Let Columbia Southern University help you change your community with an MBA in...
More than four months after rookie State Trooper David Kedra was killed in a Montgomery County training exercise, authorities on Tuesday identified and charged his shooter - an experienced instructor - with reckless endangerment.
The charged officer, who is a 20-year veteran of the state police and has been a firearms instructor for over a decade, could face up to 10 years in prison.
The grand jury report that recommended the charges also delivered answers to many of the questions that have surrounded Kedra's death, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The charged officer, it said, had been conducting training sessions as the department switched from a Glock to a Sig Sauer handgun.
On Sept. 30, Kedra, 26, was one of five troopers sitting around a table at the Public Safety Training Campus in Plymouth Township.
"[The charged officer] was discussing the trigger mechanics when he pulled the trigger on his duty-issued firearm," the District Attorney's Office and the state police said in a joint statement.
The weapon fired, and a bullet struck Kedra in the abdomen. He died about an hour later at a trauma center in Philadelphia.

I've seen some stupid gun-handling but this takes the cake. What the h..k is he doing even clearing leather in that environment with a good reason?
kevCopAz @ 2/12/2015 7:56 PM
extremely sad, two cops careers end, one with death. I have told myself consistently throughout my 32+ year career that one never should get so familiar with a weapon that you lose the fear of that weapon harming you unless you treat it as always loaded. I know I have extreme views on this, but even when I unloaded a weapon I never pointed it at anything "that I didn't want to shoot" as I was taught by fire arms instructors when I was a rookie as Im sure many if not all of us were taught. The old saying that "familiarity breeds contempt" may apply to a small degree. Im sad to say that the officer who killed the other officer should know that better then any of us as an instructor, but then one gets so used to a "tool" that one forgets safety and that "it can happen to me". Im sad for both officers.
Jon LEO Retired @ 2/12/2015 8:23 PM
Oh my. It sounds like the instructor forgot to double check to make sure the gun was in fact unloaded. What a Tragedy!
PoPo @ 2/13/2015 6:25 AM
Well said KevCopAz, being too familiar with your sidearm makes you overly confident and thus less afraid of the business end and more apt to ignore the basics. Hard lesson is learned, and hopefully we all learn from this tragedy.Start with the premise that the gun is always loaded regardless if it is in pieces being cleaned, or in your holster, and the business end is always pointed in a safe direction unless you intend to use it. The Basics are taught for a reason. 20 years on the job is reduced to less than a second of error in judgment and a young life lost.
Ken Lewis @ 2/14/2015 7:37 AM
Tragic and preventable! The other three troopers need to share the grief and responsibility; they failed to enforce basic safety. EVERYONE is in charge of safety. All three should have attacked the safety issues of the muzzle was clearly not pointed in a safe direction at all times, and not verifying Clear and Safe condition. Not inclusive, but lets start here.
Ima Leprechaun @ 2/15/2015 12:44 AM
Sad for them both.

Finlay Associates: Fraud Examination
Risk Management
While the risk of fraud in your organization is high, some activities have a higher risk associated with them than others. Let Finlay & Associates fraud risk management advisors offer you the essential advice you need to prevent and detect fraud in all your high-risk activities.
Prevention Controls
Having identified the risks, and weaknesses in your organization we will use our experience to design and implement, systems and procedures to minimize the risk of fraud. This could include; Fraud Policy, Conflict of Interest Disclosures, Whistle blowing Policy and the setting up of a Hot Line to allow your employees a means of disclosing information which may be relevant to any investigation.
Fraud Training
Your staff are the eyes and ears of your organization. Without them you cannot possibly hope to minimize the risk of fraud. We can teach them what to look for so they can help you defeat the fraudster. We can provide interactive computer based programs that will teach the basics of fraud schemes.
Fraud Examination
If your company has, or you think you may have, been a victim of fraud, our staff can examine your records and prepare and build a case for litigation should you wish to proceed to secure a conviction.
All the evidence suggests that your organization could be more at risk to an incidence of fraud than ever before. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2010 Report to the Nation, 5 percent of revenues will be lost this year to fraudulent activity. The time to act is now before your company becomes the next victim. Let us examine your systems and procedures from the fraudsters' viewpoint, and provide you with an assessment of your vulnerability to fraud.
Charity and Non-Profit Fraud and Abuse
Finlay & Associates will provide your organization with innovative and specialized services designed to improve your organization's defenses against fraud and abuse.
Several facts have become quite apparent in recent years:
1. Nonprofit organizations are clearly not immune from the rising incidence of occupational fraud and abuse
2. Audits by Chartered Accounting firms, even those of the highest quality, provide very limited protection against fraud
3. Protecting an organization against fraud before it happens and active, ongoing monitoring for fraud and abuse have become of paramount importance in today's environment
Donors, members, funding sources, and others expect more of today's nonprofit organizations. Gone are the days when the public felt sorry for nonprofits that became the victims of fraudsters. Now, nonprofits are criticized for not taking appropriate steps to protect their valuable resources from fraud and abuse. Some nonprofits have been punished twice for failing to prevent fraud - once by the fraudster and once by the general public, through its termination of support for an organization that doesn't protect itself from such a common act of wrongdoing.
Don't wait for fraud to strike before you take action to protect your organization!
There have been a lot of high profile cases in the news. This has had a devastating affect in the Charity and Non-Profit sector.
What is your organization doing to protect itself from fraud and abuse?
Finlay & Associates offer some of the most important services available to your organization in its fight against fraud and abuse.
We offer anti-fraud services in all three critical phases of fraud protection:
1. Fraud Check Up - analyzing and improving all of your organization's systems as they related to preventing, detecting, and deterring fraud and abuse.
2. Monitoring - A specialized form of internal auditing devoted to periodic or ongoing evaluation of organizational compliance with anti-fraud policies and analysis of data for signs of fraudulent activity.
3. Investigation - If fraud or abuse is suspected or alleged, our team of specialists can perform all of the investigative services necessary to maximize your recovery of lost resources and litigate against the perpetrators.
See below for more details on each of these specialized services.
Fraud Check Up
Our Fraud Protection Improvement services involve three important and inter-related elements:
1. A detailed analysis of all anti-fraud practices, systems, and policies, resulting in recommendations for and/or development of, improved policies and other defenses against fraud
2. Training of board members, senior management, department heads and supervisors, and other personnel in anti-fraud skills appropriate for each person's position
3. Assistance in implementation of revised anti-fraud practices, systems, and polices, including documentation of enhancements to all policies and other implementation assistance
Fraud protection is NOT exclusively an element of financial controls.
It involves many other important functions, such as:
· Human resources
· Information technology
· Physical security
· Insurance
· Board oversight
Keep in mind –- an audit conducted by your external Accounting firm provides very limited assurance regarding detection of fraud and NO assurance regarding the organization's protection against future frauds. The study of internal controls done as part of an audit is limited to gaining a limited understanding of a handful of internal controls in order to be able to plan the audit. Many audits involve no testing of whether internal controls are operating as planned, and those audits that do include testing of internal controls typically involve very limited quantities of transactions.
The bottom line is simple - auditing and protecting against fraud are two very different functions.
Our Fraud Protection Improvement service will culminate in a series of recommendations for improvements to all of your organization's systems involved in defending against fraud, along with appropriate training and implementation guidance.
Managing the risk of workplace fraud and abuse is an ongoing process - not a single step that can periodically be performed and updated. We offer a fraud risk-based monitoring service that will focus on compliance with all fraud-related policies, as well as ongoing re-assessments of your organization's self-defense systems.
A 2010 report on fraud issued by the Association of Certified fraud Examiners found that the average fraud scheme lasted 18 months before being detected. Our experience with nonprofit organizations indicates that many frauds in the nonprofit sector last even longer before they are detected. If that time period can be reduced, the total amount lost to fraud is reduced and the chances for recovery of any funds lost to fraud improves dramatically. The keys to reducing this time period are improving your defenses against fraud and improving your monitoring activities to detect fraud.
That's where we can help. Unlike traditional internal auditing, which is broader in focus, our monitoring services focus exclusively on occupational fraud and abuse. Monitoring services are typically provided on a periodic basis throughout the year - most commonly quarterly.
Even in the most secure environment, attempts at embezzlement or other fraud may occur. As expert fraud investigators, we can handle all aspects of the investigation into suspected acts of fraud and abuse in a manner that maximizes your likelihood of successful litigation and or recovery of lost resources. In addition to assessing the total amount lost to fraud, we can build the case for your recovery of lost funds.
Call Finlay & Associates today at (905) 870-1832 for further details about how we can help improve your organization's defenses against fraud and abuse.

I professed my love for fall in my last post 10 Dessert Recipes for Fall and shared some sweet treats that are sure to get you in the mood for the changing season. Not only do I love fall, but I love what the fall brings, football!! I am from Western PA, and football is a big deal around here. Friday night football games at the local high school, Saturdays filled with an endless stream of college games, and the weekend culminates with watching the Steelers (or your pro team of choice) play. Football itself is entertaining, but I love the comradery of it. Football fans love to get together to cheer on their favorite teams and you cannot have a get together without food, and in my opinion, the best football food is dip! Hot dip, cold dip, salsa, guacamole, I don't discriminate, they are all good! So let's just get on to it here…I think the cheesy, creamy, dreamy photos of these fantastic dips speak for themselves!

A mobile app can increase revenue, customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, social media engagement, visit frequency to your location, and can have many other benefits. The opportunities created by apps for small businesses are valuable and extraordinarily cost-effective.
In addition, mobile technology is growing very quickly, and is already overtaking desktop computing in many places. If you want to connect with your customers, mobile is fast-becoming the most popular channel available.
iOS apps – that work on Apple devices like iPhones and iPads
Android apps – that work on Samsung, Google, HTC, and other devices
Mobile Websites (HTML5) – that work on almost any device with a mobile browser
(I'm embarrassed to ask, but what's an "app?")
Once upon a time, a mobile phone just made calls. Now, only the most basic mobile phones are call-only. Instead, modern smartphones are powerful mini-computers that can run programs called "apps."
When your business puts out an app, customers can download it to their smartphone and interact with your business on the go. They can perform whatever functions you choose, from simple things to looking up your phone number, location, or upcoming events, to more complicated things like submitting orders or sending a message to a customer service rep.
Online orders have been found to be up to 25% larger! This includes orders submitted through apps. Mobile users also submit orders more frequently.
Mobile coupons are redeemed at 10x the rate of print coupons.
70% of people contact a business after a mobile search, but almost half will head to a competing site if the mobile experience is poor.
They increase customer satisfaction. Mobile apps, especially those that include loyalty programs, keep customers happy, which increases customer retention and referral rates.
Loyalty programs can increase sales by 20% or more!
They increase social media engagement. By making it easy to post about your business to social media platforms, you make it more likely that a customer will do so. This can turn customers into brand promoters, and help boost revenue.
Push notifications have been found to lead to a 30% increase in social media engagement.
They help you compete. Customers have come to expect mobile interaction from almost every business. By offering an app or mobile website, you can get ahead of competitors that do not.
20% of quick-service restaurants already have online ordering, and the number is climbing. Don't get left behind!
They increase operational efficiency. By letting customers submit orders or customer service requests through your app, you can cut down on phone time for your team members and streamline operations. You can also track activity more easily and find areas to improve.
Some restaurants are now getting a third of online reservations from mobile users.
They increase brand loyalty. Having a direct and regular connection channel to customers deepens the bonds between them and your business, boosting loyalty. Mobile loyalty programs increase this even further.
In short, mobile technology is surprisingly powerful and can generate a wealth of opportunities for small businesses.
Submission to the app store(s) of your choice
Lifetime support and maintenance of your app
Regular updates and improvements to your app
A powerful CMS account to update your app, instantly, at any time
And more!
Around ten days.
Once created, we will submit your app to the iTunes App Store or Android Market (as applicable) within 48 hours. It then takes about a week to gain approval. In the highly unlikely event that your app is rejected, we will work with you to make the necessary changes. With PocketApp Builder, approval is guaranteed.

Str8 Fitness Trainer Hayden Slams into Tom's hole!
Sun 19th Sep 2010
Str8 hunk Hayden is back and today it just him and Tom; his first shoot where he is by himself to fuck a gay boys ass! He has "tag-teamed" his asses before this so he claims to be nervous! So Tom breaks him in gently and is quick to pull down Hayden's jeans, he is wearing no boxers so Tom dives in for some str8 cock! After sucking his cock Tom gets Hayden into a great position so he can dive down and rim his ass! Rim he does; he probes deep into Hayden's hole who whimpers in pleasure! Hayden is soon slipping his cock into Tom's tight hole, who once in rhythm pushes back and gobbles as much of Hayden as he can! Hayden responds by slamming in and out like a rabbit, warming up Tom's ass so he is soon dumping his load. Hayden then unloads all over Tom.

Cattle herd growth solution
Kumbia cattle producers Ian and Megan Barbour, Holly Park in Queensland's South Burnett area wanted to grow their cattle herd without expanding land size.
Kumbia cattle producers Ian and Megan Barbour, Holly Park in Queensland's South Burnett area wanted to grow their cattle herd without expanding land size.
The solution came with the development of a $100,000 malted barley seed fodder factory and internal irrigation system installed two years ago.
"The malted barley is the same stuff they make beer out of and it's great to produce a nutritious fodder source for cattle," Mr Barbour said.
The ongoing issue of consistently maintaining the genetics of their breeding herd motivated a need for an ongoing, good quality feed source.
"We value the genetics in our breeder herd and selling out cows during dry times wasn't an attractive option for us," Mr Barbour said.
The financial investment in the fodder system also was the most cost effective way for the family to expand their cattle herd numbers.
They run Angus/Angus-cross cows and have been able to retain more heifers due to the fodder system, with a 58 per cent increase of their breeding herd over two years.
"It also gives us more stability in marketing our weaner cattle since we can maintain them on fodder feed if the market prices drop of a short period of time or grow the cattle out to a new weight category," Mr Barbour said.
The fodder factory has been shut down since October last year after good rainfall across their property, but recent heatwaves may result in the Barbour family recommencing fodder growing by March.
"Despite a rainfall of about seven inches over Spring and Summer, the fodder factory will most likely restart so we can maintain our breeding cattle," Mr Barbour said.
"Another three to four weeks of hot weather conditions with no rain and the fodder factory will be up and running again."
They generally try of grow the cow's prodigy out to feeder weight after weaning to between 320 and 400 kilograms, plus market majority of their cattle through Dalby Saleyards.
"Last year we kept our feeder cattle a little bit longer because the prices had dropped slightly at the time we normally sell," Mr Barbour said.
"We are working our herd towards straight Angus cows due to the premium price we've achieve for our type of cattle operation."
The Barbour family also purchase higher quality performance bulls.

Just some of OUR great results………..
All before and after images on this page are of clients treated at CleanSkins Laser Clinic Warrnambool!
Suffer from acne? Tried everything? We can help with that!
We treated this 15 year old with 3 take home Dermaviduals skin products only. Prior to coming to us she was using Dove soap and skincare products from another beauty salon, neither of which were helping. After her skin consultation we didn't recommend she commence with any in-clinic treatments, as the severity of her condition didn't warrant it. She will still have the odd breakout, but as you can see her skin barrier is a lot healthier now. We see teenagers and adults with acne on a regular basis. In most cases we are able to reduce their breakouts purely with a good holistic home care routine. Depending on the severity we can introduce in-clinic treatments that specifically target acne and are clinically proven to reduce mild to moderate conditions.
The 1st step to healthier skin is a skin consultation, it takes us an hour, we use our knowledge as well as state of the art diagnostic equipment.

THE field of 48 players for February's Dutch Darts Masters has been confirmed following the Host Nation & European Qualifiers.
The year's first of ten PDC European Tour events, each worth £115,000 in prize money, will be played at the Evenementenhal in Venray from February 12-14.

New beads in my shop
Thursday evening
I have restocked my shop! There are 8 new beautiful sets of beads for you to buy, 4 with a distinct pink Valentines theme going on, especially the dotty heart set. You can email me to buy and I'll send you a Paypal invoice in return, and the good news is that you don't need to have a Paypal account to shop this way. I also opened a Flickr account this week and have already started uploading my hugely ginormous back catalogue of sold and unsold bead photos to my album. There's lots of work to do there as I only have a measly 9 photos in so far, but I may well get his geekness involved in helping me here since he loves doing this sorta thang so much.
As for the photos of snow on my mobile that I was going to upload here on Monday, well, it's official, it's not techno-fear. Rick tried for several hours to get them off my phone card but to no avail, they's really gotten stuck! It would appear to be a problem with Picasa so we now have that to fix also. Honestly there's so many things here that need doing or fixing, but at least I'm starting to succeed a little way with my new years resolutions, one of those was to update my shop more regularly, and ta da, I've done it once this year! Another was to put more photos in my beadlog here, well you can't say I haven't tried. So to make up for the lack of snow pics I'll stuff in a couple of bead pics instead to give you a taster of what's new in my shop.

I feel lately that I've been picking on Morocco. Sure, their government's oppressing the Saharawis, but I'd be sad if someone was nasty to Americans because of our government's policies. Just to show that I think the Moroccan people themselves are pleasant and probably, deep down, want a free Western Sahara, here's a fun fact about Morocco: it was the first country to recognize the United States.
In 1777, Morocco promised the Sultan's protection for America shipping, marking the first diplomatic recognition of the United States as an independent country.
I first heard this at the National Clergy Council luncheon, but I didn't believe it (apparently, you can't believe everything the NNC tells you). Wikipedia jumped to confirm the NCC's assertion, though.
It was lovely for Morocco to recognize the United States.

An Interview With Waltz With Bashir Animation Director Yoni Goodman
Waltz With Bashir) is a pioneer in many ways. The film was one of the first (along with $9.99) feature films emanating from Israel to be released in theaters. Beyond that, Bashir, a 2D animated film, was produced primarily with Adobe Flash, a medium that is typically reserved for television and internet projects. Of late, many Flash features have been emerging, but none (save perhaps Sita Sings the Blues) have been praised to this degree.
Yoni Goodman, the film's animation director, took some time between award shows to answer a few questions.
AARON SIMPSON: What has been the best part of the international praise the film has received?
AARON: Looking back at the original 2005 pitch short?
YONI: Mainly, we got better at it (laughing).
AARON: What was the goal of the pitch?
YONI: One was to get the budget for the movie, the other was to check how three minutes would hold using this technique. I had quite a lot of prior experience with complex cutouts, but this one was by far the most complex I've ever worked with. David Polonsky and I were the only crew members working on the pitch (except for a two or three shots, where I was aided by Tal Gadon) and we had only three extremely sleepless weeks to get it done from scratch. So a few parts of the pitch didn't meet the later we established later on. These shots were repaired and most of the pitch is actually in the movie.
AARON: How did your process evolve by the end of the production?
YONI: We learned a lot from doing the pitch, but it was only when we got into full production that we got really better at the technique. One of our big decisions hinged on how much should we break a character: how many pieces, how complex, what is a better hierarchy system, stuff like that. The crew had to go through a very tough first 20 minutes of the film before things went really smoothly.
The funny thing is, for all it's faults, when Ari would go and get more money from investors, the original pitch was still the thing that got people's attention.
AARON: Which version of Flash did you use on the project?
YONI: When we worked on the pitch we used Flash MX, and we had to convert each shape to a symbol, which made the tracing very slow. We were very happy when the drawing object feature appeared!
AARON: Once an illustrator had finished the artwork for a particular scene, explain the process of preparing that layout for animation.
YONI: Once an illustration was complete (mostly by David, he illustrated something like 80% of the movie), the image was imported to Flash, traced and broken into pieces. The sliced pieces would then be converted to symbols and set in their appropriate hierarchies. Then we would place the sound and the animatic inside the file (after the animatic was done, we sliced the sound according to the shot's length, that way we knew when it was supposed to end in the FLA). The animatic was placed as reference for timing and acting in a guide layer, and then the animation process began. The first part, moving the main symbols, requires some skill, because things never look completely right – joints are usually breaking and the movement looks very stiff.
Once the main symbols are done, we went into the secondary hierarchy to animate each symbol and compensate for the stiffness, creating a smoother look for the animation. Usually you work in and out, back and forth – sometimes correcting the main symbols after you are done with the inner hierarchy, then going inside and adjusting the new positions. It sounds terribly complicated, and in a way it really is, but still, to get that very fine clean movement, it's a lot faster (and easier to correct) then traditional animation.
At the end of it all, I think there were less than 10 percent of the film was traditionally animated. The only scene that was fully created using traditional animation was the waltz scene.
AARON: It sounds like very little CGI animation was employed in the film, but many sequences appear to have so much depth. Do people often mistake the animation for CGI?
YONI: A few month ago I went to Annecy film festival, where Waltz with Bashir was the opening movie, and in my speech, as part of my ongoing campaign to deny the rotoscope rumors, I said "this movie has no rotoscoping in it" (my animators asked me to say it). Later on, someone told me there was a rumour that it was all done in CGI. So much for fighting rumours. We had very few shots (10 or so) in which we used Maya, but that was mainly for camera movements. There was no actual modeling, except for a ship and a few houses in the snow which you can see with a very good telescope.
I think most combinations between 2D and 3D animation don't work so well, and we really tried to make the 3d environment as flat looking as we possibly could. We just placed the Flash animated sequences on flat planes in the 3D environment and moved a camera through them so we could get a depth-of-field feeling. We also got to a point where people mistook very complex Flash cutouts for CGI. For instance, the scene where the tanks are squashing cars, but these parts were all done in Flash. We didn't do animation in any other software (unless you regard the explosions as animation. These were done in After Effects).
AARON: How else did you use After Effects on the project?
YONI: Every shot in the movie was exported as PNG files and rebuilt in Adobe After Effects. The smoke, explosions and simple camera movements in the movie are all done in AFX. We also used grains and filters to avoid the vector look Flash usually gives.
AARON: During the production, did your team "sweatbox" scenes – or were scenes reviewed in smaller teams?
YONI: Ari already finished the interviews before we began the animation production, then he edited them to a 96 minutes video. After he was done, we sat together, Ari, David and myself, and watched the video, breaking it down to storyboards, deciding which part would be a "talking head" scene, which would be a recreation and which would be a fantasy scene. Ari had a rough idea of what he wanted, but he was very open to suggestions and we had our free say. I would say the construction of the film was a team effort of the three of us (with Ari, of course, having the final say). My team often had suggestions of how we could do things differently and we changed the storyboard many times if a better idea emerged. Eventually, I think every team member has his/her mark on the film.
AARON: Was there a significant amount of final animation that didn't make the final cut?
YONI: Luckily, no. We had major two scenes deleted, but they were both in animatic, with no real animation. One of those was actually completely designed and ready to go, but we cut it right before we started.
AARON: With all of the various pieces that went into each element, did the software ever strain under the weight of your production?
YONI: As we used highly-detailed symbols with lots of inner-hierarchies, the more you got into the nested timelines, the heavier the FLA would become. Some work files got to a point where they could not be opened on a computer with less than 4 GB of RAM. This is actually the main reason why we only worked with one shot per FLA, and no shot over 40 seconds per FLA, otherwise it would crash the software or make it impossible to work with.
Flash is a sort of a blessing and a curse all at once. It's a format I find very handy, very easy to produce high quality animation, and it's very easy to correct and fix animations (once you learn how to build the file correctly), but at the same time, it still has the "internet animation software" attitude to it. I always feel like I'm abusing the software by doing things it wasn't designed to do, and it's a shame, because I feel it can do so much more. I've been using Flash since version 4, and it doesn't seem like there have been many improvements in the broadcast field. I actually think Flash MX was much better at handling heavy files and high-rez exports than any other version that came after it.
I have many ideas, and I also read many thoughts (in your site as well) how to improve Flash in that aspect. I think Flash needs to evolve into a broadcast-quality-specific animation software, perhaps as a separate "Flash-based" software that uses all of it's features but is strong enough to handle the strain. Ari Folman once tried to approach Macromedia (they were the owners then) after we finished "the material that love is made of" and the pitch to present some of our thoughts but they sort of snubbed him out of the building. I would be really happy if they decided to improve the software in that direction.
AARON: How did you celebrate the wrap of the production?
YONI: We went out and got seriously drunk. We had a tradition in the studio – with every 20 minutes of animation we finished (actually, every major event – animatic, 20 minutes, final wrap, going to Cannes, the premiere), the entire crew would go get drunk. Our producer, Yael Nahlieli, would get these insane deals, where she only paid for food but the whiskey was for free, and by the end of the night we would have finished 10-12 bottles of Jamesons. Pretty soon we were banned from most of the pubs in Tel Aviv.
AARON: Would you both look forward to animating with this particular process again?
YONI: I am actually trying to develop a new technique for our next film. It will probably be Flash-based, but I want to use more traditional animation and possibly a different look (we already did this one in Bashir )
AARON: Give us an idea of what the animation community in Israel is like.
YONI: Israel has a fairly small but talented animation community. The jobs available are mainly on short clips, commercials and kids TV series. There's not enough money available for high profile projects but it's something that's growing year-by-year.
The market is beginning to understand how complicated and costly an animation production is, so nowadays when someone wants an animation project they know what they're getting in to. When we set out to do Waltz with Bashir, it was an impossible mission. Now that we are done, the same type of effort is still is an impossible mission, but if I had a tough time getting 10 extraordinarily good Flash animators, I think I can get 20 for our next project (Which will still be impossible to do, so we're very eager to start).

Whoa. I was SURE it was cel shaded 3D! My head just did what's happening in that blue picture up there.
Amazing job guys! (And yes, MX is the best!)
This film is so inspiring! Kudos to the animators that worked on this production. I saw this film in London and can't wait to watch it again on dvd.
So cool!
Haven't read an interview this good for some time.
Thanks Yoni and Aaron.
I thought it was done in Anime Studio which can achieve that look a lot easier than in Flash..

Jerusalem is a city of beige and tan, a vast barren sprawl that is, despite the brutal heat and muted colors, quite beautiful. Its odd mix of orthodoxy and modernity pair like sand and cement to create something singular and undeterrable. There's a kind of delirious, heat stroke-induced grandeur to its aesthetic uniformity, the caramel-colored homes enclosing you and the occasional swaths of trees providing much sought-after shelter from the sun, the tan and green recalling the colors of Israeli military uniforms. All of the buildings are finished with Jerusalem Stone (which is mostly made up of limestone) to marry the new to the old, to transcend date and age. A parched and pale sky settles over sun-baked façades stacked upon sandy expanses. Feet wrapped in leather sandals slap against the sidewalk and air conditioners spittle from above. "Drink water," everyone advises. At its apogee, the sun abuses unrepentantly, with cruel omnipotence, yet people persist and keep going where they're going, water bottles in hand. They are stubborn.
The golden, gleaming rotunda of the Dome of the Rock sits atop Temple Mount in Old Jerusalem like a hopeful beacon. Ancient towers jab upward, and on the surrounding rooftops television satellites accumulate, the LG logo ubiquitous. A variegated flotilla of 1,000 umbrellas hangs over Yoel Moshe Solomon Street, a narrow strip of attractive businesses, art galleries, craft shops, cafés, men smoking hand-rolled cigarettes. At the intersection, three banks face each other, as if in a standoff. In Old Jerusalem, where tourists flock, many locals come to buy groceries because they're cheaper here than in the city's modernized section. In this indolent neighborhood, with lithe cloven streets, a butcher with a cigarette tucked between his lips slaps a slab of meat against the counter for an older woman. Tour groups in khakis and baseball hats are herded along to keep foot traffic flowing. They're lead to the tourist section—more narrow alleys with stone floors now festooned with glittery trinkets and "handmade" scarves and coolers of Coca-Cola and Turkish coffee pots made in a factory somewhere. It all feels, at least to this tourist, like a place pilfered from an undefined era, one that belongs to no particular epoch. It feels as if it has been torn out of time.
The Jerusalem Film Festival, flags for which hang all over the city and dance proudly over the busy roads, white stallions rearing triumphantly on black fabric, is a curious entity, laidback yet passionate, with a dauntless focus on Israeli film history. Like the antiquarian city after which it's named, the festival is beholden to the past in a way that feels almost romantic, not so much a stubborn refusal to change but rather a reverence for tradition. Time trickles here. The past lingers on screen, like ghosts from the ancient burial sites of Old Jerusalem, the excavated catacombs and dusty cemeteries that are almost full after so many centuries. ("Now we bury people up," says Pinny, my taxi driver, swerving to avoid a jaywalker. "There's no more room. No more land in the Holy Land.") Everyone here is eager to discuss the city's history, and its future, which are inexorably bound. If there's a prominent motif that ties together all current Israeli films, it's a sense of self-exploration, a self-vivisection of Israeli and religious identity, also inexorably bound.
It's a lovely festival, with an eclectic array of titles, over 180 total, including American films like Sofia Coppola's much-written-about The Beguiled and Joshua and Ben Safdie's Good Time; several selections from the ageless Philippe Garrel and that prolific master of saki-fueled, lens-zoomed tangents, Hong Sang-soo; Oliver Laxe's Mimosas, a meditative, John Ford-inspired western reincarnated as an Islamic story of cyclical tradition; Sergei Loznitsa's misanthropic, Dostoevsky-inspired A Gentle Creature, widely panned at Cannes but, for a certain kind of masochistic cynic, sort of great in an obvious, ugly way; and, of course, a glut of Israeli films, many from neophyte or up-and-coming directors, raised and educated in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
But to really appreciate the festival, as well as the films being produced by Israel currently, one has to have some knowledge of Israeli film history. Most Westerners know little about Israeli culture, save for the few films that find overseas success (like 2014's Zero Motivation, a pleasant, enjoyable film that's almost devoid of political or social commentary, which makes it perfect for American movie theaters). This dearth of knowledge is a criticism often leveled at visiting reporters and critics, which the JFF and Jerusalem Press Club intend to rectify with an initiative to bring over critics from various countries and immerse them in local culture.
At times, it can feel to outsiders like solipsistic navel-gazing, but Israeli cinema is still relatively young—as is the country, of course. The first known film made in Israel (technically in Palestine), shot on nitrate stock in 1896, predates Israel's statehood, and is now housed in Paris, in a special nitrate-safe vault. But Israel didn't have commercial films until 1960; before that, they mainly produced propaganda and "educational" films. The introduction of European and American films was a kind of artistic liberation, and the influence of the French New Wave and American noir on their commercial films is obvious. Godard in particular had a profound influence on '60s Israeli cinema, despite his vociferous anti-Semitism—though he once said that 20th-century cinema's greatest tragedy was that there were no cameras in the concentration camps. One wonders what he would make of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, which ends with a balcony view of Jerusalem that suggests nothing less than heaven on earth.
Gilberto Tofano's Siege (originally called Matzor), a 1969 classic that was recently restored and played at this year's Cannes and had its hometown premiere at the JFF, borrows the early attitude and aesthetic of Godard at a time when the filmmaker himself was trying to shed his cool reputation and become a serious revolutionary (he failed at both). Shot in chic black and white, it recalls the blithe chutzpah of Breathless, as well as the low-key cool films of Louis Malle and meta-humor of Federico Fellini's 8 ½. Compare the insouciance of Siege to the films of Jean-Pierre Melville, for whom the JFF had a retrospective this year; a more severe, almost frugal filmmaker, he allegedly used a tape measure to make sure his reverse shots were exact, and stripped dialogue down to the marrow. Rather assiduous, at times nearly ascetic, his formal dexterity focused on the meticulous employment of minutiae as a weapon. I'm not entirely sure what, if any, connection Melville had to Jerusalem, but the festival's retrospective embodies its international appeal, its attempts to simultaneously extrapolate the underlying issues of Israeli culture while still drawing moviegoers and critics from other countries.
Israeli films were governed by the Ministry of Commerce until 1979, when they shifted to the Ministry of Culture and Sport. The country produced only six to eight films a year for most of the '80s, with little Western interest. In 1989, Israeli cinema, particularly films made in or about Jerusalem, entered a new era when two revolutionary film schools were founded, lessening Tel Aviv's sovereignty over the country's film culture. Renen Schorr, an Israeli film activist whose 1987 debut, Late Summer Blues, is one of the country's enduring classics, founded Jerusalem's Sam Spiegel School, and in the 2000s helped Israel join the European Film Academy. He also co-founded the Israel Film Fund in 1978 and the Jerusalem Film Fund in 1993.
Schorr is, like most everyone here, a vehement defender of Israel and its arts, and like most everyone here he uses the phrase "Hollywood" as shorthand for bad American movies. Speaking to a room of journalists and critics, he dismisses Sundance as a business that perennially churns out the same movies and American film schools, notably New York University, as being overpriced and closed-minded—too cerebral and dense, he insinuates, with not enough heart. He has a mantra: "The best special effect is a good story."
Films from Sam Spiegel are character- or plot-driven and overtly political, not as formally punctilious or theory-based as U.S. student films often are. The Ma'aleh Film School, on the other hand, prides itself on offering solace to aspiring filmmakers who come from religious backgrounds (there's something of a dichotomy, one laced with just-barely-discernible contempt, between the mostly secular film culture of Tel Aviv, "a bunch of young heathens," one Jerusalem-based journalist quipped, and the more "traditional" or orthodox religious folk in Jerusalem). The Ma'aleh school also pioneered the use of film as therapy in Israel, and many of the films it produces have a cathartic quality to them. They, too, focus on characters and personal realization, not formal experimentation. The personal is political and the political personal in the new generation of Israeli films, as in Israel itself.

Sony is set to release its most innovative display technology this year. With a screen thickness of well under 5mm thick, but, boasting an astounding 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (yes you read that right, one million to one), this is sure to be a benchmark for the display industry.
The technology behind it is a combination of TFT (thin film transistor) and OEL (organic electroluminescent) which are both established technologies used in a wide range of devices. This display is so thin that it can be bent by the human hand, yet it will not break. Commercial uses for this display are still undecided but according to Sony spokesman, Chisato Kitsukawa, "In the future, it could get wrapped around a lamppost or a person's wrist, even worn as clothing, or perhaps it can be put up like wallpaper." There are some obvious hurdles to overcome such as ensuring durablilty, cost and increasing size. This is sure to turn more heads when released so look forward to an update as more information become available.
I dare you to say something negative about this. Nevermind, you cannot.lol
Damn - wonder how my games will look like with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio? Ooooh -- Ahhhhhh
This is Living
For a Couple of months Maybe!
Then every other company on EARTH will be producing these types of TV's with there Tech.
Am I wrong?

How to make Spicy Beef Pies
Spicy beef pies
For these spicy beef pies I used chuck steak. This is from the fore quarter of the animal and needs a long, slow cook to make it tender, succulent and delicious. I first made a marinade and let the chunks of beef soak up the tastes for two hours in the refrigerator. Once that was done I added water to it and covered it before cooking for three hours on a low gas.
The marinade was:
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
half an onion, diced.
A good splash of olive oil.
Beef and potato mixture
Cooking the pies
I Mixed the marinade together and spread it over the beef.
After 2 hours in the fridge I covered the mixture with cold water and put it in the preheated oven at gas mark 7 or 220C. After half an hour I reduced the heat to gas mark 2, or 90 C and cooked it for 3 hours. It then came out of the oven and cooled down. I baked two potatoes, skinned them and chopped them, then added them to the mixture.
I made the pastry by boiling 100 mls of water and dissolving 75 grams of cooking margarine in it. That was poured into 225 grams of plain flour with a teaspoon of salt in it. Then it was mixed together with a fork and allowed to cool down.
It was then simple to roll out the pastry thinly, line the pie moulds and fill them with the meat and potato mixture, put the tops on and paint with milk. Bake at Gas mark 7, 220C for twenty-five minutes. If your oven is like mine and the bottoms of your pies don't get cooked through, take them out of the moulds, turn them upside down and give them another ten minutes.
I must say that the spicy beef pies were delicious.

My gorgeous pies
Spicy beef pies
I love meat pies. I will be giving this one a go, for sure. Thanks
Love pie, savory or sweet. Thanks for the recipe.
Good ideas here. The 2 hour time in the fridge to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Timing just right. Thanks.
I like the meat pies hub, looks tasty, want to try making some savory pies and this one looks easy enough to try for a starter.
Looks tasty. I love pies and will try this savory pie. Great hub. Voted up

FREUS vs. CONVENTIONAL A/C
Pros & Cons of Evaporative Swamp Cooler & Refrigerated Air
PROS of a Evaporative (Swamp) Cooler
- lower installation cost
- lower operating cost 110 volt power
- easy maintenance can do it yourself
- adds moisture into the home
- rapid whole air replacement
(fresh air in - stale air pushed out)
CONS of a Evaporative (Swamp) Cooler
- high indoor moisture content can swell doors, etc.
- perform poorly in cool or humid climates
- need more frequent maintenace - pads
- most coolers are controlled by on and off switch
high speed or low speed
- housing can begin to corrode and leak on your roof
- *Leading to expensive roof repairs
An evaporative cooler can be a great benefit when you live in dry heat conditions throughout most of the year but at times can be a pain during months that are humid. The system cools by pulling in fresh outside air that passes through the moist pads, then the unit uses the hot dry air to evaporate the water which cools the fresh outside air before it is circulated into the home by a large blower. They also need air flow throughout th home in order to direct the air to different areas. These units are at times referred to as swamp coolers; because of the fact that they add moisture to the air which is then blown around.
However, these units are known perform poorly during hot muggy days throughout the year. As the weather becomes hot and humid the evaporative (swamp) cooler will blow hot soggy air into the home. As the humidity increases the units ability to cool the fresh outside air effectively decreases. These conditions of high humidity for several days can also have a lousy affect on the moist pads; the wet pads used to cool the air can produce a musty stench that can be circulated into the home.
PROS of a Conventional Refrigerated A/C
- removes humidity from the home
- not affected dramatically by humid days
- more dependable
- comfort level high
- set desired temp, unit will cycle
on and off to maintain desired temp
CONS of a Conventional Refrigerated A/C
- can be have a high install cost
- Requires 240 volt power usage,
can be 3-4 times more expensive
depending upon the efficiency of unit.
- recommended to be professionally serviced
- conventional recirculates indoor air
- consume more power during high temp. days
- *Leading to high eletric bills in th summer
Air conditioners use refrigeration to chill indoor air, taking advantage of a remarkable physical law: When a liquid converts to a gas (in a process called phase conversion), it absorbs heat. Air conditioners exploit this feature of phase conversion by forcing special chemical compounds to evaporate and condense over and over again in a closed system of coils. The compounds involved are refrigerants that have properties enabling them to change at relatively low temperatures. Air conditioners also contain fans that move warm interior air over these cold, refrigerant-filled coils.
Freus Air Conditioners - is the best of both worlds
By using water to cool the refrigerant, then using a built-in cooling tower to cool the water, the Freus is efficient, quiet and Eco-freindly. The Freus also maintains its cooling capacity on the hottest, most humid days of the year much better than conventional air-cooled condensers.
You will enjoy the output of our high-quality products. The units are also industry-known as a water saving device due to the water it saves at the power plants. Moreover, by utilizing a cooled condensing coil, our units achieve a cooling efficiency, which is unmatched in the industry.Other Freus Benefits:
- Quieter Operation
- Fiberglass Cabinet
- No Electronic Circuitry
- Excellent Dehumidification
- Longer Life Span and Lower Maintenance because of:
- Lower Pressures
- Lower Operating Temperatures
- Condensing Coils Protected from Salt Air by Water

Patient: Psychotic Elite: Kevingum
Physical traits: Obscure urban legend
Likes: ???
Loathes: ???
Case History: Among the members of the so-called Psychotic Elite, Kevin Gum is by far the most enigmatic. The assumption of his existance relies on evidence from patient Mad Demon. Questioned about the unexplainable sudden death of 567 patients during a 30-seconds blackout in the Asylum, Mad Demon reported to have witnessed a "(…)glowing pink light that slaughtered all the others (…)". When the light was turned on again, the patient reported to have seen a "(…) ridicolously fast pink humanoid thing disappearing through the waste pipe (…)". "His arms…. his arms", he added.
Although patient Mad Demon's perception of reality is hardly trustworthy, the existence of Kevin Gum is a possibility which should not be underrated.

Nellie Oleson a fashion muse? With her prim petticoats and rigid ringlets, "Little House on the Prairie's" spoiled minx may not be an obvious style icon, but for Cornell Collins, Laura Ingalls' nemesis has been sweet inspiration.
The Long Beach-based designer's penchant for unconventional influences, meticulous detailing and fine fabrics has drawn notice for a couple of seasons, but things reached critical mass after the 27-year-old's "Prairie"-themed spring 2002 collection hit the runway during L.A. Fashion Week in November.
Since then Collins, who was working a day job and designing at night, has created a million-dollar dress of casino chips worn by fashionista Paris Hilton to the Palms Casino Resort opening in Las Vegas and fielded orders from high-end boutiques such as A. Mason in Santa Monica and Los Angeles and Boulevard in Hong Kong.
Born in North Carolina, Collins moved to L.A. right out of high school in 1993, attending the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and graduating from Brooks College. After assisting women's wear designer Antonio Garcia, Collins debuted what he calls a "very bourgeoisie" fall 2000 collection. His fall 2001 collection, however, was inspired by Edwardian freak shows and the Bauhaus. By the time he showed his "Prairie"-based spring 2002 collection during New York's Fashion Week, Collins was generating a buzz. "I've felt like this is happening faster than I can keep up with, but I know how much went into it," he says of his "sudden" success.

My best friend has just lost her job, the company scaled back and she was the last hired, so first fired.
I was telling her about the parenting payments being cut back once your youngest child turns eight and how that's going to affect a lot of single Mum's. I don't need to worry for a long time yet, and things will change again before then.
My friend went to Centrelink and signed up for Newstart. She's getting just over $500 p/f. I was shocked, how's anyone supposed to live off that? And she told me that there won't be any kind of support payment to help offset the carbon tax for people on Newstart. I didn't honestly know if anyone was getting any form of payment.
She's going to starve, her rent is $210 per week, she's only 3 months into a 12 month lease, and breaking the lease will cost her a fortune. She's considered sharing to break costs, but still, how can anyone live off such a pittance?
Is there any kind of payment to offset the carbon tax for anyone?

It is an absolute pittance.
I don't know how people live off it.
My partner works in job network, and I think a lot of the long-term unemployed people he works with live with their parents, or in share accommodation, or boarding houses, or their cars, or some of the older ones own their houses outright.
I assume there is a carbon tax payment for people on newstart, but it's not much. I think about $200 or $300 per year, so it won't really solve her problems.
ETA: from what I can see the increase to offset the impact of the carbon tax is $218 per annum for singles on Newstart.

Wow so she get's just over $4 per week to offset the carbon tax WHOOPPIE! I'm sure electricity prices will go up a LOT more than that!
11-05-2012 20:13 #4
I think she's would be still entitled to family tax benefit a and b if she's got children. It's only about 280pf but it's something and rent assistance is about 100 depending on rental price.

I don't know if a single person would need much more than that if they are careful with electricity.
But the payment itself is completely out of touch with the standard of living. I don't know how she will pay her rent etc. Hopefully she is able to get new work quickly.
11-05-2012 20:26 #6
Does she have kids? There is an amount per child for anyone receing FTB Part A.
11-05-2012 20:37 #7
Nope, no children. I looked on the Centrelink Website, the absolute most she can get is $120 p/f in rent assistance, but if she share's her house, it drops to $80 p/f. But still even if she get the $120 p/f and doesn't share she will get about $600, but still be paying out $420 f/n in rent. The cost of food, fuel, electricity, medicines if you get sick, all that can cost more than $180 a f/n

It is a pittance I'm a firm believer that everyone should be paid the same and have been saying this for years. I was unemployed for a long time about 15 years ago when the cost of living was not so high and I struggled to the point of making myself ill. At some point something has to give but how long do we wait!!!
11-05-2012 21:23 #9
I feel for her I'm on Newstart as my child is 8 but I get a little extra with the FTB's (not much mind you).
I was on Newstart 10 years ago and after rent had $30 a week left. It was rough. She needs to be able to eat so as demoralising as it is, get her to contact one of the big charities as they can help with food.

They really need to increase Rent Assistance. When interest rates went up rents skyrocketed. Now that they've dropped rents are still up. What pays for a one bedroom now in a questionable locale, I used to pay for a 4 bedroom in a good area. Yet assistance has barely moved.

Grammatical Question...
Discussion related to the topic Grammatical Question...
|Forum : General Discussion : Grammatical Question...
Josiah T.
What's the past tense of "troubleshoot?" Is it "troubleshooted?" "Troubleshot?" ;-) :-P
I think I would avoid using it altogether if possible.
Yesterday I troubleshot the computer.
Yesterday I was troubleshooting the computer.
It's actually a different verb tense (one of our grammarians can probably tell you what the name of the tense is) - it generally describes an ongoing past action (I was troubleshooting the computer when the phone rang), but you may be able to use it, depending on your context.
You can also check dictionary.com to see what they list.
I decided Sunday that I've been doing too much proofreading lately. In church the scripture passage was from Job, and depending on your translation, God says to Satan "Where do you come from?"
My first thought: Oh no! God ended His sentence with a preposition!

New compound words added to English sound awkward in the past tense because we tend to want to use 'ed'. I suppose it will sort itself out in time.
Yesterday I troubleshot the computer. ----------- Simple past
Yesterday I was troubleshooting the computer. ----------Past continuous
I think the preposition rule is there to break.
An example of a sentence where there is no other way of rewording to avoid a prepostion at the end is:

Is my system working correctly? Here's why I ask. When I "Quick attach" an email to a customers history, quick attach DOES NOT NOTIFY YOU if it was unable to complete the action. In other words, if you selected quick attach for an email for which there is NO contact record, quick attach does NOT notify you that it was unable to complete the requested action.
I can't imagine this feature doesn't exist - I'm really posting this question just to find out if perhaps my database is not working correctly.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. This makes it very hard to fully "trust" the quick attach feature... as you're never fully SURE the action was completed without actually checking the database history file for that specific contact.
Quick Attach works within the process that is also used to:
The basic process is as follows:
When the system knows that an email is to be attached, save the email message to disk with "some information" pertaining to the attachment (such as is this a Quick Attach, a sent message, a manual attachment, etc.)
At some later time when the computer isn't overloaded with other work, a program (Act.Outlook.Service.exe) which is installed to auto-run on startup will notice that the message is waiting to be processed. At that time, one of two things will happen, the message will be attached to one or more contacts with histories, or it will be placed in a holding queue of messages which could not be processed.
If there are any messages which could not be processed, the program will display an icon in your system tray of an envelope with a red X in the lower right corner.
If you see this icon, double click on it and a dialog will appear. Click on the errors tab, and you will see all messages which could not be processed, and the reason why.
(The first tab you see will be a list of all of the emails which WERE processed successfully.)
For any message which did not get processed, there are several options which allow you to manually correct the issue. (For example, you can create a missing contact or contacts, retry because the problem was a network connectivity issue, etc.)
If you do not see the icon, check with Task Manager to be sure that the Act.Outlook.Service.exe process is running.
If it is not, then you can just run it yourself.
If it is, and you cannot see the envelope with the red-X, you can run the program with the -showqueue option to show the dialog with the processed and non-processed items.
(The command line should be "%ProgramFiles%\Act\Act for Windows\Act.Outlook.Service.exe" -showqueue
Additionally, there is a HistoryQueue folder in the AppData\Act\Act for Windows 11 folder. Any Quick Attach items should be shown in here until they are successfully processed.
Thanks for the response. I didn't realize the "processing" was delayed for quick attach as well... and your response makes perfectly good sense. I can now be assured that if I attempt to process a quick attach and the system has a problem with that request, it will show up in the "unable to process" folder.... which will allow me to make proper system revisions.
Thanks VERY much for your kind response.
