College of the Canyons saw two sports seasons come to a close last week and a few more are ready to wrap up this week. The men's track and field and men's golf teams have legitimate chances to bring COC's first state championship of the 2012-13 school year home.
The most successful postseason run for COC baseball since 2003 came to a close on Saturday with the team's heartbreaking 5-4 loss to Cypress College on the California Community College Athletic Association Southern California Super Regional at Saddleback College.
Canyons led 4-2 headed into the ninth and final inning, but a series of walks and hit batsmen helped Cypress rally for three runs and a victory on a walk-off, bases-loaded walk.
The previous day, COC lost 7-0 to Saddleback. The two losses knocked Canyons out of the double-elimination tournament.
COC finished the season 24-16 after finishing second in the Western State Conference, South Division and the team garnered several conference awards.
Those were highlighted by Cougars sophomore Alex Bishop winning All-WSC South Player of the Year. In addition COC freshman first baseman Quincy Quintero, sophomore infielder Chad DeLaguerra and freshman Ryan Cruz were named first-team All-conference.
Freshman infielder Trey Williams, freshman outfielder Corey Sims and sophomore pitcher Steven Farnworth were among COC players named to the All-conference second team.
Canyons softball was also eliminated in a CCCAA Southern California Super Regional after losing two straight games to region-host Riverside City College on Sunday.
The Cougars lost by scores of 11-1 and 10-0 to finish the season 34-11-2.
Riverside was the same to knock COC out of the same round of the playoffs last season. COC was one win short of advancing to the state championship round.
Track and Field
The College of the Canyons track and field team brought home an individual championship and a new school record at this weekend's Southern California prelims at Antelope Valley College on Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Tim White turned in a distance of 51 feet, 2 3/4 inches for a Southern California Championship in the triple jump. His jump was a little less than a foot shorter than his best mark that he earned at the Western State Conference Championships two weekends ago. The Hart High School alumnus will compete in the state championship in event, which he will be favored to win based on his marks this season.
The CCCAA Track and Field State Championship Meet takes place from May 17-18 at San Mateo College.
Joining White there will be COC freshman Anthony Fowler, who broke the school record in the 400-meter dash with a time of 47.49 seconds, while coming in fourth place. Fowler improved his Southern California prelims time by 2 1/2 seconds and ran the 21st fastest time among community college runners in the nation this year and eighth best time in the state of California.
Men's Golf
The College of the Canyons men's golf team earn a spot in today's CCCAA State Championship tournament by finishing second in last week's Southern California Men's Golf Championship.
As a team, the Cougars carded a two-day total score of 733 at the par-72 Costa Mesa Country Club.
COC recorded rounds of 372 and 361 on May 5 and 6, following the lead of Riley Hayfield, who had a team-best total score of 145 with rounds of 71 and 74.
Following the first round, the Cougars trailed host Orange Coast College by 13 strokes and second-place Santiago Canyon by two strokes.
Canyons came surging back in the second round with two golfers, Jake Katz (70), Sidney Wolf (71), turning in under par scores.
Today's trip to the state championships, which will be hosted by Monterey Peninsula College at Rancho Canada Golf Club, marks the second consecutive year that COC has earned a spot at the state's top tournament. Last year, the Cougars came in second place after a card-off with Desert College.

The Syracuse women's lacrosse team used an 18-2 run to secure a 21-8 win over Dartmouth Saturday at the SU Soccer Stadium in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 4 seed Orange will play No. 5 seed Florida at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Carrier Dome.
Junior attack and Tewaaraton Trophy finalist Alyssa Murray led the Orange with 10 points, the third-highest total for an Orange player in an NCAA Tournament game. She and freshman attack Kayla Treanor both scored five goals to match the Syracuse single-game Tournament record.
SU fell behind early but started to take control thanks to a huge edge in draw controls. It won 13-of-19 draws in the first half to keep possession for most of the period.
That helped the Orange score seven unanswered goals and turn a two-goal deficit into a 9-4 lead. Dartmouth managed only eight shots on goal in the first half as Syracuse took a 12-6 lead into the break.
SU then scored the first eight goals of the second half. SU took a 10-goal lead at the 22:12 mark, and the game went to a running clock.
Scoring: Dartmouth -- Sarah Byrne 4-0, Hana Bowers 2-0, Jaclyn Leto 1-0, Gabby Starkey 1-0, Liz Calby 0-2, Courtney Bennett 0-1. Syracuse -- Alyssa Murray 5-5, Kayla Treanor 5-2, Devon Collins 3-0, Erica Bodt 2-0, Kailah Kempney 2-0, Brenna Rainone 2-0, Bridget Daley 1-0, Katie Webster 1-0, Kelly Cross 0-2, Kasey Mock 0-1, Amy Cross 0-1.
Saves: Dartmouth 10 (Kristen Giovanniello), Syracuse 3 (Kelsey Richardson 0, Alyssa Costantino 3). Shots: Syracuse 37-13. Draw controls: Syracuse 19-12. Ground balls: Syracuse 14-11.

STDs in the porn industry deals with the outbreak of cases of transmission in the sex industry of sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs), especially HIV/AIDS, which became a major cause of concern since the 1980s, especially for pornographic film actors. As of 2009[update], there had been twenty-two reported HIV cases in the U.S. pornography industry; roughly half were among men who work in gay films, while the rest were men and women working in heterosexual productions.[1]
Types of diseases[edit]
Some types of STDs reported in the porn industry include: chlamydia, gonorrhea,[2] syphilis,[3] and HIV/AIDS.
Because pornographic film making involves unsimulated sex, usually without condoms (barebacking), pornographic actors are particularly vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases. In a paper written by the LA Board of Public Health, officials claimed that among 825 performers screened in 2000–2001, 7.7% of females and 5.5% of males had chlamydia, and 2% overall had gonorrhea. These rates are much higher than in patients visiting family planning clinics, where chlamydia and gonorrhea rates were 4.0% and 0.7%, respectively. Between January 2003 and March 2005, approximately 976 performers were reported with 1,153 positive STD test results. Of the 1,153 positive test results, 722 (62.6%) were chlamydia, 355 (30.8%) were gonorrhea, and 126 (10.9%) were coinfections with chlamydia and gonorrhea. Less is known about the prevalence and risk of transmission of other STDs such as syphilis, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B or C, trichomonal infection, or diseases transmitted through the fecal–oral route.[4] The data collection of LA public health was criticized by pornographic industry sources on the grounds that most of those testing positive had never made a pornographic film, and were in fact being excluded from pornographic film acting until they had treated their STDs. Non-treatable STDs like HSV represent a difficult case: according to actress Chloe, "After you've been in this business for a while, you have herpes. Everyone has herpes."[5]
HIV cases[edit]
|It has been suggested that this section be split out into another article titled HIV/AIDS in the porn industry. (Discuss) (June 2015)
1980s and 1990s[edit]
According to former pornographic actress Shelley Lubben, a 1980s outbreak of HIV led to the death of 27 porn stars between 1985 and 1989, including Wade Nichols (who died in 1985[7]), John Holmes (who died in 1988), Marc Stevens (who died in 1989), and Al Parker (who died in 1992).[7]
When Nichols died in 1985,[7] his fellow porn star Ron Jeremy denied that Nichols' death was AIDS-related.[8]:406
In February 1986, Holmes was diagnosed as HIV-positive, six months after he had been tested negative for the virus. During the summer of 1986, Holmes, knowing his HIV status, agreed to perform in two pornographic films to be filmed in Italy, without informing the producers of his HIV status. Performers in one film, The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empress, were Ilona "Cicciolina" Staller, who later became a member of the Italian parliament, Tracey Adams, Christoph Clark, and Amber Lynn.[9] Performers in the other film, The Devil In Mr. Holmes, were Adams, Lynn, Karin Schubert, and Marina Hedman.[citation needed] Subsequently, it was revealed that Holmes had consciously chosen not to reveal his HIV status to his producers or co-stars before engaging in unprotected sex for the filming.[9][10][11][12] As his health failed, Holmes disingenuously attributed his condition to colon cancer and first confided that he had AIDS in January 1987.[13] He died from AIDS-related complications on March 13, 1988, aged 43.[14]
Stevens died of AIDS[8]:405 in 1989, aged 46.[15] Parker died in 1992 from complications of AIDS, aged 40.[15]
Marc Wallice, a known IV drug user,[16] tested HIV positive in 1998. On April 30, 1998, he was diagnosed by Adult Industry Medical (AIM) as HIV positive.[17] It was alleged that he had hidden his HIV positive status for two years, with rumors that he accomplished this by using fake blood work through several HIV testing cycles to continue working.[citation needed] This speculation has been disputed and investigated using Wallice's tests,[18][19] but it has not been doubted that during this period Wallice infected seven women on the set: Brooke Ashley,[20] Tricia Devereaux,[21] Caroline, Nena Cherry, Jordan McKnight, Barbara Doll, and Kimberly Jade.[16]
After four years of no reported HIV-issues within the industry, in April 2004, AIM diagnosed Darren James as being HIV-positive. It was concluded that James had been infected while engaging in unprotected anal sex with Brazilian actress Bianca Biaggi during a scene for the video Split That Booty 2 in Rio de Janeiro.[22][23][24] AIM initiated an urgent search for other potentially infected performers.[25] It was discovered that three actresses who had worked with James shortly after his return to the United States had also become infected. These were Canadians Lara Roxx and Miss Arroyo, and Czech-born Jessica Dee.[26][27][28]
The heterosexual segment of the porn industry voluntarily shut down for 30 days (a 60-day moratorium was originally announced but it was lifted early) while it tried to deal with the situation.[29] Darren James, Jessica Dee, and Lara Roxx were barred from further production of sexually explicit content. About 60 actors who had had contact with James or Roxx were barred from working until HIV tests were completed and they were declared HIV negative. A further estimated 130 actors who had had contact with James were tested and received an HIV-negative result. A total of five actors were diagnosed with the virus by the end of the moratorium: one male and four females, including one transsexual[22][23][24] named Jennifer.[27]
In June 2009, AIM reported that a female adult entertainer had tested positive, though it was believed that transmission occurred in her private life. LA County Public Health claimed that there had been 16 "unreported" HIV cases in the adult film industry. The AIM Healthcare Foundation claimed those cases did not involve actors in production companies that followed their testing protocols and included members of the general public who used AIM Healthcare testing services or individuals attempting to work in the porn industry who never were able to obtain employment in adult films because of their failure to provide proof negative status for HIV or other STD.[30]
On October 12, 2010, AIM reported that an actor or actress had been infected with HIV. The name and gender of the person was not released to the public.[31] Vivid Entertainment and Wicked Pictures were the first companies to announce a production shutdown. Although Wicked Pictures allow some performers to wear condoms, the company shut down to wait for the quarantine list.[32] Several other porn studios shut down as a preventative measure.[33] At the time, no other performers tested HIV positive.[34]
In December, the HIV positive performer was identified as Derrick Burts. Burts had worked in both heterosexual and gay pornography.[35] Despite contracting gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis, Burts continued taking part in unprotected sex in films before quitting once he was diagnosed as being HIV positive. He was informed by the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation that he had contracted the disease, which according to Burts, he received on a set outside the AIM system, while having oral sex scene with another "HIV positive male actor".[36]
In August 2011, the industry was temporarily shut down because of news of a performer was testing positive for the virus. Diane Duke, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, confirmed the situation.[citation needed] Production later resumed production when a performer was retested and it came back negative.[citation needed]
In June 2013, a gay male performer tested positive for HIV in a routine FSC-conducted blood test.[37] The anonymous performer had previously worked exclusively on condom-only movies.[38] FSC determined that the infection did not take place on-set.[39]
In August 2013, an adult female performer, Cameron Bay, tested HIV positive.[40][41][42][43] In response, FSC organized an industry wide moratorium from August 21 to August 27. On September 4, Rod Daily, Cameron Bay's ex-boyfriend,[44] announced he had also tested HIV positive.[45] Two days later, a third anonymous female performer tested positive [46] prompting FSC to organize a second moratorium from September 6 to September 20.[47] All three infections were found to have taken place off-set.[47] Rumors surfaced of a fourth HIV positive test during September but they were never substantiated.[48]
In December 2013, a male porn actor tested HIV positive, leading FSC to halt production for one week. This infection was also determined to have taken place off-set.[39]
Testing and clinics[edit]
The revelations led to the creation of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM Healthcare or AIM) in 1998, which helped set up a monitoring system in the pornographic film industry in the United States, and pornographic film actors were required to be tested for HIV every 30 days.[49]
The AIM system required all sexual contact to be logged, with positive test results leading to all sexual contacts for the last three to six months being contacted and re-tested. The use of condoms became standard in films featuring homosexual anal sex. Due to accurate and mandatory medical tests, HIV and AIDS cases became rare in the pornographic film industry.
However, testing is voluntary (though refusal to be tested can result in the actor not being cast in a sex role) and there is no testing or monitoring of the pornographic film industry in other countries. There have been indications that actors have voluntarily left the industry, at least the industry in the United States, rather than be tested by AIM and have their AIDS and HIV status disclosed.
AIM closed all its operations in May 2011, forcing the industry to look for other mechanisms for supporting and enforcing regular testing.[50] The gap was filled by the Free Speech Coalition, which set up the APHSS system, now known as Performer Availability Screening Services (PASS).[51]
Regulations to limit the spread of HIV[edit]
Due to this limited outbreak, the California State government considered regulating the industry. Some proposed to mandate the wearing of condoms during sexually explicit scenes. Industry insiders say this would ruin sales of their wares since the unprotected content is one of the selling points of some of their films. They say the wearing of condoms ruins the sexual fantasies of many viewers. Insiders say that such regulation would force the industry underground, out of California or overseas where it would be more prone to health risks for performers. The non-profit Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM Healthcare) worked with the government, to develop policies that both the industry and the government would find acceptable.[52]
2012 ballot measure in Los Angeles[edit]
In the 2012 election voters in Los Angeles were presented with Measure B ("Safer Sex In the Adult Film Industry Act") with the following text:[53]
Shall an ordinance be adopted requiring producers of adult films to obtain a County public health permit, to require adult film performers to use condoms while engaged in sex acts, to provide proof of blood borne pathogen training course, to post permit and notices to performers, and making violations of the ordinance subject to civil fines and criminal charges?
Proponents of the measure claimed pornography performers were significantly more likely to acquire HIV than the general population and that they are generally not given health insurance by their employers and so the tax payer would foot the bill for HIV treatment. Opponents claimed it to be a waste of tax dollars because of existing stringent HIV testing protocols and because nobody has contracted HIV on set in the past 8 years in the United States.[when?]
The measure passed with 57% voting for and 43% voting against.[54][55]

For many years resection in the treatment of colonic diverticulitis was reserved for those cases in which the complications of perforation, obstruction, or fistulation occurred. These operations were associated with high morbidity, significant mortality, and prolonged periods of disability, since they frequently involved staged procedures upon old and debilitated patients. In the past decade, however, a one-stage resection with primary anastomosis has been utilized in this country for the treatment of early colonic diverticular disease and has been demonstrated to be a safe procedure offering excellent results.4,8,13,18-20 Coincidental with the increased number of reports in recent surgical literature concerning operations for diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon, there was a noticeable increase in the number of surgical procedures performed for this disease at the Presbyterian and Woman's Hospitals, Pittsburgh. A review of the operative cases from these hospitals was carried out, covering the six-year period of January, 1953, to

text: 10 Iconic Albums Turning 20 This Year By Patrick DeMarco | March 27, 2014 at 1:31 pm comment on this post Dookie by Green Day Even though the amped-up trio released two prior studio albums in the early '90s, it was Dookie that found the group mainstream success, kickstarting a new wave of punk after the genre faded in the late-'70s and early'80s. Not to mention, the album sent guy liner sales skyrocketing through the roof. Billie Joe Armstrong and his gaggle of misfits came out swinging with a fresh punk look along with music that spoke to a whole lot of angsty teens, making awkward high school experiences just a bit easier to get through. Best singles: "Longview" "Basket Case," and "When I Come Around." Live Through This by Hole Released just days after lead singer Courtney Love's husband — and Nirvana frontman — Kurt Cobain's suicide, Live Through This was a lighter departure for the band, following their hardcore '91 release Pretty On The Inside. Loaded with guitar riffs, sulking melodies and lots of Love angst, the set was pure rock magic. However, the antics of Love are what made this album even more delicious as she let the world know of her short-fused temper, drug use and her uncanny ability to interrupt a Madonna/Kurt Loder interview. Best singles: "Doll Parts" "Miss World," and "Violet." Illmatic by Nas Baby-mama drama, social issues and street life comprised New York-based rapper Nas's debut. Illmatic raised a torch for East Coast hip-hop after the genre had been dominated by West Coast rappers Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur for much of the early '90s. Despite being praised for its lyrical content and Nas's incredible rhymes, Illmatic stayed on the charts for two years, eventually going double platinum. Best singles: "The World is Yours," "Life's A Bitch," and "One Love." Ill Communication by Beastie Boys Although mostly known for its eye-popping Spike Jonze-directed video for "Sabotage," Beastie Boy's third set showcased a more mature sound after the hard-rapping trio spent much of the late-'80s and early'90s creating in-your-face anthems and fighting-for-your-right-to-party jams. The eclectic set was a fantastic fusion of hip-hop with jazz and rock rhythms. Best singles: "Sabotage," "Get It Together," "Sure Shot," and "Tough Guy." Age Ain't Nothing But a Number by Aaliyah At just 15, Aaliyah released her wise-beyond-her-years debut set, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number. The album was a fierce set of block-rockin' grooves that brought with it a fresh R&B sound that would forever change the baby-makin' genre. Best singles: "Back and Forth," "Down With The Clique," "At Your Best," "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number." The Lion King Admit it, you've already got "Hakuna Matata" bouncing around in your head. Composers Elton John and Tim Rice joined forces to deliver a soundtrack that still has Disney lovers singing along. Just think how many times you've belted "Circle Of Life" and "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" in the shower, or have gotten misty eyed while hearing the wind-swept ballad "Can You Feel The Love Tonight." Let the nostalgia set in. Ready to Die by Notorious B.I.G. Along with Nas's debut, Ready to Die was another near-flawless set of classic hip-hop that would change the rap game forever. Being the first album released under Diddy's Bad Boy Records, Biggie's debut was a firestorm of slick beats all matched to perfection with the incredible rhymes of the dearly departed rapper. However, on a twist of fate, it was also this album that began the now infamous East Coast/West Coast rap feud that ultimately led to the deaths of Tupac and Mr. B.I.G, leaving Ready to Die the only album to be released by Biggie while he was still alive. Best singles: "Big Poppa," "Juicy." Bedtime Stories by Madonna Madonna's sixth studio album featured a grown and sexy R&B sound, and a pop star who was discovering a new, more mature sense of self. The album is a dream from start to finish, from the beginning smooth grooves of opener "Survival" to the closing strings of her Babyface-produced ballad, "Take A Bow," these stories are worth staying awake for. Best singles: "Secret," "Human Nature," and "Bedtime Story." Merry Christmas by Mariah Carey Don't hate. It may only be March, but hang up some mistletoe because the holiday album that gave life to the biggest Christmas song of our generation is celebrating a milestone this year. It'll be 20 years in November, when Mariah's Christmas opus, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" was born. From those opening twinkles to the final, ornament-shattering high notes, the song has been putting us into the holiday spirit for decades (at least the first time we hear it.) Best tracks: "Silent Night," "Joy To The World," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." CrazySexyCool by TLC This urban songbird trio hit their apex with their second album, going from urban to pop and back again. Lead single "Creep" added a new term in the cheater's thesaurus, and sexy romps "Red Light Special," and "Diggin On You" were straight-up bedroom gems. But "Waterfalls" is what shot these girls to superstardom. Read More About: Music

Move your Rudder/Aileron stick to the position you use for making a normal left turn. Don't give more left stick than you would do normally
during flight! The OSD Pro's RTH function will never exceed the rudder/aileron left turn stick position you set here, or the corresponding right turn position, when it attempts to steer the model. So, the amount of left stick you supply will set the maximum throw of the aileron/rudder during RTH. NOTE: during this step, the OSD Pro also examines the elevator position. If your radio is programmed for elevator aileron mixing, it will be detected during this step, and a proportional amount of up elevator will be applied during RTH turns.

Thomas and Mykro thank you for pointing this out. Indeed I was not using full stick left or up during the servo analysis wizard, since this was stated in the manual, and it seemed to be the best thing to do.
However because the control surfaces deflections were set up to be quite high at maximum stick input, I had to use less than 10% (maybe just 5%) of the available stick input during the servo analysis wizard. Therefore, the servo positions between no deflection and maximum deflection used by the OSD were very few, resulting at low resolution, and making things happen not progressively at all.
I already changed the servo linkages in such a way that I think I will have to use about 50-60% of the full stick deflection next time I run the servo analysis wizard. This can only improve the situation!
The aerobatic capabilities of my plane are now impaired, but you can not have the best of both worlds. Anyway, the more equipment I was adding to this plane, I found that I was doing less and less hammerheads and knife edge passes.
Yes, I've found the same thing. Try this relaxed version for a bit and see if it helps you debug and improve your RTH...then you can begin adding some throw back in as you get it locked down.

Osd pro
Hi fellow pilots
Just got the OSD PRO with Guardian stab module in my EZ Glider
Some questions if anyone could help:
- The voice alerts are very difficult to ear with all the noise from the camera, I would like to turn down the volume from the camera and turn up the volume for the warning alerts, how can I do this? I am using the GOPRO for recording and FPV.
- I have configured the OSD menu with one spare channel on a 3 pos switch in my Futaba 9C to acess all the settings. Sometimes when flying, if the RTH is activated by glitches, or sometimes even whitout RTH activated, the menu comes up in the screen whitout me touching any switch .. can anyone help me on this one?
- Downloaded the Itelemetry app for Iphone and ordered the cable to connect. Just tried it for the first time, but the plane icon does not move, cable connected to the audio exit of Eagle tree video station .. wondering if anyone has a fix for this? The GPS gets the fixing and the coordinates appear on the OSd screen, but on Iphone ... nothing!
- Finally, just wondering if anyone in the forum is flying the EZ Glider with this OSD and Guardian module, can you post the stabilization and RTH settings for me to try it out?
Thanks in advance ... here is my first FPV video with this plane and OSD system:
Ok heres my big list of everything ive ever wanted to know (thus far) but have been too lazy to search!
#1 My altitude is set to zero on launch, what if i launch from a hill and fly downward ... it just shows in the negatives?
#2 Will GPS altitude show me how high I am above stuff .... like if i fly 200m above a hill that is 536m ASL will it show 200, 736 or just whatever it is relative to my launch point.
#3 Why does it seem like my plane now does not want to RTH (looks like it isnt interested!) even though i had it working well last week and i only changed the cruise height? *(well i think thats all *
And well that concludes my current wonderments!
I am using the latest firmware:
- eLogger version 1.15
- OSD Pro version 2.51
- Guardian version 1.19
As for the Iphone app .. to bad, my mistake, thought this app was for the OSD PRO. This is a must do for the developers of this OSD !

to 1 and 2.) the altitude, regardless if the baro or gps measurement, is always shown in feet (meters) from the home-point. the displays shows negative values if the plane flies below this point.
to 3.) funny! ... are you sure, that you changed only the height? restore to your last settings
cheers Thomas
I hope this helps.

CHANGES TO FY2011-12 TRUSTEES FINANCIAL SUMMARYMonday, October 29, 2012, 1:29 pm
If you find a material coding error on your FY2011-12 Trustees Financial Summary (TFS), you may submit a revision to Steve Hamel in the School Finance Division. As provided in 10.10.504(6), Administrative Rules of Montana, changes to the FY2011-12 Trustees Financial Summary are limited to:
- coding revisions between revenue and expenditure line items provided no change occurs in the fund balance of the budgeted funds, and
- revisions in the balance sheet accounts provided no change occurs in the fund balance of the budgeted funds.
The Office of Public Instruction cannot process TFS changes that affect the fund balance in a budgeted fund because fund balance is carried forward to the FY2012-13 budget, and a change in fund balance may impact the number of mills already levied in the fund.
Revisions should be submitted to Steve Hamel by following these procedures:
1. Photocopy the original page of the TFS with amounts to be revised crossed out and the correct amount written above it.
2. When sending balance sheet account revisions, please also send any expenditure and revenue line item changes that correlate with such changes. The fund balance on the balance sheet should equal the ending fund balance shown on the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance report after the revisions are made.
3. Fax the revisions to Steve at (406) 444-0509 or mail them to him at P.O. Box 202501, Helena MT 59620-2501. Please submit the revisions by December 10, 2012 so that questions or problems related to processing the changes can be addressed before school districts are closed for the holiday break.
Note that immaterial line item coding changes that affect fund balance in the budgeted funds for FY2011-12 must be reported as a prior period adjustment on the Trustees Financial Summary for the current year (FY2012-13). The district may need to adopt a budget amendment for the current year to record a prior period expenditure adjustment in a budgeted fund.
For more information, contact Steve Hamel, (406) 444-0783

Changes in Depictions of Bullying in Popular Culture
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Bullying has been a hot topic in recent years in terms of education, social media, and garnering awareness and protection of all persons from bullying. While being bullied or picked on used to be considered something of a rite of passage of elementary and high school, it is now considered a serious offense and can result in school expulsion and criminal charges. The scope of bullying within popular culture has also changed radically; depicting scenes in television or movies regarding bullying is now considered offensive and come with a warning at the start of an episode.
This proposed collection would seek voices of a number of authors to share their thoughts and critical analyses of bullying within popular culture and the changes that have occurred in its depiction. An example is to look at the dramatic chases in movies such as Back to the Future or Forrest Gump in which the male protagonists are mercilessly chased and assaulted by bullies. Another example is to consider the bullying that takes place in the Harry Potter series (books and movies) and to consider how it is used as a tool and why, in its minimal use, it is deemed acceptable for children. Authors can also look critically at the role of race, gender, ethnicity, or other factors in bullying. Ideas outside of these categories or inquiries generally pertaining to the topic at hand can certainly be submitted.
The purpose of such a collection is multifaceted. As a faculty member at a university, one of my teaching assignments is that of Adolescent Literature courses. Understanding the role of bullying and other childhood behavioral concerns is a significant focus of a young adult literature course and anti-bullying programs have become such a phenomenon that entire courses can (and are) being developed around this theme. The text that I am proposing could serve as a reader for any type of similar course: popular culture, young adult literature, children's literature, popular American culture, and many more.
There has also been an increase in the number and scope of books depicting (fictionally or non-fictionally) bullying behaviors among children, teens, and adults. But, to my knowledge and research there is not a collection of scholarly essays addressing these concerns within the scope of popular culture and American society. I believe that such a collection could have a potential place with a variety of readers: teachers, teachers in training, graduate students, high school students, and undergraduate students. Undoubtedly this collection could also be used as a research tool for those interested in the subject area.
Any inquires or 250 word abstracts on their topic of interest can be sent to Dr. Abigail Scheg (Elizabeth City State University) at email@example.com with a due date for abstracts August 1, 2013. McFarland Press has expressed interest in publication of this collection.

Sitting in the orange-and-blue locker room of the University of Virginia basketball team, 7'4" Ralph Sampson is pondering a question—the question. That is, why in the name of all that is greedy did he turn down the prospect of turning pro at more than $1 million a year for the sheer satisfaction of staying in school? "Because," he says, "money isn't everything."
There is, of course, more to it than that. There is friendship. Loyalty. Pride. Whatever the reasons, one thing is certain: At a time when so many of the most talented underclassmen are taking the cash and fast-breaking to the pros, Ralph Sampson stands out as an oddity—a brilliant player who will not only graduate (with a B.A. in speech communication) but is expected to do so in the standard four years.
By all accounts, Virginia is one of the top teams in college basketball, and Sampson, twice the College Player of the Year, is the reason. Says ex-coach Al McGuire, NBC's shrewd basketball analyst: "He's more mobile than Bill Russell, a better shooter than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and someday he'll rebound like Wilt Chamberlain."
Which is why, after Sampson had played only one year at Virginia, Red Auerbach of the Boston Celtics offered him everything but Quincy Market to step into a pair of green high-top sneakers. The following year the Detroit Pistons and Dallas Mavericks were prepared to make similar offers, and last year it was the Los Angeles Lakers who would have broken a bank to get Ralph's name on the line.
"Every year I talked over my decision with my mom and dad, my sisters and my coaches," says Sampson. "They advised me to make up my own mind, and I did. I asked myself whether or not I needed the money. I looked at my family's situation. Then I looked at how important it was to me to play at Virginia and how important it was to get my degree. All things considered, I felt it was best to stay in school."
Sampson arrived at U.Va. from nearby Harrisonburg, a machinist's son who was the state's most exalted prospect since Moses Malone. Malone, of course, was the first contemporary player to go directly from high school to the pros, and there was speculation that Sampson would do the same. Instead he chose U.Va., a prestigious university founded by Thomas Jefferson, with no tradition of coddling athletes.
Despite Sampson's prodigious talents, Virginia has yet to win an NCAA championship, a failure that gnaws at his pride. But it may be his relationship with coach Terry Holland that has bound Sampson to U.Va. most securely. The two are exceptionally close, and Sampson even lived in Holland's basement apartment last year. "Terry is part coach, part friend to Ralph," says assistant coach Dave Odom. "I think Ralph was reluctant to see that relationship end before it had to."
If, in his senior year, Sampson should find himself under mounting pressure to deliver a national championship, he seems unlikely to be overwhelmed by it. At 22, he knows what he wants and what he believes in. He is immensely comfortable at U.Va. He appreciates the people, the freedom, his studies. Secure in the knowledge that someday soon he will become extravagantly wealthy playing pro basketball—his family has taken out a $1 million insurance policy against the contingency of a disabling injury—he intends to make the most of the time he has left as a student.
For Sampson, acceptance has always been important, and he has been willing to work for it. "When Ralph first came to school, nobody knew what to expect," recalls former teammate Jeff Lamp. "He went out of his way to be friendly, considerate, low-key." As a freshman, in fact, Sampson often appeared shy and withdrawn. During interviews, he would speak with his eyes riveted on his sneaker tops. Now he is unselfconscious and confident.
Which is not to say that he is letting his emotions run away with his mouth. This Saturday at 8 p.m. (EST) he and Virginia will face Georgetown and its formidable seven-foot center Patrick Ewing in a cable TV showdown on Super Station WTBS billed somewhat prematurely as the Game of the Decade. Is he apprehensive? Sampson rubs his chin. "I see it as just another game," he says, not altogether convincingly. "I mean, I'll play to win, just like always." Any predictions? He shakes his head, "No." Any comment about Ewing? A shrug. "He's a good player."
Beneath his reluctance to become involved in controversy, however, is carefully controlled competitive fire. Not long ago Holland asked Sampson how he would feel if Ewing turned pro at the end of this season and was chosen ahead of Ralph in the draft. Sampson looked him straight in the eye. "Coach," he said firmly, "I just won't let that happen."
On Virginia's August Campus, Only Jefferson Stands Taller Than Basketball Giant Ralph Sampson

UNFCCC Publishes Report of Malta's Inventory Submission Review
14 March 2013: The UNFCCC Secretariat has released the report of the individual review of Malta's 2012 inventory submission (FCCC/ARR/2012/MLT).
The review finds that between 1990 and 2010, Malta's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased by 49.1%, emissions from the industrial processes sector and the waste sector increased by 1,167.2% and 200%, respectively, but emissions from the solvent and other product use sector and agriculture sector decreased by 48.1% and 11.6%, respectively.
The centralized review took place from 10-15 September 2012 in Bonn, Germany, by an expert review team (ERT). The ERT concludes that the inventory submitted by Malta is complete in terms of years and geographical coverage and that it has significantly improved compared to the 2011 submission, but that it is incomplete in terms of categories, due to a lack of or insufficient activity data. It further concluded that the inventory is generally in line with the Revised 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines, the IPCC good practice guidance and the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF, except for the categories for which estimates are missing or the categories that have not been transparently reported, such as information on methane recovery and certain elements of the report on the waste sector.
The ERT also made a series of recommendations aimed at improving future inventories. [Publication: Report of the Individual Review of the Annual Submission of Malta Submitted in 2012]

Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Harvard School of Public Health published a study in the June 20 Journal of Clinical Oncology suggesting a link between high levels of vitamin D and increased colon cancer survival. Kimmie Ng, M.D., lead author of the study, says, "There has been a lot of laboratory scientific evidence that vitamin D is involved in cell growth and can inhibit or slow down cancer cell growth in animal models. There are also epidemiologic studies that look at vitamin D levels and the risk of getting colon cancer, and they found that higher levels conferred a lower risk of getting colon cancer."
However, Dr. Ng indicates there was not a lot of data published on how vitamin D levels related to how patients did after they were diagnosed with colon cancer, which was why they conducted the study. Dr. Ng and her fellow researchers identified patients from long-running cohort studies at Harvard, the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
Dr. Ng says, "We looked at 304 participants in these studies who had their blood drawn and who also had a diagnosis of colon cancer. We assayed their blood for vitamin D levels and divided their levels into quartiles. We then compared the highest 25% to the lowest 25%. What we found was that people who had the levels in the highest 25% had 48% less risk of dying from colon cancer."
During the study period, which ended in 2005, 123 patients died, 96 of them from colon or rectal cancer. The odds of dying from colon cancer specifically, according to the study, were 39% lower if the patient's vitamin D levels were in the highest quartile, or 25%. Ng says, "It is significant. There's definitely an association, which is what we showed in our study. I think definitive proof of the benefit would require vitamin D be studied in a clinical trial."
Dr. Ng notes that a large national clinical trial is currently being planned for patients who have had their colon cancer removed by surgery. "The standard of care is usually to administer chemotherapy after surgery. We're going to see if adding vitamin D has additional benefits on top of standard treatments for that group of patients." They are also replicating the current study in a different cohort of patients to confirm the results.
Vitamin D, in the laboratory, seems to slow cancer cell growth, appears to be involved in programmed cell death, which can kill cancer cells, and may be involved in inhibiting blood vessel growth in tumors. Dr. Ng says, "There are multiple different biological mechanisms by which it could possibly be working in colon cancer. I think the take-home point is that higher vitamin D levels may be associated with better survival among people with colon cancer and further study of vitamin D is definitely needed."

Man of La Mancha
30,623pages on

this wiki
Man of La Mancha is a musical inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote. Designed as a play within a play, Cervantes tells the story the mad knight Don Quixote, while in prison awaiting a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition.
The musical was developed at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut (where over forty years later Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas would debut), and the musical made its bow on Broadway in 1965, winning five Tony Awards and running for six years. It has seen numerous revivals, and has been a staple of high school and community theatre productions across the country. Its signature song, "The Impossible Dream", has become a standard in the American songbook.
- The show was parodied during Season 37 of Sesame Street with "Man of La Muncha" where a child named Johnny sings about eating an "incredible meal" with his family.
- In the waiting area for the Sesame Place stage show Elmo the Musical, a poster hangs for the show "Man of La Muncha."
- Episode 3268 of Sesame Street has Rosita and Telly pretending to be Don Quixote and Sancho Panza (respectively). They sing an adventure song that spoofs the title song of the musical.
- James Coco played Sancho Panza in the 1972 feature film
- José Ferrer played Cervantes (Don Quixote) during the original Broadway run
- Louise Gold played Aldonza in a one off performance at the Colchester Mercury Studio Theatre in August 1999 [1]
- Raul Julia played Cervantes (Don Quixote) in the 1992 Broadway revival
- Brian Stokes Mitchell played Cervantes (Don Quixote) in the 2002 Broadway revival
- Peter O'Toole played Cervantes (Don Quixote) in the 1972 feature film

Review by Carrie Hampton
Legends Lodge (and its sister Narina Lodge just across the river within the Tinga concession of Kruger National Park), allows the world to come to you, even in the heart of the African bush. Satellite TV and isdn internet line satisfy the businessman who needs to keep in touch, while your own sun drenched heated plunge pool and river-view balcony promote necessary relaxation.
Comfy lounge, air conditioning, underfloor heating, heated towel rails and a double shower with jets coming from all angles, complete the comforts you didn't know you needed until you had them. The end of 2004 will also see a Spa and Wellness Centre. They seem to have thought of everything and then doubled it!
Legends Lodge has an eclectic design mix of Afro colonial and classic gentleman's club, with mounted antelope horns, Persian rugs and fine African antiquities. Dark leather sofas contrast with the light wicker terrace chairs and brown chandeliers hang from a high beamed ceiling holding up a pale new thatch. The whole effect is grand and sumptuous yet somehow understated.
The more I looked around to search for the right words to describe this unusual safari lodge in the hubb of Kruger National Park, the more gentlemanly it appeared. After some questioning it turned out that the consortium of owners are all male and had a significant input on the style of the place. It was also revealed that the interior designer (a woman), was unable to finish the commission and another female designer completed the job. This explains the mix of styles that I found so hard to pinpoint - that nevertheless for all its contrasts, works wonderfully and to great effect.
Every part of Legends Lodge has dedicated design features, such as a beautiful dry stone wall around the outdoor dining boma, and rendered walls around the lodge incorporating African swirls into the plasterwork. There is plenty to marvel at Legends Lodge, with a massive wooden dining deck and a quite enormous swimming pool - both with a view of Kruger National Park's Sabi River.
Safari game drives traverse Tinga's own private concession, with access to the rest of Kruger National Park as well. The terrain is varied and fording rivers can be fun (and nigh on impossible in the rainy season). Kruger National Park is famous for having Africa's Big 5, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard, Lion and Buffalo, as well as many other African animals and hundreds of different bird species. The ever-present Lilac Breasted Roller may well become a favourite, as it flashes electric blue underwings every time it flits from one branch to another.
The Tinga Private Game Lodges of Legends and Narina, both have nine luxury suites of a 6 Star standard, and an all inclusive price that reflects this high level of comfort and facilities. The food is exquisite, the wine cellar impressive and the service irreproachable. Honeymooners would be ecstatic to stay here, as would any guest who comes to Kruger National Park for a private guided safari.

He is scheduled to play for Lehigh Valley again tonight and expects to rejoin the Phillies tomorrow, when they play the second of a three-game series against visiting Pittsburgh.
Polanco said he was free of pain for the first time "in almost 2 months."
He called it, "a big relief."

A Marrington Elementary School teacher has been named Berkeley County's top teacher.
Lauren Reeder, 29, was named Teacher of the Year at a Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce breakfast on Friday.
Reeder was selected after she, Carolyn Mullinax of Boulder Bluff Elementary and Heather Ducker of Goose Creek High were named honor roll teachers earlier this month from among the district's school-level teachers of the year.
Reeder said her students "become part of my heart. That is what happens when you become a teacher. You stay late to grade papers. You go in on the weekends to make sure the bulletin board is ready for next week. You go to birthday parties, hug away hurt feelings, and listen to corny popsicle jokes."
And while doing that, "You spend seven hours a day trying to ignite the passion of learning in these children, all the while carefully balancing standards, character, and opening milk cartons," she said.
Reeder, of North Charleston, is in her first year of teaching second grade. She previously taught fifth grade for a year at Marrington and was a math interventionist for a year at Sangaree Elementary. Before that, she was a homeschool teacher for a family in Malawi, Africa, for two years and taught second grade at Woodland Elementary in Greer for three years.
She said she was inspired by her fourth-grade teacher, who showed "patience, love, and kindness toward me in spite of being a trying student.
"I knew in my heart that I wanted to make a difference in children's lives, invest in them and love them just as my teachers had done for me."
As a teacher, she said she will do almost anything to make learning fun.
"There is nothing like seeing a light go off for a child when they finally understand," she sais. "The love for theater and drama that my teachers cultivated plays a part in my classroom every day. If standing on a desk or hanging a bed sheet replica of the Berlin Wall in my classroom inspires my students to learn, then the hours and stress that went into preparing that lesson were worth it."
A graduate of North Greenville University, Reeder spends her summers volunteering with teens at a camp in North Carolina.

Concealed Gun Printing?

I know that there are different laws for each cc state, but if your concealed carry gun "prints", could you face any charges?
Is there any examples of this?

Does not matter one bit here. Statute just references "carry"--open, concealed, under hat or in boat with a goat--it's all good, fershizzle. I believe openly discourages puma and bear attacks here though.

I live in Colorado, which is an open carry state, so I don't worry overmuch whether my concealed revolver is 158.937% concealed. I'm never careless, but I doubt there's much need to be hyper-scrupulous.
Frankly, I think "carry" ought to mean carry however you prefer to carry from coast to coast. I'd carry openly, and pack a bigger revolver more comfortably.
October 4, 2003, 10:00 PM
Given the popularity of such things as PDAs, cell phones and multi-tools, 99.99% of the people that do notice something under your shirt are not going to equate it to a firearm.
October 4, 2003, 10:08 PM
In AZ, no worry.
And if with permit...doesn't have to be a gun. Says "weapon".
I like that.
Well, I would like it better if the states abided by "Shall not be infringed."
Sam I am, green egs n packin.
October 5, 2003, 12:40 AM
In TX if a "reasonable person" can tell you have a gun...it's not concealed.
If it prints and I can tell its a gun. (I'm reasonable :neener: ) You have to try harder.
October 5, 2003, 11:44 AM
With most folks wearing cell phones on their belt I dont think people give a bulge under your shirt a second glance.
Of course if you have a bazooka under your shirt then its a different story:what:
October 5, 2003, 01:33 PM
In TN it does not matter.
October 5, 2003, 03:41 PM
With most folks wearing cell phones on their belt I dont think people give a bulge under your shirt a second glance.
I had a woman at Walmart bump into my Steyr M40 and she said "I hope I didn't damage your cell phone". I just smiled and said "I'm sure its okay ... its been dropped a few times and still works."

Between my cell phone and Leatherman I can probably sneak in something pretty good sized without anyone noticing. Let's hear it for modern technology ;) If it weren't for cellphones and pagers being so cheap (who even has a pager anymore?) stuff sticking off your belt is now the norm :D
Now I just need to get CCW here in KS :rolleyes:
October 5, 2003, 05:13 PM
I've mentioned this elsewhere but ... in PA concealed is supposed to mean concealed ....... there is always a potential for having the permit revoked (like it should even be a ''permit'' anyways) ..... if the piece is seen and then a complaint filed.
However ....... my interpretation of this ... and others think similarly .... is that a clear view of the piece is, obviously ....... a lack of concealment - it is in plain view (like my snub described in the ''CCW screw-up'' thread!:rolleyes: )
OTOH ...... printing is I think not loosing concealment per se... simply ''suggesting'' that a piece might be there. As many have said - cell phones, Leathmen etc ... all contribute to the waistband 'clutter'' .... and many will not know one bulge from another!
The most distinctive part of the gun's anatomy for me is, the butt ... and maybe also the hammer area...... and if my shirt is a tad tight over the area ... or wind pressure flattens the fabric then it will almost certainly print somewhat. To get a complete outline of the piece tho thru printing is I think very unlikely ..... just possibly in a tight pocket.
Perhaps for me the safest carry, where printing is all but impossible, is in my sho rig .. little more than a slight bulge under arm, but my Fobus at 4.30 is still my preferred ... just switched back to P series now.
October 6, 2003, 10:04 AM
What? You mean my Cell Phone Shoulder Holster is gonna be Passee' ?.
In UT..if a reasonable person can tell you have a gun..you have the possibility of getting into trouble.......concealed means just that.
Shoot well.
Island Beretta
October 6, 2003, 12:59 PM
Here in my neck of the beach, people tend to think any bulge is a gun and will look harder. Some even boldly ask you and if you say 'No' they will ask you to prove otherwise. Some even go so far as to touch the spot. :fire:
This is dangerous for us as gunmen target firearm holders.
October 6, 2003, 01:13 PM
Regardless of how different states or localities migiht come down on the issue of "printing" it still remains that concealed ought to means concealed. If you opt to carry concealed then you take on the responsibility of doing whatever it takes to keep your weapon truly concealed. Good shooting);
Double Naught Spy
October 6, 2003, 01:15 PM
I think crotch carry with Thunderwear or Pager Pal might stop a few of those people from touching the bulge.
October 6, 2003, 04:06 PM
I realized this weekend that I'm just going to print.
IWB or OWB I can't seem to keep from printing.
I carry a Sig 239 most of the time but the only way I can think of not printing is to start carrying a pocket pistol of some kind.
October 6, 2003, 05:05 PM
I too Felt the same way, I was Paranoid for a while after getting my CHL, but, I never told any of my close friends that I had obtained it....... after being around them for several months without telling them, not one person ever asked me about what i thought was very noticable. One day I asked a couple of them after we spent all day working on my truck. They told me they would have never known. They were even more shocked after I told them I had been doing it for months. They all now want theirs. My wife never could tell when I asked her before I left the house, and the Only time I have been " made" was when My mom hugged me, she simply said " oh you're packin".... never mentioned it again she knows i have a CHL. My point is this. If people that Know you, close friends, Family don't notice it. A stranger won't either. You see the Print because you know its there...... Good Day

" ... In Florida, at most, you would have an embarrassing encounter with a few LEOs. ... " When I took my CCW class down there several years ago, I was told that the gun had to be "completely invisible". I guess it depends a lot of who you talk to.
October 6, 2003, 11:45 PM
Just a quick note...as a holster maker I get this stuff all of the time. At first you will touch/adjust/rub/touch some more, your gun every day. It will subside as you relax and realize no one knows you are carrying a gun.
Hell half the people you run into may be carrying also.
My daughter of a very wise 7 years old is a bloody pro at spotting weapons..the slightest little line in the right place and shes on you.
After years of having her evaluate me for "printing" for new designs or new guns etc, shes really a pro!
We were at a fast food joint a couple of years ago. In a table next to us were 3 LEO's and a spouse of one of them.
My daughter was having a "fit"..she knows not to say anything to any one...but was truely worried about this cop for some reason. She carefully walks over to him and whispers in his ear. "Your printing when you walk around" He just looks at her shocked...."what do you mean"..."Your snubby in your tuckable is showing...I thought you should know" His eyes went like this :what:
Mind you she was five or maybe just 6 years old. The cop walks over to me and I tell him Im a holster maker and she is very well trained.
He just shook her hand and told her "he hopes she grows up to be one of the good guys"...She said "I already am!"......All I could do was grin the whole way home.............PROUD AS HELL!.....:D
Shoot well
October 7, 2003, 04:37 AM
Good story PCRCCW.
Can anyone tell me about concealing a 10mm Witness? I looked on Cheaperthandirt.com and all they had was a dizzying array of Uncle Mike's holsters, some of which wouldnt hold it.
The Witness is a 10rd 4.5in barrel. I am unsure of the model, as I havent bought it yet. But soon...:)
October 7, 2003, 09:24 AM
Hey Mopar,
Whats your take on printing in Ark?
I interprept the law as only requiring the weapon be covered or concealed. Which goes back to the debate of flap holsters are as concealing as fanny packs.
October 7, 2003, 03:50 PM
Dunno. Not familiar with all of the CCW regs yet. Someone else from AR will more likely have info.

Concept for a game called Acaratus, you can find more informations here:
and here:
Hope you'll like it!

Hope you'll like it!
Epic scene and Good light.
Excellent work!
I like this, the atmosphere is great. I like the way the lighting works, but also mountains themselves, the folds on the caravan's cover, the cloudy sky, and the way the path bends ahead, dotted with the light of other travelers.
This one reminds me of a Diablo 2 trailer. Simply amazing!
nice work
This looks very grand and epic! Reminds me of a scene from a book.
roughly, how long does it take you to finish one of the these? Also, does the image just come to you or do you have to do some "research" before you get a clear vision of what you want to portray?
I think this one took me between 8 and 10hours, maybe a bit less. And yes I usually do some research, gathering references etc, although I didn't looked at enough references for that one Also I like to do small thumbnails to find the right composition. Hope it helps!
loved who you very simply made me wander with my eyes to a very nice sweetspot in your painting. Good werk good sir!
Very cool setting.
Ahhh so much atmosphere... what a brilliant piece, thanks heaps for posting
Damn, nice work. I really, want to see what the inside of the castle looks like
This is just the perfect illustration for Dracula's castle, dark, isolated, a bit creepy. The composition is just perfect ! You are great !
Ahhh the subtle use of lighting.
somehow i am getting a castlevania feelng
bwaaah !! Génial !
awesome men!! looove the lights!!
Brilliant, love the dark mood. And the spires.. has that Dracula horror feel to it.
so awsomly drawn it makes u feel right there and yet as if ur reading a story
Great image. Love the concept and atmosphere.
those mountains were made beautifully, the atmosphere as well was very well executed.
Very Nice ^^
this loooks amazing!
well done
keep it up!
c'est magnifique!
Love IT!!!
This is so gorgeous! I love the moodiness of the whole piece, and the glow of the torches leading up to the castle. And the mountains look so gloomy! Incredible job

agency holiday video worthy of EPIC
THE EPIC SANTA DOG from Whirled Creative on Vimeo.
Many of us have started to hate agency holiday cards, videos, websites, whatever. But this one, no no, this one you CANNOT possibly hate. Santa Dog is everything awesome in one very *ahem* climactic video. Well played Whirled, well played!

To go to the movies, watch 20 in a row and pay for only one ticket. Then you go and brag about it at work.
Score! I went to the theater last night and pulled an alarie. More money for popcorn.

A fresh dusting of snow is telling us that, despite spring-like temperatures over the weekend, winter isn't quite over yet.
The National Weather Service reported several inches of snow adding a touch of white to the green of St. Patrick's Day in a number of places across Pennsylvania.
Observers told the weather service that 3.6 inches fell in Adams County and almost as much in several places of Delaware County.
Two inches fell in Somerset and almost as much in Chester County. A fire department station in the Bridesburg section of northeast Philadelphia reported 2.4 inches of snow.
We are now left to deal with clouds and some sunny breaks. Temperatures will top out in the middle 30s with breezy conditions at times.
Tuesday will feature sunshine and patchy clouds with highs in the lower 40s.
Another system will bring some rain to the region on Wednesday. with highs in the lower 40s once again. Precipitation may start as a bit of freezing rain in the morning.
