Fouls can be called by the player who believes he was fouled. Respect the call of the player who believes he was fouled. A called foul will result in a free throw shot and the team that was fouled will retain possession. If there was a field goal made prior to the foul, the fouled team will get a free shot and then the ball will change possession. Incidental contact between opponents shall not result in a called foul unless such contact results in a meaningful disadvantage. Court monitors are only there to make calls that get out control, disputes that the captain can't handle for time sake, or flagrant fouls.
Technical Fouls
The court monitors will be the only person allowed to call technical fouls. A technical foul will be called for unsportsmanlike acts such as taunting, baiting, or trash talk. Taunting and baiting can involve derogatory remarks or gestures that incite or insult a player. Trash talk involves a deeply personal, verbal attack directed toward any person involved in the event. In extreme cases, the player may also be suspended from play and a coach or fan removed from the court for the remainder of that game or for the rest of the tournament. A player who aggressively comes into contact with or assaults a court monitor or other tournament officials will be automatically ejected from the game and for the remainder of the tournament. The court monitor may also assess a technical foul if the monitor determine that the team is stalling in the interest of preserving a winning margin. A technical foul results in one point for the offended team and possession of the ball.
Flagrant Foul
A flagrant foul may be of a violent or aggressive nature, or an act which displays unacceptable conduct. It may or may not be intentional. It may involve violent or aggressive contact such as striking, kicking, kneeing, moving under an opponent who is in the air, and crouching or hipping in a manner which could cause serious injury to an opponent. It may also involve dead ball conduct or dialogue which is extreme or persistent, aggressive, or abusive. A flagrant foul results in one point for the offended team and possession of the ball. The player committing the flagrant foul will be suspended from play for the remainder of that game and possibly for the rest of the tournament. Technical, intentional, and flagrant fouls cannot be called by a player. A court monitor will make this call. Their decision is final.
Stalling is prohibited. Stalling is the style of play in which a team does not actively attempt to advance the basketball toward the basket and shoot the ball at the basket. It is a method of used in attempt to run out the game clock to preserve a win. Stall is considered unsportsmanlike and will result in a technical foul against the offending team.
First Team with the Ball?
A coin toss prior to the each game will determine which team get the ball out of -bounds.
Keeping Score
All baskets made from inside the two-point arc count as on point and made baskets from outside the two-point arc count for two points. The first team to 11 points is the winner.
Length of Game
If a score of 11 points is reached within 15 minutes: The target score for all games is 11 points, meaning the first team to reach 11 points within 15 minutes of play is declared the winner. The team that reaches 11 points does not need to have winning margin of 2 points or greater. The 15 minute clock is stopped during team time-outs and if the court monitor stops play for a player injury or other unusual circumstance. I neither team has reached a score of 11 points , the court monitor will stop the game after 15 minutes of play. If at this point of interruption a team has a lead of 2 or more points, that team is declared the winner. If neither team has at least a two-point advantage, overtime rule will be activated. In overtime, the first team to score a total of 2 point more than the lending team's score at the beginning of the overtime session, or reach 11 points, will be declared the winner. A coin toss will determine who get the ball out of bounds first in overtime.
Checked Ball
The ball must be "checked" by an opposing player before it is put into play. The check-in must occur behind the dashed take back line and not the out of bounds or end line. As always, the ball must be passed to begin play. The pass may occur anywhere on the court, but the on-ball defender must remain behind the two-point arc.

Take it Back

These Soviet safety posters delivered their message in bold terms.
If you've ever been to a Disney theme park, you've undoubtedly seen the large posters showcasing some of the popular rides and attractions. Over the past sixty years, what started out as teasers for park guests have evolved into valued works of art. They transition from simple works with minimal design and color of the mid 1950s to finely-detailed full-color masterpieces that perfectly capture the tones and atmospheres of each attraction of the present day.
Poster Art of the Disney Parks compiles Disney theme park attraction posters from around the globe into one volume. The book is oversized for proper viewing of the full-page prints, which are rich in history, color, and detail. Each chapter is broken down into the different lands (Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, etc.) as well as two chapters dedicated to the Disney California Adventure park and the Tokyo DisneySea park.
The tome focuses strongly on the art with minimal text. There are a few paragraphs at the beginning of each chapter and a few captions to accompany the images, but beyond that, it's an art-lover's dream. There are so many poster images that even a hard-core fan of the Disney theme parks wouldn't recognize all of them. Add to that the plethora of sketches, color samples, and poster variants, and you've got a 146-page book that is jam-packed with visual treats that will rekindle childhood memories of the Disney theme parks. – Robert Nava

There's a new book out about Big O Posters, which grew out of the graphic design vision of Peter Ledeboer, the charismatic art director of the U.K. incarnation of music and counter-culture magazine Oz, published psychedelic, sci-fi, and fantasy posters from 1967 until 1980.
Originally promoted in the pages of Oz to sell readers full-size posters of the artwork they were enjoying in the magazine, the roster of Big O posters included some of the biggest names in rock art, from Martin Sharp (a pair of album covers for Cream) and Mati Klarwein (Santana's "Abraxas") to H.R. Giger (Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Brain Salad Surgery") and Roger Dean (multiple covers for Yes). It's a big, image-packed tale, which is why The Art of Big O, designed and published by Michael Fishel and written by Nigel Suckling, both of whom were Big O artists, feels so right. It, too, is big and image-packed, capturing both the atmosphere of the London graphic-design world of the 1960s and '70s as well as the work itself, which is jammed into every nook and cranny of the hefty tome like so many posters tacked to the walls and ceiling of a teenager's bedroom. The result is less a nostalgic trip down memory lane than a paean to the obsessives who produced and printed this often unapologetically obsessive art.

Ben Marks of Collectors Weekly says: "We just published an interview with Zack Coutroulis, who has an amazing collection of vintage magic posters. Zack explains how many of the most popular magicians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries got their starts in vaudeville, sandwiched between song-and-dance acts and comedians. If the magicians got big enough to go out on their own, they'd produce lithographed posters to publicize their shows. While some of these posters were portraits of magicians such as Dante, Carter the Great, Kellar, and Thurston, often surrounded by devils and imps whispering dark-art secrets into their ears, other posters showcased particular illusions, such as the one of Harry Houdini performing the water-torture trick."

As the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art prepares to shutter its South of Market location for the next three years, during which it will spend almost half a billion dollars to more than double its size for the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection, the museum's restaurant on Third Street closes out its more modest exhibition program with nine acrylic-on-canvas paintings by Chris Shaw, on view through June 3, 2013. Admission is free.
Best known locally for his rock posters, Shaw has used his swan-song time slot to present a series of vividly colored Madonnas, each based on Madonnas by such 15th century artists as Bellini, Botticelli, and Ambrogio de Predis. For Shaw, the Madonna is just another propaganda icon, a vessel to be filled up with whatever one is trying to sell. Read the rest

MegaMan X is truly one of my all time favorite games.
Sequel to the popular "MegaMan" game series for NES, MegaMan X was intended to be a new revamped version of an already popular game, and was designed for the Super Nintendo– which was a revamped version of the NES. So the shoe really did fit.
If I allowed myself to, I could rant about MegaMan X for days. I could write a book on it, I am sure of that. But to keep this relatively brief, I am going to discuss three major aspects of gaming that MegaMan X accomplishes magnificently; intuition, fluidity, and overarching theme.
When I say intuition, I am referring to a game's ability to teach the player how to play, without having to resort to obvious tutorial levels, or warning signs before obstacles. When I play a video game, I don't want to have to wait, I don't want to have to read, and I don't want to have to be talked down to in order to proceed. In MegaMan X, Capcom (the developers) respect the player by placing them in situations that force them to naturally learn how the game works. For example, let me explain to you how the tutorial level works. You press "Game Start" from the menu, and are immediately placed into your standard platform game. First thing you notice? There is a wall to your left, and blank space to your right. So the first lesson is immediately given to you; you move from left to right in order to proceed.
So, you proceed to the right, like they knew you would. As you walk to the right, you will be approached by a spinning wheel with spikes on it. He is your first enemy. Now, you can clear this enemy one of two ways, you can shoot it to death, or the easier way– which would be to jump over it. It is at a pretty small height, so it is pretty clear that the intention is for you to jump over it. But as you keep walking past this enemy, you run into a taller baddie. This guy you can only beat by shooting. However! His attacks travel across the ground. Again, encouraging the idea of jumping. Really, each levels design is made to encourage jumping and shooting. That's mostly what this game is.
Finally, you proceed past this baddie, and run into your first mini boss. A big flying moth looking robot who you can only hit by jumping and shooting a whole bunch of times. He is really easy to beat, you just jump and shoot. But after you beat him, the floor collapses and you fall to the bottom of a pit. This is one of the most fascinating parts..!! This pit is designed such that as you fall, you see a gap in the floor on the right side, and are inclined to fall towards the right. Naturally, the average gamer will brush against the right side of this pit and discover MegaMan X's famous mechanic, the wall kick! You can press the directional button against a wall, and keep pressing jump to kick all the way up a wall. You cannot pass this part of the game without learning how to wall kick. There is no sign or label to teach you these things. No fairy in a bottle to follow you around and tell you that you need to wall kick. This game uses INTUITION to teach you how to play! And that is just SO much more fun.
Next up, fluidity! When I talk about fluidity in a game, I'm talking about how well the game holds together with its own rules. How prominent glitches are, and if they are gamebreaking. How well you can control the character using the rules of the game and provided buttons. MegaMan X's demonstrated fluidity perfectly. This game featured two very original movement techniques; the wall kick, which I've already mentioned, and the dash. Dashing is just when you press right or left twice, and you dash that direction. You can also use a button instead of pressing directional twice. But this dash can also be combined with jumping for a higher, farther, and faster jump. You can shoot while doing this. You can dash jump off of a wall kick… this also incorporates the intuitive nature of MegaMan X, because the game leaves these advantages for you to discover. It's like figuring out your own cheat code. I remember being about 10 years old when I figured out how to dash jump, I couldn't believe it! I would ALWAYS die trying to jump over gaps, and just miscalculating the distance and falling to my death. Naturally figuring out the dash jump is just such a cool little secret left behind for the player. It's an experience that absolutely cannot be communicated through another form of media.
This is getting a little long, so let me close things up with the overarching theme in MegaMan X. Simply put, this game is all about getting stronger. At the end of the introduction level, MegaMan has to fight a boss that he cannot jump over, and seemingly cannot harm either. This is a fight that you are actually FORCED to lose. Right when you are about to die, this crazy looking red version of yourself shows up out of nowhere, and scares the boss away. So now you, the player, are looking at this red MegaMan (his name is Zero) and all you can think is WOW he is way more powerful than I am, I wish I could do that! Zero proceeds to tell you that you aren't at your full power yet, and that you will have to beat the 8 robot masters to reach your full power. So, that is the game. There are 8 levels, each with a boss at the end. When you beat that boss, you get that bosses power. In each of the levels, there are also other powerups hidden that will make you stronger. More health, armor upgrades, weapon upgrades, etc. By the end of the game, MegaMan literally LOOKS different. He is all decked out in new armor, he has a fancy helmet and blaster, new shoes and more. You reach the final stages knowing that you don't just look more powerful– you ARE more powerful; you have reached your full power, and you're ready for round 2 with that first boss.
Again, I could go on about this game for a long time. It really is a work of art. I feel that many games today have lost touch when it comes to clever design. Rather than teach you through intuition, they give you an aggravating and tedious tutorial level. And in their attempts to make things look pretty, the game becomes sloppy and prone to glitches. If you want to try playing MegaMan X, it is available for free on various websites, I will leave a link here. You should play it and pay attention to these things that I have pointed out. I really believe seeing these elements first hand can change and mature a person's perspective on gaming. I know it did for me!

This video visualizes the present effects of slavery in a powerful way, it shows how the Children of Israel are still drunk with the philosophy of the institution of slavery in many ways and have not awaken from its mental chains. Just like when the children of Israel left Egypt most of them wanted to go back to Egypt rather than build their own nation it is what we know today as Stockholm Syndrome feeling compassion for your oppressor, that is why the Most High had to kill off the older generation almost like a purging process, In like manner today the Most High will have to kill 2/3rds of Israel in this Modern day Egypt, cause mentally they are dead as it says in Revelation ch 11 verse 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. America is spiritually Egypt and Sodom and Gomorrah and it was prophesied that the children of Israel will return again to Egypt in ships in Deuteronomy ch 28 verse 68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. But now the Most High is waking us up and bringing us back to our nationality which is Israel that is why you see a lot of camps and Hebrew Israelites flooding the streets, soon greater fear will fall upon all these heathens as it is written in Baruch ch 2 verse 30-35 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves. And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear: And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name, And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord. And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them. Ahman.

Todd Avery / For The Lantern
Coming off its fifth consecutive win, the surging Ohio State baseball team will try to extend its winning streak at the Bright House Invitational.
After starting the season 0-2, the Buckeyes (5-2) seem to be putting things together, leading the Big Ten in runs scored with 52 and placing third with a 3.38 earned-run average after the first two weekends of action.
Coach Greg Beals said he has been pleased with the all-around play of his team to this point.
"I think we've done a little bit of everything. We've been able to establish the running game on offense. I think our starting pitching this past weekend was solid and the one game we didn't get great starting pitching, we had great bullpen work," he said. "We've just been able to establish the things that we really want to establish which is our base running, hitting doubles and pounding the strike zone with first pitch strikes with our pitching staff. Whenever we had a problem with one phase, something else picked it up so we were able to pick each other up also."
The Buckeyes swept the weekly Big Ten awards as sophomore catcher Aaron Gretz won Big Ten Player of the Week, redshirt senior pitcher Brad Goldberg earned his second-consecutive Pitcher of the Week award and freshman infielder Troy Kuhn took home Freshman of the Week honors.
In three starts over the weekend, Gretz went 5-for-10 with three doubles, six runs scored and three RBI. He is the first Buckeye to earn Big Ten Player of the Week since junior pitcher and first baseman Josh Dezse won the award on May 2.
"It's definitely a big honor considering all the great players in the Big Ten," Gretz said. "To be named player of the week, you know, it's a great honor but more importantly our team won four games in a row last weekend, so that's the main thing."
Goldberg won his second game in as many starts, tossing 6.1 scoreless frames and striking out a career-high 10 batters in a 13-2 win against Mount St. Mary's Saturday. In his 13.1 innings of work this season, he has yet to surrender a run, giving up just two hits and tallying 17 strikeouts.
Making his first two collegiate starts, Kuhn went 6-for-8 with four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base.
Senior infielder Kirby Pellant said that the key to the team's hot streak can be accredited to its unity.
"Everyone's buying in," he said. "Our confidence, starting from the top of the order to the end of the order, has been huge. This year our team has really been picking each other up. We've been really supporting everyone at bat, pitching and defensively. If a guy messes up then we're right there to pick him back up. That's been the key so far."
But in order to keep the team's streak alive, Beals said the team needs to maintain a certain mentality.
"I think we have to develop a kind of a swagger about ourselves, a confidence level that knows that we can do it day in and day out and understand that there's going to be a point of adversity in a game and in the season," Beals said. "We need know that we can work through that adversity and still succeed on a given day."
The Buckeyes will look to stay hot when they travel to DeLand, Fla., over the weekend to take on Connecticut, Stetson and Central Michigan in three consecutive days. The first game is set for Friday at 1 p.m. against the Huskies.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, Thank you for your question and welcome. My name is ***** ***** I will assist you. Did they ever send you a notice confirming the debt was assigned to DBA? Have they threatened to commence court proceedings? Kind regards AJ
Hi, Thank you. I would recommend you write back to them as follows:
- You deny liability for the debt, or that it is enforceable;
- Say that the threats they are making to you are a criminal offence, as it is illegal to unlawfully harass someone for money they do not owe under S.40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970;
- Say that any further baseless correspondence demanding money without evidence, will be treated with a complaint to the banks regulator (or potentially the police or trading standards).
Technically yes the acknowledgement of debt must be done in writing, this is known as the statute of fraud 1677 (old but good law). The bank should be statute barred from claiming the debt if the claim was made after 6 May 2016.
If the bank does sue, that is their prerogative so you would have to defend yourself. You could argue the acknowledgment is not effective as (i) Did not receive notice of assignment as required by law and (ii) You did not actually know what you were acknowledging as no evidence of the debt was provided. Kind regards AJ
If the bank does sue, that is their prerogative so you would have to defend yourself. You could argue the acknowledgment is not effective as (i) Did not receive notice of assignment as required by law and (ii) You did not actually know what you were acknowledging as no evidence of the debt was provided. Kind regards AJ
Hi, Thank you. That may change things slightly, but they would still need to enforce the debt in the UK. How did the debt arise in the first place? Was it under a facility letter or credit card for example?
Hi, Thank you. The loan wont be a regulated credit agreement unless it was transacted under English contract law. The bank would have to obtain a court order against you in Germany and then enforce that order in the UK. Alternatively they would have to sue you in the UK - in which case the agreement may be viewed as statute barred. Aside from being staute barred have they provided any evidence the debt was incurred?
Hi. Thank you. I do not know about a German court but they would they would need special permission to use it in a uk court. Ultimately your defence against this is that you made the arrangement under duress and it cannot be a valid arrangement as without proof of the debt you could not have possibly known what you were agreeing to. Kind regards AJ
On that basis their argument does have a flaw you exploit. Kind regards AJ
Hi thank you. You cannot stop them issuing proceedings because that is their prerogative but if they do issue proceedings you will have notice and can defend yourself. The only thing I can suggest is you put pressure on them not to issue by saying you will hold them responsible for your costs or complain to their regulator for abusing their bargaining position and forcing you to pay under duress.
Hi thank you. In relation to your first point are considering settling not? Are you saying you believe they have committed an offence in Germany? Kind regards AJ
Hi thank you. A Subject Access request can simply be made in writing to the bank concerned - the process is same as in the uk. In relation to the evidence you could always object to its presentation in court as it was illegally obtained.
Hi, Thank you. The problem I cannot say for certain what a court would decide, but on the face of the information you have provided i do not believe the recording would be admissible. Firstly it was obtained illegally under German Law, Secondly under English law admitting a debt needs to be done in writing. If they are passing the debt to a UK agency then they are seeking to enforce it under English Law and therefore you have grounds to say it should be barred.

Class of 1967 50th Anniversary Reunion
- Details
- Created: 16 May 2017
Dear Classmates,
Half a century ago…
We all graduated from Wah Yan College, Kowloon in 1967 as teenagers. Since then, we had gone on our separate ways to trek our own paths in life. Some of us had remained in Hong Kong while some of us had ventured overseas. Riding the waves of the Baby Boomers, we had moved from black & white to colour television, from toasters to microwave ovens, from typewriters to computers and from land lines to cellular phones. We had sought higher education and colourful careers while as the world turned, some of us had become fathers and even grandfathers. One thing for sure, whether you like it or not, we had all reached retirement age and become Senior Citizens.
It is time for us to get together again!

Pavel Ythjall picks up my 7D and goes to town!
I met Pavel Ythjall through my great friend Daniel Saxlid (also an eminent sound designer, recently nominated for the Swedish Guldbagge Award, congrats Daniel!) Pavel has made a name for himself in stills but as worlds are merging and he has a DP background, he's doing more and more motion work on his still shoots. He was looking for a 7D for an upcoming shoot and when he realized I had one with PL mount and CP.2's to go with it, he jumped at the chance to try it out.
Henry Cejudo: Quest For Gold
"Henry Cejudo, at the age of 21, achieved his dream and made history by becoming the youngest American gold medalist in the history of U.S. wrestling. Henry's inspiring journey from childhood adversity to the 2008 Beijing Olympics shows what the human spirit is capable of when passion and perseverance are at the soul's foundation. His story has rekindled the national ethos of the United States; a place where freedom includes a promise of opportunities for a better and fuller life, a promise of the American Dream."
Alien Robot Invasion
Alright, obviously not a robot, probably not even passable as an invading force in an Ed Wood flick, but actually the Pick 'N' Pluck foam from my new CamDolly case.
So far everything about my new CamDolly has been great, except for one thing… it didn't come with a case! It simply arrived in cardboard boxes from Tube Tape and once it was open all I had to move it around was a couple of old suitcases. Not very practical.
I know Met Hrovat over at CamDolly is working on a solution, but I have a show coming up where I'm hoping to use the dolly so I couldn't wait. I decided to go at it DIY style…
My first little CamDolly shoot
I had a small little shoot the other day for Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle De Cuir, a very interesting interview and roundtable discussion with esteemed author Orson Scott Card for the nice people at Macmillan Audio. Stefan and Gabrielle produce some great audio books and the discussion, which included three other actors as well, was centered around the upcoming production in Orson's Ender's Game series. It was very interesting to hear the authors thoughts on the audible versions of his work, as well as the actors thoughts on his written word, and I strongly recommend checking the material out when it's released.
The roundtable was a simple 3-camera shoot and my new CamDolly came in very handy, lending some energy to the wide shot. A few stacks of books in the foreground, some slight lateral movement and voila, the shot came alive.
Quick sample of the dolly shot from the roundtable with Orson Scott Card. All footage © Macmillan Audio.
What happened? I bought a Dolly?
Ehr, yeah. I kinda did. I have to admit I never thought myself in the market for a Dolly. They are big and bulky things that I have no interest in storing, let alone lugging around. But then there was the CamDolly v2.
I came across this thing on Nino Leitner's blog and I've been chatting with the inventor Met Hrovat in Slovenia for a few months now. He basically woke up one day, asking himself why he needed three or more tools to move his camera around on every shoot, and why so many of them didn't fit in the trunk of his car. So he did some thinking and came up with a multi purpose system that is a bunch of camera transportation all rolled into one:

A home is a place we go to if we want to be at ease after a hard day at work. Even if a house supposed to mean much for us, not all people actually care about how their house looks like.Worse than the house itself is the garden. People tend to think of garden as a space to plant trees and flowers. Not many understand, not only a beautiful garden will enhance the beauty of the house (and eventually increase the selling price), a nice garden will also make us feel more peaceful at home.
Some people would say, well, I don't have the budget to hire someone to build my garden for me. I'd say, let's try to make one ourselves.To design our own garden, the most important thing we have to do is to decide the theme of the garden.
Choosing a Garden Theme
By theme, I'm not talking about all Disney or ninja theme. There are many garden themes, but some of the most popular formal garden, Asian theme, and tropical garden.
The formal garden is what we usually see on castles. They will have a symmetrical shape, with a clear and symmetrical pathway, and usually a pond or water fountain. The plants can varied, anything we want, basically. But they are supposed to be grouped, so they don't look cluttered. We can add some formally furnished teak garden bench and some stylish pots as accessories.
Asian garden, on the other hand, is usually cluttered, with sand or stone as the dirt. The plants, of course, are Asians. Such as bamboo, dwarf conifers, Japanese maples, or flowered fruit trees. To make it even more stylish, we can add some Chinese lanterns, a water basin, and gazebos for sitting area instead of chairs and benches.
Unlike the two themes above, trees in tropical theme garden are usually large and have lots of leaves. So, this kind of garden will be nicer in a larger space. For accessories, colorful, huge containers are fun. The good furniture to accompany this type of garden is an aluminium garden furniture, something around aluminium sun loungers and leaf ivy cast set.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's ultra-Orthodox Jews have given the Amish a walking tour of their world.
Several dozen Amish residents from Lancaster County, Pa., toured Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood with members of the Hasidic Jewish communityon Tuesday.
Rabbi Beryl Epstein, a Chattanooga, Tenn., native, calls the tour "living Judaism."
The tour began in the basement of a Hasidic library, with Epstein explaining similarities between the two communities, such as their old-fashioned dress.
The neighborhood is home to an ultra-Orthodox Lubavitcher sect born about 200 years ago in Russia.

In the Bible, Leviticus specifically forbids the eating of ravens or crows--Leviticus 11:15--depending on the translation, but "raven" was and is often used interchangeably with "crow," the former actually being a kind of the latter. And this is because the crow is a scavenger, a carrion bird. Thus, it is "unclean."
Any way you slice it, no one wants to east crow, literally or metaphorically. But we might need quite a few crows, come November 7th. Various pundits and journalists have been proclaiming the race to be over for several months now, but the First Presidential Debate brought a whole new round of such predictions. A few of these were in Romney's favor, but most were for Obama. Like this one by Jamelle Bouie:
The former Massachusetts governor won the first presidential debate. Too bad it won't change the campaign.Bouie--like other pundits offering similar predictions--marshalls up the Kerry-Bush debates in 2004 as evidence for this prediction:
It's worth looking back to the 2004 presidential debates. The unanimous opinion was that John Kerry punished George W. Bush. Whereas Bush was churlish, impatient, and aloof, Kerry was dynamic and aggressive. He came away from the debates with momentum and a boost in the polls.That debate took place on Spetember 30th, 2004 at the University of Miami. Going into the debate, Gallup had Bush up by a whopping eight points. Yes, that's right: eight points. The first Gallup poll after the debate showed a tie between the two candidates.
Twenty-two days after the final debate, Bush won reelection with 50.7 percent of the vote.
Winning debates doesn't hurt, but it doesn't do much to help either.
The issue isn't whether or not the debate helped Kerry, it's how much the debate helped him. Between that debate and the actual election--two months later--other things happened. The debate didn't win Kerry the election, it is true. But--ala the Adminsitration's Stimulus claims--one could argue that without a win in this debate, Kerry would have lost by an even wider margin, right?
Of course, I'm taking it as a given that Bouie's claim--repeated by so many other leftist pundits--about who won this debate is substantially correct: Kerry punished Bush. Post-debate polls showed most felt Kerry had won, no doubt about it. One (CNN) had it 53% to 37% for Kerry. In contrast, CNN's post Obama-Romney debate poll had it 67% to 25% for Romney. So the question must be asked, is there a similar unanimous view about this debate? Does everyone agree that Romney--at the very least--punished Obama?
Nope. Not even close. Rachel Maddow, as I noted in a previous piece, was unable to tell who won the debate. Wolf Blitzer said it was a "pretty good night for Romney." Post debate stories--while acknowledging a "win" for Romney--were mostly about Big Bird, Jim Lehrer (the debate moderator), and Obama's lackluster performance. The liberal media narrative goes something like this: "Romney won, but he bullied Lehrer; Obama should have done x,y, and z; Romney wants to kill Big Bird!"
What about the narrative after the first Bush-Kerry debate? Well okay, Bouie is right: it was all about how Kerry stomped on Bush, how bad Kerry made Bush look. But no one was wondering why Bush didn't do better, wondering why he didn't use responses x,y, or z in the debate. That's our unbiased media, isn't it?
But the point is, Kerry benefited from the debate. He was all but finished before the debate and used the momentum from it as a starting point to get in the game, eventually doing far better than most anticipated back in August or September of 2004. And Romney--going into the debate--was much closer in the polls than Kerry. So why can't this first debate represent a similar starting point for Romney? It could. And that's what people like Bouie fear. Desperately fear.
For the sake of all those poor crows, I hope he's right.
Cheers, all.

It's a very instinctive system – you just paste your text in and push the button and wham! Back comes jet-spinner syntax straight away. Spinrobot generates text that looks like it was handwritten for you. Other spinners generate gibberish. You don't really need me to tell you how important this is – after all, a rewrite that's only 30% unique, and grammatically correct is infinitely better than one which is '90% unique ', but loaded with mistakes. The reason for this is simply because all search engines nowadays use 'markov filters ' and grammatical checks to identify those kinds of mistakes, and they will happily ban your sites for making an attempt to 'game ' them. Spinrobot does, and as a web system, is consistently being updated. Search websites spot these errors simply. Just hit a button, and see what Spinrobot can do – the changes are spotlighted in orange, so there are no evil curly brackets to gaze at.

Moletrap forum
From Moletrap Wiki
The Moletrap forum, aka Not the [Word removed at the request of Steorn] Forum, aka Village of the Banned is a user forum created in October 2009 based on the same Luximo Vanilla forum software that was used by Steorn Ltd. for their user forum.
The initial purpose was to be a refuge for many of the active members who were banned as Steorn wound down and eventually closed their public forum. It was originally named Not the Steorn Forum but after a request from Steorn's then CEO, Sean McCarthy, the name was cleverly changed to Not the [Word removed at the request of Steorn] Forum.
- "Steorn have also requested [pcstru] remove the word Steorn from the forum title, claiming that it is a registered trademark. I have complied with that request and substituted a notice to that effect."[1]

At the movies
Hi readers!
Again, it's been a while. Sorry about that. The Down Days blog has been eating up most of my time and I've found it such a refreshing writing experience that I just can't help myself. Still, I've been up to some other things, too…
After taking a little break from the signings/events circuit last year to get Alan Shaw 2 finished and off to Inspired Quill, I've done a few more events. Some lovely Steampunk events, and planning for more in the future. That's gotten me bitten by the bug again, as it always does. So many lovely people are asking for the Alan Shaw sequel now, that it's quite a boost for my confidence which was waning, to be honest.
I've started work on a new novel, as well as the obvious sequel work and finishing off Emi (which is pretty much the bane of my life. I just can't seem to get in a flow with the damn thing). The new book is in the cyberpunk genre, all synthetic humans and media overcrowding. It's lovely and shiny and new in my head and that's always an amazing feeling for an author. I'm hoping you'll be reading it as soon as I can get my finger out and finish it.
What else?
Oh yeah, I've finished my first script! I've been asked by a small production company to send my ideas for them doing short films based on the Not Before Bed short stories. Of course, I started with the titular story. It's a total of three pages long (inadequacy issues, eh?) but it was really fun to do. Let's hope that they can do something with it. I'd love to see some of my short stories on a screen at some point. How cool would that be?
That's all from me right now. I hope you're all doing well and that your own projects are steaming along. Oh, and since I'm rubbish and haven't done this yet… Happy New Year!
(Hey, it's still January, so it totally counts)
Thanks for reading.

A shift in perspective
Hi everyone,
So, I think I've had a bit of a realisation moment regards the novel I'm working on. I wouldn't call it an epiphany, as such, but it's certainly kicked me in the backside.
Basically, I realised that I was writing my Cyberpunk novel from the wrong perspective. I think that 3rd person is the crutch I always lean on. At least, it's the reflex direction that I tend to take. But, as I was reading through the last part of my current WIP, (the cyberpunk novel, that is, not one of the other thousand books I need to get finished) I realised that the perspective should be first person. What better way to describe life in Shika-One City than fro behind the eyes of my protagonist? Especially since I'm trying to get across a very particular speech pattern, colloquialisms and, as I've mentioned before, a completely gender-neutral society. Do it through Xev's eyes! (Xev's name will probably change, but it was what popped into my head from the first, so I'll deal with it for now.)
The bad thing, of course, is that I now have to rewrite the first 25k of the book that I've already written. The great thing is that I haven't written anything in 1st person in ages and it'll be fun to do so. I have to admit that I love a challenge and this is a perfect one.
My other fore-brain project, Emi, is also going pretty well. I've just re-read the whole thing from the beginning and I think that it reads alright. It's another of those challenging things to write so I guess the real proof will only come out when someone reads it. I don't think that IQ will publish a novella, so I'll have to publish it myself. But that's ok. It'll be a nice little thing to add to my signing table.
And Down Days continues to do very well. We've had over 2000 hits over there, from all over the world. Every post has some kind of interaction or comments and the followers are mounting swifter than I could have ever imagined. The posts are proving nice and easy to come up with, too. That's probably because my depression rears its head in some way almost every day, but I'm trying to see silver linings. With plenty of experiences to share, there's plenty to write about.
I hope all of your writing projects are coming to fruition, too.
Thanks for reading.

Post-Christmas Post
Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good festive period. Mine was quiet as I was working the night shift and sleeping the rest of the time, but for an old Scrooge like me, that's no big deal.
In writing news…
With the first draft of The Adventures of Alan Shaw in the bag, I'm going to let it simmer a while, which means I'm at a loose end. And so, a few little side projects have sprung up for me to tinker with. Firstly, I've decided to try something completely new and out of my realms of experience in writing a graphic novel script. The basic premise can only be described as a cross between Evil Dead and Hellraiser, and who knows what means, right? I had the idea originally as a horror movie screenplay, but I just can't make the jump to the writing style and all that formatting etc. Not yet, anyway. I'm afraid the project doesn't have a title yet (Let's just call it "the comic" for now) but I'm enjoying it. Thinking of how to move the action along in snapshots instead of in prose is proving a challenge and it's keeping me entertained. Also fitting the story to the set boundaries of what would fit into a single issue of a comic, and then the story arc into a graphic novel's length is a tough one. I'm jut winging it so far. We'll see how it goes.
Also, I'm working on my non-fiction a little more. Some of you may know that I've written movie reviews for a long time now, for all kinds of different websites, and that recently ishitonyouraocalypse.com has taken me in to do exclusively horror-based reviews. Since I'm a huge horror fan, this is pretty much an invitation to disaster since I'll just end up watching even more films than ever before. I've also taken a complete tangent away from that and started to use my nursing experience to write opinion articles. Coming up with ideas is really challenging, and I doubt they'll ever get published because they're a tad…unusual. But they're great fun to write. I think I might be pitching the concepts a bit high, though, since my first one was about nurses having an existential crisis in the current NHS climate. I might want to break that one down a tad.
I've also been editing, as I may have mentioned before, someone else's novel. And THAT'S an interesting experience. It's so hard to edit your own work, to see it objectively rather than as your little paper baby, but editing other people's is pretty fun. I'm mostly sticking to grammar and punctuation at the minute, but keep branching out to suggestions on how to enhance theme, character, dialogue and all those other lovely little nuggets that make a good story. I think I could do this full-time. Definitely. In fact, I've been looking into it. What do you guys think? Would anyone be interested in my opinion on their work? Or am I getting ahead of myself? With one published novel and a flurry of short stories, I'm hardly Stephen King. But even if I haven't won the Booker Prize, I do know a hell of a lot about writing. I think I might even know more about that than nursing, which is potentially quite scary…
And so, as you can see, I've been busy. I've also been reading for my uni course, a load of T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf at the minute, which is kind of interesting and it's leading me toward reading things that are more up my alley. I'll leave it there, because I feel a subsequent blog post coming on.
Thanks for reading.

Back in the saddle
With one thing and another, editing Greaveburn and working on my Open University assignments, I've not had much time to write lately. The problem, of course, is that my current WIP isn't going to write itself either. I think there might have been an issue around my character development that I haven't been confident enough to tackle just yet. My main character (Alan Shaw, see the WIP page for more) has to fall in love with another character; enough to get hurt later. Now, for regular viewers of this particular blog channel, you'll know that romance isn't exactly my forte. Creepy beasties from the netherworld, fine. Falling hopelessly in love, not so good.
And so I've been putting it off, telling myself that I need to think about it more. That I don't understand how to write simple romance, never mind the complicated love/hate divide necessary for this part of the plot to really work. What's an author's favourite word? Procrastinate! So the assignments and Greaveburn work has been a happy distraction. Until last week.
Finding that I hadn't taken my alloted amount of holidays this year, and that I have to take them by April or lose them, I ended up with Monday through Thursday off last week. Laura was at work all day. I had just finished the latest round of assignments and no more are due for a couple of weeks. Basically, I was in the perfect position to get some serious writing done. All I could think was "shit, I'm going to have to write that romance section".
So, I set my jaw, opened my notebooks to the copious amount of research and plotting I'd done over the last couple of months when nothing else was forthcoming, and started to type…
And, as always, I was proved wrong by my own lack of confidence.
My fingers couldn't type fast enough. The images were coming thick and fast, the dialogue made sense. What my main character found compelling about his love interest was the very thing she hated in him, but they have so much in common despite wildly different cultural and social backgrounds. Where was this stuff coming from!?
Suffice to say, by the end of the four days, I hadn't exactly broken any word count records, but a good chunk of work had been produced. And, when I read it back, it was actually ok! I'll leave the final decision as to whether it works to you lovely readers when The Adventures of Alan Shaw (working title) is released eventually finished. But for now, I'm happy with it.
The next step…ripping out my main character's heart. Now that I can do!
Thanks for reading.
