I've always been one to stick with stock headsets that come with my consoles. I've relied on stock equipment for so long that I thought it'd be silly to own $250 headset, but with so much money invested in TVs, consoles, and gaming setups, why draw the line here.
The HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset from Kingston is easily the most comfortable headsets we've reviewed here on The Game Fanatics.
There are a staggeringly large number of accessories available for PC gamers but arguably none are as important as the keyboard and mouse combo. Sure there are many gamepads and controllers for sale, but when you get right down to it most of us prefer to have one hand on a mouse and the other hovering the keys that will spell our victory.
A few weeks ago, we brought you the story of Western Leaf's super-thin, super-fast Frenzy tablet. They were kind enough to send us a review unit to test out, so here's our review of the Frenzy 8Z tablet from Western Leaf.
If you're recording and producing music, digging into sound-design, mixing, DJ-ing, or just looking to make the sickest beats…eventually, you're going to need a good pair of studio monitors. Mixing on headphones and hi-fi speakers will only get you so far before you start pulling you're hair out from fatigue and frustration. So having a having a trusty set of neutral, transparent speakers is crucial.
Phablets, good God, are these really becoming a thing? That was my initial reaction to the awkwardly-oversized yet too-small-to-be-a-tablet smartphone, which, according to PC Magazine, have actually existed since 1993.
Here at The Game Fanatics we give a lot of coverage to the awesome video games that we are ever so passionate about, and sometimes we talk about the great artists and developers behind such games, but very seldom do we talk about the tools which these artists and developers use.

After a Fashion
Stephen eats out. You can't take him anywhere.
By Stephen MacMillan Moser, Fri., July 14, 2006
DEPLORABLE DINING At Nuevo Leon on East Sixth, one couple, who have apparently never heard of birth control, couldn't tell the difference between a restaurant and their own home. Their many children ran rampant, screaming like banshees, darting in and out and under tables while the parents ignored them just as though they were at home. And our lovely dinner with friends became a romper room on methamphetamine. I have three words for parents like these: Chuck E. Cheese's And then there's Pizza Hut I can't even begin to describe the indignities I've suffered at the hands of the staff at the Riverside location. After I had placed an order on the phone with a woman I'll unaffectionately call Mumbles (I later found out her real name means "hope" in a familiar foreign language a misnomer if there ever was one), things went from bad to worse. She shrieked at me for not understanding her poor enunciation and hung up. I called back and complained to the manager, who was very polite and apologetic, and placed my order. An hour and 20 minutes later, it arrived. Burned. I called again and spoke with a different manager, who was convinced I was pulling a scam to get more pizzas. I asked for credit, but she insisted on replacing the order, saying she was going to put a stop to "these shenanigans right now." When the second order arrived in a timelier fashion, I made sure to return the previous pizzas to prove to the manager that there was no duplicity going on here. And then I called the manager back to make sure she saw the evidence. Exasperated, she asked me what exactly what it was that I wanted. "Nothing," I told her, "except a little courtesy and good customer service." Lunch in the middle of the afternoon with my mother and sister at Opal Divine's Penn Field location was going swimmingly, until the very loud, piped-in radio station started playing death metal replete with screaming guitars and shrieking, earsplitting vocals. I can't imagine anyone over the age of 16 having a fine-dining experience to a soundtrack like that. This is exactly why I stopped going to a certain local chain of cafes several years ago. Really, I'm not the customer from hell, but I am clearly incorrect in thinking that most restaurants have an investment in making sure their customers keep returning.
THE WORLD AT LARGE A 62-year-old woman becomes England's oldest mother even though she had to leave the country to do it. She is decried as being selfish by most of the civilized world, since she will be 82 by the time her child is 20. The double standard here, of course, is that there are plenty of men running rampant well into dotage and sprinkling their baby batter, but no one blinks an eye. A report on www.huffingtonpost.com claims that when Dubya travels abroad, his feces and urine are collected to prevent any foreign power from examining them to determine what medications he's taking or whether he has any health weaknesses. Keep watching eBay and you might be able to examine the specimens yourself.
I HAVE VD No, not a sexually transmitted disease, silly! At long last, after years of waiting, I have the incredible new DVD of the greatest movie ever made Valley of the Dolls. As I've seen the movie 9,000,000 times, it wasn't the actual film I was waiting for it was all the delicious extras that come along with it. If you're a fan, prepare to die. Watch as we see Barbara Parkins' screen test for the role of Anne. Wait until you see Rona Jaffe's eye make-up during an interview (and don't miss Monique Van Vooren's eye make-up, which is so heavy that she can't open her eyes all the way). Wail as you are subjected to an endless documentary on Jacqueline Susann from the Sixties. And worship as you hear Tony Scotti sing the theme song. Faaabulous.

So Clairton's Tyler Boyd announced yesterday that he will play next season at Pitt. It's like Boyd and Pitt got engaged, but Boyd let it be known he still wants to go on a couple dates with a few other girls.
Here is the situation: Boyd, the Post-Gazette Player of the Year, announced on NBC television yesterday during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl that he will play for Pitt next season. He was surrounded by family, friends and coaches when he made the announcement. But later in the day Boyd said he still plans to visit Michigan State and Tennessee.
Strange? Most definitely. But nothing in recruiting should surprise anyone these days.
Last night, Boyd sounded convincing about the reasons he picked Pitt. But then a few moments later he was talking about still visiting Michigan State and Tennessee. It sure is a head scratcher, so I asked, "If you announced for Pitt, then why are you still visiting Michigan State and Tennessee?"
Boyd answered: "I'm committed to Pitt, but I just want to still do a little more with the recruiting."
Boyd played for the East team in the All-American Bowl in San Antonio and caught 1 pass for 4 yards. (the photo of Boyd is from practice and courtesy of the All-American Bowl). But he believed he proved himself in practices before the game was played because he earned a starting receiver job for the East.
Boyd said he hopes to play basketball for Clairton after taking a week or two off.
"I think I have turf toe right now," Boyd said.
Boyd was all-section in basketball last season.
Foster and the All-American Bowl
Central Valley receiver Robert Foster was the leading receiver for his team in the Under Armour national all-star game Friday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Foster had four receptions for 66 yards.
Offensive linemen Dorian Johnson of Belle Vernon and Pat Kugler of North Allegheny also played on the same team as Foster.
Another Luther for 1,000
Hampton junior basketball player Ryan Luther scored his 1,000th career point Friday. He is the third member of his family to score 1,000. The others are older brother Bill and older brother Jodie.
Amazingly, the Luthers could end up with four 1,000-point scorers. Collin Luther, Ryan's twin brother, might go over 1,000 next season.
I don't ever remember a family in the WPIAL having four 1,000-point scorers.

About the Book
"After more than a half century at the game, Bradbury still hasn't lost his masterful touch." — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"His stories and novels are part of the American language." — Washington Post
Fahrenheit 451. The Martian Chronicles. The Illustrated Man. Dandelion Wine. Something Wicked This Way Comes… these are just a few of the vast collection of master works by Ray Bradbury, one of the best-known and most beloved of American writers. We'll Always Have Paris, his new collection of stories gathered together for the first time, is a treasure trove of Bradbury gems—eerie and strange, nostalgic and bittersweet, searching and speculative… and a joyous celebration of the lifelong work of a literary legend.
In We'll Always Have Paris—a new collection of stories gathered together for the first time—the inimitable Ray Bradbury once again delights us with prose that soars and sings. He imagines great things and poignantly observes human foibles and frailties. He enchants us with the magic he mastered decades ago and still performs flawlessly. Whether he's exploring the myriad ways to be reborn, or the circumstances that can make any man a killer, or returning us to Mars, Bradbury opens the world to us and beckons us in. His tales will live forever—we will always have Bradbury.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"With this collection of 21 stories and a poem, Bradbury employs the humor, empathy, and quirky approach that have been the hallmarks of his career. . . . These accessible stories are quick to read but may linger long after the book is done. Recommended for all." — Library Journal on WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS

Best of 2015
On January 1, 2016, it seems like as good a day as any to reminisce about the best and worst parts of 2015. By which I mean, of course, the best bits of pop culture! What follows is a completely unscientific list of my favorite moments that I can recall right now. So, in no particular order, let's start: (more…)

Graham's Grumbles Awakens
It's been 32 years, but finally we have a new Star Wars movie! I saw it on the weekend and I'm going to see it again before this week is out, but I figured now would be as good a time as any to put my thoughts on paper. And I should warn you now, there will be spoilers. (more…)

Expanded Universes
For a long time, Star Wars was dead. There wasn't anything new for fans after Return of the Jedi until the Phantom Menace, unless you count a couple of Ewok movies or the cartoons. The only place the story actually continued was in the novels and the comic books. The same can now be said for Star Trek. But, are those stories worth the paper they're printed on? Are they little more than expensive fan fiction? I guess the answer to those questions is at least partly based on how you feel about fan fiction. (more…)

The High Midichlorian Count of Star Wars #1
I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan. Not huge, exactly. I mean, I haven't read many of the novels. I don't really know who Mara Jade is. I couldn't tell you what species Darth Maul is. But, if we're sticking to just the movies, I know my stuff. Another area of Star Wars lore that I'm pretty deficient in is the comic books. I'm sure some have been great over the years, but at this point they all seem to be kind of filler. (more…)

Oh, What a Movie…
Once again, I'm a little late with this post. Normally, I post on Tuesday, but I saw Avengers 2 again yesterday and as much as I'd like to write more about that delightful film I'm sure you'd rather read something new. Luckily, I saw something today that's much newer. Mad Max: Fury Road!
Let's start with the negative: It felt to me a touch, a smidge, a wee bit long.
The positive: Everything else. (more…)

San Diego Con Announcements
As I am sure you are all aware, this past weekend was San Diego Comic Con 2014. To all the people who were lucky enough to attend, I'd like to say on behalf of the rest of us "Screw you guys." This sentiment definitely includes the Co-Uberfriend in Chief. Unless he brings me something back. In which case, "Screw you guys except for the Co-Uberfriend in Chief who is a hero to us all."

Them crazy jumping twisty tricks in the air
When I was much younger, I used to think that Darth Maul doing a butterfly twist in Star Wars Episode 1 was the coolest thing in the world.

New Star Wars or Old?
The Beatles seem to be the only musicians that everyone likes. Everyone's heard of them and even if you hate everything about them you still grudgingly like Yellow Submarine. I think the closest equivalent to that in the movie world is Star Wars. Even if you haven't seen a full movie, you know who Darth Vader is. You know what the Force is. You probably hate Jar Jar Binks on principle.
While the preceding paragraph might be a bit of an exaggeration, it won't be for long. A couple of years ago now, Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise from Mr. George Lucas so it's about to become a whole lot more ubiquitous. They've announced that they eventually want to release 1 Star Wars movie a year. Maybe a Chewbacca movie. Maybe a Boba Fett movie. Maybe Jabba The Hutt's high school years. But the main focus is always going to be on the trilogy. Specifically, completing the trilogy of trilogies.
The first step was poaching Mr. J.J. Abrams from the Star Trek film series and giving him the director's hat for episode 7. Now, they have to work out a story. They've already fired one writer, and now Mr. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan (the writer of The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Arc) are working on a new script. There are tons of rumours floating around as to what this movie could be about, and who could be in it. In fact, they've all but confirmed that Luke, Han and Leia will be back. What they haven't confirmed is how big a part they will play.
The latest that I've heard is that they will be main characters. I can't think of a bigger mistake than that. Look, I love those actors. They brought to life a rip roaring adventure that has captured imaginations for decades. But, that adventure ended 30 years ago. Those people have lived extensively, and have changed a lot in appearance. The audience is going to see them on screen and have to mentally fill in those last thirty years.
Harrison Ford got his ear pierced at some point in that time. Am I going to think, 'Han must have had a midlife crisis at some point and decided to try to look cool.' Mark Hamill has spent much of the last three decades sitting behind a microphone doing voice over work. Will the audience assume that Luke gave up on being a Jedi to sit around and levitate Twinkies into his mouth? Carrie Fisher's drug and alcohol problems are pretty well documented- are we going to be wondering if the force Leia's talking about is cocaine?
I don't know about you, but I'm not terribly interested in the Skywalker's adventures in the senior's home. Maybe that makes me ageist, but I'd be surprised of Disney didn't also share my concerns. I think the Star Wars movies need to be about the next generation. Sure, a cameo here and there is fine, but starring roles? I think that's better left to the Zac Efron's of the world. (Disclaimer: This is not an endorsement of Zac Efron being in a Star Wars movie.)

The Dark Future Of Star Wars
In the last few months we have learned that there will be more Star Wars movies, and that the first one will be directed by Mr. J. J. Abrams. We know that these ones will take place after the original trilogy, and that it will be the first of many. I'm pretty sure Disney has said that they would like to put out at least one a year. That's all well and good, and totally within their rights to do. I'm not going to act surprised or disappointed that a huge corporation is going to try and milk as much money as they can out of one of the most lucrative franchises in the world. I do think, though, that these movies are going to do a disservice to the most loyal Star Wars fans.
Those fans are the ones who have eaten up everything and anything branded with the Star Wars logo over the past 35 years. They bought the comics, toys, novels, video games, and t-shirts. They have kept this franchise alive as much, if not more so, than George Lucas himself. They know the characters better than their creator.
If the prequel trilogy is any indication, everything that they know about the future of the Star Wars universe is going to be ignored and disregarded. For example, the creators who worked on the novels and comic books took Boba Fett, a bounty hunter who was in less than ten minutes of the original trilogy, and turned him into the biggest bad ass in the universe. They created an interesting origin for him, and made him an integral part of the continuing story. The prequel trilogy completely disregarded everything that had already been written about him and turned him into a lame clone baby.
Now, sure, there's definitely stuff in the expanded universe that might be best forgotten. For instance, Chewbacca getting crushed to death by a moon. But, there is also cool stuff like Grand Admiral Thrawn and the continuing adventures of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron that shouldn't just be swept away. If it is, that stuff just becomes expensive fan fiction.
What keeps me somewhat hopeful that all of that stuff doesn't get completely forgotten is Mr. Abrams himself. In taking over the Star Trek franchise, he wanted to do his own thing. His mandate was to take the most iconic characters and make them cool again. Thanks to time travel, he managed to do that without invalidating all of the spinoffs that came before. Maybe he can do something similar with Star Wars.
I'm not suggesting he do time travel again, all I'm asking is he acknowledge all of the established continuity even if it's just in passing. We know that the stars of the original trilogy will be popping up in some capacity, but maybe make them background characters or cameos. Let the expanded universe be their story, and have these movies be about someone new. If there are some renegade Imperials about, make one of them blue. When Luke Skywalker pops up, have him be married to a woman named Mara Jade. Little things like that could keep old fans happy while creating new content for the universe.
That's what I think, anyway. I'm sure Star Wars will do just fine whether they take my advice or not. But, the prequel trilogy has already chiseled away a lot of the hardcore fanbase, and I think this would be a good way to avoid alienating the rest.

Disney buys Lucasfilm?!
… and it plans to make new Star Wars movies every 2 to 3 years.
Here's what I think will happen. Sequels are rarely as good as the original when the original is unusually good. It's hard to hit a home run twice in a row. Films like Terminator 2 and Godfather 2 are the exceptions rather than the rule. On that basis, the new Star Wars films will likely suck compared to the original. But many people will still go see it anyways and Disney will keep milking the franchise until it dies a Rock Band death.
On the other hand, maybe the new Star Wars movies won't be so bad. Maybe Disney will be smart enough to not let the director write the entire script on his/her own. The Star Wars prequels were atrocious:
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft… and smooth.
Have you seen Matrix 2? Prometheus? Some directors just need help from professional writers. The new Star Wars movies might… just maybe… turn out to be half-decent.
Here's an interview with George Lucas where he talks about the sale:
To me, it seems that George Lucas is a little tired of making movies.

How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Creating an SVG download button with GSAP's MorphSVGPlugin
Posted on Aug 22, 2016 by Darin Senneff
SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics) have become very popular on the web the past few years. They look great on any type of device or screen, and they load incredibly fast. They're also a flexible and strong way to include animations into your work. Adding some well-thought-out motion to that infographic, icon, or UI element's use may just make it that much more impactful.

While most people these days can discern between fonts like Times New Roman and Comic Sans, typography can still seem confusing, complicated, or even arbitrary to some. In actuality, it is a very crucial concept and can either make or break a design. People, whether they realize it or not, experience typography on an emotional level.

Much has been written about the Rising American Electorate – the unmarried women, African Americans, Latinos, other people of color and Millennials who are driving population growth and changing demographics broadly in the U.S.
Hispanics are a significant force in these trends, and come November, will be critical to determining the election's outcome. This makes connecting with Hispanics even more important this year, and digital offers a great medium for reaching them.

Census Reminder: It's Not Too Late to Fill Out Your Form
If you haven't taken a moment to complete the Census form you recently received in the mail, it's not too late to be counted and help determine Montgomery County's future for the next 10 years. The County will lose thousands of federal dollars for essential services for every resident who isn't counted.
However, if you're one of the nearly 70 percent of Montgomery County residents who have already returned their Census forms, you can still help the cause by reminding family members, friends and neighbors to make sure they fill out and return their forms.
If you or someone you know has not received a Census form, call 1-866-872-6868 between April 12 and 21 for a replacement form. For those who have not mailed their completed form back to the Census by the end of April, Census enumerators will be visiting starting on May 1. You can find information on how to get help or find a Questionnaire Assistance Center at: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/census.
First Signs on Silver Spring Heritage Trail to be"Unveiled"
Link to the map in pdf format.
The first six signs along the new Silver Spring Heritage Trail, the first official Main Street Heritage Trail in Montgomery County, will be unveiled at a special ceremony on Saturday, April 17 at 1 p.m., beginning at 8435 Georgia Ave. (the current Silver Spring Regional Services Center).
Local elected officials, including County Executive Ike Leggett and 5th District Councilmember Valerie Ervin, and community representatives will join descendants of the original early 1900s pioneers and settlers as they stroll from sign to sign, removing the covers.
The project is a joint endeavor between the County Executive's Office, the County Council, the Silver Spring Regional Services Center, the Silver Spring Historical Society and the Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission staff. The Silver Spring Heritage Trail is one of the mitigations recommended by the Maryland Historical Trust following demolition of the historic 1927 Silver Spring National Guard Armory 12 years ago to make way for the redevelopment of Downtown Silver Spring.
For more about the trail, email the Silver Spring Historical Society at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's Still Pothole Season
County roads have endured a season of freezing and thawing in addition to three major blizzards. That stress results in pavement cracks and those annoying potholes. However, Highway Services crews and contractors will be working all spring and summer making needed repairs. Four pothole patching trucks work every day to make permanent repairs. Highway's goal is to fix any pothole 36 hours after the time it was reported. If you encounter a pothole, report it to the County Department of Transportation's Customer Service Center at 240-777-6000 or advise them by email. Include details about the exact location -- the street address nearest the pothole or a landmark. You can also submit a pothole's location electronically at montgomerycountymd.gov/Potholes.

Paper Cuts – the Good Kind
There are bad paper cuts – the kind we get on our fingers that sting like the dickens -- then there are good paper cuts like the ones happening throughout Montgomery County government.
The County's paper reduction act was officially implemented in September 2009. The goal was to cut paper use roughly 15% in a year, saving roughly $1 million dollars. Departments were told to achieve 15% cost savings in their paper/printing budget for the rest of the fiscal year. Because this program began in Sept (FY10), a portion of this $1M savings will come in the first quarter of FY11. Review the departments' figures (pdf).

Giving Birth To The Beasts
In 2007, Zeitlin, then an aspiring filmmaker from Hastings-on-Hudson (located in Westchester County, New York), packed up his belongings and moved down to New Orleans. One could say that it was his destiny, a fate sealed back when he was just a 13-year-old kid vacationing in The Big Easy with his parents, Steve and Amanda Zeitlin, who, together, oversee the NYC non-profit organization City Lore, which works to preserve urban culture, history, and folklore in the Big Apple.
Since he was just a youngster at the time, Zeitlin couldn't partake in the legally aged tourist side of New Orleans, though such debauchery wasn't hard to miss. "I remember walking back to our car after checking out a sight and there was a girl peeing between our car and another one, and then she went running down the street with her pants down," recalls Zeitlin, with a laugh. "New Orleans just had this kind of dystopian, joyous abandon that I don't think I'd ever witnessed before."
And a reckless allure that never left his mind. In 2004, Zeitlin paid the city a second visit, this time with a group of friends, as part of a "road race from New York to New Orleans with three different cars." Once there, he was able to explore the unique scenery and really get a feel for the landscape. That's all she proverbially wrote. "That experience was more relevantly why I ended up going back to the city two years later," he says. "It was because of the friends that I made down there, and this unshakable feeling that New Orleans was a place where I could really thrive."
Three years later, merging his newfound geographical love with his longtime hopes of becoming a director, and living one of those friends, Zeitlin shot a short film called Glory at Sea. Twenty-five minutes long, Glory at Sea re-imagines a post-Hurricane Katrina Louisiana as a dreamlike vista in which the victims of a vicious storm—never identified as Katrina, though—cling for life underneath water as their family members head out to save them on a shoddily made raft. The short eventually won prizes at festivals like South By Southwest and CineVegas. Tragedy nearly struck, however, when, on his way to the film's SXSW premiere, Zeitlin's vehicle was smashed by a drunk driver. He was sent to the hospital with a broken hip and pelvis, and was unable to walk for six months.
Those six months weren't for naught. It was during that immobile time that Zeitlin, eager to make his first full-length motion picture, couldn't shake an idea of making a film about the reasons why the city's proudest natives refuse to leave New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. Living there himself at the time, the Wesleyan University graduate started understanding what it was that made the Crescent City so beloved by its lifelong residents. "A lot of America is homogeneous, and there a lot of places that are similar to each other, but South Louisiana is not one of them," says the filmmaker. "It's almost like a different country down there. It's got its own culture, its own type of food, its own type of dancing, and it's got these intangible things in the air, to where there's a real relationship with the actual environment."
The citizens' collective passion isn't just an issue of unseen connections. Adds Zeitlin, "The food comes out of the water, which is a lot more visceral than when you can find a grocery store anywhere else in the country and get the food that you like. That's not the case with the food down there. There's s a quote that I once heard that really struck me. This guy told me, 'We are made by the marsh. We are this, like, exotic plant that can only grow under these conditions, and if you tried to put it somewhere else it would shrivel up.' When you're down there, and you can feel what it's like and feel how different it is, that makes a lot of sense."
With his potential feature debut's thematic hook in place, Zeitlin then needed to figure out who his characters were going to be, and how their interpersonal relationships would fit into the bigger, allegorical picture. For richly developed characters, Zeitlin sought inspiration in the writing of Lucy Alibar, a close friend whom he first met when, as teenagers, they won a New York-based playwriting contest called Young Playwrights Incorporated. A friendship immediately formed, and, during the years leading up to Beasts of the Southern Wild's birth, Zeitlin would read her stage plays and Alibar would check out his short films, and they'd offer each other notes, advice, and complimentary motivation.
For Beasts, Zeitlin focused specifically on Alibar's play Juicy and Delicious, the story of a Georgia kid named Hushpuppy who loses her father to cancer just as monsters, the "aurochs," emerge from clay and start hunting down youths. "I wrote Juicy and Delicious after my dad got really sick, and I just didn't really know how to handle it," says Alibar. "I didn't know how that could exist, how my dad could be sick in this world, the world how I understood it to be. It was really about living through loss with grace, and finding your place in the universe, and how losing a parent actually brings you closer to your source."
Zeitlin knew that his spin on Juicy and Delicious, soon titled Beasts of the Southern Wild, needed to be set in New Orleans, so he and Alibar lived in the city's Pointe Aux Chenes Marina, a fishing locale nestled at the Nola's bottom. Holed up there for two months, the enthusiastic writers dreamt up a fictional floodplain community known as "The Bathtub," designed closely in the mold of Pointe Aux Chenes and meant to separate Beasts from any overt allusions to real-life national headlines. "I always wanted the film to be kind of a folktale," says Zeitlin. "It's very much inspired by real things in Louisiana, but I didn't want to make the film something that was attached to current events, or political in that way. I very much didn't want to make a film that's rooted in political issues that people already have preconceived notions about, or are divisive."
Including a mystical variation of auroch cattle, which have been extinct since 1627, Beasts is unmistakably situated in a heightened reality, but not for any genre-minded purposes. "I feel like a lot of times when people start talking about the issues related to Louisiana, you end up in a discussion about oil drilling, the types of cars you drive, and the candidates that you vote for," says Zeitlin. "Those things are important, of course, but they weren't really at the heart of what we wanted to say. We wanted to say something that was more emotional, speaking to the feeling of what it's like to lose this thing that made you, what it's like to see your creator slip through your fingers. If we could heighten the story and set it slightly outside of the world, and slightly above the politics, [we felt] that it would be something that was more universal and got outside of the debates had by people who would just show up with their already ossified ideas."

Northwest Winston-Salem Area Plan [pdf/5.12mb/94p]
The Northwest Winston-Salem Area Plan was adopted by City Council and the City-County Planning Board in 2012. The plan was prepared by the Northwest Winston-Salem Citizens' Advisory Committee and the staff of the City-County Planning Department. The plan includes recommendations for land use, transportation, community facilities, design and appearance, historic preservation, and environmental issues.
The Northwest Winston-Salem Planning Area [pdf/975kb/1p] is nearly 4,000 acres (6.1 sq. miles) and is bounded on the west by Silas Creek Parkway; on the north by the Shoppes at Reynolda Village, the Reynolda Woods neighborhood and Old Town Country Club; Arbor Acres, the Children's Home, R.J. Reynolds High School and Hawthorne Avenue on the east; and Business 40/US 421 on the south. The planning area has land in the Southwest, West, Northwest and North City Council Wards and is completely within the City of Winston-Salem's zoning and planning jurisdiction.
Proposed land uses are shown on the Proposed Land Use Map [pdf/1.3mb/1p]. The following other recommendations are among those included in the Northwest Winston-Salem Area Plan, beginning on page 29:

The Will Herndon Research Fund at Beyond Batten Disease Foundation
Our goal is to SAVE WILL and the hundreds of other children stricken with juvenile Batten disease. We have HOPE, but we need your help today!
In 2009, Missy and Wayne Herndon founded The Will Herndon Research Fund (HOPE) to raise awareness and support for research into finding a cure for juvenile Batten disease. This effort began in honor of their son, Will, who was diagnosed at the age of 6. This rare, fatal, genetic disease attacks an otherwise healthy child, beginning with vision loss, declined cognitive skills and seizures. Imagine blindness, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases all rolled into one. Batten disease has proven to be fatal, often by the late teens or early twenties.
When the Herndon's journey began, virtually no viable research existed. They partnered with Beyond Batten Disease Foundation in Austin, Texas, and brought a team of researchers from Italy to the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital, to focus on a treatment for juvenile Batten disease. Initially funded with a $2.5 million grant, it represented the largest investment ever made in the history of Batten disease research. After numerous experiments and diligent analysis, this team presented the Batten community with a significant medical breakthrough – a treatment that slows the progression of juvenile Batten disease. At this very moment, it is undergoing FDA-required validation studies, with a goal of being approved into a clinical trial.
These studies are expected to last until late 2017 and projected to cost $3 million. Securing funding for this this project and successfully entering clinical trials, would mean that Will and the many children who need it most, would receive that treatment! And, HOPE researchers would gain valuable, much needed time to focus on finding a cure.
In the years sine Will's diagnosis, Missy and Wayne have never been filled with more HOPE than they are now. They are in an intense race against time, relying on the prayers and support of family, friends and a generous corporate community. Thank you for visiting The Will Herndon Research Fund. Please continue to explore this page and see the many faces of HOPE at fundraising events that occur year-round.

How can I reproduce the problem? I've tried with the example below, but that seems to be working allright.
from django.conf import settings settings.configure( CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.dummy.DummyCache', } } ) from django.utils.translation.trans_real import activate, gettext activate('iu-ca') print(gettext('Hello, world.'))
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by fernando.gutierrez@…
I think it is not related to one unknown language, probably related to two unknown languages and the way django tries to avoid sharing the translation object? This script fails for me in the third activate, it basically replicates what I am trying to do for a language chooser, were in one template I try to show the language name in it's own language:
from django.conf import settings gettext = lambda s: s settings.configure( CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.dummy.DummyCache', } }, LANGUAGES = ( ('en', gettext('English')), ('zh-sg', gettext('Traditional Chinese (Singapore)')), ('zh-hk', gettext('Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)')), ) ) from django.utils.translation.trans_real import activate, gettext activate('en') print(gettext('Hello, world.')) activate('zh-sg') print(gettext('Hello, world.')) activate('zh-hk') print(gettext('Hello, world.'))
Fails with:
$ python script.py Hello, world. Hello, world. Traceback (most recent call last): File "script.py", line 21, in <module> activate('zh-hk') File "/Users/***/.virtualenvs/cumutmp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 194, in activate _active.value = translation(language) File "/Users/***/.virtualenvs/cumutmp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 184, in translation current_translation = _fetch(language, fallback=default_translation) File "/Users/***/.virtualenvs/cumutmp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 147, in _fetch res._info = res._info.copy() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_info'
This is django 1.4.10 btw. (I've replaced my username with *)
comment:4 follow-up: ↓ 5 Changed 3 years ago by anonymous
Looks about right. The core issue is that an inappropriate IOError exception in trans_real.translation() that results in downstream failure.
This section of code is difficult to debug and write fixes for. I've closed my old pull in favor of a rewrite:
Some of this code hasn't been touched in ages.
I hope this pull is reviewed and merged so core django translations dev can happen without hours of trying to untangle what is happening.

It has been 18 years in coming, and the time is finally here. All Controlling Health Plans (CHPs) must obtain a unique Health Plan Identifier (HPID). A CHP is a health plan that controls its own business activities, actions, or policies, or is controlled by entities that are not health plans. The HPID is a unique 10-digit, all-numeric identifier that will be assigned to every qualifying health plan.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) first indicated the need for HPIDs back in 1996. Almost a decade later, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a final rule mandating HPID adoption. Now the important part: the deadline for most providers to register for an HPID is November 5, 2014. (Small health plans, those with annual claims paid of $5 million or less, have until November 5, 2015 to register.)
The primary purpose of HPIDs is standardization, which should make the exchange of electronic data more efficient and more accurate. Among other improvements, HPIDs will drastically decrease the instances of misrouted transactions or rejected transactions due to insurance identification errors. HHS has said that universal adoption of HPIDs is expected to save $6 billion over the next ten years.
While CHPs are required to register, sub-health plan affiliates may register for a HPID or may choose to use the number of its CHP parent. Self-insured group health plans that fit the definition of a CHP will be required to have an HPID. If a health plan engages a business associate to conduct standard transactions on its behalf, the business associate must use the health plan's HPID in every field where the health plan is identified.
In addition to registering for the HPID, CHPs must disclose their HPID when requested and communicate any changes to the required data elements in the HPID Enumeration System within 30 days of the change.
The HPID will be used for all "standard transactions," as defined by HIPAA, as well as for other lawful purposes, including: identification on health plans' internal files; health insurance cards; cross-referencing in health care fraud and abuse files; and identification of health plans on Health Information Exchanges, and federal and state insurance exchanges.
Health Plans can complete their HPID application here.
HHS provides videos to assist Health Plans in the application process and a 111-page User Manual published by CMS here.

"#Erotic Chess Set" by @TwistedDaylight
Created by @TwistedDaylight January 20, 2014 at 10:35PM
A classy erotic chess set, celebrating the beauty of the female body.
This stared as an idea/bet from my brother ("I bet you can't make…"). I tried many different base models for the female form, but this was the one that worked best. The set has a strange "bionic" look to it.

Secrets of the Manx Isle
7 Days Train Holiday
In the midst of the Irish Sea, halfway between England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, lies the remarkable Isle of Man. With its own parliament, postage stamps and over 1,000 years of history, it's a fascinating and unforgettable place to visit. Famed for its annual TT Motorcycle Championships, the island is a wealth of beauty, tradition and in many ways a step back in time as the steam trains and horse-drawn trams still offer a touch of nostalgia. Our holiday combines the comfort of rail with the freedom of a five-day Island Heritage Explorer Pass - making this a unique way to discover the many gems of this enchanting isle.
