I am a native Montanan, married to a native Montanan with two daughters. We have lived in Cut Bank since the 90s, we raised two lovely daughters who both live in Las Vegas. My husband, Bob works at Torgerson's in Ethridge.
It's that time of year again - the fall sports postseason. We've got football and volleyball brackets for you. We will be bringing you the Shelby at Huntley Project game on KSEN AM 1150 (and online) and the CJI at Charlo game on KZIN 96...
Here's the plan for the coming week:
Anaconda 20, Deer Lodge 8
Belgrade 72, Livingston 6
Billings Central 28, Laurel 10
Billings Senior 50, Billings Skyview 12
It's that time of year again - the fall sports post season. We've got the Volleyball Brackets all filled out and ready to go - get your copy and make your plans...
We had to sort through a pile of nominations to pick our male athlete of the week, on the female side, just one nomination, but still a quality pick.
After sorting through that pile, we could not deny the numbers put up by Heart Butte senior Chasen Kipp, who broke the state record in yards rushing (again) with 592 yards and eight touchdowns. The talented athlete also caught two touchdown passes and returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown, for a grand total of eleven. According to the Montana High School Association record book that's also a state record for total touchdowns in a single game. This second time athlete of the week totaled an inconceivable 717 total yards in Heart Butte's win over Box Elder 70 to 64.
Big Sandy 66, Augusta 32
Cut Bank 28, Shelby 0
Ennis 74, Lone Peak 14
Fort Benton 54, Chester-Joplin-Inverness 14

KSEN/K96 – Bozeman Trophy Athletes of the week once again beat out a talented field of nominees.
If you're running the ball against the CJI Hawks, you'd better stay clear of middle linebacker Brett Henke. Henke recorded 16 tackles in the Hawks' win last week over conference foe, Centerville, and while for most defenders that would be one huge night, coach Jim Vinson says his senior standout is averaging about that many. Henke also had one interception and 11 of those 16 tackles were solo stops. On the offensive side, the fullback-type runner had 150 yards on 29 carries, 94 kick return yards and one touchdown. It was Henke's fifth gave in a row with more than 100 yards and in two of those games he was over 200.

Samsung has announced the latest brush up to its Exynos 5 chipsets. The new Exynos 5 Octa big. LITTLE HMP chip (that you likely have in your Galaxy S4 phone) can now run on all of its cores at the same time. This means all the eight cores run simultaneously without skipping a beat. The processor you have in your current Samsung phone or tablet works in such a way in that you could either have four low-power Cortex-A7cores for low priority tasks, or the four high-performance Cortex-A15cores for high priority tasks.
Samsung hopes to deploy the new Exynos 5 Octa big. LITTLE HMP by in Q4 of this year. If the hardware is the same with the existing octa-core processors, we hope Samsung will push through an update for them as well.

December 2017 - Sierra de Grazalema
ABS Christmas meeting 16.12.2017
November 2017 - Fuente de Piedra
Arriving at Fuente de Piedra Visitor Centre a few Lapwings were viewed in the nearby field before we joined the group. It was a cold and chilly morning, with temperatures just above zero so most of the 22 members present were quickly donning another layer of clothing before we set off just after 9 o'clock.
November 2017 - Sierra Loja & Huétor Taja
ABS Meeting at Sierra Loja – November 2017Our leader for the day, Mick Richardson, met 19 ABS members at the service station on a beautiful but cold, crisp morning. Was he, I wonder, the only person not to realize it was cold as he was still wearing shorts! At least the attending members were wrapped up in warm clothing, thank goodness.
September 2017 - Tarifa
Over 20 members, some old, some new, met at the usual place, Lidl's car park, on a breezy Saturday morning. The leader for the day, Frank Hair, arranged car pooling and led the convoy off to Cazalla watchpoint to stake our position before the hoards descended!. By the time we arrived, always more complicated when approaching from the Tarifa side, half of the car parking spaces were already taken. The weather was fine but with a fairly strong westerly wind requiring an extra layer of clothing to be donned – autumn is here.
August 2017 - Cazalla Watchpoint and La Janda
Thirteen members, including three new, met up at venta Apolo XI where we all enjoyed a quick breakfast. Following refreshments, Frank Hair, our leader for the day, briefed everyone and decided that we would head to Cazalla migration observatory point close to Tarifa. After arranging the car pooling we headed off and as we approached the hill going past Tarifa we got our first view of what migration was all about. Hundreds of Black Kites on the left side of the road were gathering, struggling slightly with the moderate easterly wind to climb up into the sky. Onwards to the viewpoint and on entering Cazalla we parked and headed into the shade of the large cover.

SAVANNAH - Gay-rights activists are angrily accusing Democratic congressional candidate John Barrow of flip-flopping on the politically charged gay marriage issue.

Barrow is challenging Republican incumbent Max Burns in a nationally watched race in the 12th Congressional District, which stretches from Athens to Augusta to Savannah.
Burns and Barrow face off Nov. 2, when Georgians also are due to vote on a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Experts predict the measure, and referendums like it in other states, will attract more GOP-leaning religious conservatives to the polls.
Burns, an outspoken conservative, supports both the Georgia measure and a proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex nuptials.
Barrow's been quoted in news accounts as saying he's against the federal and state measures.
"I am opposed to amending the federal or state constitution in the manner proposed," he said in a July 16 debate.
But last week, he said through campaign manager Roman Levit that he's for the federal measure and has no position on Georgia's.
"It's a deceptive flip-flop," said state Rep. Karla Drenner, D-Avondale Estates, chairing the campaign against the state measure. "It's bait and switch.
"He said one thing during the primary-election campaign, and now he's shifting his position to appeal to a different political base."
Kevin Clark, director of the Savannah chapter of Georgia Equality, agreed.
"I don't see how he can look himself in the mirror," Clark said.
Levit, however, said Barrow's positions have been misunderstood.
"John has been consistent," he said. "He has always said that he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. And he's said he doubted that a constitutional amendment was necessary."
In that July debate, Levit said, Barrow spoke against the U.S. House version of a proposed constitutional amendment.
That version - but not the U.S. Senate draft Barrow now backs - would bar states from extending employment and health benefits to gay couples, Levit said.
"Since he's running for the House, that's the appropriate version for him to respond to," he said.
In the debate, though, Barrow didn't cite any specific version of the proposal. And gay-rights activists say they don't recall hearing him make any such distinction.
"I heard him say several times he was opposed to a constitutional amendment," Clark said. "He led us to believe that he supported us on the whole subject. At the end of the day, it's all the same thing: Writing discrimination into the constitution."
Bobby Jeffery, executive director of Savannah Pride, has rescinded an invitation to Barrow to speak at the Savannah Pride festival on Saturday.
"Though we are open to anyone and everyone," Jeffery wrote, "I find it doubtful you will find a friendly audience."

330lb Arapaima caught in Thailand
DERBYSHIRE rod David Negus opted to get the rods out during a recent holiday to Thailand and was rewarded with this enormous arapaima, estimated to weigh 330lb.
The exotic specimen - one of the most fearsome predators swimming in Far Eastern waters - was caught from a prolific nine-acre lake near Krabi, in the west of the country, and fell to a large deadbait.
David battled with the huge specimen for an arm-aching 30 minutes before he finally got it under control with the help of 6lb test curve Free Spirit Catfish rods and Shimano big pit reels loaded with 45lb braid.
He told Angling Times: "When I saw it in the huge cage net I couldn't believe it. I can only describe the feeling as one that someone must feel when they have won the lottery!"

Ooh, this one's gonna be fun.
Before we start, I recommend that you go read Welcome to Mystery, which this work is a follow-up to. If you haven't read it already, it can be found in the Frozen/Coraline crossover section. As for the rest of you, hello again! I'll try to keep this comprehensible, but I make no promises. This is for my entertainment just as much as it is for yours. Enjoy. :)
DISCLAIMER: If you recognize it, I don't own it.
"We have eyes, and we have nerveses. We have tails. We have teeth. She will get what she deserveses, when we rise from underneath…"
Nine Years Later
The snow came floating down from the north and tumbled over Arendelle in a gentle waterfall of white. No strange magic at work this time, only the first day of December. The children ran out to play as soon as it was light. Their mothers placed wreaths of holly and ivy on each door, and their fathers marched out to the forest in search of the perfect trees and Yule logs. The unnatural chill in the air went unnoticed.
When Anna finally drifted into consciousness, she took one glimpse outside and instantly stumbled out of bed. I'm not dreaming, right? This one's for real?
"Ma'am?" Kai asked, opening the bedroom door after a few tentative knocks. "It's ten to - "
"What day is it?" Anna demanded, grabbing him by the shoulders.
"The first of December, ma'am."
"Yes!" She tore off down the hall, not even bothering to put on slippers, with her tangled hair flying behind her. "Elsa! Elsa, where are you? Today's the day! You promised!"
"She's preparing for a meeting with the cabinet, Your Highness," a servant said as the princess skidded into the foyer. "I believe I last saw her in the courtyard."
"Oh, okay! Thanks!" Anna answered, pulling the front doors open.
"Ma'am, it's rather cold out there."
"I'll be fine!" Anna dashed outside and back in a moment later, shivering. "...Right. Yeah. Getting dressed."
When Anna stepped into the courtyard a few minutes later, the snowfall had blanketed the ground. Kristoff was helping several other men pull a large pine tree up between the fountains. Some sang a carol as they worked. The children of the town darted around them, shrieking with joy and lobbing snowballs at one another.
A nearby voice caught her attention. "I think you left the rest of me over there, could you just...chase it the other way, please?" It was Olaf - or rather, his head. The children had placed it on a stick and hung a sprig of holly on his nose, and they were laughing at their handiwork while shooing away the rest of his body. "Does this mean they like me, Anna?"
Smirking, Anna put her hands on her hips and ambled towards the children. "And what are you up to?"
They shrank back at the sight of her, putting the snowballs they'd been about to throw behind their backs. "Playing with the snowman," one of them said. "It doesn't hurt him or anything."
"Right, you have fun with that. Just watch your backs on the 24th."
Anna's smirk grew. "Haven't your parents told you what happens to naughty children on Christmas Eve? Saint Nicholas sends his friend the Krampus to deal with them."
The children's eyes widened. "Uh…"
"You know, the Krampus? Big scary goat man? He's got a sack just like the one Saint Nicholas carries, only he hasn't got any presents with him. It's for carrying little children. Yep, you heard me right! He just scoops 'em up in their sleep and carries them back to his lair!"
"Why does he do that?" Olaf asked.
"Because naughty children are extra delicious."
The children screamed. Ripping Olaf's head off the stick and flinging it at his body, they ran off shouting for their parents. "Sorry!" Anna called out after them. "Think I laid it on a little too thick…"
"No kidding." Elsa was standing behind her, arms folded and a questioning eyebrow raised. "You could have just told them to leave Olaf alone."
"Oh, they'll figure out that guy isn't real," Anna said as she put the snowman back together. "And if they don't, their parents will have it easy for the rest of the month. Win-win! Anyway, that's not what I came out here for," she added, smiling.
"What did you come out here for, then?"
"You don't remember? We're gonna move your stuff back to my room today!"
"We...oh," Elsa finished as she suddenly remembered. "Yes, of course, I just need to - "
"Kristoff can help us with the furniture, we just gotta move the boxes of the little stuff," Anna said, grabbing her hand and starting to pull her towards the door. "Come on!"
Elsa broke free from her grip. "Anna, I have to meet with the cabinet today. It'll be a while."
Anna stopped. "What do you mean, a while?"
"An hour. Maybe longer."
"I'm sorry. I forgot," Elsa added, glancing down. "You don't have to wait for me."
"Of course I will! Take your time."
Kristoff approached them, dusting his hands off. "So, are we ready?"
"Not just yet," Elsa told him. "I'll see you later." Sighing, she swept past her sister and back into the castle. The sooner you start, the sooner you get it over with.
"You okay, feisty pants?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Anna stood up from the spot on Elsa's floor where she'd been sitting cross-legged. She rearranged the boxes of her sister's, then sat back down in the midst of them. A moment later, she did it all again.
Kristoff's expression wavered between bemusement and worry. "That's a good start."
Anna rolled her eyes. "Has it been an hour yet?"
"It's been…" he looked at the clock on the wall. "...twenty minutes."
She stiffened, and from the bottom of her throat came a noise that was somewhere between a groan and a growl. As she picked up another box and carried it across the room, a small object wrapped in paper fell out of it and landed on the floor. Had Kristoff said nothing, she would have put it back and not given it another thought. Instead he looked at it and said, "Do you remember boxing that?"
"I…" Anna looked down at it and paused. "I don't think so." Kneeling, she picked it up and unwrapped the paper. In her hand was her five year-old self in wool and silk, a little doll. Even the freckles and the streak of white were there. Its mouth smiled up at her, as if to say I've missed you. But it was the eyes which drew her in. Two large black button eyes that seemed to grow larger when she stared into them. "So this is where you've been!"
"I lost this when I was nine. Didn't even have it for very long…" Images flashed through her mind: a long tunnel, a starry sky, Elsa's laughing face. "Do you think she knows how it got here?"
Kristoff shrugged. "You could ask her. Not right now, I mean - Anna, come back!"
Anna was already out the door and walking towards the meeting hall. "I'm just gonna wait outside until she's done!" She unconsciously clutched the doll closer to her, and the button eyes flickered. Just behind her, the faint shadow of a claw-like hand trailed along the wall.
The prisoner on the throne watched it all and laughed bitterly. "So black moves first now." Its queen had never been one for others' rules, anyway.

Forex Affiliate Forums – a Secure Place to Discuss the Forex Trade
The brokers and dealers of forex trade market always tend to have their research done before trying the new affiliate programs, because they are here to make money and definitely never want to put their money at wrong hands. Most of the associate plans offer high commission and promise on time monthly payments and other perks. But, how do you know they are trustworthy? You need to have an insight in the different membership schemes and forex affiliate forums are the best options available. Foreign exchange traders discuss their problems and strategies at these message boards and being a member of any forex affiliate forum will help you gain knowledge about the trade.
A Good Option for the Newcomers in the Trade
A complete novice in the trade lacks idea about the currency market and can fall for the wrong associate schemes and lose money. So, it is advisable to register with a reputed forex affiliate forum to learn about the right and wrong of the trade. You can always post your doubts and ask questions at these discussion boards and you can remain sure that your doubts will be clarified and you will get an idea about the trade. Your questions about conversion rates and payment process in an associate program will all be answered; you can take my word for that. Speaking of payment processes, I would like to offer a small suggestion; prefer the programs offering commission in CPA plan over the schemes that offer you commission in the revenue sharing plan. Trust me; CPA is a lot easier.
A Good Tool to Know About the Membership Programs
There are so many membership programs, each offering their lucrative features of high commission and claiming to maintain transparency. But, always remember to deal with reputed brokers offering trustworthy associate programs. Most of the forex affiliate forums will advise you to deal with associate programs that offer you to create a demo account and try their trading platform. Always remember that this is the best option because it will let you be thorough with the membership program and also you will not lose any real money. Never stick to a single forex affiliate forum, because there are so many. Try as many as you can, and gain knowledge about the trade and different programs, because there is chance that a single forex associate forum can be biased towards a specific associate scheme. It won't cost you anything to try a few more places on the Internet instead of sticking to one single discussion board. Different ideas posted on different discussion boards and diverse suggestions will help you to find an associate scheme that will meet your needs.
To Use a Foreign Exchange Membership Forum
Linking up with a forex associate program is very easy. Find the forum and get registered in it. Remember, you need to become a member of the forum to gain the most advantage of it.

The anime business of South Korea had been prospering since Kim Cheong-gi's 1976 classic Robot Taekwon V, which was made as the Korean counterpart to Go Nagai's Japanese classic Mazinger Z. Since the South Korean government banned Japanese media (and this includes animes and manga), Korean interpretations of Japanese animes had emerged in the late 1970s to the 1980s, mostly taking on the Mecha/Super Robot concept. However, some Korean animes that have much different concepts had emerged since the mid 1990s to early 2000s.
In 2003, Sung Baek-yeop directed Oseam (Korean: 오세암, meaning: "Five Year Old Temple"). It was a religious drama centered around two orphans, Gami and her younger brother Gilson, as they seek refuge at an ancient Buddhist temple, trying to help each other out through the struggles of life. A rather bland and simple concept, but it still counts as the best Korean anime that was made before 2005, mostly due to the higher-budgeted animation, use of mostly green and yellow as colors, and possibly pretty dialogue.
The film was distributed by Sinabro Entertainment and was not only released in South Korea but also in France. Oseam wasn't dubbed into English, but Region 3 DVD copies of the movie had English subtitles.
In my opinion, Oseam makes Buddhist animes from Japan look a heck of a lot better.

CAFOD exposes dirty face of gold industry
A new CAFOD report released today exposes the real cost of gold - the environmental and social destruction that is linked to gold mining. The Catholic aid agency's report - Unearth Justice: Counting the cost of gold - reveals the dirty side of gold. It uncovers evidence of people being forced from their homes, worsening poverty and conflict over the precious metal. Cyanide and arsenic have also been found in water, while mountains and forests have been destroyed and traditional agriculture has declined. The report focuses on two countries, Honduras in Central America and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). CAFOD director Chris Bain said: "Gold is one of the most prized commodities and a symbol of wealth and power. Gold prices reached a 25-year high last month. But how often do we think about how gold reaches our high streets? Gold doesn't look quite so shiny to many people in developing countries living in and around gold mines. To them, gold often means poverty, health risks and destruction of their homes and environment. "Much of this can be blamed on the activities of multinational gold mining companies. We have to break this destructive pattern by challenging businesses to clean up their act and stop undermining the poor." The report is published today to launch CAFOD's new campaign - Unearth Justice. The campaign tackles the bitter paradox that developing countries richest in natural resources, such as oil and precious metals, are often the poorest and most prone to conflict. The campaign will call the gold industry to account and aims to change the way gold is mined. CAFOD is targeting gold mining companies as well as major national high street jewellers, calling on them to take steps towards ensuring the gold they produce, buy and sell is ethically and responsibly produced. Author of the report, CAFOD's private sector policy analyst Anne Lindsay said: "Too often those most directly affected by mining feel powerless. In Honduras, communities have been uprooted because of gold. In the past, gold has been a source of conflict and suffering in DRC. For gold to be a blessing not a curse, we have to make sure that the people of gold-rich developing countries can influence what happens to their own natural resources." CAFOD, together with partners Caritas Tegucigalpa in Honduras and Caritas Bunia in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have made specific recommendations to two companies to give local communities a greater say over how gold is mined: in Honduras, Canadian owned multinational Glamis Gold which runs the San Martin mine in the Siria Valley through their subsidiary company Entre Mares. In DRC, AngloGold Ashanti, a subsidiary of Anglo American. AGA is currently carrying out exploration work near the town of Mongbwalu in Ituri, NE DRC. To read the report see: www.cafod.org.uk

Questions and Emails
- Question #1: Groupthink I saw an interesting article on Ars Technika discussing the way people take polarised positions based on climate change based on cultural identity rather than it being an issue of scientific literacy. If this is the case, it would help to better explain some of the problems we see with people taking such extreme sides, often without taking an interest in the evidence, even some self identified Skeptics supporting the skeptical position as a knee jerk response rather having used critical thinking; I'm thinking particularly of the many very polarised knee jerk responses we see in comments on SGTTU's Facebook posts. (By the way, I'm sure you've taken to posting occasional purposeful misrepresentations of some stories to test us, to check that we're checking sources etc. – where do I claim my $5 for spotting this. ;) ) Yet another in the pot of various cognitive biases, perhaps, for us to remember when considering our own positions? I don't think this is anything fundamentally new, we were aware of both tribal/group think and biasing responses through the way the questions are asked, but it's great to see more research into this, don't you think? Anyway, keep up the fab work, and here's the article below.

Posted on December 13, 2016 in Arsenal News
Arsene Wenger says that he is not worried about Tottenham catching Arsenal, as he believes that the gunners will always be bigger than their North London rivals.
As a testament to this fact, Spurs are now building a 61,000 seater stadium in tune with the Emirates stadium. Arsenal managed to construct the Emirates stadium as one of the finest pieces of architecture in the Premier League. One of the modern stadiums in England, it has helped Arsenal elevate to a new level with an improved finances allowing them to sign players like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez without the backing of a rich benefactor.
Spurs have been able to achieve much of their success in the last couple of years under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino. However, they have never finished above Arsenal in the league table over the last two decades.
Wenger reckons that it may not happen at least in his tenure."I do not think about Tottenham ever becoming a bigger club than Arsenal. I think about Arsenal and making us as big as possible, making us stronger.We have a strong fan base, maybe the strongest in London, and as long as we do our job Arsenal will always be the stronger. No position is guaranteed. It is about doing our job, but at the end of the day everything is decided by what happens on the pitch," said Wenger.

Writer-director Giuseppe Tornatore's glorious 1988 love letter to the movies is now deservedly hailed as a classic of Italian cinema. This 1989 Best Foreign Film Oscar-winner and Cannes Jury prize-winner would be worth watching for the climactic sequence alone, in which we're taken on a magic trip through the cinema's greatest moments.
But all of Tornatore's film is magical, starting with the magnetic performances of Philippe Noiret as Alfredo, the kindly grouch of a projectionist at the Sicilian small-town fleapit picture house Cinema Paradiso, and Salvatore Cascio (just nine) as the infatuated little kid Toto who can't take his big eyes off the screen. These two, and their sweet, growing relationship that turns into a deep friendship are the heart and soul of the movie.
The old man tries to kick Toto out of the projection box that fascinates him so much, but helps the boy out against his strict single mother and eventually seeks the kid's help in a literacy exam in return for teaching him the skills and tricks of the projection trade.
Eventually, with the boy grown into a handsome young man (Marco Leonardi) who falls for a girl who disappears, the projectionist tells him he must leave Sicily for a new life in Rome and never come back, never be in contact with him again.
This is the first big tearful moment in the movie but the final scene is going to top it, with one of the most tear-jerking scenes in any movie.
The film runs in one long epic flashback but it starts with the grown-up and now middle-aged Toto (played by Jacques Perrin) finally going back to the town of his birth after a gap of 30 years on hearing the news that the old projectionist has died.
He's reunited with his mother, old friends and old colleagues for the funeral and learns that the Cinema Paradiso has been closed for six years and is about to be reduced to rubble to build a car park.
Cinema Paradiso is a film for everybody who loves the movies, made with total tender loving care and a lot of heart, warmth and typically Italian sentimentality by director Tornatore. Cinematographer Blasco Giurato, composer Ennio Morricone and production designer Andrea Crisanti provide major, distinguished contributions to a visually and aurally thrilling experience. You won't be able to get Morricone's music out of your head for hours.
In celebrating the warm values of the past, Italy's southern culture and the golden age of the movies, Tornatore records the death of cinema in Italy and bemoans his countrymen's move away from culture as a nation. He achieves a cleverly contrived film built out of many contradictions, giving it its power and its subtlety. It's a simple story with a profound message, emotionally it's both cosy and harsh, and its ending is blatantly nostalgic but devastatingly moving at the same time.
The 122-minute UK release version is clumsily hacked, with whole sections inexplicably missing. It's plays like the Reader's Digest version of the film. Cinema Paradiso: The Special Edition is something else, a satisfying wallow in an epic life-long personal journey. It runs a whole hour longer at 180 mins.
After its beautiful restoration in 2013 for its 25th anniversary, it's time to see it on a big screen, if you can, and then buy it on DVD to watch the whole movie, and particularly the film clips, over and over again and again.
Cascio won the Bafta award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. He says: 'Cinema Paradiso is about the power of dreams. I'd never even been to the cinema before. I didn't really know what it was.'
Noiret died onaged 76.
It's no accident that the boy shares a name with the celebrated Italian star comedy actor Totò (1898-1967), who appears in several of the archive clips and posters.

So Ransom Stoddard picks up the steak while screaming at both of them, goes on to be a Senator and rule over all of us. Which means what? I don't know. What I do know is that neither heroes nor anti-heroes end up (with rare exceptions) wielding real power. Stoddard was a lawyer, right?

Price: $0.99
Color Petals is a exciting new application from DewDrop Studios that tests your basic Math skills in a fun and fast-paced game. The core idea behind the iPhone app is that you have a rotary dial with empty slots. You are given a number in the middle and little petals will float in with other numbers on them. The goal is to match up two numbers to equal the middle number. There are several different game modes that you can switch to as the game progresses. You are first challenged with addition, then subtraction, multiplication, and finally division. It gets harder as the game progresses and numbers start flying in from all directions!
The game play of Color Petals is fast paced. It may start slowly, but the petal frequency and speed increases as you score points and have them subtracted when you error. It's fast to get caught up on one number and forget that others are streaming in. It was fun to dust off those old Math skills and start getting my brain back into quick thinking mode. The game play reminded me of using flash cards back in grade school.
Color Petals really sucks you in. I immediately was having a flashback from old Math classes where I would take timed tests, but in the best way possible. There are several options to increase the interactivity of the game. You can add sound effects and music, or play silently. You can also affect the gravity and motion in the game to increase difficulty.
Fun Factor
I really think that Color Petals is a fun way to get your brain moving. Who couldn't use a refresher course in some of the basic Math skills that we have forgotten? This game has some fun variations and a bit of an addictive nature. I would love to pass the time with this game over some of the mindless ones that I play now. I can almost feel myself getting smarter with each round.
At $0.99, this game is modestly priced. The fun that this game provides substantiates the price. I think that young kids and adults alike will get enjoyment out of this game.
Color Petals is a fun way to get your brain back in gear and sharpen your dulled Math skills, while at the same time have a blast. Add this iPhone app to your library and use your extra time to get focused. Go Math!
Color Petals iPhone app requires iPhone iOS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

As a former student, teacher, school administrator and school board member, our school system has always been a source of pride. Things have not always been as they should, but currently things could not be better, nor could the system be in better hands because of its leadership.
With Superintendent Chuck Adams receiving the state's highest leadership award, "The Spirit of Leadership," each and every parent and citizen should take great comfort in the fact that our system is headed in the right direction.
I am at a serious loss as I sit here and read about [the July 2] Fiscal Court meeting. Why is it that Lawrence Trageser continually has his nose in the wrong place. This man seems to have nothing better to do than to torment county officials. Why are we putting up with this?
Apparently this man has an issue with everything that goes on in Spencer County except the fire department at the moment. He seems to have befriended members of the department.
A troubling trend is emerging from city and county government officials of increased difficulty and decreased transparency for citizens to voice concerns and request information from their local government. That is unsettling to us here at The Spencer Magnet.
I believe some of our Fiscal Court members are listening to the wrong people. I ask each one of you to watch out for these people who are trying to keep your court confused and a racket going in your court. Be sure and take a look and see how much these kind of people have to gain.
Some may want to run for your job. Some may be trying to force you to vote for their special interest. Some may be trying to get you to support someone running for office. It could be any one of these things.
What a debacle.
Who would have thought we'd address the lack of a fireworks display in Spencer County on our opinion page for two weeks in a row?
Last week, we sought out to bring you information about some sort of fireworks display in the community. In the end, we went looking for a display that didn't exist.
Editor's note: Marina owner Javan Montgomery said Friday afternoon that there will be no public fireworks display at the marina. Montgomery said any previously circulating information about a public fireworks display was incorrect.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Thomas Crain and Becky House for once again providing free KHSAA sport physicals for the student athletes of Spencer County. We had a record 97 participants this year.
I also appreciate that staff members Debbie Hardin and Lisa Walls also gave freely of their time.
Lady Bears volleyball Coach Wendy Elder, Lady Bears basketball coach Lisa Smith, Grizzly basketball coach Logan Dunbar, parents Connie Devine, Paula Cox and Amy Lear also helped to run stations at the clinic.

After moving to Taylorsville less than three years ago, I have had my eyes opened wide to the way our local government operates. Like many of you, I was not an active participant in politics, short of browsing The Courier Journal to see where each candidate stood on the issues so that I could make a somewhat-informed choice on election day.

Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown Combines Local Flavor, Modern Comfort in Brand New Remodel
Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown recently unveiled a new look, imbued with plenty of local flavor and flair…and you wouldn't expect anything less from the brand. Hotel Indigo has established itself as a boutique hotel brand that focuses on the local. Taking cues from each neighborhood where each hotel resides makes the Hotel Indigo experience one-of-a-kind.
Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown opened in October 2004 and the staff have spent the past seven years becoming part of the community – they've learned from the locals and their guests how to tell the neighborhood's story. When redesigning any Hotel Indigo location, the design team asks themselves, "If the locals were to build a hotel, what would they want it to say about their city?" according to Caroline Counihan, Senior Media Relations Manager for Upscale Brands at InterContinental Hotels Group, which owns the Hotel Indigo brand. They didn't have to look far for inspiration for the remodel – with The Fabulous Fox Theatre just across the street, full of history, stories and local color, Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown pays homage to the unique culture and story of this famous theatre.
From the decor behind the front desk (yes, those are enlarged ticket stubs from concerts at The Fox – look closely to see a stub from The Cockroaches, the name under which the Rolling Stones toured in early days) to the enlarged graffiti throughout the lobby and restaurant area, the hotel now tells stories of The Fox that are little known. The graffiti is actually real-life art from the projection booth at The Fox – a place where only lighting designers and projection managers tread, rarely ever seen by the public. It's practically an archaelogical gold mine of Fox Theatre history, a living, breathing, ever-changing piece of the archives.
Look closer still and you'll see more evidence of the inspiration from The Fabulous Fox: the bar is modeled after the pipes of the Mighty Mo organ, which is still in use for before-show sing-alongs at The Fox. The check-in desk is designed to resemble a stage. The screen in the lobby plays films to mimic the annual Coca-Cola movie festival.
The emphasis on the local goes even deeper, from the Smart Glass chandeliers by local artist Kathleen Plate to the devotion to using local food and beverage at the 683 Midtown Bar & Bistro, the newly redesigned restaurant and bar. Among the local vendors and growers on the list are Masada Bakery, Phoenix Produce, Sweetgrass Dairy, and The Local Farmstand.
It's all brought together in a fun, funky color scheme of bright pinks, greens and red-oranges, tempered with black-and-white and muted gray, and jazzed up with the neon lights behind the bar. Somehow this jumble of busy themes – including the graffiti-ed walls and multi-patterned textiles – come together to create an airy, comfortable, casual space that just feels like Midtown Atlanta.

Wal-Mart's warehouse retail chain) has a big ol' bundle available soon. Members will be able to purchase a 60GB Xbox 360, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and Guitar Hero III (with wireless guitar) for $350. We contacted the company to double check that it wasn't a typo and, sure enough, we were told it was accurate. The bundle should start arriving in November-- there's no specific date for it being in stores, so call ahead.
While we're talking Sam's Club, we've also been told all Guitar Hero III bundle prices have been reduced (we've placed details after the break). We were also informed that the store, along with Wal-Mart, will have a limited edition "dragon" controller (no picture currently available), bundled with a black headset, for $60. We'll keep an eye out for other deals as we approach the holidays.
Update: Adjusted text for Lego Indy and Kung Fu Panda being offered with the standard system.

When African-American leaders took up the case of Trayvon Martin, they knocked on the door of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. That's happening a lot lately. Over the past three years, the unit has investigated record numbers of hate crime allegations. It has also uncovered abuses in local police departments and challenged voting laws in Texas and South Carolina. NPR justice correspondent Carrie Johnson reports.
CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: On the walls of his office in the Justice Department, Civil Rights chief Tom Perez has tacked up photos of his heroes: Ted Kennedy and Frederick Douglass. Perez says they help him keep an eye on his mission.
TOM PEREZ: I wish discrimination were a thing of the past. I wish we were living in post-racial America. I wish my phone were not ringing. But regrettably, it's ringing off the hook in the voting context. It's ringing off the hook in the hate crimes context and in so many other contexts.
JOHNSON: Just last week, Perez announced federal hate crimes charges against three white youths who had been targeting African-American men for sport in Jackson Mississippi. Last summer, those three young white men found James Craig Anderson. They beat him and ran over him with a three-ton pickup truck. Those men face life in prison when they're sentenced later this year.
ERIC HOLDER: We have come a long way in our journey.
JOHNSON: Attorney General Eric Holder.
HOLDER: But we're not at the place yet where we want to be. Even though we have an African-American president, we have an African-American attorney general, there are still instances that we see - I think painfully see of discrimination.
JOHNSON: Holder pointed out a record $335 million settlement that the Justice Department extracted from the Countrywide mortgage company last December. Countrywide had been accused of steering black and Latino homeowners into subprime home loans that carried higher rates and fees.
HOLDER: The civil rights division, I think, is the conscience of the Justice Department.
JOHNSON: But for political conservatives, this unusually active civil rights division represents something else.
ROGER CLEGG: It's a very liberal civil rights division, I think by far, the most liberal I've seen.
JOHNSON: Roger Clegg is president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative think tank that follows issues of race and ethnicity. He says this Justice Department is pushing the boundaries of the law when it comes to voting rights and fair lending. But Clegg says it's not doing enough to prevent racial quotas in school admissions.
J. Christian Adams, a conservative lawyer who quit the department in 2010, has a more pointed critique. He says his political superiors at Justice showed...
J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS: An unwillingness to enforce the law in a race neutral fashion.
JOHNSON: Adams helped propel a scandal that dogged the Obama Justice Department for two years, the department's decision to narrow charges against members of the New Black Panther Party, a fringe group accused of intimidating Philadelphia voters on Election Day 2008. Their activities were videotaped by a conservative activist and broadcast over and over on Fox TV. No white voters came forward to say they felt uncomfortable, but Adams said...
ADAMS: The law also bans the attempt to intimidate. And I think anyone who sees the video can see that that was going on.
JOHNSON: Perez and the attorney general got grilled on the issue just about every time they testified before Republicans in Congress. But ethics watchdogs at the Justice Department ultimately concluded that the Civil Rights Division had done nothing wrong in the Black Panther case. Eric Holder.
HOLDER: It was something that had no basis, in fact. It was politically motivated and was an unnecessary distraction.
JOHNSON: Perez says he's too busy to linger on those old controversies. Earlier this month, he announced a big settlement with a suburban Minnesota school district to prevent bullying in schools. Several kids there committed suicide after facing taunts over their sexual orientation. He's also gearing up for big legal fights over the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The department rejected voting laws in Texas and South Carolina, which he says discriminate against blacks and Latinos at the ballot box.
PEREZ: It's about expanding opportunity, whether it's the opportunity to vote, the opportunity to realize the American dream of home ownership, the opportunity to get a fair education. We're in the opportunity business, and I think we've been able to expand opportunity.
JOHNSON: Some of those controversial issues, the Voting Rights Act, tests of affirmative action, are destined to end up before the Supreme Court. But Perez says his job is about making sure everybody has a fair shake, something he remembers every time he looks at pictures of his inspiration on the wall. Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived on a heath, which is an area of level, uncultivated land with poor, coarse, undrained soil and rich deposits of peat or peaty humus. The surname Heathman belongs to the class of topographic surnames, which were given to people who resided near physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of trees.
Heathman Early Origins
Durham where it was first listed as Atte-Hethe, Apud Hethe and Del la Hethe in the Rotuli Hundredorum of 1279. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. The name was denoted for someone who lived on or by a heath, typically filled with heather. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Hanks, Patricia and Flavia Hodges, A Dictionary of Surnames. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1988. Print. (ISBN 0-19-211592-8) Kirby's Quest for Somerset listed Adam atte Hethe and John atte Hethe during the reign of Edward III. [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Dickinson, F.H., Kirby's Quest for Somerset of 16th of Edward the 3rd London: Harrison and Sons, Printers in Ordinary to Her Majesty, St, Martin's Lane, 1889. Print.
Later in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379, Robert del Heth was listed. Thomas Atte-Hethe was rector of Ringstead Parva, Norfolk in 1376 and Ralph atte Heythe was rector of Rockland Tofts, Norfolk in 1398. [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Heathman Spelling Variations
Heathman Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Heathman were recorded, including Heath, Hethe and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Heathman family emigrate to North America:
Heathman Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Espere mieux
Motto Translation: Hope for better.

Special Day Butterfly...Just Us Girls #281~Colour Week, Always Playing with Paper #25
Whirlwind week happening, and because time is of the essence, I'll save up chatter for *very* soon!
Yes, more butterflies...'nuff said! Thank you for indulging me in my obsession...
Another 'drab' photo, as we've been having a run of dull days, with few peeks of blue skies. In real life, the pastel/lightness of the pink and grey, paired with the navy sentiment is quite fetching.
Given the colour commentary, my challenge entry is fairly easy to predict:
Just Us Girls #381~Colour Week (want. those. cushions!)
I was also inspired by Lesley's Challenge #25 sketch, although I did make a few, ahem...adjustments...which I hope are okay...
Off to make supper for an arriving-home-late husband...
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day,

Feit just released the Superclean Kudu's for pre-order at their online store. They are lookin' mighty fine indeed! The entire upper is made from kudu (reversed) and cames with waxed cotton laces too. To read more about the shoe, hit the jump or alternatively, you can visit Feit HERE.
Material: KUDU REVERSE
The material we have chosen to build this shoe in is called KUDU.
The Kudu is a very large graceful antelope that grazes in the bushveld areas of Southern Africa. The Kudu is hunted in limited numbers to maintain ecological balance in national parks. Living wild ensures a lean fat to muscle ratio resulting in a strong tight skin.
Kudu is both breathable and reversible – both sides of the skin may be used. The skin side is nubuck like and has visible scratches and scars resulting from life in the wild. The reverse side of the skin is softer than the softest suede , with a lush and velvety texture.
Although Kudu does not need to be lined, this shoe is lined using French calf skin in order to maintain a sleek well formerd toe, rather than the draping that would otherwise occur.
Laces: Waxed Cotton
This shoe is laced using a natural cotton lace that has been waxed for protection.
Outsole: Lactae Hevea
All natural sole form the milk of he Hevea tree.
Construction: Handsewn Goodyear
This process was pioneered by the Goodyear family and is the traditional method for manufacturing men's dress shoes.
The upper of the shoe is stretched over the last and stitched to a leather strip known as a welt. The Lactae Hevea sole is then stitched to this welt. This is a labour intensive process performed by expert craftspeople and allows for constant airflow through the shoe aiding ventilation, durability and strength.
Like all FEIT products the Superclean is hand made.

What happens when you are affected by Production issue syndrome(at work) ? Answer: A delayed post, no time for cooking, frustrated mind and so on. I was down with this syndrome since last Tuesday. Some strange bug had invaded our production server which eventually bit me. I had no clue from where it came and how it infiltrated. I tried to treat it with various smart solutions but it was not ready to quit. Somehow I quarantined and fixed the bug. Later I found that the Mother bug was actually residing in one of the distant relative of our production server which had sent her kiddos to infect us and our neighboring server. This bug not only screwed up the Christmas holiday weekend, but also shattered my terrific plans. It was so infectious that it affected my retail therapy, blog posts, baking plans and lot more.
Do you come across such bugs at work or home, which screws up all your plans? Share it with me.
Ok, take a break. Let me introduce my guest writer Mrs. Parvadha Vardhini. She has contributed delicious and healthy Moong Dhal Pakoda for the Kids Special event. Thank you Vardhini for allowing me to post your entry in my blogspace.
(Below post is written by Mrs.R.Parvadha Vardhini. She has also sent step by step pictures for this event)
It was a rainy day evening, I thought of something hot and crispy. Children need protein as major supplement for their growth in all aspects, I preferred this chilka moong dal recipe, which was easy to make, tasty and my children always wish to have this after they come from school.
Also this chilka moong dal is light and it never gives GIT discomfort (Gastro Intestinal Tract).
Chilka moong dal – 1 & ½ cups.
Onion – 1 large, finely chopped.
Mint leaves – few, finely chopped.
Coriander leaves – 1 bunch, finely chopped.
Ginger – 1 small piece, chopped.
Red chillies – 4 to 5
Fennel seeds – 2 tbsp
Curry leaves – few
Salt – according to taste
Oil – for deep fry
Soak chilka moong dal for 2 hours. Drain and grind to a coarse paste along with salt and red chillies. Don't add water; squeeze out water and grind. Mix all other ingredients to this paste.
Heat oil in a kadai, take small ball of batter by hand and release the batter little by little randomly, take care that the oil does not splash on the hands. (I use to cook in simmer mode for all pakodas).
Cook pakodas by turning it with the spatula till it gets a brownish colour. Take care not to overcook it.
Now, the hot and crispy moong dal pakodas are ready to serve. It goes with tomato ketch up.
If salt proportion goes high in any of the dishes, make small balls of wheat flour and put these balls into the salty dish.
After 5 to 10 minutes, remove these balls, the dish tastes normal. This is applicable only for gravy dishes. So, take care not to make dry recipes salty.

I made this card by following the sketch (above) from Friday Sketchers Blog #85
and I also incorporated it into the Cupcake Craft Challenge #73, which has a theme "Going Girly".
The papers I used were papermania papers, and all the card I used is from The Paper Mill.
I used a small circular punch, and punched a circle out of some white card, then I stuck a peeloff to it to decorate it a little.
I hope you like the card I made, thank you for looking!

Great piece of kit!! I do hope you are able to assist as I'm looking forward to getting up and running.
I'm relatively new to FE dev and I having trouble the build process. I get the local server running but all I see after a (bundle exec) jekyll serve is n 'Index of /' page. How infuriating - I'm keen to dive in!!
I was wondering if you could outline the (correct) build process, step by step, to help me? It would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi @marmaliser
This is actually a bug in the _config.yml file which causes jekyll serve to look at the wrong root directory. I will get this fixed in 4.0.0-beta. However, in the meantime, you should be able to run the following commands to get the documentation site working:
jekyll serve
grunt doc
grunt connect
Alternatively, opening the .html files from /gh-pages folder directly in your browser should work find as well.
Perfect! I was able to get it running on gh-pages as you mention, I just had issues serving it locally. Not any more - it's working fine now
Great support guys, thanks.

Birth can be a frightening time but the soul looks up at her, eyes bright with optimism.
'Will life be good?' he asks.
In the bed nearby his mother curses, already wondering if she should have had that abortion, and the girl in black reaches down to ruffle ginger hair.
'Yeah,' she says. 'And hard and scary at times, too. But in the end it will be what you make of it.'
He nods, walks towards the small body ready to take its first breath of air, but stops and looks back at her. 'Will I see you again?'
'Yes, you'll see me again, Walter. And then you'll be able to tell me if life was worth it.'
The sound of wings fills the ward, and a sharp wail rises over it.
The first time he understands what his mother does is when a client bends down to pat his head. He meets their eyes, yellow in the dim light of the hallway, and all the pieces slot together with a painful jolt.
Later, in the nightmares that leave him hard and shamed, his mother's clients will always have yellow eyes.
Walter gazes into the mirror, the article on Kitty Genovese still crumpled in his hand. His ugliness is the ugliness of all of humanity, a species that produces bastard whoresons like him. That watches while an innocent dies in reach of help.
He cannot bear his reflection and, when he meets his own eyes, a hook catches in his heart. He will make himself a face he can stand.
Their bodies twine together in the grass, Daniel's blunt hands slide over the ridges of Walter's spine as he arches. Daniel's mouth is warm on his, and they kiss like they can only breath from each other's lungs. Around them animals graze unconcerned, this place has always been a refuge for the lost. The sun is bright on their skin, and here they are naked and innocent a long way from the grimy city and its shadows.
Eyes like stars watch them from the shadow of an oak. They are his people, dreamers even when awake, but this is the only mercy he will give them.
Rorschach strips off his coat, still wet with blood, and lies down on the bed. He presses his face, still masked, into the pillow and tries to shut out the world.
'Don'T WoRRy,' says a voice. 'I wAs wITh heR at tHe EnD, I ProMise.'
He looks up and sees a girl, barely adolescent, with rainbow coloured hair and mismatched eyes. The door and window to his apartment are still closed, and he would have heard them open, so she must be a hallucination. Perhaps not surprising after the shock of tonight.
'YoU're miNe nOw too,' she says. 'I kNow iT's reAlLy haRd, cHanGing. ANd yoU'rE noT gooD at prEtenDing YoU doN't kNow tHinGs thaT HuRt. I'm bAd at tHat Too.' She pauses, and he sees his own pain mirrored in her strange eyes. 'Do YoU liKe floWeRs? I HaD aN iMagiNary one oNce.'
She sits on the bed and takes Rorschach's hand. Since she's just a hallucination he doesn't have to hide his weakness for once, and he holds onto her like a drowning man. She's still there when he falls asleep.
A huge man with red hair pushes twenty dollars into Walter's hand.
'I think I'd know if the end of the world was nigh,' he says, grinning at some private joke.
His dog manages to look deeply unimpressed.
Perhaps he could have made another choice, dropped the idea of a mask killer as nothing more than a failed theory. Perhaps Daniel could have missed the connection between pyramids and Veidt. Perhaps Jon, with all his power, could have thought of another way to end it.
But Rorschach pulls off his mask, tears already freezing to his face. In a shadowy garden, a page turns.
It ends in Antarctica, with the sound of wings.

Bird feeders all around the country went untouched at the start of winter as the mild weather meant the birds that normally visited our gardens at that time of year were able to fend much better for themselves.
And then the snow came.
To find out what other unexpected effects this unpredictable winter has had on our wildlife – a surprising influx of owls for instance – Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games are back with this one-off nature special.
And there's a very welcome return to the nest for Kate Humble who, after being absent from Autumnwatch, rejoins the team in the Brecon Beacons.
They reckon winter is the best time of year to see some of our biggest wildlife spectacles, although if you ask me, it's Michaela Strachan who's got the right idea about watching wildlife in winter.
She's off in South Africa, checking out a swallow roost.

This was fun and everyone made a cute lizard from bakable polymer clay. I found a softer clay to use, Premo Sculpy, that really helped in forming the shapes and attaching their parts. In the past the clay has been hard for kids and adults alike to kneed enough to be successful.
Each table was given several chunks of different colored clay and told to make a long body by kneading the clay then rolling it until it was long and skinny on one end. On the other end we pinched the clay around to form a head and made a hole or slit for a tongue. We then made legs and added feet and spots or stripes. Some even have toes or eggs. It was easy to press the body over the legs to make them mold together, Everyone went home with the baking instructions. Making them on foil makes it easy to bake them too.

Ira was always an outcast and felt like no one loved her, that is, until something odd happens to her on a walk one day. She meets a wolf named Kostas who says he's protecting her and her world is changed after that since now someone wants her dead.
Kostas is the Alpha wolf of his pack, and was beginning to feel like he would never find his mate. One day, he sees a girl, a human, and she seems to be the one for him, but a mate who's a human has never happened before.
Can Ira change her life and can Kostas protect her from the man that wants to kill her? Or will Ira just ignore everything and feel alone again?
