A Note from Matt Tommey:
Over the years, I've encountered many artisans, musicians, craftsmen and other creative ones who have, for one reason or another, become stuck. The 'stuckness' originates from many different places – woundedness, fear, control, unbelief, religious barriers – and creates a frustration in their life that becomes unbearable. Many artists, unable to understand what's really going on either run headlong into "creativity for creativity's sake" or turn to unhealthy alternatives in order to numb or overcome the pain they are feeling. Many more simply give up, hide the gift by stuffing it down under 'Christian work ethic' and just try to go on with life as usual.
Whatever your flavor of 'stuckness', the Father wants you to be fully released to worship Him through your creative expression. His desire is that nothing holds you back from creative destiny for your life – not even yourself. This weekend is about embracing the divine calling for your life as an artist in the Kingdom, getting in touch with your unique prophetic voice and releasing it in a way that not only effects culture, but the heavens. It's also about you being fulfilled and happy! The Father's desire for your life is not that you just be productive or even that you work for Him – it's that you live a life fully engaged in His presence; a joyful, passionate and creative life where you're enjoying Him as much as He enjoys you!

Learn about the history of the beautiful Champs Elysees in Paris with iMinds Travel's insightful audio knowledge series.
The Champs Elysées is the main boulevard of Paris in France. Over the years, it has been a popular rallying point in times of national crisis and celebration. In 1998, for example, the people of Paris assembled here to party all night in celebration of France's soccer win in the World Cup. And every year in July people flock to the Champs Elysées to witness the end of the famous Tour de France bicycle race. After a triumphal march in 1871, Parisians lit bonfires under the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées to get rid of what was referred to as the "stain" of German boots. Today, the Bastille Day procession, which marks the storming of the Bastille, a key event in the French Revolution, begins at the Arc de Triomphe. This procession involves tanks, guns and flags.
Perfect to listen to while commuting, exercising, shopping or cleaning the house.. iMinds brings knowledge to your MP3 with 8 minute information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.

A listener could practically close her eyes and see herself in Paris through the magic of this evocative installment of iMinds. Australian actress Margo Knight brings her seasoned and cultivated voice to her descriptions of the tree-lined streets, palaces, gardens, and designer boutiques of the Champs Elysées. Calling the storied boulevard a "central point of connection to the rest of Paris and its history", Knight goes on to prove her point by showcasing the many dramas, tragedies, and triumphs that unfolded on the Champs and surrounding streets. From a historic perfume shop to the Place de la Concorde where Marie Antoinette was beheaded, this episode is both a broad and intimate overview of a Parisian landmark.
"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Jumping at the sight of a cockroach is normal, but some people won't even step into the room if they see one. Such people are said to suffer from a phobia of cockroaches. A phobia can be defined as the irrational fear of an object or situation, though it may not pose any real danger. A phobia often develops during childhood and gets aggravated as the person gets older.
Hypnotherapy has proven to be an effective form of treatment for phobias and fear. Hypnosis identifies the root cause or event that is the underlying cause of the phobia. A Hypnotherapist then attempts to change the person's reaction to the phobia trigger.
Some common phobias Hypnotherapists deal with are:
- Fear of heights
- Claustrophobia
- Fear of insects and small animals
- Fear of flying
- Fear of technology
To do this a Hypnotherapist must ensure that the mind of the person is in a calm and relax state. This is because the root cause of a phobia is often a repressed memory. Thus, it can be accessed only when a person is in a state of heightened relaxation or trance. In this state, the mind is very receptive to suggestions. Once the memory has been addressed, it can be brought back to the conscious awareness. Addressing this conscious memory allows the therapist to make the patient feel less threatened by this trigger. The patient can then begin to form new thoughts and responses to the object or situation. This process is also known as Hypnotic regression.
A person normally needs 3-4 sessions of Hypnotherapy to be rid of a phobia. However, the number of sessions required varies from person to person and it may take additional sessions to cure a chronic phobia.
No. of sessions required depends on a number of factors such as:
- How long the person has had the said phobia
- His personality
- How severely his life is affected by the phobia
- How determined he is to free himself of the phobia
When you decide to work with a Hypnotherapist to get rid of your phobias, it is essential that you make the right choice in terms of the Hypnotherapist. You should ensure that you are being treated by a licensed professional Hypnotherapist. Also, make sure that you can trust the person and are comfortable in his or her presence. Take your time finding someone who you can open yourself up to and get started on conquering your fears.

Procrastination is a way of sabotaging oneself by putting off activities and delaying success. This is an emotional and mental obstacle that many people face in varying degrees. So here is everything you need to know about procrastination.
- It becomes a lifestyle: As per medical research, about 20% of the people who procrastinate, have been doing it on a chronic basis and can now safely say that this is a lifestyle and not just a habit that one has fallen prey to.
- It is cultivated: Contrary to popular belief, procrastination is not something that anyone is born with. It is cultivated with constant inaction over a period of years, which also includes the act of making excuses to put off a task.
- Excessive alcohol consumption: In many cases, procrastinators will end up enjoying higher consumption of alcohol than their contemporaries. This may be done to alleviate boredom before the excessive consumption becomes a habit, which further dulls the senses.
- Hiding from the truth: It has been seen that procrastinators often lie to themselves or hide the truth about their problem by making mindless excuses, which do not actually exist. They are chronic liars who come to believe their lies, which can give rise to even more severe behavioural issues.
- Distractions: Most people who procrastinate will look for distractions that will keep them from doing their work properly. This may include watching television or eating, or even doing mindless chores that are not important.
- Focus: Many of these procrastinators have problems when it comes to focusing and finding solutions for various tasks. They cannot prioritise and put their mind to a certain task, which also prevents them from understanding the requirements for completing that task.
- Avoiders: These types of procrastinators usually avoid doing the tasks that will lead them to success. They do not make the effort to carry out the necessary tasks in a proper manner.
- Decisional procrastinators: These kind of procrastinators simply cannot find the motivation to take a decision that will change the direction of their lives by putting one step in front of the other on a daily basis.
- Cost of procrastination: There is a huge cost that is borne by these kinds of people in the long run. While missing deadlines, losing jobs and not graduating from college are just some of the consequences, many of them also come down with a plethora of health conditions including gastrointestinal diseases.
- Therapy for procrastination: The best way to transform a procrastinator is with the help of cognitive behavioural therapy, which can help in reprogramming the brain with fruitful, guided discussions and internal dialogues. This kind of therapy works well in the long run.
People who have been victims of domestic violence not only suffer physical abuse, but from emotional abuse as well, which may stay with them for their whole life. The trauma associated with domestic violence can be deep and takes time to heal even after the relationship with the perpetrator is over and there is no communication or contact between them.
Emotional harm is greater than physical harm
Women make up the significant majority of domestic violence victims. When they face violence within the home sphere, they experience a wide range of emotions like anger, sadness, powerlessness, fear, resentment, vindictiveness and much more. Physical violence not only harms their body, but their mind and spirit are equally wrecked as the memory of being physically subjugated scars them emotionally in a very deep manner and can take years to heal.
Some of the long term impact of domestic violence on women is mentioned below.
Physical Effects
- Any kind of physical injuries like bruises, cuts or dislocated joints and bones.
- Many women suffer from hearing impairment
- Loss of vision is also another effect
- Miscarriage or premature childbirth
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- A feeling of fatigue and weakness
In certain cases, unreported domestic violence may result in homicide or murder which is the ultimate and most unfortunate manifestation of physical abuse gone too far, That is why it is important to seek help early on before things escalate too far.
Mental Effects
The mental effects of domestic violence take much longer time to recuperate from than the physical effects. If the shock is severe, it can render women mentally unstable for life in extreme cases. Even if a woman recovers from it, the emotional scar may remain and might manifest in the future.
- Depression: This is one of the worst mental effects of domestic violence is depression. The good news is depression is often temporary and can be cured. Signs of depression include a feeling of hopelessness, sadness, weight gain or loss, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and a consequent lack of interest in whatever you love to do. This can affect one's decision making ability and in extreme cases can render one suicidal.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: When you encounter any violent experience, then you are most likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The signs of this disorder include frequent flashbacks of the traumatic experience, nightmares and extreme anxiety. Women who face these kinds of traumatic experiences find it difficult to cope with their present situation for a while. Counselling and support from their loved ones can heal these problems fast.
Other effects of domestic violence may also include seizures, addiction and substance abuse and fainting.

It's not just painful but also very irritating to have that odd neck, back, knee or any other muscular pain. Just sitting and waiting for the pain to go is something that we just cannot do. We want instant relief! Some of us wonder how we even got this pain. Asking around we find answers such as an incorrect posture of the body, too much of physical stress on a particular muscle or staying still in one position for a long time. Right, long working hours sitting in front of a computer.
- Ayurveda dives a bit deeper to find out the cause of muscular pain. According to Ayurveda, the muscle pain is caused by collection of harmful toxins in a particular area of the body which blocks the smooth transportation of essential nutrients, which leads to the aggravation of the "Vata" element in the body and causing muscular pain. There is no exception to any age group from this pain.
- Once again, body, diet and health, are all inter- linked. Ayurveda says a prominent way to avoid muscular pain is our diet. Cheese, cakes, meat, processed food, caffeine are strictly to be avoided by Ayurveda. This is because these kinds of foods dry up the muscles making them stiff and causing pain.
- If a person experiences muscular pain, Ayurveda has natural and chemical free methods to manage the pain. The main method is the practice of Abhyanga. It includes the application of oil all over the body, and massaging the areas where pain is experienced gently. This improves blood circulation with the nutrients needed all over the body. The heating properties of the oil stimulate the same.
- At Dr. Vaidya's, we have innovative products which help in prevention and management of muscular pain. One of them is the evergreen super popular, Rumox Balm. Rumox balm is a special Ayurvedic formulation that has an anti-inflammatory properties and an analgesic effect. Apart from treating swelling and muscular pain, it also provides relief from all types of arthritic pain.
- Another product tried by thousands of our loyal customers is Sandhivati, which is a strong formulation for treatment of arthritis. Composed of Maharasnadi Quath Ghan powder and Mahayograj Guggul powder, this product is used for effective treatment of muscular, joint and arthritic pain.
- We also have special herbal massage oil called Nirgundi Oil, a formulation of Til Oil, Castor Oil, Sarsav Oil and Nirgundi Extract. It is to be gently applied over the pain affected area.
- We have a range over thirty products that include your daily use products such as Herbodanty, medicine for cold, cough, shampoo etc. Our in-house doctor, Dr. (Mrs.) Surya Bhagwati (BAMS, DHA, DHHCM, and DHBTC) can help you build your Ayurveda knowledge and help diagnose any medical issues you may be suffering from.

Depression is an illness which has a direct impact on the brain. People feel that it's just feeling down but it is more than that. It is a serious illness caused by changes in brain chemistry. There are other factors also that contribute to the onset of depression, including
Changes in hormone levels,
Difficult life circumstances.
Any of the above mentioned factors or combination can precipitate changes in brain chemistry and may lead to depression. Depression is a serious and a very common condition these days which may lead to suicide in extreme cases.
Signs of Depression:
Loss of pleasure in virtually all activities,
Feeling of fatigue or lack of energy,
Difficulty with concentration or memory,
An increase or decrease in appetite, with a corresponding change in weight.
Thoughts of suicide Depression & Suicide.
A major cause of suicide is mental illness, very commonly depression. People feeling suicidal are overwhelmed by painful emotions and see death as the only way out, losing sight of the fact that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary state. Most people who succeed with living feel glad that they resist and are alive today. Suicidal thoughts may be fleeting or more frequent, passive or active. People who are in depress state often start preparing for death, such as giving away possessions or acquiring a gun and these are cause of great concern and should be taken very seriously.
How to judge if suicide is a possibility?
There may be some warning signs, though hard to predict but can be an area of concern:
Being depressed or signs of some mental disorders.
Talking about the loss of interest in living or not to be around.
Increased social isolation.
Mood swings very often.
Buying suicide materials.
Preoccupation with death.
While anyone can become suicidal, there are certain risk factors that make suicide more likely:
Previous suicide attempts.
Recent losses like loss of a relationship or job.
Cultural and religious beliefs supporting suicide.
Access to means of suicide.
How to help a depressed person?
Let the person know if you've noticed a change in their behaviour.
Spend time talking with the person about their experiences and let them know that you're there to listen without being judgmental.
Suggest the person see a doctor or health professional and/or help them to make an appointment.
Offer to go with the person to the doctor or health professional.
Help the person to find information about depression and anxiety from a website or library.
Encourage the person to try to get enough sleep, exercise and eat healthy food.
Discourage the person from using alcohol or other drugs to feel better.
Encourage friends and family members to invite the person out and keep in touch, but don't pressure the person to participate in activities.
Encourage the person to face their fears with support from their doctor/psychologist.
Remember that your loved one's depression isn't anyone's fault. You can't fix the person's depression — but your support and understanding can help.

§ 247-1 Custody and control vested in Shade Tree Commission.
The Commission shall have exclusive custody and control of all shade trees in and upon the rights-of-way of the Borough, of trees on private property whose branches extend over and above any such highways, of trees on private property whose continued existence shall be a menace to the public using such highways and on all other property owned by the Borough, with the authority to plant, transplant, maintain and remove such trees.
Whenever said Commission proposes to plant, transplant or remove shade trees on any rights-of-way, notice of the time and place of the meeting at which such work is to be considered shall be given once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the meeting in a newspaper with general circulation in the Borough, which notice shall specify the type of work to be done and the location thereof.
The cost of planting, transplanting or removing any shade trees in the street or electric rights-of-way of the Borough, of the necessary and suitable guards, curbing or grading for the protection thereof and of the replacing of any pavement or sidewalk necessarily disturbed in the execution of such work shall be paid by the owner of the real estate adjacent to or abutting the right-of-way on which the work is done. Whenever the Commission plants, transplants or removes any shade tree in the public right-of-way, the amount each owner is to pay shall be ascertained and certified by the Commission to the Council for approval.
The cost and expense of caring for trees now planted or hereafter planted by said Commission in the public highways of the Borough and the rights-of-way of the Borough-owned electric system shall be paid by the Borough, the necessary amount being certified by the Commission to the Council each year and appropriated by them in like manner as other moneys for Borough purposes.
In case the owner of such property shall neglect or refuse to plant, remove, transplant or protect such trees upon being notified, in writing, by the Borough so to do and within the time specified by such notice, the Borough may, after the expiration of the date specified in said notice, cause such work to be done at the expense of the owner, and the entire cost thereof, plus 10%, shall be a lien upon said premises and shall be filed and collected by the Borough in the same manner as municipal claims are filed and collected by law.
§ 247-2 Trimming of trees overhanging streets and sidewalks.
All trees shall be kept trimmed so that the minimum height of all limbs and foilage overhanging sidewalks, streets or public rights-of-way shall be 90 inches or 7 1/2 feet above sidewalk pavement level and 10 feet above the paved street or alley cartway level. This requirement extends to all trees standing on private property or beyond the public right-of-way with respect to branches projecting over a sidewalk, street or public right-of-way. The trimming of every such tree shall be the responsibility of the owner of the property on or in front of which such tree is located. In case any property owner shall fail to comply with the provisions of this chapter, after notice given by the Borough Council, within the time limit set forth in such notice, the work of trimming such tree or trees shall be done by the Borough under the direction of the Borough Council, and the cost of such work, with any additional penalty authorized by law, shall be collected by the Borough from the property owner responsible for such work as other debts are, by law, collectible.
§ 247-3 Administrative official designated.
Regulations of the Shade Tree Commission shall be administered by the Borough Manager.
§ 247-4 Regulations of Shade Tree Commission.
The following regulations of the Shade Tree Commission of the Borough of Middletown, as adopted at a meeting of said Commission held November 21, 1961, are hereby approved by the Borough Council of the Borough of Middletown, Pennsylvania:
As used in these regulations, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
- The public right-of-way as ordained by Borough ordinance and shown on the Borough map.
- A permit, in writing, as issued by the Borough Manager of the Borough of Middletown.
- Any individual, partnership, firm, association or corporation.
- Any shade tree, shrub or other woody plant on any public right-of-way in the Borough of Middletown or that part of any shade tree, shrub or other woody plant which extends within the lines of any public right-of-way in said Borough.
Application shall be made, in writing, to the Borough Manager, upon forms furnished by the Borough and approved by the Shade Tree Commission, for a permit to plant or remove shade trees in the rights-of-way in the Borough of Middletown.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Manager to submit every application promptly to the Shade Tree Commission for approval or disapproval. The permit shall be effective for such length of time as the Commission shall in each case determine, which shall be indicated on the permit, and such permit may be revoked at any time at the direction of the Commission upon proof satisfactory to the Commission that the terms and conditions upon which the permit had been issued are being or have been violated.
The permit shall specify the particular kind of work or operation the applicant desires to perform thereunder and shall state the exact location and species of any tree or trees affected.
The Commission may, in its discretion, as a condition precedent to the issuing of the permit, require the applicant to file a bond satisfactory to the Borough Solicitor or to deposit securities satisfactory to it to guarantee the compliance by the applicant with the terms and conditions upon which the permit is issued.
It shall be unlawful for any person to injure in any manner any shade tree; to interfere in any way with the main roots of any shade tree, except upon permission of the Borough Manager; to place on a shade tree any rope, guy wire or cable, except for the temporary protection of the tree; to place any signs, posters or other fixtures on a tree or tree guard; or to injure, misuse or remove any device placed to protect shade trees, except in case of immediate necessity for protection of life or property.
The Commission may refuse a permit to plant any species of tree in a public right-of-way which, in its opinion, is not suited to the location. Also, the Commission may require removal of trees to permit planting of trees that are more suitable to the location. The cost of tree removal and planting new trees shall be at the expense of the owner of the real estate adjacent to or abutting the right-of-way on which the work is done. Whenever the Commission plants, transplants or removes any shade tree in a public right-of-way, the amount each owner is to pay shall be ascertained and certified by the Commission to the Council for approval.
The Commission reserves the right, where conditions make it expedient, to require trimming of branches of any tree overhanging any sidewalk, street or public right-of-way, wheresoever located, including trees standing on private property, to produce a clearance or minimum height specified by the Commission in excess of that mandated in § 247-2. Any branches obscuring a traffic warning or regulatory sign shall be removed, and any person violating this Subsection E shall be subject to the penalties prescribed in § 247-5.
No person shall, without first obtaining a permit, place or hereafter maintain any stone, cement or other substance which shall impede the passage of water and air to the roots of any shade tree, unless such person shall leave an open space of ground surrounding the trunk of the tree, such space to be not less than four feet square.
Guards shall be placed at all shade trees on public rights-of-way which may be affected by any building operation or construction project prior to the commencement of work so as to effectually prevent injury to them.
No person shall pour saltwater, oil or other materials at any place in such a manner that injury may result to any shade tree on a public right-of-way.
No person shall, without first obtaining a permit therefor, attach any electric wire, insulator or any device for the holding of an electric wire to any shade tree.
Every person having any wire or wires charged with electricity running through a public highway shall securely fasten such wire or wires so they shall not come in contact with any tree so as to injure the same.
Whenever, in order to take down or prune any shade tree in the public highway or having branches extending over the public highway, it shall be deemed necessary to remove any wire or wires, every person having any such wire or wires running through a public highway shall temporarily remove the same or cut off the flow of current therefrom within 24 hours after service of written notice from the Borough so to do.
§ 247-5 Violations and penalties.
Any person who shall violate or fail to comply with any of the regulations of the Shade Tree Commission of the Borough of Middletown shall be liable, upon conviction thereof, to a fine or penalty not exceeding $600, plus costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 30 days, for each and every offense. Whenever such person shall have been notified by the Shade Tree Commission or by service or summons in prosecution or in any other way that he is committing such violation, each day on which he shall continue such violation after any such notification shall constitute a separate offense punishable by like fine or penalty. Such fines or penalties shall be collected as prescribed by law.

Just weeks after stepping down from directing #Deadpool2, Tim Miller has signed on to produce the #SonicTheHedgehog movie that Sony has started work on. After coming off of such an EXTREMELY R-rated project, you would think that #SonyPictures would be somewhat hesitant to hire him for this more kid friendly project.
Actually, the amazing way that Tim Miller handled Deadpool is probably proof that he should have been brought on to handle this film. #Deadpool is a character known for his bad reputation when he was slated to get his own feature film.
Coming off of his abysmal live-action showcase in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the character needed redemption, and #TimMiller came along and provided that. Deadpool could not afford to have his image tarnished any further and it needed Miller's direction to keep it true to what made the character so beloved in the first place.
Keeping a character true to its roots is something that can make or break a film, and in this case it made the film an amazing spectacle. It is something that not a lot of filmmakers seem to do now. They want to take a character and create their own image out of it, instead of creating something even better out of the image that the character has already built.
This isn't just in movies though. It happens VERY often in video games as well, and I think there is no better example than Sonic The Hedgehog. He is an icon in the gaming world, but has fallen far from grace, with a string of terrible to mediocre games. Do you know what many fans blame these flawed games on?
Sony and Sonic Team have been accused of not staying true to the original vision of Sonic as a character and constantly trying to turn him into something he's not. Whether it is trying to make him more gritty, shifting his gameplay away from what made the games great, or — dare I say it — having him fall in love with a human woman in Sonic The Hedgehog (2006).
My point is: Sonic is suffering from the same thing that afflicted Deadpool when he was getting his own movie. Tim Miller took on that pressure of getting it right and was able to keep it true to its roots while also making it his own. With Sonic, it can be done the same way.
It's not just Tim Miller's ability to keep this film true to the character, but how he handles such a character. Some may not see the similarities between both Sonic and Deadpool, but they're there.
While Sonic's didn't speak in his first appearance in a game, he would jump off the screen and kill the player if they were away from the controller too long. In all his recent games, he chooses to joke with his enemies and constantly rips his arch nemesis Dr. Eggman, much like Deadpool does with Ajax all through the film.
Deadpool has a much filthier mouth on him, but the sarcastic tone and attitude is a trademark of our blue friend as well. Sonic has attitude emitting from his pores, and that is what Tim Miller is going to have fun with in this film. He brought out the best in Deadpool's personality and will be able to do it with Sonic too.
Sonic The Hedgehog will get everything it needs from Tim Miller to be successful because Miller knows how to make an audience fall in love with a arrogant and sarcastic character who doesn't take situations seriously.
Sony has made a lot of mistakes, but hiring Tim Miller was a very smart decision. While he will not be directing, he will obviously have a strong say in the outcome of this film. After his triumph with Deadpool, there is no doubt that Miller will command respect with the story.
Remember that time Sonic was brought back to life with a kiss?
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the Sonic The Hedgehog movie now that Tim Miller is on board? Tell me what you think in the comments!

Newscaster/Dragon/Maggots Trailer (2013)
01 February 2013 Fantasy, Animated 3 mins
The surreal film Newscaster/Dragon/Maggots is a transmission of what lurks in between the channels. This is a rotoscoped piece of animation created from three randomly selected pieces of found footage. The foundation of this piece is based in mathematics, chance and montage editing measured in increments of triangular numbers. After the Formalist groundwork was laid, elements of Surrealism were employed to take the film beyond the initial framework of the metric and rhythmic editing process. The pixels were playfully manipulated and melded together into an entirely new form, backed by a noise composition set into place without regard for pacing, only duration. Music by legendary noise musician Merzbow. Read more at http://gatewaycinephile.com/blog/2013/7/10/interview-with-chris-sagovac.

Exclusive Interview & Performance
Nef The Pharaoh Interview
by Omega Crosby
As a photographer/cinematographer I had the oppurtunity

Omega Crosby: So when did you start rapping?
Nef The Pharaoh: I started rappin at the age of 4, I don't remember what year that was, I think it was like 1999? yea, 1999.
Omega Crosby: When did you know this was the thing for you, the thing you wanted to do?
Nef The Pharaoh: Probably 99, I did a talent show at Vallejo High School and I won first place, and I wasn't even in high school. That's when I decided, "this is what I wanna do, this is my dream, and this is my destiny, and this is what I'm doing".
Omega Crosby: So what are your goals as an artist in the industry?
Nef The Pharaoh: My goal as an artist is to show the world how much talent I have, how diverse I could be, and give them greatness ya know; a soundtrack to life.
Omega Crosby: If you had a dream team collab, which three artists would you do a feature with?
Nef The Pharaoh: Drake, Andre 3000, and Big Pun.
Omega Crosby: Man, that's tight, that's tight.

I've been writing and talking about LGBTQ themes anime and manga for almost 20 years now and you know what? I never get tired of it. ^_^
Today's ANNCast, El Gee Bee, you can hear a fabulous, and much too short, conversation about that very thing.
Thanks very much to Zac Bertschy, Jacob Chapman, Valerie Complex, and Jason Thompson for a fantastic and fascinating conversation. I'll never watch Pokemon the same, thanks Jacob, (and honestly, I liked La Blue Girl for what it was, but I was admittedly an adult. I liked the live-action even more because it was hilarious.) I was delighted to be able to mention Claudine, Murcielago (coming out this year in English from Yen Press) and Otouto no Otto, coming out this year from Pantheon Books. (I said it was IDW during the recording. My apologies.)
Enjoy today's post? Subscribe to Okazu with Patreon!
I'm so honored to be back on the show and I really enjoyed the heck out of this conversation. I hope you all have as much fun with it as I did. Thanks, everyone!

CLASS 3A Cooper at Snyder
7:30 p.m., Tiger Stadium, Snyder
Radio: KKAM-AM 1340 (Lubbock); KSNY-FM 101.5 (Snyder)
Records: Cooper 1-1; Snyder 2-0
Last week: Cooper beat Lamesa 44-14; Snyder beat Estacado 43-6
Keep an eye on: Cooper, WR-DB Landon Ehlers (60 rushing yards, 14-yard TD catch vs. Lamesa); Snyder, RB D'White Wells (51 rushing yards, 26-yard TD catch vs. Estacado)
Key stats: Cooper rushed for 414 yards against Lamesa last week, dictating tempo and time of possession. Snyder held Estacado to 44 yards total offense and two first downs.
Keys to the game: Cooper must establish the running game against Snyder to keep the Tiger offense off the field as much as possible. Snyder needs to continue to spread the ball around, and quarterback Matt Reigh must be solid in the passing game.
Our pick: Snyder
Idalou at Littlefield
7:30 p.m., Wildcat Stadium, Littlefield
Radio: KZZN-AM 1490 (Littlefield)
Records: Idalou 2-0; Littlefield 2-0
Last week: Idalou beat Sundown 21-7; Littlefield beat Shallowater 33-7
Keep an eye on: Idalou, QB Travis Isom (115 offenisve yards in 2005); Littlefield, RB Jonas Camacho (239 rushing yards, 2 TDs in 2005)
Key stats: Idalou racked up 331 yards against Sundown, all on the ground; Littlefield hammered Shallowater for 377 total yards, including 225 rushing.
Keys to the game: Idalou must find some success through the air as Littlefield held Shallowater to 148 rushing yards last week. Littlefield will also need to hit some big plays in the passing game as Idalou limited Sundown to 50 rushing yards last week.
Our pick: Littlefield
Brownfield at Lamesa
7:30 p.m., Golden Tornado Stadium, Lamesa
Radio: KPET-AM 690 (Lamesa)
Records: Brownfield 1-1; Lamesa 0-2
Last week: Brownfield beat Kermit 20-19; Lamesa lost to Cooper 44-14
Keep and eye on: Brownfield, RB Trey Taylor (rushed for all three of the Cubs' TDs against Kermit); Lamesa, RB Kevin Furlow (rushed for 105 yards and one TD against Cooper last week)
Key stats: Brownfield fumbled eight times in its win over Kermit but lost only three of them. Lamesa allowed 414 rushing yards last week while gaining only 214 yards on the ground.
Keys to the game: Brownfield's rushers are only averaging about 3 yards per carry, so the Cubs may need better execution in the running game. Lamesa had three turnovers in its loss to Cooper, so the Golden Tornadoes will need to take better care of the football.
Our pick: Brownfield
CLASS 2A Olton at Slaton
7:30 p.m., Tiger Stadium, Slaton
Records: Olton 1-1; Slaton 1-1
Last week: Olton lost to Tahoka 27-13; Slaton beat Floydada 48-21
Keep and eye on: Olton, RB Tracy Deberry (has 299 rushing yards on 48 carries); Slaton, QB Kevin Kilmer (threw for 186 yards and four TDs against Floydada).
Key stats: A week after gaining 458 rushing yards against Sudan, Olton rushed for only 72 versus Tahoka. Slaton gained 372 total yards and had 21 first downs against Floydada.
Keys to the game: Olton followed a big win in Week 0 with a big loss last week, so the Mustangs look to return to top form. Slaton appears to be on the rebound, so consecutive wins over formidable opponents could give the Tigers a big boost of confidence leading up to district play.
Our pick: Slaton
Lockney at Post
7:30 p.m., Antelope Stadium, Post
Radio: KVOP-FM 103.9 (Lockney)
Records: Lockney 1-1; Post 1-0
Last week: Lockney lost to Childress 23-12; Post was idle
Keep and eye on: Lockney, QB Blaine Hall (threw for 144 yards and a TD on 11-of-27 passing last week); Post, RB-S Wilson Cash (scored two TDs and had two interceptions in a season-opening win over Seminole)
Key stats: Lockney had more passing yards (144) than rushing yards (113) against Childress. Post beat Seminole in Week 0 despite being outgained 270-193.
Keys to the game: Lockney had success with a rare pass-oriented attack last week, but the Longhorns may need to re-establish their running game. After outlasting Seminole in its opener two weeks ago, Post should be well-rested an refreshed after an off week.
Our pick: Post
CLASS 1A Morton at Nazareth
7:30 p.m., Swift Field, Nazareth
Records: Morton 2-0; Nazareth 2-0
Last week: Morton beat Roosevelt 43-35; Nazareth beat Anton 41-7
Keep and eye on: Morton, QB Brandon Eubanks (rushed for 153 yards and four TDs against Roosevelt); Nazareth, QB Dustin Schulte (passed for 214 yards and three TDs against Anton)
Key stats: Morton scored just nine points in its season opener before erupting for 43 last week. Nazareth has outscored the opposition 104-20.
Keys to the game: Nazareth passed for nearly 300 yards last week, so Morton's secondary will need to be on top of its game. The high-powered Swifts have two blowouts under their belt, and they may need to build an early lead against a Morton team with two close victories.
Our pick: Nazareth
Roosevelt at New Deal
7:30 p.m., Fabion Stadium, New Deal
Radio: KFYO-AM 790 (Lubbock)
Records: Roosevelt 1-1, New Deal 2-0
Last week: Roosevelt lost to Morton 43-35; New Deal beat Springlake-Earth 42-7
Keep an eye on: Roosevelt, RB Shelbie Lopez (2 TD runs, 99-yard kickoff return for TD vs. Roosevelt); New Deal, RB Tony Mora (2 TD runs last week against Springlake-Earth)
Key stats: Despite a 1-1 record, Roosevelt's offense is in high gear, averaging 350 yards per game. New Deal, ranked No. 6 in the state, has the second-best offense in Class 1A in the area, averaging 422.5 yards per contest.
Keys to the game: Roosevelt must keep its offense in high-gear if it wants to stay with New Deal, and hopefully find a way to slow the Lions down. New Deal must handle the Eagles rushing attack and force Roosevelt to pass, which it has done for just 63 yards.
Our pick: New Deal
LCHS at Capitan, N.M.
7:30 p.m., Tiger Stadiuim, Capitan, N.M.
Records: LCHS 0-2; Capitan 0-2
Last week: LCHS lost to Smyer 21-7; Capitan lost to Fort Sumner 43-0
Keep an eye on: LCHS, TE Trent Langford (14 tackles, fumble recovery, five catches, 58 yards vs. Smyer).
Key stats: LCHS has struggled offensively this season, averaging under 200 yards per game. Capitan has been outscored 80-21.
Keys to the game: Lubbock Christian has to find some success offensively to take the pressure off a defense that is allowing 32 points per game. Capitan needs to hit the Eagles early to gain some confidence.
Our pick: Capitan
Sundown at Crosbyton
7:30 p.m., Chieftain Stadium, Crosbyton
Records: Sundown 1-1, Crosbyton 0-2
Last week: Sundown lost to Idalou 21-7; Crosbyton lost to Plains 20-12
Keep an eye on: Sundown, WR Cutter Knox (caught six passes for 89 yards last week); Crosbyton, QB Michael Simpson (threw and rushed for a TD last week).
Key stats: Sundown is surrendering 27.5 points per game, while Crosbyton has scored just 24 total points this season.
Keys to the game: Sundown started the season against two teams from stout District 5-2A but should get back to its winning ways today. Crosbyton has struggled to get its offense in sync this season and the Roughnecks won't make it any easier.
Our pick: Sundown
Wellman-Union at Meadow
7:30 p.m., Bronco Memorial Stadium, Meadow
Records: Wellman-Union 1-1, Meadow 2-0
Last week: Wellman-Union beat Ropes 44-0; Meadow beat Borden County 47-0
Keep an eye on: Wellman-Union, RB David Franco (rushed for 151 yards and two TD last week); Meadow, RB Edward Gonzales (ran for 146 yards and two TDs last week).
Key stats: Meadow is averaging 55 points per game, while Wellman-Union is scoring 31 per outing.
Keys to the game: Meadow has looked impressive so far this season but faces its toughest test. The Wildcats kept Ropes out of the end zone and will need a similar defensive effort today against the explosive Broncos.
Our pick: Meadow
Grady at Ira
7:30 p.m., Bulldog Field, Ira
Records: Grady 0-2, Ira 0-2
Last week: Grady lost to Rule 67-20; Ira lost to Garden City 56-8
Keep an eye on: Grady, RB Aguedo Najera (top returning rusher for the Wildcats); Ira, LB Caleb Gutierrez (anchors Bulldogs' defense).
Key stats: Ira has scored just 14 points this season, while Grady is surrendering 54.5 points per game.
Keys to the game: Grady has shown flashes of an explosive offense but hasn't been consistent defensively. Ira needs to take advantage but has struggled on offense without quarterback Wes Kellner.
Our pick: Grady
Borden County at Ropes
7:30 p.m., Eagle Stadium, Ropesville
Records: Borden County 1-1, Ropes 1-1
Last week: Borden County lost to Meadow 47-0; Ropes lost to Wellman-Union 44-0

Well I completely uninstalled the old Morpheus (both components) and then ran Adaware. I then downloaded Morpheus again today and installed that version. Even though they are now less intrusive on another affiliates site, they are still set up to potentially steal commissions.
First off, the older 2.0 version was not accomodated to be updated with the fix. I have seen no prompt to install the newer one nor did any changes occur when I did a reboot of my system. I still had the slider and thing working per usual after I did a rebate and was able to have a test sale go through to buyersport from a click that originated from one of my aff links. That was earlier today right before I did the uninstall.
Second, now this is the situation. Yes the slider is gone. Completely. The sys tray icon with the sailboat is still there and is now defaulted to "show" when you install Morpheus. Now when I click on one of my merchant's aff links who buyersport is also joined with when the browser opens with my affil tracking the damn saliboat starts blinking red. Per Morpheus this means that you have arrived at one of their participating merchants through another advertiser. If you right click the sailboat and then choose "earn rewards" it takes you to the splash page telling the end user they need to buyersport through thier link to get their reward. Same thing the slider did if you clicked earn rewards. Not only that but if they choose "no cash" or whatever the actual phrase would be, it still spawns another browser window over the original affiliate's window explaining all the icons and whole thing about the shopping community.

Ok, if you Morpheus folks who are supposedly out there and wanting to know how to fix your software are reading this, here is your answer.
Have your application be completely dorminant with the same menu when you right click the tray icon as I see when I click it while here on ABW whenever an affiliate tied URL hits the browser. No mention of rewards, earning, or cash it that menu right now on a non merchant site. It's not a hard concept to grasp. I know you know what an affiliate URL looks like. If you want to truly run your business on the up and up and not steal from other people's web sites and all their hard work, that's all you have to do. And I know you have the means to implement this technology. Your technology already recognizes that the site I'm on right now isn't a potential revenue generating URL for you. Either really step up to the plate and do what is right, or just stop all the BS about your concern with doing things right. Maybe the real problem is you need someone to define for you what stealing really is.

I think they definitely DO know they are stealing. What they really NEED is a baseball bat crushing their brainpans. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]

Sky Bet Championship strugglers Wigan have parted company with Malky Mackay after the club slipped eight points adrift of safety.
The Latics were beaten 2-0 by Derby on Monday afternoon, leaving them facing the prospect of dropping down into League One barely two years after they were in the top flight and won the FA Cup.
And in a short statement on their official website, the club confirmed they had removed Mackay from his post just five months after his controversial hiring.

I Shot Andy Warhol Trailer (2002)
01 January 2002 1 mins
Cory Arcangel is one of a group of artists who work within the strict limitations and visual styles imposed by early digital technologies and media. For I Shot Andy Warhol, Arcangel reprogrammed a 1980s Nintendo videogame, Hogan's Alley, and populated the game with mass-culture icons. The artist chose the iconic personalities based on their ability to be readily recognizable even at the extremely small pixel size in which they are rendered.

eTeknix @ Insomnia i48 Day 1 Roundup
Peter Donnell / 5 years ago
Day one was a big success here at i48 and while the poor weather hampered some peoples arrivals it did little to break the spirits, many of the exhibitors were out in force and had some great products on display, competitions to enter, games to play, prizes to be won, sweet to be eaten and much much more, so without further delay, lets dive in and take a look at some of what iSeries has to offer.
One of the smaller, but more unique booths here at iSeries is Special Effect, who cater for disabled gamers, providing them with the interface and tools required to allow them to play today's games. On display was their unique interface that allows people with mobility issues, who have lost limbs and many other disabilities. Special Effect are encouraging anyone to sit down and have a go, the technology is simple yet effective and its proved popular with many of the patrons here at iSeries. You can check out their site at www.specialeffect.org.uk for more details on what they have to offer.
Those who have a love for fighting games are not left wanting as Injustice is here at the show in all its glory, with plenty of custom built arcade units for people to try out the game, kill some time and general have a lot of fun gaming on this upcoming title.
Another eTeknix favorite are Mad Catz who are once again out in force at iSeries, displaying many of their peripherals, promoting their brand, giving out a small fortune in epic prizes, sponsoring gaming tournaments, teams and providing equipment.
Back by popular demand is a presence for ShootMania Storm, with free 4 all tournaments, as well as the eSports matches, with plenty of prize money on offer for all to try and win.
PC Specialist are here with InWin, where they are showing off a rather godly system which features, not one, not two, but three GTX Titan graphics cards, a popular favorite with the crowd and its certainly an impressive demonstration of the PC Specialist teams system building skills.
In Win have got some of the most unique products on the market at the moment and they have a great display of their premium "frame" range of chassis, their latest power supplies and other case accessories as well as a few games for all to play, prizes to win and as with any booth here, fun to be had.
The more hardcore gamer may have interest here, as Gunnar optics are on offer to provide brand awareness, promote their products and demonstrate what they can do.
Ben from BeQuiet! is making a stern effort to outshine the stunning BeQuiet products, while they're mostly current or revisions of their exsisting products, the DarkRock 3 for example, BeQuiet! are here to push brand awareness and promote their products.
It wouldn't be a eSports event without a few pro gaming teams and along side BeQuiet you will find the Team Dignitas team doing their thing and competing for some of this weekends bigger prize pots.
ESET are pushing their brand too, offering plenty of advice to gamers on what services they provide and they are well routed in the iSeries community thanks to their on going support to the community, plus they give away free sweets on their booth while allowing you to shoot nerf guns, who doesn't enjoy that?
One of the more extensive booths is Retro Active Games, a re-seller of retro, classic and general gaming consoles, games and rarities. They have an alarmingly extensive and nostalgic collection on show, as well as an extensive display of retro consoles that you can play with many classic games, which I'll be taking a better look at later, you know, for research.
Minecraft is here too, not only in tournament form but also in these rather funky looking 3D models.
UK retailer CCL Computers have a great booth too, with multiple competitions, games to play where you can put some of the pre-built CCL gaming rigs to the test, the famous iSeries CCL T-shirts as well as a small retail side where they have a selection of computer essentials on offer.
CoolerMaster and their CMStorm brand area also on display and while their booth wasn't quite finished when I snapped this picture, they already had a great display of their cases, some very fine gaming rigs and a prime selection of their most popular peripherals. They're also running a few competitions on the booth based around popular LAN games such as LoL.
Another big UK retailer is on offer here at i48, Overclockers UK have their usual retail side of things going, providing a "deliver to your desk" service for those attending the event, repairs, advice, as well as free sweets and energy drinks to keep the party going.
The world famous iSeries raffle prize fun is looking healthy as ever, featuring thousands of pounds worth of prizes, computers, components, games and merchandise, I'm already collection raffle tickets myself, wish me luck!
Of course I can't forget eSports team, Team Infused, who are here competing against many of the other pro gaming teams in the bid so win some serious prize money, of course were wishing them the best of luck as eTeknix sponsor the team and were looking forward to seeing how well they perform this weekend.
The LAN gaming hall is pretty full this year and over a thousand gamers are drunk, tired, smelly and generally having a fantastic time battling it out on their favorite games, competing, watching family guy and drinking at the bar and boy does that hall get warm with all those systems running 24 hours a day!
Check back later where we will be bringing you even more coverage from the event as we round up the Day 2 coverage and take a closer look at some of the booths here at the show.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from having lived in the village Lasham, in Hampshire which was the site of an old stretch of King's Land called Lascham Wood.

Hampshire at Lasham, a small village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district that dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was recorded at Esseham. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) Literally, the place name means "smaller homestead, or homestead of a man called Leassa," from the Old English "laessa" + "ham." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

lasman Spelling Variations
lasman Spelling Variations
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of lasman include Lasham, Lassham, Lassam, Lascham, Lashem, Lashom, Laschem and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The lasman were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:

The friendly travel octopus
My role
Project lead
User research
UX design
iOS prototyping
The project
My capstone project for the CMU MHCI program was with Expedia, who challenged our team to find a way to integrate discovery experiences into travel planning. Our clients were excited by the ways consumers use services like Pinterest and Groupon to find content they didn't even know existed, and wanted to bring that same joy to travel planning, an infamously arduous process. Our team's goal was "to engage travelers through habitual discovery, delightful planning, and confident decision-making."
Our team spent four months researching travel planning, discovery, and delight through a huge variety of methods. We asked participants to fill out daily travel planning journals for two months to get an accurate sense of how planning unfolded. We visited social groups to ask why they kept coming back to the activities they found joy in. We watched people using discovery sites and broke down what made them exciting. Most entertainingly, we interviewed people in the middle of their vacations at Disney World and Las Vegas to ask how they were deciding what to do each day. We turned this data into a mountain of notes that we then synthesized into trends.
Our major finding was that people move through identifiable stages of the travel planning process, but in different patterns. Our clients at Expedia were especially excited about this finding, as they had long suspected it but had been trying to find the longitudinal data to support their hunch.
Armed with data and aware of the ways we could help people, we worked to create something that would solve the problems we had seen our research participants struggle with. We narrowed down the many opportunities for improvement to the one we felt we could most aid: People don't usually know what they want to do when they travel. We observed that the travel planning space, the one Expedia is generally known for, was very well served by existing products, but that once travelers got down to the details of their days, they were at a loss as to how to find activities they would love doing. We approached this problem by creating a product which would suggest activities that a traveler might do in a given area and which would learn each traveler's tastes through which activities were liked and disliked. We also added a basic itinerary feature with which travelers could keep a loose schedule, which we found to be the granularity that most people are comfortable with keeping.
For the last three months of the project, we iterated weekly on our product. We spent each week ideating, prototyping, and testing with users. We started the process working on the white board together, taking turns drawing and leading, and quickly moved to paper prototyping. From there, we moved up in fidelity to basic interactivity and eventually a fully functional prototype that I developed as a native iOS app.
We started out with a broad travel planning concept, trying to solve almost all of the major pain points we had observed, but soon discovered that the concept was too complex for people to understand and that it was not solving any of the issues very well. We narrowed our scope to helping travelers find activities, which gave us a sharper focus and allowed us to solve that problem more fully. The first version worked well, but it had lost the sense of wonder that we had seen travel bring to people. We revamped the concept and landed on Oliver, the friendly travel octopus. Our testing showed that Oliver both delighted people and helped them find activities that they would actually enjoy doing.
We tested each iteration using progressively more in-depth think-aloud sessions. For earlier iterations, we asked people in coffee shops and laundromats to take a minute to answer a few basic questions, which showed us whether they understood the basic concepts; for later iterations, we recruited participants to come to our lab space and spend half an hour using Oliver, providing rich feedback along the way.
The final design
The final prototype of Oliver is available through TestFlight; get in touch and I can send it to you.
We wrote two books during this process. The first is our research report; the second details the design process. Together, they tell the story above in much greater detail.

Picture: McFly The annual Girlguiding UK Big Gig, a special concert organised solely for members of the UK Girlguiding organisation, this year held at The Manchester...
McFly have confirmed that the recent release of their Greatest Hits album was not their decision - and said they won't be splitting up.
Bassist Dougie Poynter has said the group's record company forced them to release a best-of collection just three albums into their career, a move the Obviously stars found "frustrating".
When asked why the band had chosen to release the Greatest Hits, Poynter told Digital Spy: "It wasn't really our decision. It's in our record contract that they can release a greatest hits whenever they want, so we figured that if we're going to do it, we might as well get 100 per cent behind it."
He added: "I'm not angry about it, but I'd rather have released one more album and then done a greatest hits album. It would have made for a better mix of songs.
"After just three albums, it does feel very soon and you do get a lot of people thinking that we're going to split up now. It is a little frustrating."
Poynter added that the band are to fly to Australia in January to begin work on their fourth album.
Of McFly's thirteen top ten singles, seven have reached the number one spot in the UK, with latest release The Heart Never Lies hitting number three after coinciding with Take That's Rule the World and Leona Lewis' hugely successful Bleeding Love.

Certificates confirm authenticity and guarantee that quality and standardized procedures have been assured along the production chain. They convey key messages such as reliability, trust, quality and solidity. Consequently, for a certificate to be powerful, fraud-resistant and representative, it needs to express the unique and unequivocal identity of the issuing institution. And this unique identity has to underpin the value or service that the certificate stands for, and vice versa.
Orell Fussli Security Printing Ltd offers the full range of services needed to develop and issue certificates for all types of business. The Orell Fussli Security Printing Ltd team gives its full support and management experience to all projects, whether it is ensuring appropriate design and the right mix of security technology, or overseeing the manufacturing and providing a customised logistics system.
