Author: Robbie Adler-Tapia PhD, Carolyn Settle MSW, LCSW
This second edition teaches therapists to effectively use the entire EMDR therapy eight-phased treatment with children of all ages from infants to adolescents. The book details changes to the phases of EMDR therapy (history taking, case conceptualization, and treatment planning) along with alterations to case conceptualization for target identification and organization. It incorporates newly published research documenting current evidence-based support of EMDR therapy with children.
Basic skills for using EMDR therapy with children are explained, as well as transitions to more advanced skills for working with infants and toddlers, children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and children in the welfare system. It integrates play therapy and other forms of expressive therapies. Specialty topics on using EMDR therapy include case conceptualization with diagnoses defined by the DSM-5 and ICD-10, newborn/neonate diagnoses, children with chemical dependency, and many more. Case studies woven throughout the text clearly demonstrate EMDR therapy applications, and summaries of published evidence support the efficacy of EMDR therapy, including studies from WHO and SAMHSA. Expanded to include all eight phases of EMDR therapy for infants and toddlers, preteens, and adolescents, this book continues to be the foundational EMDR text for therapists working with children.

Thank you. I'm going to try this on your recommendation. Been looking for new things lately.

Thanks for the recommendation, Shirley. I agree--it's not always necessarily to rigorously hide the identity of the culprit. Sometimes, I just like to be along for the ride!

Yep, being along for the ride is great, Marcelle. It also takes pressure off the poor old writer and perhaps helps them to deliver a better story...

Oh, I'll have to check that book out. :)
It's such a fine balance between planting enough clues that the reader can feel like they're solving the mystery, but also keeping things a mystery so that there's a twist. Plotting that kind of book makes my brain all twisty like a pretzel. :)

As one theory goes: It's not the crime that holds a reader's attention; it's the life of the sleuth as he/she struggles to solve the crime that's the true story. Well, many theories, many stories. An interesting look at crime fiction, Shirley. Thank you.

Yes, do check it out Anne Marie. It's brilliant! And I'm with you on the twisty brain, LOL.

Yes, that's one of my favourite theories, Jean.

Web Safe Color Palette
Below is the web safe color palette (also known as browser-safe palette, Netscape palette, 216 palette, web palette, and the 6x6x6 color cube). Use these colors if you prefer to use only colors from the web safe color palette. The shorthand hexadecimal value is written below each color so you can copy and paste the shorthand hex color code into your HTML.
You can use hex shorthand for the websafe colors (just as you see them in the chart above). It's easy to convert hex to shorthand (and vice versa) because each shorthand digit represents two in hexadecimal. For example, shorthand of
#F06 would be
#FF0066 in hexadecimal. Don't forget to preceed the shorthand value with a
Here's more about hex color codes.
Remember, this color code chart represents the 216 web safe color palette. You can actually use any hexadecimal value you like. The web safe color palette was popular in the early days of the web when computers had less color capability. Some were only able to display 256 colors for example. Now, most computers connected to the web - even handheld devices - can view millions of colors, and the web safe color palette has become virtually irrelevant. That being said, the web safe color palette can still be used for inspiration on your own website color schemes - particularly if you're looking for that clean, simple, and perhaps, highly saturated look.
Here's more about web safe colors.

CHARLOTTESVILLE — With each win this season, the list of areas in which the Virginia football team needs to improve grows shorter and more easily indentifiable, an indicator of progress for a Cavaliers squad that spent its Saturday nights last fall not knowing where to begin to address its many flaws.
Virginia started off Saturday's game against Duke a little slow on offense, sure. And the Cavaliers could have defended the pass more effectively and done without a few of their six penalties. But that's about all that kept things close in Virginia's 31-21 win over the Blue Devils.
This Virginia squad is vastly improved over the one that took the field in 2010; that much has been clear for some time. But with its third straight win, the Cavaliers further rounded into a form befitting their status as an ACC contender.
"I think getting seven wins at this point is big," offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said of Virginia, one of two teams still alive for the ACC Coastal Division title. "Last year when you're 4-8, you're struggling to get another one. But then when you're winning some more, they just get bigger."
The Cavaliers (7-3, 4-2 ACC) are running low on measuring sticks to gauge exactly how much better they are than last year's squad. The defense is stauncher against the run in the second year since the switch to a 4-3 formation. Virginia's rushing attack hasn't been this potent since 2004. The team has won at a higher rate than most observers expected. They've even won in November. Twice.
For a program that had not won in November in its past13 tries prior to this season, that had not been bowl eligible since 2007, that had not beaten perennial conference doormat Duke in three straight games, such developments are neither insignificant nor unappreciated.
"This year it's each individual player focusing on his job and the task at hand," said fifth-year senior fullback Max Milien, who finished with a team-high four receptions for 62 yards. "Last year it was a whole lot of things. Couldn't even pinpoint what the problem was. This year we feel like if we can just change a few things, we can be a great offense, a great team, a great defense."
A season ago, one critical mistake often sparked a flurry of others. On Saturday, Virginia showed that it had learned to limit the effect of its errors.
A first-quarter punt bounced off the leg of true freshman returner Dominique Terrell, and Duke (3-7, 1-5) recovered at the Virginia 26-yard line. But the Cavaliers' defense held steady. Defensive tackle Matt Conrath blocked his third field goal of the season to keep the Blue Devils off the scoreboard.
Three plays into the second quarter, Duke quarterback Sean Renfree completed a 64-yard touchdown pass to wideout Donovan Varner. Duke later took a 14-7 lead on Juwan Thompson's one-yard touchdown run after its drive was sustained on a questionable pass interference call on senior safety Corey Mosley on fourth and goal from the 5-yard line.
But a 38-yard touchdown pass from Michael Rocco to Kris Burd tied the score just before halftime.
Less than two minutes into the second half, senior cornerback Chase Minnifield returned his 13th career interception for a touchdown to push Virginia into lead, 21-14.
Duke gained 303 yards through the air, and Virginia's pass coverage will need to be addressed heading into next Saturday's game at Florida State. But Duke averaged 1.2 yards per carry on 29 rushing attempts and converted on one-third of its third downs. Defensive coordinator Jim Reid said the Virginia defense has "jelled together" in recent months, and it's showing.
"Hopefully, it's just kind of the maturation process," Virginia Coach Mike London said. "Went back and forth there a little bit, but particularly in the second half, seeing the guys come out and execute and guys making plays . . . those are the type of things that you want to try to hang your hat on as an identity of what your team is about."

I am always humbled by the generosity of the St Giles congregation. Their continuing support both in terms of time and funds enables all aspects of church life to grow.
You will appreciate that our treasury team keep a watchful eye on expenditure however new challenges emerge each year. As such I am seeking to up-lift all types of pledges from across the congregation to match those demands.
My challenge is to secure new regular donations as people join our church community and additionally asking existing members to consider a small uplift to their current contribution. Whilst donations via the church plate are very welcome, regular donations via bank standing order enable the treasury team to understand our projected income for the year and budget more securely for the things the church needs.
No less important is volunteering your time, it is both vital to the day to day operation of the church, wonderfully rewarding and deeply appreciated.
I believe that generosity comes from the heart and when people see the real value and a critical role the church plays in our daily community.
What We Give MattersDid you know?
* £30 provides a bereavement support group session
* £25 per month will pay to heat the church during our Sunday services
* £15 per month will cover the cost of cutting the memorial garden lawns
* £10 month will help our Sunday school teach our children the Christian faith
Over all it costs £160,000 per year to run our church. So let us all pull together and give what we can, because if we are honest we all love and value St Giles!
VolunteeringDid you know?
* Just 2 hours a week per person can help to keep the church yard looking great and will keep you fit as well
* One person spending 3 hours a month arranging flowers will bring pleasure to many and you will enjoy it too
*One person spends 3 hours a month counting the collection and banking it. Job done.
* One person giving 2 hours per month to helping with admin helps stop muddle
Helping out can be very fulfilling and fun as well as we get to make new friends over a shared task.

Nowadays, having a trustworthy background became mandatory. By that background, we mean proper protection of your rights. The market is overcrowded with fake professional, and they will promise you the best possible service. Instead, they will endanger your rights or business. Naturally, you will wonder how to choose the best one and not make a mistake?
Avoid reading fake online testimonials
No matter how real testimonials can look like some tricks can help you to make a difference between real and fake one. Nowadays no person doesn't exist on the internet. Don't be lazy, make some effort and do a little research. It will help you to make a selection and eventually choose the best company for your needs. Keep in mind that law is a wide term and that not every company is good in every area of law. Some of them are perfect for family matter; others are specialized for agricultural etc. Therefore it is very important to know other people's opinion and experience.
Does the higher price mean better service?
The best answer to this question doesn't exist. You need to be aware that everything depends on. You can be caught in a trap. Some law offices pay a fortune for commercials, and that is the only reason why they are expensive.
So basically, you will pay their perfect commercial and not their impeccable service. Pay attention to their references and not the commercial video with professional actors. Therefore our final answer on the posted question is no; the high price is not necessarily a guarantee that the service that you pay will be good. To obtain the best quality of the service make sure that you are hiring an adequate team for a specific task. You can even hire different teams for different tasks, and you will cover all the fields.

Answers to Python real time image classification problems with Neural Networks ( 2 )
Given the fact that the data transfer from CPU to GPU within subprocess contributes much to the overhead and it seems that there is no way to avoid it(e.g. CNN with smaller input size won't help?) and also you want to keep the main process operating at full capacity allowing lag between image prediction and the webcam stream, another solution I can think of is to set the main process with a higher priority and the subprocess with a lower one using
psutilsuch as(on windows):
import cv2 import caffe import multiprocessing import Queue import psutil tasks = multiprocessing.Queue() results = multiprocessing.Queue() consumer = Consumer(tasks,results) consumer.start() #set processes' priority current_process = psutil.Process() current_process.nice(value=psutil.ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS) sub_process_list = current_process.children() sub_process_list[0].nice(value=psutil.NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS) #remained stuff ...
, in which the value of argument
valuecan be found here and on UNIX, the value usually goes from -20 to 20. The higher the value, the lower the priority of the process. See here for details.
This is not such a technical solution though.
Since your CPU cores and GPU are not getting maxed out, and no blocking exists between your 2 process , inspired by this post, I suspect that the bottleneck that slows down the main process is I/O bound, which specifically here comes from:
- The much frequent reading frames from camera at
rval, frame = vc.read()in the main process;
- The frequent data transfer from CPU to GPU within
text = net.predict(image)in the subprocess.(This mainly happens when feeding input data into CNN.)
You can verify this bottleneck by disabling the dense I/O operations at the 2nd place above, which doesn't mean to simply comment out
text = net.predict(image)but rather to temporarily use
net.forward(blobs=None, start=1, end=LAYERS_NUM - 2)instead of
net.predict()to skip feeding image data into CNN to avoid the data transfer from CPU to GPU while keeping almost the same working load of GPU to see whether the main process will be close to 30fps again.
If it is, then you can consider to use a CNN model with smaller input size to reduce the data transfer from CPU to GPU.
Finally, hope it will work.
- The much frequent reading frames from camera at
One think might happen in your code, that is it works in gpu mode for the first call and on later calls it calculates the classification under cpu mode as it the default mode. On older version of caffe set gpu mode for once was enough, now newer version it needs to set mode everytime. You can try with following change:
def run(self): #Load caffe net -- code omitted while True: caffe.set_mode_gpu() caffe.set_device(0) image = self.task_queue.get() #crop image -- code omitted text = net.predict(image) self.result_queue.put(text) return
Also please have a look at the gpu timings while the consumer thread is running. You can use following command for nvidia:
Above command will show you the gpu utilization at runtime.
If it not solves another solution is, make the opencv frame extraction code under a thread. As it is related with I/O and device access you might get benefit running it on separate thread from GUI thread/main thread. That thread will push frames in an queue and current consumer thread will predict. In that case carefully handle the queue with critical block.

All these Art Emperors live based on the death Artist's Legacies with no doubt. While the Artist is alive, even they don't accept his/her call in any time. Please don't give me wrong. you can test them yourselves. Mail them for a review or exhibition of your artworks, you will find your applications in a trashcan quite soon. They live in nice mansions or a House of Art with proudly call Art Galleries/Museums and the artists are suffering of poverty and struggling to pay the bills to live. Well. That kind of artist will be very lucky if he/she sells some paintings to those Emperors/Art Collectors, and they call him/her back in 5 to ten years if he/she is still alive or death. The good news will be if he/she is death to make some money but tons of money. They take your paintings and make their own stories about them and make them as an iconic painting and that is the time that their lottery matches for a jackpot. Basically, we all work for them for free. When they call their selves the Emperors, another meaning of that is the Slavery Masters. We create works of art until we are alive with no respect or appreciation and the end, they take advantage of them mercilessly. I am not venge it to discuss deeply but reality is the word of Lord. In the whole history of art, Mark Rothko was realized the exact meaning of Art Emperors which I am talking about.

I don't know, when the stupid arts expire?
It is just killing me seeing it. I know the Museum and art galleries are making them happen intentionally. But they always live based on the good arts. I mean realism or the conceptual arts. Well. You will get the chance to exhibit your pieces if you follow their footsteps. Otherwise, don't waste your valuable time and money submitting applications. I summited more than 100s but got responded 0. Because mine was not stupid enough yet.

ORINDA, Calif. — Even if your children are not trick-or-treating on "Elm Street," Halloween can be a safety "nightmare" for moms and dads, says Gillin Jacobson Ellis & Larsen (GJEL Accident Attorneys), a catastrophic injury and wrongful death law firm in the San Francisco Bay area.
Children are more than twice as likely to be killed by a vehicle while walking on Halloween than any other night of the year, according to Safe Kids USA. In an analysis of deaths from 2002 to 2006, the group found that an average of 2.2 children are killed in pedestrian accidents from 4 to 10 p.m. on Halloween, compared with one child every other evening at the same time. More than 540 kids under age 14 are killed in pedestrian accidents each year.
"Communities typically do a great job of trying to keep kids safe on Halloween by encouraging daylight trick-or-treating and implementing curfews," said Andy Gillin, managing partner of GJEL Accident Attorneys. "It's up to parents and guardians to do the rest by following logical safety precautions."

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys! I'm BallerBohne (ingame: JustALobster) and I want to show you, how i play Poppy! This build helped me a lot to get better and better with this champ. I will tell u everything what i know about Poppy and I hope it helps you!
P.S.: This is my first guide, so please give me tips and critics (positive and negative) and vote if u like or not! :) Thank you!
Why Poppy?!?
Many people asked me in the champion selection: "Why the hell did u picked Poppy?!?" I want to explain it:
Most people believe, that Poppy is an useless champ. This is nonsense! If played correctly, Poppy can decide an entire game. This is due to her extremly strong Ultimate: Diplomatic Immunity! This Ult allows her to focus one enemie and concentrate on him. Also the Ult can be used to kill the whole team, if casted at the right time, on the right opponent.
Another Pro is, that Poppy is a really tanky character. If just follow this build, which is made for Solo-Top Poppy vs. any kind of AD-Bruiser, you won't have problems with enemie harassment. Due to her high movementspeed she can avoid the most amount of damage. Probably the biggest problem of Poppy is: she is depend on getting as many last hits as possible! She really needs the gold to get her main item: Trinity Force. After she got this item, she starts to deal "tons of damage" ( :D ).
In summary u can say, that Poppy ins't at all a needless champion. I would say she is one of the strongest champions in League of Legends (if played correctly ;) ).
Summoner Spells
Why did I use Ghost and Ignite?
: Ghost is in my view one of the most usefull summoner spells in League of Legends (just as Ignite), because it has got various benefits. You can chase somone, you can escape from bad situations, you can get fast into a fight, etc. There is a big advantadge to Flash. With Flash you can quickly get out of a situation, but it's like a jump. You can only do it 1 time! With Ghost u are much more flexible. Also Ghost allows you to play more aggressively, because you can get quickly in or out of situations!
: It is also possible to use Exhaust on Poppy, but I think Ignite increases the maximuum damage. It's just a good supply!
Other viable spells on Poppy:
- (depends on your game style)
- (not recommended but possible)
Why do I use more defensive masteries?
The reason why I use defensive masteries ist just simple: sustain, sustain, sustain, dmg, dmg, dmg, sustain, sustain, sustain, ...
It is just simple. Poppy is from beggining really squishy (if u don't use my runes and masteries) and thats why she needs defensive/a bit offensive masteries.
My runes require an AD based enemy. They are just for the tankyness of Poppy. You can also take 2 Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed and 1 Greater Quintessence of Armor instead of 3 Greater Quintessence of Health, to dodge and sustain some more damage. The Greater Mark of Attack Damage assisting her damageoutput (especially from Devastating Blow) really well and ease her last-hitting.
There are many different ways to build Poppy. I prefer AD-Bruiser, cause it's the most effective one! She is dealing "tons of damage" but also really tanky!
Starting Items:
normally: +
other ways:
also possible, if there is heavy AD harassment expected:
first trip back with 700+ gold:
Philosopher's Stone + and some Sight Ward
next items:
--> --> or
now you have got your most important item!!
there are different ways to go now.
if the enemy team is going to focus you hard:
--> --> -->
you can also build a bit more tanky with a Maw of Malmortius or a Sunfire Cape
if the enemie team is going to ignore you go that order:
(increases ur damageoutput, especially from Devastating Blow) --> --> --> -->
this is just the way, I play Poppy in most cases! the build can be varied, if there is another team composition.
Early Game
The most important thing for Poppy is farming! Farming, farming, farming!!!! In the early game she isn't dealing that much damage. She has to get her main item: Trinity Force! After she got it, she is going to bloom! Until she got her Sheen she can start to harass his enemy hard, with her Devastating Blow. Trust in yourselfe and try to kill the enemy, if he is less then half-life. There is a tower?!? No problem! Turn on Diplomatic Immunity and go on! In most cases it's a save kill. Every time your Ghost, your Ignite and your Diplomatic Immunity is up, you can go for the kill, if the enemie is less then 2/3 life.
Mid Game
In the mid game Poppy should have got her Sheen, Ninja Tabi or Mercury's Treads and Phage. If u last hit good and maybe got some kills you maybe also have finished your Trinity Force yet. Now you don't have to worry if you think about getting in a teamfight. Get your ult on the enemy AP-caster or AD-carry and kill him! But also in mid game it's really important for Poppy to get as much last hits as possible! Keep on farming, to get your end build!!!!
Late Game
There is not much to say to late game. If you just followed this item build and if you farmed a lot, it should be easy going for you, to get 1-2 kills in a teamfight without dying. You just have to use Diplomatic Immunity at the right time and on the right champion!
You can also add some new items to this build, in most cases you have to build her SITUATIONAL! So if they are all dealing AP-Damage, it's not usefull to get a Randuin's Omen, if you know what I mean ;). So if you see the opponents focusing you, and they are dealing much more AD-Damage then AP-Damage try to get a tanky Item, which still supports your DMG-Output!
Poppy vs. Malphite (Difficulty: middle):
Laning against Malphite can be easy or difficult. It depends on ur opponent's skillness. :) You just have to check it. If he is a good Malphite player you have to pay attention and keep farming in the background. Hope for ganks from your jungler and play defensive. If he isn't that good you can play more aggressive and harass him often with your Devastating Blow but still concentrate on last hitting. When he reaches lvl 6 you have to pay attention for ganks. If Malphite uses his ult Unstoppable Force it's most times a save kill, because you are unable to act for like 1-2 seconds.
Poppy vs. Riven (Difficulty: really heavy):
Riven is probably the heaviest opponent for Poppy. She is a really strong top-laner. The only way to win the lane against Riven is to play much defensive and concentrate on last hitting! Many last hits are the most important thing then, because you can get your build, although you don't get some kills and probably plug some death. Ask your jungler to spamgank top, then you should dominate the lane nevertheless. Don't get stunned, because then Riven can burst you down easily, although the stun is not that long!! Never underestemate the opponent!
Poppy vs. Xin Zhao (Difficulty: middle):
To play against Xin Zhao can be relaxed or stressful. Like against every champion concentrate on last hits. You can also harass him and try to kill him. Xin Zhao is not a very tanky character from beggining. If played correctly he will turn tanky, but thats why you need to use the early-game!!! You can easily burst him from full-life to zero if your Diplomatic Immunity is placed right, supported from your Ignite, Devastating Blow, probably a stun with Heroic Charge and many autoattacks!! Care for Xin Zhaos Three Talon Strike, because it hurts really hard! Apart from that there is nothing more to say. Just be careful, because Xin Zhao can also burst you! In this case probably the Phage is better as first core item and not the Sheen. It depends on the situation.
Poppy vs. Darius (Difficulty: hard)
WEll, we all know Darius is for many people the most overpowered champion in League of Legends. I think he may is op, but not undefeatable! If you play correctly it should be easy to win against him. With Poppy it's a bit difficult, cause Poppys Early-Game is weak. In this case you better start up with Boots of Speed and 3 Health Potion, to avoid his Deciamte and Apprehend. If you get grabbed, directly pop Paragon of Demacia and try to get away.
You can also start up with a Cloth Armor and 5 Health Potion, but then you are not that mobile to get away if he grabs you, or if the enemy jungler ganks. By the way ganks: Tell your jungler that he HAS to gank top as often as possible, because once the Darius reaches level 6 it's in most cases a 1 for 1 trade if the jungler comes. Due to this it is very important, that you use your Ultimate ( Diplomatic Immunity) at the right time! "Playing defensive" are the keywords if you lane against Darius! Also it's better if you get the Phage first, instead of rushing Sheen. Cause Phage gives you a bit of early tankyness, which you defenitly need against a champion like Darius!
This is my first guide, so please give me critics! Positives and negatives, so I can fix them. Also vote for it please, if it helped you! Thank you very much!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english ;) I am german :P
(Sorry for that late update, I had to concentrate on school the last half year, so I wasn't able to perfect my guide.)
Coming Soon:
Updates for:
- match ups on top lane (will get filled, until I listed every champ)
- Poppy as a jungler
- the Suppoppy
- ...
- 10.5.2012 Laning match ups added: Malphite, Riven, Xin Zhao

Likeeveryone, I was disappointed all individuals a long time the Twins obtained swept in just the very first spherical. Yet some of that was simply dumb-ass poor luck. Consider a healthier Liriano inside of 2006. A healthful Morneau and Nathan within just 2010. Phil bleepin' Cuzzi. Not in the direction of say the Twins obtained hosed all those several years, given that lousy luck is aspect of the sport. Merely that they've place collectively some damn Fantastic groups.Added importantly, for my functions, playoff year is a thirty day period extended. The monthly year is 6 weeks. Up right up until just lately, the Twins contain intended individuals 6 weeks entertaining. Make it possible for's say they received it all inside of 2010. Would 2011, 12, 13, 14, 16 be realistic simply because of that current name? Not in direction of me.If I need to have toward view baseball, and I do, I can perspective the Saints https://www.twinsbaseballshop.com/17-Kennys_Vargas_Jersey, and I do. What will become me toward pony up much larger pounds for a Twins match? This cleaning soap opera of seeing all those ultimate opposition at their occupation try towards be simplest upon the environment. It's which includes "A Refrain Line" for true.That's what separates MLB versus minimal-league or unaffiliated groups https://www.twinsbaseballshop.com/14-Joe_Mauer_Jersey, or metropolis ball or higher education video games. They're all entertaining. Nonetheless within just each and every of us there's a small formidable bastard screaming in the direction of acquire out. Toward shout "best of the environment, Ma!" MLB delivers that tiny bastard one particular direction in direction of are living vicariously all through a developed contest which is at some point secure. I imply, racing in the direction of create a polio vaccine items. Racing in direction of the Entire world Collection doesn't. This is necessary. It's why cultures in all places through historical past inform studies of ambition and greed and murder and unbridled lust and rooting for the Yankees.Considering that it's much better toward vent this sort of thoughts vicariously than towards act upon them. We've all experienced coworkers we desired toward accurately transfer absent. Observing James Bond blow up the undesirable person's mystery volcano lair meets our inside bastard.Residing within a culture indicates we'll contain us residents who determination us ridiculous, folks we're captivated in direction of who aren't captivated in direction of us, all models of interpersonal frustrations https://www.twinsbaseballshop.com/7-Byron_Buxton_Jersey. Culture collapses if we act impetuously upon these frustrations. Comedy and drama (I'd argue sports activities are both of those) supply enjoy towards our internal bastards and retain them immediately in which they belong; the devil upon a single shoulder claiming "it would be therefore wicked wonderful toward do this https://www.twinsbaseballshop.com/19-Kevin_Jepsen_Jersey." As a result the angel upon our other shoulder, aka legitimate lifetime, can say "sure, however it would be mistaken."Upon this ranking, the 2000s Twins ended up constructive toward me. I need to have baseball towards be my cleaning soap opera for the greater element of 6 weeks Paul Molitor Jersey. If the workers's out of rivalry by means of July, it's such as there's one thing misplaced within my everyday living. If they're out within Oct, nicely, basketball commences beautiful before long, and I can capture up upon my Netflix queue. Or, I dunno, read through a e book or a thing.And towards those people who try non-championships a failure? Incorporate at it, my mates. That's baseball; we each individual love it for substitute motives. By yourself're a minor little bit place, I'm a minor little bit rock-and-roll, it's all Great.

UPDATE — Altus Police Chief Tim Murphy updated the story of a man found dead in Tillman County Aug. 22. Murphy said a vehicle belonging to the victim, 32-year-old Jared Allen Holmes was located in Lawton Aug. 28.
Altus police were notified by the Lawton police department that the vehicle belonging to Holmes had been recovered from a residence in Lawton, Murphy said. Police believe the suspect , 24-year-old Marielle Trey Smith and an accomplice took the vehicle, 2002 Black Chev Tahoe, to a residence in West Lawton and parked in the garage.
The homeowner became suspicious and realized police had been searching for the Tahoe. She then contacted Lawton police. Police will continue to investigate what knowledge, if any, the homeowner has about the homicide or stolen vehicle.
On Aug. 29 the vehicle was transported back to Altus to be processed by investigators. An arrest warrant has also been issued through the Jackson County District Court on the suspect's accomplice, 22-year-old Ryan McKenzie Fields. She is described as a white female approx. 5 ft. 4 in. tall, brown eyes, brown hair and weighing about 110 pounds.
Investigators believe Fields assisted in the murder of Jared Allen Holmes and helped Marielle Trey Smith clean the crime scene and dispose of the victim's body. Investigators believe Fields and Smith took the victim's vehicle to Lawton shortly before the crime was reported to Altus police on the morning of Monday Aug. 21.
Fields is believed to be in the company of Smith and their whereabouts are unknown. On Aug. 29 an arrest warrant was issued for Fields through the Jackson County District Court on a Charge of Accessory After The Fact. Smith and Fields may be driving a 2005 white Pontiac four door Grand Prix with an Oklahoma used dealer paper tag UD-6050.
The body of a man was found in Tillman County, according to Tillman County Sheriff Bobby Whittington.
"The body was found on County Road 180, approximately a mile and a half west of Highway 183," Whittington said. "We called for assistance from Altus PD in case it was connected to their homicide case."
Whittington said the body was found by farm hands.
"A couple farm hands were moving equipment and just happened to see where it was at," Whittington said.
A spokesperson for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said OSBI was on scene to assist with the crime scene but the investigation belongs to the Altus Police Department.
Police Chief Tim Murphy of the Altus Police Department said the victim has been identified as their shooting victim.
"He has been identified as our shooting victim here in Altus, the homicide investigation that we're conducting, as Jared Holmes," Murphy said.
According to a press release sent out from the Altus Police Department, the victim's body was transported to the office of the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner in Oklahoma City where he was positively identified as 32-year-old Jared Allen Holmes.
Investigators believe 24-year-old Marielle Trey Smith is responsible for the shooting death. Investigators searched a home in the 400 block of North Julian on Aug. 21 and discovered evidence that a shooting took place at this location.
Police believe the shooting took place sometime Sunday night after area residents heard what sounded like gunfire coming from the home at around 9 p.m. The motive behind the shooting is unclear at this point but investigators believe the suspect shot and killed the victim. Investigators and family members of the victim have not had contact with the victim since the evening of Aug. 20.
Smith is described as a black male, 5 ft. 6 in. tall, weighing approx. 200 lbs. Smith has numerous tattoo's on both arms, chest and back along with a tattoo the left side of his neck.
Altus police were notified Tuesday afternoon that a car belonging to Smith was located in Lawton. That vehicle, a 2007 White Dodge Charger, was transported back to Altus to be processed by investigators.
Police are still looking for a 2002 Black Chevy Tahoe, which belongs to the victim. Police are still searching for the murder suspect. Smith is wanted on a Jackson County arrest warrant for second Degree Murder.
Murphy said Smith should be considered armed and dangerous.
If anyone has any information call the Altus Police Department at 580-481-2296, the Tillman County Sheriff's Department at 580-335-3013 or the Frederick Police Department at 580-335-7503.
This story will be updated as more details are released during the investigation.

Benedict XVI has returned to the Vatican for the first time since he resigned Feb. 28, and he met with successor Pope Francis.
The Vatican said Francis greeted Benedict on Thursday at his new retirement home, a converted monastery on the edge of the Vatican gardens, and the two then prayed together in the adjoining chapel.
Benedict's return to the Vatican signals an unprecedented era with a retired pontiff living alongside a reigning one.
It is the second meeting between the two since Francis was elected Pope on March 13.
Benedict flew by helicopter from the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo, where he has lived since Feb. 28, when he became the first Pope in 600 years to step down.
All eyes were on Benedict's physical state as he was welcomed by Francis. The last time he was seen by the public — March 23 — Benedict appeared remarkably more frail and thin than when he left the Vatican on his final day as pontiff three weeks earlier.
Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi has acknowledged Benedict's post-retirement decline, but insists the 86-year-old German isn't suffering from any ailment and is just old.
"He is a man who is not young: He is old and his strength is slowly ebbing," Lombardi said this week. "However, there is no special illness. He is an old man who is healthy."
Renos done on monastery
Since his Feb. 28 resignation, Benedict had been "hidden to the world" as he himself predicted, living at the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo, in the hills south of Rome. He chose to leave the Vatican immediately after his resignation to physically remove himself from the process of electing his successor and from Pope Francis's first weeks as pontiff.
His absence also gave workers time to finish up renovations on the monastery on the edge of the Vatican gardens that until last year housed groups of cloistered nuns who were invited for a few years at a time to live inside the Vatican to pray for the pontiff and church at large.
In the small building, with a chapel attached, Benedict is living with his personal secretary, Msgr. Georg Gaenswein, and the four consecrated women who look after him, preparing his meals and tending to the household. Inside the small building, Benedict has at his disposal a small library and a study. A guest room is available for when his brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger, comes to visit.
"It is certainly small but well-equipped," Lombardi said.
When Benedict announced his intention to resign, questions immediately swirled about the implications of having a former pope and a current Pope living alongside one another inside the Vatican.
Benedict fuelled those concerns when he chose to be called pope emeritus and your holiness rather than emeritus bishop of Rome. He also raised eyebrows when he chose to continue wearing the white cassock of the papacy.
Given the political intrigues that plague the Vatican, it wasn't much of a stretch of the imagination to wonder if some cardinals, bishops and monsignors — not to mention ordinary Catholics — might continue making Benedict their point of reference rather than the new Pope.
Benedict pledged 'unconditional obedience'
However, Benedict made clear on his final day as Pope that he was renouncing the job and pledged his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his then-unknown successor. It was a pledge he repeated in person on March 23 when Francis went to have lunch with him at Castel Gandolfo.
It was during that visit that the world saw how frail Benedict had become in the three weeks since his emotional departure from the Apostolic Palace: Always a man with a purposeful walk, he shuffled tentatively that day, using his cane.
Francis, for his part, seems utterly unfazed by the novel situation unfolding. He has frequently invoked Benedict's name and work and has called him on a half-dozen occasions, making clear he has no intention of ignoring the fact that there's another pope still very much alive and now living on the other side of the garden from the Vatican hotel where he lives.
Francis's gestures to Benedict during that March 23 visit were also remarkable: He refused to pray on the special papal kneeler in the small chapel of Castel Gandolfo, preferring to join Benedict on a kneeler in the pews, and referring to his predecessor as his "brother."
Now that they're neighbours, they might bump into one another on walks in the Vatican gardens or at the shrine to the Madonna on the top of the hill, just a stone's throw from Benedict's new home.

Review by whitewavedarling
I read this in one sitting, but I'm afraid it was more out of a desire to see it done than any desire to see what would happen. It's not badly written, but it doesn't accomplish much either. My first instinct is to say that there needed to be more to the story, and a less predictable plot, in order for the play to really be worthwhile as Either a read or a production, because no, this isn't one of those plays that simply needs to be seen to be appreciated.First, the marketing book-wise is rather off-putting. From the back of the book, you find out that "Fifteen years ago Una and Ray had a relationship. They haven't seen each other since. Now she's found him again." That's it. Within pages of the beginning of the play, though, you discover the twist to those few sentences: she was twelve, and he in his forties. I have no problem with a twist like that happening in a book, BUT, if that "twist" is the entire basis for the plot and is announced within ten pages or so as the driving subject, shouldn't it be on the back of the book in the synopsis?Beyond marketing, there's just not much to the book. The characters are stereotyped by their previous actions (think of what you'd expect from a character in this situation on Law and Order) to the extent that they as well as the plot are predictable and fairly uninteresting. The play itself is well-written, if choppy at times, but what bothers me about the writing is that while it comes off as somewhat inventive, what's happening is that Harrower is prescribing to actors every speech mannerism that could/would show emotion. The word repetitions, the stumbling, etc. are all mannerisms that a good cast would come up with and exhibit on their own to make their characters come to life. I've had a lot of experience in the theater, and I have to say that I think this over-prescriptive writing would hinder a good actor instead of help them.In the end, quite obviously, I wouldn't recommend it. If you want a quick play to read, this is that, but it's not either memorable or something really worth coming back to I'm afraid. I think that the couple of awards it's gained can probably be chalked up to the daring nature of the material moreso than anything stand-out about the playin particular.

"I don't understand what he hopes to accomplish only lobbying us within 24 hours of the vote," Rep. Mark Cusack (D-Braintree) told the State House News Service.
