Bubble Breaker (Bubble Burst)
By 3asoftware
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Bubble Breaker (also called bubble burst, jawbreaker) is an interesting puzzle game. Select bubbles with the same color and let them burst. The more you break with one click,the higher the score you get. First select a group of bubbles then break them with a click.
The player has four unique game styles to choose from:Standard, Continuous, Shifter and MegaShift.
In the standard mode of the game, the game ends when the player has no more moves left; there are no more like-colored balls adjacent to each other.
Continuous is similar to the standard mode, with one major difference. Whenever the player clears an entire column of balls, a new one arrives from the left side of the game board. New columns can be previewed in a small area at the bottom of the screen. As with the regular standard mode, the game ends when the player runs out of adjacent like-colored balls.
MegaShift is another one of the game styles available for Jawbreaker. The major difference in this mode is the addition of a new column of balls whenever the player manages to clear an entire column of balls from the game board. Balls will always move to the right of the screen if there is space for them to do so. The newly-appearing column of balls can be previewed at the bottom of the screen before they are brought on-board and they appear from the leftmost side of the game board. As with the other modes, the game ends when the player ceases to have any moves left.
Shifter is one of the game styles available for Jawbreaker. This game mode is similar to the MegaShift mode in that balls will tend to gravitate towards the right part of the game board. Unlike MegaShift mode however, the board has a finite number of balls and no new balls arrive to replenish the ones the player clicks off the game board.

horrible update
The update was terrible. The colors were muted, the record keeping was moved to the cloud. Luckily, I still had on one of my pieces of equipment the original version of Bubble Breaker, so I deleted the update from the computer, tethered the equipment that had the original version of Bubble Breaker to the computer and let the original version be reinstalled on my computer. Now I just have to individually downed updates from individual apps rather than doing a collective update. Apple needs to include a button for the user to permanently reject an update.
I love this game but I just updated it on my phone & now whole game has changed. I want the old version back. I hate the new colors of the bubbles, they're not as vibrant as they used to be. The new colors blend together. Not happy.
Not as advertised
Do not waste your money!!!!!!!!! Advertisement makes it look like the fun and addicting game on the blackjack but it is not even close! Horrible waste of money. Only giving one star because I have too, it doesn't even deserve one

Pretty in Pink meets Anna and the French Kiss in this charming romantic comedy
Ella is nearly invisible at the Willing School, and that's just fine by her. She's got her friends - the fabulous Frankie and their sweet cohort Sadie. She's got her art - and her idol, the unappreciated 19th-century painter Edward Willing. Still, it's hard being a nobody and having a crush on the biggest somebody in the school: Alex Bainbridge. Especially when he is your French tutor, and lessons have started becoming, well, certainly more interesting than French ever has been before. But can the invisible girl actually end up with a happily ever after with the golden boy, when no one even knows they're dating? And is Ella going to dare to be that girl?

I did like this one, it was adorable and it did have a moment to appreciate art more. Learning all these facts of art while falling in love with the Ella and Alex. I loved how it all blended together. Jensen did a beautiful job with creating the chemistry between these two characters!! I was rooting for them both until the very end. The Fine Art of Truth or Dare will give you new ideas that will also help you try new things and also temptation from the cool table. I really loved Ella's character, she was strong even after what she went through as a child. She has a deep connection to art because of her research project and ever since she was little, loved local artists. Alex comes to her attention because he forgets his textbook and he also helps her with tutoring with French. I loved their scenes together because despite the class and amount of money his family has he gets to know her, and have the same similarities. He really grows on you once you get to know him. Ella's family is a great supporting characters, loved each one of them because they love Ella for who she is, and they want to encourage her dream of becoming an artist + Italian family (<3) This book is unique and full of culture that it will enchant you and show you that art can bring love together, even french tutoring !! Melissa Jensen is very talented and I look forward to many more books by her. It is a very good novel!! I cant wait to read it again soon!!
The Fine Art of Truth or Dare was just the contemporary novel I needed to take a break from all the dark paranormal novels I've been reading. I know it has been compared to Anna and the French Kiss, and if you know me and have watched my YouTube videos you know how much I love Anna. However I've learnt not to start a book with high expectations because of comparisons to other favorite books or raving reviews, since that always leads to disappointment, and im glad I didn't. While The Fine Art of Truth or Dare was cute and different, it is no Anna and the French Kiss. The story starts off with the protagonist falling in love at first sight with a guy she saw, and at the end of the chapter you find out he's been dead since the late 1800s. It was unexpected but cute, especially the conversations she has with his photo she has up on her bedroom. Of course the real love interest, Alex, is 100% alive and goes to her high school. He is your typical high school guy who is dating the most popular typical mean girl. Alex and her end up spending more time together when her French teacher asks him to be her tutor. I liked how the close proximity between them wasn't forced, that it wasn't a coincidence she met him 10 times a week outside of school. Their conversations are always full of sarcasm and French words that I frankly didn't understand but enjoyed nonetheless. At some point the digging around the dead man's past was getting borderline obsessive and in all honesty I sometimes skimmed through the letters between him and his wife since I really wasn't interested in him. Other than that, I loved the quirkiness of the protagonist, her family and their Italian restaurant, her two best friends and the overall pace of the book. There aren't any dramatic obstacles for them to break through in order to end up together which is refreshing. All in all The Fine Art of Truth or Dare was a laid back, quick read and I really do recommend it to anyone wanting to read a light and fun novel.
I will admit that I liked some of het characters more than others like Ella's Nonna, but Alex I really could not stand. He seemed a bit to worried about what other people thought and that I could not stand. Everthing else worked just fine for me.
This book was really good but it was a little boring during the parts where she would talk to the fake artist ghost. I just with their was a tad bit more romance.
Rating: 3.5 The Low Down: Ella Marino has already met her perfect guy. Artistic like she is, understanding about love, erudite and dead since 1916. So maybe, he's not ideal, but that guy is taken. Alex Bainbridge. Boyfriend of Amanda Alstead. Popular, of course. But Ella has her best friends, Frankie and Sadie, to keep her warm at the "less-popular" table. What more could a girl need? Well, for starters...a passing grade in French. Why does she need a foreign language when she can express herself through art? Unfortunately, Willing (the school, not the dead guy) says she must. So her French teacher assigns a tutor to help her. Of course that tutor turns out to be Alex Bainbridge. What she doesn't expect is how friendly and interested he seems. But Amanda and her sidekicks, Anna and Hannah, are always one step behind Ella, mocking her and calling her Freddy Krueger. Apparently, now everyone knows about her scars from long ago that she tries to keep covered up. And the only person it could be was someone who used to be a friend. It's hard enough trying to stick to the shadows...how can she last in the light? IMHO...: Everyone has scars, with many people's only showing through their behavior. Ella has been trying to hide hers for so long, it is like second nature to her. But what's interesting is not that she has scars, but that she allows them to dictate how she feels about herself; yes, she hides her scars, but she also hides behind them. I read Ms. Jensen's Falling in Love with English Boys first, and I loved how she alternated between current-day and the past. It gave the book a richness and depth that some Young Adult romances lack. This book was similar in that there was the Edward Willing character, though Ella only "knows" him through his writing and art. It, too, added a little something to this story to make it more vibrant and less shallow than your average teen story. The best nickname for Populars appears in this story. Amanda, Anna and Hannah are known as The Hannandas. However, while it is a good book that I enjoyed, it lacked something that was in Falling. A maturity, maybe? It was much more conventional and seemed to skim the surface more than delving beneath the typical. There were so many issues in this story (gay best friend, gay best friend who took a guy to the school dance, physical scars, tight-knit family, family possibly being suffocating and/or embarrassing, being a scholarship kid, dealing with slightly scary woman at art museum, finding out your hero may be human after all, dealing with a friend who does a 180, etc. etc.), but it seems that they were handled a little too simplistically. The Bottom Line: Truth? Definitely a book worth reading; I dare you. The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen was published February 16, 2012 by Speak. Ink and Page picked this book up from the library, so no one had a choice about whether it was reviewed. Genre: Young Adult Fiction Contemporary Romance Ages: 12 and up You Might Want to Know: Some profanity
I don't know. IjustLOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love It! It was a good and fast read. It was hard to put down!! It blended art and love together in a way that most could not think of doing. It also brings in real life in the way that people view others in society by the area that they come from and how much money a person might have.
There are so many things going on in this book that you feel as if you are part of some complex Italian dish. First off you have Fiorella(she goes by Ella) who has a large,loud, but loving family who own a small Italian restaurant in South Philadelphia. Throw in Frankie, Ella's gay but very loyal best friend, Alex, the cute upper crust boy that Ella has feelings for, and the ghost of Edward Willing and you have the main characters of this incredible book. The conversations that Ella has in her head with Edward border on a wild schoolgirl crush, but later you see that really whats happening is she is getting her ideas for her senior thesis. Same thing goes with Ella, she seems to be comfortable being the wallflower, but she finally takes a stab at talking to her long time crush Alex, and along the way we see that Ella isn't shy normally, she's shy because of a terrible accident years earlier that gave her a really dark pigmented scar that she's afraid to let anyone see, much less touch. I love that art plays a big part in the book, and not just about Edward Willing, but many other artists and styles are talked about. In fact the research Ella does in her thesis on Edward is something that anyone can do on other artists to learn more about why they did certain pieces or what the inspiration might have been. The ending was very nice and I really liked how things worked out for everyone. I think that this is perfect for a beach read, or something to kill a few hours with. You will love it, and maybe even want to go see some art because of it.
I Dare You To Read This Book! What I Loved: Truth: Alex is incredibly cute and perfect for a 16-year-old's love story. Truth: The Cover art is absolutely amazing. Truth: I absolutely love Melissa Jensen's writing style. What I Didn't Like: There's not too much to complain about here. My Overall Review: I was way excited to read this book. Another book at the top of my lists is Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins which, without reading it, seems to have a similar feel to The Fine Art of Truth or Dare... and hopefully that review will happen sometime this year. Anyways, I was really looking forward to this book, and that can be a dangerous thing for a book. It is easy to find faults in something that I'm hyped up about, but luckily that is not the story with The Fine Art of Truth or Dare. Ella, or Fiorella (I told you I have a thing for the unusual names), is an absolutely lovable protagonist. She's 16, and despite being in love with a dead guy and having a major crush on the hottest guy in school, has all the insecurities that usually come with being 16 and one of the lower-class kids in an otherwise very privileged-kid school. She, of course, has her small group of friends- who were ok but I could give or take-, and she doesn't always make the right or smart choice. If I had to describe one word for Ella, and this is probably my oldster self-kicking in again, I would say she's very "cute." Alex, her (living) love interest, is- of course- the popular kid, who is also on the lacrosse team (what is it with lacrosse teams? They seem to be the new quarterbacks in literature) and who Ella feels is so out of her league. While Alex's friends are- in the worst sense possible- exactly the mean, rich, stereotyped popular kids that you think of when you think of "the in-crowd," Alex slowly shows Ella, and the reader, that not all rich kids are like that. Does he screw up? He's 16- give him a break! Still, overall I have to say I absolutely adore Alex. And with my opinion of the characters, all that is left is the actual book and writing. Suffice it to say there were many times that I laughed out loud at a quote or found it utterly thought-provoking. I love Melissa Jensen's writing style in The Fine Art of Truth or Dare, and I only wish she'd make a series about Ella and Alex. I know she has other books, but I get attached to characters and it's hard to let truly awesome characters go after just one book. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone that loves young adult or cute, young romances. Disclaimer: I won this book for a contest. I was not asked to provide my opinion, I just did. All thoughts and feelings are my own and I've received no compensation for writing them.
I really enjoyed this book. It was hard for me to put it down and when I did, I was counting the minutes to pick it back up. However, Ella's weird obsession with some dead artist was a little weird for me. Overall I would read this book again and suggest it to others.
This book was...ok?idk i mean i liked it a bit. But Alex was just not what i call prince charming, and she made it sound like he was. Yes, hes cute but he cared to much about his reputation and such. Half the time he was a total snob, i kept liking him less the more i read. Other than that the book was somewhat good. I actually would give this a 2 and 1/2 though.

You can't underestimate the power of music to help you through a breakup. There's a reason why Adele's "Someone Like You" is the most requested song for karaoke fans, despite those high notes. Who hasn't warbled their way through that tear-jerker at one point or another? It's relatable!
So with that in mind, we asked our Twitter and Facebook followers to tell us the one song that kept them going after a split. Their picks included everything from grunge hits by flannel-clad mopers to Mary J. Blige "I'm-better-off-without-you" breakup jams.
Click through the slideshow below to hear their choices, then head to the comments to share the song you couldn't stop listening to after your split.

Sometimes it's better not to know. But sisters Joy and Jessica have no choice, since they were born with the gift of Hearing.
The ability to Hear the thoughts of others has passed down through the family for generations, and the girls have very different feelings about being able to listen to people's most inner desires. Joy, the younger sister, considers her ability a blessing and uses it to grant people's wishes. Jessica thinks her Hearing is a curse and bitterly uses it against others, especially her little sister.
At school, the girls run with two very different crowds. Joy, a people pleaser, has many friends. Jessica, however, has none and is the school freak. As Joy's birthday nears, she fears her nutty sister will ruin her party with her glowering antics.
But it's not Jessica who spoils Joy's big day. Her Hearing changes, intensifies. And she's about to learn something her older sister already knows.
"Get ready. You're about to turn into me."
Joy never really has been able to tap into her sister's thoughts. But when she does catch a Whisper of distress, Joy knows her sister is in trouble. With the help of a male schoolmate, who has his own secrets, Joy sets off in search of her sister, a quest that could change everything.
Phoebe Kitanidis' "Whisper" is an intriguing new addition to the young adult genre — and, hooray, no vampires. Joy comes off as shallow and whiny and Jessica as broody and maybe a bit melodramatic, but the author, of course, leaves the book open to a sequel. Perhaps another book would enable the characters a chance to mature and learn to use their gift in extraordinary ways.
At the least, "Whisper" offers some respite from the glut of blood-sucking novels oversaturating bookshelves.
Sisters' special ability a mixed blessing in 'Whisper'
Sometimes it's better not to know. But sisters Joy and Jessica have no choice, since they were born with the gift of Hearing.

I meant to link to this Jim Treacher post a couple of days ago. He decided to take as inspiration the unsung hero of Animal House. No, not Bluto (language warning):
You know Stork. He's the one who delivered that classic line: "Well, what the hell we s'posed ta do, ya moe-ron?" Stork was the guy who knew when he was beaten and cared enough to speak up about it. Stork gave in when things didn't go his way, and he knew it was an idea worth sharing.
There could be no Bluto without a Stork.
In that spirit, I'd like to propose a new organization for all Republicans and conservatives who never pass up a chance to throw in the towel. I'm calling it the:
Tired &
He goes on. Oh my yes, does he go on. He even has a button; I'd reproduce it here, but I'm not a STORC. In fact... like John Hawkins, I aim to misbehave.

CAMDEN Under a mural of smiling children, local organizations and government agencies tasked with feeding hungry children gathered Monday to talk about the time of year when little stomachs typically grumble the loudest: summer.
The roundtable in Camden's City Council chambers brought together New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher and Audrey Rowe, administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Nutrition and Consumer Service, for a discussion on ways to raise participation in the federally funded Summer Food Service Program.
The USDA's summer program, which has existed in New Jersey for 15 years, reaches only 19 percent of those who qualify in the state and just 14 percent of children nationwide, according to a study done by the Food Research and Action Center, a nonprofit based in Washington. Pennsylvania averages about 21 of every 100 children.

I made this cake for a fundraiser and it brought in $130 in the silent auction!

Giant 3D Cupcake Cake
This. THIS is my favorite type of cake to create!! I just love anything with bright colors... sprinkles... glitter... girly!! The bottom tier was a rainbow colors. Wish I could have cut a slice out of it to show you, but I don't think my customer would have liked it. ;)
Alice In Wonderland cake
Well, this is not a typical cake for me, but a customer requested it so I always try and do what I'm asleep. ;) The cat was the most time consuming and required some air brushing. Also I had to shave the cakes to give them that 'wonky' look. All in all, it was fun and something a little differant than what I'm used to doing!

Clickbait works. Stop clicking on crap and get back to work.
7 things a large stinkbug on the back porch can teach startup founders
7 things a large stinkbug on the back porch can teach startup founders
Should this startup exist? Converting 5W's into existential justification
How to measure the accuracy of forecasts
How do you hold forecasters accountable, when the forecast is only a probability? The answer appears tricky, then simple, then tricky again, then ends up being simple enough to answer it with Google Spreadsheets.
It's a journey worth taking, because building better forecasts is invaluable for businesses:
Take lead scoring — putting a value on a new sales lead, predicting the ultimate value of that lead after 9 months have passed and it's either converted or not. The forecast is what chance this lead has of converting, or what dollar value it has. Like the weather, the lead will convert or it won't, and if it does, it has a definite dollar value.
If you could predict the chance that a given customer might churn in the next thirty days, you could be proactive and perhaps avert the loss.
If you could predict the chance that a given customer would be amenable to an upgrade, you could focus your internal messaging efforts accordingly.
But how do you measure the accuracy of a prediction which itself is expressed only as a probability?
Invention is Drudgery
Having skipped to the last page of other peoples' book, we forget that everyone has to take the journey described by the whole book. So we feel bad about ourselves when we're only on Chapter Four, having already toiled quite a lot thank you very much for asking, and when exactly are we going to get to the good part?
Darwinian company growth doesn't always select the best companies
"Survival of the fittest" is not the same thing as "survival of the best," though not apparent at first glance.
There's nothing inherently wrong in obsessing over growth; in fact, using the same argument you can point out that in winner-take-all markets, growth is objectively the main requirement.
The problem is "growth at all costs." When "growth rate" becomes essentially the only important metric for company "fitness," other metrics are left unsolved.
Your non-linear problem of 90% utilization
Does it feel like everyone is working very hard, all the time, and yet accomplishing 1/10th of what it seems they should? Maybe this is why.
How do I figure out who my next important hire should be?
Founders typically revert to whatever they're already expert in, and decide they need more of that. So, a technical founder decides she needs another developer, or a sales-oriented founder decides she needs another sales person.
Let's highlight the underlying justification you'll use to rationalize this probably-erroneous decision, so we can see how to avoid the fallacy.
Refutation: An acquisition is always a failure
Not all acquisitions go well. Sometimes the product is ruined, sometimes the culture is annihilated, sometimes jobs are destroyed, sometimes it's an unmitigated disaster.
Of course, that same thing happens to independent companies. People love quoting (presumably made-up) stats about how most acquisitions are failures, but they forget to mention that most independent startups also fail.
Balance is weak. Tension is strong.
When you fire a gun you pull with one hand while pushing with another because in tension there is stability. A pull-up bar in a doorframe can hold 200 pounds because it's in tension, not in balance. Ethernet contains a pair of wires twisted together, with electrons moving in opposing directions, because their opposing magnetic fields cancel either other but also act as a shield to foreign fields that would otherwise disrupt the electrons' movements.
It's often said that "extremes are bad" and thus you should "seek balance." But balance is fragile; it's the wrong thing to seek.
Why it's nice to compete against a large, profitable company
A big, profitable company seems like the hardest thing for a small company to compete against. They have everything: money, brand, momentum, existing customers, press, product teams, distribution channels, expertise, market insight, analysts, sales offices, product features, and, by definition, a working business model.
All the little startup has is a decent idea and extremely greasy elbows.
But David has a clear path to slaying Goliath.
Zero-sum marketing channels: Good or bad for a startup to pursue?
You might conclude that it's wise to try to win zero-sum games, because there's "double" value. That is, not only do you get the sale, also all your competitors don't. But, especially with auction-style zero-sum games, this means paying top-dollar. Even then, the available inventory is limited, e.g. the top few slots in AdWords or SEO.
Whereas if you invest in non-zero-sum channels like social media, or long-tail SEO, or brand-building, or content, or resellers, the limit of the channel is closer to the limit of the market itself, rather than the sliver of the market which might reach you via a single advertising channel.
On the value of Judgement
We're told not to judge, lest we be judged.
But we are judged, by our customers choosing between us and a competitor, by our employees choosing whether to entwine their careers with our fate, by our peers, allies, and passive-aggressive antagonists on social media.
Rather than avoid judgement as a sin, we should invest in it as a skill.

Here's Video of the Ai Weiwei Vase Smashing
You've heard about it nonstop for the past 30 hours. Now you can actually see it.
Someone somehow captured video of the exact moment local artist Maximo Caminero picked up an Ai Weiwei vase at Pérez Art Museum Miami and smashed it in an ill-thought-out protest. He's incredibly nonchalant about the whole thing, too.
Caminero picks up the vase, drops it, and then casually put his hands in his pockets.
The video cuts off before security confronts him.

Kung-fu Master!
Dir. Agnes Varda (1989). Varda's disturbing flick is the account of a brief, doomed love affair between a 15-year-old boy and a divorced independent 40-year-old woman. The boy, one of the woman's daughter's schoolmates, a loner who feels left out of his adolescent society, is played by the director's own son, Mathieu Demy, and the picture was co-written by Jane Birkin, who plays the older woman. It's quite moving and draws a delicate line between the pure and the profaneexactly how far the relationship goes in a physical sense is never exactly spelled out.

Jeanette Wynn wasn't going to the inauguration. Typically she goes to Washington, D.C. on business at least four or five times a year, and she wasn't up for the crowds or congestion. And she had attended the inaugurations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Wynn is president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. She currently represents about 125,000 Floridians from Pensacola to Tallahasee who work in state, county and municipal governments, as well as university employees and a limited number of hospital workers. She is also international vice president of AFSCME, which represents about 150 million people worldwide.
She is no stranger to politics and worked in the Obama campaign by organizing Operation Big Vote, the Democratic Party's Election Day push to get voters to the polls.
"There were so many people who worked to get Obama elected so I just didn't worry about going. It crossed my mind but only briefly," she said.
Getting her there was on someone's mind because a few weeks after the election, large white envelopes started arriving from the inaugural committee, the Democratic Party of Florida and the office of Sen. Bill Nelson. Before she knew it, Wynn had invitations to and seats at the public concert, the Southern Ball, the reception given by Rep. Corrine Brown (D.-Jacksonville) and the offer of a special viewing spot in the Senate office building from Nelson.
Wynn and her aide had a room waiting for them at the Washington Hilton, only a block and a half from the Senate building.
"When we arrived, a packet containing all of our credentials was at the front desk. Everything we needed was in the packet, because you had to show different colors of passes as you made your way to the different events and there were a lot of checkpoints. You had to show your invitation and credentials before they would even allow you to go on to the next checkpoint area. There were excellent directions to everything from the moment I stepped out of the hotel," she said.
But even the best-laid plans hit a few glitches periodically. Wynn said that on the day of the inauguration she stepped out of the hotel at 8:30 a.m and, like everyone else, she was greeted with bitter cold. She decided to take a taxi but couldn't get very far because many of the streets were blocked and she didn't want to walk.
"We got out of the taxi and got into a rickshaw. The driver took us as close as he could and we had to walk about what seemed like a mile," she said.
"People were so nice and respectful. It was a great event and I'm really happy that I decided to go," she said.

Good day to you all!
I'm pretty fresh in this game of Bayesian stats, MCMC and JAGS. I'm currently working on some modelling of soccer results and have come across the following problem:
I have 6 vars that are all known a priori to be in the interval [0,1] and 1 var that is known a priori to be in the interval [0,>. They all need to be strictly positive!
passPrecision ~ dgamma(200, 1) aerialPrecision ~ dgamma(50, 1) contestPrecision ~ dgamma(25, 1) possessionPrecision ~ dgamma(100, 1) shotsPrecision ~ dgamma(0.05, 1) attackPrecision ~ dgamma(39, 1) defensePrecision ~ dgamma(39, 1) passSuccess[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.78, passPrecision)T(0,1) aerialSuccess[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.5, aerialPrecision)T(0,1) contestSuccess[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.5, contestPrecision)T(0,1) possession[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.5, possessionPrecision)T(0,1) shots[t, 1] ~ dnorm(10.51, shotsPrecision)T(0,) attackEff[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.5, attackPrecision)T(0,1) defenseEff[t, 1] ~ dnorm(0.5, defensePrecision)T(0,1) passSuccess[t, s] ~ dnorm(passSuccess[t, (s-1)], passPrecision)T(0,1) aerialSuccess[t, s] ~ dnorm(aerialSuccess[t, (s-1)], aerialPrecision)T(0,1) contestSuccess[t, s] ~ dnorm(contestSuccess[t, (s-1)], contestPrecision)T(0,1) possession[t, s] ~ dnorm(possession[t, (s-1)], possessionPrecision)T(0,1) shots[t, s] ~ dnorm(shots[t, (s-1)], shotsPrecision)T(0,) attackEff[t, s] ~ dnorm(attackEff[t, (s-1)], attackPrecision)T(0,1) defenseEff[t, s] ~ dnorm(defenseEff[t, (s-1)], defensePrecision)T(0,1)
The model fails (offcourse) to run whenever a negative sample is drawn from any of the distributions. Above I have tried truncating the distributions by using the JAGS T(,) construct, but that results in samples that are strictly increasing (rather than being randomly drawn from the distribution). I have read the JAGS manual about censoring, but I don't quite get the idea. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Devil's Rejects, The – 2-Disc SE
Sheriff John Quincy Wydell and his Texas State Police assistents arrive at the Firefly family and start shooting the house down after a first warning. Otis and his sister Baby manage to escape and warn their father, Captain Spaulding/Jack Cutter. They agree to meet each other at a desolate motel and when Spaulding appears they'll head off to a safehouse owned by Spaulding's half brother Charlie Altamont. Wydell's people have captured Mother Firefly during the raid and she tells Wydell what happened with his brother George. This makes him insane of rage and he heads off for a full frontal attack on the Firefly's, taking justice in his own hands.
Sound and Vision:
Although the movie was originally shown in theaters in 1.85:1, the dvd contains an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Luckily this doesn't cause any problems and we get good contrast, amount of detail and depth. Overall, the image has a very 70s look that perfectly fits the movie and although there's constantly some intentional grain present there's nothing that brings down the viewing experience.
We get a Dolby Digital 5.1 EX track as well as a standard DTS one. Both tracks fit perfectly and create a tension-filled atmosphere. All channels are well used and there's plenty of bass when necessary.

– Bloody Stand-up: one of the actors does some stand up comedy during shooting
The Devil's Rejects is the sequel to Rob Zombie's "The House of 1000 Corpses" and has a very 70s atmosphere that perfectly fits the movie. We get to check out what can be seen as a combination between roadmovie and gore horror with a touch of Sam Peckinpah and cool western. Bullets and blood fly around like never before and the whole is nicely supported by music that endulges you even further in the movie. The acting is terrific and it's clear that there are no heroes in this film. All characters are bad and the end game delivers everyone what they had coming. Great stuff! Of course, I'm sure not everyone will love The Devil's Rejects as it's targeted towards a very specific audience and the general public will clearly have a problem with all the gore, blood and violence that's portrayed. I on the other hand liked it a lot.
Paradiso has released the Uncut Version with a beautiful steelbook case that contains 2 discs with a couple of extras that fans will appreciate. One minor downpoint is that the bitrate for both image and sound could have been improved. All in all it's still a very good package though.

Get Ready for PT PlayFest 20!
March 3rd-13th – Tickets On Sale Below!
In addition to six premieres by local artists, two notable national playwrights will be workshopping their full-length plays in progress. In Richard Dresser's War Stories, Master Sergeant Boyd Cassidy, a Vietnam vet, is in a high-end Phoenix hotel to finally receive the recognition he deserves after years of turmoil—until a knock at the door sends him into a horror more profound than anything he faced on the battlefield. Linda Dowdell and Denise Winter team up to create Port Townsend's Christmas Carol: A Ghostly Musical. When Victorian Port Townsend's most enterprising proprietress is visited by ghosts from her past and future, questions of conscience, family and community arise.
KCPT's featured guest playwright this year is Darrah Cloud, whose play The Posthumous Democrat, the dramatic story of a composer, Catherine Starr, whose famous, connected conservative father leaves her a legacy both enormous and crippling, will be showcased on Festival Weekend.
Among the scripts receiving Working Drafts readings is, a new event this year, regional playwright Duane Kelly's full-length play Escorting Tom in which Carol will be leaving her inept and isolated husband, but her secret plan to help him survive without her goes wildly off the rails.

Michelle Obama campaigns for husband in Florida
MIAMI LAKES, Fla. - First lady Michelle Obama told supporters she is fired up and urged them to "get it done in Florida," during a sweep through the state Tuesday.
Obama's trip marked her first official public campaign jaunt through Florida this year. She has come previously to promote her work as first lady and to attend private fundraisers.
Obama was in full campaign mode as she highlighted her husband's efforts to create more jobs before a packed audience at the Barbara Goleman Senior High School gym in the western Miami suburb of Miami Lakes. She also touted the president's signature health care law, which she emphasized has increased affordable, preventative care for many, as well eased access to contraception for women and enabled more than 6 million young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance.
Obama urged everyone in attendance to register to vote and make sure their neighbors registered as well.
"Multiply yourselves," she said.
"Let me ask you one more question?" the first lady said as she finished her speech. "Are you all in? `Cause I'm in. I'm so way in, and I am so fired up."
Obama received a roaring affirmative from the more than 1,000 grassroots supporters.
Clara Gabriel, 49, a Broward County school teacher, was among those who signed up to volunteer with the campaign after the first lady's speech.
Gabriel, a native of Haiti, voted for President Obama in 2008, but like several others in attendance Tuesday, she did not get involved with the campaign during the last election.
"It's very different this time," she said. "I don't want him to lose. There is much more he needs to do, and I feel I have to do my part now."
The first lady headed to Orlando Tuesday afternoon. Before speaking before about 2,000 supporters at the University of Central Florida, she joined an exercise class for grade-school-age children at a nearby YMCA. Dressed in sneakers and capris, she joined the children in an energetic game of tag.

By ANNA KISSELGOFF
Published: July 12, 1987
IT IS A VERY DIFFERENT BOLSHOI Ballet - boasting a dazzlingly talented new generation of dancers - that has arrived on our shores for a two-month national tour, the first since 1979. Yet, it is also the Bolshoi, more than any other company, that fits the old French saying that the more things change, the more they remain the same.
The mighty Moscow company, despite the changes it displays on each visit, remains recognizably itself. Of course, we expect its dancers to dance big, to be flamboyant and extra bold. But these have not been consistent features, as the 1979 tour proved. The Bolshoi's basic ingredients can be summed up as dramatic expressiveness, theatricality and bravura technique.
Not all these elements are combined in equal proportion by other ballet companies in the world, not even by other Soviet ballet companies. The Kirov Ballet in Leningrad, the Bolshoi's great rival, certainly does not emphasize dramatic expressiveness to the same degree within classical dancing.
Realism at the Bolshoi, academic purity at the Kirov. That is the stereotyped equation between the two that has come down in ballet history in both East and West. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in between - especially since 1964 when the Kirov-trained choreographer, Yuri Grigorovich, became the Bolshoi's artistic director and chief choreographer.
The realism at the base of the Bolshoi tradition did not begin with the Soviet policy of Socialist Realism in the 1930's. If 19th-century French choreographers had the upper hand within the Maryinsky Ballet, as the Kirov was then known, the Bolshoi's style by the early 20th century was formed by more theatrically oriented Italian and Russian choreographers. To understand the Bolshoi, one has to mention names like Aleksandr Gorsky, the Maryinsky-trained rival to Marius Petipa and Michel Fokine, who was the Bolshoi's major creative figure until the 1920's. Mention should also be made of two dancers and choreographers important to Western ballet's development: Mikhail Mordkin and Leonid Massine. Mordkin, Anna Pavlova's Bolshoi-trained partner abroad and Lucia Chase's teacher in New York, founded the company that became the nucleus of Ballet Theater in 1939. Considered the major Western choreographer of the 1930's and 40's, the Bolshoi-trained Massine created works for many companies, including the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and Ballet Theater.
As George Balanchine's neo-classical esthetic gained ascendancy after the 1950's in the West, it was easy to forget that Mordkin's own stagings came out of the Bolshoi tradition and that Massine's character-dance style owed a lot to his training as an actor in the Bolshoi Theater's drama school. Even American ballet has Moscow roots.
These thoughts came to mind after the recent American premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House of ''The Golden Age,'' which Mr. Grigorovich created in 1982, using a score by Dmitri Shostakovich from a 1930 ballet of the same title. In this new production, we see a variation of the Massine method. Realism has been sublimated, and a story is told completely through stylization and characters who are types.
It is an approach that works perfectly when evoking a historical period that contained a great deal of stylization within itself - namely, the 1920's. This is not to say that Mr. Grigorovich has produced a Massine ballet. A main difference is his use of the athletic and acrobatic style that developed in the Soviet Union after 1917; the content is also purely Soviet.
But the key to ''The Golden Age'' lies in its stylization, which is what gives the ballet its coherence. This stylization itself is inspired by the experimental art and theater that developed in the Soviet Union during the 1920's. Interestingly, it was a time when abstraction lived side by side with realism, poster art and caricature.
The inventiveness with which Mr. Grigorovich has captured the pictorial quality of this era in his choreography is seen in a gang of thieves that chases repeatedly after its victims in the second and third acts. The steps and patterns are broad, deceptively simplistic. These are cartoon characters brought to life and defined, in both motion and stillness, by characterizing detail. With their Dead End Kids caps and striped shirts, the six robbers are seen in flattened silhouettes in moments of pursuit or stealth. There is a great deal of hidden virtuosity here. The men must keep their arms bent up, locked into menacing gestures, and must keep their torsos tilted in the low running leaps that Mr. Grigorovich uses so expressively to create an action-packed illusion. If one finger or arm were held haphazardly, the entire image of the character would collapse. ''The Golden Age,'' which looks simple, comes out of complex sources. Only the plot is straightforward. In a Soviet seaport in the 1920's (somewhat reminiscent of the Odessa of Isaak Babel's stories) Boris, a fisherman, falls in love with Rita, a nightclub dancer. Yashka, her partner, heads the gang and accidentally kills his jealous flapper moll, Lyuska. Boris's friends, members of a Communist Youth brigade who put on agitprop shows, celebrate Rita's rejection of her old life in a nightclub called the Golden Age.

Many girls that know they've herpes still opt to possess a C-section, even when they aren't having an outbreak. I must state that I feel extremely sorry for Danielle Staub's daughters if the sex tape is released, but I don't believe it's planning to hurt her all that much. When cells are examined a few days later under the microscope, changes to the cells will indicate the growth in the herpes virus. I weren't required to be back to operate until Tuesday, so attempted to spend the weekend getting better. My Shingles started with uncontrollable itching on my thigh for more than 24 hours.
Such an unpredictable nature of the herpes virus makes genital herpes treatment more difficult and challenging than some from the other STD treatments. Over-the-counter pastes like Orabase, Aphthasol and Lidex or Vanos can relieve pain and encourage healing. Shingles characteristically appear as vesicles or blisters that in most cases I have seen appearing throughout the waist, spine and sides first. I contacted the property owner we were buying from who now begun to give us a hardcore time. I learned the tough way, what to do or otherwise not do to hold shingles at bay.
In rare cases, the hsv simplex virus can lead to complications like encephalitis, which is surely an inflammation in the brain. A relatively new strategy to get shingles treatment is through the Lidoderm patch, containing lidocaine and treats the pain sensation from the tips from the nerves providing relief fast. These herbs be more effective when used correctly and cautiously. He was no more eligible for transplant until after his Shingles went away. It is often a common type of virus that's very contagious.
The probability of side effects is generally higher for the initial time users. Nevertheless, HSV1 might cause genital herpes and HSV2 may cause cold sores. Valacyclovir - 1000 mg orally twice each day for 7 to 10 days. Thus, there is really a high risk of a sore outbreak inside the future. I have first started wearing regular clothes for longer periods of time (as opposed to light weight pajama bottoms).
Here are merely the most shocking side-effects listed for 10 prescribed drugs that ranked in America's Top 20 in 2009. Information on how to make use of Valtex can be found at ' or by speaking having a doctor or pharmacist. Ramsey Hunt Syndrome can be an infection of facial nerve tissuethat manifest in an unpleasant rash, and weakness of facial muscles. Some of the cold sore remedies are actually discussed below. I've had genital Herpes for 60 years, and also have never infected someone else to my knowledge.

De Novo Liver Tissue Formation in Rats Using a Novel Collagen-Polypropylene Scaffold
Abstract:In experimental and clinical settings hepatocyte transplantation has provided limited benefit to patients with chronic liver disease because the transplanted hepatocytes were short-lived and were merely maintained for a brief period within the body. Except for whole-liver transplantation, creation of de novo liver tissue is necessary to treat this condition on a long-term basis. The aim of this study was to facilitate the formation of new tissue by actual self-regeneration, rather than by compensatory hypertrophy, or scar formation, with our collagen-polypropylene composite scaffold. Collagen-polypropylene composite scaffolds, not containing hepatocytes, were implanted into the median liver lobe and the dynamics of new liver tissue formation was analyzed immunohistochemically over a 6-month period. Control scaffolds consisted of polypropylene scaffolds without collagen matrix. The control scaffold implants remained hollow throughout the study period and became encapsulated with a hard connective tissue capsule 1 week after implantation. In contrast, the collagen-polypropylene composite scaffold was filled with regenerating tissue structures 3 weeks after implantation. At this time, the predominant cell type within the scaffold was sesmin-positive stellate cells. A week earlier, oval cells were identified using monoclonal antibody staining (OV-6). Subsequently, these cells differentiated into α-fetoprotein-positive immature hepatocytes. After 6 months, mature liver tissue, juxtaposed with bile ducts and blood vessels, was seen within the polypropylene scaffolds. We report the first evidence of de novo formation of liver tissue within a polypropylene scaffold, following implantation in the liver. This scaffold may play a role in treating chronic liver diseases requiring organ replacement therapy.

Basic clinical studies and immunological research papers are also featured. To provide complete coverage of this revolutionary field, Cell Transplantation will report on relevant technological advances, and ethical and regulatory considerations of cell transplants. Cell Transplantation is now an Open Access journal starting with volume 18 in 2009, and therefore there will be an inexpensive publication charge, which is dependent on the number of pages, in addition to the charge for color figures. This will allow work to be disseminated to a wider audience and also entitle the corresponding author to a free PDF, as well as prepublication of an unedited version of the manuscript.

text: 000 FXUS61 KLWX 211413 AAA AFDLWX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1013 AM EDT Wed Sep 21 2016 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will build over the region through Thursday. A cold front will move through the area Saturday. High pressure builds again over the region early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... GFS not doing particularly well with extent of high clouds this morning. ECMWF and HRRR simulated cloud imagery doing much better and have followed their output closely. Expect current extent of high clouds to remain pretty much as is through midday with thining of high clouds in the afternoon and clouds shifting south and east by evening. Adjusted temps a bit based on model trends from ECMWF indicating a 2-3 deg rise from yesterday in the east with temps west of the Blue Ridge not showing any trend at all from yesterday. Showers to graze southern St. Marys county through the day with precip shifting south tonight. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Onshore NEly flow persists Thursday with above normal temperatures, mid 80s, under mostly sunny skies as cloud shield looks to be along southern periphery of the CWA. Surface high pressure settles south over the area Friday with sunny skies and light/variable winds. Maxima mid to upper 80s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... A transition to autumn weather will occur over the weekend after a cold front tracks down from the north Saturday afternoon. This is a dry trajectory...so don`t expect much if any rainfall with this system. After reaching 80 degrees Saturday it does not appear the area will be seeing that for the next several days. Sunday highs will likely only reach the mid 70s but the real story will be Sunday night/Monday morning when lows east of the mountains will drop into the lower 50s...and likely 40s in the Highlands. By Tuesday some warming to the atmosphere should take place ahead of a cold front. This will likely provide the next chance for rain to the Mid Atlantic. In somewhat of a coincidence..at IAD both since Sep 1 and Jan 1 the precipitation departure from normal is -2.21". && .AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... High cloud shield persists over the area from low pressure lingering along the NC coast. This is limiting fog development across the DC metros. Best fog chance through sunrise is at MRB though high clouds are currently over that area too. VFR conds prevail through Friday high pressure slowly settles south over the area. VFR conditions expected this weekend. && .MARINE... NEly flow 10-15kt down the main portion of the Bay through Thursday as low pressure lingers along the Carolina coast. Weak Nly flow Thursday night through Friday as high pressure settles south over the area. Winds could increase to near SCA values near/behind a cold front Saturday into Sunday. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Elevated water levels persist through the rest of the week due to low pressure off the Carolina coast. Coastal flooding threat is low through Friday. && .LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... DC...None.
