortitude, daring and determination, and hope and humility.
When diagnosed with cancer at 29, Roslyn turns to her parents' remarkable experiences, beliefs and positive attitudes as inspiration in her own fight to beat cancer and become a long-term survivor.
...The answers to these questions and more are what drive the captivating story behind Roslyn's newest book and inspirational multi-media stage presentation, MEANT TO BE.
"It was one of the most profound presentations and stories
we have had the pleasure of at our meetings in the past 36 years
and the first to receive a standing ovation."
~ Robert Nemchin, Vice President, Capital Business Association
In her first book titled, THE A LIST: 9 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR HEALTHY EATING AND POSITIVE LIVING,
and presentation based on the book titled LIGHTEN
UP FOR GOOD, Roslyn Franken takes her readers and audiences through the remarkable weight loss journey that changed her body and changed her life...
Ten years after surviving cancer, age 39, at her heaviest weight and concerned for her health, Roslyn decided to fight back once again - only this time to win her battles with food, weight and lifestyle challenges, once and for all!
...The answers to these questions and more drive the stories and life-changing strategies found in Roslyn's inspirational self-help book and healthy living presentation, THE A LIST: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living.
"We truly enjoyed our day with Roslyn. The
'Lighten Up for Good' session was very interactive, informative and refreshingly fun and humorous. Roslyn was inspiring and empowering and offered excellent reflection on self-care triggers and recognition. Everyone fully enjoyed themselves but also understood the full meaning of the session.

Skill Level Intermediate
Let's take a look at some more special effects that we use to Minute Monsterpieces. Shot I'm going to use is Shot 02, which is basically where we introduce Dr. Frankenstein and his assistant Fritz. And there is a couple of nice little effects in here. One is this bubbling beaker here, you can see the bubbles kind of and the sparks kind of fly out of it. And then we have another little effect here towards the end, let me go over here, and that's where Dr. Frankenstein kind of zips out and we kind of wanted to get a nice little dry brush effect on that.
So let's go ahead and start with the bubbles and we will show you how to do that. I'm going to open a project file. Let's go start from the Desktop/Exercise Files/ Monsterpiece/After Effects/02_00A and here is our shot. Now in this one I have kind of turned off all the bubbles. As you can see here, all the animation is there. In fact this animation was done pretty much the same way we did the dig animation with- the rigs were very similar.
We have basically Puppet tools in the arms, but the arms themselves are separate. But let's go ahead and get on to the bubbles, actually the bubbles and the beaker itself are in a separate layer here, right there is a layer for the bubbles. And let's go ahead here and I have actually a bunch of little bubbles here, but let's just focus on one set of these, so I can show you how one is animated in cycle and then you can just repeat that for the rest of the bubbles.
So let's start by just making this a simple bubble cycle here. Now when it bubbles, what it does is it comes out small, grows and then it kind of dissipates. So essentially what we have to do here is just animate a little bit of Scale, Position and so on and Opacity as well. So this will go ahead and start at 0 Opacity and we are just going to go ahead and put that bubble right there in the mouth of that beaker. Then over the course of say two frames or so, we are going to go ahead and reveal that. But we don't want to reveal that at 100% Scale, so I'm going to scale this down a little bit.
Scale it down to maybe about 50% and then just bring that out there. Essentially it comes up. I'm going to zoom in here, so I have little bit more space. We are going to go probably 6 to 8 frames, so I'm just going to go about 6 frames out, bring it all the way up. Somewhere like that and what we want to do is as it comes up to this point, we want to grow the bubble, so essentially the bubble gets bigger.
As it comes up. Over the course of about 3 frames, we basically fade out the bubble to 0 and shrink it down as we do that and also bring it up just a little bit higher right there. OK? But right here, I want this bubble to be at a 100%, so I want to make sure that Opacity is set, there we go. Now I have the animation, so I can just duplicate that layer and just modify the keyframes.
So if I want, and this is basically how I did it, was I just hit Ctrl+C or Apple+C and V for paste and now I have got two layers with that same bubble on it, but obviously this second layer I want the keyframes to be offset a little bit. And I want the bubble to go in a different place, so what I'm going to do here is on layer Bubble 4, I'm just going to go ahead and move this second bubble kind of out of the way and also move this keyframe.
Essentially, I have got this kind of going in two different paths and now that goes that way, that goes that way. And I just can duplicate those layers as much as I want and once I have them duplicated then what I can do is I can start cycling and so I just select all the keys in one of these layers and I can paste. Copy and paste, one of my favorite tools. So again I can just - and essentially what happens is as it comes down, you can also see as it animates back down, the Opacity is 0 so you don't really see it. So essentially that cycles.
The sparks are pretty much animated the same way except we add in a little bit of Rotation, so let's go ahead and do in one of the sparks here. We scale it down so that it kind of fits the opening of that beaker and we are going to set some keys for Position, Scale and Rotation as well as Opacity. And then I'm going to animate the Opacity down and then over the course of two frames, I'm going to go ahead and make it visible and kind of bring it up out of the mouth of that beaker.
And then go about 6 frames out and then animate it up and animate it to somewhere around 100%. You don't have to do a 100%. The other thing I like to do is I like to rotate it so as it comes up, because this has this pointy edge, it's nice to actually rotate that as it comes up. And then you go 1, 2, about 3 frames out and you continue the rotation, but then you fade it out to 0.
And for these actually I like to scale them up and again right here I need a key to bring it up to 100%. So if you bring it up over 100%, it'll look like it's kind of sparking, it's kind of exploding, and you can also animate it down if you want. It doesn't really matter. And then again, what we can do is we can go few frames out and cycle it. Just by copying and pasting those keyframes.
Now at this point it has to be at 0 and also we have to make sure that a Position key here- If you notice here I have got this Position key, it's kind of hanging open, so I need to make sure I close that out. So I'm just going to copy and paste that keyframe and I'm going to do the same on the cycle, because what you have to do is when you start cycling, you got to make sure that you have got your end position locked down. So that way you don't have one thing cycling at a different rate than another. And so now once we kind of have that cycle there, you can see how now the bubbles are starting to come out and what we did for the actual animation let's go ahead and open- I'm not going to save this.
But I'm actually going to open Shot02_00B and let's go to the bubble cycle here. There we go. So I have got a couple of these different sparks here and essentially we're just bringing them up and doing the same thing. And so then when we bring them into the shot itself, so there is your bubble cycle. So let's go ahead and work on the next shot Motion Blur Dry Brush effect.

Accounting Faculty and PhD Graduates Highly Ranked in Contributions to the Accounting Literature
A new paper authored by Jean L. Heck of Saint Joseph's University has named several current and former members of the Fisher School faculty and UF graduates as significant contributors to the accounting literature over the past half-century (1959-2008). Heck's data indicates that 10,542 unique authors published in the core 25 accounting journals over this period.
Joel Demski, Frederick E. Fisher Eminent Scholar in Accounting, was noted as the most prolific author in the accounting literature of the past half-century. Demski was the number one author in two analyses: one of authors published in five leading accounting journals, and a second of authors published in the 25 core accounting journals examined. Two other current Fisher School faculty members appear in the top ranked authors in the leading five journals: W. Robert Knechel, Ernst & Young Professor, at number 391 and Stephen Asare, KPMG Term Professor, at #529. Several former faculty and UF graduates also appear on the list of prolific contributors to the accounting literature. Heck calls the authors identified in the study "truly remarkable." (2/09)
Jenny Tucker Quoted in UK's Guardian
Professor Tucker was quoted in December in the UK's Guardian about her take on GE's decision to scrap quarterly forecasts. While some business leaders say companies make too many short-term decisions to ensure they don't fall short of their own forecasts, other experts caution investors that such moves could signal that companies have something to hide. According to Tucker, "There are two theories about stopping guidance. One side says that by providing quarterly earnings guidance, managers are distracted from their long-term goals and stopping guidance allows managers to refocus. The other side of the story is...that when performance is poor, they don't want to talk about it." Tucker, who co-authored a paper last year called "To Guide or Not to Guide?," found that despite what they may say publicly, many companies stop guidance following poor operating performance, and typically have a weaker record of meeting or beating analyst expectations than those that continue giving guidance. Tucker warned that companies that stop quarterly guidance should avoid becoming less transparent. "What we have seen from the financial crisis is that investors wanted to know more and see more disclosures," Tucker said. (1/09)

The two keys to complex elemental alchemy are distilation, and the use of electrical arks to transfer the properties of one element to another, or even mix them together. For instance, the age old theory for making gold is distilling certain elements with certain properties, then mixing the distilled elemental byproducts together to get the desired element, this one being gold, so you take something like sulphur, distill it, and you get a yellow substance, mix that with distilled lead, stick the mixed substance in the distilary and distill it again, Sulificate it, let it cool and bam youve got gold(or an elaborate fake). Now for the electrical ark theory, lets say you take a carbon based substance like a red rose, align the flower with a simpiler substance, lets say milk, you pass the electrical ark through the calcium molecules in the milk, which then passes through the pigment forming cells in the flower, turning the red rose into a white one(because of the calcium mixed into the pigment cells)
But yes, everyday mixtures, like delicious chocolate milk, are still technicaly alchemy because your changing the elemental make up of the milk.

^^^then I say your science teacher is wrong.(hehehe) If you can take two objects (such as two chunks of metal) and press them together with enough force, the molecules will eventually start to blend with each other....thus creating a new type of metal. (I remember reading that back in chem...I think it takes a long time under stander temp and pressure...but i believe it can be done more quickly if you manipulte the state of the metals or the area around them).
Okay, I'm not sure on this one... but enough force to mix two molecules? We're talking black hole stuff here. Unless you're just talking about regular reactions, and electon transfer... well um... yeah, you don't really create a new type of metal then. Just a new compound.
And furthermore, if you take any element, and mess around with the electrons in its valence shell, won't you get a new element?
Nope. You'd get an ion of that element. You'd need to change the number of protons (and good luck doing that, outside of radioactive decay).

I've been doing alot of reading on the Holy Grail...the only reason I bring that up is in the book I'm currently reading, they mention that sometimes the Holy Grail is refered to as a philosopher's stone. This is the exerpt from the book:
But what is the Grail exactly, and what is it supposed to do? Not all the authors are as vauge as Wolfram when he says 'There was a thing that was called the Grail, the crown of all earthly wishes fair fullness that ne'er shall fail.' But his is certainly no exception to the wreathes of mists which engulf the object. And just as there is no single account of the quest, there is no single description of the mysterious Grail itself. It variously appears as a dish, a cauldron, a chalice, the cup of the Last Supper, the emerald which fell from Lucifer's crown as he plummeted to hell, a philosopher's stone and a beatific vision.
The quest is a varied as the vessel sought. It is seen as a search for the Ulitmate Source.....or simply the avenging of a blood feud. The Grail can not really be seperated from the undertaking of the quest for it. Both Grail and quest, the goal and the process towards the goal, embody the ultimate human fulfillment, whatever form the author wishes to take.
Im only asking this here because this seems to be a thread full of intelligent people. Do you think that this is the basis of the hunt for the Philosopher's Stone? Do you think there's any connection? The more I think about it, I really think there just might be a connection, but then again, what are the odds that the creators of FMA knew about this?

Chemistry IS alchemy. You can turn lead into gold in Chemistry, but not like clapping your hands together and slam it down.
Chemistry still requires the law of equivalent trade. Like turning one substance into another. You can't just conjure up a bottle of acid out of nowhere right?
Well I never mind too much about science though. The last time we are talking about equivalent trade with my friend. HEHE

Humankind can not get anything without first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
That is Alchemy's first law of equlivant exchange.
In those days, we really believed that to be the worlds one and only truth.

Sure, Chemistry has a lot of laws that state that the amount of things stays the same. (E.g: Atoms, Energy, mass)
All of them together can form the "Ultimate Law of Alchemy": Equivalent Exchange.
In FMA there is said that our world is more of a Physic-world. So We'll always have to deal with the laws of Physics. Clapping our hands will never activate a reaction, 'cause it has nothing to do with Physics. -Stupid, if you say me-
Cool! I'm an Alchemist. That's a Dream come thrue.
Just call me the Spark-Dragon Alchemist XD

I took both physics and chemistry as well. Talk about hard! but one day in class when I was taking a nap I vaguely remember my chem. teacher say something about alchemy I would tell you more about it but I am on my break
. But I was very interesting and even kept me awake for the rest of the class.
But as Triss Hawkeye said it would be fun to do transmutation circles, it would make mixing chocolate and milk twice as fun

Ultimate Law of Alchemy - Equivalent Exchange......
This is not true to all conditions my friend.
Do you even know how is an element transmuted ?
Laws of physics and chemistry are all are inter-related.
Mass-Energy equation is an example from the physics side not the chemistry , but its used in chemistry more !

If you really think about it, chemistry was derived from alchemy, therfore chemistry really is a form of alchemy, just not in the way we think.
If you think about it, Equivalent Exhange (EE) really does agree with two of Newton's laws.
Newton states that the amount of energy in the universre always remains at a constant. In EE, to gain something, something of equal value must be given up, so the amount of energy remains the same.
Also, Newtons states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. EE refraizes this to say that for every gain there is an equal and opposite sacrifice.

Hmmm...interesting way to think about it. I guess it makes sense. Science just got more interesting for me!
Equivalent exchange is nothing miraculous. It happens every day in life. "To obtain, something of equal value must be given." Think about it, anything you do, you are giving something else up to do it. Apply this to anything and it makes sense in general.
Crazy...as I was typing this, I was thinking about how Economics even relates to Alchemy...curse you economic theory 315!

you are correct...i tried to make my sisters understand this, but they wont listen to me...
there were real life alchemists alright...

I personally won't. They will know who st Nicholas was and the true meaning of Christmas but they will know why we give gifts and who really buys them.
Will you tell them Santa is real?

Yes, and I'm also telling them that the elf on the shelf reports nice or naughty back to Santa. Also, Easter bunny drops off colored eggs and candy in baskets, and the tooth fairy leaves money for teeth. And I can make it rain by yelling out of the window of the car. (Turning on the wipers)
I enjoyed those things when I was a child, so they will too.
OP, just genuinely curious...do you plan on explaining to your children that other little kids believe that stuff, so don't spoil it by speaking the truth or are you just going to hope they don't spill the beans?

We'll probably try to tell them there is a Santa at first but honestly I'm a bad liar about acting like I believe in some imaginary figure.
Chillin' with my 11/11 cranio kid
got my Valentine Feb 6th 2013!
We always had "The Camel" growing up, so I think I'll be contrary and tell them about that instead. I won't be too fussed once they realize that one of the wise men's camels doesn't actually come strolling in, leave a hoof print in a jar of peanut butter, eat some hay from a shoe, and leave presents.
It doesn't help but confusing the issue, we also will be celebrating Hannukah. My father was jewish, my mother UU, so we did Hannukah (we'd always get candy) then directly after got presents from The Camel on Christmas.
ETA: Look up "The Smallest Camel" as a gift giving tradition. I'm pretty sure that's the origin of my family's Camel.
Unable to breastfeed, too lazy to circ.
I am actually very excited about Santa. I understand the reasoning of not doing it but part of the magic of Christmas is Santa's presents under the tree Christmas mourning. Or on Easter when you believe a big bunny left you gift. Part of being a kid is believing all that stuff. Makes things so much fun!
ETA: I plan on having multiple children and when they come to the realization I will DEFINITELY be explaining why you don't spoil things for others.

We will. He was a very special part of our family's Christmas traditions and I want to continue on with my children.
You think that true love is the only thing that can crush your heart; that will take your life & light it up or destroy it. Then you become a mom.

Legislators consider bill stemming from Aaron Doty murder
SEBRING - An Avon Park woman says she will continue fighting for legislation that makes people criminally responsible if they don't report a crime. Roxanne Judd presented the legislation proposal, which arises out of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Aaron Doty where a few partygoers did not report the crime, to local legislators during their annual delegation meeting. Doty was murdered on June 9, 2012, while attending a party. Authorities said two men picked a fight with him, which resulted in Doty ending up unconscious. While he was unconscious, his assailants transported him to the woods and burned him alive, authorities said. None of the more than a dozen partygoers reported what happened. Several members of Doty's family, including his parents, supported Judd during the legislative meeting.Legislators did not fully endorse the idea for immediate action this coming session. But they didn't reject it either. State Sen. Denise Grimsley, R-Sebring, suggested that moving ahead with such legislation should be done cautiously while criminal cases connected with the death of Aaron Doty remain unresolved. She and State Rep. Cary Pigman, R-Avon Park, said that they favored consulting with the state attorney's office on language for a possible bill. Grimsley asked about the status of those who attended the party, but did not report the crime. Judd said under the current law nothing can be done as far as charging them with a crime. Judd said she believes that needs to be changed. "I can't see them watching something happen like that and not doing anything and getting away with it," she said. Brenda Doty, the mother of Aaron Doty, said she supports the legislation. "People need to be held accountable," she said. Those who do not report crimes "should be just as culpable" as the person who committed the crime," Brenda Doty said. Pigman said he sees "a lot of merit' for the idea of holding such witnesses accountable for not reporting crimes. But there could be circumstances where a person would feel that reporting a crime would endanger their lives. "We have to respect that," he said. Pigman also suggested that in some circumstances people may have a certain amount of freedom not to be involved. That all has to be balanced when considering legislation, he said. Representatives of various programs and local government also appeared before the legislators. Highlands County Commissioner Don Elwell urged the legislators to approve legislation allowing for joint meetings of city councils, adequately fund efforts to control invasive aquatic plants, operations for libraries and to reduce unfunded mandates. Elwell also said the state should fund widening of U.S. 98 between U.S. 27 and Haywood Taylor Boulevard in Sebring. email@example.com (863) 386-5834

I was dragged to a baby shower today, don't need to tell any of you that this isn't a "guy" thing so the father to be set up a pseudo-game room in his garage. We drank some bruskies, played some 360, and played some poker, a very typical boys night out. Problem was I didn't know ANYONE there… It was as awkward as it could be. I was rather pissed @my GF, since we were there for 5 HOURS! She thought she'd make up for by getting me a 3ds. So we drove to the nearest place we could preorder(which was toysrus) and we did just that.
I laughed right after she bought it, because I told her " you got ripped off, I would have settled for sex!" she didn't find it as funny.
anyways planning on getting SSFIV:3D and Pokemon:Black version.
