As more poker sites decide whether they are in or out of the U.S. market (
And as with many things in life, there is some good news…and some bad news.
First, the bad news: There are eight states in the union in what we like to call the U-S-and-A that do not have a lottery.
However, there is a silver lining to this: lotteries are still hotter in most states than Grey's Anatomy babe Katherine Heigl (at right, supporting one of those illicit wagering and poker sites, Bodog, which means she's a naughty little girl…so naughty). In fact, there are 42 states that currently DO have lotteries right now (and guess WCP readers who are "inside the beltway," Washington DC has one too!).
To this, we gotta say:

Is this software still being updated?
I have a tiny but frustrating issue. When ammending records, can it be sorted so the tree does not keep collapsing.
If I am deleting a months worth of flights say, every flight date I click and delete. I then have to go back, select the year and month again before I can delete the next.
I also can't do multiple selections, or delete a months or years worth of daat in one go.
Just a minor one really. Superb software, and now onto its 4th years use!

Salute or Sting – or both?
On the face of it, Sting, dubbed The Greatest One Night Reggae and Dancehall Show on Earth, and Rebel Salute are opposites - even opposing - events. In any given calendar year, they are held 12 months apart. Rebel Salute is staged on the weekend closest to founder Tony Rebel's January 15 birthday, while Supreme Productions boss Isaiah Laing often points out that Sting has been held on its Boxing Day date for three decades.
Rebel Salute marked 21 years in January 2014.
However, if we look at Sting and Rebel Salute in consecutive years as being less than a month apart - as in Sting 2013 was on December 26 at Jamworld, Portmore, and Rebel Salute 2014 on January 17 and 18 in Priory, St Ann - then the dates are very close. And, with the attempted sanitisation of Sting 2013 due to pay-per-view broadcast and Rebel Salute presenting Bounty Killer as Rodney Price this year, the events have obviously moved much closer in their respective personalities.
Even more than that, I suggest that Sting and Rebel Salute were not that different in the first place; that the two large-scale concerts reflect differing, even contradictory, but not opposing sides of the same Jamaican personality. And that is perfectly natural for a country which has produced the image of a black God in Haile Selassie, yet where skin bleaching is prevalent at all socio-economic levels of the society.
We contrary bad bad.
Among the obvious differences between Sting and Rebel Salute are location and line-up. Since its inception at Cinema 2, New Kingston, in 1983, Sting has been an urban event. Its
various locations - the National Stadium and now Jamworld in Portmore - have all been in urban areas, fitting the 'walk foot' nature of much of its committed clientele.
On the other hand, Rebel Salute is a rural event. Started in Mandeville (which qualifies as 'country', even though it is the Manchester capital), it moved to Port Kaiser, St Elizabeth, (about as remote a venue as one can get), and now is at Grizzly's Plantation Cove, Priory, St Ann.
Historical clashes
Another prime difference is the format of the events. Sting is renowned for deejay clashes, among the more prominent being Lady Saw's exquisite evisceration of Macka Diamond last year; KipRich's shellacking of Matterhorn and Merciless (the latter on his own in 2011 and teaming up with the former in 2012); Kartel's loss to Mavado in 2008 (let those who want to debate who won do so); the on-stage punch-up of Ninja Man by Kartel's pals in 2003; Merciless taking on Bounty, Beenie and Ninja in 2000; Beenie vs Bounty in 1993; Ninja against Supercat in 1991; and Ninja's destruction of Shabba Ranks in 1990.
Compared to that is Rebel Salute's track record of presenting outstanding Jamaican performers who had not been on stage in the country for some time. There was Jimmy Cliff in 2005; there was Burning Spear, Inner Circle; and The Congos in 2006; Johnny Osbourne in 2012; Shinehead and Aswad in 2013.
Their reputations are not to be left out. Both pulling large audiences, Rebel Salute is known to be incident free. However, while there has not been a major on-stage (Popcaan bouncing Ryno off the stage in 2012 does not count) or crowd incident in some time, Sting's 'fling' reputation is hard to shake.
Of course, with Salute having gone to a two-day format since 2013, coinciding with its move to St Ann, while Sting remains a one-day event, there is a big
difference in running time. Put it this way: Sting does not offer a camping option.
But there are similarities other than the two events being survivors of a stage show landscape, where almost all have faded. One is that they have both come from the ground up to become mammoth events. Unlike Reggae Sunsplash or Sumfest, for example, they did not begin as large-scale enterprises. And this has everything to do with who started them - a police detective for Sting and a Rastafarian singjay for Rebel Salute. They would not have had the wherewithal and connections to start big in an era before large-scale sponsorship.
Another similarity between Sting and Rebel Salute (maybe connected to the origins of their originators) is the difficulty in obtaining and retaining sponsorship - and the dramatic change in situation over December 2013 and January 2014. Sting went through LIME, Rum Fire, and Guinness all in the first decade of the 2000s. Over the same period, Salute had its time with LIME, D&G Malta, and Pepsi.
Sting's sponsorship difficulties are related to the hardcore nature of the event, Rebel Salute's to its no meat, no alcohol (not even 'onecohol' Tony Rebel is fond of saying) mantra. However, they both had major input from the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) at their most recent stagings. And, starting with Sting 2012 and Rebel Salute 2013, they were sponsored heavily from within the business of Jamaican popular music, Sting by Downsound Records (this may have changed, one can never tell which way the penny will land at the end of the day) and Rebel Salute, by its own umbrella Organic Heart Group of Companies.
Shared performers
And they have had performers in common - and not just the same people, but entertainers presenting different sides of their personalities. So there is one side that is suitable for Sting and another that is apt for Rebel Salute. Continuing a trend that I first saw implemented by Worrell King of King of Kings Promotions (organiser of Western Consciousness), Rebel Salute has presented Lady Saw as Marion Hall in 2010 - and her gutting of Macka Diamond was one of the high (or, for some, low) points on Sting 2013. Beenie Man, a staple on Sting, appeared on Rebel Salute 2009 as Ras Moses.
Then this year, there was Rodney Price, who performs mostly as Bounty Killer. And it is he, in his inimitable style, who located a common ground between Sting and Rebel Salute, which resonated with the audience. In the last third of his performance, Bounty Killer said: "An mi no want no man feel like when mi deh a Rebel Salute a sing bout girl a no culture. Woman a de bigges part a my culture, mi no know bout dem. An any man no involve woman inna him culture, he's a vulture. An a Rasta have de mos gal bout ya. A whe some bway feel like?"
It is a statement that would have gone down equally well with a Sting audience.
So we do not have to choose between Rebel Salute and Sting. I certainly have not. Since 2000, I have attended most stagings of both, and, in the main, enjoyed them thoroughly. They appeal to different sides of my appreciation of Jamaican popular culture, much as they both pull in large audiences from the same population each year.
And they are here to stay, I would hope.

I grew up on shipboard. My family being old and distinguished mainly in the imperial navy I was following the family tradition.
So I hear father is involved in the Chexian Armada intent on scouring the Shackles free from Pirates, can't say I am surprised. Always known that he had a deep burning hatred for Pirates. Married though? I never thought he would get over mothers death. Old Admiral Avery marrying without his son there to enjoy the party.
How rude.
I Also suspect that he knows where I am, let's face it people already know my name, soon I am sure it will be on everyone's lips… I guess I should take some responsibility for what happened, I did not have to kill the swine but by the gods he deserved it. It was a duel, the rules were not exactly broken. Anyhow my life is better out of the Navy than in it, I was not made to follow orders.
I don't know if they seek me, thought it best not to risk it. The dead Lord had powerful friends back in the capital.
The pirate life suits me, freedom to go where I please, to do what I want. To forge my own legend as the most daring and famous pirate to ever sail the waters.
Old Shoguns and sharp swords.
Alicia might well get me killed one of these days. Her flaming tattoo map only being translated by the bloody High Shogun himself… Though I was somewhat distracted by his daughter, a real stunner that one. Though I did see the look Alicia gave her, something the girl seemed to enjoy, that's for sure.
We ended up at the Shogun's father, he translated the map for us… It showed way to the legendary hoard of Cyrus Wolf, who was the most legendary and famous pirate of them all, well at least until I take his place. Turns out the son the old Shogun was planning on betraying us and sailing out to take the treasure himself.
Fuck that.
The old man had courage, I grant you that. He sensed his end was near and asked us to ease his passing. I am not one to be shy. I took up his blade, as my fingers touched the metal I felt something. Like a recognition, perhaps it could read the fates and see the riches and glory that lay ahead of me?
The man plunged his knife into his guts.
I know when my time comes I want it to mean something… Though let's face it I am not going to die anytime soon!
I took the old guys head.
The hilt of the blade went hot, the blood on the metal seeming to darken and then absorb into the metal itself. I felt an instant of communion as Useme's soul become part of the weapon. My eyes were drawn to Alicia and Amerasru luckily they were too distracted by the old mans passing to notice anything out of the ordinary.
We had to make it back to the ship and get the hell out of there and find the lost riches before any other greedy hands got there first. We didn't flee, but I admit we made good speed as we ran for The Last Laugh.
No one noticed the Beast as it erupted out of the ground and leapt at us, I nimbly dodged aside, Black was that instant too slow and took the brunt of it's charge.
I slew the beast, the black bladed katana quickly dispatching its head from its misbegotten shoulders. As the beast died I could feel the old Shoguns satisfaction coming from deep in the blade, clearly some mystical connection formed as I used the blade to ease his suffering.
Blackmatch did not make it, the beast pretty much ripped off poor Blackie's head from his shoulders. We paused, making ready to carry our companion back for a proper send off but even the fates had not finished with my pilot, the side of the cliff heaved, throwing his body out deep into the waters. Bloody bad luck that, I didn't even get a chance to grab Sandara's hat before the bloody deaths claimed his body.
Though we all know he had the social graces of a wounded shark no one could say he was a coward. Let's be honest, not many a man would venture into a Ghoul Fuck Tent, let alone return for seconds. I remember meeting him for those first few days, down in the bilge he drawn steel on me. By Besmara he even had the audacity to swing at me with his knife… I spared him though I do admit I never forgotten that instant.
He died well and I shall miss him.
Inconvenienced by Blackmatch's death I had to take the wheel myself, though how much skill was his or from the blessed hat of Besmara he stole from Sandara is a good question. Will need to pick up a new pilot, some good enough to fill Black Matches shoes. That is not going to be easy.
We sailed with all speed to Mancatcher Cove. I saw Alicia and Amaterasu whispering sweet nothings as they cling together. God knows what her game is this time, but what I do know is that it takes more than 5 seconds, a kiss and snuggle to fall in love. She come and spoke to me, I think she expected me to be angry or something. I guess the easiest lies are those that we tell ourselves.
I am not going to get in their way, it's likely for the best anyhow, it's not like I loved her and she was probably just using me. Though I admit she was good company, maybe I should talk her round.
Anyhow my love is for Besmara alone, and God knows it will be good to have our Priest ship side once more.
Turns out that Amaterasu is some kind of ninja, though between us I think she is more likely to cut herself than do any real damage. She was throwing these little discs about, not sure what she expected them to do against something the size of that beast, maybe she was just trying to distract the beast? I will have to pick up a good pistol for her… Something pretty and packing a good punch. She is a distracting girl, I can see what Alicia sees in her. An exotic beauty, reminds me of that girl I picked up at Tiger Lillies, I wonder if she has the same talents?
With her come a warrior named Hajiko, he looked like a real Samurai out of legend. Old and experienced with a steady hand. Looks real handy with his oversized Katana, I was planning on recruiting someone to lead the boarding crews, a Master of Marines even. He did say stuff about oaths, and that he broke his oath to the Shogun. Good on him, any oath to that bastard should be broken at least once.
Mancatcher Cove
With my hand on the wheel we made best time ever, though I suspect that Tua Tura with the right training will make a right skilled pilot. It's good to be able to rely on someone, even if it's a seven foot mountain of a lizard. He is a quick learner, he can even communicate properly now to the rest of the crew.
I spotted the shrouded cove, it was almost invisible but sharp eyes can pierce even the most hidden of treasure. Out of the Cove come the most disgusting ship I have had the misfortune of laying my eyes upon, even the most poor hard up begger would have been embarrassed to be anywhere near it. I took the reigns from Tua Tura and maneuvered for the attack.
On board the wreak was some bitch, covered in tattoos far too similar to Alicia's for my liking… She filed down her teeth, she almost seemed to fit in with the the filth she had masquerading as crew. The bitch was powerful, sending huge blasts of lightening into the Last Laugh, seeing that she needed more than Lightening to take us down she summoned a torrent of fire down onto me. I ignored the flaming rain and focused my will against the witches foul power as it attempted to throw me up into the sky. Rosie was not so fortunate. The poor girl was thrown up high and landed with a sickening lifeless crunch.
She killed one of my crew, for that alone I will hunt her from one ocean to the next.
I outmaneuvered the wreak, ordering the cannons to fire we filled her full of lead. Alicia putting her rigging ablaze soon slowed the wreak down. With one last burst of cannon fire we almost spilt the excuse for a ship apart. With a skilled twist of the wheel I pulled alongside and the grapples were thrown.
Sighting the Witch, I leaped across the decks and dodged past her sorry excuse for a crew and put my sword deep into the bitch's ribs. Clearly surprised and outclassed by my skill the witch retreated back from my onslaught, she reached out stealing the life's force of one of the men defending her in some paltry attempt to protect herself. I cut her once more, I could feel the Black blade thrusting for her blood and vengeance, if it was the old Shogun or the Blade communicating I was not sure. I took a moment to ponder what would happen if her soul joined that of the old Shogun Useme's but she killed Rosie and had to die. As I made ready to take her head she stepped back, leaping over board and vanished beneath the waves.
The bitch, the cowardly scum. She will get what is coming, that I swear even if I have to sail every known sea.
There was not much loot to gain from the junk, taking what was worthwhile we let the wreak sink and made our way into Mancatcher Cove.
We went ashore to search the beach, finding nothing of interest we took the boat back and started for the Last Laugh, nearing the ship we were ambushed by giant sharks and fish men. Tua Tura and the Hajiko the Master at Arms cut into the beasts quickly dispatching the foolish creatures.
Things were looking like they would be quickly settled until the canopy above our heads shambled into life. Even the bravest pirate struggles to fight such a creature. It throw down huge tendrils which ripped into the men, one man it grasped and lifted up to its cursed maw and swallowed him whole.
Seeing that this fiend was a real threat to my men and ship I threw myself back onto the Last Laugh, dodging its failing limbs I ran to the mast and started climbing.
I could see my friends and crew look stupidity at me with mouths wide open in surprise, but what did they expect? I am not going to let some mouthy horror kill my men. No one gets to harm my men, not without dire consequences.
Sometimes I even surprise myself.
Seeing it rip into my men I threw caution to the wind and almost flew up the rigging to the very top of the mast. Taking my grapple out I sighted on the beast and let fly, my aim as always struck true the grapple securing next to the beast. Climbing the rope, I dodged its attempts to strike me. Now I was close to the beast I could smell its foul breath, steeling myself against the acrid stench I summoned up my focus and with some intense blasts of magic blew the thing apart. Granted, I could have used my magic to become invisible but my men needed to see their Captain respond and put some steel into their spines.
The creature now dead lost its grip on the cliff top, quickly feeling the slack as it gave way and started to fall with me still attached to it. Uttering both a curse and a prayer I turned my fall into a dive… Luckily Alicia had seen the potential danger and had prepared her magics to catch me as I fell. Honestly it was likely Hajiko following in my wake and slipping be off that tipped her off. Will have to thank them both as it would have been a high dive.
We followed the clues and unearthed the burial location of the old Wolfs hoard. Even I was a little aghast when we found that a sinkhole had formed and had sunk the whole loot down deep into the water filled caverns below. Well he old Admiral did teach me that nothing worthwhile comes easy.
Aboard the Devils Breath, a Chelaxian Man O War and Admiral Avery's personal command ship.
Inside the Captain's cabin the admiral speaks to a figure swathed in midnight black, a hood obscuring his features though his eyes gleam softly red. "Report." The admiral commands his tone one used to being obeyed. The figure replies his voice containing an almost snake like quality to it. "I am not yours to command." It replies it's eyes gleaming a deeper now almost blood red. The admiral replies his voice cold steel. "You are a gifted servant one that I will use as I see fit." The creature glares almost murderously but his tone lowers
becoming more servile. "I found him, it was like you said; he was making no pains to hide. He is now Captain of his own Ship, the Last Laugh is how it's known. Tales flow of his exploits for those willing to listen."
The creature pauses, his look calculating. "The mission was successful, the pieces are in place and the boy has no idea." It nods more respectfully "An impressive plan my lord. Getting someone close is a wise, she will…" With a sharp motion of his hand the Admiral cuts the creature off. "Enough." He commands. "Leave me." The creature flourishes a bow and vanishes in a flash of smoke.
"Henry why did you run?" He whispers to a now empty cabin.

BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL – Atlético-MG have won the 2013 Copa Libertadores 4-3 on penalties at the Mineirão Stadium against Paraguayan outfit Olimpia. Having lost the first leg 2-0 last week in Asuncion, Atlético won last night's return leg by the same scoreline with goals from Jô and Leonardo Silva.
That made the aggregate score for the tie 2-2 at the end of ninety minutes. When a further half hour of extra-time failed to separate the sides the final went to spot kicks, just as had happened in the semi-final against Argentine club Newell's Old Boys.
Despite dominating the first half Atlético failed to create any clear cut chances and the Olimpia defense dealt easily with the hosts' threat. But all that changed just a minute into the second half when Jô found the back of the net from Rosinei's cross for his seventh goal of the Libertadores campaign.
Atlético continued to press, spurred on by a 60,000 sell-out crowd. Leo Silva headed against a post and Olimpia goalkeeper Martin Silva made a great save from another header ten minutes later.
Four minutes from time Leonardo Silva leveled the aggregate score. Bernard, in what is likely to be his final game for Atlético as several European clubs pursue his signature, crossed from the right and the big defender rose highest to send a looping header into the bottom right hand corner of the net.
Atlético goalkeeper Victor saved the very first penalty to give Atlético the advantage. The Brazilian club scored all their penalties and when Giménez struck Olimpia's fifth effort against the post as Atlético were crowned victorious, winning the shoot-out 4-3.
The Copa Libertadores is the most prestigious trophy in South American football. As continental champions, Atlético will now take place in the FIFA World Club Championship in December, which Corinthians won last year.

Maybe you've already seen this, but for me, this video was new.
And it made my heart swell with JOY that someone could home in so accurately on the many hats a teacher wears on any given day.
To me, it seemed as if Brian used his experience to express his appreciation in a way that celebrates ALL of us...
I work at a small school. The secretaries are the nurses and counselors, the teachers are often PTA board members and always committee members, the librarian helps with noon duty, and the principal can't always guess what her next task might be. This amounts to a few people doing many things.
We don't always remember to say thank you to each other because we are so busy. Even during this special week, we're still finishing testing, planning Open House, and getting ready for field trips and report cards and promotion. I'd like to believe that parents and students don't always say thank you because the note reminding families about the significance of this day/week doesn't always get sent home (or brought home!) because it was on someone's To Do list and it didn't get done in time.
As a small school, we sometimes group our celebrations together. So, this week, we are having a Staff Appreciation luncheon, where we will celebrate ALL of the people who work together to support our students.
Right now I am giddy with excitement and anticipation. SECRETLY, I have taught all of the sixth graders the words and signs to the song that Brian wrote from his heart.
We have some deaf teachers, assistants, and students at our school, so we often add sign language to our presentations. This always makes something wonderful even more beautiful.
So when the staff settles in to enjoy their picnic lunch, a sixth grader will step forward signing that first lovely verse... to be joined by more and more sixth graders until the whole group is signing with their hands and with their hearts to all of the people that have guided them through the years. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it... especially since no one but the kids and the interpreters are in on our surprise!
So... Here is the video from YouTube.
If it touches you too, be good to Brian Asselin and Eric Disero. You can purchase this song from his website or iTunes, CD Baby or Amazon.
In case you're wondering, we've chatted on e-mail, and Brian seems just as sweet "in real life" as you would have guessed by his song.
Sit back, grab a tissue, and feel appreciated...
See... Lovely, isn't it?
Wishing you a Wonderful Teacher Appreciation Day or Week... however you celebrate.
And, even if it is just a cyberhug from a BloggerFriend (or warm wishes in song-form from Brian), consider yourself appreciated!

Dora observatory is located in South Korea on the edge of the DMZ. From the observatory, tourists can view the Demilitarized Zone and North Korea through binoculars. A propaganda village and Hyundai's Gaseong Industrial Complex are also visible. Those who want to take photography are required to do so behind a yellow "Photo Line." Unfortunately, it's very difficult to see the DMZ from that vantage point.

Me- "Hey Jenn!"
Jenn- "Hey, how are you?"
Me- "Doing great! Do you want to come by and catch up over coffee tomorrow?"
Jenn- "Ohhh my gosh, I would LOVE to!"
Me- "It's a date, in fact…make it a party!"
Jenn- "A party?"
Me- "That's right, Coffee-mate has their seasonal flavors out and we are trying them all!"
Jenn- "Sounds fun! I can't wait, thanks Jen!"
You guys. Coffee-mate is my #1 choice in coffee creamer. Coffee is my addiction, so it's fair to say I drink loads of coffee and creamer weekly. I don't know about you, but when the Seasonal line of Coffee-mate creamers come out ..I can be found running to the store to purchase!
So as you can see from my conversation with my sweet friend Jenn, a tasting party was in order. I went to the store, grabbed the festive creamers knowing they are only out through December, I grabbed two of each! {Mama's got a coffee drinking problem…move along} I was super excited to see the Eggnog Latte and Peppermint Mocha back on the shelves, but something new was chilling right next to them. Dark Chocolate Fudge..get out of town, I mean, get in my cart! We need to taste you!
- Dark Chocolate Fudge -- Rich, dark and indulgent like only chocolate fudge can be. Enjoy a cup of coffee that's every chocolate lover's dream come true.
- Peppermint Mocha -- Enjoy one of the season's most popular flavors! Let the comfort of crisp peppermint and chocolatey mocha warm you up this holiday season.
- Eggnog Latte -- What would the holidays be without the flavor of Eggnog? Invite over some guests and prepare a holiday flavored latte for everyone on your list.
So with my table set, my sweet friend Jenn on her way, I eagerly sat awaiting this fun coffee day!
We started with pouring our coffee. Good Morning gorgeous.
Then the hard part. Which creamer should we try first? We went with the Eggnog Latte! It had perfect subtle spices accompanied with great aroma. It tasted smooth and festive with just the right mix of flavors.
We laughed, talked about girl stuff and laughed some more. When our coffee mugs were empty, in went more. We both fell in love with the NEW Chocolate Fudge Creamer. Honestly, I have to say I was a bit hesitant on this one. I just really couldn't see chocolate going well with coffee. Then it hit my lips, and Bam. Bingo was his name-o this creamer was delicious! The perfect amount of chocolate flavor was added, not too bold…just right. It was a very nice treat.
Still chatting it up, talking about the Holidays and whats in store … then came Peppermint Mocha - A huge SCORE! The flavor is phenomenal! Just the perfect hint of peppermint, my gosh we could drink this all day long! Maybe we did ;)
I can tell you this much. I found the recipe below and have been itching to give it a try- oh my gosh! Sounds divine!
I just have to say thank you to my friend Jenn for coming over and spending some quality girl time with me. It is so important to do this, catch up and laugh. We thoroughly enjoyed each Coffee-mate Seasonal creamer. They helped us get all geared up for the Holiday madness that's about to start.
Words of advice from the Jen's : Stock up on Coffee-mate's Seasonal Flavors for the perfect cup of coffee that will forever savor.

Please include in your "Comments" message what your idea is to incorporate George Washington, or any of several other Founding Fathers, Jefferson, Henry, Monroe, or Lincoln, into a unique motivational, inspirational, educational, and entertaining presentation on the Core Value of "For America's future (building up on our past)"
We can then discuss by email or phone your targeted dates for your program or event.
If we work together in advance, and that is what you wish to occur, "George Washington" can help you substantially to increase the media exposure for your event and organization.
"George Washington" has several times been on national television and radio, and his picture has been in newspapers all across America, and even in the Economist of London.
When you meet THIS George Washington and experience one of his presentations, the Spirit of GW is alive and you will feel like you have met the "real thing".
Don't delay, contact us today!
Remember that General Washington planned, coordinated and executed the Victory at Trenton in 7 days, and also envisioned victory, planned for Victory years later at Yorktown, then stayed the course to final peace before resigning to the Congress in Annapolis 7 years later.
Whether 7 days, 7 months, or even 7 years in the future,...
"Now is the time for all good men..." ("man" includes both genders, as presidents, principles, or principals, and too, meeting planners) "...to come to the aide of their country..." or their company, college, conference, convention, civic organization, church, or class, contact:
George Washington may or may not be able to match your schedule, but one of the several Founding Fathers (alternate interpreters) could stand in most capably. Please send your question as a comment, and we will see who can create a positive "Revolution" in your group.
Thank you. I look forward to working with you.
Your most humble & obedient servant,
James Renwick Manship, Sr.
Aide to GW

Festival concert in Monasterevin's Moore Abbey
The dulcet tones of the piano used by the great Irish tenor, Count John McCormack, will resonate around the Baronial Hall, Moore Abbey once again.

The concert features acclaimed baritone, Denis McArdle, accompanied by Gillian Saunders on piano, and internationally acclaimed musician Dianne Marshall will also give a recital on the harp.
The real business of the festival commences on Saturday morning, 26 July, in the Baronial Hall when well published Beckett scholar Dr. Arthur Broomfield will open the proceedings with a paper at 10am.
The second paper of the morning will be delivered by academic Dr. Michael O'Dwyer, followed by Irene Kyffin.
In the afternoon commencing at 3pm in Monasterevan House, Kerry born poet, Noel King will read from some of his works.
Noel will be followed by Dianne Marshall in an impromptu session on the harp at 3.30 and this will be followed by 'My Favourite Hopkins Poem' session when all and sundry can contribute with their favourite poem by Hopkins.
The organising committee is greatly appreciative of the congregations in Moore Abbey and Monasterevan House and for the generosity of the sponsors without whom it would not be possible to hold the festival.

I quickly looked for the drawing scene online and as I expected, she was NOT fat. What was this film professor talking about? The author even mentioned at first that Kate's figure was "historically accurate". What were these people seeing that I was not seeing? This reminded me of a day I was teaching a Social Psychology class. I don't remember the specific articles that we were discussing but it was relevant for me to post pictures of women with different weights. I posted this picture of Lindsay Lohan:
All of this saddens me. I still don't have the words to fully express how this made me feel. We denigrate girls who do not look like stick figures and praise those who are unhealthily thin. Will this ever stop? Will we ever promote being healthy over being stick thin? I don't want my nieces and nephews to grow up thinking that stick thin is the ideal. I don't want my niece developing unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. I don't want my nephew dismissing a girl because she doesn't have a 20 inch waist.
I need to head to bed. I'll continue this in the morning.

I would not recommend this for any child's bedroom, but the Deep Sea Angler Lamp by Justin La Doux is an amazing piece of work made entirely out of found objects.
Justin has created an absolutely terrifying gigantic lamp made out of old bike parts, shovels, knives and other old rustic objects. Don't get too close however, because the lamp is also outfitted with motion censor lights that illuminate the entire body once the viewer gets close.
The deep sea angler lamp measures in at five feet tall with a base 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. The lights are all energy efficient and not surprising, Justin entered the ArtPrize contest and got in the top 100 out of 1,700 other artists.

Reflection problem in C#
marvel_magnum replied to marvel_magnum's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThis is how I did it in the end. Comments and suggestions are welcome as usual. :) [source] _operationMap = new Dictionary<Type, Delegate.dlgOperation>(); _operationMap.Add(typeof(float), OperationFloat); ... // Snippet from method where effects are getting applied.... ... foreach (Unit unit in targetUnits) { object op1 = unit.GetType().GetProperty(modifier.effect.baseStat).GetGetMethod().Invoke(unit, null); object op2 = modifier.effect.value; PropertyInfo result = unit.GetType().GetProperty(modifier.effect.resultStat); object retValue = _operationMap[op1.GetType()](op1, op2, modifier.effect.operation); result.SetValue(unit, retValue, null); } ... // One of the handler functions private object OperationFloat(object op1, object op2, BuffsDatabase.Operation operation) { float o1 = (float)op1; float o2 = float.Parse(op2 as String); float result = 0f; switch (operation) { case BuffsDatabase.Operation.ASSIGN: result = o2; break; case BuffsDatabase.Operation.ADD: result = o1 + o2; break; case BuffsDatabase.Operation.MULTIPLY: result = o1 * o2; break; default: DebugUtils.Error("ERROR: Invalid Operation encountered in OperationFloat()!"); break; } return result as object; } [/source] Thing works like a charm now.. Thanks for all your help guys. Love ya!
Reflection problem in C#
marvel_magnum replied to marvel_magnum's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI cannot because I would not know the actual type of the stat that has been read in. This should work for me. I have int, float and 3 types of enums among all my stats so it should be manageable. Even Jeff's suggestion should work for me. I need to get down to the board and find out which one seems better. Will post solution soon. Thanks a lot guys.
Unity Reflection problem in C#
marvel_magnum posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI am writing a small game in Unity3D. There are special effects for the units in the game which take effect and are customizable. I have written a custom script so that the effects can be created on the fly through a data fly. Eg. The below script creates a buffID "Naptha" which give all archers in the player's army a fire arrow; fire damage is 15% of the base attack value. [source] #buff Naptha { mod(SELF,[ARCHER],SpecialType = FIRE) mod(SELF,[ARCHER],SpecialDamage = AttackDamage * 0.15) } #end [/source] A parser parses the file into recognizable tokens. All the stuff in CAPS are enum types. and SpecialDamage, AttackDamage are float properties of the Unit Class among others. Now the idea is to collect the values from the specified properties using reflection, calculate them and then feed back the result. Now I can extract the value of a property like so -- [source]object value1 = testUnit.GetType().GetProperty("AttackDamage").GetGetMethod().Invoke(testUnit, null);[/source] I can even get the type of the property like so -- [source]Type baseStatType = testUnit.GetType().GetProperty("AttackDamage").PropertyType[/source] Here come my problem. I cannot perform calculations with object types and I am not able to cast it to a type first as even the type is determined through reflection. How to proceed with this ? Basically I want something like this to work --- [source] Type baseStatType = testUnit.GetType().GetProperty("AttackDamage").PropertyType object value2 = testUnit.GetType().GetProperty("AttackDamage").GetGetMethod().Invoke(testUnit, null) baseStatType value1 = (baseStatType) value2 * (baseStatType) param; PropertyInfo result = testUnit.GetType().GetProperty("SpecialDamage"); result.SetValue(testUnit, value1, null); [/source] The other way I can think of (but dont want to do) is a dirty switch case based on the propertyname.

There are much better ways to do it. When you got your way working, think about how you can possible make it better. All the best.
When you start moving in a direction, you got to set the flags of all other directions to false. if(key=='a') { movingleft=true; movingright = false; movingup = ... ... } Also there needs to be an else if in the last if blocks. if(movingleft==true) { camerax-=0.001; glutPostRedisplay(); } else if (movingright==true) { ... } else if ..... { ... }
Should I go with XNA or UDK for an Indie action game
marvel_magnum replied to lougv22's topic in For Beginners's ForumUDK is a huge and heavy game tool and its editor is packed with features. Not so ideal for a laptop processor/graphics or its smaller screen size. Unless you move around a lot, getting a desktop would definitely be the way to go.
Best 3d modelling software for beginners?
marvel_magnum replied to Chris941's topic in For Beginners's ForumUnity imports .fbx and .collada formats only. Out of them, the .fbx is the preferred import format. Here is a list of all 3D applications which can generate content compatible with Unity3D - http://unity3d.com/u...ditor/importing Hope this helps.
Unreal Engine 3: Code
marvel_magnum replied to TheSyfrX's topic in For Beginners's ForumUnrealScript is meant for use with unreal engine only and is a highly abstracted scripting language that allows you to focus on writing gameplay without dealing with advanced programming concepts. Performance wise, its much slower than C++, as it uses a middle-ware interpreter to execute. However, for "almost" all gameplay programming needs in UDK, it should suffice. Infact, even Epic suggests to code gameplay with UnrealScript and not C++, unless you are working on really performance driven engine code. Hope this helps.
marvel_magnum replied to ms75214's topic in For Beginners's ForumFirst, they are hand-drawn on by artists on paper with reference from other art from the game to reflect the same style, perspective, etc. Then, they are modelled and textured in Maya. Finally, it comes back as a rendered image and the final touches are applied to it in Photoshop. So yes, that's as correct as you can get.
Creating graphics for a full screen game? What dimensions?
marvel_magnum replied to glhf's topic in For Beginners's ForumThis is totally uncalled for. What Legendre said, is not entirely untrue and very much reflects REAL life situations in REAL game studios and I know what I am talking about. As for you glhf, how many games have you designed previously for REAL? Not much, I'm guessing from the topic of your first post. The topic has become something that is very unlike gamedev.net. I think its time someone closed off this topic!
Senior Project - XNA
marvel_magnum replied to Hadzz's topic in For Beginners's ForumThere are some good books for C# with XNA. I would personally recommend the Packt one (http://www.packtpub.com/xna-4-0-game-development-by-example-beginners-guide/book) but there are other great ones as well. If you absolutely MUST start making a game right NOW with C#, then try using Unity3D. Its forums have lot of examples on the scripting required. Good luck!

Fluid Engineering Continues to Evolve to Thrive
Fluid engineering is a small Erie company, with a worldwide reach.
"We market in 84 different countries. Most of them are in Southeast Asia, the middle east or South America. Plus the United States, Canada and Mexico," said Carl Steiner, CEO of Fluid Engineering.
Steiner has been with the company from its creation, in 1976. Back then, it was all about making gas compressor parts in a small garage. But now, it's different.
"Right now our customer base is tied up into oil, water, and gas. I'm using those very general," said Steiner.
The 35 employees make all kinds of parts, some big, some small, but it all comes down to one main component that defines their products.
"Everything we make is some sort of a filter," said Steiner.
Filters for water pipelines, oil, gas, even corn ethanol. You name it and they can probably make it.
"One nice asset about the job is it's always different. You're always coming in with different specifications with customers and what is required and you're always having to design around what the requirement is so it's not something that's straight out of a book," said Rick Jackson, the senior vice president of operations.
It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride since 2008 at Fluid Engineering with the downturn in economy. They lost a few workers and scaled back production a bit, but they're confident in the future and they say they've always found a way to evolve.
"Whatever pops up. We change. We're always looking for that challenge to do something different," said Mike Rendon, the manager of engineering.
"We've been up and down with the past economy. We've seen a downturn, but we've done different things. Since we are also selling overseas, it seems like when the us market is down, we are able to see an up shoot in the international market," said Jackson.
And as they continue to evolve, they're getting excited about something new.
"Right now we're looking at some new markets. We're looking at shale gas and we're also looking at shale oil. We think there's a big market that's going to come out of this," said Steiner.
And one thing they're certainly proud of is being worldwide, but located in Erie, Pennsylvania, in the United States of America.
"It's not a big giant company where you've got certain people doing certain things, we're all involved with what we do so it's definitely an American made product and I'm proud to be a part of it," said Rendon.

Feet up
'Sitting at a desk with my feet up / on the bottom drawer, reading manuscripts' – the opening lines of Louis Simpson's poem 'Publishing Days'. This is still my default position. Sometimes with the feet a bit higher (above, this morning). Sometimes my toenails need a trim.
(Remember the notion of the 'paperless office'? Wikipedia cites a journal using this phrase in 1975, then another journal reporting that worldwide use of office paper more than doubled between 1980 and 2000. Bookless publishers? Unlikely. It's not as if books are going to just go away.)
The CBe website has no submission guidelines, so what comes in is a mix of email attachments and hard copy, sample pages and whole books, which is fine, but if I'm going read anything – as opposed to skim onscreen to decide whether or not I do want to read it – then I need it on paper. Resting your feet on is what bottom drawers, windowsills too, are for.

You're using: A matte lipstick
Swap it for: A lip crayon
The best thing about the latest lip crayons (like those from Nars and Clinique, above) are their goof-proof application. You get a great pop of colour that is not too heavy, and these babies will be able to hold up to the heat on a warm summer night. Perfect for re-applying on a girl's night out.
You're using: Your signature scent
Swap it for: A summer fragrance with some heat
If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that I am a HUGE fan of Bobbi Brown's beach perfume. It is always part of my summer repertoire. This year, however, I've branched out with Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess fragrance. One whiff of this coconut tinged tropical scent and I was instantly transported to every sea side vacation I've ever had. Another option (for the chic bottle alone!) - Island by Michael Kors.
You're using: A foundation
Swap it for: A BB Cream
Ever since Beauty Balms hit the cosmetics mainstream a couple of years ago, every company under the sun has come out with their own version. The great thing about a BB cream - you get a myriad of benefits - illumination, priming, moisturizing, sunscreen...along with light coverage, in a single step. Perfect to pare down your routine for the summer months and let that sun-kissed glow shine through. Some of my picks - Estee Lauder, Garnier, and Stila.
You're using: A powder blush
Swap it for: An illuminating liquid bronzer
What better way to top of your new BB cream than by blending in a light bronzer for a little faux-glow. If you haven't noticed the theme in this post, I recently went a little wild at the Estee Lauder counter. I couldn't resist picking up this bronzer!
Happy beautifying Birdies...do you change up your beauty routine for the summer months?

I'm definitely loving statement pants this fall, and this white and black tailored pant i got a few months ago is no exception! It just adds something extra to the outfit without over doing it. I'll definitely be rocking it a lot more in the next couple of months. New video coming up on my channel!

Tushonka is a Russian canned stewed and spiced meat, most commonly pork or beef. 285 million pounds of pork tushonka were produced in the United States during WW2, to Soviet specifications, for Lend-Lease shipment to the USSR. Tushonka is more fatty and gelatinous than either corned beef or SPAM (another great Lend-lease delicacy). Tushonka was commonly used in recipes with buckwheat, potatoes or pasta, or eaten with bread. Tushonka was also adopted as a Soviet Army slang term for tank crew members.

Peter Campillo was absolutely shocked when our loving Good News Network community caught him and his family before they could fall into homelessness. Now in 2015 he wanted to thank us for providing overwhelming hopefulness.
In late December we rallied to boost the meager total on his GoFundMe donation page to more than $4,500. With only days until Christmas, we transformed the family's despair into wonder.
With the help of concerned strangers from as far away as Australia, Peter, his mother, wife and teenage son were able to pay the rent for December and January and also get caught up on all their bills for the first time in "many, many months."
"I am truly blessed and the whole entire family can not thank you or your readers enough," he wrote in an email. "To know that there are still people in this world that still care for their fellow man is heartwarming."
"I was to the point that I really thought no one cared about anyone but themselves anymore, but you all have shown me differently and I thank you for that also."

Not only the money provided solace for Peter. Encouraging messages posted by many donors, including Tahira, Kate, Lisa and Kevin, provided valuable uplift: "Don't loose hope. Believe!" . . . "Keep your head up. It WILL get better!" . . . "May knowing how many people are cheering you on, help you to a better life." . . . "We share similar challenges; I also battle bipolar depression. Hang tough! Things will get better!"
"When I start working again the one thing I would like to do is take the same good will and generosity I got and pay it forward to some other family in need and it would feel real good."
"Thank you for everything and God bless you and all the readers of your blog and newsletter they are AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A recently launched active high-dividend exchange traded fund tries to generate outsized returns through focusing on so-called high-conviction stock picks from among the top fund managers while screening for attractive dividends.
The AdvisorShares Athena High Dividend ETF (DIVI) , which was launched on July 29 and is managed by Dr. Thomas Howard of AthenaInvest Advisors, utilizes behavioral finance to identify component stocks. [AdvisorShares Introduces New High Dividend ETFs]
While the ETF is new, Howard reportedly generated annualized returns of 29.2% over the past five years ended April 30 in his aggressive growth portfolio, writes Charles Sizemore for Forbes.
DIVI selects stocks that are held in the top relative weight positions by active fund investment managers, screens for high dividend securities and allocates by dividend weights.
Compared to other large index-based dividend ETFs, DIVI has a global reach, including exposure to U.S., developed international and emerging market equities, and states that "global diversification" is part of its mandate.
Additionally, compared to other broad dividend ETFs, DIVI also includes real estate investment trusts, mortgage REITs, master limited partnerships, closed-end funds and business development companies, which are all known for their attractive yields.
Lastly, DIVI employs a type of guru-following strategy where the manager selects high conviction stocks of active mutual fund managers, and then screens for attractive dividend payers. [A Gorgeous Guru ETF]
However, potential investors should be aware that the fund is new and only has about $2.4 million in assets under management. So, traders should use limit orders to help better execute positions.
Moreover, the ETF shows a 0.99% expense ratio, which is more expensive than your average ETF, but not excessive for an actively managed ETF.

Marketing to patients continues to evolve with multiple touch points and sources of influence. Patients have come to expect communications to reflect their individual needs – personal challenges, gender, age, communities, and interests. Patients constantly research information about their health through various mediums – on the web, in magazines, and on TV. A successful marketing plan has to cross multiple media types and adapts to an individual's changing needs and preferences.
From e-mail to call center traffic and direct mail, every CRM touch must be part of a personalized feedback loop that continually adapts to, and delivers on, an individual's changing needs and preferences, all the while remaining secure and HIPAA-compliant. Patient marketing must consider lifetime patient value and market accordingly. When a campaign element is not delivering the expected results, strategies and tools must be nimble enough to be adapted quickly to work effectively within the mix. It requires that every touch point enhances the patient experience, gathers and incorporates additional information, and fosters patient adherence and brand loyalty.
EarthColor Pharmaceutical Marketing Services is a technology and data enhancement leader practiced at leveraging data streams to deliver highly personalized, integrated patient communications. Learning from each touch is used to help craft the next—and the one after that— making succeeding touches even more effective.

Right Now: March 3
Listening... to Wicked and Les Miserables on my runs. I never get tired of Broadway show tunes:-) Also love Bruno Mars and always look forward to listening to the Wait Wait Don't Tell me podcast that I listen to as I clean the kitchen on Mondays.
Remembering.... the fun little getaway to Great Wolf Lodge. The girls loved having their friends with them and it sure made it easier on the parents! Love this photo of Nora photobombing Maddy and her friend underwater:-)
Reading.... My personal read is Sisters of the Sari, it started out promising but is feeling a bit forced to get all the pieces tied up at the end. And I don't think it will bring me to tears, which is always necessary for a good book in my opinion! Nora and I are reading Return to the Willows which is reminding me of when I was a girl and read Wind in the Willows. We are enjoying the read aloud time together, especially when we go out for coffee together to read. The family read-aloud is currently Scat which we are enjoying but is nothing amazing. I am looking for a really good one to start after this. Let me know if you have any recommendations. I am feeling like we have gone through so many of the classics and with Maddy getting older and having read so much it is getting harder to find new material that will engage all 4 of us.
Eating... Loving my egg white, spinach, green pepper and onion scrambles topped with pico de gallo and also my daily spinach smoothies. Healthy can be yummy:-) Maddy made crepes with strawberry sauce all from scratch 100% on her own for dinner tonight. DELISH!!!
Enjoying.... The glimpses of spring weather we have had. I have gotten a bit of yard work done and today we enjoyed a full day outside with a family hike (thanks to tohula.com) and then the girls got home and biked in the neighborhood for another hour. Looking forward to more sun, warmth and outdoor fun.
Coveting.... a ceiling without holes in it. The good news is after years of issues the leak FINALLY seems repaired. Now to get the drywall work completed and then we will move on to window replacement. The joys of being a homeowner!!
Watching.... nothing worthy of discussing!! The girls are excited for The Amazing Race to be back on as that is there one prime time reality show that they get to watch.
Thinking.... alot about having a real job next year. I am enjoying planning and preparing for the fun but then have moments of wondering why I am doing this. I am definitely wanting something more in my life to help fulfill me with the girls away all day but then I realize all the freedom I will be giving up and wonder if it will be worth it.
Making... getting ready to make these clay fish with 25 second graders on Friday. I have never done a ceramics project with a class, so am feeling a bit nervous about the process. Wish me luck!!!
So what are you doing RIGHT NOW??? Feel free to play along and share!!

Here's some illustrious, inexhaustible, incisive 'Quid-Pro-Quo' scenarios
you maaay wanna consider before picking-up
your writing utensil for the next bombastically-brilliant-chapter of thy book:
High, girl!
While I realize my penname is quite morbid, yet,
you shall find in our 24 blogs a gobba (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this mortal sinner yeeeeers to compile:
I lay it ALL out for you, dear - neet, packaged, concise.
Nevertheless, wouldn't ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no
with an IQ much higher than K2,
and an extraordinarily, sawcy, rowdy victory??
Here's what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed:
"Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love -
jump into faith...
and you'll see with love"
Doesn't matter if you don't believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a passionate, prolific iconoclasm where you'll find
astronomically prodigious,
immeasurably extensive,
monumentally tremendous,
stupendously substantial,
infinitely irresistible,
(XnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX… )
deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big House.
