Learning strategies have dramatically changed over the past 20 years. The Internet and new technologies have allowed students new ways to learn old material (and new material as well). Here are some modern ways that students learn.
The number one modern way to learn is online learning. Instead of just referencing books in research papers, many students are now referencing websites and online journals. Students also have the ability to search for articles in distinguished academic journals just by searching online databases through their school's library. Many of these articles are available online so the student doesn't even need to leave home to find research materials.
More and more textbooks are being made available electronically. Some publishers are including an electronic copy when a student purchases the hardcopy of the book while others are selling the book electronically, reducing the cost of the book because it doesn't need to be printed or shipped. It also allows the publisher to correct mistakes in the book easily without having to print a new edition.
Online Colleges
Another way modern students are learning is through online colleges and universities. Lectures and class materials are made available online and students are able to complete the course without having to relocate to an area with a college and are able to work around their job schedule, allowing students to earn a bachelor degree at EarnMyDegree.com or other education sites.
With all the new, convenient ways for students to learn, it's no wonder that more and more are going back to school.

11 Stars' Movie Hair Transformations
The celebrity hairdo's we love... and the ones we're glad were wigs!
By Bethany Verdone
Jennifer Aniston
Often, celebrities will go to great lengths to channel the character they're playing in a movie. For example, to play her hilarious role as a sexually aggressive dentist in Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston reportedly disagreed with studio executives over her hair color. "I'm the one who insisted on the dark hair," she recently explained, adding, "There was just no way I could be saying those words and not look somewhat different."
She got her wish and filmed the movie wearing a brunette wig, complete with bangs. Like Jennifer, other actresses have drastically changed their hair to get more into character. See 10 other stars who have undergone similar hair transformations for their craft now.

Miles Morales and Spider-Men
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012With my students First Quarter benchmark testing underway, it's time to focus on some serious comic book writing.
Last time, we talked about the brand new Walking Dead magazine that's coming out in a few weeks. This will coincide with the premiere of Season 3 beginning in October. What's great, though, is that I plan on spending all month on The Walking Dead. Seeing as how it's October and there is going to be a string of death and mayhem over those weeks, I want to focus on the quality horror aspect of entertainment.
So, Walking Dead comics and television shows and the overall feeling of the series as a whole for four weeks.
I can already predict the nightmares.
With that, though, I'll take one small detour to talk about super-heroics and quality writing.
Recently, over the summer, Miles Morales reached his one year anniversary of being alive.
I guess I should explain.
Miles Morales is the new Spider-Man.
Well, let's clear that up a bit further. Miles Morales is the new Spider-Man in a different universe where Spider-Man Peter Parker was still a teenager that was killed in combat. A celebrated hero, Miles was inspired by his death and took up the mantle once he was bitten by a spider.
Miles is a brand new hero. Young. Naïve. Half Mexican/Half African-American. And, in retrospect looking at his first year, he could be my favorite character of all time.
What's great about Miles Morales, created by Marvel Architect and Mastermind Brian Bendis and his artistic collaborator, Italian born artist Sara Pichelli, is that he's a real guy. Well, a "real kid" seems more like a reasonable definition. He's not quite a superhero yet. He's more like a thirteen year old running around in pajamas.
But that's what makes him so fascinating.
A year ago, Marvel took a major chance and decided to end one of their longest running continuous characters in Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the Ultimate Marvel Universe. He died, valiantly, the way almost every other hero in his book predicted that he would.
That's okay, though, because we were given one complete superhero tale with his demise. From Peter's first origin story to his last stand, we have a definitive beginning-middle-end type scenario with "Ultimate Spider-Man".
Then, Miles Morales came along.
What was fan reaction to him? Well, from spending time in the comic shop there seemed to be two general trains of thought when it came to lil' Miles.
#1: I can't believe they are doing this! Marvel should burn forever!
A little intense? Sure.
Comic book fans can be some of the biggest drama queens I know of.
#2: Well, I trust Brian Michael Bendis. Let's see where it goes.
I'll admit that I fell into this category.
See, it's tough for fans of comic books to accept change.
I've mentioned before about an undeserved sense of entitlement that many fans have. They become so invested in the stories or the characters that they come to possess a sense of ownership over the character. I've been guilty of this before.
Ultimate Peter Parker helped me through some incredibly tough times going up through college, etc. He taught my one valuable lesson: No matter how bad life gets, it's never as bad as Peter Parker's.
Joking aside, I was a bit off-put with the introduction of Miles Morales.
Then I actually read the series.
Then I saw what Bendis was truly doing.
He was creating a sincere, true-to-the-core superhero story.
This leads into the story I want to discuss today that I believe shatters a lot of boundaries.
Spider-Menwas a crossover released this summer to coincide with a number of things. Number one being the big summer release of the new "Amazing
Spider-Man" movie. The second being that this year is Spider-Man's 50th anniversary. We've have Spider-Man for 50 years now, yet he doesn't look a day over 26. Or 28. Or something.
So, how does this fit with Miles Morales?
This is the first time that the Ultimate Marvel Universe, the one that's only 10 years old, is going to meet the regular Marvel Universe.
In short, Miles Morales meets Peter Parker.
And worlds are changed forever. Least, that's what they want you to say.
It would be a severe understatement to say many people were more off-put by this series than they were by the announcement of Miles Morales himself.
"What?! Miles Morales meeting Peter Parker? A crossover event? Marvel stinks! I can't believe this?! Etc. Etc. ETC!!"
I'm pretty sure that this imaginary disgruntled fan didn't scream "Etc. ETC!", but after a while buzz on the series began to feel that way.
Then the series was released. And Peter Parker, the Peter Parker that we all know, became trapped in a different New York City. Dimension hopping is nothing new in comic books, but this felt different to him. Peter didn't quite feel like he belonged.
Feeling this way is a small piece of who Peter Parker is, though, and soon a robbery is in progress. Leaping into the fray to stop it, Peter is given grief by almost everyone that he meets that the costume he's wearing is in bad taste.
What Peter Parker comes to find out is that Peter Parker is dead in this world. He died when he was 16 years old, defending the people of this city. And, in his wake, there's a new Spider-Man.
Enter Miles Morales.
Sure, the two get into a bit of skirmish in the middle of the bigger story: How will Peter Parker get home?
Beautifully drawn by Sara Pichelli, I was reminded that Spider-Man can be a lot more than just a guy swinging from webs in the city.
Pichelli wastes no space, beautifully illustrating both Spider-Men with grace and wonder. Sure, they are both agile. But there are distinct differences in their movement. Peter Parker/Spider-Man moves with an experience that only comes from years of practice. Miles is nimble and quick, but it's simple. No real previous practice.
Their fight is cut short, though, seeing as though Spider-Man villain Mysterio appears to confront both sides with the worst of the worst.
It escalates, though, as Peter Parker is forced to confront a world where he died. A world where his Aunt May is left by herself. A place where he must come to terms with his own humanity and fragile existence.
All in good fun, mind you, as author Bendis hits all the necessary beats. Which leads to my point: Good stories are good stories, no matter what.
A select people/"fans" spent all summer complaining about a story that hadn't even been written yet. Why?
Because they've been spurned in the past?
Because they've been told that things will be better than before?
I don't know.
I wish I did, so I could grab this series and rub their lame-predicting noses in it. Because this series had everything running against it.
Yet it still ended up being the best series that I've read in a long time.
All we were given in this five issue mini-summer-series was a meeting of two comic book characters that happen to be the same superhero in two separate universes.
But it was written by an author that loves the characters and their mythos. It was drawn by an artist that has a natural flair for their lifestyles and movement.
Now if only all comic book series and artists could bring the same passion and life to their books.
Or really, any creator that tries to put their "work" out into the world.

- Product Details
Toyota Camry 2007-2011, Custom Style Rear Spoiler by Dawn®. Give the back of your car a high performance look with this Custom Style Rear Spoiler. This spoiler will complement your car's natural lines while clearly conveying the image of speed. It's inexpensive and easy to install, so you'll be getting complements on your car's new dynamic style in no time.
- Custom high performance style
- Made from ABS plastic
- Installs easily with screws and gaskets
- Available painted or unpainted
- Comes with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions
- Backed by a 5-year, 50,000 mile warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
Spoilers are used on the race track to provide downforce at the rear of a car, and in some cases improve aerodynamics, depending on the shape of the car. On some cars the distance between the rear edge of the roof and the tail end is very steep, disrupting the airflow and increasing drag. A properly designed spoiler can, in effect, lengthen the distance or make the slope gentler, preventing airflow separation and reducing drag. Of course, these benefits are usually only seen at speeds far above the legal limit.
On the street, spoilers are installed more for appearance than functionality, and to that purpose the Custom Style Rear Spoiler excels. It will give your car the look of speed even when it's parked. And when you're driving you may even see a performance benefit, if you want to risk those speeding tickets!
This spoiler is made from high quality material such as automotive-grade ABS plastic. It's custom designed for the application, for perfect fit and finish. This spoiler is secured with screws and comes with all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive instructions.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, we strongly encourage you to select the painted option. Our computerized paint mixing system enables us to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.
The Custom Style Rear Spoiler is warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
150.30 233.80Brand: Dawn Part Numbers: Dawn® is a premier manufacturer of spoilers, hood scoops and body side moldings for the automotive aftermarket. The company was founded and began servicing the automotive aftermarket industry in 1973.

defeasible remainder
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A vested remainder that can be destroyed if a specific condition occurs. For example, "To Jorge, unless he gets divorced." Jorge has a vested remainder, but it's also a defeasible remainder because it can be taken away from him if he gets divorced.

HAMILTON, Ont. -- Orlondo Steinauer is going back to Hamilton.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats hired Steinauer as their new defensive co-ordinator Thursday. Steinauer spent four seasons with the CFL club as a defensive back (1997-2000), helping the Ticats earn their last Grey Cup title in '99.
Steinauer spent the last three seasons as a defensive backs coach with the Grey Cup-champion Toronto Argonauts. In 2011, he served as the club's interim defensive co-ordinator for 12 weeks.
"Orlondo is a bright and talented coach that exudes both confidence and a high level of competence, especially in developing and preparing the secondary," Kent Austin, Hamilton's vice-president of football operations, GM and head coach, said in a statement.
"His positive approach to coaching, his endearing personality and his natural leadership abilities will help create an atmosphere for players to produce and enjoy success."
Steinauer played 13 seasons in the CFL, also spending time with Ottawa (1996) and Toronto (2001-'08). He was named a league all-star five times and earned a second Grey Cup title with the Argos in '04.
The players have spoken. See who they think has the best hands, who is the nastiest and much more in the fourth annual CFL on TSN Player Poll. Check the Results...

As mommy's telling me when will Santa give my present early this week, I can't help but get excited to the fact that I'll be getting my Christmas wish list!
I remember, even before the month of December started, mommy's reminding me to be a good girl for Santa to see and eventually give me a gift this Christmas.
Now, one more night to go… I'm so excited I don't even want to sleep! But mommy said, I need to, that's why I'm sleeping early tonight. I'll just wait for mommy to finish reading an article about eyelash growth products from the magazine she borrowed from her cousin, then she'll put me to sleep.
There… it seems mommy finished her reading.
Good night, everyone and a Merry Christmas to all of you!

Pinot Nero has long been grown in certain areas of Italy such as the Valle d'Aosta, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige and Oltrepo' Pavese. The Franciacorta region in Lombardy also has its fair share of Pinot Nero which it uses for sparkling wine. Pinot Nero also grows in Tuscany of all places. One noteworthy wine is from a Tuscan winery called Podere la Fortuna.
Podere la Fortuna is one of 12 wineries that were part of the Castello di Cafaggiolo, a Medici property in the Mugello, an area of Tuscany. Wine was originally produced at La Fortuna in 1465 when it was owned by Lorenzo de Medici.
The vines were replanted in 2001. Different pinot nero clones from Burgundy were planted in six separated areas, each with its own particular micro-climate and soil, in order to make wines which are complementary when blended.
In terms of viticulture and wine-making techniques used at La Fortuna, the grapes are picked by hand and then have to pass a double selection before being lightly pressed. No cultured yeasts are added to the wines. Instead, only natural yeast from the grapes and what is in the cellar are used for fermentation. Generally, the wine ferments for anywhere between 12 to 25 days in large oak barrels before being pressed again lightly and put into barriques where it remains for 12 months. The next phase is a blending of the different lots. Once the blend is made, it spends six more months in cement before clarification and bottling. The wines then spend another 12 months in the bottle before being sold into the market.
The wines are made by Andrea Paoletti. Paoletti and his team are very well respected in Italy and work with many wineries. Paoletti also makes a wine of his own called Rancore, a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Pinot Nero. Paoletti has been experimenting with ancient Tuscan varieties such as Pugnitello at a number of wineries in Tuscany. A fascinating chap, he is a true devotee of Pinot Nero.
One can't write about Pinot Nero in Italy without mentioning Franz Haas, a producer from Trentino-Alto Adige who has produced wonderful Pinot Neros year in and year out since 1880. The wines are true gems that are worth trying for all Pinot Nero lovers. Haas is distributed by Winebow. Their website gives a long and detailed description of the wines and the winery.
A third Pinot Nero worth tasting is that of H.Lun from their Sandbichler line. It was elegant with mushroom notes. The wine was complex, well balanced and a real pleasure to taste.

A record 1.86 million absentee ballots were cast and counted in the 2012 presidential election, and a higher percentage of provisional ballots were counted than in prior presidential elections, according to a report Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted released Wednesday.
During the presidential election, more than 1.26 million voters cast an absentee ballot by mail, while more than 600,000 cast an absentee ballot in person - more than 1.86 million overall, according to Husted's office.
In 2008, the total absentee ballots cast by mail and in person was roughly 1.74 million. According to Husted's office, the increase in absentee voting resulted from two key policy changes implemented for the first time by Husted:
*All properly registered voters received an absentee ballot application in the mail; and
*Uniform days and hours for in-person absentee voting were established statewide, which increased the number of voting hours available to most voters.
Husted's office also issued a report on provisional ballots for the 2012 election.
Of the 208,087 provisional ballots cast, 173,765 (83.5 percent) were counted, up from 166,870 (80 percent) in 2008.
Of the 34,322 provisional ballots rejected this year, the vast majority, 20,119 (58.6 percent), were not eligible to be counted because the person was not registered to vote in Ohio. Nearly 40,000 provisional ballots were rejected in 2008.
To improve Ohio's provisional ballot process, Husted's office said he worked with local elections officials and key interest groups to simplify and streamline the provisional ballot envelope.
In January 2012, the secretary's office rolled out a new provisional ballot envelope that asked voters to provide only what it is required under law - printed name, form of identification and signature.
The official turnout for the 2012 presidential election was 5,632,423. The number of registered voters was 7,987,697.

Nice color combo and feel!
Well I bought this pair of crocs for my boy, 3. It is as comfortable as the classic crocs. Quality wise is as good as the classic. The outstanding thing is that it has nice color combos to the normal classic plain color. Bought at a mid-season sale price! I would rate it 5 starts instead of 4, if the normal price is like the mid season price. Otherwise, I find it a little pricey.

Directional Movement System (Wilder) |
Directional Movement System (Wilder) Please note that we have used historical data. These examples are for educational purposes only. In this issue of the ChartFilter newsletter we'll look at Wilder's Directional Movement system, incorporating three indicators - Directional Movement Index (DMI), the Average Directional Index (ADX), and Parabolic SAR. The DMI system is an effective and frequently used trend indicator. This system was designed by Welles Wilder Jr. and is made up of three lines:
CURRENT TRENDS - Learning from the Indices In this section we'll apply the DMI system to the NASDAQ and DJIA indices. Since DMI is a trend indicator it can provides some useful insights into possible changes in trend. The current short term trend for both the Dow and the NASDAQ is downwards. However there are some signs being given by DMI that this may be changing... let's take a look at the charts. I've charted both the NASDAQ and DJIA and drawn trendlines. Both charts also feature the DMI, ADX and Parabolic SAR indicators. I've used a six month daily chart in the case of the NASDAQ, and a one year daily chart for the DJIA. With DMI/ADX I look for a couple of signals:
Now combine this with Parabolic SAR - with this indicator you have a bullish signal when the parabolic dots switch from above the price line to below. Let's consider the above chart for NASDAQ:
You can see the value of the DMI system above, when you consider that +DMI (blue) dropped below -DMI (red) in July and has basically remained there ever since (other than a brief foray above in early September). Now let's take a look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (Remember this is a one year chart, compared to the six month chart above). Here's what the indicators are telling us:
Once again we have a couple of bullish signals, however with cautions in both cases. So we have the early signs of a possible switch in short term trend for both the NASDAQ and the Dow. Keep an eye on these indicators in the coming days, if the cautions are removed, we could have the early signs of a trend reversal. Remember to consider also the trendlines - a further bullish signal will be given when the top resistance trendline is broken on the upside. In addition, please note the value of ADX in the DJIA chart above. See how valuable it can be in keeping traders out of choppy waters? ADX dropped below 30 and then 20 in April. This was the beginning of a very choppy sideways market for about 4 months. As we've seen in the past, these choppy markets are very difficult to trade successfully. In this case ADX would have done its job by keeping you on the sidelines. When ADX broke above 20 in August, we began to see more strongly trending markets with more significant moves. Once again, let me remind you that ADX signals the strength of the trend - the direction of ADX is not related to the direction of the underlying market. If you have an uptrending ADX line, it is telling you that the market trend is picking up strength - the market itself may be headed downwards or upwards. And here's one more quick tip - when ADX is above 20 or 25 and +DMI is above -DMI you can ignore sell signals given by the Parabolic SAR (when the dots switch from below the price to above). |

Person of interest in Tryon Park homicide being held on parole violation
Posted at: 02/14/2013 12:00 PM | Updated at: 02/14/2013 12:07 PM
There is new information from police about the murder of a RIT adjunct professor in Tryon Park last week.
Police say the person of interest they have in custody is being held on a parole violation.
We do not know who that person is but investigators believe they're responsible for the death of 73-year-old Edline Chun.
Chun's body was found at the bottom of a ravine in Tryon Park last Wednesday. Police say she was the victim of a robbery and was shot and killed.

CAIRNBROOK — The intense rivalry of the Shade Panthers and Shanksville Vikings boys basketball teams took it up a notch Tuesday. The Vikings grabbed a 48-46 road victory with a catch and release shot from Shanksville's Carter Slade on an inbound pass from Jordan Wilt with one second left to beat the previously undefeated Panthers.
Wilt, the senior floor general for the Vikings, played the final five minutes with four fouls. He finished with 10 points.
Slade, a senior forward, grabbed the pass and launched a rainbow shot into the basket in front of a standing-room-only crowd that simultaneously gasped in horror and screamed in delight.
And to think, the play wasn't even designed for him.
"It was meant for the Fleegle kid (Connor) and Carter just stepped into the seam where it was open and hit the shot," head coach Bob Snyder said. "I looked like an Einstein, but I had nothing to do with it. We were going to run it as a tip in to Fleegle and Carter stepped in — Jordan made a nice pass and it luckily went in."
Slade, who finished with a game-high 19 points, added, "It wasn't the play called, but I was open and I took a chance. My heart stopped for a second and I was like 'holy crap.' I was so happy."
Slade missed a shot with seconds left on the clock as the Vikings ran out the clock for the last minute of the game after charging back from a five-point deficit.
Ben Bittner's shot off the rebound was tipped out of bounds by a Panther defender with one second left on the clock.
The Panthers called a timeout to talk defense. When play resumed, the inbound pass was said to have never been touched even though the clock ran out of time. The second was put back on the clock and the Vikings took a timeout to set a play.
"This is a big rivalry," Snyder said. "We have battled back and forth the last couple of years. Coach (Wade) Fyock has a great program here at Shade. But I don't need to pump my kids up for a game like this. We got out of what we wanted to do a couple of times, but when we played like I know we can and executed well, we were successful.

By Mike McCray Staff writer
Traffic whizzes by a nondescript shopping center on Owen Drive as Barry Williams and crew set up to shoot a music video outside Hungry Hooligans, a popular street-wear boutique.
The store is the first location on a bright Sunday afternoon for Williams and rapper Lo Keys as they film a video for Lo Keys' single "Spread My Wings."
Williams, dressed in a tank top and basketball shorts, may not carry himself like a director, but, as many in local music circles can attest to, he's the man for this sort of thing.
Film permits from the city are unnecessary, according to a city spokesman, except on rare occasions when shoots could cause a disturbance or block a road. The result is that Fayetteville has become a Wild West for ambitious local film directors. Local artists have linked their visions with the directors to take full advantage of the city as their stage.
The results have spawned videos that speak to where the artists are from, with Fayetteville neighborhoods, landmarks and even city property as backdrops. Family and friends often join in the filming as extras.
These days, musicians don't necessarily need a record label to get off the ground, so a well-shot video that travels virally can be just the tool to attract a label's attention.
We caught up with three local directors racking up YouTube views with the music videos they're putting together with local talent.
Barry Williams, Barry Williams Films
Notable videos: Lil Dirty Black, "Trap Shoes"; Lo Keys, "Spread My Wings"; Lil' Six, "Six on a Bean"; M.A.C., "Guys Night Out"
See more at youtube.com/ BarryWilliamsFilms.
Barry Williams' love of music drove him to make videos, but the 30-year-old director realizes he went about the process backward.
In the two years he has been filming professionally, Williams has quickly become one of the region's most in-demand videographers. Williams recently decided to get a formal education for his craft and enrolled at Full Sail University.
On this fall day, Lo Keys and Williams are collaborating as they work out the final details for "Spread My Wings" - pointing out marks, discussing last-second wardrobe changes, adjusting lights.
Throughout the process, Keys is ready to get going. It's his 63rd music video, and with more than 300,000 views on his YouTube channel, his visuals have gotten progressively more ambitious.
"It's the love," Williams says, that sets his videos apart. "A lot of people do it just for fame, or they think it's quick money, but love will keep you going. That's my main drive."
In this video, local rappers Cash-a-Lot and Y Not, along with Foxy 99 on-air personality G-Moniy, play masked vandals.
Williams leads a convoy of extras and supporters to the video's second location. It looks remote but is actually nestled in downtown Fayetteville.
Williams has a vision for two shots here: the first on the abandoned train tracks facing downtown, where a blindfolded hostage's fate is decided. The second is later in the day. Lo Keys performs standing on top of a pile of old rail wood while the sun sets behind him.
Unique locations and concepts have been the hallmark of Williams' business thus far. Both are aspects of video production he focuses on and thinks about constantly.
"Just riding around, maybe going to get something to eat, you might be looking the whole time," Williams said. "It doesn't stop."
While Williams is meticulous about his shots, lighting and continuity - telling actors they used a different hand to perform an action in a prior shot - he doesn't seem distracted by the loose atmosphere on set, even joining in on the jokes between shots.
With so many videos under his belt, Williams' clients now come prepared to exhaust whatever ideas he has in mind.
"The more you shoot, the more you learn," Williams said.
Jaiden Frost & Mark Mayr, Vinewood Pictures
Notable videos: Money Flow Gang, "Elvis Walk." They are working on a hip-hopera for T-Pain's newest release, "Stoic."
See more at youtube.com/ vinewoodpicturestv.
Vinewood Pictures co-owner Jaiden Frost said he always has lived his life cinematically. Fittingly, the demo reel for Frost and Mark Mayr's new business venture sees the most iconic building - the Market House - in downtown Fayetteville blown to bits with CGI.
Frost, 23, and Mayr, 17, started Vinewood Pictures in the summer of 2012. Just a few months into their venture, the duo have shot at least two dozen music videos for local artists across the musical spectrum.
Tear-inducing country? Check. Southern rap with accompanying dance craze? Check. Tattooed indie rock? That, too.
Frost and Mayr describe their working relationship as yin and yang. Each began on his own, and they eventually combined forces. Frost had Royal Pictures, where he worked primarily on short films. Mark Mayr Productions was plugging away at music videos and comedy shorts.
Sitting at facing desks in their office, tucked in a building behind Raeford Road, both hold up VHS tapes of their first films and laugh.
"I was in fourth grade when I made this," Mayr says with a laugh, sporting braces and a red hoodie from Seventy-First High School, where he is a senior. "It kind of engulfed me a little bit."
For Frost, the pull of the lens was escapism.
"I hate my life," he says with a straight face and a smile. He said he grew up in an unemotional home and latched on to the emotion found in film.
"Everything I see I indulge, and I get caught up in it," Frost said.
While both shared an early fascination with film, the two couldn't agree on Frost's vision for short films or Mayr's desire to do music videos when forming their joint company
"We were battling back and forth with that when we first started," Frost said. "Now I'm in love with music videos. I figured out that you could tell a story through it."
The duo continue to help artists tell their stories, but they also keep tabs on local producers and videographers doing the same.
"There's no outlet here for videographers. There is none. You kind of have to blaze a trail," Mayr said.
As a result, Mayr said, Fayetteville filmmakers have come up with their own distinct styles that separate them from one another.
"But I think there's a general respect that everyone has for each other," he said. "Just 'cause everyone is like, 'Yeah, we all kind of blazed our own trails, and here we are.' "
Jonathan Mayes & Drew Monger, TrueHeart Drew Productions
Notable videos: Banga Yours Truly, "Half Way Hustler"; Mr. Westside & Terror Dee, "Addict"; Yaayo interviews
See more at youtube.com/ TDProductions1982.
Growing up together in Atlanta, Jonathan Mayes and Drew Monger started off as rappers. Shooting their own videos and trying to make a name for themselves, the two reached a crossroads in their music and film futures.
They chose film.
"We thought about our rap skills, and we thought about our video skills, and we thought our video skills were better," said Monger, 29.
They both landed in Fayetteville after Mayes joined the Army. Their company, TrueHeart Drew Productions, launched in October 2011. Since then, they have carved a niche shooting music and live performance videos for local artists including Banga Yours Truly, Mr. Westside, and the Bottom of the Dale Boyz.
Being former artists made the transition to the other side of the lens easier.
"It helps us to relate to other artists who are wanting to get their video done," said Mayes, 30. "We can understand."
The duo say they try to maintain positive relationships with other video producers in the area, whether it's as simple as chatting on Facebook or lending a hand on the set.
"I think some people might see it as a competition, but us, we just try to stay in our lane and worry about us," Mayes said. "We discovered a new talent basically and just went with it."

Bribery probe targets more city officials
By Yun Suh-young
The prosecution is expanding its probe into the Picity scandal to check if more Seoul City officials had been involved in the Picity development project in southern Seoul. The project is at the center of an escalating corruption scandal as some senior state officials allegedly took bribes from the developer in exchange for peddling influence on its business. The prosecution's move comes as it requested an arrest warrant Thursday for Kang Cheol-won, a former political affairs chief under then-Mayor Oh Se-hoon. Kang is charged with allegations of receiving kickbacks from Lee Dong-yul, a middleman. The prosecution will investigate whether Picity indirectly influenced working-level officials in the licensing of its project through higher-level officials. The prosecution also questions the possibility of higher-level officials offering bribes to the working-level ones. Prosecutors had also requested an arrest warrant Thursday for Park Young-june, former vice minister at the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, for allegedly taking bribes from a middleman in return for facilitating the development project. Prosecution plan to probe into the relationship between the high-level officials as Park and Kang had unusual connections with a middleman who is suspected of handing over the bribes. Former vice-minister Park had worked at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which had the authority to approve the Picity project, from 2005 to 2006. He is suspected of receiving bribes worth 200 million won from Picity while he was at the city government post. Park is alleged to have received money from Lee Jeong-bae, former Picity chief, for helping the company build a logistics complex out of a cargo terminal. Earlier this week, the prosecution also arrested Choi See-joong, former chairman of Korea Communications Commission, for allegedly taking bribes from Picity in exchange for peddling influence for its business. Choi is a close aide of President Lee Myung-bak. Prosecution is also seeing into any allegations of lobbying of Picity officials to Choi Chang-sik, current mayor of Jung-gu, who had worked as an administrative mayor at the Seoul city government. Choi is known to have heard of the project explanation by Picity chief Lee Jeong-bae at his office. |

Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne Take Their Kids on a Wild Ride
Andy Athineos/INF
Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne's whirlwind intrigue has left Down Under – literally!
The newly vigilant couple, who announced their vigilant to marry over Twitter in October, enjoyed rides, games – and some really open PDA! – during a revisit to the Movie World thesis park on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Joined by his 3 immature children, Brooke, Summer and Jackson, and Hurley's son, Damian (dad is film writer Stephen Bing), the casually-clad throng did all as a family section – save for one heart-racing activity.
"Rides too frightful for me-I had to bury my conduct in my 9 year old's shoulder," Hurley Tweeted, before congratulating her cricket-playing fiancé on braving Lethal Weapon and Super-Man-themed drum coasters.
Perhaps Hurley, who separate from businessman Arun Nayar in Jun after 4 years of marriage, had had adequate fad for one year: "Scooby Doo was adequate for me," she declared.

Welcome to discgolfworld.com's custom-selected Starter Set page!
Select from our options at the bottom of this page to individualize your set. On the drop-down lists below, you can either select from our recommended starter discs, select "Let us decide," or you can put in a special request for something that's not on the list already. For this pre-set price you get an Innova DX plastic driver, midrange, and putter, an Innova Starter bag (Red and Blue), and you get a mini "marker" disc.
Our customized Disc Golf Starter Set provides a way for beginners shopping online to get some of the same guidance on our website as they would in our store.
Below are some guidelines to help you understand your options:
Check out our beginners section for general information on the game!
DX plastic means Innova least expensive plastic (good for getting into the game without dropping a lot of $$). DX plastic has a great feel and beats in easily, which makes it increasingly easier to throw.
The driver is the hardest disc to pick out. You may throw one driver 250 feet straight down the middle and with the same throw another driver will fly only 40 feet and way off to the left. Understanding how a disc is meant to fly compared to how it flies for you is the ticket to selecting drivers. If you've never thrown, all you can do is guess. If you've thrown before, you can gauge how your disc was flying before and make a more informed decision. Below is a general guideline to selecting from the drivers that we recommend for new players.
Leopard: If you've never thrown a driver, the Leopard is a good choice. Its lower speed makes it easier to fly the way it was designed: flat and straight with a small turn and fade.
Arch Angel: If you've thrown a driver, and it tends to hook hard in the direction opposite your throwing hand (for backhand throws) the Archangel is a good choice. The Archangel has a very understable rating, which means it will accommodate weaker snaps (the amount of rotation put on a disc) and will fly straight without a lot of spin. However, it also means that strong snaps will, much like a curveball in baseball, cause the disc to turn with the spin and "slice" away from center. This disc has a ton of glide, meaning it will float longer than most other discs. Faster than the Leopard, it has more distance potential, though its higher speed means it needs a slightly faster arm to get it flying. This disc will S-curve very easily (when a disc turns with the rotation and then fades back to land straight.) S-curves tend to equal greater distance as the disc is cutting forward and staying airborne the whole time it turns and fades.
Sidewinder: If you have an athletic background, and you have decent arm speed starting out, the Sidewinder is a superb choice. This disc is very forgiving of weaker snaps but requires moderate arm speed. A great disc for faster throwers to establish technique.
As you grow as a disc golfer, you'll throw your midrange every which way you can imagine. Starting out, essentially you want a midrange that flies straight and flat. These discs are designed to facilitate a beginner's throw to fly flat and straight without strain. Comfort in the hand and upon release plays a huge part in a midrange.
Stingray: The easiest to throw straight. Larger diameter disc than the drivers. Small rim. Will turn with strong throws.
Shark: 2nd easiest to throw. Larger diameter. Easy to throw straight. Won't turn quite as much as the Stingray with strong snaps.
Skeeter: 3rd easiest to throw. Regular diameter. Excellent straight disc. A good snap will send this disc straight with little turn. To turn this disc it must be overpowered.
When it comes to putters, they all fly short and fairly straight. Comfort is the most important factor. Flight characteristics are worth noting, but will not come into effect nearly as much as drivers or midranges as a putter is only in the air for a few seconds.
Sonic: Low-profile grip with a ridge for your thumb. Effortless straight flyer. Will turn smoothly and easily if put on an anhyzer or thrown hard. Low glide. Designed to drop quickly to prevent overthrows.
Wedge: Very small rim. Easy to throw straight. Will turn with a moderate snap.
Aviar: The standard putter. This is by far the most thrown putter on the market. It has the standard disc golf putter lip (similar to a shrunken catch disc). It is designed to be thrown at a slight hyzer or to fly straight with stronger snaps.

The Safest Characters?
Posted 16 April 2012 - 09:19 PM
Carl - If Kirkman had wanted to kill off Carl he would have had him die when he got shot in the face. Carl survived, and it would be unnecessary for Kirkman to kill him so soon after miraculously having his life saved. I also think Carl has very interesting interactions with Paul/Jesus and I am hoping Kirkman explores that more.
I believe Andrea and Rick are safe for right now as well. Killing one of them off at this point is too predictable, so I think they'll both survive.
My final one is a bit of an obscure choice, but I think Eugene isn't going anywhere for awhile. The topic of ammo has been brought up a lot recently, so until Eugene starts making that ammo I believe he is safe as well.
What do you all think?
Posted 17 April 2012 - 04:10 PM
I don't think Rick is safe anymore. Not after Jesus and Carl getting along...!

Agree about Michonne and Maggie. Michonne hasn't had done anything of substance since Morgan died, she's just kind of there. And Maggie hasn't been useful/prominent/likable since the prison, I'm actually surprised she's lived this long. I do hope Sophia lives though, she's underused and it'd be interesting to see more of her take on the zombie apocalypse.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 09:47 PM
Rick and Andrea are safe for now because of their romance. I get the feeling, from reading the letter hacks, that Kirkman really wants to explore that storyline. But I can also see Andrea surviving the comics like Carl. Rick probably won't.
Glenn is safe-ish. But definitely something's gonna happen to Maggie or Sophia. This is why I think the Alexandria community is going to get attacked.
I think Michonne is gonna leave us soon. Same goes for Abraham. Especially if Daryl joins the group. I think Holly is going to keep poisoning him and it'll eventually break him. Kinda like Lori did with Shane on the show.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 10:17 PM
I do hope they keep Sophia alive though, she is a good contrast to Carl. Both have essentially been through the same thing, in fact Sophia could be said to have had it a lot worse than Carl to be honest. Yet she still retains her innocence, something Ben, Billy and now even Carl had/have lost. I'd like to see them explore Sophia a bit more before they off her.

Black powder is relatively easy to make, and a mold could be made to cast the projectiles. Black powder would work in revolvers, bolt action rifles, pump shotguns and such, but wouldn't work with semi-automatics. The real problem is the primer (the button shaped object in the base of the cartridge case). I don't see any practical way to make those, although they are available in any gun shop that carries reloading supplies. But having access to a shop with all the components would make the whole point moot.
All this speculation has got me anxious to know what's going on back at Alexandria.
Posted 18 April 2012 - 07:49 PM
Along with Rick, Carl is definitely safe. I don't see Sophia dying because for Kirkman that would just come off as 'oh she died in the show, I should take their example and kill her off now in the comic (it doesn't seem like something he would do).
Andrea, the more I think about it, seems safe because the whole 'every girl involved with Rick dies' pattern would get redundant (and Kirkman's obviously aware of this).
Michonne, Abraham, Glenn and Maggie are all fair game though.
Posted 19 April 2012 - 09:33 AM
If Maggie or Sophia died nobody would bat an eyelid. And out of the other characters introduced prior to the Alexandria introduction - Abraham, Rostia, Eugene and Gabriel - only Abraham would cause any sort of reaction if he died.
At the very least, one or two of that trio will be kidnapped, leave the group, get seperated from the group or just simply go missing. It could be left ambiguous so that they can return at some point but #100 will end with a fractioning of the 'core' group IMO.

I cannot see Michonne being killed off. I can see her becoming disillusioned with the group and leaving, and going back to wandering with two zombies beside her similar to how she first arrived... but I cannot see her dying. Whether she would be gone for a long time and then return, or whether she'd be gone for good... can't say.
Glenn will die. He is the second longest serving character in the comic. Out of anyone, his death would make the biggest impact among fans and indeed the characters in the book.
Maggie would probably kill herself if Glenn dies, so I cannot see her last much longer. The Greene family have a knack for being brutally murdered as well, so if she doesn't commit suicide, she'll cop an extremely brutal death. Because that guy is sick off chasing her...
Everyone else is fair game, I think. Except Jesus... I can see that dude lasting for a while. If he dies though, I bet Kirkman doesn't turn him into a zombie... until three days have passed. Something along the lines of him dying, not turning so they think his body might hold the key to a cure... and then he comes back in three days. It's stupid but I can just see it happening.

As much as I don't want Carl to be the main character of the books, I think its inevitable that Rick will die before the end of the series, and that Carl will become the main focus. I could see Andrea carrying on the story, but I don't think Kirkman will go that route.
I definitely don't think Glenn will ever be the main focus either, he doesn't have enough depth as a character.

Even though Glenn is a tad 1 dimensional I would still prefer him to Carl lol

I want to think that Michelle will live, because she's my favorite character so far. Same for Sophia, I want her to grow up with Carl! And she's lived through some bad shit with her mom and all... But I guess they all have ^^' Also apart from that she doesn't really ads anything to the story so I don't think she'll last very long.
I think Glenn won't last long either, however sad hat makes me, which means Maggie will probably die too.
I can see Abraham lasting longer than the others from Alexandria, maybe even get together with Andrea and Carl after Rick dies. Who knows?
No say on the others.

At this point, GRIMDARK is just as dangerous as light and fluffy. And I'm not sure I'd want to read a 200 some issue "Rise of the Governor".

It's called 'being realistic' though, isn't it? Kirkman has made it clear that he doesn't care how important a character is, to the audience and or to other characters in the story. To save them for narrative purposes and risk dumping reality out of the window doesn't exactly seem like his style....

Carl got shot in the head. He's still walking around.
Kirkman clearly doesn't have any qualms about sacrificing "realism" for the sake of the narrative. Not that I think people "need to die" for the story to be realistic. Once your survivors have made it past a certain point, you'd expect the attrition rate to drop pretty significantly.
There are only four survivors of Atlanta who are still around. If Kirkman is to kill one off every time he needs to "shake things up", that's pretty damn unsustainable. And I like Michonne, but she's nowhere near as well developed a character as some of the others. Abraham is "Rick's male lieutenant/resident badass who may or may not turn against him" take three, counting Shane. Maggie and Sophia are bit characters at most, and none of the new group have anywhere near enough development to fill the shoes of Atlanta survivors.

On the history of the question of whether natural language is "illogical"A nice essay from Barbara Partee on the origins of formal semantics of natural languages and Montague Grammar. Not directly programming language material, the topic is likely to interest many here. I think several interesting previous discussions related to Montague can be found by searching the archives.

Typesafe Activator You can download Activator here. Truth be told, the web site has too much hype and not enough details for my tastes. Had I not known about some of the technologies behind the Typesafe Platform I wouldn't go past the first page. Hopefully this side of things will be improved. People developing in Scala might want to share their experiences in the comments. John C. Reynolds, 1935-2013Randy Bryant, dean of the school of computer science at CMU, sent out an email saying that John C. Reynolds passed away yesterday. It's probably impossible to overstate the impact that John had on the field of programming languages. But beyond being a great scholar, he was also a generous mentor and a fundamentally decent and kind human being. He will indeed very much be missed.

DYNAMOI was surprised to see that DYNAMO hasn't been mentioned here in the past. DYNAMO (DYNAmic MOdels) was the simulation language used to code the simulations that led to the famous 1972 book The Limits to Growth from The Club of Rome. The language was designed in the late 1950s. It is clear that the language was used in several other places and evolved through several iterations, though I am not sure how extensively it was used. When Stafford Beer was creating Cybersyn for Salvador Allende he used DYNAMO to save time suggesting it was somewhat of a standard tool (this is described in Andrew Pickering's important book The Cybernetic Brain). The language itself is essentially what you'd expect. It is declarative, programs consisting of a set of equations. The equations are zero and first-order difference equations of two kinds: level equations (accumulations) and rate equations (flows). Computation is integration over time. Levels can depend on rates and vice versa with the language automatically handling dependencies and circularities. Code looks like code looked those days: fixed columns, all caps, eight characters identifiers. Here are a few links:
LtU is migrating from DrupalAs many of you know we have been suffering for a long time from the deficiencies of Drupal. We have not updated our infrastructure for a long time. Among the features members have been asking for are better integration with other sites and more social features. In particular, many said they want to be able to mark the posts that they find particularly helpful. I am happy to announce that we have big news! In the coming days we will be migrating LtU from Drupal to Facebook. All the awesome features of Facebook will be automatically available; in particular the "Like" mechanism. You will also be able to share photos with other PLT enthusiasts, re-share their shares etc. Best of all, you will be guaranteed the privacy standards of Facebook. Rest assured, we have not made this decision without considering the alternatives. We studied Google+ but given Google's unprovoked assault on RSS with the decision to discontinue Google Reader we found it unconscionable to go with Google. LtU's twitter feed will have to go, I am afraid, given the relationship between our new home and twitter. Hopefully this issue will be resolved once twitter gives up and is acquired by FB. The LtU feed will have ads, per usual on FB. I know this is somewhat of an inconvenience, but at least the ads you will be served will be personalized[1]. Ehud and the LtU Team. [1] I am assured that ads for dynamically typed and scripting languages will never be served to you again after you mark them as "offensive" once.

Chickenpox marks cures
Usually, dullness of skin is caused by a generally poor diet. If your diet is lacking in a good mix of all nutrients, you will need to supplement it and eat better in order for your skin to improve. Eating more of fresh fruits and vegetables as opposed to junk food and snacks will go a long way towards improving the condition of your skin. You must try to exclude all fatty food from your diet as well, as this generally has a tendency to make skin oily and sallow. You should also try to include a 30 minute routine of exercise everyday. This will also go a long way towards improving the condition of your skin as well as your general health.
For marks left behind by chicken pox, it is important for you to remember that it may not always be possible to get rid of them completely. You can, however, lighten them considerably. One of the most effective ways of doing this is to apply silicone to your scars. This product is available at select pharmacies, so you may have to hunt for it a bit. But it helps considerably in lightening scars. You can also dab on a mixture of orange juice and aloe vera gel topically to your scars and they will lighten considerably.
Chickenpox marks remedies
Chicken pox sores rarely leave permanent marks unless they are infected or if they are scratched. You should always let the scabs dry and fall off naturally. In order to prevent scarring, keep the sores clean by washing them daily with a soft wash-cloth. Add a few leaves of margosa in your bath water to reduce the itching and prevent infection and scarring. Alternately add a few teaspoons of baking soda in the water before bathing. Keep your nails trimmed and do not scratch the scabs. Apply calamine lotion or sandalwood paste on the scabs and later on the scars to ensure that there are no permanent marks.
Chicken pox scars usually fade with time, but there are some simple remedies to lighten them faster. Regular application of honey helps to remove the scars. Vitamin E oil helps to heal the scarred tissues and lightens the scar over time. Black Abil powder also helps to fade the marks. Apply Aloe Vera gel or Cod liver oil to prevent the scars from deepening and becoming permanent. Turmeric is an excellent remedy for scars. After bathing with margosa water, apply a paste of turmeric and sandalwood powder with rose water on the scars. Apply again before sleeping. Remember to keep the affected areas moisturised so that the skin doesn't stretch and the scars do not deepen.
Chicken pox scars are very common if you've had the chicken pox virus. Similar to acne scars, chicken pox scars are pits that remain where the rash once was. If you had chicken pox as a kid, your scars are probably deeper and more prominent if you scratched or picked at the rash. Of course, it's not fair that you have to live with the mistakes you made as an itchy kid! There are plenty of chicken pox scar treatments that can help lessen the appearance of your scars. They could even disappear altogether!
These are some of the at-home chicken pox scar treatments I've heard people use:
If all else fails, or for quick results, you might want to go to a professional for chicken pox scar treatment. Talk to your dermatologist about what the best way to get rid of your chicken pox scars might be. Here are a few options:
Good luck finding the chicken pox scar remedy that works for you!
