Powell was suspected of shoplifting. On Wednesday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released…

Guards Burn Inmate To Death, No One Charged

This is an old story with recent updates. The story is so obscene it demands far more national attention than the Ferguson shooting does.

~1 Out Of Every 208 Homes Have Been SWAT Raided
by Michael Suede •
Rough back-of-the-envelope calculation: 117,538,000 households in the US. It's reported that 50,000 to 80,000 SWAT raids have occurred per year since the mid 2000's; so let's use 2004 as a starting point for a 10 year span of time. That works out to around 1 out of every 235 households on the low end. Assuming there…

My Nintendo DS Lite was a WONDERFUL birthday gift that I received 3 years ago. One of the games I received with my first DS was Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, I raised an eyebrow at the choice and focused on the other 2 games I received. Now here I am on a DS XL all this time later, and for the hell of it I finally pick up this game. From the moment I started it I was hooked, I completed this game in a few days. That's probably slow for the serious gamers out there, but for someone who plays video games as casually as I do, that's really fast.
This game doesn't have much for plot, the Plob attack your city (Boinburg) and kidnap everyone but you. You have to run around the country and rescue your entire city which consists of 100 slimes. Each slime is trapped in a treasure chest in the dungeons. To rescue some slimes you need to defeat a member of the plog in a tank battle using the Schleiman Tank. Boss battles usually free a member of Slime Royalty. The simple plot premise is fine by me, I'm into this game for the tank battles, cheerful environment, and to collect everything!
The largest con about this game is that it's fairly easy. You're given a considerable amount of health, and there are many opportunities to jump on the tracks and go back home to heal. The tank battles typically gave you opponents that were easy to beat as well. There is only really one "rival" during the game that is a challenge. But the tank battles were so much fun I didn't mind, I just made trying to have a perfect battle my goal. Also, after you defeat the game harder tank battles open up. When it comes to exploring the dungeons in this game, there really weren't any particularly difficult puzzles. Just make sure you enter every area of the map, and interact with every moveable object you see. You'll probably discover everything you need to without issue. AND even if you do miss something each level has a "To Do" list that shows you how many slimes, items, and monster you have left to collect. So if you miss something, you don't have to go through the entire game trying to figure out where you missed it. Each slime you rescue will also give hints on what to do next.
This is my first Dragonquest game and I REALLY enjoyed myself, it was almost exactly what I was looking for at the time when I picked it up. I loved collecting items, a crew, and creating ammunition for my tank. The cheerful colors and characters were great. The only thing I would change would be to make it a bit more difficult for the older gamers. If this game has a well rated sequel, I'll definitely buy it. And this time I won't take 3 years to finally getting around to playing it.

I was terrified; frozen with fear. My knees were beginning to wobble. My vision blurred.
Standing on an aluminium platform a little thicker than a dirham, on a scaffolding 60m up – that's 20 floors high – in the Ulu Temburong National Park in Brunei, I braced myself, not looking down. When I did finally steal a glance, all I could see were the tops of rainforest trees and the few wires that tethered the scaffolding in place.
The structure, built for research purposes a decade ago, had since been converted to a viewing platform, and is a popular tourist draw. Keen to follow in the researchers' footsteps I, in a moment of macho bravado, had volunteered to climb some 100 steps up to the sky bridge leading to four seemingly flimsy towers, each taller than the last but with platforms that offer spectacular views of the forest and the surrounding areas.
'For the best views you need to be on the tallest tower,' our guide had said. So here I was now, on a 2mx2m platform, dizzy with acrophobia. There was no harness, no safety wire – just me and my darned bravado.
Taking a deep breath, I gripped the waist-high handrails, only to realise they were becoming slippery… and it wasn't just because of my sweaty palms. I was precariously walking along a bridge high above the forest floor, hyperventilating, and now, to top it all, it was raining.
'Awesome view, huh?' shouted out Cristina, one of the women in our group, ahead of me.
'Yes,' I croaked, blinking in the drizzle, trying not to lose consciousness.
Then, abruptly, a light breeze began and the walkway began to sway.
It was day one of my five-day trip to Brunei and Malaysian Borneo, and here I was stuck on the top of a rainforest. Desperate to make my way down before the sharp drizzle graduated to a downpour, I wondered what other adventures lay in store for me.
The previous day, we – a group of seven journalists and three tour coordinators – had landed in Brunei's capital Bandar Seri Begawan bright-eyed despite the eight-hour flight from Dubai, thanks to the swanky new Royal Brunei Airlines' Dreamliner aircraft that offers much more leg room than many regular flights, allowing even economy-class passengers to stretch out and relax.
A 15-minute drive took us to the glitzy Empire Hotel & Country Club. 'If you like, you could enjoy a round of golf tomorrow on the hotel's 18-hole green,' the duty manager had suggested. 'And tonight you can watch the premiere of Spectre at the hotel's private 100-seat cinema.'
I'd decided to give the movie a miss. After all, our trip's itinerary looked as exciting and adventurous as any of James Bond's dangerous missions. So, instead, I relaxed in the plush deluxe room, recharging my batteries to get ready for the day ahead.
Post a fabulous breakfast at the Atrium, we'd set off for the jetty – 20 minutes away – from where we would take a longboat ride down the 15km-long River Sungai Temburong to Ulu Ulu Resort.
Ulu, in Brunei Malay, means far, and Ulu Ulu means, back of beyond. Clearly, the longboat appeared to be from there too.
Basically a canoe, it held five people and once we were on board, the vessel sat barely 7cm above the Bournvita-coloured water – a result of the overnight rains that flooded the river with muddy water from the adjoining forests.
Strapping on a life jacket, I'd clasped the sides as the boat man – or kid, he looked not a day over 16 – had yanked the outboard's zip cord and the motor had spluttered to life. A twist of the throttle and the longboat took off, its prow slicing through the brown waters.
Gunning the engine at around 20 knots (around 35kmph) down the swift and winding river, the skipper had then proceeded to make sure those sitting at the rear got drenched by the boat-churned spray every time it negotiated submerged boulders and huge logs.
By the time he'd deftly brought the vessel to a stop near the resort's jetty half an hour later, I realised my morning shower in the hotel had been an utter waste of time. A refreshing drink later, we'd set off on a trek into the forests. The overnight rain had left parts of the trail slushy, and climbing the steep slopes saw us slipping and sliding.
A one-km near-vertical climb later we'd reached the Canopy Towers where I'd challenged myself to climb the shaky scaffolding.
Now after a nerve-wracking three minutes on the viewing platform, which felt like an hour, I gingerly began making my way down. Perhaps it was the joy of knowing that I would be touching earth soon, but I was down in half the time it took me to climb up.
While the others who had made it to the top were oohing and aahing about the once-in-a-lifetime experience, I admitted that I felt 'right on top of the world'. It was the truth and quite literally, too.
Back in Bandar Seri Begawan after another wet longboat ride – thanks this time to a thundershower aiding the boatman – we were off to Kota Kinabalu or KK, in Malaysian Borneo, a 40-minute flight from Brunei.
A former British colonial trading post, KK, the capital of Malaysia's Sabah district, is a bustling sea port and one of the country's fastest-growing cities. It was past midnight when we landed and a fleet of luxurious cars drove us swiftly from the airport to the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal 20 minutes away – the entrance to the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
A cluster of five islands that's a haven for water sport and beach enthusiasts, the park also hosts Gayana Eco Resort and the Bunga Raya Resort – two high-end hotels where we would be spending a couple of days each.
Usually busy during the day, the terminal at 1am, however, was desolate, and a 40-minute boat ride later we dropped anchor at the award-winning Bunga Raya Island Resort and Spa.
Situated in Malaysian Borneo, south east Asia's biggest island and made up of two Malaysian states of Sabah and Serawak, the property boasts fabulous facilities including three restaurants and the Solace spa. But tired after the previous day's adventures, I stumbled into the feather-soft bed and was asleep within seconds…
Up at 7am, I stepped out on the balcony of my luxurious villa on stilts to a view so spectacular it looked like one straight out of a travel brochure. On the one side were thick rainforest trees with birds chirping away, while down below was a fairy-tale-like pathway from the resort's lobby winding up to the 47 luxurious villas that dotted the mountainside. Barely 50m away, waves of the South China Sea gently lapped a crescent-shaped white beach.
Meaning hibiscus in Malay, Bunga Raya stands on a pristine coral reef that boasts lush tropical vegetation and natural wildlife and is a magnet for tourists who prefer enjoying nature with a dollop of luxury. From snorkelling and underwater fish feeding to sea-walking, sunset cruises and coral planting, there are loads of things to do in case you get bored lazing on the snow-white sands.
I wanted to do all of them, but first, I had to have breakfast at Koi, one of the three restaurants. 'We get a lot of couples who prefer to spend their honeymoon here,' said the manager of the hotel, during breakfast. As if on cue, a couple walked by, hand in hand, the man whispering some joke into the ear of the woman, who began giggling.
After tucking into, among other things, delicious Malaysian delicacies such as nasi lemak – a rich creamy rice cooked in coconut milk and served with fried anchovies, cucumber, a hard-boiled egg and a slightly sweet spicy sauce called sambal – I perused the list of the day's activities. There was jungle trekking and zip-lining in the morning. I, of course, signed up for both, although I had no idea what zip-lining was.
'Since you loved the sky walk in Brunei, I'm sure you'll enjoy zip-lining,' Amir, the trip coordinator, said to me. I gulped.
After a 30-minute exciting trek through the thick forests of Borneo, with the guide stopping regularly to identify plants and insects, including at one point a monitor lizard that was motionless on a tree, we reached the zip-line area. Rising 35m above the jungle floor, the zip line stretches 60m to the first platform on a tree, and from there another line snakes 80m to the final landing platform.
As I looked down from the take-off platform, butterflies took wing in my stomach. But I'd decided – I would do it.
The first woman to go screamed as she raced along the wire to the landing platform. 'It was awesome,' she said afterwards, still trembling with excitement.
'You next, sir,' said the zip-line guy.
I went meekly, a grin plastered on my face while he triple-checked the clips and hooks.
'Ready?' he asked, and when I gave the thumbs up – whoosh I went, zipping down the line. The feeling of wind in the face as my feet skimmed the tops of the trees was breathtaking. But the around 10-second first ride was over too quickly.
The second leg was longer, and this time I savoured the ride and shrieked in excitement looking down at the treetops. 'Awesome,' I agreed.
On the way back, the guide said the resort also offers snorkelling, kayaking and diving options, but I decided it was time to head to the spa, where I signed up for a bamboo massage.
'Do you know what it is?' asked a friend, intrigued by the name.
'I will in a few minutes,' I grinned.
Ninety minutes later I could tell him that it included a soothing massage followed by a gentle stroking and rolling with a length of bamboo. Awesome.
A sumptuous lunch at Koi later, I scouted the hotel. Thanks to its offshore location, there is little by way of typical city nightlife and entertainment options at Bunga Raya. 'But we can arrange boats to take you to KK,' offered the manager. 'There's a quaint Filipino Market on the mainland, which is a popular draw.' And those keen to do some beach-hopping can check out the five islands of Manukan, Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik and Sulug – each ideal to spend time on the sand and in the sun.
But I preferred relaxing in the fabulous resort, looking forward to the next day. On the agenda: a visit into the jungles to meet a headhunting tribe. This is no recruitment agency, but descendants of a tribe that up until recently used to collect the heads of their enemies to prove their strength and bravery.
'Really?' I asked Amir. 'We're meeting a real headhunting tribe?'
'Yes,' he said, earnestly.
We headed to the Mari Mari Cultural village, in Kionsom, Inanam, about two hours away from the hotel.
A touristy museum of sorts, deep in the forest about 18km from KK, Mari Mari showcases traditional homes, culture and rituals of the five major tribes of the Sabah district – the Kadazan-Dusuns, peaceful rice farmers; Rungus, who live in quaint longhouses; Lundayehs, hunters and fishermen; Bajau who raise cattle; and the Muruts, the famously fierce headhunters.
'Call me Rik,' said a young man who belonged to the Rungu tribe. 'I'm your guide for today. But first your team needs to choose a leader.'
Almost instantly I heard several in the group shout out my name, and was secretly pleased to be so popular, until Rik said 'Good, you will be the first to meet the headhunting tribe.'
Tales of headhunters have always fascinated me. Muruts, I'd read, were fierce warriors. A young Murut man had to bring back at least one head to his tribal chief to prove he was grown-up enough to get married. The more skulls he collected, the greater his prestige in the tribe. The number of skulls displayed outside the huts in the village was an indication of the strength and bravery of its inhabitants. 'The skulls also served as a warning to raiding tribes not to mess with them,' said Rik, a pleasant chap, always smiling. 'It was common for bachelors to conduct regular headhunting raids to prove they were ready to marry.'
Headhunting was reportedly practised up until the Second World War when the Japanese occupied Borneo. 'But you don't have to worry,' assured Rik. 'Since you are the leader, I'll give you some tips.
'One, don't laugh or look them in the eye. They consider that as aggression. Two, if they ask you questions – I shall of course translate for you – answer clearly and without fear. Three, don't put your hands in your pockets or behind your back because it indicates you could be carrying a weapon and they might attack you.'
I nodded and set off a tad reluctantly behind Rik into the forest, with the others following. Suddenly from a tall tree, two tribal men, bare chested and with huge spears, leaped in front, shrieking loudly.
For the second time in less than a week I froze. One of them then came up and placed his hand on my shoulder, barking out a warning. 'He's asking where you are from?' translated Rik.
I answered. Another command. 'He wants to know why you are here?' said Rik.
'To meet them. We come in peace,' I offered, like a modern-day Indiana Jones. Rik mumbled something in headhunter lingo. The two men circled our group menacingly, then, as swiftly as they appeared, they melted into the forest. The mock – or at least I hoped so – threatening welcome over, we headed into the area.
Part of the tour included using a blow pipe to shoot arrows – I fared well enough to be offered an honorary membership into the tribe – tasting indigenous culinary nibbles such as steamed rice and chicken cooked in a bamboo, and seeing up close how they lived not so long ago.
'Very few tribals continue to live like their predecessors did,' Rik said. 'Development has reached even the remotest area in this region. Tribespeople today go to schools and colleges and are employed in the government and private sectors.'
A short tour of the area later, it was time to head to Gayana Eco Resort – our second destination.
Resting on the edges of a lush coral reef island off the coast of Borneo, the resort boasts 52 villas all built on stilts and resting above the pristine blue waters of the South China Sea. The villas offer fabulous views of the 4,096m Mt Kinabalu – from where the city of KK takes its name.
Borneo is one of most important biological sites in the world, home to around 6,000 species of plants, over 300 species of birds, and more than 100 species of mammals, including the world renowned orangutan. 'The resort was built on stilts over the sea to preserve the eco-sensitive mountainous area while causing virtually no damage to the water,' I read in the hotel catalogue.
The award-winning five-star resort is also home to the Marine Ecology Research Centre (Merc), which is passionately involved in propagating the endangered giant clams and restoring the natural coral reefs.
With four restaurants including a Chinese seafood one named Alu Alu, this luxurious pearl in the ocean is just perfect to relax in.
The next day after a short educational session at the Merc on how giant clams are being cultivated – a tad boring, particularly when the luxurious villa, the placid blue waters and exciting water activities were beckoning – we headed off for lunch at the Macac restaurant.
Later that evening, thick dark clouds started gathering and before you could say Kota Kinabalu, the skies opened up. Seated on the villa's balcony with a coloured umbrella-dunked beverage for company, it was sheer bliss to stare out at the sea. But it was getting late. The boat to KK was leaving in a few hours, from where we would fly back to Brunei and then to Dubai.
Hours later, snuggled under a warm blanket in the plush business class of Royal Brunei Airlines, I relived the most exciting moments of the trip. From the heights of the aluminium towers to the boat rides on the water to relaxing and dining in the award-winning resorts... the five days had been mind-blowingly awesome.
'Would you do it again – the canopy sky walk?' asked a friend.
'Umm yes,' I said. 'You know what? This trip has cured me of my acrophobia.'

Maybe it's a sign of recovery in the financial services industry: Wall Street's two most renowned women dropouts have settled on what to do next. Yesterday on Postcards, you read Sallie Krawcheck's bizarre tale of her bumpy road on the way to Bank of America . Today, news broke that former Morgan Stanley co-president Zoe Cruz is starting a hedge fund.
Cruz, who spent her entire career at Morgan Stanley (starting as a summer associate in 1981), got fired by CEO John Mack almost two years ago, taking the hit for the firm's huge trading losses. This morning, the Wall Street Journal reported that she has begun recruiting employees for her new firm, to be called Voras Capital Management. The name refers to a mountainous region near where Cruz grew up in Greece.
Famouly press-shy, Cruz declined to talk about her plans. In fact, she has not spoken publicly for many years--except for one interview that she did with me in September 2007, shortly before her ouster at Morgan Stanley. Cruz told me then that she never planned her career. "When you don't plan, things are easier," she said. She was interested in one thing, she explained: "Leading an organization to be No. 1."
Now hoping to launch her hedge fund with at least $200 million, Cruz is starting from scratch for the first time in her life. That name, Voras, suggests where she hopes her business will go: "Voras" is Greek for "north."

Fiddes Hard Wax Oil 2.5 litre
Enter area to be covered
Coats: 2
Amount Req.
Fiddes Hardwax Oil 2.5 litre blends natural oils and waxes together, creating outstanding toughness and resilience for wooden flooring and other internal woodwork.
Guaranteed not to peel or flake, Fiddes Hardwax Oil can be used on Wooden Flooring, Furniture, Kitchen Worktops and Doors where there can be a high extent of wear. It has a good R11 slip resistance rating and is suitable for application on to children's toys.
To clean a Hard Wax oiled finish use Fiddes Surface Cleaner, tough enough to clean but gentle enough not to damage the Hard Wax Oil finish.

Please see our Floor Finishes section for our full range of alternative products, including Briwax Hard Wax Oil, Mylands Hardwax Earth Oil and Osmo Polyx Oil Original, plus the New low odour water-bourne Liberon Hard Wax Oil.
Recoatable 4-6 hours
Brush applied
Coverage 20 SqMtrs per Litre per Coat
2 coats required
Clean equipment with White Spirits
A quality hardwax oil that gives a sophisticated finish.
Really pleased with the finish of this product, gave an ever so slight shine when it catches the light and a really even finish. (no patchy areas). Dries quickly and seems durable, but time will tell. Quick advice apply really thinly, then wipe away all excess with lint free clothes as you go, and work quickly finishing all the coat in one go.
Used this product previously looks good on oak flooring.
We used this product on our 80 sq.m lounge oak floor 8 years ago - it is still as good as new except where we walk between the kitchen and lounge which needs a clean and reapplication. We also used on oak staircase which is now beginning to need a clean and touch up. Perfectly acceptable after 8 years
1st class product but coverage over estimated. 1 litre would have been plenty but going by what it says for the area to be covered, I should have needed 2.5 ltrs which is what I purchased. Only used just over a 3rd of the tin so have loads left over.
Good quality product delivered very quickly
excellent product as described
Good coverage, have used before so know that it is hard wearing.Nice satin finish.

If you already have a waxed floor that needs further treatment please see either Jenkins Paste Floor Wax or Fiddes Liquid Floor Wax which is a quick drying, easy to apply wax, ideally suited to be used on previously treated floors to preserve and improve the existing sheen.
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any previous applications. Fill any cracks or holes with a mixture of sanding dust and a floor filler such as Fiddes Joint Filler Gel. Sand the underlying layer with a fine 150 grade sanding paper or 150 grit sanding disc and clear all dust particles.
Application: Fiddes Hardwax Oil is formulated for application directly and does not require thinning.
Ensure the area to be coated has good ventilation whilst applying the oil. Always test on a small area prior to initial application to establish end result. No primer is required and apply two coats. Always use at room temperature.
First Coat: Apply THINLY using a good quality bristle brush such as Mako Woodcare brush and lay EVENLY, following the direction of the grain. Always stir Hard Wax Oil contents thoroughly before and during use and apply in a warm, well ventilated room.
Remove any surplus Hard Wax Oil immediately with a cloth, carefully checking all areas for any excess application. Leave to dry 4-6 hours in warm, dry well ventilated condition. For best results leave overnight.
Second Coat: Apply as first coat with good ventilation. Leave to dry 4-6 hours in warm, dry well ventilated condition, or again, if at all possible, overnight. When the surface area is completely dry, a light buffing will further add to the sheen level.

Youth's slide into crime abruptly arrested
A couple of hours trapped in grime ended Porou Wrathall's career in crime.
Police found the skinny teenager stuck in a fatty pipe at Mr Fish and Chips shop in Langdons Rd, Papanui, about 2.30am on June 17, after they were alerted by neighbours who heard Wrathall's cry for help.
Yesterday an embarrassed but relieved Wrathall, 18 and a first offender, told The Press the offence had occurred during a drunken moment and was "the start and end" of his criminal career.
He had just appeared in the Christchurch District Court, where his conviction for burglary was penalised with an order he come up for sentence if called upon within 12 months.
In some ways, he had already paid dearly for his stupidity. He was stuck in the greasy fish and chip shop extractor vent for several hours. A steel support was jammed between his buttocks, he was caked in fat and he was cold and sore. He then spent four days in hospital due to hypothermia and kidney problems caused by the confinement.
Although he wasn't saying much yesterday, he may have also realised his misdeed would go down in the annals of criminal cock-ups.
"It is a rather embarrassing lesson to learn about the effects of alcohol," Judge Stan Thorburn, who chuckled when shown photographs of Wrathall in the vent, told him in the Christchurch District Court.
"When I chuckle, I hope he realises it's not with derision. This is such an ironical situation isn't it," the judge said to Wrathall's lawyer, Donald Dixon.
He also ordered Wrathall to pay $1563 in repair costs and $200 for the police's costs in rescuing him.
"The police have got better things to do than get blokes like you out of pipes," he said.
"[I'm] expecting you have got enough stuff in your cranium to work out what's going on here that we oughtn't to see you back here again. Take care."
Dickson said his client had not had a drink since the event.

Presenting a paper on the findings of my research into quality checking in Australia has been a unique experience. Firstly because I was able to share our work widely and secondly because I was able to meet with people from all over the world and listen to their life stories.
Choice Support employs around 30 people with learning disabilities as Quality Checkers to monitor services. They bring a uniquely informed perspective to their work, because they all have first-hand experience of services. Read more details about Thomas' research here.
I was attending the International Association for Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities World Congress in Melbourne, Australia. I am grateful to Choice Support for sponsoring this trip for me and I hope the contacts I met down under will bring more collaborative work to the organisation.
My presentation attracted people from different countries and also many people with disabilities. The findings of research on quality checking went down a storm. Especially because Australia has a new system of providing support to disabled people called the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which is being rolled out gradually across the country.
People in the audience were genuinely interested in the impact of quality checking and the value of utilising the skills and experience of people who are at the receiving end of support.
I also had a poster presentation on the development of language of people with Down's Syndrome. This meant that delegates looked around at all the posters on display and I stood close to my poster to explain it and answer questions if needed.
During the conference I made contacts with people with and without disabilities from across the globe and I've heard stories from people from Japan and Malaysia, to Canada and Denmark! This was all extremely valuable for the development of our work in the UK and in the organisation.
After the conference in Melbourne I visited the Centre of Disability Studies at the University of Sydney were I trained a group of self-advocates and other professional on how to become Quality Checkers.
Thomas Doukas (5th right at back of photo) with the Inclusive Research Team lead by Professor Patricia O'Brien, who had invited him to do the Quality Checking training at the Center of Disabilities Studies, University of Sydney.
I was received with great enthusiasm and once again people I met in Sydney were genuinely interested in our work and on how they can implement similar methods in Australia.

Now, I could kick this off by talking about Scala and it's immutability, statelessness, object-orientedness and functional programming, etc. but there are tons of resources for that, so I won't waste your time. I will, however, talk about concurrency through the Actor model[1], which have been making a bit of a resurgence in the last few years with the reactive programming[2] slowly becoming as popular as object oriented programming, itself. This is going to be a hands on learning approach, with some mention of concurrency fashioned by other systems.
The following diagram represents the Actor system, which is entirely based on passing messages between actors.
Prerequisites: You'll want to install Scala and SBT. This guide was written for Mac OS X users.
An Akka Actor
Let's start by cloning the roblayton/scala-actors-example repository. Run git clone https://github.com/roblayton/scala-actors-example.git from the command line and take a look at the code in HelloActor.scala:
package com.roblayton.example import akka.actor.Actor class HelloActor extends Actor { def receive = { case "hello" => println("hello to you as well") case "how are you?" => println("doing fine") case _ => println("message not recognized") } }
This actor has one job- respond to messages matched by the receive method by printing lines to the console. While the program is running, this actor will occupy one thread, doing nothing until a message is received. Both Scala actors and Akka actors have the same fundamental traits, since they're based on the Actor model, which have the ability to receive and react to messages according to their context, send messages to other actors, and create new actors. The Actor model also provides certain guarantees:
- Any actor will only handle a single message at a time
- An actor's internal state can only be mutated from the receive function
- Messages sent by actor A to actor B will arrive in the order they were transmitted
Instantiating Our Actors
Now, we'll be sending messages from our program's main entry point. You'll find code that instantiate two types of actors, but we're only concerned with HelloActor, at the moment. This will involve the following lines of code within Main.scala:
var system = ActorSystem("HelloSystem") var helloActor = system.actorOf(Props[HelloActor], name = "helloactor")
We start by instantiating our ActorSystem and make a call to actorOf which returns an instance of ActorRef, providing you with the ability to interact with the Actor. The ActorRef is immutable and can be serialized and used on a remote host, maintaining its one to one relationship with the Actor on the original node across the network[3]. Notice we're also instantiating an Actor that can accept parameters, using slightly different syntax to instantiate the second Actor, HelloActorWithArgs.scala:
var helloActorWithArgs = system.actorOf(Props(new HelloActorWithArgs("Rob")), name = "helloactorwithargs")
Sending Messages to Our Actors
Sending messages to our Actors can now be done with the following syntax:
helloActor ! "hello" helloActor ! "how are you?" helloActor ! "goodbye" ... helloActorWithArgs ! "what's your name?" helloActorWithArgs ! "goodbye"Run sbt run from the root directory in your terminal and you will see the following output, which shows our messages being handled in parallel:
[info] Running com.roblayton.example.Main hello to you as well my name is Rob doing fine message not recognized message not recognized
Ping Pong
To demonstrate an example of Actors communicating between each other, please clone and run my scala-pingpong-example:
git clone https://github.com/roblayton/scala-pingpong-example.git cd scala-pingpong-example sbt run
Notice how we're also instantiating both Actors up front, but we're passing the ActorRef along, allowing one of the Actors to pass messages to the other:
var system = ActorSystem("PingPongSystem") val pong = system.actorOf(Props[PongActor], name="pong") var ping = system.actorOf(Props(new PingActor(20, pong)), name = "ping")

Top 10 Vinnie Vincent Songs
Former Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent's career may have lacked stability and consistency – but as this list of his best songs demonstrates, it certainly featured moments of brilliance.
Vincent is best known for his brief early '80s stint as the Ankh Warrior, Ace Frehley's first replacement as Kiss' lead guitarist. His songwriting and playing on 1982's Creatures of the Night and 1983's Lick it Up helped band mainstays Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons recover from a nasty career tailspin and return to platinum-selling status, but personal and creative disagreements soon forced his exit from the group.
He then became the leader of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, who had a pair of minor hit albums before splitting up in 1989. Soon after that, Kiss gave Vincent another shot, this time just as a songwriter. He rewarded them by contributing to three of the best songs on 1992's acclaimed Revenge – then to hear them tell it, quickly burned that bridge a second time. Over the following years, Vincent faded into exile, turning up only in random stories about arrests and clothing auctions.
Naturally, most of the songs on this list of the Top 10 Vinnie Vincent Songs come from his equally fruitful and tumultuous stints with Kiss and the Invasion. But we found a few other hidden gems that are well worth your time, and which can't help but make us hope his career isn't as over as it seems to be.
1988's second and final Vinnie Vincent Invasion album, All Systems Go, gave most of the world their last glimpse of Mr. Vincent. But at least the strange path his life would follow didn't come before Vincent and his backing band (who, by the way, would soon defect and launch Slaughter) delivered a final batch of irrepressible glam-thrashers such as "Breakout."
"Wild Child"
Taken from Vinnie Vincent's final release, the Euphoria EP, "Wild Child" showed the guitarist had lost none of his pop-metal vigor during his time out of the spotlight in the first half of the '90s. The presence of old associate Robert Fleischman also helped bridge the gap back to the first, promising Vinnie Vincent Invasion album. Sadly, it's been nearly 20 years of silence since then.
And now for tonight's trivia question! Who co-wrote the song "Tears," as recorded in yacht rock format in 1982 by then-former Kiss drummer Peter Criss, and with rather more rock bite in 1984 by former Babys and future Bad English frontman John Waite? Why the one and only Vincent Cusano, who would later be renamed, you guessd it.. Vinnie Vincent.
"Boyz Gonna Rock"
The opening statement from the Vinnie Vincent's first album, "Boyz Gonna Rock" shot '80s glam metal into outer space (heck, almost into the loony bin) on the strength of Vincent's highly explosive fret-board work. A popular Headbangers Ball staple, the song's video contained more lace, spandex, poofy hair and reckless pouting per square inch than the average Friday night on the Sunset Strip.
"All Hell's Breaking Loose"
One of those truly underrated Kiss tracks, the surprisingly funky "All Hell's Breaking Loose" led the charge into Lick it Up's second half with the help of a hooky circular riff, a stinging solo from Vinnie, and some "no s—" actual rapping from Paul Stanley. This song clearly qualifies as one of Kiss' most interesting songs, just as Vincent earned his spot as one of their most interesting guitarists in his brief tenure with the band.
Vinnie Vincent returned to Kiss' good graces barely long enough to collaborate with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons on a trio of solid cuts on 1992's Revenge album. Among these, the unusually foreboding "Unholy" barely edges the more conventional Kiss sounds of "Heart of Chrome" and "I Just Wanna" to earn a slot in our list of Top 10 Vinnie Vincent Songs. Too bad the song's icy, vengeful mood soon came to represent the state of Simmons' and Stanley's opinions about Vinnie.
No song epitomizes the frantic, hairspray-coated abandon of the two Vinnie Vincent Invasion LPs better than the absolutely bonkers "Twisted." From its studio-concocted introductory stutter, through Robert Fleischman's hysterical vocal barrage, and cresting with Vinnie's incendiary solo, "Twisted" is a breathless bungee jump into the '80s glam metal scene's bottomless pit of excess.
"I Still Love You"
For all the songs they've written over the years, Kiss have only delivered a handful of truly memorable ballads. Although Peter Criss' "Beth" obviously towers above all the rest in popularity, the longtime Paul Stanley vocal live showcase "I Still Love You" just might be the better song.
"I Love it Loud"
Ace Frehley's mug may have been on the original cover, but Creatures of the Night secretly marked Vinnie Vincent's arrival in Kiss. He's credited with co-writing three songs, and reportedly played the solos on six. "I Love it Loud" was that fantastic album's most popular and enduring track, earning it a spot near the top of our Top 10 Vinnie Vincent Songs list – even if it contains perhaps the most uneventful, near-remedial guitar solo of Vinnie's career.
"Lick it Up"
When all is said and done, the song most people will remember Vinnie Vincent by is "Lick it Up": the title track from Kiss' make-up removing album of the same name, for which Vincent contributed co-writes on a stunning eight of ten tracks. Coincidentally, Lick it Up proved to be the lead guitarist's only credit as an officially recognized member of Kiss. For all the animosity that followed, there's little doubt that Vincent gave the band a new lease on life, while demonstrating amazing (and uncharacteristic) technical restraint on this unforgettable tune.

Wimpel Samples Shown at a Meeting
These pictures were taken at a meeting for the Sacramento Jewish Genealogical Society. Bonnie Kaplan was invited to speak and show some of the wimpelin that she had made. The wimpel with the children's photos flanking the ends of the fabric, was created for a young couple, Monica Cheron and Scott Shapiro, prior to their wedding. Their concept was articulated to represent their evolvement from childhood to the time of their union by marriage. A chosen Torah Scroll was bound with this wimpel, to be presented at the couples Auf Ruf. Coincidentally, the central words of the wimpel prayer, Ha Shem, fell in the exact middle of the length of their wimpel fabric, thus enriching the concept. Monica elected to ink in the Hebrew letters and chose the variety of colors we see. To date, the names of their two children are to be noted on their wimpel.
A Sacramento family has rediscovered the meaning of the tradition of the wimpel, spanning two generations with an uncanny connection. On December 8, 1996, a Torah Dedication ceremony, scheduled to include the showing of this wimpel, to a local congregation. Details provided information that the wimpel was originally made just outside of Heidelberg, Germany in 1929, for Harry Spatz, father of Laura Spatz Weisberg. When the Spatz family left Germany and immigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1936, the wimpel was taken along. Spatz, in turn, brought it to America when he left Argentina, at the age of 17 in 1946. The wimpel was next passed to his daughter Laura, who willingly shared it with the founder of wimpel.org. It was the information provided by Harry Spatz to this site that assisted Laura's distant family to locate her from far off Israel and ultimately support their family reunification. ("A New Branch Grows on an Old Family Tree" Read the entire story of this saga in The Voice: Your Source for Local and Global News, The Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region, Mar, 2014, pg. 11)

Twenty years ago, on Sept 28, 1997, the Springfield UU Congregation dedicated the Peace Pole on the patio outside the sanctuary. We'll commemorate this event and rededicate the Peace Pole in our intergenerational worship service on September 24. If the weather permits, part of the service will be outside on the patio. Learning how to live peacefully in the world, with each other, with the Earth, with folks of all religions and races, is the aim of religions. We'll tie this event in with our theme for the year, "Exploring the World's Religions – Paths to Peace." The choir is preparing some special music. In the service on September 24, we'll re-dedicate not just the pole, but more importantly ourselves, to this crucial work of being instruments of peace in our beautiful and broken world. In this fractious time, peace-keepers and peace cultivators are critically needed. —————————————————————————————————————————————–September 10: Annual Water Communion In-Gathering with Rev. M'ellen Kennedy
We commence our church year as we reconvene our community after the summer months when we've had less gatherings. Each of us is welcome to bring water collected from our summer excursions and combine the waters together as a symbol of our community reassembling. We'll explore water as a symbol of spirituality. Join us as we embark on a year- long exploration of the world's religions and take a dive into the depth of our souls
We'll continue exploring the world's religions, this week through dance. The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative, joyous, multi-cultural circle dances that use sacred phrases, chants, music and movements to touch the spiritual essence in ourselves and recognize it in others. No musical or dance experience of any kind is required. And everyone is welcome (but not pressured) to join in. The Dances focus on PEACE — creating a sense of solidarity and community, while celebrating and understanding the unity of all spiritual traditions on the Earth. Come and be a part of the circle that connects all of humanity. Sandra Walia Guillow is a seasoned and enthusiastic dance leader from Connecticut who will help us find ease and grace and will be accompanied by her musician husband Shems WIlliam Guillow.
