Broadcast pioneer dies at the age of 89
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A pioneer in the Tri-Cities' broadcasting history has passed away.
Hanes Lancaster, Jr. died Monday morning at his home.
Lancaster and his father, Hanes, Sr., put WJHL television on the air in 1953. Those familiar with the station say Hanes Lancaster, Jr. convinced his father, at the time a radio station owner, that television was the wave of the future.
It's been just over 60 years since the station signed on.
Hanes Lancaster, Jr. was 89 years old.

With typhoon in town, department stores open late
CNA Thursday, July 24, 2014, 12:08 am TWN
TAIPEI--Most department stores in Taiwan decided to open their doors a few hours later than normal on Wednesday as many parts of the island were still feeling the effects of Typhoon Matmo.
The eye of the storm exited Taiwan early Wednesday from Changhua County about four hours after making landfall in eastern Taiwan, but strong winds and heavy rains continued to pound Taiwan during the morning, with most people staying indoors.
The Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store (新光三越百貨) chain said all 13 of its stores around the country would open at 1:30 p.m. instead of the normal 11 a.m. The chain operates branches in Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.
Taipei 101 Mall (台北101), a favorite destination of many Chinese tourists, announced it was opening at noon rather than the normal 11 a.m., while Miramar Entertainment Park (美麗華百樂園), located in Dazhi in the northern part of Taipei will open at 1 p.m., two hours later than usual.
Q Square (京站時尚廣場), which is adjacent to the Taipei Main Station, put off its opening time to noon from 11 a.m., but some restaurants in the mall maintained their normal business hours.
Hankyu Taipei Opens at Noon
Hankyu Department Store (統一阪急百貨) announced that its Taipei outlet will not open until noon, an hour later than usual, but that its Kaohsiung branch opened on time at 11 a.m.
The Pacific Sogo Department Store (太平洋崇光百貨) chain said that its Kaohsiung store will open two hours later at 1 p.m., but that its other branches around Taiwan opened at 11 a.m. as usual. The chain runs stores in Taipei, Chungli, Hsinchu and Kaohsiung.
The Far Eastern Department Store (遠東百貨) chain said its store in Hualien in eastern Taiwan will open at 2 p.m., three hours later than normal, because that part of the country was among the hardest hit by the storm.
The two Far Eastern stores in Banqiao in New Taipei were to open an hour later than usual at noon, while the chain's other stores around the country opened on schedule at 11 a.m.
Unlike other department store operators, the Breeze Group (微風集團) said its four shopping centers in Taipei opened at their normal times.
Breeze Center on Fuxing South Road and the Breeze Nanjing mall on Nanjing East Road both opened at 11 a.m., while the Breeze Zhongxiao, on Zhongxiao East Road, opened at 11:30 a.m. and the Breeze Taipei Station outlet opened at 10 a.m. as usual.

Puppy Gets Car Sick
Hello! New here to the forum and and a proud new owner of a 13 week old male German Shepherd named "Rolen". Looking for possible suggestion on how to help me with this problem.
Shortly after loading Rolen in the car after picking him up, he began to drool like crazy and ultimately threw up in the car. Ok, I was thinking no big deal. Then the following day coming home from the Vets office, same thing, he began drooling and then threw up. This has happened all 3 times he's been in the car. Curious about if anyone else has experienced this.
Could it because his ears are not fully developed yet and it's throwing off his equilibrium?
Today, I tried to walk him around the car to slowly introduce him to it, but he doesn't want to get very close now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You.
Did you talk to your vet about this? If not, maybe you should.
This is my opinion. It's common for dogs to get car sick/motion sick. It's not something they are generally used to. Your pup may also be nervous.
Both of my guys dislike car rides, I can look at their faces and tell that they are feeling nauseous.
Spend short durations in the car without going anywhere. Make if fun, happy voice, treats etc. Work up to very short rides...a block and back, again making if fun. Pup should eventually get use to it and enjoy car rides. Take baby steps and don't do too much to fast.
Congrats on your pup! We'd love to see pictures. :)
Ginger tea helps with motion sickness. My bird used to be sick in the car, and upon advice of a pet owner, I offered him ginger tea (ginger slices steeped in hot water, then cooled) about 30 mins before we hit the road. It worked, no more chunky bunkies. I also heard of feeding gingersnaps as well.
Good luck, and congrats on your puppy.
My girl threw up her first few car rides while in her crate at 16 weeks. Now at 13 months, she's had no issues since the first few incidents. I believe they get used to it.
thanks for the suggestions! I did speak with the vet and they told me that same thing. start small with putting them in the car. the next day back out the driveway. the following day go around the block etc.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the President… dressed like Boba Fett and balancing on a bird-shaped plane.
So, the Saints have returned, only this time it's a little different. You're back in the purple shoes of the leader of the Saints, but you have a new job title: President of the United States of America. You have moved into the White House and Keith David (playing himself) is now your Vice-President. Oh, and you're about to end world hunger, or cancer. What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately for the Saints, and Earth, a race of aliens known as the Zin invades, led by a 10ft tall, Shakespeare-quoting, amour-clad pink sociopath called Zinyack who doesn't particularly like you very much. After a series of events that include pancakes, a rocket launcher and a yellow sweater-vest, he sends you back to the city of Steelport from Saints Row the Third. More accurately: you're sent to a Matrix-style simulation of Steelport that has undergone a fairly radical make-over by Zinyack, who is clearly a fan of Blade-Runner. You can see that something is different in the city. Textures will randomly pixelate, lines of code will drip down walls, pedestrians will blur and shape shift, and you can leap tall buildings in a single bound whilst wearing nothing but a towel and listening to The Boys are Back in Town.
The story that opens the game, while hilarious, is there to give you one thing: Superpowers. This is the big change in the franchise. By collecting pieces of code around the city and completing missions, you will be able to increase your ability to break the rules of the system, which in turn allows you to jump over houses and run faster than a car. You can glide over enemies or freeze them in place, set them on fire or throw a car at them with your mind. With great power comes great fun.
If you're new to the franchise then Saints Row may take a little explaining. It started out as a GTA clone and while Saints Row 2 improved upon the formula, the game faced the ongoing question; "If you have GTA 4, why settle for less with a copy"? It wasn't until Saints Row the Third that it finally found its place. Dripping with satire, it gave you a new city to play in, along with a brilliantly written story that made you smile for the entire length of the game, and more toys than you knew what to do with. Taking this new tone and running with it, Volition then began working on a standalone expansion with superpowers and a simulated city that has since grown into Saints Row IV.
You feel the connection with Saints Row the Third from the moment you start playing. The game's engine is the same, the character creator is the same, the characters look identical, and you spend the majority of your time in a city you already know well from the previous title. This could understandably leave people thinking that they are being asked to pay £40 for an overblown DLC, but Saints Row IV is so full of new jokes, toys, clothes and content that it feels like a full game. Zinyack has removed all traces of your previous exploits and replaced them with neon towers that stretch up to the clouds, alien police cars and, of course, banners and statues of himself. This makes exploring the city interesting. You can see what has been changed, destroyed, or just comically adjusted, which makes a familiar city instantly intriguing again.
The structure of the story has changed too. Instead of an overly purple crib in the penthouse of a tower in Steelport, your base is now a Mass Effect style spaceship. It is here that you go for your main missions that can vary from destroying an army of aliens in virtual Steelport, to completing 1980's style text-based adventure games or rescuing your "Homies" from their own uniquely hilarious simulation-jails. Each Homie you rescue is then available on your spaceship to give you missions and aid you in Steelport, or you can just talk to them and, in true Mass Effect fashion, "romance" any of them… except Keith David. Keith David is out of your league.
Along with the absurdly brilliant new campaign, the minigames that fill the city have returned again and are more ridiculous than ever. From challenges to see how much damage you can do in 2 minutes with a UFO, to destroying as many cars as you can with a gun that makes black-holes, you will be leveling the city in the most over-the-top ways you can manage. The fan-favourite "insurance-fraud" returns too. The aim of the game is to throw yourself at a car and injure yourself to earn money. As you can now throw yourself over 500ft you are not likely to tire of this quickly. The range of guns has also been increased and you can now customise their appearance so that your pistol looks like Han Solo's blaster, or your rocket launcher looks like a guitar case. There are also ridiculous new guns like the Inflate-O-Ray, which expands people until they burst, or the now infamous Dubstep Gun, which attacks people with the power of Wub. You don't particularly need to use any of the crazy new toys because your powers have turned you into a living weapon, but Saints Row gives them to you anyway, simply because they are fun.
The true joy of the game is the dialogue. From the constant mutterings of your character to the wit bursting from the cutscenes, you will be smiling every time someone opens their mouth. The game is fantastically voiced too. The ability to choose your voice has returned with a new addition; you will not regret picking this voice. This is all backed by a brilliantly eclectic collection of music. Varying from Dubstep to classical or 80's Rock, you can chose your favourites and add them to a mix tape to perfectly score your absurd adventures.
Ultimately, it turns out that having foundations in Saints Row the Third is one of IV's biggest assets. Spending 40+ hours driving around Steelport in the previous game means that when you start to play this game and gain the ability to leap from one island to the next it feels like you are breaking the rules of the system. You can still use cars. You can still go to the airport and steal a plane. You don't need to; there is no reason for you to do this other than the fact that it's great fun. You can upgrade your cars or barrel-roll a jet and none of this has any more relevance to the story than your ability to dress up as a toilet and hover in the corner and listening to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, it's just more options in one of the most freeing and ridiculously enjoyable games ever made. It doesn't take itself seriously. It doesn't take you seriously. It does seem to take Keith David seriously.
Saints Row IV is all about having as much fun as possible and, by giving you superpowers in a fully functioning city that wasn't designed with powers in mind, it gives you the freedom to whatever you want to… however absurd. You won't be thinking this when you're playing it though. You'll be too busy standing on the middle of a bridge whilst dressed as Gandalf and trying to let no-one pass.

What if you cannot get a job because a criminal record? If no one will hire you, does that affect how Social Security will view your disability case?
I have a felony record from a stupid thing I did years ago. I did my time and I have not gotten in trouble since. When I was younger I did jobs that did not require a background check. Now, I'm older and I can't do construction work any more. But I can't get lighter work because I can't get hired because of my record.
This is truly a "between a rock and a hard place" situation. There is no doubt that a criminal record affects an individual's ability to get hired for jobs. Many jobs are completely foreclosed. Other jobs are at the discretion of a hiring supervisor – who may not want to hire someone with a criminal record.
These issues fall into the category of "hire-ability"- a way of describing the likelihood that an individual will actually get hired for a job they are physically and psychologically capable of performing.
The problem is that in disability cases, Social Security does not consider hire-ability into consideration when deciding if an individual is disabled. In Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cases, Social Security only looks at whether an individual is able to perform the duties of the job. Social Security does not consider whether an individual is actually likely to be hired for a job.
That means that all of the issues of hire-ability: a person's looks, their age, and any criminal status, are not considered by Social Security in deciding whether an individual is disabled.

The Illustrious Prince HTML version
9. Inspector Jacks Scores
There followed a few days of pleasurable interest to all Englishmen who travelled in the
tube and read their halfpenny papers. A great and enlightened Press had already solved
the problem of creating the sensational without the aid of facts. This sudden deluge,
therefore, of undoubtedly tragical happenings became almost an embarrassment to them.
Black headlines, notes of exclamation, the use of superlative adjectives, scarcely met the
case. The murder of Mr. Hamilton Fynes was strange enough. Here was an unknown
man, holding a small position in his own country,--a man apparently without friends or
social position. He travelled over from America, merely a unit amongst the host of other
passengers; yet his first action, on arriving at Liverpool, was to make use of privileges
which belonged to an altogether different class of person, and culminated in his arrival at
Euston in a special train with a dagger driven through his heart! Here was material
enough for a least a fortnight of sensations and countersensations, of rumored arrests and
strange theories. Yet within the space of twenty-four hours the affair of Mr. Hamilton
Fynes had become a small thing, had shrunk almost into insignificance by the side of the
other still more dramatic, still more wonderful happening. Somewhere between the Savoy
Hotel and Melbourne Square, Kensington, a young American gentleman of great
strength, of undoubted position, the nephew of a Minister, and himself secretary to the
Ambassador of his country in London, had met with his death in a still more mysterious,
still more amazing fashion. He had left the hotel in an ordinary taxicab, which had
stopped on the way to pick up no other passenger. He had left the Savoy alone, and he
was discovered in Melbourne Square alone. Yet, somewhere between these two points,
notwithstanding the fact that the aggressor must have entered the cab either with or
without his consent, Mr. Richard Vanderpole, without a struggle, without any cry
sufficiently loud to reach the driver or attract the attention of any passer-by, had been
strangled to death by a person who had disappeared as though from the face of the earth.
The facts seemed almost unbelievable, and yet they were facts. The driver of the taxi
knew only that three times during the course of his drive he had been caught in a block
and had had to wait for a few seconds--once at the entrance to Trafalgar Square, again at
the junction of Haymarket and Pall Mall, and, for a third time, opposite the Hyde Park
Hotel. At neither of these halting places had he heard any one enter or leave the taxi. He
had heard no summons from his fare, even though a tube, which was in perfect working
order, was fixed close to the back of his head. He had known nothing, in fact, until a
policeman had stopped him, having caught a glimpse of the ghastly face inside. There
was no evidence which served to throw a single gleam of light upon the affair. Mr.
Vanderpole had called at the Savoy Hotel upon a travelling American, who had written to
the Embassy asking for some advice as to introducing American patents into Great
Britain and France. He left there to meet his chief, who was dining down in Kensington,
with the intention of returning at once to join the Duchess of Devenham's theatre party.
He was in no manner of trouble. It was not suggested that any one had any cause for
enmity against him. Yet this attack upon him must have been carefully planned and
carried out by a person of great strength and wonderful nerve. The newspaper-reading
public in London love their thrills, and they had one here which needed no artificial
embellishments from the pens of those trained in an atmosphere of imagination. The


text: Just a couple of questions for those stats nuts out there. Doing some statistical research on which areas of statistical dominance best influence winning and looking at areas which perhaps haven't been appreciated as much or considered as much as they possibly should in recruiting decisions by clubs - using similar ideas to the book/film moneyball, but applying those theories to AFL as best I can and using my own interpretation first starting with team concepts, and if I get successful trends then perhaps I might look at specific undervalued players and potential draft prospects. Does anyone have any data on total long kicks and total short kicks? Also would have an interest in collecting data on kicking efficiency by team on long kicks and kicking efficiency by team of short kicks. Some other stats by team I would also have interest in acquiring include: meters gained (through running with the footy), total tackles inside 50, total hitouts to advantage + % to advantage, marks off opposition kicks, total spoils. The other big thing, while harder to calculate, total production of direct opponent. So disposals, goals, marks, basically all stats against that player directly. With the trend of players not going head to head and not sticking with the same matchups due to rotations this might be one of the more difficult ones to correctly record, but incredibly interesting if someone did indeed record this. Have been using this as my primary resource (hopefully accurate): http://www.afl.com.au/stats/tabid/73/default.aspx#page=team Any resources or numbers anyone has available to them in any of these categories would be very much appreciated. I'm very willing to discuss my findings with those interested if I come accross any strong data and more than happy to discuss theories behind the numbers and why they seem to have particular effects on winning.

Take California high road to make most of coast
I was wondering how I can best do a road trip up the California coast? Is renting a camper van the way to go, or is renting a car and staying in hotels along the way recommended? A friend and I are going and will have 2-3 weeks.
- S. Scully-Hawkins, Woy Woy.
The drive along California Highway 1 is one of the best reasons for getting behind the wheel. You could certainly stay at hotels and motels along the way, but if you're thinking of a leisurely two- to three-week trip, the costs are going to mount up.
A camper van - or RV - gives you everything you need at a pretty reasonable price and there are some wonderful RV parks along the way, many of them with internet and cable TV hook-ups, some right along the beach. My one reservation to this advice is don't even think of doing this journey in the peak summer months of July and August, when Highway 1 is clogged with slow-moving traffic and RV parks are packed.
Google "RV California Highway 1" for plenty of information on the route, including RV enthusiasts' tips.
Los Angeles is the logical place to start since you will probably be flying in there, although you would be better off to pick up your RV from one of the city depots such as Santa Monica rather than the airport. Although the drive between LA and San Francisco is the star attraction, with that much time to spare, you could go all the way to Seattle if you felt like it.
Festivals tour of Bhutan is right up there
I want to take a tour to Bhutan with the emphasis on culture but also one that takes in some of the major sights and walks as well, although not a trekking trip. I'm thinking of the Festivals of Bhutan tour operated by Bhutan & Beyond. They look reputable but I'm wondering whether this is a reasonable deal and if it visits the best areas of Bhutan? Also I'm concerned about altitude sickness. Are there any precautions that I can take?
- S. Adams, Five Dock.
Bhutan is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for most visitors and Festivals of Bhutan looks like a quality tour. It takes in the highlights as well as some of the lesser-visited areas, the cultural component should satisfy your tastes, and the fact that this is a small-group tour led by an experienced, Australia-based operator is a big plus.
The price for the 12-day tour is $US3911 ($3735) a person, twin share, and while there are certainly cheaper trips available, the feedback from previous guests suggests a high level of satisfaction. You might ask Bhutan & Beyond if they can find someone to share your room to avoid the $US519 ($495) single supplement.
Most tours of Bhutan begin at the airport at Paro, in a river valley at 2200 metres, and just about everything is up from there. There is a real possibility of altitude sickness and anyone can suffer, regardless of age, gender or fitness. You're more likely to fall victim if you do not allow your body time to acclimatise before ascending to higher altitudes.
It is important to take it easy for the first few days and drink plenty of fluids. If you do suffer from altitude sickness, the usual remedy is Diamox, available on prescription, but you need to consult your doctor before you go.
The Festivals of Bhutan tour sets off at a gentle pace and leaves the panting part of the itinerary, the climb to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, until the end, giving you time to adjust.
Penang's the logical choice
I'm visiting Singapore for a conference in October and I want to stay on for another four to five days afterwards for a leisure break with my partner. Langkawi sounds good but I've also heard a lot about Penang lately. Which would be your choice?
- E. Rose, Turramurra.
My choice would be Penang, simply because it's got so much more variety. If you stay at Penang's Batu Ferringhi you've got a pick of several beach resorts at decent prices, yet you're within easy reach of beachfront food markets and shopping malls. You've also got a national park accessible either by road or, better still, by one of the fishing boats that operate from the Batu Ferringhi beachfront.
Georgetown, a 30-minute drive away, is a drowsy treasure chest with a UNESCO world heritage-listed zone at its core, crammed with Chinese shopfronts and temples.
Georgetown also has a vibrant street-food scene. A recent arrival is China House, created by Aussie expat Narelle McMurtrie, a slick cafe/wine bar with an art gallery and performance space.
Another plus - airline connections between Singapore and Penang are frequent and fast. Langkawi is fine if all you want is a couple of days of idleness but Penang offers more.
Stay single without double cost
My 68-year-old mother would love to travel to Europe, however my father is a homebody and she has no one else to travel with. Do you know of any tours that accommodate single seniors and are reasonably priced?
- A. Kenny, Willoughby.
The stumbling block for solo travellers is the singles supplement, which can add up to 50 per cent to the tour price. However,Insight Vacations provides a roommate-matching service that pairs guests with another solo traveller of the same gender, eliminating the supplement.
Joost Timmer, the managing director of Insight Vacations, recommends the 14-day "highlights of Europe" itinerary, from $3050 a person. This includes premium accommodation, luxury coach transport, many meals and the services of a tour director.
Another good option for your mother would be a river cruise, and Uniworld's vessels offer a high level of personalised service from a secure and comfortable base that gets around the need to pack and unpack between visiting the famous sights.
Uniworld is currently waiving its singles-supplement charge in limited cabin categories on selected European river cruises.
For new bookings made and deposited, solo travellers can cruise at no additional charge, which means a luxurious stateroom all to themselves. Both Insight and Uniworld are popular with Aussies.
A map is essential when wandering about in a strange city. While the Google Maps app does a fantastic job, it requires a data connection, which can be expensive when overseas. City Maps 2Go gets around that problem. For $1.99 for Apple devices and free for Android, you get access to thousands of city and regional maps to download online. Android, iPad, iPhone.
If you have travel questions, we'd love to hear from you. Include the name of your suburb or town and send it to email@example.com. Personal correspondence cannot be entered into. Only questions appearing in print will be answered. One published letter each week will win a Lonely Planet guidebook.

Cyril O'Regan (Theology and the Spaces of Apocalyptic, 60)summarizes Bulgakov's cautions about turning justice into the master theme of Christian witness. Bulgakov is "sensitive to the horrors that have been committed in the name of justice throughout history and proximally in the Russian Revolution. The thirst for justice all too quickly becomes indistinguishable from blood thirst and reverse hierarchy." Further, he emphasizes the "real social historical effects of the lie or ideology."
More theologically, he worries that justice "almost invariably inscribes an anthropological paradigm and comes to dictate the way God as well as human beings should behave." And he is concerned about the potential "totalitarian" tendency of justice, which can obliterate concern for "the beauty of God, the beauty of the world, the beauty even of impoverishment."
One can offer suggestions that would curb these tendencies: If justice is defined in terms of harmony, then it incorporates an aesthetic value in itself; when we emphasize that rectification comes only from the work of Christ, we might head off the danger of anthropologizing theology. It would be foolish, however, to think that anyone is immune from the dangers Bulgakov illuminates. Like other Russian thinkers, he is an essential witness, perhaps even more so since the Soviet threat is gone.

Where I stayed
I headed to Cairns city centre at around seven in the morning to catch the bus to Mission beach. The bus journey only took a couple of hours to get there. I was only going to stay one night here just to check it out.
When I arrived at mission beach. I had know where to go. I hadn't booked a hostel or anything because I was expecting a little town but there was nothing like that. Just a Woolworth's and a small row of shops. Luckily there were two people from two different hostels waiting for the bus to turn up and they try and persuade you to go to there hostel.
I picked Scotty's because it was pretty cheap and it had a big swimming pool. The beach was also only thirty seconds away. The whole hostel was really well set up. The staff were really nice and friendly
Whilst I was here, I wanted to explore the area. I asked reception if there is any forest walks around here. They told me most of them were closed because of the cyclone which hit three months ago. She said one walk is still open and that if we get enough people to go they will take us.
In the end we rounded up about a dozen people to go on the little walk a d a swim in the natural pool. It was just a short drive away from the hostel. When we were driving there you could just see the damage of the rainforest when the cyclone hit.
To be honest the walk wasn't nothing special, didn't see any wildlife at all just a few spiders. It took about twenty minutes to walk around then we finished up by the natural pool. I think most of us jumped in for a swim because it was really hot. We stayed in here for a good twenty minutes or so before heading back to the hostel.
On our way back the driver took us to a liquor store. It must of been the best liquor store I've ever seen, it was a drive through store. You literally drive the car into the shop and then get your booze. Most people hoped out to get there drink for the evening.
Once we arrived back at the hostel everyone hung around the pool area but I wanted to go and have a look at the beach. It was a nice looking beach, very quiet for how big it was. I went for a little paddle just to cool down. After a hour or so down the beach I went back to catch up with everyone else.
In the evening not mug happened really. We just mainly chilled out drinking that cheap and nasty goon wine. We had a good laugh playing these drinking games. We stayed up until early in the morning just chatting about our travels ect.
I liked mission beach mainly because of the hostels atmosphere. There wasn't much to do here but it was just nice to relax and soak up the sun. I met some cool people here, which we said we would meet up again.


text: About 8 months ago upon first start up of the day of my '00 Silverado (5.3 V-8), or even after sitting a while having a chance to cool, I hear a light knocking sound coming from the engine. It goes away after the engine is warmed up and the fluids have had a decent chance to circulate, but the knock has gotten worse either. What do you reckon?:neutral:

|Casting time:
|10 minutes
|Creature touched
|Permanent; see text
|Saving Throw:
|Spell Resistance:
You draw an indelible mark on the subject and state some behavior on the part of the subject that will activate the mark. When activated, the mark curses the subject. Typically, you designate some sort of criminal behavior that activates the mark, but you can pick any act you please. The effect of the mark is identical with the effect of bestow curse.
Since this spell takes 10 minutes to cast and involves writing on the target, you can cast it only on a creature that is willing or restrained.
Like the effect of bestow curse, a mark of justice cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell. Remove curse works only if its caster level is equal to or higher than your mark of justice caster level. These restrictions apply regardless of whether the mark has activated.

'Sinister 2' Moves Forward With Original Writers
"Sinister 2" is ready to follow the success of last fall's hit horror thriller "Sinister". Two co-writers of the first film, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, are already on board to pen the second installment.
Eventhough Derrickson is back as one of the screenwriters, he reportedly won't be directing the film. Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions along with Derrickson will produce the picture. Plot and character details are still under wraps, but it's a sure bet Bagul will be terrorizing a new family in his own particular way.
It has not been confirmed yet about when the film will start its production. Derrickson dan Cargill are both working on "Deus Ex: Human Revolution", a video game-based movie.
Not only did "Sinister" win rave reviews from critics, but it also earned more than $77 million worldwide with the production cost of only $3 million. With the performance of the first film, the second film is practically inevitable.
"Sinister" centered on Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke), a true crime novelist struggling to find his next big story who finds a box of home videos in his attic. He soon learns the family members in the video were brutally murdered in the house he's living in and his investigation leads him to a supernatural entity that may be placing his own family in harm's way.
The film was released in October 2012 and also starred Juliet Rylance, Fred Dalton Thompson, James Ransone, Michael Hall D'Addario, Clare Foley, Rob Riley, and Tavis Smiley.

Connecticut won't be prosecuting parents for "stealing" their children's public education anymore. Last week Gov. Daniel Malloy signed into law HB 6677, which prohibits felony arrests for parents who enroll their children in schools outside their zip code.
The law addresses recent high-profile cases of counties arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating parents--most typically poor mothers of color--for falsifying information to enroll their children in better school districts. It is a common practice, not just in Connecticut, but arrests and criminal prosecutions for such maneuvers have typically fallen squarely on poor women of color.
HB 6677 (PDF) explicitly says that falsifying information to obtain a "service" like public education for schoolchildren or those enrolled in public school districts will not count as larceny. Residency violations will now be dealt with by school districts themselves as a civil matter.
Before HB 6677 became law, Connecticut convicted Tanya McDowell, a black woman, of first-degree larceny for enrolling her son in the school district of Norwalk. She was eventually sentenced to twelve years in prison for, along with other charges, "stealing" an estimated $15,000 in public education, Connecticut's WFSB reported. McDowell is not alone. Before her, Kelley Williams-Bolar was sent to jail for ten days for using her father's address to enroll her daughters in a neighboring school district in Akron, Ohio.
But larger issues remain. Every child in the country may have access to public education, but a high quality public education is a privilege instead of a right. And it's too often out of reach for the poor and families of color. A high quality education has become a private good, something a family must be in the correct tax bracket, or zip code, to deserve.

Memorial's Board of Regents approved the Enrolment Plan 2020 and the Strategic Research Intensity Plan 2014-20, a set of initiatives that will launch forth new and innovative recommendations to help the university become one of the most graduate-intensive and research-intensive universities in Canada by the end of 2020-21.
Delivering both plans will result in doubling research and scholarly output, and increase graduate enrolment by approximately 35 per cent. It will also bring a significant increase in research funding as well as additional graduate-level programs over the next seven years.
The plans were approved at a board meeting on May 8 after several phases of consultation with Memorial's academic and administrative heads, student representatives and appropriate advisory and decision-making bodies of the university, as well as consultation of the entire university community before finalization and approval. The implementation of recommendations will begin immediately.
"The Strategic Research Intensity Plan reflects a synergistic and integrated approach for strengthening all aspects of research at Memorial University, including scholarship and creative activities, as well as the translation of knowledge into products, practices and policies, and other forms of community engagement," said Dr. Richard Marceau, vice-president (research).
"The university will be better equipped to attract and retain top researchers and scholars, and provide access to equipment, funding and quality learning and teaching opportunities."
The Strategic Research Intensity Plan goes hand in hand with the Enrolment Plan 2020, a comprehensive, pan-university document that will target growth in graduate enrolment by 32-37 per cent by 2020-21, while maintaining undergraduate enrolment close to the current level. Both plans will implement a comprehensive approach for serving graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, while enhancing and broadening their research learning and training experience.
"Enrolment Plan 2020 sets undergraduate and graduate enrolment targets for 2020-21, provides direction for Memorial's recruitment and retention activities, while simultaneously improving supports for student academic success," said Dr. David Wardlaw, provost and vice-president (academic). "The next step is to identify the enrolment management teams proposed in the plan. These teams will then drive the plan by leading the implementation of its various recommendations."
The Strategic Research Intensity Plan 2014-20 and the Enrolment Plan 2020 will be used to inform the Infrastructure Plan, currently under development.
The research plan builds on the Research Strategy Framework to initiate an historic generational transformation of Memorial University's ability to:

Officials: Few of Gen. Allen emails questionable
FILE- In this March 26, 2012, file photo, Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan listens during a news conference at the Pentagon. When Defense Secretary Leon Panetta pointedly warned young troops last spring to mind their ways, he may [auth] have been lecturing the wrong audience. The culture of military misconduct starts at the top. At least five current and former U.S. general officers have been reprimanded or investigated for possible misconduct in the past two weeks _ a startling run of embarrassment for a military whose stock among Americans rose so high during a decade of war that its leaders seemed almost untouchable. (AP Photo/Haraz N. Ghanbari, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. officials say just a handful of the emails between the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan and a Florida woman are potentially problematic, but the vast majority of the 20,000-plus pages of documents reviewed by investigators were routine.
The disclosure puts a clearer perspective on the breadth of questionable communications between Gen. John Allen and Tampa socialite Jill Kelley. Officials have described some emails as inappropriate and "suggestive." Allen has said he's done nothing wrong.
One of the officials put the number at five. The officials were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Kelley is a key player in the scandal that uncovered ex-CIA Director David Petraeus' affair with his biographer and led him to resign.
Allen's nomination to lead the U.S. European Command is on hold while the investigation continues. He continues in his job as commander of the Afghanistan war.

National Flag
Every country has a national flag and many of you must be familiar
with most of these flags which come in various sizes, shapes and colours
depicting different designs and symbols.
Our national flag which depicts a sword bearing lion, two green and
yellow strips and Bo leaves which is hoisted at all national functions
however, is not the original flag that was unfurled at the first
Independence Day celebrations in 1948.
The need for such a national flag was discussed and eventually a
motion was also tabled in the State Council by the then MP for
Batticaloa, A. Sinnalebbe on January 16, 1948, stating that the Lion
flag used by our last king. Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe (which was taken to
Britain way back in 1815) should become our national flag.
But there was disagreement and so, the Prime Minister D. S.
Senanayake appointed a national Advisory Committee to look into this.
But, as no final decision for a different flag was made, the Lion flag
fluttered at the Independence celebrations in 1948.
The Prime Minister unfurled the Lion flag at the opening of the first
Parliament of Independent Ceylon (as it was then known) on February 11,
1948 and it fluttered alongside the British Union Jack. Then again it
was unfurled at the Octagon (Pattirippuwa), Kandy during Independence
Day celebrations held there on February 12, 1948. The national flag that
we have today which was recommended by the special committee was
presented to Parliament by Premier D. S. Senanayake and was adopted only
on March 2, 1951'. The special advisory committee members comprised S.
W. R. D. Bandaranaike (Chairman), Sir John Kotalawela, J. R.
Jayewardene, T. B. Jayah, Dr. L. A. Rajapaksa, G. G. Ponnambalam and
Senator S. Nadesen and Dr. Senarath Paranavithana (Secretary). As
recommended by the committee on March 2, 1951 two strips of green and
saffron yellow (each strip equal to one-seventh the size of the flag)
was added to the original Lion flag along with the other symbolic motifs
and designs we see today.
However, when Sri Lanka became a republic in 1972, the stylised Bo
leaves were replaced with natural Bo leaves. It was the amended flag
that was unfurled at the Republic Day celebrations on May 22, 1972. The
flag which was designed with great care retaining the original design of
the Lion flag, the civil standard of King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, not
only represents the heritage of the country but also integrates the
minority races into the majority race.
The lion which is symbolic of bravery represents the majority
Sinhalese ethnic strength while the saffron vertical strip represents
the Tamils, the green strip the Muslims and Moors. Crimson background,
the European Burghers and the yellow border other minority ethnicities.
Each part of the lion has a different meaning.The Bo leaves represent
kindness, friendliness, happiness and equanimity (metta, karuna, muditha
and upeksha).
The national flag should be treated
with respect and not just thrown around as just another piece of cloth
or paper.
National Anthem
Ananda Samarakoon's composition 'Namo Namo Matha' is our national
anthem which should be sung with great pride and reverence. The main
theme of the anthem is designed to instil honour and respect to our
Motherland and also create national development through unity.
Do you know that a competition to select a national anthem was
conducted in January 1948 on the recommendation of the Sri Lanka
Gandharva Sabha and Samarakoon's composition was selected on November
22, 1951 However, as there was some controversy about the lyrics, the
opening words in Samarakoon's composition, were changed to "Sri Lanka
Matha - Apa Sri Lanka..."
On Independence Day in 1952, a group of 500 students from Musaeus
College rendered the national anthem for the first time and it was
broadcast over the radio.
National Emblem
after we gained independence we continued to use the British emblem, but
a select committee was later appointed to devise a new State emblem.
Initially it had a lion with a sword in its right fore paw encircled
by a palapethi open petal design at the top. A strip carrying our
country's name in all three languages was at the bottom.
When we became a Republic in 1972 a new emblem was chosen. Retaining
the original design, a punkalasa, the dhammachakka, sun, moon and two
sheaves of paddy were added to make the State emblem what it is today.
The beautiful fragrant and star-like blossom of the lily family, the
blue water lily (Nymphaea stellata) or the Nil Manel as it's known in
Sinhala was selected as the national flower of our Motherland in
February 1986.
The lily which has several bluish-green petals arranged like a star
and flat, round waterproof leaves grows in the shallow water in all
parts of the country.
It is considered to be a symbol of purity and truth. Buddhists and
Hindus use these flowers for religious purposes.
The ironwood (Mesua ferrea) or the Na tree which is a rainforest tree
indigenous to the lower Wet Zone of the country was named the National
Tree in 1986. This tree which grows to about 30 feet in height has a
radiant white flower with a golden centre which is used by many Buddhist
devotees as offering to the Buddha. The beautiful bright red leaves,
mature to a deep green.
The wood of this tree is hardy and has been used to construct even
bridges, but the reason it was chosen as our national tree is not
because of its hardiness, but its religious connection. It is believed
that the Buddha's first visit to Mahiyanganaya was to a grove of Na
trees and also that the next Buddha, will attain enlightenment under a
Na tree.
National Bird
The bright brown hued fowl, the Ceylon Jungle Fowl (Gallus lafayetti),
known as the Wali Kukula in Sinhala has been elevated to national
It can be found strutting about and scratching the ground for food in
typical fowl fashion, in many parks of the country.

|That's because they wanna write Avery as this cute and modest little heroine but I still think she's boring. The dialogue is cheesy as fuck and it feels like JM isn't interested in this pairing at all, he just seems lazy when he's in scenes with her. I'm happy for Jessica Collins because id obviously rather see her be written as the new heroine than Phyllis but I still think its too much material too soon, the viewers were never crazy about Avery in the first place and now shes getting as much screen time as the vets

a few key topics to consider are:
- Test-driven development (TDD) –Test driven development involves writing unit tests, watching them fail, and then implementing the source code required to make the test pass. While many organizations do not utilize TDD, I believe every developer should experience it at least once. Among other benefits, TDD makes developers contemplate the purpose of their source code before they write it.
- Non-traditional development organizations –With the rise of offshore, community, and distributed development, test automation process is even more critical. In these environments, agreements on how tests will be written and how test success will be measured should be determined before development begins. Code coverage and number of tests can also be a valuable progress indicator.
Leverage Existing Tools
The last few years have provided an explosion in the number and quality of software tools available to assist with automated testing. With such a wide array of tools available, I'll touch upon the primary families of test automation software to point readers in the right direction, but it's important to compare test automation tools as they apply to your organization's personal needs and quality strategy. And while these tools have traditionally been separate solutions, recent products such as Microsoft® Visual Studio Team System are offering more comprehensive bundled solutions.
- Unit testing framework –This is the actual software library that allows test to be easily written and executed. Popular test frameworks include JUnit for JavaTM, and NUnit and MbUnit for .NET.
- Code coverage –A code coverage tool will execute unit tests and determine which lines of application source code are exercised ("covered"). Popular tools include Cobertura for Java and NCover for .NET.
- Build tools –This provides one "script" to build the source code, execute the tests, calculate code coverage, and various other tasks. Popular build tools include Apache Ant for Java and NAnt for .NET.
- Source code repository –This is where all source code is cataloged. Popular repositories include Subversion® and Microsoft Team Foundation Server.
- Continuous integration –These tools continuously build and test the source code from the source code repository. Combined with a build script these can provide periodic reporting of test metrics.
- Miscellaneous–The above tools represent the core for an automated testing strategy. Auxiliary tools exist to further ease the automated testing leap (such as integrated development environments, mock libraries, and code analysis tools).
Metrics lead to Measurement
Test automation metrics can help teams set goals and measure progress. Most successful test organizations track and publish test automation metrics, which inspire pride and competition among their teams. Most of the build tools mentioned above support a task to create a daily report and automatically email it to team members. As you consider what metrics to keep in order to drive measurement and analysis of testing, consider the following, most common measurements:
- Source code coverage –This is the percentage of application code that is exercised by automated tests. Most organization set a code coverage goal for all code of 80 to 90 percent.
- Total number of tests or total lines of test source code –These absolute tracking metrics such as KLOCs (bugs per thousand lines of code) can provide a measure of progress when tracked over time.
- Velocity–When the total number of tests or lines of test source code is tracked over a period of time a team can measure their "velocity"–the number of tests written per day, and/or week. This is an especially useful metric for agile teams that need to estimate work done per iteration.
- Test code to application code ratio –The ratio of the absolute lines of source code in

I think this is one of the best series of TV commercials ever. The commercials were created for a Thai life insurance company (If you haven't seen them yet, you'll want to see Silence of Love, My Girl and I want More Time) and are sure to bring tears to your eyes. You probably will want to grab that tissue box.
"If I have learned one thing in life it is this: If you can find a woman that you can laugh naked with in front of, hold onto her and never let go."
The following is a true story of Danny and Annie. It was told by the real people involved, then illustrated into animation by StoryCorps. I think that it's everyone's dream to find a love like this. Be sure that you have a box of tissues nearby because you are going to need it by the end of the story:
Nothing like a good marriage proposal to bring a little water to the eyes. Well done…
This is a short film that caught me by surprise. Usually when I feel the onions taking effect while watching a video, it's either obviously tears of joy or tears of sadness that appear. In this one I wasn't sure which of the two it was, or what combination of the two it was. Judge for yourself and let me know your opinion:
This is part of a series of wonderful Thai Insurance commercials that will tug at your heart. It would be wonderful if all commercials were as well done as the ones in this series (although everyone would need to have a box of tissues by their TV). This particular one is about a father that wished he had a chance to spend the time with his son differently: I want more time. Time to tell my son that I love … Continue reading

Experienced All Blacks prop Tony Woodcock is poised to make his return to rugby next week after almost three months spent on the sidelines nursing a foot injury.
All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen confirmed today that the 74-test veteran is in line to play for North Harbour in their national provincial championship match against Manawatu in Palmerston North.
The 30-year-old has not taken to the field since injuring ligaments in his foot playing for the Blues against the Rebels in the Super 15 competition in April. There were fears that the most-capped All Blacks prop was in danger of missing the rugby World Cup.
But Hansen allayed fears that the 119kg Woodcock would not be considered for the 26-man squad to play the Tri-Nations away legs in South Africa and Australia.
"Tony's going to play on Tuesday ... that's the plan at this stage. He's travelling pretty good and is ready to go.
"If he comes through those games he's more than likely to come to South Africa with us. That's been the plan from day one and he's ahead of schedule."
Hansen said they had been adhering to advice from the All Blacks' medical team to nurse Woodcock back to fitness. He has taken full part in training in Wellington this week ahead of the All Blacks' Tri-Nations test against South Africa on Saturday.
"The first building block was getting him running, the second one was getting him involved in parts of training. He's now at the point where yesterday he trained completely with the side and he's ready to have a game of football," Hansen said.
The prognosis was also brighter for Blues teammate Isaia Toeava, who is scheduled to play 40 minutes for Auckland against Taranaki on Sunday. The utility back is coming back from a hip injury that forced him out of the Blues' Super 15 campaign in May.
Israel Dagg, however, is yet to have his return to rugby confirmed, with Hansen saying he is on track with his recovery from a complicated thigh injury.
"Daggy is just not quite ready to go yet even though he's starting to train really well. He can run, but we're just building his kicking back into his game and once we get that right he'll get out and play as well."
Hansen said it was hoped the utility back would play for Hawke's Bay before the squad to travel to South Africa and Australia was chosen.

Write an essay on Materialism in the story, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" by D. H. Lawrence?
1 Answer | Add Yours
There are certainly many approaches that could be taken with that as a topic. Discussing the aspects that the mother is dissatisfied with any amount she receives is one such aspect. Instead of finding relief with her monthly windfall, she instead wants it all. Instead of taking care of the debts she already has, she buys new things.
You could also consider that her son is trying to buy his mother's love-but the price is too high. He has never received any gratitude or concern for his efforts and ruins his health trying to please her. His earnings bought him nothing but an early grave. Or look at the ways his mother thinks buying things will make her happy, yet her unhappiness only increases.
Good luck!
