Statement from Attorney General Jepsen on
North Stonington Open Space Referendum
Attorney General George Jepsen today issued the following statement on tomorrows local referendum about the ongoing dispute over the former YMCA property, known as Firefly Farms, located at 96 Button Road in North Stonington:
While I respect the referendum process and have no position on the question presented, it is important to clarify that that the open space restriction on 96 Button Road will remain in place unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction rules otherwise.
Despite any statement to the contrary, the outcome of tomorrows referendum will not guarantee that my office or a court will take any particular action or position with respect to this property. Further, any suggestion that my office has reached any agreement about future use of this property is simply false.
I have made no commitment to support a court action to remove or modify the current land use restrictions. In fact, the transaction described in the referendum has not yet been presented to my office for review.
I take very seriously my responsibility to protect the publics interest in conservation restrictions and will carefully scrutinize any proposal before taking a position in court.

Box Score
Box Score (PDF)
I'm really starting to get pissed with our so called "fanbase" for not showing up for Senior Night. This group of guys has brought us so many great games over the course of the years, and without the help of Errick Peck, the 27-4 Regular Season record in 09-10 would have been very hard to achieve. If these people really support the program, Newman would have been packed on Saturday Night. It ticks me off to know that next year, Cornell will probably be dominating the Ivies, and the arena will only be half-full because all the students are only content with Instant gratification. Will someone please tell me why the entire fanbase gets scared off after a couple down years? Here's what I see happening next year: Cornell finishes 26-5 but they finish last in the Ivies in attendance. It's time to take the measure neccesary to show the rest of the league that Cornell does not have a Fair Weather fanbase.

Shooter Jennings Biography
Waylon Albright Jennings, 19 May 1979, USA. The son of American country legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, Shooter was given his unusual nickname by his father after he had watched his baby son pee all over a nurse. Shooters early years were spent on the road with his parents, and by his teenage years he had already learned to play drums, piano and guitar and made a few guest appearances with Waylons band. In his late teens he made his way to Los Angeles, where he formed Stargunn and spent several years playing hard-nosed southern rock to a large local fanbase.
Yearning to return to his country roots, Jennings pulled the plug on Stargunn in 2003 and spent some time in New York and Los Angeles plying his trade as a country singer-songwriter. He formed a new band, the 357s, and recorded his debut album for the Universal South label. Put The O Back In Country was warmly received by the American music press as a rocking, highly melodic update of Waylons outlaw country sound. The album reached the country Top 30 and generated the hit single 4th Of July (featuring George Jones). Later in the year Jennings filmed his movie debut, portraying his father in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line. His second album, Electric Rodeo, was another critical and commercial success, reaching the country Top 20 and mainstream Top 100 in summer 2006.

Views: 1854
I'm not totally convinced that all bad CVs come from bad testers. I suspect that some of it may be due to people just being very bad at writing CVs that tell people what they do well - and I think that testing skills are difficult to describe well in a conventional CV.
I had to explain recently to someone who was helping with our recruitment that it's virtually impossible to filter successfully by keyword for a *good* tester CV. If you're looking for critical thinking skills, a CV isn't a great place to display them, and they certainly aren't going to be indicated by use of particular keywords.
There's a bit in Leo Marks "Between Silk and Cyanide" that I always think of - he was head of communications for the Special Operations Executive during World War II, and this is him having a bit of difficulty trying to explain how to pick suitable new recruits for the code-breaking work they did:
"Captain Henderson then joined in the indictment, stressing that I'd turned down twenty FANYs without giving her my reasons, and still hadn't listed the attributes her interviewers should look out for.
The truth was, I didn't know myself.
I was wary of saying that if a girl admitted she loved music and crossword puzzles but was hopeless at arithmetic we could usually repair the damage a maths teacher had done, and turn her into a coder. They'd simply ask new candidates, 'Do you like music and crossword puzzles and are you bad at arithmetic?' and leave it at that. Nor did I relish the tedium of explaining how to measure a potential WOK-maker's threshold of boredom. I also shirked trying to define the instinct which said, 'This girl can do it.'"
Agreed, which is why I had many, many dreadful telephone interviews....
Here is a very relevant tweet from Scott Barber with a link to a slideshow with the primary point that there is currently a core few population of software testers with the technical skills necessary for performance and security testing. It puts this in the context of the overall history of software testing, emphasising the need for better training.
Very interesting, I'd have thought just from a numbers point of view, developers would have been more sought after.
Been monitoring the thread with interest. Hope the good news lasts! Did anybody catch the "Test is Dead" keynote from GTAC 2011? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1jWe5rOu3g
Along with good rebuttals from Ben Kelly and Scott Barber
Excellent - thanks for those Phil. The keynote certainly made for depressing viewing. The rebuttals must have passed me by while I was preparing my contingency plan(s)!
See you at SkillsMatter next week! ;-)
Geez, I post a piece of information and ask a simple question, and get back more information, thoughtful analysis, insightful experiences, and useful advice. Good deal. :)
- Darren, I do not know exactly how they tabulated these results, but I have a suspicion that the "software tester" statistics may be tainted by listings for software engineers where the job description includes involvement in the test process.
- Anna, great points. The ability to sell yourself in an interview is a skill in itself, not necessarily related to your ability to do the job. Frankly, I think I give an underwhelming interview. I got my first job in software test largely based on a referral from a former colleague. Management relied heavily on referrals to get people with a track record of achievement.
- And Jeff, you know what I could have really used in that first testing job? Some good test training. But I, and my management, were totally focused on learning the products and new technologies. It was years before I recognized that test is a discipline that can be studied and a skill that can be improved. I will try to bring some of that into my present situation.
And now I have homework - a Selenium preview, a slideshow, and a keynote (with rebuttals).

Murrysville considers Amish contractors to trim iconic tree sign
Goats were a no-go, and now Murrysville officials are considering turning to the Amish to help tame the community's iconic tree sign visible from Route 22.
The 850-foot sign — which spells Murrysville in capital letters with spruce trees — has become so overgrown that several letters are indistinguishable. Murrysville officials want the topiary to return to top shape within the next year.
"We believe if it's going to stay as a tree sign, it needs some work done," said Diane Heming, finance director for Murrysville.
Planted in the early 1930s by Boy Scouts, the sign made entirely of arborvitae has grown to more than 150 feet tall. The sign has been featured in the "Guinness Book of World Records" and on Ripley's Believe it or Not. At one time, it was touted as the largest arboreal sign in the world.
For nearly 40 years, the Sportsmen and Landowners Alliance of Murrysville has been responsible for maintenance on the trees. But the group's membership has aged, said Carl Patty, the group's president, and has had difficulty finding volunteers to navigate the steep ground.
"We need some younger blood, because that's a very steep hill and a large expanse of ground," Patty said.
Murrysville Chief Administrator Jim Morrison said he has been unable to reach a North Hills goat purveyor who recently let a gaggle of goats loose along West Penn Park in the Polish Hill section of Pittsburgh, to chomp through invasive plants.
"The goats were cheap, but there were a lot of logistics to keep them on the hillside," he said. "Amish contractors seem like a logical choice."
But there's one catch so far, Patty said. The Amish workers do not own power tools. Due to the group's spiritual and cultural practices, many members of the Amish community do not use electricity or gas-powered machines.
Patty said his group has some power tools that the workers could use during their slow work season in October and November.
The Amish contractors would trim the trees and clear overgrown brush.
Morrison said he has reservations about trimming the trees, but agreed something needs to be done.
The municipality allocates $2,500 annually for maintenance of the monstrous sign. Morrison plans to earmark $10,000 from the 2015 capital budget as a backup plan in case the Amish workers don't end up trimming the sign.

Firefighters are battling a blaze at a Newcastle home that may have been sparked by a lightning strike as thunderstorms and heavy rain swept over the area on Friday morning.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of the mid north coast and Hunter forecast districts, where residents have been told to expect large hailstones, heavy rain and damaging wind early on Friday.
A Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said firefighters were called to a blaze at a home in Seaham Street in Holmesville, a suburb of Newcastle, about 7.30am on Friday.
Initial investigations suggested the fire may have been started by a lightning strike, however that cause had not been confirmed, the spokesman said.
"It is an electrical fire, but we are just trying to extent of damage. It hasn't been confirmed whether it was a lightning strike," he said.
There were no initial reports of injuries.
Weatherzone meteorologist Max Gonzalez said the storms began in the Newcastle area about 5am on Friday, and had been moving slowly towards the coast.
"They're very slow moving, taking about half an hour or so to move on," he said.
Locations expected be worst affected include Newcastle, Cessnock, Maitland, Port Macquarie and Taree.
In the hour to 7.45am on Friday, 76 millimetres of rain was recorded at the small town of Nabiac, on the mid north coast, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
At 7.55 am, severe thunderstorms were detected on weather radars near Dora Creek and Lake Macquarie.
They were forecast to hit Dooralong, Boolaroo and Warners Bay by 8.25 am and Belmont, Charlestown and Swansea by 8.55 am.
The State Emergency Service advised people to keep clear of creeks and storm drains, and to avoid walking, riding or driving through flood water.
Showers also drenched a large part of Sydney on Friday morning, but they largely fell after Anzac Day dawn services around the city.
Showers in Sydney are expected throughout the day, easing in the afternoon before clearing during the evening.
A top of 22 degrees is forecast in the city and 21 degrees in the west.

I just sent Dwayne a get-well letter.
I'm glad he seems to be recovering well, poor guy.
Just caught that on the news Just awful... I wish him the best and hope he has a speedy recovery.
The new website is about as ugly as Paris Hilton. Put the blue back!
House will be in rough shape for a bit.
Obviously he is done for the season. They removed his spleen, but he made it ok out of surgery.
Hopefully he has no further complications and has a speedy recovery.

Yeah, this has gotten worse. I made a pretty tasteless comment, well I guess it wasn't that bad but I didn't realize how grave the situation really was. Get well soon, House, and I hope you can return to your great playing form!
I bleed orange and blue!!!
Rest in peace, Darrent.

AURORA, Colo. (AP) -- Denver Broncos offensive lineman Dwayne Carswell was in critical but stable condition with an excellent prognosis Thursday after he was involved in an accident that ripped the driver's side door off his car while on his way to team headquarters.
The 12-year veteran, known by his teammates as ``House,'' fractured multiple ribs, ruptured his diaphragm and spleen and sustained internal injuries. More in the link above.
House...we pray that you have a speedy recovery and that you will be able to be on the sidelines motivating your team-mates through the playoffs enroute to the superbowl. You deserve your 3rd ring.
God bless you Dwayne and I wish you a full recovery!
could we get some of these fan messages sent to dwayne's bed for when he's ready to read them?
Who's it gonna be...
Damn, that does suck that Dwayne's got into an accident like that though. Car accidents are bad, bad voodoo...
If I was coach, I'd take Cedric Cobbs, just for fun and not for any purpose in particular...
IF you mean replace him simply by taking his spot on the active roster, i would have to vote for David Terrell. The man has had long enough to learn the playbook, lets get him n the field. No, he wont be the redzone force (jacksonville game) house was, but he might provide a spark for our redzone scoring. As for simply a 53-man roster spot for O-line depth, i have no idea.
Superintendent Chalmers: "Thank the Lord"? That sounded like a prayer. A prayer in a public school. God has no place within these walls, just like facts don't have a place within an organized religion."
My guess is it'll be Erik Pears. Terrell is on the 53 man roster, but hasn't been active for a game yet. We'll find out this Sunday.

Hrithik Roshan's superhero flick, Krrish 3, which was set for a November 4 release, is now rescheduled to three days prior. The makers first fixed the release date on November 3, moving it to November 4 and now, finally settling for a November 1 release. So now, Krrish 3, like most movies, will hit theaters on a Friday, instead of a Sunday or a Monday, thereby giving a sigh of relief to all the Krrish fans.
Director Rakesh Roshan passed on the confirmed date to all his distributors and exhibitors over the weekend. Apparently, this decision was made on the suggestion of his distributors, exhibitors and even overseas associates.
Confirms Rakesh Roshan, "This year, Dhanteras, the first day of Diwali, is on November 1. And it's a holiday for most people. My distributors and exhibitors, even those overseas, wondered why I was not making use of the holidays. Fortunately or unfortunately, it's for the first time in many years that Diwali and Lakshmi Puja are falling on Sunday. No one knows the repercussions of a pre-Diwali release. But since everyone is keen on a Friday release, I'll be releasing Krrish 3 on November 1."
Also trade analyst Komal Nahta tweeted, confirming the release date, "Very right decision taken by Rakesh Roshan. #Krrish3 will hit screens on Friday (Nov. 1), AND NOT Monday (Nov. 4) as originally planned."
Krrish 3 is directed by Rakesh Roshan and stars Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and Kangna Ranaut.

After one reading of this book, Juliet ran out of the house one morning and exclaimed, "It's spring!"
This book celebrates the beauty of spring: snow melting, creeks flowing, puddle splashing, leaf buds, fresh air, bugs, robins cheeping, baby ducks, daffodils, gardens, peepers, and bullfrogs, and dandelions.
We have both been excited for spring this year after being cooped up all winter. Juliet is fond of saying to me, "what a beautiful spring garden we have, mommy." She has learned the names of a lot of flowers and REALLY loves finding earthworms to put on her "hook" (finger). This book helps amp your child up even more for the new season.
Activity Ideas: (courtesy of linda glaser, found at the back of the book)
• Take the hair out of your hairbrush and put it outside for a bird to use to line its nest.
• Watch newly hatched birds in their nest.
• Put up a bird feeder and feed the birds.
• Listen to birds singing. Try to identify them by their calls.
• Collect some earthworms. (juliet's favorite) Put them in a large jar with moist, not wet, dirt. Wrap black construction paper around the jar. Every day, unwrap the black paper and watch the earthworms tunneling. After a few days, put the earthworms back outside.

vCard4J is a complete toolkit to manipulate vCards (RFC 2426) in Java. It contains a parser to read vCard files. It also includes a compiler to extend the library. vCard types are defined in a XML file, making it easy to add custom types. It also contains XSLTs to convert the internal DOM structure into vCards 3.0, xHTML, or other formats.
X2U (XML to user) is an XML editor that does not force users to read XML markup. Instead, users fill out simple Web forms, which are automatically derived from XML models. The XML model provides the XML structure and an interface. It accepts an XML document, an XML Schema, a DTD (Document Type Definition), or an XML form (XForms), and requires only a Web browser to use.
Lantern is a tool that lets users load XML documents and test XPath expressions. It produces an immediate graphical result where selected and context nodes are highlighted, and displays the XML document in the same format as it is stored in the file (rather than as an ugly tree widget). It is aware of name spaces and allows the user to set a context node to test expressions related to it.
Treebeard is an XSLT IDE that allows you to load an XML file and an XSLT file (from the Web or from the local file system), edit either file, and then perform transformations. Some features include syntax highlighting, a pluggable XSLT transformer, a template browser, SAX transformations (so you can transform large files - 4MB tested), regular expression find, and displaying transformation results in HTML or plain text.
jSimpleX is a visual XSL transformation tool. It uses an XML (source) file and an XSL/XSLT (stylesheet) file to produce a new (output) document. The output can be in a variety of formats, such as XML or HTML. It provides a mechanism for loading, editing, and saving each of the three documents. It also provides a preview tab for XML and HTML (version 3.2) documents. It also supports a commandline mode and an Ant task for automated builds.
XPcm is a flexible PHP based content management framework which allows you to easily create and manage your websites. XML and XSLT are used for dynamic page creation and search-engine friendly content rendering. It features Workflows, task management, a WYSIWYG editor, user and group/role management with permission-inheritance, a media-database, module and plug-in support, flexible caching, and a fully browser-based back office.
A PHP class to authorize and access APIs using OAuth 1.0, 1.0a, and OAuth 2.0.

I make an effort to be a well-rounded person. I would describe myself as a hybrid nerd/jock. I make puns frequently, and I apologize for none of them. I stay active, am currently in a massage therapy program, am a judge for and participated in a modeling competition.
I didn't really believe in the Meyers-Briggs test (and I am still skeptical), but ESFP feels pretty accurate so I'm going to include it
What I do isn't as important to me as who I do it with. I think I'm a pretty mellow guy, I can get along with most people I think. So hit me up if you'd like to chat or meet up sometime!
Oh, and I think I'm smoother than I probably am. Whenever I talk to someone, I always have these cheesy lines in my head. I almost never use them (and when I do it's usually in jest) so as not to be "that guy". Very self conscious to not be the person I loathed in high school. But if you want me to turn on the charm ("charm") then tell me to go for it :P
But my main specialty is embarrassing myself.
Movies: Clue, Big Fish, Spirited Away, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Mean Girls, Starship Troopers, Cloud Atlas, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Scott Pilgrim, Juno, Hard Candy, Inception
Shows: America's Next Top Model, Breaking Bad, Survivor, Rupaul's Drag Race, Dexter
Food: I have three food dislikes. Two are straight forward. I dislike mushrooms and gelatin based products (jello, gummy worms, gummy bears, etc). The last is weird. I like spaghetti, angel hair and vermicelli. Most other pastas I can't eat. It's a texture thing or something. No lasagna, macaroni, penne, udon, etc.
1) internet
2) singing
3) sex/porn+masturbation (if you don't like this and say it's three things, then call it "getting off")
4) staying active...either through the gym or sports or just jogging around with my sister
5) taking self portraits and then posting them online so people tell me I'm handsome.
6) Monday Night games night. Beating up on my friends at board games or killing their characters as Dungeon Master.
If someone asks me whether I'm masculine or feminine, I have some choices. I can say that I'm masculine, which is true enough. The meaning of masculinity has been distorted a bit, I feel. When someone says they're masculine or "straight acting" (lol...), I get the feeling that what they're trying to say is that they're "macho". Masculine for me doesn't equal macho.
I'm just myself. I'm a guy, I don't feel like my personality is very flamboyant. There's nothing wrong with feminine guys though, and I would definitely smooch a handsome one. To say I'm straight acting is stupid. I'm very much a gay guy. I act like a gay guy...because however I carry myself, I'm still gay.
I feel like I'm talking in circles now...clearly eloquence isn't my forte.
Some thoughts about monogamy:
- A majority of people need/want it.
- Some people don't.
I don't personally need my partner to be "faithful" in the traditional sense. What I need is my partner to practice safe sex, and (should we agree on it) to talk about having sex outside our relationship beforehand. I get some pangs of jealousy, but I can deal with jealousy. What I want out of a relationship is someone I can love, and trust, and be free with. Sleep next to. Wake up next to. I want to spend my time with someone because that's who I want most to be with. If I want to spend an evening away from my partner, or if my partner wants to spend an evening away from me, I don't feel like that depreciates how we feel about one another. I want my love and relationship to be unrestricted.
I don't expect most people to agree with that, though.
- I've never been drunk, smoked weed, or done illegal drugs
- I'm only out to a few close friends (...and OKCupid, I guess)
- I lost a hundred pounds after highschool
The first things I do when I visit a profile are
1) Look at your pictures
2) Read your Self-Summary
3) Look at your OKCupid stats
4) Check your answers to see if you've answered what sexual position you prefer in bed.
Based on those 4 steps, I generally decide whether I care enough to read the rest of your profile.

First Thing: Warning this one ..is maybe a bit too extreme
Felix and George are street artists. With selfmade wooden puppets they present little
plays on the road. People love it. A different
kind of art, refreshing! Actually they made good money with their work. Some think its scary and thats why they love it. The others
see it as a tribute to the old ways of entertainment. A pretty nice culture shock.
A play goes usually like this:They have a
background drawn on a huge paperback. A little
CD Player with classical music and both artists
have their individual puppets.The plays tell
storys about emotional adventures in real life. Love,friendship,hate,anger.
The newest story is about two people fighting
all the time. They are rivals. Rivals in love.
A beautiful girl enchanted both men with her
shiny eyes. They admire her beauty with all
their heart…. and try to show it to her.
Invites for dinner…..poems….smalltalk.
Trouble is…she rejects them…She squeezes
their hearts into i little portion mud.
With foul mouthed language , she destroys
their vision of a delightful future. But they
are still trying..Even though she made it
very clear…the protagonists continue with
their mission…but who will win her attention?
This new play goes for week now.. every day
point three o clock to five o clock.A suspense
loaded soap opera in a puppet version. Peds
enjoy this spectacular ,because George and Felix show so much respect and will in their
unusual talent. A convincing demonstration of
voice acting.
One day the duo announced the "Final Part".
This friday will be the last part and then
our show will be over once and for all.
Curiosity spreads around the city. Everone
wants to know how the show will end.Who
gets the girl? Or will the girl change?
Two tough questions. Felix and George enjoy
their fame. They are little stars in the little city. Have a continued number count of fans. The base grows and grows each day. But actually Felix and George haven't got what they wanted at all costs….yet….and that is Angela.
Angela is a beautiful creature. She's smart ,
nice and gourges. Felix and George are in love
with her since they came to school. Felix never dared to talk to her. He is totally shy
when it comes to women….and so does George. They hide there wishes in their fantasy. A fantasy which evolves to a puppet
play. Maybe they could get her attention
by turning there feelings into a romantic
weird but extraodinary script.
While they're peforming the penultimate
part of their play , Felix recognizes that
Angela is approaching. She talks with
someone on the phone. Looks like Angela's
ignoring their work. With loud noises they
try to draw her attention, but she just walks
through the crowd and disappears in the next
street.Depressed as they are, Felix and George
finish the play.
Thursday night.
Angela is at a party in a bar with a couple of friends.Her best friend Lilly is there with her
boyfriend and also Angelas boyfriend Charles
is there. Angela is sitting in the corner , nipping on her wodka-ale and watches the dark street through the window. It looks like
two guys are standing on the street ,watching her. Watching her for a while. Who are they?
She thinks. But then her concentration gets lost ,cause of a glass which was broken by some idiot drunk. She looks automaticlly at the
noise and then she returns her eyes to the point at the window….the to men are gone.
Confusing. Who were they? she thinks. But
her fear stopps quickly cause Charles
and Lilly came to her with another pair of drinks….but deep in minde she thinks of
the two men standing in the street…looking
into the bar from far away..
It's knocking of time. The bartender wants every customer to finish their drinks so he
can start cleaning up the place.Again Angelas
friends are gone. Charles and Lilly disappeared.Dammit! says Angela…I wanna go
home…where are they?
The next ten minutes all the other customers already left the bar. Only Angela sits on
her chair in the corner….waiting for the othes to join the way back. But Charles and Lilly are still gone. The bartender tries to be nice and says: Honey I'm sorry but you have to leave now…im closing now."
"Ok" Angela says.She goes outside and pulls a phone out of her bag and calls Charles.
"Charles where the hell are you?"…Only mailbox.No one answered.
"Fuck this shit" I'm goin home alone! She says murmuring to herself.
The streets are empty at this time.Pretty dark everywhere except the points where bonnets shine a conus of light…but they are rare.
While she is walking, she recognizes only her
own loud steps….giving an echo in every narrow street.An uncomfortable feeling of lonelyness.In the next crossroad she passes
the place where George and Felix are always
presenting their plays. She walks slowley to
watch this place. This place is weird…her
stomach hurts..
Suddenly ….an unkown voice says:
"Angela where are you going?"
Angela turned around quickly "Who said that?"
"Me" the unknown voice answered. From the
dark street comes a figure. It steps into one
of the light conuses. It is Felix.
"Felix?" She says.."What are you doing here?…I mean it is …after midnight…"
Felix grins and says "I could ask you the same
Angela was confused but knows it's just Felix.
A guy she knows for about five years.
"Well I am only walking home…I met some friends in the bar you know?"
Felix continues his ..kind of scary grin.
"Ahhh ok….friends I see…..Hey…why didn't you have watched any of our puppet shows?"
Angela is reliefed…it's just simple conversation. She was afraid that someone
would attack her. But she could not believe
that Felix is dangerous……she is wrong.
"You know I am not that into Puppet Shows…
I think their scary"
Felix comes a step closer
"Scary? Their not scary…their just wooden copy of a human being…you can do so much
with them..I mean is that not interesting?"
Angela does not want to talk with Felix anymore so she tries to wimp him off.
"Well I think their scary…nevermind…I need
to go see ya"
Felix stops his grin…and his voice gets a bit angry.
"Hey …Why don't you watch a show now..
I can show you that puppets aren't that scary"
Angela turns around again and gets angry as well:
"Hey …I want to sleep so please stop bugging me ok? I am not interested in puppets…good night!"
"Angela wait" Felix yells
"Felix shut up and let me go!" She grunts
"It's important!" he yells again
"What?" She screams at him
"I….love you…" He whisperes , I really do!"
"……..you're creepy …stay away from me"
She whisperes again…and her fear comes again. The fact that Felix is an harmless Dude
" I will go home now…and you stop talking to me" She says and turns around and goes out of
the light conus right into the dark.
Then in the dark another unkown voice appeares.
"Hello Angela"….but Angela doesn't answer.
A blurred view. It looks like a …cellar?
Yes a huge cellar.
"She wakes up"
"Yep..it's time to prepare ourselfs"
Angela is tied to a chair…in her mouth
is something…She is gagged….She can't see
yet…that chloroform knocked her out pretty good.
"Give her a slap"
Angela feels a painful beat on the left side of her head. Her consciousness rises again. She
identifies that one voice belongs to Felix…the
other one was the last voice she heard before she passed out. She opens her eyes and distiguishes….the other guy was George.
She tries to scream..but the black ball in her
mouth refuses any word from her tounge. She
only gives some weird noises. Propably the worst fear she ever felt.
"Ahh there you are my dear" Felix says." We
prepared something just for you"
"Thats tight" George fits in "It is called…The Final Part…I know you did not watch the other parts but that's ok…This part will blow
your mind I promise."
Felix comes close to her face and whisperes:
"We did this all for you."
Tears are running down Angelas cheeks. She mumbles something..but no one can understand what she tries to say. Felix and George don't care anyway.They disappear
in the dark room. She sits in the dark …and
has no idea what these two psychos will do to her. Then…The light goes on. A spotlight…
..a stage…and a beautiful drawn background.
Music starts playing….classical music. And a loud voice screams:
Angela screams when she sees the "puppets"
which are being used in this play.
A women and a man are dancing together.
Charles and Lillys corpse…Dismembered with
a saw and put together with wire again so the mechanics of a doll are more presenting. The
movements make a crunchy, flesh, wet
noise.The heads of the corpse are almost torn
of…they weren't put together that good….an
the bodies are still bleeding bad.The dresses
are soaked in red dark juice.
Then the narrators George and Felix start the show.
"My name is Charles…the boyfriend of the lovely person Angela"
"My name is Lilly….I am Angelas best friend"
The sickest thing is that they pricked a fish hook with wire into the corpses chins..when
they pull the strings…it looks like they were
Angela is crying…she shakes the chair and wants to free herself…without any chance..
she is bound.
"Hey Lilly..where is Angela?"
"She is there in the corner..sitting alone"
"Oh…hmm..lets join her"
"Wait..wait…first..lets have a drink ok? On me"
"But why can't we go to Angela?"
"She is kind of annyoing right now…she
destroys the wonderful atmosphere you know?"
"But she is your best friend ..if shes in trouble
won't you help her?"
"Sure…but first lets have drink…Come on
one drink and then we join Angela"
Then the lights are off
"OH OH …looks like Lilly was not the best
friend Angela alwayes dreamed of…looks like
she was a bitch"
"You're right but what about Charles..He was
a pretty nice dude if you ask me"
"Well lets see what happens"
The light are on again…this time…both corpses are completely nude.Placed in a doggystyle position.
"Wow…Looks like Charles is a complete Jerk aswell…look how he is fucking her ass"
"Dammit…youre right….why does Angela always pick the wrong persons..They alwayes cheat on her? There are
actually two guys who would do anything for her..but she rejects them….but now…
she overthinks her opinion I think"
"Yeah I guess youre right..Two guys…one
girl….But the big question is…"
The corpses are being pulled up. Charles
corpse was pulled so hard that his head broke
off and fell on the stage with a bloody fountain.
Felix and George are coming on stage. Felix
has a saw in his hand and George alot of wire
and a fishing hook.
Felix grins again and yells: "The big question is…who will get the girl?"
They come closer to Angela …she is sweating and crying and also pissed herself.
George gets near her ear and says" Yes…the final of the final who will get the girl?…Who will have the ability to play with you..or better…..play you?
He takes the black ball out of Angelas mouth.
She pukes on the floor and screams:
"You will never get me…kill me…kill meheheheeee..You bastards…you fucking bastards"
In his face evolves an evil grin. George says:
"Thats not what we wanted to hear…I think
we will have to change the script a bit."He
takes the hook and pricks it into her chin while Felix starts cutting of her limbs. While gallons of blood are spraying into Felix face he happily says:The Final will be like how we want it!
Angelas human puppet hangs from the ceiling.
….It is Friay….
Ready to play the last scene of the final part.

Pope Francis channeled the late, great Henri de Lubac today, saying at his morning Mass, "It's absurd to claim that we love Christ without the Church." DeLubac famously asked, "What would I know of Him but for Her?" We are not Christians because we happen to have been born in a place where there were Bibles laying about. And, our baptism invites friendship with Jesus by means of incorporating us into the Body of Christ, the Church. It is not "me and Jesus." Indeed, it can never be me and Jesus unless it is first me, a member of the Church, and Jesus. This key point of departure for Christian discipleship, to say nothing of all Catholic theology, does not mean we abandon our critical faculties. It does not require us to endorse everything that is said by any and all of the Church's ministers. It does mean that if we think we can love Christ and also hate the Church, we have deceived ourselves. It does mean that we can never let our own opinions trump the teaching of the Church. It does mean, too, that as members of the Body of Christ, we have a responsibility to bring our gifts and talents to the service of the Church, even when some officials in the Church seem not to want them! When Pope Francis says "I am a son of the Church," he is telling us something about the relationship a Christian should have to the Church, and he is telling the leaders of the Church the same thing too.

BOSTON — Throughout their remarkable run, the Rays have had to overcome their share of injuries, with ace Scott Kazmir, catcher Dioner Navarro and closer Troy Percival among the many to spend time on the disabled list.
On Wednesday, they found out they will have to play for at least a few weeks without their cleanup hitter and everyday first baseman.
Carlos Pena was placed on the 15-day DL with a fractured left index finger, an injury suffered Tuesday when he was hit by a pitch in the first inning by Justin Masterson. Pena, 30, continued to play through sometimes "excruciating" pain, adding a two-run homer and double.
After the game, a preliminary exam revealed no break, but a follow-up Wednesday morning revealed a V-shaped crack below his first knuckle. Pena said it should heal quickly, but he will be re-evaluated after two weeks.
OF Justin Ruggiano was called up from Triple-A Durham to fill the roster spot.
"I'm extremely heartbroken," Pena said. "I kept on telling them, Joe (Maddon) and the guys, I kept on telling them that if I get the swelling down, I can go. I can deal with the pain. But it's just not smart, when you've got the experts' opinion. … What are you going to do?"
What the Rays plan to do minus Pena — their team leader in home runs (11) and RBIs (35) — is use left-handed-hitting Eric Hinske and switch-hitting Willy Aybar at first, while using a variety of players — on Wednesday, it was Cliff Floyd — in the cleanup spot.
Pena, coming off a career year in 2007 (46 homers, 121 RBIs), has been hot and cold at the plate this season, hitting .227 with an AL-high 71 strikeouts. But it has been Pena's near-flawless performance in the field, including a few game-saving plays, that the Rays may miss the most.
"We understand we have to overcome adversity to become a championship team," Pena said. "We have all the necessary tools, including the most important one, which is character. This is a team, not a one-player scene here. My absence should have no effect on how we go."
UP AND DOWN: Ruggiano, who began his third stint with the club this season when he entered Wednesday's game in the eighth in centerfield after B.J. Upton was ejected for arguing a third strike call, was chosen to fill Pena's roster spot partly because he adds another right-handed bat to the lineup, Maddon said. As the Rays continue to struggle against lefties (hitting .241), Ruggiano was hitting well at Triple A (.325, five homers, 27 RBI in 33 games). Maddon said he would like to keep a consistent lineup against righties (likely Floyd at DH, Hinske at first and Gabe Gross in rightfield), and lefties (Aybar at first, Jonny Gomes at DH and Ruggiano in rightfield). Ruggiano is scheduled to start tonight against Boston left-hander Jon Lester.
"Our lineup has been pretty static throughout the whole year," Maddon said. "We haven't moved guys around a whole lot, and I think that's been a big part of our success."
ROCCO UPDATE: OF Rocco Baldelli played in his third extended spring game as DH on Wednesday in St. Petersburg, going 2-for-3 with a walk. Baldelli has been on the DL since spring training with a rare mitochondrial disorder that causes fatigue in his legs. Baldelli is slated to DH again at another extended spring game Friday, as well as Monday and next Wednesday before the Rays determine whether to put him in a minor-league rehab assignment.
PERCIVAL ON MOUND: Percival threw 26 pitches in a bullpen session, his first since being put on the 15-day DL last week with a left hamstring strain.

John Mayer So Did It with Perez Hilton!
Results are in: Gossip guru Perez Hilton and emo singer John Mayer sucked face—with tongue. And—wait for it—Jessica Simpson reportedly rubbed John's crotch while it all went down.
Don't buy it? You're not alone. That's why Us lined up a polygraph expert from Fox's Moment of Truth to administer a lie-detector test to Perez. And he passed. So what if the test was given in Perez's pink-hued walk-in closet?
Only Q he fibbed on was whether he was doing this all for publicity—file that under Duh.
For his part, Mayer remains mostly mum, a bit odd for a guy who doesn't need a whole lotta impetus to wax from the heart on his official blog. His latest post, musings and life lessons from a continuing trip to Japan, slips in an oblique ref to "a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog that subsists on tearing other people down but who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man."
Not enough, Johnny boy—someone's not telling the truth. If it didn't happen, ball's in your court to say so.

Jasango Presents MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE at Roscommon Arts Centre, June 19
Galway theatre company Jasango are back with a bang at Roscommon Arts Centre this Tuesday 19th June, 8pm, with a new production of Geraldine Aron's hilarious My Brilliant Divorce.
This travelling troupe are on track for a big hit with this wittily observant and achingly funny play, and they look forward to raising the roof with this great Girls Night Out treat. Groups of ladies and their friends are invited along to a fun night out with plenty of laughs at the arts centre and Roscommon has also arranged for local beautician Denise Harlow of Beauty Secrets to come along with details about some of her girlie 'Pick n' Mix' treats and a complimentary nail paint. And, of course, men are more than welcome to join the fun, too.
My Brilliant Divorce had its World Premiere in 2001 and went on to be nominated for an Olivier Award, selling out theatres all over the world. Laugh out loud comedy, combined with heart-wrenchingly honest moments, make this an unforgettable show that both engages and entertains. The title role is played by Angela Ryan, co-founder of Jasango Theatre and this role is an acting tour-de-force that highlights Ryan's incredible energy and range as she swaps roles and accents at break-neck speed.
Meet Angela Lipsky, once half of 'Angela and Max', the world's happiest couple. That was before Max unexpectedly dumps her and runs off with Rosa, a young Mexican woman and definitely a 'younger model'. Join Angela on her poignant and hilarious journey as she attempts to rebuild her life, finding herself adrift in a sea of weird sexual encounters, sneaky solicitors, phone-in counsellors, a bad case of hypochondria and the spectre of poverty. We follow her progress from messy marital break-up to a full divorce and along the way we meet an array of extraordinary characters.
Jasango Theatre was founded in 2009 as a collaborative, multi-disciplinary company with a strong commitment to promoting women artists, bringing together musicians, visual artists and theatre practitioners to create fresh, multi-dimensional theatrical events. Tickets for My Brilliant Divorce are priced at €15/€12 and are available to purchase through Roscommon Arts Centre's box office 090 6625824 or online at www.roscommonartscentre.ie.

New director at East Suburban YMCA helm
As her 1991 graduation date from Lock Haven University approached, Kelli McIntyre — who had started swimming at age 4 and was a lifeguard at the East Suburban YMCA in Plum when she was a teen — started thinking about a career path that involved both children and her lifelong love of water.
Though she was about to receive a teaching degree, her dedication to swimming during her college years confirmed that she didn't want her own classroom nearly as much as she wanted her own pool.
"Through college, I drove home on weekends to teach swimming lessons at Franklin Regional," McIntyre said.
So instead of searching for a teaching job, she took a job as the aquatics director at the New Castle Community YMCA.
Shortly after that, she found her way back to the Plum YMCA and began to climb the organizational ladder.
Last month, a search committee bumped her up a rung when it named McIntyre, 44, of Murrysville, the new executive director of the Route 286 facility.
McIntyre succeeds Larry Stormer who left the position after nearly six years in February to take a job with Coy Capital Management in Wilkins.
She began her career at the East Suburban YMCA as a pool manager and swim coach in 1993 as well as working as a substitute teacher in the Plum School District.
"I subbed for a swim teacher," McIntyre said. "I kept going back to water."
Over the past 20 years, McIntyre has worked in a variety of positions at the Plum facility, including senior director of program and membership, associate executive director and interim executive director.
"This is what I have been moving toward all my life," McIntyre said of her new position.
"I love it. I like challenge. It really didn't hit me until our CEO said, 'You will be running the biggest nonprofit in this area.' "
McIntyre's biggest challenge is managing the $12 million expansion of the East Suburban Family YMCA, which will nearly double the size of the 20,000-square-foot facility.
Construction is expected to be completed in a year.
Features of the project are a 30,000-square-foot addition with a wellness center and track; a teaching kitchen; an indoor aquatic center, including a warm-water therapy pool; a new and expanded child-care area and summer day camp; a new community room; locker rooms; a preventive health class and rehabilitation-program area; and potentially a teen center.
The fundraising campaign kicked off a couple of years ago with a $1 million donation from the Sampson Foundation.
Gary Nowading, district vice president of the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh, said about $5.3 million has been raised to date and that the YMCA will be raising half of cost for the $12 million project and finance the other half.
McIntyre is focusing on keeping the YMCA programs in place during the construction.
Some programs have been moved to other areas of the facility to accommodate the project.
"I am a calm person, but I like the chaos of construction," McIntyre said.
Those who have worked with McIntyre laud her for her passion with respect to the YMCA.
"We could not be more pleased with Kelli as executive director," Nowading said.
"Kelli is an asset to the Y, and will be a bigger asset with this leading role."
"Kelli is passionate about that Y and the YMCA," Stormer said.
"I think she will do a phenomenal job."
"Kelli is honestly one of the most determined, hard-working and passionate people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with," said Ben Raible of North Huntingdon who is the director of youth development at the East Suburban Family YMCA.
"There is no one more deserving or better prepared to lead our branch into this exciting new era. The future Sampson Family YMCA is positioned perfectly in the very capable hands of Kelli McIntyre."
Karen Zapf is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. She can be reached at 412-856-7400 ext. 8753 or email@example.com.

Guest Editorial
Data types seem so innocuous, but mistakes in their use can creep up on you like a flesh-eating zombie and destroy your project just when you least expect it. Dealing with strings seems so trivial, what could go wrong? An awful lot: if I wanted to write horror films for developers, collations and character sets would be there. However, to chill the marrow of any experienced developer, dates, times and money would all feature high in the cast list.
It surprises me that JSON is now widely accepted as a means of transferring data. As it stands, it is clever but incomplete. I've always wondered if Doug Crockford's mum summoned him to dinner at the point that he was wondering what to do about handling dates, time-periods and money in JSON. Coleridge, after all, had to answer the doorbell and get a parcel from Mr Postie, a person from Porlock, just as he was transferring his wonderful poem 'Kubla Kahn' from his head onto paper. When he returned, the rest of the poem had vanished from his memory.
Whatever actually happened with JSON, the current definition is of no use for data interchange. The only way of using it is to adopt the philosophy of the CSV file in letting the recipient figure out how you've represented money or dates. XML is fine if you use it properly since XSD does pretty well with its xs:date and xs:timezone. Dates in Ruby strings seem a cop-out, as they just aren't human-readable.
This is part of a wider confusion about data. All data types have, as I see it, three fundamental forms. They have a culturally dependent form into which they are rendered, for the human eye. Taking our example of dates, we can represent them as '29th April 2013 9:32 5:733s AM GMT'. We have a form for data interchange such as 2013-04-29T09:32:05.733 +00:00, and we have a numerical storage form, which depends on the database or application and date datatype that we select. Nowadays, if we're being sensible, we always select a data interchange format based on ISO 8601 (my favorite flavor is RFC 3339). When we render dates, we use a special-purpose routine that knows how every culture prefers to see dates, in their time zone. That is generally a one-way trip for data.
Interchange formats aren't enough, though. Applications need a storage form of data. When 'Big Data' has to use a data interchange format, such as JSON or XML, to store data, it is facing an inevitable performance headache. Sure, you can solve it with clever indexing strategies, but you're always going to be dealing with a nightmare of conversions when reading all the data interchange formats during queries that, for example, aggregate date ranges.
Of course, when using JSON or XML as a data storage format, you also need more real estate to store your date that you would using a proper data storage format, three times more, in the example I've chosen. Perhaps that is why the data is always "big".
Dates are simple compared with money. I could tell you stories about financial calculations gone awry that would bring tears to your eyes but space constraints constrain me from telling it to you here. I'm sure one or two readers would like to fill in the details, in the comments.
I'll end on an optimistic note. James Newton-King of JSON.NET has worked hard to advance JSON to the point where it is, at least, a useable form for data interchange. JSON, as implemented in JSON.NET, now represents the state of the art. Use it with confidence and let's hope it becomes the basis of a new standard. Even so, both XML and JSON are, like CSV, ways of interchanging data, not storing it.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Is Pregnant
Welp, she finally trapped a man. There's no running away now, mister! MUAHAHAH- Oh, right planes exist. Us Weekly reports:
"We're so thrilled and happy to start a family," the Client List costars tell Us in a statement. A source says Hewitt is about three months along.
The couple began dating 15 months ago after reconnecting on the set of their hit Lifetime show; they previously appeared on the short-lived NBC series Love Bites. Hewitt was previously engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall, whom she began dating in 2005. They called it quits in late 2008 and Hewitt went on to date her Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy from 2009 to 2010.
Asked if Brian had chosen one of Jennifer Love Hewitt's three pre-selected engagement rings, the actress responded, "Well, we discussed it and agreed that this was a nice trade-off. So fortunately I'm not the type of person to passive-aggressively obsess over something to the point where I become so intolerable even Jamie Kennedy gets tired of having sex with me. I mean, why would I do such a thing, right, Brian? Why? Why, Brian? Why? WHY WHY WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY!?!"

Advisor Name Title Subhash C. Kak Committee Chair Ashok Srivastava Committee Member Hsiao-Chun Wu Committee Member Keywords
- complex input neural networks
Date of Defense 2003-03-11 Availability unrestricted AbstractNeural network architectures that can handle complex inputs, such as backpropagation
networks, perceptrons or generalized Hopfield networks, require a large amount of time
and resources for the training process. This thesis adapts the time-efficient corner
classification approach to train feedforward neural networks to handle complex inputs
using prescriptive learning, where the network weights are assigned simply upon
examining the inputs. At first a straightforward generalization of the CC4 corner
classification algorithm is presented to highlight issues in training complex neural
networks. This algorithm performs poorly in a pattern classification experiment and for it
to perform well some inputs have to be restricted. This leads to the development of the
3C algorithm, which is the main contribution of the thesis. This algorithm is tested using
the pattern classification experiment and the results are found to be quite good. The
performance of the two algorithms in time series prediction is illustrated using the
Mackey-Glass time series. Quaternary input encoding is used for the pattern
classification and the time series prediction experiments since it reduces the network size
significantly by cutting down on the number of neurons required at the input layer.

A huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women.It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family, is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London.
Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution.In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.
About The Author
Ken Follett was only twenty-seven when he wrote Eye of the Needle, the award-winning novel which became an international bestseller and a distinguished film. Before that, he had been a newspaper reporter and a publishing executive after studying philosophy at University College, London. He has since written ten equally successful novels and the non-fiction bestseller, On Wings of Eagles. Ken Follett lives with his family in London and Stevenage.
'An epic saga on a grand scale. Spiked with romance and intrigue ... This involving historical saga is the perfect read for long winter evenings' Choice 'Like Follett's classic novel, Pillars of the Earth, it quickly becomes a guilty pleasure' Daily Telegraph 'Perhaps no British author better illustrates the forces at work in international publishing than can give birth to, and then grow, a global brand ... If such books deliver the simple pleasures of escape, maybe they hold up a distant mirror to their readers too' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'An extraordinary achievement' A.N. Wilson, Reader's Digest 'This is hi-octane storytelling all the more powerful because the story it tells is, mostly, true. Follett's command of the vast forces he unleashes is as impressive as the battle strategies of his generals, and in many cases more so ... overall Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly' Scotsman 'Follett has managed to write an accessible and fascinating page turner that leaves the reader wanting more, at the same time as staying true to history' Sunday Business Post 'He's pulled it off again with Fall of Giants: it's classic Follett with the brewing cataclysm of war given a human angle' Sunday Express 'Few works set out with such a grand concept as Ken Follett's new Century trilogy, but part one suggests that the series will be one of the literary masterpieces of our time ... while grand events and themes are at the core of the novel, it is the richness of the characters and the intertwining of their often disparate stories that steal the show' Sunday Times 'The master storyteller Ken Follett knits together British, American, German and Russian points of view from the start to the end of the First World War into a fascinating and remarkably fertile tapestry of society and politics' The Times

Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project (SHARP)
SHARP (Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project) is a long-term archaeological research project, whose primary objective is the investigation of the entire range of human settlement and land use in the Norfolk parish of Sedgeford. Established in 1996, SHARP is one of the largest independent archaeological projects in Britain and firmly rooted in the local community.
Although only a relatively small village, Sedgeford has an incredibly rich heritage spanning over four thousand years. Our work has encompassed such sites as Late Neolithic and Iron Age crouched burials, a Roman villa and farmstead, a Middle to Late Anglo-Saxon settlement and cemetery, medieval manors and church and a First World War aerodrome.
If you have ever thought about digging on an archaeological excavation then we have the opportunities for you. Our excavations run in July and August, and don't worry if you haven't got any experience of digging because we run a series of week long courses specifically dedicated to teaching you all you need to know about archaeological excavation and recording techniques. We also run numerous other archaeological courses and day schools, many requiring no prior knowledge of archaeology. During our excavation season, anyone can visit the dig or attend our series of archaeological lectures.
Further details can be found on SHARP's main website www.sharp.org.uk.
