Witnesses sought to fatal N4 crash
Tributes were paid this week to Longford man Niall Reddin who was killed in a tragic road accident outside Newtownforbes last Friday.
Mr Reddin sustained fatal injuries when the bicycle he was cycling collided with an articulated lorry on the main N4 at Clonart, Bornacoola at around midday.
It's understood Mr Reddin, of St Alban's, Battery Road, Longford and formerly of The Green, Lanesboro was cycling in the direction of Rooskey when the incident occurred.
Mr Reddin, who worked at manufacturing giant, Athlone Laboratories in Co Roscommon, had been living in Longford town prior to his death.
Described by those who knew him best as one of life's more humble and unassuming of characters, local Cllr Mark Casey said Mr Reddin would be remembered most for his warm and easy-going nature.
"He was very quiet, just a genuinely nice guy," he said, as he began to refer to Mr Reddin's rich association with local community events. "His father Vincent came to work in Bord Na Mona years ago and the family moved to The Green, Lanesboro. Niall was never any bother and he worked for a period of time with the ISPCA.
"He was involved in community events too and would help out with stewarding at some of the festivals around town."
Mr Reddin's funeral takes place today (Wednesday, 12pm) at St Mary's Church, Lanesboro followed by burial to Clonbonny Cemetery.
He is survived by his parents, Vincent and Ellen, brother Darragh, girlfriend Treasa, extended family and friends.
The road, between the Rooskey roundabout and Newtownforbes, was closed off for a period of time on Friday as forensic experts carried out a full examination of the scene.
Gardai have also appealed for motorists who were travelling on the N4 and who may have witnessed the incident to contact them at Longford Garda Station (043) 3350570.

Hiding the Pickle & Other Weird Holiday Traditions
Long before the Elf on a Shelf was a glint in parents' eyes, my family used to hide knee hugger elves for me and my brother to find on Christmas Eve. It was a December version of an Easter egg hunt, and it's just what we did. I don't know how the tradition started, or who came up with it, but it was a staple of our holidays throughout childhood. I didn't realize until I was an adult that others didn't do the same thing, and had no idea what I was talking about.
Other traditions are more rooted in history versus family quirks, but one thing is clear: we all do some strange sh*t around the holidays. Some favorites:
• The possibly German tradition of hiding a glass pickle ornament in the Christmas tree.
• Holding money at the strike of midnight on New Year's, with the hope of wealth in the months to come.
• Purposefully donning "ugly christmas sweaters" at parties and family get-togethers.
How about you? Did your family do anything strange around the holidays? Or, which tradition do you particularly enjoy?

text: Based on a novel by Frederic Dard who also co-scripted with director Jean-Pierre Mocky, this satire on French politics is centered around an official whose earlier rise to power had some sordid aspects that are about to be uncovered by the death of his uncle. While he is trying to contain any potential scandal, the man becomes enamored of the daughter of his uncle's maid. This new romance inspires him to forget worries about a public image and focus on a new life -- not any easy objective when unsavory friends and foes have their own agendas in mind. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi


text: Judging by what a lot of high-street stores have in stock, bib shirts (like the one to the left) seem to be popular right now. I'm not sure why. From a distance it just looks like the wearer has been sweating profusely in a asymmetrical pattern. Not the look anyone wants to go for.

Elegant Photography Logos | Master The Art Of Logo Design With These Simple Tips (Bonus: 3 Examples To Inspire You)
Elegant Photography Logos | This morning, I couldn't help but overhear two guys (because I was totally eavesdropping) while standing in line at Starbucks arguing about Google's most recent logo change. One guy was absolutely appalled, while the other defended the logo change as if he designed it himself. But the point is that they both noticed the change and have strong emotions associated with the logo. The good news is that you don't have to be the head of Google to have an effective logo designed that will appeal to your target audience, help you stand out from the crowd, and engage your ideal client!
Elegant Photography Logos | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
What you will need to be, however, is creative, patient and just a tad intuitive. To begin with, a logo is not merely some colors, fonts, and fancy lines put together. It is your brand's identity, so it needs to be able not only to represent the nature of your brand, but also stand out from the sea of other logos and grab the attention of your potential clients. This is easier said than done – we live in a world painted with logos: we're bombarded with so many logos on a daily basis that our brains adapted to ignore most, noticing only the most interesting ones. Are you up for a challenge? Let's create a photography logo together!
Start With Plenty Of Sketches | Elegant Photography Logos
We've been designing logos for photographers just like you for years now, and if we learned one thing, it's that the initial ideas people have are usually the most generic (and most frequently used) ones. Let's face it, the last thing you want is to have your logo mistaken for a logo of a competitor, so you'll need to make sure you create a unique design. To get there, however, you'll need to fill out a few pages of rough sketches and ideas before even thinking about using your computer. Then, narrow down the selection to only a few designs and start refining them.
RELATED: Effective Photography Logo Ideas | 6 Rules Most Photographers Break When Designing Their Logos! How Many Did You Break?
Colors Will Only Distract You | Elegant Photography Logos
Leave the color for the end of the design project – instead, focus on the actual shape of the logo and work on it until you're satisfied with the overall look and feel. Remember, you'll need to be able to use your logo in many different sizes and versions, so if you rely on color from the get-go to communicate a particular idea, you will need to figure out a way to communicate the same message even when the color is removed when you copy a document or fax something to a client. Leaving out the color during this stage of the project will ensure you end up with an effective and versatile logo.
Versatility Goes Beyond Color | Elegant Photography Logos
Creating a truly versatile logo requires a lot more than designing the logo in black – you need to pay attention to the actual logo files you use. Whenever we design a logo for a client, we use vector formats to ensure perfect usability. Unlike raster images, vectors will allow you to scale your logo to pretty much any size without affecting the quality, whereas raster images will start breaking down into pixels after a certain point. Which brings us to our next point!
Your new logo will definitely be used in a variety of different sizes – particularly on the smallish side. Keep in mind that overly complex logos can "gum up" when used as a very small image. Think business card design, fax header, or even a golf ball! If your logo turns into an indiscernible smudge when scaled down to fit smaller marketing materials, you have a serious problem on your hands! This can be solved rather easily – make sure you don't use unnecessary design elements such as shadows or other 3D effects. Instead, have a simple logo that's easy to use and remember, and if you want, you can always have an alternate, souped-up version you can show off.

Ensure Readability | Elegant Photography Logos
While there are companies that dropped the name from their main logos, such as Twitter and Starbucks, chances are, you haven't built that kind of brand recognition (just yet!), so you'll want to make sure the name of your business is clearly featured in your logo. However, don't make it difficult for your potential clients to read the name of your business – use a simple font that's easy to read. The point is to enable your potential clients to read the name of your business whether you've handed them your business card or they're whizzing past a roadside billboard with your name on it.
Elegant Photography Logos | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Choose Your Colors Carefully | Elegant Photography Logos
The color is a designer's most valuable tool, and it can do wonders for any piece of design – whether you're trying to bring a dull design to life, communicate a particular message, emphasize an important area, or evoke an emotional response. However, keep in mind that every color has a different meaning, and even the meaning can vary from one part of the world to another – which is why you'll want to do your homework! Don't fall into the trap of communicating a wrong message because of a simple brush stroke, especially since you'll be using these colors throughout other branded materials to ensure consistency.

London: Spanish football giant Real Madrid have tabled a 30 million pound bid for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez.
But boss Alex Ferguson is desperate to keep the 23-year-old Mexican at Old Trafford.
United want him to sign a new five-year deal, tripling his wages from 25,000 pounds to 75,000 pounds.
But Real would be prepared to double that again and pay a transfer fee which represents five times what United bought the striker for when they took him from Chivas for six million pounds just 18 months ago.
Real boss Jose Mourinho could make his move in the January transfer window but believes his best chance of getting the player will come next summer.
Fergie will hope that, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, Hernandez does not have his heart set on the Bernabeu.
The Little Pea scored 20 goals in an amazing debut season for United as he struck up a great understanding with Wayne Rooney in the second half of the campaign. That brought a record 19th title to Old Trafford and Hernandez followed that with more glory for Mexico in this summer``s Gold Cup.

Basketball, like any other major sport, has its own unique words and phrases used by sports journalists, players, and fans.
a ball is alive when it is released by a shooter or thrower, or legally tapped by a jumper during a jump ball; the game clock starts only when the ball becomes alive; compare with live.
alternating-possession rule:
in college, the possession arrow changes direction after each subsequent jump ball situation, alternating which team gets possession for the throw-in.
the last pass to a teammate that leads directly to a field goal; the scorer must move immediately toward the basket for the passer to be credited with an assist; only 1 assist can be credited per field goal.
the rectangular structure, 6' x 3 1/2', to which the basket is attached.
the area from the midcourt line to the end line furthest from the offense's basket.
ball handler:
the player with the ball; usually the point guard at the start of a play.
bank shot:
a shot where the ball is first bounced (or banked) off the backboard at such an angle that it then drops into the basket.
see end line.
attached to the backboard, it consists of a metal rim 18" in diameter suspended 10' from the floor, from which a 15-18" corded net hangs, and through which points are scored; also used to refer to a successful field goal.
beat the defender:
when an offensive player, with or without the ball, is able to get past an opponent who is guarding him.
blind pass:
a pass from a ball handler who does not see his receiver, but is estimating where he should be.
blocked shot:
the successful deflection of a shot by touching part of the ball on its way to the basket, thereby preventing a field goal.
the use of a defender's body position to illegally prevent an opponent's advance; the opposite of charging.
alumni supporters of college teams.
boxing out:
a player's attempt to position his body between his opponents and the basket to get rebounds and prevent the opponents from doing so.
see fast break.
center circle:
the circular area at midcourt from which jump balls are taken.
an offensive foul which occurs when an offensive player runs into a defender who has established position.
clear out:
see one-on-one showdown.
the president of the NBA.
the 94' x 50' area bounded by 2 sidelines and 2 end lines containing a basket at each end, on which a basketball game is played.
court vision:
a player's ability to see everything on the court during play — such as where his teammates and defenders are set up — which enables him to make better choices in passing; the best point guards possess this.
crossover dribble:
when a ball handler dribbles the ball across his body from one hand to the other.
the imaginary area directly above the basket where goaltending or basket interference can occur.
dead ball:
any ball that is not live; occurs after each successful field goal or free-throw attempt, after any official's whistle or if the ball leaves the court; it stops play which is then resumed by a jump ball, throw-in or free-throw.
the act of preventing the offense from scoring; the team without the ball.
defensive rebound:
a rebound of an opponent's missed shot.
double team:
when two teammates join efforts in guarding a single opponent.
downcourt or down the court:
the direction a team on offense moves, from its backcourt into its frontcourt and towards its own basket.
the method by which NBA teams annually select college or foreign players to their teams, designed to promote balanced competition in the NBA.
Dream Team:
the name given by the media to the U.S. basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics; it was the first time non-amateurs were permitted to represent the country; the members of this team were Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Christian Laettner, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson and John Stockton. In the 1996 Olympics, the U.S. team was called Dream Team II and in 2000, Dream Team III.
dribble or dribbling:
when a player repeatedly pushes, pats, taps or bats the ball toward the floor with one hand to cause the ball to bounce back up to either of his hands; used to advance the ball or keep control of it.
dribble series:
a number of consecutive dribbles which end when a player allows the ball to rest in one or both hands; a player is only permitted one dribble series before he must pass or shoot.
drive to the basket:
to move rapidly toward the basket with the ball.
when a player close to the basket jumps and strongly throws the ball down into it; an athletic, creative shot used to intimidate opponents.
it is a violation if a player vigorously or excessively swings his elbows, even if there is no contact; it is a foul if contact is made, and an automatic ejection if that contact is above shoulder level.
end line:
the boundary line behind each basket; also called the baseline.
established position:
when a defensive player has both feet firmly planted on the floor before an offensive player's head and shoulder get past him; the offensive player who runs into such a defender is charging.
fake or feint:
a deceptive move to throw a defender off balance and allow an offensive player to shoot or receive a pass; players use their eyes, head or any other part of the body to trick an opponent.
fast break:
also called the run-and-shoot offense, it begins with a defensive rebound by a player who immediately sends an outlet pass toward midcourt to his waiting teammates; these teammates can sprint to their basket and quickly shoot before enough opponents catch up to stop them.

actions by players which break the rules but are not floor violations; penalized by a change in possession or free-throw opportunities; see personal foul or technical foul.

a professional team.
franchise player:
a star player around which a franchise is built.
free agent, restricted:
an NBA player whose contract has expired and who has received a "qualifying offer" from his current club which provides a salary level predetermined by the collective bargaining agreement. While this player is free to negotiate an offer from a new team, his current team has a right of first refusal to match that offer, thereby obligating him to remain with his current team.
free agent, unrestricted:
a player who has completed his 3rd NBA season (or 4th season, if his current team exercised its "option" to have him play for a 4th year) and is free to negotiate a contract with other NBA teams without his current team having a right of first refusal.

Irvine – April 26, 2014. Residents of Southern California now has easier access to hood installation Irvine services as more and more companies step up to fill the void in demand. One such company called Range Hood Installation now offers installation services concerning commercial range hoods as well as those meant for residential use. This announcement is a welcome development as demand for such services remains strong.
Commercial range hoods owners, on the other hand, are the ones expected to benefit the most as hood installation Irvine services as well as maintenance and repair procedures are now within reach. Range hoods utilized in commercial kitchens are more vulnerable to wear and tear due to the higher volumes and frequencies involved in their operations.
The usual process flow of services would involve a consultation session with the experts in an effort to determine which service best suits the client's needs. Planning comes next which mostly includes the engineering and design aspects via blueprints. The company also takes care of the necessary permits and approvals required for smooth operations. Actual installation is what follows, which is then concluded with a final inspection to make sure that the installation perfectly fits, eliminating the risks of accidents and other hazards that could arise from the situation.
About Range Hood Installation
Range Hood Installation is one of the leading range hood installers in the Southern California area, specializing in all facets of commercial range hood installation. Counting on qualified technicians backed up by years of experience and relevant training, the company aims to be the primary provider services which would ensure the safety of operations when it comes to range hood equipment.

School is almost back in session! For Linux users, there are two top-notch distributions out there specifically aimed towards education: Edubuntu and UberStudent.
While you could easily take a look at both of them to see which one's better for you, we bet you don't have a lot of time as you're busy getting ready for the new school year. So instead, we'll compare them for you. After reading this, you'll be able to easily pick the distribution that best suits your needs.
Downloading and Installing
Getting and installing both Edubuntu and UberStudent is easy. Simply get the ISO for Edubuntu or for UberStudent, and write it to a 4GB or larger flash drive Linux Live USB Creator: Easily Boot Linux From Your Flash Drive Linux Live USB Creator: Easily Boot Linux From Your Flash Drive Read More . Then, plug it into your computer and boot into it (you may have to change your BIOS settings How to Change the Boot Order on Your PC (So You Can Boot From USB) How to Change the Boot Order on Your PC (So You Can Boot From USB) Learn how to change the boot order of your computer. It's important for troubleshooting issues and tweaking settings, and it's a lot easier than you think. Read More ). After that, you can choose to try it out or go ahead and install it to your system.
Comparison Metrics
Since both distributions are based on Ubuntu, that takes away a lot of behind-the-scene differences. Instead, we can focus purely on what's important, which includes:
- what programs are preinstalled and if any other special features are included
- how everything is organized
- how it looks.
So, let's get right to it.
Installed Programs
Both distributions provide a good array of educational programs right out of the box. And it shows in the download sizes, as UberStudent and Edubuntu are 2.8 GB and 3.1 GB, respectively. Scrolling through them all, I've noticed that Edubuntu has a bigger collection of educational programs preinstalled than UberStudent. In fact, UberStudent even uses links to some web apps as if they're actual programs. I suppose that can be useful for some people, but I personally consider that as a bad thing rather than a good thing.
Importantly, there are a handful of programs that are on Edubuntu that UberStudent doesn't have, such as KAlgebra, Kazium, KGeography, and Marble. Instead, UberStudent has a smaller collection of applications but it does include some useful items when it comes to writing papers that Edubuntu does not have. So ultimately, Edubuntu includes more programs that are information-heavy, while UberStudent includes more tools that can aid students in their studies but doesn't directly give them any sort of information.
I generally find Edubuntu's array of applications to be larger and more diverse, and it'll be most useful for math and science folks. UberStudent is still a good choice if you're less science-oriented and know you'll be writing a lot of papers. This functionality in UberStudent is primarily provided by Zotero Take The Stress Out Of Referencing With Zotero Take The Stress Out Of Referencing With Zotero Essays are dry. They're time consuming. They're dull. And the worst part of it? Referencing. Thankfully, there's an app out there making referencing less frustrating. Read More , which also includes a Zotero integration extension in Firefox that communicates with LibreOffice. You can replicate the same experience on Edubuntu. Of course, you can always install additional programs on either distribution, but in this comparison we have to take into account how many programs it includes from the start and how useful that is.
Winner: Edubuntu
Of course, all of those applications won't do anything if you can't find them, and people who are new to Linux will quite possibly not know what all of those applications are called. Having a good menu structure that makes finding relevant applications easy is essential, and UberStudent does a much better job at this.
It's not necessarily Edubuntu's fault, as it just uses Ubuntu's Unity desktop as its default, but Unity itself is flawed by design in this respect and not an ideal solution. Unity can only narrow down by major categories (such as Educational, Math & Science, and Games), while UberStudent can offer finer levels of organization.
Winner: UberStudent
Looks and Design
UberStudent uses the Xfce desktop which makes the entire distribution use less system resources, but it uses a rather strange skin that makes it look a little weird. Specifically, the window control buttons all have different colors, which just makes the distribution feel more childish rather than an educational tool.
Edubuntu, on the other hand, stays with the Unity desktop environment along with Ubuntu's default theme. Therefore, it looks cleaner and more mature. Plus, proficiency with Linux is increasingly becoming a desired skill, and Ubuntu is the top Linux distribution that people work with. Becoming familiar with the Ubuntu user interface can help more later on in life than UberStudent's user interface.
Winner: Edubuntu
After these three rounds, Edubuntu leads UberStudent 2-1 and is therefore the winner of this comparison. While it might be a little difficult to sift through all the included applications, it's a very nice-looking distro that comes with a load of applications preinstalled. However, UberStudent isn't really that bad either, as it makes finding relevant applications easier and also includes a decent amount of software from the get go.
If you think that UberStudent may fit your needs better, whether you value the better organization, prefer its look and design over Edubuntu's, or need it due to its lighter load on system resources, it's still a great choice. Picking either one will put you in the right direction. However, for the purposes of this comparison, Edubuntu is the winner.
What educational Linux tools do you like or use regularly? Have you got any tips for college students as they head into the school year with Linux? Let us know in the comments!

While late coming to your review I appreciate the time and effort put into it. As someone looking into these distros it would be helpful to know what the system requirements are for each, 32bit and 64 bit for each etc. Many of us aren't able to use the latest greatest computer hardware and finding distros that aren't resource heavy makes a world of difference. Again, apprecviate the article and wishing you the best! :-)
The many tools (which is much more than just Zotero!), and the amount and type of help available in UberStudent (such as CherryTree Example, which is literally an entire semester of academic work organized in CherryTree), are applicable to 100% of students in tertiary education. Edubuntu is primarily applicable to the 16% who major in natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science (http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d13/tables/dt13_318.20.asp).
UberStudent does not assume your major but provides an app installer with programs by category just for that. By the way, when you install them, they expand in to those amazingly well organized menus, revealing additional menu sub-categories.
Enough said.
Nearly everyone now calls these 'distro repositories' app stores now - free as well as for pay. Blame the cell phone industry for this. BTW, I don't like the term app - as to me that implies some simple little program that does something small and not a full program. But times and language change.
Is there really any need to have a distro supposedly tailored to college students? With a lot of included apps that they may not even need? Wouldn't it be far better to have a special app store just for those apps that students need? That way they can customize their own with just the apps they actually need this semester - no Art History app automatically installed when your primary focus is Physics, chemistry and Math. And no Physics app if you are primarily an Art student.
Unfortunately, my experience with Linux app stores is they are difficult to navigate and seem to shove certain apps (paid advertising?) in your face on the front page, then if you don't know the exact name of an app you want - you have to figure out what group that store decided it went into and page, page, page to find it if you are lucky. Do calculator apps go in educational or in desktop apps? Why not both?
"Linux app store" implies apps for sale. The philosophy of Linux is that the vast majority of applications are available for free, as in you don't pay for them.
It is the first time I have ever hear of "Linux app stores." Are you referring to distro repositories or smartphone/tablet apps? I use Synaptic Package Manager to manage my software. It presents the list of available software without any rankings or recommendations, either from users or developers. Synaptic does not concentrate on looking pretty like MintUpdate or Ubuntu Software Manager but on being useful and functional.
"Do calculator apps go in educational or in desktop apps?"
Why not do a search on "calculator"? Or does Software Manager or Software Update not allow searching the package definitions? Synaptic does. :-)
Some people prefer to have the tools they want ready-to-go immediately with little extra effort. But in your case, it's best just to install the normal distribution and add apps from there. You can look up apps that are included in Edubuntu or UberStudent as a source of inspiration.
Excellent article Danny ! Especially for students like me , hope there will be more like this in the future .
I had a question . A week has passed since I installed Linux on my PC along with Windows 7 (Dual-boot) . So I've yet not got enough things about the command line and all the other geeky stuff ( although planning to do so soon ) . So I wanted to know that can I use them ? I mean aren't they difficult to use ? And how should I go about installing them ( with Ubuntu already installed )?
Thanks !
All command line utilities you'll commonly need are already installed, so you shouldn't have to do more than open a terminal and enter in commands. Of course, do some research before you start doing that so you won't accidentally mess up your system. The terminal is a powerful tool, but not a fool-proof tool.

This Week's ACEspiration — Be Yourself, Uniquely You, Individuality, Uniqueness
Message from Dr. B. (Linda Paulk Buchanan): The other day I was listening to TV news on Sirius radio, so obviously I couldn't see the faces of those who were speaking. However, I was able to recognize who was speaking by the sound of their voices. It struck me that every person has a unique voice. As I pondered this I was impressed by the fact that in all of the world, no two people have the exact voice (though my sister and I come close)! There is just one you and that should be celebrated!

Critic Reviews for La religieuse (The Nun)
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (3)
Measured and sensible, The Nun lacks the full-on claustrophobic horror of a film like The Magdalene Sisters and moves through events at a matter-of-fact distance.
Pauline Etienne as the heroine is a harmonising centre, believable, luminous, quiet-spoken, poignant.
It's an affecting and frank take on the loneliness of faith as well as faithlessness, whose horrors come in odd contrast to the plush production values.
It's a generally classy yet dramatically underpowered affair traversing a steady path between respectable costume drama and habit-lifting exploitation.
Looks as tasteful as can be but, in terms of emotion, lacks any kind of finesse.
Guillaume Nicloux has, alongside Jérôme Beaujour, crafted a stately and atmospheric adaptation of Denis Diderot's novel, which is driven onwards by a powerful central female performance.

Twinkies may live on after all.
Bankrupt Hostess Brands Inc. and its striking union agreed to enter into mediation to try to resolve their differences, putting the baking company's planned liquidation on hold for now.
At a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing Monday in White Plains, N.Y., the 82-year-old company sought permission to start shutting down its business. Instead, Judge Robert Drain urged Hostess and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union to consider mediation.
Both sides agreed to try to work through the conflict, which could preserve more than 18,000 jobs. Those include 550 positions for workers at two bakeries and seven retail stores in Los Angeles and Orange counties, as of the start of the year.

Pixar Announces "The Good Dinosaur" and "Dia De Los Muertos"
Posted: April 25th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
During CinemaCon, Pixar provided updates on some of their upcoming projects, including "The Good Dinosaur," "Dia De Los Muertos," and an untitled film that takes you inside the mind.
The Good Dinosaur:
What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? This hilarious, heartfelt and original tale is directed by Bob Peterson (co-director/writer of "Up" and writer of "Finding Nemo") and produced by John Walker (The Incredibles, The Iron Giant). It's set to hit theaters on May 30th, 2014.
Dia De Los Muertos:
The Mexican holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It will be directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3). It will likely be released in the fall of 2015 or summer of 2016.
Untitled Mind Film:
From director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc), the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind. It's set to hit theaters on June 19th, 2015.

Yet still no Incredibles 2 !!

Well, at least these ideas sound slightly better than more sequels and prequels.
on April 25th, 2012 at 5:40:55 AM
Dia De Los Muertos, huh? Guess even a mega company like Pixar has to do a little pandering every now and again.
on April 25th, 2012 at 5:57:50 AM
The Untitled Mind Film looks the most interesting, especially with Pete Docter directing one of the best Pixar captains so far IMO. I wonder how many ideas Pixar can get through before the standard starts declining or they give in to the ass raping, money grabbing c*nts formerly known as Disney. They've pretty much run out of animals to animate so they're going back to Dinosaur times, creationists will be doing there nut!

f*ck Pixar...thay have lost whatever magic they had.

Boring!! But the kiddies will love it.
on April 25th, 2012 at 9:34:49 AM
Pixar should make a movie called 'd*cks' ...about talking d*cks, that talk, and f*ck.
Don't worry, it wouldn't be obscene or anything because, ya know, they would be CG cartoon d*cks with funny faces and whatnot, and not actual d*cks. It could be a heartwarming tale. Kids would love it. Parents would love it, especially moms ...and Uncle Lewis.
on April 25th, 2012 at 11:32:21 AM
is just a stupid announcement.not like anyone is casted to do the voices or anything.WASTE of thread.

"What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?"
Benn done to death in comics, cartoon and even a television show. What if. Wouldn't happen. The earth's ecosystem was already changing, and the dinos would have gone extinct in another hundred million years anyway, and they couldn't even live in our ecosystem, and even if they hadn't, they had hundreds of millions of years to evolve intelligence and they didn't, so another hundred wouldn't have mattered because there was no environmental impetus to develop intelligence. That and the fact that walking upright and possessing opposable thumbs has something to do with the development of human-level IQ, neither of which the big brutes possessed.
But hey, I love PIXAR. But they need to change up the CGI every blue moon. Do something different. They have earned the cache to do it, and we'd forgive them if they failed, though Disney might. Ok, so I see why they won't. Never mind.

The Good Dinosaur sounds promising. A search for concept art shows a boy and a brachiosaurus which means dinosaurs and mammals will coexist in this world. Since dinosaurs were not wiped out from an extinction level event i.e. asteroid, it would be interesting to see how their species have further evolved over the years with possibly higher intelligence and maybe even speech. Lots of great potential for funny interactions.

Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead. Interesting subject matter, that Pixar is making films to explore cultural celebrations from around the world. With Ratatouille, it explored the world of French culinary and showcased Paris. Now a Mexican religious festival to celebrate deceased loved ones as a symbol of death and rebirth. I�m sure Pixar will somehow make the ritual of cemetery visits, building alters and shrines and dressing up skeletons to become something tasteful and a fun family affair.
@Bando � surprised you aren�t excited for this one seeing that it comes from your own backyard.
Untitled Mind Film sounds the most intriguing. The Fantastic Voyage and Inner Space were both entertaining films for their times and explored a good part of the human body. There is great material with updating the subject matter using animation format. As a film that deals exclusively on the mind will hopefully give us the grand tour of the human skull, cerebral cortex, frontal lobes, spinal column etc. The film could potentially delve into brain functions like how we exercise self-control, reason, imagine, dream and how we carry out our routine day-to-day tasks of living (for most WP-er its sleeping, waking, eating, sh*tting, reading, swearing, writing, insulting and jacking etc.). It will certainly help as a refresher to some on WP who appear lacking in their ability to effectively communicate and play nice within larger group settings. Of course, this will likely be a happy family movie and won't get into degenerative brain disorders nor show melting brain matter. So unfortunately retards still won't understand why they are retards.

@Mink - interesting points. However, how about humans becoming the impetus for dinosaurs to evolve their intelligence levels? Or maybe dinosaurs become the impetus for humans to evolve dinosaur-like traits to better adapt and survive in the outdoors eg. chameleon boy or flight ability. Point being, both dominant species never coexisted in the same world. So no doubt Pixar will give us their funny take on what happens when these two get together. Maybe they will explore the change on ecosystems. Or maybe they will create a new one altogether. Knowing both species will share the same world, there is likely to be a good degree of creative license.

I think the thing to remember is that humans would have never evolved if the reign of dinosaurs had never ended, because the mammals that eventually led the way to primates filled the vast ecological niches left void by the departing dinos, so there's not much likelihood humans and dinosaurs would have ever coexisted, and I think that's a moot point, because from the above synopsis, I don't see where there's any mention of humans at all.
Seems to me PIXAR is going for an alternate take on evolution, a 'what if the Chixulub event never occurred' kind of thing.
"However, how about humans becoming the impetus for dinosaurs to evolve their intelligence levels?"
I don't think that makes much sense, no offense, one because there's no mention of humans, and two, humans didn't come along until much, much later after the dinosaurs.
Mankind is only ~2 million years old, the dinos left 65 mya, and three, if the dinos had never gone extinct, there would be no humans, so we're back to what I said, which is, PIXAR is taking a 'what if' look, saying what would life have done if the asteroid that wiped the dinos out had missed earth, and I'm saying, not much, because dinosaurs had limited intelligence for the entire time they ruled the world, and would have likely retained that rather limited intelligence because a, there was no ecological impetus for them to do otherwise, and b, morphologically, they lacked the physiological structures many biologists now agree are necessary for the co-development of human-level intelligence.
And yes, I know PIXARs films aren't much more than 3D cartoons, but I would like to think that a progressive studio like them, with their enviro-friendly WALL-E and their power-girl feminist portrayal per Brave, would want to aim for a more scientifically literate attitude, instead of going all Wile E Coyote on the mixed-demo audience to which they aspire to entertain.

And now I see where you posted a link to some art involving a sauropod and a human. So two things: if humans do appear, then I think that's not only highly unoriginal, but also stupid as even most American kids nowadays know, in general, that humans only came about as a result of the dinosaurs going extinct. It also unfortunately assists in reinforcing the re-emerging and scientifically illiterate Creationist ideology that man and dinosaurs shared the world before the Biblical Great Deluge.
I also thought the first image on your link was perhaps used to show scale, but then they have some mongoloid looking kid below, so whatever.

@Mink � firstly, thanks for taking the time to respond. Your thoughts are well considered.
I agree with the traditional understanding of theory of evolution, the rise of mammals/humans after the fall of dinosaurs. One dominant species removed in time to make way for the next. However, this is a movie and a Pixar animation served to entertain.
Yes, this is a �What If� scenario. If I use the fictional world of movies as an example, Reign of Fire showed how an underground dig in London accidentally unleashed dormant fire breathing dragons into the modern day world. Over the next several years, Dragons became the dominant species as humans could not compete against them for supremacy in the skies, nor on land. Remnants of humanity seek shelter in castles with extensive caves against the dragons who demonstrated a sheer destructive need to ignite everything and live off ash remains. I know it was just a movie, but a separation of the two worlds caused to collide by a chance excavation was that film�s premise. It may be possible that Dinosaurs and their ecosystem remain somewhere on this world undisturbed. While the rise of mammals in a separate ecosystem is allowed to spring up, unchallenged by massive prey, flourish, develop technological advances and become modern day man as we know it. Then somehow these two worlds collide, the flood gates open and hence we have a new Pixar film. It could be that simple and Pixar might just dodge the changes in ecosystems altogether and spontaneously put both species together.
The legend of the infamous Loch Ness Monster is one that still baffles. In the lake of the Scottish Highlands there is thought to be an extinct sea creature who occasionally surfaces but lives so deep within the loch. The Nessie legend goes way back and it is hypothesized to be a form of Plesiosaur. There have been many hoaxes and well staged photographs. But again �What If�. And with Nessie, here is a real life example in our world.
Yes, the above synopsis does not contain mention of humans. As I previously mentioned, my source is slashfilm �blogging the reel world� and I repost:
This article mentions that a progressive studio like Pixar animations has already allowed its creative engineers to field research the badlands of South Dakota for dino-stuff. No doubt to draw their inspiration from real life experiences and encounters with the fossil record. This good research is trademark with the quality of Pixar films to date.
Hence my suppositions and working with what is being presented to us, we know the two dominant species will get together on film. The fun will be the how and why.
on April 25th, 2012 at 3:29:36 PM
All I have to say on the matter is that the Loch Ness monster is entirely a hoax which in general started with a surgeon planting a fakery on the lake and snapping a grainy photo. People saw and believed what they wanted, and someone suggesting it might be a pleisosaur only added to the nonsense, as sonar has repeatedly shown there to be no large lifeforms throughout the loch.
And no offense, but there's no chance dinosaurs remain anywhere on the globe, as with extensive LANDSAT imaging and Google Earth, they would have been found long ago.
But hey, if you want to see where evolution took the dinosaurs, the only remaining living breathing dino-anything, just look outside your window and into a nearby tree.
Furthermore, Reign of Fire is just one of those movies I've mentioned, one that operates not on logic or thought, but cheap gimmick. Some guy said, "hey, I want to have people battling dragons in modern cities", so he came up with this contrived, silly way to make it happen. Doesn't matter if the story that makes it happen is entirely inane and insulting to a lunch box's IQ.
And here with PIXAR we have a guy fascinated with dinosaurs since his childhood making a film featuring a boy and a dino, and that's fine, I'm sure it'll make it an entertaining film, as I said and you agreed, but just don't expect people, and that includes educated children, to not go wtf when they see large sauropods playing with human children.
(I'm also sure Dinosaurs will be a huge hut with those Westboro Baptist nuts, though.)
on April 25th, 2012 at 3:30:57 PM
I'm sorry, I said Dinosaurs when the title is actually The Good Dinosaur.

Di de los muertos is f*cking visually AWESOME. Candy skulls and colorful skeletons coming form the grave to visit their prodigy. My ticket is SOLD.
on April 25th, 2012 at 4:04:41 PM
I agree that Pixar needs to change up its CGI style. Disney did it to great success with Sleeping Beauty. Watching Rango I was struck as to how UN-PIXAR everything looked. It was so visually refreshing. Just as 2d animation from other studio's still looked disney-ish, 3D animated movies all look to be aping pixar. I think the first shrek was the first 3D animated film where I noticed that it wasn't trying to look like Pixar. I felt that visually Rango was very striking. I hope Pixar branches out into a similar vein of visual creativity.
on April 25th, 2012 at 5:53:50 PM
Hollywood needs more Dinosaurs. I can't stress that enough. Dinosaurs and Jason Statham. Dinosaurs, Jason Statham, and Peter Dinklage. Put those together and you have 2014's next big summer hit. Throw a mostly nude Olivia Wilde in the mix, and the opportunities are endless. The Untitled Mind Film sounds promising.
on April 25th, 2012 at 6:32:18 PM
Hope the money doesnt get to their heads. Come on pixar! Its been quality first all these years and thats why you have succeeded! Dont ruin it...

With his ankle healed, Corey Davis finally is on the field with the Titans.
The first-round pick joined team drills this week, and Titans coach Mike Mularkey estimated Davis took "40 to 50 snaps" during the offensive periods.
"[He's looked] pretty good," Mularkey said via Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com. "There's some things, just because he hasn't taken a lot of reps, he's made a couple of mistakes mentally. But I attribute that a lot to not practicing live. To me, that is the best way to learn something. But I have been pleased."
Davis underwent surgery early in the offseason, missing working out for teams during the pre-draft process. The Titans still made him a first-round pick.
He caught 331 passes for 5,278 yards and 52 touchdowns in his career at Western Michigan.

What's not to love about a Sunday morning? The slow awakening, the lingering in bed, staying in pajamas until we feel like it, the breakfasts……Oh the breakfasts are the BEST part of my Sunday morning!
During the week my breakfast is the same every morning: Oatmeal with berries and cinnamon and 5 egg whites with spinach and avocado. I follow my clean-eating meal plan pretty strictly during the week so on Sundays I like to mix it up a little bit and take my time in the kitchen. Cooking in pajamas is sexy, right?
I still want my protein and carbs but every once in awhile I will have a delicious buckwheat waffle or pancakes as a treat. Or maybe even a mimosa if it's a very special Sunday.
Today I made a lovely, high protein, chicken, spinach, and feta cheese omelette. I started by placing 1 cut up grilled chicken breast in a heated skillet.
I used 10 eggs, but only 3 yolks. This was for 2 people. Just typing this I realize how much food we put away together. You may not want/need 10…..
Add about 1 and 1/2 cups baby spinach to chicken and stir over medium heat just until spinach begins to wilt.
Add egg mixture, black pepper, garlic granules and cover to steam for 5 minutes.
Add crumbled feta cheese and re-cover. I only used about 1/3 cup. I use cheese very sparingly, if at all. It's a treat and not something that I need in my daily food intake.
Flip omelette over after edges begin to brown and firm up.
Cook thoroughly with pan covered until firm and fluffy!
I served this with sliced white and sweet potatoes browned in coconut oil- YUM!

Nut & Bolt Frame-Off Restoration! Date Code Correct 228ci I6, Trans. & Rear End!
1952 GMC Pickup
The previous owner of this '52 pickup bought the truck in Colorado for a full blow restoration he'd wanted to do for a while. He finished the full nut & bolt, frame-off restoration about 4 or 5 years ago and did all the work himself. Once finished, he'd only driven it about 200 or 300 miles each year for the past five years and now wants to move onto something else. This '52 GMC is extremely clean, no matter where you pick to examine. Everything on it is stock and date code correct, which means everything very well could have been born with the car.

Projects - Spotlight:

Projects - Past:
Client:DCI Properties LLC
Location:Chuckanut Lane
Jurisdiction:Whatcom County
Property size: 12,000 square feet
Project Description: The Chuckanut Bay Eco Demonstration Project is a demolition and reconstruction of a single-family home located on the waterfront on Chuckanut Bay.
Details:The Chuckanut Bay Eco Demonstration Project includes the demolition of an existing single-family residence located on the waterfront on Chuckanut Bay and the reconstruction of a new single-family home on the same lot. The existing home was built in the 1940's and was not salvageable. The proposed home attempts to incorporate as many ecologically sound development techniques as possible, including removal of a portion of the existing bulkhead and replacement with natural beach, green roof, native landscaping, a pervious driveway, geothermal heat pumps, stormwater management consistent with the DOE Puget Sound LID Manual, passive solar and other design features.
Due to the waterfront location of the property, the small size of the lot (12,000 square feet in a minimum 20,000 square foot zone) and the existing conditions (bulkhead, setback encroachments, lots of impervious surfaces), the planning and permitting for this project were very complex and required special attention to site and building design details. AVT Consulting participated as a project team member during the design phase, prepared the required Shoreline Conditional Use Permit and Building Permit and acted as owner representative during the planning and permitting phase. The project has been permitted and construction is on going. AVT Consulting has remained on the project team to coordinate with the general contractor and ensure compliance with permit conditions, as well as consult with the owner on additional opportunities to reduce environmental impacts during the construction process.

The Taiwanese manufacturer EnGenius is probably not as well-known for everyone, but they've been around for a while on the router market. We tested three wireless models from this brand, the ESR-300H, ESR-600H en ESR-750H.
Like their names suggest, these are three routers that each offer something different in the wireless department. The ESR-300H is a single-band model can reach 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, the ESR-600H can do that on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, while the ESR-750H can do 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 450 Mbps on 5 GHz.
You can see from the outside that the three models are related to each other. The ESR-600H and the ESR-750H basically have the same casing. The ESR-300H is smaller than the other two, but has the exact same design. The prices do differ quite a bit, however. The ESR-300H is the cheapest with a price of around £60, the ESR-600H costs an average of £140, and the ESR-750H costs about £180.

Best of the Blog 2012: Digital Ministry, Pastoral Transition, and Church Leadership
2012 was the most challenging and gratifying in my professional career. I published my first book, left one call and accepted another, and relocated our family of six from Boston to Philadelphia. It was a great year to be blogging to document it all.
What I've learned about blogging is that one does not only write a blog to process the present moment, but also to observe how one's own perspective, style, and interests evolve over time.
I blog, in part, to discover what I'm interested in, what seems worth writing about, and to chip away at larger ideas and challenges in 1000 words or less. In short, in blogging, like all writing, I suppose, the thing you learn the most about is yourself.
So, in a new a new tradition (drum roll) here's the best of my blog, 2102 edition:
Here's the 2012 edition of the blog in raw numbers:
- 48 posts
- 36,134 visits, of which 25,670 were new
- from 25,727 unique visitors
- who viewed 57,583 pages on the blog
Top five posts:
- What Young Clergy Want You To Know, which went completely viral, resonating with young and seasoned clergy alike, garnering over 1100 Facebook likes
- 10 Commandments for Church Websites, pulling together my best advice on web design for churches
- Five Ways Church Members Can Participate in Digital Ministry, a "priesthood of all believers" look at social media for evangelism and ministry
- Pastors, Stop Complaining About Sunday Morning Sports, with sports being symbolic of the loss of privilege clergy experience in our culture
- Should Pastors Remain Facebook Friends With Former Parishioners?, one of the persistent question among ministry leaders

Wedge hairstyle is a classic short haircut that looks universally flattering on all hair types. Wedge haircuts and hairstyles inspired thousands of women to head to the salon to get her signature haircut. It gives your hair a balanced and an everyday elegant look without being too casual. These classic wedge haircut is a great idea for straight and slightly curly hair.
Here are the best ideas of the classic short haircuts, select one of the beautiful hair pictures and try a fresh haircut for yourself.
Side-Parted Blonde Bob
Wedge hairstyles are set apart with longer pieces throughout the top and short layers in the back. Despite the fact, there is a bit of a set formula, you still can have a ton of fun and make the look your own. A shorter area above one ear is an edgy awry detail that will help you stand out.
The New Bob
A bob haircut is a must-have haircut of the year. From famous celebrities to grade school girls, everybody is trading in long locks for a flattering short cut. Instead of mixing in with everyone else, separate yourself with some uniquely well-placed highlights and an angled style.
Colorful Comb Over
With short haircuts it can be difficult to get some additional volume if you have fine strands. A long layered blasts and deep-seated side part will lift your style and give you natural-looking body.
Red Hot
Those who truly required more weight should try a more extreme angle. The shorter layers in the back of the head will create more weight and make your style look fuller. With all of this weight, you will need a splendid shading throughout the top to break up the density.
Go for Gold
If you want a hairstyle that is easy to maintain yet still looks fashionable, this is the cut for you. It can be really difficult to pull off really light hair with fair skin, so ensure that your style with bold brows and a touch of eyeliner so that your features don't get washed out. Not all wedge hairstyles have to be cut at extreme angles or intensely layered.
Too Cool for School
This hairstyle is James Dean inspired style borrowed from the boys. The messy brushed back texture throughout the crown is cool and sexy, without trying too hard; styling drop earrings will make your face pop.
Rich Pixie
This haircut may not look like your typical wedge haircut, but that's the beauty of it. While it seems like a pixie, the stacked layers throughout the crown and the soft sweeping bangs make it different and unique. This haircut is perfect for those women who have long faces who need a subtle-yet-stylish hairdo.
Balayage and Tousled Strands
A stacked transformed cut is just perfect for women with fine hair because it creates thickness allthrough the crown of the head. Balayage highlights makes a feeling of weightlessness in the front of the style so that it doesn't seem excessively thick.
Delicate and Sassy
A bowl cut can seem scary and it may not be well suited for all face shapes. But, that doesn't mean that you have to avoid it- simply change it to make it work for you. Long side-swept smacks and a few layers will provide angles and structure to round faces.
Maroon Maven
A perfect shape, lovely texture, dazzling composition and beautiful color shading make a head-turning hairstyle. It's all about the master layering and strategically placed angles, enhanced by a beautiful hue.

I missed Rob scoring his 50th in the last game of last season when he scored his second of the game. He ended the season leading scorer with 17. Then with the first game of this season he made his 50th appearance for the club.
Rob made his debut as a 15-year old back in 2010, playing the last 15 minutes of a 5-1 defeat to Bawdsey Freight. He did not return until the start of the 2013/2014 season assiting two goals on his second debut. He would end the season with 19 goals, a division winners medal and the Player of the Season.
With the stepping up in quality for Playford, so Rob stepped up too, he scored 14 in 16 games and was again second to Rene Swann by one goal for leading scorer. He was awarded the Manager's Player of the Season.
Rob has scored two hat-tricks, including as well as ten braces.
