A Brief History Of the 'Poltergeist' Curse
It's no secret that the Poltergeist films have had their fair share of bad luck over the years. Just last month we posted about some strange occurrences happening on the set of the remake (which opens on Friday). The original trilogy had no less than four actors die in the 6 years between the three films' releases, which is the "curse" that many people refer to when talking about the films. In light of the release of the remake this week, we thought we would take a look back at the timeline of the infamous Poltergeist curse.
Dominique Dunne – November 4, 1982
The actress best known for playing Dana Freeling in the first Poltergeist film was strangled by her boyfriend just four months after the film was release in 1982. After slipping into a coma, she was declared brain dead and her mother removed her from life support.

Adriana Clemons also knocked out two hits while scoring a run for the Pirates in the game. Padilla picked up the victory in the circle, yielding four runs while striking out five.
THe Pirates took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Padilla led off with a single and was sacrificed to second by Ekman. one batter later Megan Best singled home Padilla for the 1-0 VC advantage.
AVC came back with a controversial run in the top of the third. On a single to right field, the Marauder's base runner attempted to score from second base. The relay throw home arrived in plenty of time for VC catcher Danielle Carmona to put the tag down on the play at the plate. The umpire indicated Carmona was juggling the ball, ruling the baserunner safe, and the game was tied at 1-1.
Padilla pitched out of trouble in the fourth inning with two K's to end the inning with two base runners, and also was able to overcome a lead-off triple by the Marauders in the fifth inning without allowing a score.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Pirate bats arrived in force. With two outs, Clemons singled and Kayla Garcia reached base on an error. Arianna Rivas followed with a base hit to score Clemons, then Padilla had a base knock for an RBI. Ekman and Brittney Banales also followed with RBI singles and the Pirates had a 5-1 lead.

VC held off the Marauders in the top of the seventh, despite a lead-off single, claiming the 5-4 victory forcing a decisive game three.
Ventura 0, Antelope Valley 10 (Game 3)

VC had the bases loaded in the first, and had runners in scoring position in each frame through the fourth, but could not come up with the big hit. The defense also left the Pirates at times, recording three errors that resulted in five AVC unearned runs late in the game. Dahlstedt was 2-3 at the plate for Ventura while Garcia also reached base twice, with a hit and an error.

Ventura seemed to respond in the bottom half of the frame. Dahlstedt opened with a single and Kaylee Neal followed with a sacrifice bunt. Clemons walked, as did Rivas an out later to load the bases. But VC could not come up with the big hit to start the comeback.
Best came on in relief in the circle, shutting down the Marauders for the next two frames, but errors led to three unearned AVC runs in the forth to put the game away.
Banales walked in the second inning, but was stranded at second base. Garcia had a double in the third inning, but also was stranded on base. In the fourth, VC had two walks and an infield single to load the bases, but did not score, once again.

When configuring a firewall, two basic rules can be defined:
It is generally advisable to block everything, only allowing explicitly what you want, as this is the more secure policy. In this case, you need to develop a configuration job prior to installation to allow those services needed for the network to operate correctly.
The allow everything rule greatly simplifies configuration and setup. However, it means you have to foresee all types of possible access that you would want to disable. Therefore, this type of policy implies more work and difficulty.

50 Years in the Making
Post date: May 2, 2016 2:03:20 AM
This is my first real attempt at a vegetable garden in about 50 years, so I feel like an old novice. It's exciting to get started again, and on April 23rd, I spent the better part of the day preparing the soil and planting the first seeds. I may have been a little too ambitious trying to plant every vegetable I could think of in a 10 x 15 space, but I am curious what will grow in this location. I know the insects and animals will be a challenge, but I hope they leave at least a little for us too.

Who is Clever Kitten
Over the last several weeks, CrowdStrike has been discussing some of the dozens of adversaries that the CrowdStrike Intelligence team tracks every day. We revealed a Chinese-based adversary we crypt as Anchor Panda, a group with very specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and a keen interest in maritime operations and naval and aerospace technology. Last week we discussed Numbered Panda, a group that is also based out of China and is fairly well known to the security community, though by many names. The goal in discussing that group was to illuminate the issues with the varied naming systems for characterizing attackers. This week we want to make sure that we draw attention to the fact that there are adversaries active in computer network exploitation besides those with a nexus to China.

Entrepreneur. CEO. Facebook Marketing Expert.
I love Psychology and the way people make decisions. It just so happens that I can express that doing Facebook marketing, Funnels, Email Automations, and all that fun stuff.
With great power comes great responsability though, so I only work with people and businesses that are having real businesses, solving real problems
I've been the CEO of increasemedia.net for the last 3 years and we are just passionate about brining brands and businesses to the people out there that need your products & services
Funnels are my love.
I am passionate about creating funnels that understand the big picture and that drive results. Have done numerous funnels and completed strategies for brands totaling $10M+ In sales over the years.
With over 6+ Years experience with Facebook Advertising and spending over 8M+ on Facebook among the years, I know what it takes to build sustainable, ever-green, ROI-focused Facebook Campaigns with the overall vision always in mind.
First off, Facebook's algorithm is auction-based, so there's no literal way to tell why something costs less than something else, even though they're completely identical, which is not your case.
In your case, If your CTR is higher on one of the images, that shows facebook that your audience is engaging so they're rewarding you by giving you a smaller cost per click. So that's why.

No more lies!
The month of May is just begun. We approach the end of the scholastic year. Besides May is the primary Marian month, during which the celebration of the Rosary, this simple and humble prayer that closely fits the simple and humble people, helps us to have a special journey among the beauties of God's mysteries. In these past days we have eventually started the Forum of Bangui. We waited months for this very moment. Some 600 delegates from around the country are discussing and talking in order to bring the country out of the abyss in which it resides. The hope is really huge, but doubts and uncertainties are huge as well. It is necessary to have the honesty to go straight to the heart of real problems and to have the courage to make serious changes. With our Sisters on Monday we celebrate Fr. Enrico Redaelli's birthday. Mario, also called "super-Mario the handyman" and his wife Luigina are helping us enriching the dinner with some specialties from Emilia, an Italian Region. We even invited at our meal a nice fish, a "capitain", caught in the river Ouham here in Bozoum. On Tuesday, together with the NGO CRS (Caritas US) I leave towards Bocaranga and Ndim. It is an opportunity to meet people and the missionaries who work further north. We discuss with them about our Health project. They will take over the costs for visits and childbirth for a few thousand women. They will also provide wheelchairs for the handicapped, will ensure food to malnourished and medicine care also for the poorest. All this is made possible by the Government of the Czech Republic. Many thanks for the great help. I share as well with them the draft CRS, to help people to give life to small groups for savings and credit. In these very days we see many international Organizations passing by: UN agencies, Peacekeepers. There's lots of movement, as we hope for some results.

Tupac Amaru Shakur im Interview
Are you where you wanna be right now in your career?
I'm at a point where I'm in charge. I don't have to answer to anybody; I'm in total control. I've got another album droppin' next month under an alias name, under Makaveli. It's called Killuminati. I'm not the king, I'm not the teacher or nothin' like that, but I feel like I don't have no peers. I've been out less than a year, convicted of allegations that usually end niggas' careers. Shot five times in the nuts and the head. I came out, and in less than a fuckin' year outsold Biggie almost three times. I sold more records than his whole fuckin' record label.
What's with this Machiavelli? Why name yourself after a 16th-century politician and philosopher?
That's what got me here, my reading. It's not like I idolize this one guy Machiavelli. I idolize that type of thinking where you do whatever's gonna make you achieve your goal.
So now I'm not on no bullshit or anything, I'm gonna change the rules in this rap game. You know how, like, in politics, the Republicans are in now; well, I represent that style; I'm the new nigga. I'ma shake up the whole Congress. By puttin' out a double album-that nobody ever did-I had the most expensive album on the charts. My album cost more than any album you could buy on the charts, and I outsold every one of them muthafuckas. And I did it in two months!
I'm not dissin' niggas blindly. I'm dissin' niggas that opened up they mouth. I aspire not to be a reactionary muthafucka. I read. That's all I do is read. I read books, I read magazines, I read y'all's shit. I listen to everything a muthafucka says, no matter how slight, no matter how long ago he said it. Like, when I was in jail, niggas had a lot to say. When I came home, niggas had a lot to say. I remembered all of it.
Are you motivated by revenge?
Now, it's for fun. This new Makaveli album I got comin' out, I'm takin' on niggas. It's like, my dopest album ever. It's 12 tracks. I talk about my shooting [in New York]. I say the names of the niggas that shot me, the names of the niggas that set me up.... Everything I couldn't say, I said it in a rap. I also dis Dre, I dis Mobb Deep. All them niggas: Jay-Z, Puffy, Biggie. My album cover is me on the cross being crucified, and the cross is the map. It's got New York, Harlem, Brooklyn, everything. And I'm on the cross bein' crucified for keepin' it real.
So is it true you got Dre pushed off Death Row?
I did. Suge is the boss of Death Row, the don, you understand? But I'm the underboss, the capo. That's my job, to do what's best for all of Death Row. My decision wasn't based on comin' to Death Row and taking shit over. My decision was based on Dre not being there for Snoop during his trial.
But also, other niggas was producing beats, and Dre was gettin' the credit. And I got tired of that. He was owning the company too and he chillin' in his house; I'm out here in the streets, whoopin' niggas' asses, startin' wars and shit, droppin' albums, doin' my shit, and this nigga takin' three years to do one song! I couldn't have that. But it was not my decision. Suge was comin' to me.
Death Row can never be weak, no matter what. If we stop sellin' millions and all that, we will always have our honor. We will always have our respect, and that's all I'm back in this rap game for. I already have famous records; I'm in this shit for the honor and respect. To be a family, to be known as something, to get this dark cloud off us as a race. We need some kind of sunshine, some kind of exceptional being so we can stop suckin' Malcolm X and Michael Jordan's dick.
Do you and Suge both feel the same way about taking over, not turning back, and not being pawns?
Nobody respects a man who don't do for himself. I'm a soldier; so I'm here on Death Row to put my time into this army. It's not like they got me out of jail and now I gotta do for them. It's that they believed in me, so I believe in this company when no one else will. When people said this was played out. I'm breathin' into it. I don't give a fuck if I don't get along with anybody else on the label. This is for Death Row. When it comes to the point when I feel it can stand on its own, I will move on. But me and Suge will always do business together, forever.
Y'all are kindred spirits?
Everything I don't have, he's got, and everything he don't got, I got. Together, I think we can only be stopped by each other. We want, not oppression, but total domination.
I'm not no dumb-ass muthafucka. I don't bang for the color or the land. It's for the principles, for the honor. I'm banging for the Wesside. It's in my heart. When I be throwing up the W, it ain't for California, it's a W for war. When the West Coast and the middle and the East get together, we got power. You won't be seeing me throwing this when we're all together. But we ain't there, we still all separate tribes, and I know what tribe I'm in. I'm a soldier. I'll always be true to those who are true to me. New York shouldn't be trippin', they should be loving this, because they gave me the game to do this. What made me raw is that I got both. I'm the future of black America.
Why do you think people always supported you, even in the ugliest situations?
I don't know. All I can say is I always try to be a real nigga in my heart. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad; but it's still us. It's never to hurt nobody. I'm not gonna take advantage of you or bully you. I'm on some underdog shit. And I truly believe I've been blessed by God, and God walks with me. Me and my niggas are on some Black Jesus shit. Not a new religion or anything, but the saint for thugs and gangstas-not killers and rapists, but thugs. When I say thugs, I mean niggas who don't have anything.
I lived and almost died for Thug Life. And after that VIBE article, people said "Tupac, I thought Thug Life was dead." Yeah, but read the rest of the article. Puffy, in that letter in VIBE, gave me some advice that brought me back to the Thug Life shit. He said you can't be a thug for a second or a minute and get in and out of it, you gotta be in it forever. He didn't mean it as advice at the time, he said it to dampen things. So now, when I'm whoopin' his muthafuckin ass, and it hurts, and all these people talkin' about "Stop, now," remember what he told me. These words came out of his mouth.
Biggie's playing it like you got it confused, that he didn't have nothin' to do with your getting shot...
I have no mercy in war. I said in the beginning I was gonna take these niggas out the game, and sure enough I will. Already people can't look at Biggie and not laugh. I took every piece of his power. Anybody who tries to help them, I will destroy. Anyone who wanna side with them or do a record with them, whatever, try to unify with them, I'ma destroy. I swear to God. Can't nobody touch me right now. Maybe next month all of this will be over, but this month I'm takin' every moving target out. Black people put all their political energies, everything they have, into getting loot. Like, right now, it's the presidential campaign.... And we ain't doin' shit.
We're voting on Tupac and Biggie, 'cause that's where we live. Who's gonna get dead presidents, not who's going to be president.
But see, rap is like a politician's race. If I lost New York, I won the other 49 states, and that makes me in control. Now I'm the new president for the next four years. Crucial Conflict could go five times platinum, but nobody's gon' let them sign no bills. They can't make no hip hop laws.
So what is the source of this power?
I tried to see if it was, like, a white thing. Everywhere I go with money, they let me in. Everywhere I go with none, they don't let you in. Trust me. That's all it is. It's all about money. When you got money, you got power. I guarantee if people keep supportin' me-just buyin' my record, just goin' to my concerts-I'ma keep givin' money. Every time I go platinum I'm puttin' money up for community centers. Every time I go platinum, somebody's gettin' a big check. I feel like an elected official.
You know what I thought when I was in jail, I was, like, No politician is even gettin' at us. I represent five million fuckin' sales. And no politician is even checkin' for us. But by the next election I promise I'll be sitting across from all the candidates. I promise you! I'ma be so far from where I am now in four years-God willin' I'm alive-it's on! I guarantee we will have our own political party. It won't just be for blacks. It's gon' be for Mexicans, for Armenians, all you lost-tribe muthafuckas. We need to have our own political party 'cause we all have the same muthafuckin' problems. We built this nation and we get none of the benefits.
What distinguishes you from everybody else?
I never thought I was the best rapper-the best nothin'. I think I'm the realest nigga out there. I do think that. I think I own that. 'Cause I think being real is just being true. I'm the nigga that will wear a suit when everybody's got on khakis. I'll be baldheaded when everybody's wearing braids. I'll wear braids when they all baldheaded. It's just being real. I don't have insecurities-well, I do, but I just put them in front of everybody, like my mom and my life and me being little.
We got to kill this niggeritis. Niggas hate me just 'cause of what you doin', niggas plotting on you 'cause of women, and niggas hatin' to see you shine. We got to kill that. Before we can kill it in our black nation, we got to kill it in the Hip Hop Nation, and that's what I'm doin'. It's the only reason I'm back: to bring the heat. And I feel like God is tellin' me to do it. I feel like Black Jesus is controlling me. He's our saint that we pray to; that we look up to. Drug dealers, they sinning, right? But they'll be millionaires. How I got shot five times-only a saint, only Black Jesus, only a nigga that know where I'm coming from, could be, like, "You know what? He's gonna end up doing some good." I gotta do that.
People might be, like, "This nigga's conceited," but fuck it. I feel like I shine. And I don't give a fuck how much white people, the media, niggas, black people, playa haters, police, whoever, try to darken my shine, I'ma always shine through. They could lie about my words, but they always gonna ring true 'cause it's my essence; it's in my essence, and that's what's always gonna come through.

Our tree nursery now focuses on growing the Platbos tree species for our Reforestation Project and the annual Reforest Fests that we hold together with GreenPop.
Melissa and Francois Krige initiated the Platbos Reforestation Project a pioneer of its type in the Western Cape in 2008. Since then, large areas of aliens have been cleared and processed into wood chip. Each year in Spring, the Platbos staff harvest the newly germinated forest seedlings from the forest floor and rear them in the forest nursery. After 2 years, they are ready to be replanted to expand the forest. This tree planting happens during the annual Greenpop Reforest Fests held over two weekends in March which see hundreds of green-hearted souls getting their hands into the earth and planting thousands of Platbos trees back into the lands where they once grew.
The projects slogan Plant a Tree Grow a Forest captures the essence of this project for when one sponsors a tree at Platbos one is really sponsoring a square metre of forest canopy and the myriad of life forms that this supports - from mosses, lichens, birds and bees, to bushbuck and honey badgers. Tree sponsorships also contribute towards the costs of clearing the alien vegetation that has invaded the forest edge and the creation of fire breaks which are so vital for protecting the old-growth forest. To date, nearly 50 000 trees have been planted in these rehabilitated lands. The Reforest Fests are a time of great celebration for the forest and the myriad of creatures who rely upon it for their survival.
If you would like to purchase any Platbos trees from the nursery to plant at home, you are most welcome to make an appointment: email@example.com

The parents of Christian a young YouTube star got an emotional surprise when they discovered a video their son had uploaded to Youtube before his death.
Ben Breedlove, who battled a life-long heart condition, cheated death a few times, and one time he even says God gave him a glimpse Heaven. That vision gave Ben such a peace and joy about going home to see the Lord. On Christmas Day, when he was just 18-years-old, Ben went home to be with Jesus. But his positive attitude and love for Christ still lives on.
The very last video he posted online has since gone viral and his parents are hoping this important message will speak to others. What an amazing young man!
Here's what the family has to say:

A 14-year-old girl was abducted, bound and subject to a brutal beating after being lured by some other teens on the pretense of going to a party on Thursday, September 27th, 2016 in Trinidad. The teens involved in the beating range from the ages of 13 to 16. The girls had tied and gagged the victim who also vomited at one point and she was put into a shallow pit that they had dug in preparation for the beating. The girl, who survived the ordeal, was beaten about the head with a stick and a knife and at one point hit in the head with a hammer. The victim suffered a cut tendon in one of her arms as well.
The torture session went on for at least three hours before the victim was able to escape by jumping into a house near the location she was taken. She managed to make her get away after one of the teens went to relieve herself. The neighbor then called the Military Police who, when they arrived on scene, found only one of the teens still at the location and she was arrested. Warrants were issued for the other two girls and they were apprehended the following day. All three confessed (how could they deny it having been stupid enough to film it?) and are facing serious adult charges due to the heinous nature of the crime.
Now, what was the cause…. the justification for doing this to a young woman? Why, jealousy of course. It turns out the victim was involved with an ex boyfriend of one of the torturers and that was the main motivation for the abuse. The victim was treated and released and though her physical wounds will heal soon, her mental anguish will linger for quite some time.
Mad props to @mrspink for the torture session.

I am in a lull between celebrations: I do Solstice, Hannukah, Christmas, and Cheesemas. Cheesemas is our annual all-you-can-eat cheese festival, usually attended by 30+ cheese-loving revelers (and always one cheese-hater, my dear friend A, who is so loved anyhow; plus, she always recommends the best wine). It won't be a big do this year -- 2008, good in some ways, has been one of our most challenging years ever, mostly because with it being the kiddo's first year of day care (and remember her first years we spent vigilantly sheltered from germs due to micropreemie concerns) we are battling almost constant illness. I am still not quite right after that stomach flu earlier this month. But I am lucky to enjoy everything that matters this year: family, friends, a warm home, lots to laugh about, darn good food, and fun crafts to keep my hands busy and my mind calm.
These (above) are some ever-so-tiny tiny quilted tree ornaments that I made for co-workers and my daughter's pre-school teachers. They were quick and easy, and photograph pretty well against our woolly rug!
Now I have to get ready to get the family to the airport to welcome one of our very very very best friends. I've waited for her visit all year and then some. I'm feeling like a very lucky lady.

An Environmental Site Assessment – ESA – identifies potential liability-related environmental contamination for real estate holding companies, sometimes as a prelude to additional sampling to assess the need for improvement, remediation and/or restoration of the property.
Sampling of soil, air, groundwater and/or building material is typically not part of this assessment, as a Phase 1 assessment starts a due diligence process. If a structure is thought to be contaminated, a further assessment may be conducted.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is the condition of a home's or building's indoor air as it relates to health. ESC uses a variety of methods to assess the condition of indoor air and report it accurately to the customer along with practical advice if requested on what to do if problems are found.
Visual and other inspection of impacted areas is performed to determine the scope of the moisture/mold problem.
ESC determines moisture levels of materials, and indoor/outdoor air using reliable scientific measurement to locate the source and extent of moisture, and if requested, a strategy to correct a problem.
Surfaces are visually inspected and physically contacted to determine if they contain debris and e.g., to determine if discolored materials contain mold growth. Appropriate industrial hygiene methods are used during the investigation.
Note: there are no regulatory standards for acceptable levels of fungal microorganisms in residential indoor environments.
ESC can inspect your home or building to see if there are sources of lead exposure such as peeling paint and lead dust, and advise you on what to do to address the hazard.
ESC will check surfaces and the air for contamination using proven methods established by reputable organizations such as the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).

Greg Thomas just so happened to be on the FHSAA website last Wednesday morning when he scrolled across the recently-released 2017 Sunshine Cup standings.
When the Choctaw athletic director and head football coach clicked on the page, it didn't take him long to find where his program ranks among the state's best.
Fort Myers ... No. 1.
Doral (Miami) … No. 2.
No. 3: Choctaw (Fort Walton Beach).
"You know, it kind of shocked me. I didn't realize we were up that high," Thomas said. "But in saying that, I thought we had a great year overall as an athletic department."
In all, four large schools in the Daily News coverage area — the Indians, Niceville, Fort Walton Beach and Navarre — were among the upper echelon programs in their respective classifications.
"It's understood that all our sports strive to win championships," Thomas said. "Also, we want to give our kids the best opportunities to succeed and be competitive.
"It's an honor and great complement to our entire coaching staffs. All our programs chipped in and did well. The coaches have a lot to be proud of."
The Indians (75.5 points) — whose girls' teams racked up 46 points (third among girls' teams in the state) and boys' teams racked up 29.5 points (fifth among boys' teams in the state) — were led by a third straight boys weightlifting title featuring two individual state champs, a 1A large division co-ed state championship cheerleading team, a state semifinalist flag football team and an elite-eight qualifying boys basketball team.
"Every year we want to have the same standard," Thomas said. "We're going to approach next year the same way we did this year. I know all the coaches are going to strive to do well. You just hope you continue to do that."
• Niceville: fifth in 8A (115 points). Boys: 11th, 33 points. Girls: T-second, 82 points.
From top to bottom, Niceville's depth was unmatched in the area, so it's no wonder why the Eagles racked up the most points of any area large school.
"We are very proud of the year we had in athletics," Niceville athletic director and head football coach John Hicks said. "It takes a lot of hard work from all involved. In speaking with our coaches, they believe next year could be our best year ever as a sports program. We look forward to the challenge."
The girls cross country program ran away with a state title, a feat matched by relay teams in track and field and swimming and Jack Johnson in wrestling.
"I'm certain this is the best team Niceville (cross country) has ever had, as a whole," Eagles' cross country and track coach Jamie LaFollette said back in September.
As for the Eagles' swim team, head coach Kathy Ritacco said in September that her girls' roster was "pretty much perfect." For the boys, the coach said she would rank the Eagles as the best team from Panama City to Pensacola.
"It takes every single person you bring to those meets to come together,"Ritacco said. "These kids have this heart for their school and their team and they push together. We know how ruthless these competitions are, and they have so much excitement trying to get as many points as they can."
Danny Hensley's softball crew advanced to the state finals for the first time in five years, while Chris Poate's boys tennis team captured its first ever state-runner up medal.
Meanwhile the Eagles program had state playoff teams in football, baseball, girls and boys basketball, girls and boys soccer, girls tennis and volleyball.
• Fort Walton Beach: ninth in 7A (54.8 points). Boys: 27th, 15.8 points. Girls: T-seventh, 39 points.
The Vikings were led by their state finalist girls basketball team as well as playoff teams in boys and girls soccer.
"It's exciting for us and definitely shows the hard work of all the student-athletes and coaches we have," said Phil Dorn, Fort Walton Beach's athletic director and head football coach. "We're implementing things as a program and are really heading in the right direction.
In his first year, Dorn has set the bar high, aiming to get the athletic department to reach the standard of academics at the school
"Everyone, from our coaches to our student-athletes, accepted the challenge of making our athletic department special," Dorn said. "Our motto is '23 sports, one team" and our coaches have worked well in support of each other.
As for catching up to crosstown rival Choctaw, that's partially the goal.
"I think any time we get in competition with Choctaw, we're always trying to outdo them," the coach said. "But our thinking here is not so much about overtaking them. We want to establish ourselves and be the very best we can be ourselves so everyone else can chase us. That's the loftiness of our thinking. We want to be the standard."
• Navarre: 13th in 8A (62 points). Boys: 12th, 32 points. Girls: T-19th, 30 points.
Navarre was led by a state semifinalist football team and a regional semifinalist girls soccer team and a playoff boys basketball team.
• Crestview: 57th in 7A (12 points). Boys: 45th, 9 points. Girls: 57th, 3 points.
Crestview was led by its boys basketball sweet 16 qualifier.
Points were awarded based on how individual sports finished. Twenty points were given for a state champion, 12 for a state runner-up, nine for a state semifinalist, six for 5-8th place finishes and three for 9-16th places. In sports where 16 or less schools qualify for state, points were awarded to the 1st through 8th place finishers.
Schools got a two-point bonus for winning a district or regional championship. Points were deducted for student-athlete ejections or other unsportsmanlike issues.

He will introduce legislation to cut gas tax to the national average
Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, has announced his major push for the 2015 legislative session. As gas prices fall below $2 nationwide, New York's gas prices are still in the mid-to-high $2-plus range. Ceretto said this discrepancy is wrong, and he is moving to correct it by pushing to lower New York's gas tax down to the national average.
The measure would cut the state gas tax by almost 40 percent from 34 cents per gallon to 20 cents per gallon. This translates to consumers paying 14 cents less per gallon at the pump every time they fill up. Ceretto said this would help put more money in the pockets of Western New Yorkers and stimulate economic growth.
"Gas prices have been dropping for the last several months, and this has been great news for Western New York families. However, our state still has one of the highest gas taxes in the country," Ceretto said. "In fact, New York is one of only five states left in the country where gas is still over $2 per gallon. This is a hidden tax on all hard-working Western New Yorkers that we need to rein in. By reducing this tax to match the national average, we can lower home heating and commuting costs for families, operating expenses and transportation costs for businesses, and improve the Western New York economy."
Ceretto's camp said the economic benefits of this cut to New York's families are significant, as transportation costs are a major part of a family's budget. When coupled with the savings on home heating costs that would occur during winter months, this progressive tax cut would have a positive impact on low- and middle-income families.
Much of the revenue generated by the gas tax goes to pay for the maintenance and improvement of highways and roads. Since Ceretto believes these infrastructure projects are critical to the future of Western New York, he proposes using both the bank settlement money and the state surplus to fully fund the mass transportation trust fund, the highway and bridge trust fund and the mass transportation operating assistance fund.
"In my first four years, we have lowered the middle-class tax rate to the lowest in 60 years, passed an important property tax freeze program, and turned a $10 billion deficit into a $5 billion surplus," Ceretto said. "We have made lowering taxes on middle-income families a top priority, and I have full confidence that we will be able to make progress with gas taxes as well."

Jim Wharton called last night to talk about the "shoe incident." (I mentioned it to you in the posting on February 10 -- "A gift from Jim Wharton!") I thought it was over. I was wrong.
Jim: Hey, girl. Jim here. Just checking on you. Running going better?
Bev: Hi, Jim! Better. That DVD about Fred turned everything around. Again, thank you so much for the surprise. It arrived when I needed it most. You just sensed that my running was in trouble, didn't you?
Jim: Uh, Bev, you FedEx'ed a hacked up running shoe and a half a Snickers bar to the clinic in New York.
Bev: Funny, right?
Jim: Yeah, it was pretty funny, but I've been bothered by the single shoe. Why only one shoe?
Bev: It wasn't necessary to hack them both up. The other one got the point.
Jim: Bev? Did you make the other shoe … watch?
Bev: Now, that's just plain crazy.
Jim: Yeah. Yeah, it is. Well, did you???
The conversation went on for a few minutes until I couldn't stop laughing and Jim had assured himself that his runner was (mostly) sane. Good thing Jim Wharton is an expert in the behavior of athletes, is quick to recognize the subtle signs of stress in training, and knows how to handle them. A lesser man would be filing a restraining order.
[The photos are of Jim Wharton and The Psycho Shoe at the Wharton Performance Center in New York. I love the look on his face! And for the record, the other shoe is fine.]

It is shocking and also nauseating. What am I talking about? America, I wish to discuss with you today what is so patently obvious: And that is, the odious plans that Barack Hussein-Obama has in store for our children. Recently, this wolf in sheep's clothing was caught "Red (Get It?) Handed" when his Education Department sent out a lesson plan for Kindergarteners, through sixth grade. The malleable brains of our young children were to be "Indoctrinated" with a speech from this Marxist. The devious plan was to have children listen to Hussein-Obama's propaganda. After that, they were to be handed assignments designed to "Assist Them" in learning how to "Serve" this creepy man!
When Americans got wind of the White House plans, "All Hell Broke Lose." The administration quickly jettison plans for the students to bow to the "Dear Leader." Hussein-Obama, by all accounts, went on to give students a "Conservative Pep Talk."
I thought this was the job of parents. But, I wax!
Socialists and Communists in this country, and this included the media, attempted to paint God-fearing Americans as being paranoid, just because they didn't want this man playing with the minds of their children. Most of us know that our public schools, colleges and universities, are infested with, "Liberals, Marxists, And Communists."
We know that the aforementioned groups end goal is the total control of the young people in this country. Those of us with knowledge of child-hood and development, understand that the value system of a child is firmly set by the age of six. Just picture cement when it is first poured. Once the cement is given time to dry, it is set. Once a child has been inculcated with information from his/her environment, the child will hold on to this data for the rest of his life. Noted Swiss Psychoanalyst, Carl Jung once opined, "Give Me The Child: And I Will Give Back To You, The Man."
Jung stated that he could develop a person in to a doctor, lawyer, etcetera, providing that person's brain was devoid of any anomalies!
Given the thesis of Carl Jung, I am not surprised that Barack Hussein-Obama and his band of night crawlers are going after the very young. Remember, Hussein-Obama is being advised by Psychologists and Psychiatrists. It is instructive to observe that Barack Hussein-Obama is the same man who called on the socialists press to not bother with the children of candidates during last year's Presidential campaign. Nonetheless, it is now okay for this Marxist and dictator lover to tinker with the brains of American children?
The Battle Hymn of The Republic was composed in 1862 by Julia Ward-Howe. Mrs. Howe wrote the poem soon after she visited a Union Army Camp. The first verse to this venerable song goes like this:
" Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stores; He hath loosed the fateful lighting of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on"
Dateline, B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, N.J.: Young students at this school are caught on videotape singing praises to Barack Hussein-Obama. These kids probably didn't know it, but they had been taught to praise this Marxist by inserting words to the "Sound of The Battle Hymn of The Republic:"
Barack Hussein-Obama. He said that all must lend a hand; to make this country strong again. Mmm, Mm, Mm.
Barack Hussein-Obama. He said we must be clear today; equal work, means equal pay. Mmm, Mm, Mm!
Barack Hussein-Obama. He said that we must take a stand. to make sure everyone gets a chance. Mmm, Mm, Mm!
Barack Hussein-Obama. He said Red, Yellow, Black or White, all are equal in his sight. Mmm, Mm, Mm!
I couldn't stand writing another stanza!
So, Americans were paranoid when they stood up a few weeks ago, and said "No Way To This Marxist" speaking to our kids, and given concomitant homework assignment? No Mr. and Mrs. America, you weren't paranoid. So, "Do Not" give these Marxists and Communists the power to tell you who you are!
Force them to look at their own scary views, and what those views portent for America!
It is clear to me that this self-absorbed man wants to take the advice of Moammar Gaddafi, and become "President For Life."
By the way, if you want to watch this sickening video, with the children singing praises to this anti-American, you can click on YouTube/School Kids Praise Obama. WARNING: This tape will not only make you angry, it will make you sick to your stomach!
Why were the kids praising Barack Hussein-Obama. Well, if you listen to the crazy explanation given by the School Superintendent, Christopher Manno, "The Children Were Only Paying Tribute To Black History Month."
What a boatload of crap!
First of all, I am totally opposed to "Black History Month." The history of African-Americans is far to deep to try and condense it in to "One Month." The other thing that offends me is why would someone attempt to convince intelligent Americans into believing that what the kids were doing was benign?
They were praising a man whose career is all of "Fifteen Minutes." Contrary to what Superintendent Manno is telling you, this district "Was Attempting To Indoctrinate The Young Minds Of Its Students." Parents across America should outraged. Because how many other schools are doing this, but their "Brain-Washing" is flying under the radar screen?
Reflecting back on The Battle Hymn of The Republic. As a young child, I can remember singing this song in grade school. My how things have changed since America has caved in virtually to all areas of our culture. Instead of "Evolving, we are now "Devolving" in to a Nation of people who eschews learning, and in to a people who are Nihilistic and Hedonistic. We have allowed the enemies of this country, both foreign and domestic, to literally tear our culture apart. We now have Muslims by the thousands "Praying On Capitol Hill" in Washington, D.C. If Christians attempted this, they would be charged by the left with trying to proselytize the Nation. We have a President who just this year, "Cancelled The National Day Of Prayer For Christians," but at the same time, invites Muslims to the White House, and praise them for being a part of Islam, "A Religion of Peace."
Remember, Barack Hussein-Obama attended the reverend Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years. According to the tenets of Wright's church, "Muslims" could join his church, all without "Converting To Christianity."
This is a dirty little secret that the socialists press has conveniently forgot to tell you.
So, is Barack Hussein-Obama a Muslim, hiding in the closet? You will have to make that call!
By the way, we have a President who is a Marxist; and one who has appointed at least one known "Communist" to his administration. We have a President who believes that it is okay for people of the same sex to trade "Wedding Vows." This man also in a macabre kind of way, enjoys ripping this country, while our enemies clap with glee!
He wants to prosecute members of the CIA, while at the same time "Coddle Terrorists," whose only goal is the destruction of America!
America, what has happened your moral compass? Where is your pride that you used to have whenever the Star Spangle Banner was played? Why have you allowed the enemies of our culture to make you slink off and hide in a corner, too embarrassed to say, "God Bless America?"
It is happening right before your eyes America. You are witnessing the raping, the pillaging, and the destruction of what used to be a great Nation.
Like a pedophile in waiting, this obnoxious President is going after our children. We all know that this man couldn't care less what we think or how we feel. Whatever he wants, he will step over, and "On Anyone" to achieve his goals.
I have but one question for you America: When will you say enough is enough?

For my reflection project I decided to do something more interpretive than just some reflective objects in a setting. Originally, one of my ideas involved the reflection of a coke bottle in water at a beach. The background involved beach goers as well as things you would normally see like shovels or sand castles. My other idea consisted of of a mirror and I little bit of imagination. The mirror would be against my face in different areas of my head, reflecting my inner imagination. I felt like this one meant more to me as it more represented how my specialty seems to be for creating various fantasy creatures and monsters. It was how I began to draw when I was very little and is how I still draw today, albeit improved overtime. I decided on the lower part of the face as I wanted something to do with altering the mouth and jaw a bit. The outside of the mirror was completely normal aside from a few colors changes. The PC was normally black with a mostly black screen saver as it was looking out of a cave on a beach. I decided to add some color to both the screen saver and PC edges while still keeping the small amount of beach scenery within it. The headphones and pad were done in colors they normally look like with few alterations. The most challenging part of the piece itself was making sure that no two colors were together, as it would improperly define shapes. What I did like about the piece though was how the mirrored "inner self" turned out. I was going to add more but decided against to prevent crowding it up. The tubes in the reflection were essentially pumping me full of ideas both fantastical and morbid. Overall, for the first piece in AP art, I am glad how it turned out and how I was able to do something more close to what I like to do.

In this blog, I share my thoughts and experience in various topics, from women, spirituality, healthy lifestyle until education. Enjoy your stay. Thank you for your visit.

Pursuing education, everyone?
Around a decade ago, there was a quite interesting topic to discuss in the English book I used to teach in my workplace: a middle-aged woman pursuing her education in college. Her background was: she was married and a full housewife.
One memorable remark from a student came from a male student, a single one, and he was around thirty years old at that time. He was an employee. He said, "What is the point of this woman to pursue her study if after that she just would stay home and continue being a housewife? I am of opinion that she just wastes her time, energy, as well as her husband's money. The case would be different—and more understandable—if she were an employee."
The main topic was about education, especially about different kinds of learners: someone is either a visual learner, an audio learner, or a kinesthetic learner; or the combination of those three kinds of learners. Since I was not a feminist yet, LOL, I never led the discussion to gender problem.
Apparently that male student of mine didn't comprehend Abraham Maslow's idea about pursuing self-actualization need. If he already knew about that, perhaps he never thought that to fulfill this high-order need for women could be in a form of pursuing education to college—a somewhat masculine thing. Maybe he thought that women only wanted to do the so-called feminine things, such as cooking, sewing, and gardening.
You can guess that he would not let his wife pursue high education if she happened to be 'only' a housewife.
In the college where I teach, I oftentimes find female students who are more than thirty years old. All of them are employees. People can easily draw a conclusion that they all pursue their education with one sole goal: to enhance their position in their workplace. Higher position mostly means higher salary.
I know some of them are quite good. Some others really have to work hard to follow the material. A few really enjoy the study. Most others find it difficult. Even some of them think it unimportant to attend the classes. They appear only once or twice in one semester. This of course makes me unhappy; moreover if they are not good.
A few weeks ago, one female student of mine pleaded, "Ms. Nana, you know my English is very limited. And I am not young anymore. That's why it is very difficult for me to grasp the knowledge you share. But you know I am never absent in your classes. If I cannot do the test well, will you give me some adding point from my diligence?"
I really did not have a heart to say, "That is none of my business." LOL. Even, this academic year, for the first time I let the students open the book during mid-test, because of this 'special student'. Her classmates are supposed to thank her.
Still, I am unhappy. And I am still expecting one day I will have students—both male and female—who pursue their study in their 'not young' age because of their craving in knowledge, just like Knute Axelbrod, one imaginary character in Sinclair Lewis' short story.

It depends on the middle-aged women.
Apa yang sebenarnya dia kejar. Kalo hanya untuk gelar saya setuju dengan pria 30 tahun tadi (saya yakin ada yang begini...)
Kalo yang dia kejar adalah pengetahuan, saya tentu saja setuju dengan ibu rumah tangga itu (saya juga yakin ada yan begini...)

Dear Idub a.k.a Budi :)
Thank you for the comment.
Memang it depends on those women. But, ga papa juga dong kalo sebagai dosen, aku berharap para mahasiswa itu belajar karena kecintaan mereka pada ilmu pengetahuan? :)

- Turn the Genie off before upload**.
- Insert the USB key into the USB port on the side of the Genie. Simultaneously hold down the OK and Back buttons. The screen will flash black and white which indicates the unit is reading the .bin file ***.

Hi I'm Braden Derek
About Me
My name is Braden. I'm an avid skier, rock-climber, and mountain biker. I'm going to college right now studying Business Management and I have the most wonderful woman in my life. I also really enjoy playing soccer, tennis, and ping pong. I grew up on a small farm and lived in the Netherlands for two years and grew to love the people and the culture there. I am a Mormon.
Why I am a Mormon
I was born a member of the LDS (or Mormon) church. My father converted to this faith when he was younger and that has always stood as an example to me. In my teen years, I wanted to know for myself if it is God's true church and if the Book of Mormon is true. I then decided to ask God in prayer. After a week and a half of prayer, the Lord revealed to me that the Book of Mormon is true by the power of the Holy Ghost. It was an answer that I haven't forgotten and one that I will never be able to deny.
How I live my faith
For me, living my faith is found in the simple things. Reading the scriptures daily, saying my prayers daily, going to church weekly, and doing what Jesus Christ would do by helping anybody I can. In my local congregation, I have the chance to serve fellow church members by visiting them and bringing them the good word of God.

James Lileks (website) writes about yesterday's procession carrying the casket of Ronald Reagan to the Capitol Building in Washington. I love the way this man writes although I don't always agree with his opinion. This quote shows his style and captures the moment perfectly, like a photograph.
"If there's anything I will remember from this day it's the procession to the rotunda. It was solemn, not sad. Confident and dignified. A rare American moment that makes theater and movies look noisy and empty – no matter what the wizards of Hollywood can contrive, it stands abashed in the face of forty score men in dress uniform impassively bearing a flag-shrouded box to the dome of the Republic.
I watched the Marine who accompanied Mrs. Reagan. Not a muscle on his face moved. His name was perfect: Jackson. She had composure and strength as well, and I say that as someone who never felt much warmth towards the woman. There was something insular about the Reagans' marriage that kept us all at arm's length. I think that people understood that Reagan madly loved his wife, but they didn't quite know why. She was brittle and steely; whatever personal warmth she had didn't come across on camera. She wasn't a Hollywood knockout. But he was nuts about her, and he had his reasons. She repaid him with the long twilight vigil. She endured sadness you can only hope you never know, and in the end she wasn't hanging on the arm of a Marine like wet crepe. She looked as if she could have helped Jackson to his feet if he'd wilted in the heat."

Robin Williams' doco 'Come inside my mind' shows the man behind the camera
HBO's upcoming documentary Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind takes a look at the life of the late entertainer up until his tragic passing.
The film explores the various roles Williams made famous over the years, as well as a look at the actor's struggle with substance abuse.
'The genius of Robin Williams lay in his ability to make a room, a comedy club, a concert hall or the whole world laugh,' said a statement by HBO.
'Family, friends and film crews often saw a man who wasn't happy unless everyone else was having a good time — but the dualities Williams embodied were present inside him at all times.'
The documentary also features in-depth interviews with a range of Williams' famous friends, including Billy Crystal, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Pam Dawber and his son, Zak Williams.
"The world is a darker and lonelier place for a lot of us, for a lot of reasons,' said Crystal.
Adding: 'Rejoice in the fact that you had [Williams] for as long as you did. Rejoice in the fact that you witnessed some really amazing comedy, some brilliant receptions, and he broke your heart in the same way as an actor.'
Williams passed away in 2014 after it was revealed he'd been suffering Lewy Body Dementia.
Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind debuts July 16 on HBO.

Although the routes are generally longer, there is still time to visit the places of interest you pass, and, as on any Inntravel bicycle holiday, you usually spend two nights at each hotel, giving you the chance to enjoy some more sightseeing – or more cycling if you so wish.Why choose Inntravel for your cycle holiday? Each bicycle holiday is carefully researched, and you ride at your own pace guided by our route notes, which include information on places of interest and worthwhile detours. What's more, we transport your bags from one hotel to the next on every single cycle holiday, so all you need carry in your panniers are the essentials for the day such as sun cream, drinks and a camera. To be sure that you choose the bicycle holiday that is right for you, find out how our self-guided cycling holidays are graded, or contact our knowledgeable reservations team, who will be happy to offer advice.

Last month, the Burj Khalifa opened to much fanfare in Dubai as it became the tallest skyscraper in the world.
Just weeks before that, Dubai World, an Emirates based investment fund, nearly collapsed due to a massive amount of debt on its books and had to be bailed out.
This is not surprising.
In 2005, economist Mark Thorton looked into the theory that the completion date of skyscrapers foretell the coming of recessions. It's a concept that makes total sense because these projects take massive financing and have long completion cycles, thus coinciding nicely with boom/bust cycles.
Anyway, Thorton found that it's totally true.
We take a look at some of the major skyscraper projects of the last 100 years and point to the recessions they heralded and some of the buildings that might point to the next.
Check out the amazing history of skyscapers and recessions>

I want to start this off by saying: Thank you all for your support over the years. It's been an absolutely amazing experience for all of us here at GearDev to watch our fan base grow as it did, and it warms our hearts to see people still commenting on our ModDB all these years later.
City 17 has always been about giving what we can to the community; and while I'm sorry to say that we were not able to deliver our game on time, I can now happily say that we won't go quietly either.
As of today City 17 is now completely open source and the entire mod folder is now available for download on ModDB.
I am afraid that the years have not been kind to the mod and Steampipe has effectively broken this build. That being said, the content of the mod and it's source code is free for anyone to use or modify in their personal or SourceMod projects. Who knows; someone may even build the source and get it running once more.
You may download the source code here at this link. This link also goes over in great detail how City 17 was born, what we intended for it, and why we could no longer dedicate time to finishing this mod. There's also a great look at some never before seen content -- check it out.
Once again thank you all for the years of support. It's been a wild ride.
boop bop beep boop. Robots. And spooky programming. (We couldn't figure out what to fill up the 50 character min limit with, but we guess we just did...)
It's been a pretty busy year. So yeah. 50 characters limit A+ moddb.

R.I.P. Thank you for all of your hard work on this mod
Does anybody have information about if somebody or a team is working on it to make it work?
everytime i click new game and it loads it just crashes when it finishes loading.
What if city 17 episode 1 was not kill? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
from what i hear, this mod is still going, they haven't updated the moddb page yet.
he has been posting on the source engine discord
Oh, he's been posting in others as well? Damn, I didn't know that, I knew he was posting in one of the servers I'm in. Good to know he's posting more in other servers ;P
This is either bugged, or I don't know. I went into the options menu, tried changing the resolution to my native resolution and after I pressed "OK", the game "crashed".... And when I say "crashed", i mean it minimized, and then I couldn't get it out, because whenever it got out, it would just be a mini black rectangle in top left and do nothing but "minimize" again after I click anything.
andrewpuzoff you must install source sdk base 2007 & extract mod from archive to steamapps\sourcemods
I tried this but it didn't work. I had or crash before being in the main menu or before a level could be loaded :/ Did you do something with Source 2007? Maybe a gameinfo modification?
wait port city 17 to source sdk 2013

One forum member wants to come back to houseboating and asked a lot of great first-timer questions, including the benefits of gas versus diesel:
Tillerman7: I seem to think that a diesel would be more efficient, but they seem even harder to find.
desimulacra: The only reason I would go with a diesel is if I was planning on doing a lot of traveling. Then a houseboat, like most on this site, is not really ideal. As a side note we were sitting out at Rock Port Bluffs the other day and a houseboat went by with gas engines that was very quiet, then one mile behind it came an aluminum houseboat with diesels that was extremely noisy. I mean, the engines were loud. More so in front than the rear. I was wondering if the hull was projecting the sound. Anyone? Good luck and keep us posted.
GoVols: There's always a benefit for diesel when fuel consumption comes into play, but you'll need to put a LOT of hours on them in order to recoup your money from initial investment, as diesels are significantly more expensive than gasers. An interesting spin I saw recently was gas propulsion engines, but a diesel generator.
easttnboater: Gas propulsion and diesel generator—maybe not as great as you think. Typically diesel generators are paired with diesel propulsion. Because of this, in general, diesel generators are not spark-protected. So, I would want to make sure that the diesel generator was fully spark protected/enclosed.
OLD HOUSEBOATER: With fuel costs being what they are, lake boats with small engines are the norm. Good used boats are still the best all-around deal. If you plan on extensive traveling, diesel is the way to go. All that being said, diesel houseboats (other than Pluckebaum) are few and far between.
This post went in a lot of interesting directions as more questions were asked and answered, so don't forget to check it out at www.houseboatmagazine.com/forum!
