Communicative approach
A consideration of how the communicative approach can be used to teach grammar to the third year students at military technical academy
The findings indicate that both teachers and students are quite positive about grammar teaching and learning, but there is still a big gap between the teachers' limited use of communicative techniques and the students' need of communicative activities. Based on the observation analysis of a communicative grammar lesson, the researcher came to the conclusion that the "weak" version of CLT may be applied to teach grammar effectively. The study also presents pedagogical implications for applying CLT to teaching grammar in non-English major universities.

A context-sensitive approach to sustainable planning and development helps to protect public health, safety, andwelfare. By avoiding inherent site problems, or constraints, and by capitalizing on inherent site assets, or opportunities, site planners can limit long-term maintenance costs and, more important, reduce the risks to life and property from natural hazards. The careful analysis of sites—and the site's context—can lead to better development proposals and, ultimately, to higher-quality built environments. Qualified site planners and designers are vital to this process.

Your best friend is hosting a baby shower for you and wants to know what you want to give as baby shower favors to your guests. Do I really have to think about that? Are favors even expected by guests at a baby shower?
Traditionally, baby showers included giving small gifts, or favors, to the guests who attended. Favors are simply a way to show gratitude to the guest for joining you in celebrating your pregnancy and the impending arrival of your baby.
Baby shower favors, especially unique ones, also provide lasting memories of the special day for everyone.Favors are generally small tokens of appreciation, ranging in price from less than $1.00 to as much as $10.00, sometimes more. They are usually small and relevant to any theme.
Types of favors stretch the gamut. They may be practical, gags, food, candy, useful, personalized, big, small, and anything else you can imagine. Like several other baby shower traditions, they are not always used for baby showers and are certainly not required. In fact, I don't think I've been to but one baby shower that gave guests a favor.
The easiest way to choose what baby shower favors to give is to choose a theme for the baby shower. Not only are favors easier to pick with a theme, but they will usually be more fun too. But whether you have a theme or the theme is just baby, you can be very creative when deciding on a favors.
Ideas for baby shower favors:
1. Plastic or glass bottles or tins filled with candy or gum. Both or either of the contents and the container can be personalized.
2. Candles shaped like something related to baby. Candles can be shaped like pretty much any object, such as, bottle, carriage, rattle, or duck.
3. Custom made iced cookies work with any theme or can just be baby items in general.
4. Candy bars wrapped in pink or blue. Wrappers may have a special saying.
5. Soap or personalized bottles of hand sanitizer. Soap may be formed into as many objects as candles and come in a variety of shapes.
6. Tape measurer shaped like something relevant to a baby.
7. Lip balm or lotions, sometimes the containers are personalized.
8. Picture frames and picture frame coasters.
9. Towel favors shaped like something related to the shower, such as rattle, ice cream or sucker.
10. Sachets made to look like something else related to the baby or the shower theme.
Basically any item can be used as a favor. It seems that almost every type of favor can be personalized. They might be personalized with baby's name and the date of the shower, or other information relevant. If you intend to get anything personalized you must plan ahead and order with plenty of time to receive the items. It usually takes several days or even weeks for personalized items to arrive.
You may want to write a special poem showing your gratitude that you attach to each favor, or which is the favor. To make a special poem or saying the actual favor use special paper and roll it to look like a scroll. This might be good for a book themed baby shower. Handwriting these instead of printing them on a computer make them more special and archival pieces.
A good price range for a basic favor for a baby shower is $1.00 - $3.00. In addition to picking out individual favors you can also buy a party favor cake. Basically favor boxes shaped like cake pieces are put together to look like a cake, which may be multi-tiered depending on the number of favors required.
The price per favor box is about $1.00 a piece, but can be more. The boxes are empty and must be filled with something. These favor cakes make excellent decorations as well and usually are available in 3 sizes and either pink, blue or white.
Instead of purchasing baby shower favors, you may choose to make them. Handmade baby booties filled with candy are nice gifts. If your shower happens to be around Christmas, handmade ornaments are good favors. You might also make small booklets of the recipes used for the food at the shower. Everyone will appreciate new recipes. You may also consider including older siblings, the hostess, or children of the hostess in the decision on favors.
Baby shower favors can be found in discount stores, department stores and online stores. There are websites galore dedicated to helping you plan a baby shower, including choosing the baby shower favors. Searching online allows you to search according to baby's gender, the theme of the shower, or simply the type of gift you are looking for. Favors that are useful in some way, even for a short time, are often more likely to be kept by the recipient.

I've been asking a basic question about Android for quite a while: what the heck are they doing with all those Android devices? Thanks to a couple of recent studies from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), we're starting to get some color on that question.
Lagging Usage
At issue is the discrepancy between the gagillions of Android devices sold around the world—Android had somewhere around 80 percent market share in the June quarter—and the massively disproportionate use enjoyed by iPhone and iPad. Every metric I have seen says that iOS device owners do more with their devices, including Web browsing, app usage, shopping, app downloads, paid downloads, pictures uploaded, ad taps...every single metric.
The one metric where Android has been showing progress is total downloads. Earlier this month, Google Play downloads surpassed Apple's App Store for the first time. But, considering how many more Android devices have been sold, getting excited about that is kind of like patting a child on the head for only spilling most of the macaroni onto the floor.
Maraschino or Fresh?
One factor is that Android partisans like to cherry pick their numbers. They, and Google, like to talk about the huge numbers of total Android device activations around the world. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and CEO Larry Page have both touted that they've reached 1.5 million activations per day.
That's a staggering number that blithely ignores the reality that most of those devices are cheap devices with cheap specs that are used like feature phones (phone calls and text). This is particularly true in emerging markets where no-name hardware makers still churn out devices running antique versions of Android 2.x.
Here's a page on Alibaba (a top Chinese ecommerce site/service) with a ton of Android devices running Android 2.3. I didn't look very hard to find that, either. In fact, here's a current product from CoolPad, a popular Chinese brand that sells a smartphone today in the U.S. running Android 2.3.7.
Mmmmm...good. No wait, this tastes terrible! (Plus Loose Car Analogies)
Those devices do Google little good because users aren't using their devices to contribute significantly to the user profiles that are Google's product. In emerging markets—especially China—many of these low end devices come with no Google services at all. Their makers are getting a free ride for an operating system without giving back to the ecosystem.
They don't do Android developers any good, either. These device owners don't download apps, and most don't have ready access to Google Play in the first place.
Including these cheap devices when considering the size of the Android platform would be like considering sales of the Yugo when considering the size of the car industry. Or the Chevy Chevette. Or the Trabant.
My analogy isn't perfect because those models didn't sell in large volumes, not even in aggregate, but my point is that those cars barely functioned as cars and had life spans sometimes measured in months. In the same fashion, the cheapest smartphones aren't smart in any practical way.
If one were to exclude these devices when looking at usage metrics, the discrepancy becomes must less bizarre, at least to me. We'd still see that iOS users as a whole use their devices more than this subset of Android users, but it wouldn't be the shocking difference we see when comparing against Android as a whole.
To wit, nineteen times more shopping on iOS devices than Android with the same number of devices is staggering, but nineteen times much shopping with 1/4 of the devices is mind boggling. (Note that this particular factoid is about nine months old—today's numbers would surely be different.)
What About CIRP?
OK, so that's part of the equation, but CIRP has been looking at the U.S. market, and the firm's studies show a couple of interesting things about smartphone users. Last week, as covered by Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt, we learned that Apple's brand loyalty crushes Samsung, but that's not germane to today's topic.
What is pertinent is that Samsung in particular gets more first-time customers than Apple, that Apple's customers are more educated and younger, and that they make more money. If that's the case, no wonder Android usage lags behind iOS.
Cut to this week, and a new report from CIRP looking at Android as a whole compared to iOS (covered by Mr. Elmer-Dewitt). According to that survey, Android owners are three times more likely to have purchased their device at the big discount giants (Wal-mart, Sam's Club, Costco) than iPhone owners. They're also more likely to be new to smartphones.
And, as Philip Elmer-Dewitt put it, "CIRP found that Americans who buy Android phones tend to be older, less wealthy and less well educated than those who buy iPhones."
Ah, I Get It
I personally have no doubt that what CIRP found for Android and Samsung is skewed by the vast numbers of cheap devices Samsung sells when Apple sells none. If you looked at just owners of HTC One, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 4, and a couple of other devices, my gut says those users are very similar to Apple's iPhone customers in age, income education, and wealth.
It's the customers who buy the massive range of other products that are new to smartphones, less wealthy, older, and less educated, and many of these users aren't looking for a computer they can put in their pocket. Many might only have a vague idea of what a smartphone is.
Those of us in the echo chamber might scoff at the idea, but in the larger American market, it's true. Most people do not obsess about this stuff.
When you combine low-end specs, poor quality screens, customer service that doesn't have the time or training to properly educate their customers, and a lack of familiarity with smartphone concepts, it's no wonder Android usage lags so far behind iOS.
CIRP's data suggests to me that this is just as true in the U.S. as it is in emerging markets, though with lower percentages.
I think this is at the heart of the disconnect that phandroids have about their platform of choice. They think that because they make the most of their devices, every other Android user must be, too. The usage data says that isn't so, and now we have some demographic data to explain it.

'Leadership fights, colonialism, contradictory trends in Bengali society'
Kolkata, Jan 13 (IANS) Renowned social theorist Ashis Nandy has said contradictions within the Bengali society such as the class struggle and imparity in the degree of creativity and knowledge were largely caused by the majority of Bengalis' defeat at the hand of "a few upper classes" in their fight for social, cultural and political leadership.
"Bengalis were most deeply captivated by the culture of colonialism. They considered the success of Bengali renaissance as a great achievement. But all the contributions which we are so proud of, came from the three upper castes while the rest of Bengal was not that much touched by it," Nandy said, discussing author Sudeep Chakravarti's new book on the Bengali community at the Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival here on Friday.
"Many of the contradictions within the Bengali society is a direct by-product of a majority of Bengali's defeat in the fight for social leadership, cultural leadership as well as political leadership," he pointed out.
Nandy said the introduction of British colonialism in Bengali culture nearly a century ahead of the rest of India, gave it an upper hand over a lot of other communities in the country in dominating the colonial system but at the same time it also created a rift with others as colonialism became an inseparable fabric of the Bengali society.
"There are three or four crucial elements in Bengali identity that explain not all the contradictions in their characteristics, but most of it. The first thing is, Bengal was basically a tribal society like Maharashtra and Guajrat. The Bramhinical influence in Bengal came in quiet late and the second thing is the impact of modern colonialism in this culture," Nandy noted.
"The process of colonialism started in Bengal at least a century ahead of the other parts of India. As a result, the Bengalis were first inducted to the colonial system and they dominated it and this colonial input became an indestructible nectar within the Bengali society," he added.

Residents attending Friday's Annual Town Meeting will determine the outcome of 30 articles on the warrant. While a number of the articles are considered standard and therefore voted on each year, several articles are being brought forward by the Board of Assessors in an effort to provide tax relief to certain qualified residents. "We want to make certain we're offering everything we can to residents," said Assessor Kevin Rudden when explaining the articles to the Board of Selectmen during an April meeting.
The first of the Assessor's articles is Article 15 which is seeking approval from residents to appoint one of the town's Assessors as the designated field agent, who is responsible for measuring new growth in the town. "When building permits are issued, the data collector goes out and measures the addition or new house so that it can be assessed and added to the property tax rolls," said Rudden. Currently, each of the town's three Assessors receive an annual stipend of $2,600. If residents support Article 15, two of the Assessor's have agreed to reduce their stipends and allocate that funding to the new field agent. "What we are doing is taking the existing three $2,600 per board member stipend and reallocating it to $200, $200, and $7,400, with the person receiving the $7,400 doing 99 percent of the data collection work," explained Rudden.
Article 16 is also being brought forward by the Assessor's and seeks to increase the amount of the qualifying maximum gross receipts from $20,000 to $40,000 in accordance with Mass. General Law pertaining to residents in need of a tax deferral. "It's not a forgiveness of taxes, it's a deferment of taxes to another year. We're not losing tax money," explained Finance Committee Chair Mike Merolli.
The next several articles concern efforts to provide tax relief to qualified residents and military personnel. Article 17, if passed, will provide exemptions from excise taxation on vehicles owned by residents who are on active and fulltime military service as members of the armed forces or National Guard serving overseas for at least 45 days.
Article18 also concerns military personnel and seeks to provide a real estate and personal property tax abatements to members of the Massachusetts National Guard or military reservists on active duty serving overseas.
The next article, Article 19, concerns the Community Preservation Act tax and will offer those residents who qualify for low income housing or low or moderate income senior housing an exemption from the three percent surcharge. The article will also need to be passed by a ballot vote in November.
In addition, two citizen's petitions are also on the warrant. Article 29 is being brought forward by residents who are aiming to adopt stricter zoning regulations when it comes to constructing solar farms in town. "They're requesting we no longer allow them in the residential district," explained Planning Board Chair Bill Ambrosino. A public hearing was held in April on the measure.
In relation to Article 29, the solar development company BlueWave Capital is planning to construct a 20 acre solar farm on 128 Providence St., 67 Bates St., and 72 Thayer Road and therefore Article 26 is seeking a PILOT agreement for that solar facility.
The last article on the warrant, Article 30, is another zoning bylaw amendment request from a Cape Road business looking to rezone all their land to commercial in order to relocate a construction garage on the property.
The May 6 Annual Town Meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Miscoe Hill School.

Still pouring concrete!
Happy New Year!! We have been very fortunate this season that the weather stayed warm through the end of 2015. We were able to pour concrete on New Year's Eve! Although today is a bit colder, we still have a warm enough ground temperature to pour and cure concrete.
Our crew works continuously through the year, so when the weather becomes too cold – we begin our interior projects.
Are you planning a new project in 2016? It is not too early to get an estimate, our spring 2016 schedule is already full. We are currently booking projects for the summer and fall.
Best wishes to you and yours in the New Year!!


text: For those who don't know, "God's Not Dead" is a complex film weaving together several different story lines, with great pains taken to present all arguments in a balanced, accurate manner. In the first of my two favorite story lines, a Christian student confronts an atheist professor (brilliantly played by Kevin Sorbo), a spirited debate ensues, and the two eventually agree to disagree. In my other favorite story line, a Muslim teenager converts to Christianity, thus displeasing her deeply conservative father. However, after a tender heart-to-heart, father and daughter reconcile their differences, as well. Just kidding. Actually, the father beats his daughter and kicks her out of the house, the student spouts some pseudoscience then goes to a rock concert featuring an infamous homophobe, and the atheist professor gets hits by a car and literally dies on the street in the rain.

This chain of events leads to the infamous Angler Exploit kit which attempts to exploit known software vulnerabilities within a person's computer. Think of it like this, your browsing the web for cat pictures, you arrive at a site which contains a malicious link or ad, without clicking on the advert, the tool attempts to find and exploit for example a Flash or another program bug, if it's successful it will then attempt to compromise said computer. Angler is also known for spreading the rise of Crypto Ransomware which is extremely dangerous. To allow myself a plug, and this is my first one, here's a link to an article which I have written concerning the Windows 10 Crypto Malware.
Malware within adverts is hugely popular because it does not need the user to click on the ad for the Malware to spread. The nature of the Internet pushes these attacks at a phenomenal rate which exploits the globe. Always update your plug-ins, software, Anti Virus and Windows patches on a regular basis, we all know Flash is about as breakable as a glass hammer. Unless Adobe adapts, it will be remembered in nostalgia circles rather than a current product.
It may be wise to either uninstall or change Adobe Flash's settings to "Ask to Activate"

By far the most brutal is Kats'out, which is located in the Naqab desert where prisoners reside in tents, which obviously do not serve as protection from the fierce hot summers or the equally harsh cold winters. Not to mention scorpions, rats, mosquitoes, and other insects/creepy crawlies infest every corner. Conditions were so desperate that after opening in 1988 (during the first intifada) it was closed down in 1996 only to be reopened to welcome prisoners during the second intifada.
Majdo is the prison located nearest to a West Bank city, Jenin. It currently houses more than 1200 prisoners, with special divisions for those between 12-18 of age. It is known for its employment of "3asafeer" which are spies masquerading as prisoners.
Remounim has a grand total of 80 prisoners, all of them between 16 to 18 years of age.
al-Damoun is situated in Haifa and the original building was used during the British Mandate as a storehouse for cigarettes. As a result of its dilapidation and intense mouldiness prisoners suffer from breathing and kidney problems. Insects infest each room, and the water prisoners are served is so polluted that the prisoners themselves try to make it drinkable by putting strips of cloths in the tanks to absorb pollutants.
Hasharoun is for the female prisoners, where three of the eighteen are serving multiple life sentences.
PS we're so glad that for what seems like the first time, Palestine flags decorating campus outnumbered the Fateh yellow flags by far.

Probe Me With Your PoshnessThe Posh O Probe by California exotics is one of the best anal vibrators I own. The vibrations are strong but not overpowering, and it fits my anatomy perfectly for prostate stimulation, which it does in spades. If you're looking for something with millions of patterns and functions and earthquake-strong vibrations, look for something more expensive. If you're looking for an inexpensive toy that works perfectly and gives you mind-blowing prostate orgasms, then buy this toy.
Perfectly shaped
Strong enough vibrations
Holding ring for ease of use

Vibrations aren't "Super Make The World Explode" strong
The Posh O Probe is an anal vibrator from the wonderful California Exotics. Its shape brings one to believe that it's intended to be inserted anally for prostate stimulation, although women might want to use it for G-spot or clitoral stimulation as well. It may also be used for external stimulation, although it might not be powerful enough or have enough function variety for that. I personally use it as a prostate plug and it works wonders. It's also waterproof and not very loud once inserted, so you can use it anywhere you so please. It's not very big, and it's a great toy, so I'd definitely bring it on vacation. The inner bullet can (after a good bit of work) be removed and used as a waterproof bullet for whatever way you want to use it. WARNING: Do not eat.
Material / Texture
The main part of the toy is 100% silicone, which is one of the safest materials available. It's waterproof, non-porous, phthalates-free, pretty inert, and sterilizable. The toy has no smell or taste unless you cover it in lube or something. Inside the silicone shell is a plastic bullet. Plastic has many of the same properties as silicone, only it's not soft and not quite as perfect as a material. The texture of this toy is extremely smooth, with Cal Exotics' signature seam running down the length of the toy. As is true with most silicone Cal Exotics toys, the silicone is pretty hard and inflexible; this is especially true with this toy since there is a hard plastic bullet inside of it.
Design / Shape / Size
The design is one of my favorite parts of this toy. It seems to compliment my anatomy PERFECTLY. The only miff I have with this toy is that it tends to turn on its side easily, so you just have to hold it while it's in. The grabbing ring is especially nice since it's so hard to find a flared base that is easy to hold but still big enough not to slip in. I do admit that the toy is a little on the larger side and isn't exactly the most beginner friendly toy out there, but if you have a little experience with shoving things up your butt then it should be no problem for you. I personally love the size, as it's filling but I don't get that uncomfortable "impaled by a telephone pole" feeling. In terms of being discreet, I doubt someone who is not familiar with sex toys would understand what it is, as it doesn't resemble a penis at all, but someone who knew a thing or two about sex toys would instantly know what this thing is for. I'd say take it on a plane with you, but don't whip it out in public.
Here's some specs for size:
Length: 6"
Insertable length: 3 3/4"
Circumference: 4 3/4"
Diameter: 1 1/2"
Weight: 0.2 lb
Color: Blue

Insertable length: 3 3/4"
Circumference: 4 3/4"

Functions / Performance / Controls
The vibrating bullet has 4 settings (in my made up terms): Off, "Eh," "This is nice," and "OH MY GOD, THAT'S WHERE MY PROSTATE IS." The button on the bottom end of the bullet cycles through these settings. It might not be enough variety for some, but I've never really needed that much variety in functions, so I'm happy with it. The vibrations seem to be pretty evenly spread throughout the tip of the toy (as is intended). It's decently loud outside of everything but once you get the bullet in the silicone and the entire toy inside of you, it's hardly audible. I didn't use the toy in the water since I never have use to toy in the shower, but I can assure you it's waterproof. The bullet uses 1 AAA battery, and it lasts a long time. I got this toy back in March (?) and it still works. When you insert it, just make sure the curve goes towards your front instead of backwards so it hits your prostate/G-spot.
Care and Maintenance
To clean the toy you can use any brand of soap and water. You can also take the silicone sleeve off and boil it, or soak it in a 10% bleach solution. After that, I usually just throw it in the box it came in and put it in the drawer. I like to store all my toys separately just to be 100% safe. I'd try to keep it away from other silicone toys, and definitely jelly and latex. Do not touch any silicone toy to any latex or jelly objects. The best thing to use as lube is any water-based lubricant. I hear oil-based lubricants aren't really all that great with silicone, and silicone-based lubricants will make your toy melt and die, and then you'll be sad.
The toy was given to me in a small white cardboard box. The box contains all the information Cal Exotics always puts on their packaging. Inside the box was the toy in plastic wrap (with the bullet already inside, but no batteries included), with a little piece of paper instructing on how to insert the batteries in all kinds of California Exotics toys.

If you're a single female who can't find the right guy to fill the void in your heart this Valentine's Day, by all means don't fret. Instead, get yourself some adult toys and how yourself some love!
Have you ever noticed that "gorgeous" (aren't we all gorgeous in our own special way?) women always get stuck dating guys who are rude and disrespectful, jerks who don't realize what an amazing woman they're dating? Well, if you're one of those girls, buck up and get out! You, darling, deserve so much better. And don't worry that Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Do you really think he'll be sweet? He may rock your world sexually, but adult toys can too.
All too often, women get stuck in these emotionally unsatisfying, unhealthy, even abusive relationships because they don't think they can do better. You have to believe in yourself, think positive thoughts, and have the will to make your life better. I know, I know…sex is really great. And although it's an important part of a relationship, it's not the be all, end all. Honestly, you might find more pleasure with dildo sex toys, seriously.
So how is a sexy mama like you going to get through the ever-commercialized day of love? Simple–you're going to buy some adult toys and go all out in sexually satisfying yourself. That's right. Don't be shy! Get yourself several glass dildos or other dildo sex toys like realistic dildos, vibrators, or even suction mounted dildos for some fun the bathtub. The point is–you don't need a man to satisfy your sexual urges. No darling, you can shed the emotional drama and let go of feeling disappointed and unloved because you love yourself enough to throw that jerk to the curb.
But hold on, we like flirting and feeling good–the compliments. Yes, we all do. So until you find that good guy who treats you right and is sweet and romantic, watch a cheesy chick flick. Maybe rent an oldie with Carry Grant or Frank Sinatra. Pretend that those sweet romantic words are intended for you while you play with one of the glass dildos you bought. While you're at it, drink some wine. That's a perfect combo. Just don't sell yourself short because it's Valentine's Day and you don't want to be alone.

If you switched on your TV last week, this is what you'd have seen: Two hundred and seventy six school girls kidnapped in Nigeria, Oscar Pistorious on trial for murdering Reeva Steenkamp in his bathroom and media personalities accused and convicted of terrible sex crimes against young women and girls. Tough going. Then to relax in the evening, there was new BBC drama 'Happy Valley', which is not happy at all, just very violent and quite rapey.
Sexism and misogyny have always been there. The 'stay in the kitchen' jokes, the 'changing a plug' problems, the 'being overlooked at work in favour of a younger and less qualified boy', the leering weirdos, but just lately, it all feels louder. I'm a girl. I'm the mother of a baby girl. And I'm starting to feel, for the first time in my 31 years, a little bit threatened.
'Blurred Lines' (BBC1) on Wednesday night was a heinous patchwork of sexism in all its most gruesome glory and asked where the 'lines' are. Is it OK to have a chortle at a sexist joke? Is it OK that young people learn about sex from pornography? Is it OK to play a computer game where your digital self can have digital sex with a digital woman and afterwards, digitally kick her to death? Is that more OK if the 'game' is rated 18? I couldn't imagine anyone would think, 'yes', but on Twitter as usual, there were lots of people (men and women) who couldn't really see a problem with it.
Girls themselves aren't helping matters. Female entertainers are increasingly naked, and aggressive and so are lots of our young ladies. The 'empowered' woman's reaction to sexism seems to be provocative and goading. Miley and Rihanna are marketed to us as women who can do whatever the hell they like with their bodies (hang on that's actually a Gaga lyric isn't it?) as now they're in control. Yeah! Hi five sister! But no matter what they say, whether it's about control, empowerment, ownership of your own sexuality, it still feels a bit wrong doesn't it? It feels dangerous. It feels like giving validation to a sinister sub section of people with bad intentions. And if something feels wrong, it probably is.
I have no problem planning the conversation with my daughter where I tell her she can be whatever she wants. I believe our society has a great and normal structure where women can get any job and be treated respectfully as the citizens which they are. However, I do struggle to imagine how I'll explain sexism or misogyny to her. Do I explain it? Or do I let her find out about it for herself online, and then blink up at me with those baby blues, puzzled.
Games like 'Grand Theft Auto' are profoundly negative. It's just not possible to see them in any other light. After 'Blurred Lines' I went onto Twitter to search desperately for people who felt the same as me and reassure myself that a hell-mouth hadn't opened up and swallowed our planet. I tweeted that a game where you could be abusive to children or to animals wouldn't be allowed, so why was this? Someone replied and said, 'Perhaps if you played the game instead of jumping on the anti-GTA bandwagon, you'd know you can kill animals on it'. Oh. Wow. Well, I am firmly on that bandwagon my friend. I have a front row seat on that particular wagon and you should be sitting next to me, not sitting in your bedroom pretending to mug people and kill animals.
Violence and crime aren't fun. They're not games. They're not fantasies or hobbies and shouldn't be made available as those things. If you feel like you need to indulge dark sides of your character, I'd suggest having a cold glass of water, taking a very deep breath, doing up your anorak and walking quickly to a psychiatrist. 'Hello, my name is X and I think I need some help'. Off you go. Chop chop.


text: Several possibilities: 1. It never occurred to Apple that people would want a display cheaper than $999 for a Mac Mini. But Apple's not that stupid. * Apple knows people would want one, but doesn't care to make money on it themselves. Nobody's that stupid * Apple wants to sell them but can't due to an unexpected delay. Now THAT is possible, but seems unlikely. A low-end display could have been pre-announced even if it had to ship later. And it would have been easy to finish on time anyway--no engineering feat. * Apple has some OTHER, intentional reason NOT to offer one. One reason I can think of: if Apple had a display--even a 15" one--it would have Apple style and ergonomics, and would not be priced in the bargain bin. It would be low-cost, but priced in the middle. Two bad things would result: 1. People would feel like they HAD to get the Mac display. It would have such a psychological draw to get the "matched set" that it would turn people OFF of putting any old PC monitor on the Mini. It would turn off some of the very buyers who now want a Mini. I know when I get a PowerMac, I'll want an Apple display to match. Maybe I'll get something cheaper, but on some level it will bug me that this super-cool, stylish thing in my life COULD have had a matching display, but I didn't get one. Choosing between that irritation vs. paying more isn't an incentive for me to buy. Sounds trivial, but now apply that to something cheap enough to be almost an impulse buy, and I think it could work against Apple. Evidence that Apple wants you NOT to think of the Mini as a matched set: they show off a QTVR of the Mini BOTH with Apple display AND with a PC display. They don't just permit the PC display option out of necessity... they actually promote that with QTVR. 2. Reviewers would then price the thing as a set--much higher! They'd add an Apple display, mouse, and keyboard "because it's there." But since it's NOT there, they won't be as likely (at $999) to do that--they will see the Mini for what it is: something small and simple to slip into your existing computing life. Any other theories? If Apple's neither too stupid to sell a low-end display, nor unable to build one... then what might the reason be? I'm thinking they could sell a ton of cheap LCDs (and offer a decent 3rd-party 17" CRT if needed). By cheap LCD, I'm thinking the 15.2" widescreen 1280x854 from the PowerBook, with DVI (and a bigger backlight). That's not rock-bottom 1024x768 VGA, that's a nice screen--but low-end for Apple. To save cost, build in a USB hub but no Firewire--and maybe use white plastic with metal sides (the opposite of the pro displays). Then offer a bundle of that, plus mouse and keyboard, at a discount. (Online, offer the same in a wireless version.)

NRA: Society has left children 'utterly defenseless'
NRA: Society has left children 'utterly defenseless'
Posted by
CNN Wire Staff
(CNN) Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, said "for all the noise and anger directed at us ... nobody has addressed the most important, pressing and immediate question we face: How do we protect our children right now ... in a way that we know works."
At a press event in Washington, LaPierre said U.S. society has left children "utterly defenseless."
A protester interrupted the NRA appearance before reporters with a banner accusing the NRA of killing children. The protester was led out of the room as he shouted anti-NRA slogans.
LaPierre added that violent crime is increasing in the U.S. due to a lack of willing to prosecute such acts.
Stalin, Hitler and Mao disarmed the people and then proceeded to massacre millions. Would have that have happened if the people were armed as citizens in the U.S. have the choice of being?
@AP: BREAKING: NRA blames media for allowing violent culture to come into children's homes.
There is plenty of places to share the blame, I do not believe that the NRA has any part of the evilness involved. Last time I saw an event sponsored by the NRA it was 100% about gun safety and responsibility.
If guns kill people then why is it that we can buy cars and trucks?
Society may have left "children" defenseless but fortunately not all parents have,
Posted via Mobile Device
Dozens of posters on this message board have defended gun rights in light of the Sandy Hook tragedy much, much better than this NRA presser did.
I'm very dosappointed in the NRA. IMO this speach was a very bad move on their part.
The whole thing rather than a biased commentary
Just riddles with logical contradictions and outright bullshit. And I think the transcript is nowhere near as bad as most lefties are saying it is.
If you're going to claim a culture of violence through movies and games and NOT implicate gun culture as a part of that, then you're a lying asshole. OF COURSE gun culture would be part of that culture of violence. These totally unnecessary guns that look cool and are fun to shoot? The reason for their existence is the same as these movies and games: they look cool and are fun. I'm not saying get rid of these guns. I'm saying don't be willfully ignorant.
Most people are outraged at the armed guards proposal, taking it to the extreme end of its logical extension. But would a plain clothes officer at each school be so bad? At the same time, pro-gun people are going to have to account for the fact that trained, armed persons weren't very useful at Columbine, Virginia Tech, or Fort Hood.
You're as solid on history as BEP.
Whatever you think of gun rights or the NRA in general, this really is a pretty pathetic effort. It's the media's fault. Seriously? :spock:
Society has caused this IMO. How many kids now instead of going outside working on cars, hunting, enjoying sports or outdoors, instead sit on their ass all day playing COD loaded up on SSRI's and other shit because they don't live normal social lives and don't know how to behave and aren't disciplined. It all starts w/ parenting IMO.

According to index.hu, about 300 people took part in the Tuesday's protest including former liberal members of parliament. Many demonstrators wore the yellow Star of David.
Organizers said they would keep a vigil at the construction site and by all means, they would stop the completion of the monument.
Protest organizers objecting the proposed memorial because according to them, the monument exonerates the Hungarian population from the burden of responsibility for the Holocaust. Although 70 years have passed since the Second World War, organizers are still demanding the collective stigmatization of Hungarians; they want to instill the feeling of guilt in future generation so that by reminding them to this unfounded guilt they can demand financial compensations from Hungarian society until the end of time.

Cubs Release The Best Poet Going For Them, Fernando Perez
Yesterday, the Cubs released outfielder Fernando Perez. I have been a long and unabashed fan of Perez -- even since his days with the Rays. Perez is a writer and poet and frequent blogger, whose tumblr blog is both interesting and complex.
Fernando has had two straight rough seasons. His rough 2010 precipitated his part in the Matt Garza trade, where he played the role of the down prospect with a chance of resurgence. Out of spring training, Reed Johnson won the Cubs 4th outfielder role -- a move I criticized at the time, but about which I was probably wrong considering recent revelations.
It might be worth mentioning something to the note of the Cubs failing miserably on the Matt Garza trade, but that is both an exaggeration and an ill-timed observation.
I really do hope the outfield rambler finds a new home (maybe with the Rays?). He had been improving through the recent months, even hitting homer earlier in July, so hopefully there's a team out their willing to give him another shot.

Dark and almost depressing, the Dr. Phillips Dental Floss ad campaign depicts the capture of animal flesh in a very dramatic way. Of course, people would never have a full beast stuck between their teeth; but if they did, this is the floss they would want to use to wrangle it in.
Conceived and executed by BangkokShowcase, an ad agency based in Bangkok, Thailand, the Dr. Phillips Dental Floss ad campaign shows just how strong this product really is. Not to mention how thorough. Art directed by Sakon Khanawuthikarn with creative direction by Chokchai Tupanyakanok, the campaign was visualized by computer artist Pattarasak Sitthisroung and retouched by Silhouette.
Although some might be put off by the images in the Dr. Phillips Dental Floss ad campaign, they will certainly capture people's attention.

Every night for the last few weeks, Sam and I have set off on an adventure with Jack and Annie - up into the old treehouse, and off into the lands of old times. We meet dinosaurs and Knights, Mummies and pirates and crocodiles....we are discovering the great stories within The Magic Treehouse series of books. Most of them come with Fact Trackers too - a separate book with non fiction information about the things Jack and Annie find.
The books are linked to a website where Sam can join in with more adventures and games.
We read several chapters a night and often Sam will ask me to keep reading.
We're really enjoying this series!!!

San Lameer Country Club
The centerpiece of the Estate's magnificent domain is the 18-hole Championship Golf Course designed by Peter Matkovich and Dale Hayes.
The layout winds through pristine coastal flora and the tastefully constructed villas. Its fairways clad in a strain of Cynoden called Sahara, a grass which provides an excellent playing surface and which compliments the large, undulating Country Club-grassed greens.
There is certainly an interesting blend of holes on this tight economical layout, all memorable and all capable of frustrating the player who throws caution to the wind. Besides the impenetrable bush, there is an abundance of water on the course, but conservative playing routes are always available. It has often been said that no finer collection of par 3s exists anywhere, and the 4th hole, interestingly, is almost a carbon copy of Augusta National's famous 12th. Rated among the country's top 10 toughest courses by Compleat Golfer it is consistently ranked in Golf Digest's top 30 best courses.
A Marshie Golf Course is also available
Pro Shop
A visit to the shop to see the latest clothing ranges and to look at the nice golf goodies on sale, is a must. Spoil yourself with those things you always wanted at very competitive prices. Hours: 07h00 to 17h00

Gold mine A true Australian story.
The BBQuartz gold mine
This is another true Australian story about real goldmines and my adventures around the Goldfields of Victoria Australia my home State.
The BBQuartz mine took it's name from the BB Creek. What is perhaps less known is how BB creek got it's name and it is typical of the meanings of many of our rivers and creeks in this state. Australian names can be very closely related to experiences of the place.
When the early gold diggers tried to get through the wiry dense undergrowth along the BB creek, it tore their trousers to pieces, leaving them with bare bums, bottoms or Bollocks, thus Bare Bollocks or BB Creek got it's name.
BB Creek is in Gippsland, a region of the Australian State of Victoria in the gold belt not far from the Capital city of Melbourne.
The BB Creek gold fields were discovered in 1862, By 1865 the BB Quartz reef mine was discovered. It was to remain in production till 1877.It reopened in 1897 and by 1918 had almost closed again it had produced 1,768 OZ of gold. run the BB Quartz goldmine
After this time the mine continued working in a small way till 1935
Morning in Jericho
Night time in Jericho
I first went in to Jericho in the summer of 1959 with my dad, and some of his friends.
In the early 1950's we used to hunt wild deer in this area, coming in to the valley next door, scrambling after the dogs from the spurs down the side of the gullies following deer trails that zig zag through the dense scrub.(Deer hunting was popular and because of numbers needed culling at that time)
My dad knew the Baw Baw mountains and surrounds like the back of his hand. We had fished, hunted, prospected and logged our way through this area for years, and I knew it pretty well myself.
In 1958 we discovered the old road in to Jericho when one of my father's friends who was a government areal surveyor, flew over Jericho to photograph and grid map the area.
Visible on the photo of the valley and ridges was a thin white tightly winding
line that looked like an animal track that ran from the lower valley up
a spur to the only road that was open in the winter, and came out at Aberfeldy. The few other
tracks would be closed until the fishermen hunters or the forestry authority
came through to cut fallen trees off them, and repair wash-aways where
the snow has melted in to the earth and caused the track to fall away.
High maintenance roads and tracks were the only way in or out, and some had not been used for many years.
As my dad was an experienced bushman, the photographer and a few others including me asked if he would like to try getting in by road.Needless to say, we packed up the old 1936 American Ford side valve V8 and went for it!.Dad made a few mods to the ford including a different set of wheel and tires to provide more grip and a different gear ratio to suit the steep track. Side valve fords have very little horsepower at low revs, so ratio's needed to be changed to ensure the motor would handle the harsh treatment it was going to endure.
The road, even in summer saw little of the sun. In the middle of a dense forest it was overhung with growth, steep rough and slippery with trees jutting out of the banks blocking the road after falling from the embankment during one of the many storms that pass through here. the track was as greasy as a wet eel on the mostly mud surface, and quite a long way down to the valley below, with a steep drop off the side of the road on outside corners.
In places we used a long sapling we cut that was blocking our way, held it in place on the track with crowbars, to wedge the old ford between the small log (sapling) and the bank to get down the steeper slopes without the Ford sliding over the side. My dad's years of experience as a logger meant as we came to an obstacle, he provided a solution to whatever presented and we continued on.The Ford got used as a tractor pulling logs off the track
It took all day to travel the short distance of a few miles down in to the valley, despite being two wheel drive, with lousy brakes and poor suspension the ford was well maintained and reliable if we could just keep it on the track, and not scrape the exhaust system off on a rock, or drop over the side!
We got to the bottom of the steep incline to run straight in to a river crossing. With some ingenious water proofing of the ignition system on the ford we crossed the river and were in Jericho. We found the old hut we had seen from the air, and lit a fire in the fireplace.
Bush fire places consist of 3 pieces of corrugated iron upright on the short wall held there and lined with mud or anything else that will keep it in place.
Jericho in the winter.
It gets really cold at night in Jericho, so we build a small very
hot fire first, then drop a huge piece off a messmate gum tree stump on
the already decent fire and that burns fiercely all night.If you are
looking for firewood in the Australian bush, you need knowledge. Many
old messmate stumps can be knocked out of the ground with the back of
an axe and provide tremendous heat all night.
In the morning the unburnt portions of the fire are re positioned to make breakfast.
Nice and easy.
walked for miles along the valley looking at rows and rows of pudding
stones in terraces , sluices and diverted creeks and more goldmines. We
looked at all the old machinery, looked at the mines and made notes
about our next proposed visit.We discovered the cemetery in Jericho. It
was completely overgrown with trees and scrub.
It was to be memorable to say the least taking in all the wild life as we went. The deer in this dense bush had little or no fear of us.The birds and animals seemed leisurely, and without fear. I had seen this since a small child living deep in the bush and knew that very few people came here to do them harm.
This area has many Liar Birds, and the spelling is deliberate. The can mimic any sound, and are very entertaining. You may think that is a tree falling, but it may be a liar bird creating every sound.
Eventually we ran out of time to explore, and we knew we had a big job ahead getting the old side-valve Ford back up the steep and slippery track.
We winched, levered and pushed the Ford all the way out! It took us a day to go a few klms as it had been easier coming down of course.
We arrived home exhausted from the extreme labor of pushing the car and went to bed.
I was still a kid, I dreamt of all sorts of adventures that night, and
I can still remember most of it more than forty years later.
Little did I know what my next visit to Jericho we would find the BB quartz mine.
We had a chance meeting with a Journalist and photographer who told us of ghosts then claimed to have seen the mine in a dream ....... a dream that came true!
Looks like I'm not the only one hoping for a kit to get staetrd on this project! I'm told that I'm already signed up on the email list ~ but there seems to be no way to give you info on how to send your kit to me and so far I'm only receiving invitations to join. Help!
Excellent advice! I episceally like what you say about making sure you use the beginning time well: that's the period that sets the mood for the entire hair-cut, and you want your customers to feel as special as possible before they walk to the chair (and to the register). Have you looked at ScheduleThing for salon scheduling? They have great web-based scheduling portals that are backed with powerful scheduling software that you can customize from your end. They also allow you to create different types of reservations, which can prevent overbooking different types of appointments, like you mentioned above.

A wonderful hub! Your Dad sounds like an amazing man.
So near yet so far. Your travel was exhausting but I guess it was all worth it; it must have been as if you are in paradise with all those wild but not so wild animals. I would love to visit Australia too. =)
Great story Earnest, did you ever get down into the mine ?
Your writing and memories are as evocative and emotive as ever Earnest. No wonder my son and daughter enjoyed their back-packing time in Oz so much when they finished university a few years ago. My wife and I are looking forward to seeing something of your country sometime soon. Is that really you in the picture?
Australia is such a fantastic and full of treasures continent.
I always enjoy reading stories about Australia, and it must be a beautiful place to explore. Wish I could afford to travel there.

"Marth warns Chrom that Exalt Emmeryn will be assassinated. The plot is thwarted, but Marth is revealed to be a woman - and one with knowledge of the future."
—Opening Narration
Foreseer (One who knows the Future in the Japanese version) is Chapter 6 of Fire Emblem Awakening. This chapter takes place in Ylisstol.
The script for this chapter can be found here.
|The following part of this article contains strategy; therefore, it is subjective, and may not work for everyone.
This chapter has two main objectives: Defeat all of the enemies and protect Emmeryn. The map has Chrom's army assisted by Marth, who is an NPC and cannot be recruited. There are also two characters that can be recruited in this chapter: Gaius and Panne. Out of all maps in the game, this is the first and one of the few defensive oriented maps.
Since Emmeryn is in the inner most room, doesn't move from her spot and there is only one opening into her room, she shouldn't need any guards standing directly next to her. While it is best to deal with all enemies as swiftly as possible, the numerous thieves need to be dispatched as soon as possible so they cannot pick the door which leads to her room, creating another opening for enemies to attack Emmeryn. Once Gaius has been recruited, avoid picking the door and only have him pick the chest. Marth remains in the same spot, and doesn't move - she generally doesn't need much support, and will heal herself with Parallel Falchion if her health drops too low. Unlike Emmeryn, Marth can "die" with no instant Game Over or future gameplay effects.
In recruiting Gaius, two options are available, either quickly send out Chrom with a mobile unite such as Sumia, Sully, or Frederick to move him close to Gaius and recruit him or lure Gaius by stepping just enough into his range to draw him close. Either have a unit who won't be able to kill him or unequip your units to prevent counter damage. Frederick and Kellam perform well for that task since his low strength means that he'll barely be able to put a dent on them. However both of these strategies will need to be executed quickly before the Dark Mages approach the western walls. Panne will arrive on the map, automatically join on Turn 2, and can be used right off the bat.
A majority of the primary enemy force is comprised of Dark Mages, Fighters, and Thieves. Most of the wall units should be units with high defenses and/or speed such as Stahl, Sully, Frederick, and Lon'qu. In addition, a Rescue staff charge can be used to move Marth to block the center passage. A few supporting indirect units such as Ricken, Miriel, and Virion work nicely for dealing with the Dark Mages. You may need to bring both Lissa and Maribelle on the map, especially on higher difficulties to keep everyone healthy, or optionally, have everyone with Vulneraries for quick relief in case they cannot get to them when they're low on health. Once a majority of the first wave has been killed, a secondary wave accompanied with Validar will begin to move. This second force throws in Cavaliers which could prove difficult for anyone who is not a mage, but should barely be a problem aside from their good movement range. Dealing with all of these grunts leaves the leader, Validar, left to deal with.
Validar is not a stationary boss and will move once a majority of his force has been wiped out. As the first promoted enemy boss encountered in the game, there will be some difference when dealing with him compared to past enemies. On Normal Mode, he actually won't have much difference when compared to previous enemies aside from some slight stat improvements. In Hard Mode, Validar comes with the Anathema skill, and in Lunatic, Vengeance, with a 26% chance to activate, accompanying Anathema. Since Validar is a magic user, a fast unit with workable resistance, like Sumia or the Avatar are effective counters, however Vengeance can be fatal if dealt with incorrectly and can lead to a death of a unit. Should Validar not be the last unit, the remaining grunts should not be anything too difficult to deal with.

I sort of assume these ILM reports have been around and seen by folks.
The collection of reports covers Nov. 76 - Apr. 77... And remember -- Apr. 77 is just a short beat away from the film's final release in May, 77.
As I post these pages, you'll see how thorough George and ILM was about every little detail. Reading them, you'll have to ask yourself whether all these stories folks put forth about meeting with George during this period could have happened, or if they are imaginary fantasies.
From the call sheets and production report, you should have realized STAR WARS was not an easy shoot.
From the ILM reports, you'll see how detailed and how technically innovative STAR WARS was.

The party awakes early the next morning when Rendil knocks on their doors to deliver his aunt Erra's famous breakfast, Kruthik Eggs and Labyrinth Links. After eating, they head off in search of the location marked on the map they received from Charrak the previous night.
Upon arriving, the passage opens into a larger cavern with a raised ledge to one side and three large boulders. Megilwath points out that it can only be an ambush, and he and Aces move into the room. Taking in their surroundings the two notice what appears to be a Bronze Minotaur hiding unsuccessfully, behind one of the boulders. At that moment, two tieflings who were hidden upon the upper ledge spring up and begin attacking the Mul and Drow. The Bronze Warder rushes out from his hiding spot and slams into another boulder wedging it into the passageway mostly blocking the exit. Knowing heir friends are in trouble, Krushi, Mentathenis and the Maven attempt to push the boulder out of the way but its a little too large for them to budge further than a foot or two. It's enough for Mentathenis to Fey Step to the other side and Krushi and the Maven climb their way over through a two foot gap between the top of the boulder and the passage ceiling.
Megilwath manages to make his way up to the raised ledge to harass the two tieflings while the Bronze Warder continues to plow over and cleave the rest of the party. Once the two tieflings are killed off, they all focus on the Warder. Krushi is particularly effective against the construct with her Lightning piercing, and after a few thunderous attacks and bolts, the Bronze Minotaur is shut down.
Searching the bodies of the tieflings, Mentathenis uncovers two letters and an amulet of command. One of the letters is a message from the missing mage Paldemar to the two henchmen telling them to do away with the adventurers quickly. The other is a message addressed to Maldrick Scarmaker of the Blackfang Gnolls. It is an offering of the corpses of the party to the Gnoll Chieftan.
Aces pushes the boulder out of the way far enough for the party to rejoin with Modreg and Terrlen, and they all continue on towards the Well of Demons. Terrlen leads the party on a short cut that takes them down into the cisterns again. As they round a bend near one of the underground pools, a pack of Kruthiks comes swarming towards them.
Aces immediately rushes forward with Megilwath to attempt a bottleneck between two large rocky crags. The Hive Lord moves up to the two and spews acid all over, which splashes past them hitting Krushi and the Maven as well. The five Kruthik adults move forward and burrow under the two on the front line. Everyone begins unleashing attacks on the Hive Lord, when the adults reemerge in the middle of the party. They slash at the halfling, elf, mul and drow. Mentathenis manages to stay away from the slicing claws. Again the Hive lord emits a blast of acid all over the party. The adults manage to split the party even more, ripping at Krushi and the Maven pushing them back. After more acid and clawing the Maven falls unconscious, but is revived by the help of Krushi and Megilwath. Mentathenis is pushed back by two Kruthiks and chased down relentlessly until he falls unconscious. Modreg is able to administer a potion of healing to the eladrin reviving him. Krushi gets chased down as well, and knocked unconscious by a hungry adult. Mentathenis attempts to attack two Kruthik Adults on Aces, and draws their attention back to him. They burrow away from Aces and emerge to rip into and lay out Mentathenis a second time. Megilwath makes his way to Krushi and stabilizes her then manages to give her some bandaging. Aces finishes off the Hive Lord and turns her attention toward the adults. The Maven rushes over to help Mentathenis and is able to get him up, but he makes the mistake of attempting to crawl away, and once again the Kruthiks give chase. They slash into him and the Eladrin perishes. One of the Kruthiks immediately begins consuming the body. The Maven runs back around to the other side of the crags to avoid the carnage and help Aces and Megilwath. Krushi flings volleys of her lightning and thunder into the reptilian creatures, and the Mul and Drow work together to slowly pick off the rest including the one eating Mentathenis' corpse.
When the battle is done, they gather what's left of the eladrin and the Kruthik's carapaces and rush back to the Temple of Hidden Light in the Seven Pilared Hall. The priestess Phaledra greets them and tells them she can bring their friend back from the dead for the price of 500 gold. They agree and she begins the Raise Dead ritual.
In the fog of death, Mentathenis can make out the image of his father Kallorel Starfeon, who looks as though he is lost, even more so than usual. His eyes are vacant and staring through his son's soul. His image wisps away to be replaced by the image of another Eladrin. This one female with shining silver hair and crystal blue eyes. she turns towards Mentathenis as if alerted that he is in danger.
When Mentathenis awakes, he talks about his visions with Phaledra and as the fog thins, he realizes that the woman is a cohort and old friend of his father. Her eladrin name is Saranine Lunathalia, but her true name is Saranathia, The Radiant Dawn. She is not actually an eladrin at all but a venerable silver dragon. Krushi and Megilwath wait patiently while Mentathenis ponders these visions, then they help him up and head to the Halfmoon Inn.
Aces, Modreg and Terrlen visit Gendar to give him the Kruthik carapaces, and he is shocked that they came through for him so quickly. He offers the team another job going after a tarnished silver crown that an insane dwarf of the labyrith named Thain Cardanas, carries on his person.
The mul agrees and the three also head back to the inn to recover and fight another day.

We recently received some facebook messages from our circle of friends stating that Devious has been found in the IMDB. Blimey. We thought that was for professional i.e. proper films and tv shows. We have no idea who put it on the system, and we find it interesting the people they have listed which we think they have culled form the website, or maybe from our, wait for it... wikipedia entry !
Good grief. Nothing to do with us - we have no idea how these things get there, but then no-one told us about the War Games clip from Devious being re-edited by someone on youtube, or the Comic Relief sketch getting a couple of million hits as someone had also uploaded that. Still, it's exposure for fan-made films - proof of the determination and enthusiasm that exists out there for projects like ours. As long as everyone realises we do this for fun, and we are NOT the real thing or ever want to be confused for it (highly unlikely). We think that The Never Was (also out there in the ether on youtube) demonstrates that Devious is a love letter to Doctor Who by a bunch of dedicated fans. When you finally get to see it - and we're working on it honest - then you'll see the nods and winks to the real thing.
The Whoniverse (yes, we said it) is so big now there is room for all this ancilliary stuff, and it is understood for what it is. Personally we ignore the IMDBs and Wiki's and just try to spend time of this prkect when we can. We're grateful we have a following and want to give you our own news as soon as we can.
And on that front, today a new version of the central section of episode one was sent round to the team ready for discussion on Thursday.
cheers speak soon
UPDATED 23rd December 2016Well in a quick update we'd like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year. We did meet that Thursday and the one after and as a result of this and futher work, a particular scene in episode one is looking and sounding just right now. And further to our "mentioned in despatches" item above we'd like to note that Stephen Cranford from the Devious Team has been namechecked in the Doctor Who Monthly 2016 Yearbook, along with a photo of him on stage at the big Excel event back in November where he was a presenter and interviewer. The photo shows him with The Mire!And our friend Shawn Levy was also featured a few pages away in a section on cosplay. Shawn is depicted as the Second Doctor. Great stuff!

Continuing coverage of recent WT stories
The Path to the Channels Network Imaging Corp. (WT, June 13) has announced its second partnership since hiring Jim Leto of PRC. Electronic Data Systems Corp. and NIC have announced the formation of a three-year strategic partnership. EDS will market, distribute and support NIC's 1View family of products. Prior to Leto's role as president and CEO of NIC, the company generated revenues through direct sales. It hired Leto to help steer the company toward the channels.
Coherent Shows Market Gains Coherent Communications, Leesburg, Va., has found the right niche in telecom (WT, Jan. 25). The international company that specializes in echo cancellation for digital and acoustic communications, reported net income for the second quarter of $2.3 million or $0.15 per share on sales of $13.2 million. Daniel McGinnis, CEO of Coherent, says sales to the cellular industry in the United States and to the international long distance carriers in Japan and Latin America were especially strong. However, strong increases in sales of both transmission and teleconferencing equipment in North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America were partially offset by a slowdown in the European market, when compared to the same quarter in 1995. To prepare for future growth, the company opened customer assistance offices in Tokyo's Shinjuku sector and in Bejing, and has placed an executive in Singapore to open a permanent office.
TelQuest Denied Request by FCC The Federal Communications Commission denied a request by TelQuest Ventures, Stamford, Conn. (WT, June 13) to sell a new kind of direct broadcast satellite service. TelQuest had planned to use airwaves from Canada because the company claimed there is not enough spectrum left in the United States allotted for that business. AT&T and MCI Communications Corp. complained to the FCC that TelQuest should not be allowed to use foreign airwaves. The FCC denied TelQuest's application on procedural grounds, which still leaves a door open for the company.
