Wow, a couple True Blood boys have movies coming out! They are all grown up! Lol… None other than Mr. Eric Northman AKA Alexander Skarsgard has the remake Straw Dogs with Kate Bosworth and James Marsden.
The poster is almost identical to the original with Dustin Hoffman and I love that nod to the past. The new one has the added benefit of having Alexander Skarsgard in the reflection of the glasses. And having Alexander Skarsgard on anything is always a good thing.
Then Jason Stackhouse AKA Ryan Kwanten has the indie feature Griff The Invisible. I love this poster it’s adorable! They made Ryan Kwanten look like a dork, and let me tell you, that’s no small feat!
All you True Blood fans keep an eye out for both films coming out this summer!
Starting this website has been a labor of love. I love sharing my fandom experiences but more than that I love hearing everyone else’s stories. I love hearing about conventions, movie locations, meet celebrities good and bad, I love it all.
I sincerely hope you enjoy my exploits, the adventures of everyone who submits an article, and all the members of the Fanboy Family!
Without everyone who writes and reads MTF there wouldn’t be a site. This is truly for the fans, by the fans!

Hooked on a harbor town
November 8, 2007
Every day the fishermen in Essaouira, Morocco, bring in their catch — sardines, sea bass, squid and eels.
Piles of fish are cleaned next to the docks by men who toss aside the guts while hundreds of sea gulls hover in midair and make cawing sounds. You can imagine the birds licking their chops and thinking, “Mmm, fish guts.”
Much of the cleaned fish is then sold to men at nearby kiosks, who lay it on ice in neat rows and wave in the lunch crowd. Tourists study the selection, choose their lunch and sit at picnic tables covered in plastic waiting to be served.
There’s nothing quite like inhaling the smoke of fresh fish cooking on the grill while watching small rowboats and big trawlers come and go on in a busy little harbor.
Essaouira is a small fish in the world of Moroccan tourism. Its name, pronounced ESS-oo-EAR- ah, is not as catchy as “Casablanca,” nor is the old seaport town as mystical as Marrakech.
But Essaouira has a wide, windswept beach famous for windsurfing, and its medina — ancient alleyways with hundreds of shops — has merchants far less pushy than those in Marrakech.
Maybe it’s the sea and beach that make them more laid-back.
On this day, about 15 kiosks were serving lunch. Browsing from stall to stall, I saw a man with a friendly face and nice smile who seemed eager to please.
“Yes, sir, lunch — no problem, sir!” he said, just as happy as could be.
“Which is your best fish today?” I asked.
The man grabbed directly for a big, fat sea bass that looked good and fresh and held it up. Clear eyes, firm to the touch, no funny smell. “Let’s do it,” I said.
“Yes, sir!” the man replied as he placed my fish on his grill. Soon it was sizzling and smoking, which in the sea breeze made for an intoxicating aroma. His waiter hustled over a salad of tomatoes, onions, peppers and lemons and a basket filled with baguette hunks. And a Coke.
Morocco is a Muslim country. Beer and wine are not readily available in many places. Old-school Essaouira is one of those places.
I liked Essaouira because it was manageable. It is small enough to experience fully in just two or three days.
For those who are into such things, the medina is an official historic site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
“An exceptional example of a late-18th-century fortified town,” according to UNESCO, “built according to the principles of contemporary European military architecture in a North African context.”
You can look up the academic details for yourself. For a common person, let’s just say it’s really pretty.
And it is like a candy-store for shoppers, or even just window- shoppers. Beads, spices, clothing, hand-carved wood products and, of course, carpets.
Even though Essaouira has a beach, it is not a beach town, like Agadir, 80 miles to the south. Agadir has a milelong grand strand of resort hotels populated by practically naked people getting tanned.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Essaouira is more traditional. The beach in the off-season might be nearly empty except for a group of locals and European tourists playing soccer on the sand and a few fully clothed Muslim women splashing in the surf.
But there is something special about the beach — windsurfing. The wide, crescent-shaped beach at Essaouira surrounds a windswept bay, and enthusiasts have identified Essaouira as perfect for the sport.
Those who want to try can rent equipment on the spot.
Night came, and with it time to take a walk. There was a small, old building overlooking the beach. A sign bolted to the exterior wall said “BAR.”
Inside was an old dive of a bar — dark and dirty with a sooty 15-inch TV fixed high on a wall showing the news in Arabic and, later, a fuzzy-picture soccer match. Off to the side, there was a small patio that overlooked the beach with small tables and chairs crowded onto it. The place even had a name: The Chalet. There was no food, which was probably just as well.
A handful of female tourists were sitting on the patio overlooking the surf, as were a handful of local men hitting on them.
The drinks selection was Fanta, Coke, tea, coffee and Flag Speciale, the Moroccan national beer that comes in a small green bottle. So I cracked open a Speciale, leaned back in my rickety chair and took a swig.
And do you know what? It was a nice place to watch the birds and the waves and the big fishing boats moored at the docks, silhouetted in black against the red-orange sunset.
Know and Go
Flights are few and far between going to and from Essaouira’s small airport. One might be better off flying into Agadir or Marrakech and renting a car or taking a taxi or bus. The drive up the Atlantic coast from Agadir to Essaouira is scenic and, in places, majestic. The vast, untouched beaches with waves crashing on them compel one to pull over for photographs. You might find that you’re the only person there.
Where to stay
I stayed at the Hotel Tafoukt, where a room costs about $40 per night. The room was a bit of a dive, although the owners were kind and helpful. I’d recommend staying at a riad, a traditional Moroccan residence that has been turned into a guest house. There are several companies on the Internet that can help you book one, or just search for “Essaouira” and “riad” online.
There are also a number of little old hotels within the medina, and a couple of upscale places if you want to spend some cash.
The fish market by the docks is grand if you like fish. Fill up for about 15 euros at most places. There are plenty of restaurants in the medina, so go hunting for one. Or nibble your way around the old town, spending a couple of dirham here and there at the various food stands, which offer mostly finger foods.
The town’s Web site is www.essaouiratourisme.com, but it’s in French only. It offers contacts for more information. The town, as a whole, does not cater to English-speaking tourists. French, Arabic and Berber are the languages used. But the old town is small and fairly easily managed by anyone with basic traveling wits.

Recovery investment in green infrastructure, education and training, R+D into clean tech and agriculture, and real investment into renewable energy would certainly herald a new policy position on action on climate change. It would assist the economic recovery, and demonstrate a willingness to make smart decisions in the eye of the storm.
The Covid-19 emergency has had a devastating impact on the global population and economy. It defied national borders, spreading like wildfire, physically illustrating just how connected we really are as a global population.
The virus has made us comfortably reliant on daily science briefings to inform our new normal social behaviours as we look to our doctors, researchers, and elected leaders for guidance and reassurances that the disaster is in hand. In addition, this health crisis has decimated global markets and rapidly triggered unemployment figures reflective of the Great Depression.
Consideration of global responses reveal that those who acted firmly and early, were able to significantly reduce the chaos that ensued.
Reflecting on these universal characteristics, it could be argued, that COVID-19 and the climate emergency are a lot alike. They share a global geography and are irreverent to nationalistic borders.
They both result in mass market disruption and reactivate a civic reliance on the state, rather than the corporation to step in as civic protector, the earlier the better. They involve externalities, and challenge systems resilience. The two issues are invisible, you can’t touch them or see them in motion, but you can certainly witness their path of destruction.
Additionally, the mitigation measures to deal with both emergencies are entirely dependent on data, research and science.
Both will decimate the human population if the inertia to take action reigns. Importantly, the outcome of both situations is very much driven by civic action or inaction. Lastly, both play out in the theatre of the all-powerful Mother Nature.
The Coronavirus truly challenges the anthropocentric view of the world. If Mother Nature can simultaneously bring the global population to a grinding halt, and arrest the financial markets with a virus, it strikes us that perhaps now is the time to reflect upon the more humble eco-centric view and pay our dues accordingly.
This virus has sent us all to our rooms to consider what is really important.
We’ve found ourselves reflecting on what really counts when the “busyness” stops. Gyms were closed and office employees were dispatched to work from home, forcing many of us to familiarise ourselves with our own local neighbourhood and landscapes.
We’ve all noticed the steady stream of folks out walking, running, cycling morning, noon and night. With all sport cancelled, families can now be seen walking and biking together in the great outdoors of our parklands and waterways.
Perhaps this time of reflection will result in a renewed affection for nature? Notice the kookaburras at dawn now?
Or, that the sunsets are magnificent this time of year? It’s that feeling of spontaneous awe that Mother Nature can conjure up with an ancient tree or a stunning sunrise.
That feeling of awe intimately connects us to nature. It has been inspiring to see how quickly Mother Nature took this opportunity to recover, with cleaner waterways and skies observed all over the world.
Perhaps this time of reflection at home will result in a renewed love for our environment, and therefore an immediate concern for its demise due to climate change.
We have certainly witnessed a renewed concern for the community. Collectivism is prevailing, and evident in the successful “levelling of the curve”. For the first time since the Great Wars, we are witnessing global communities coming together to look out for one another, as we all make sacrifices to protect those most vulnerable.
Every citizen is taking actions for the greater good. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is a rehearsal for what’s to come under climate change?
Climate change is no longer a scientific model, it’s Batemans Bay on New Year’s Eve.
The vicious summer of 2019-20 made it clear to every Australian citizen that climate change has arrived.
Rather than a futuristic scenario model, climate change became something that could be cruelly counted; 18.6 million hectares, 5900 buildings, 2779 homes and 34 lives.
Australians are battling drought, floods, fires and now a health crisis accompanied by an economic wrecking ball. These events must influence the psyche of the Australian resilience, and readiness to take action against climate change.
So post Corona isolation, what will remain? It strikes us that COVID-19 is providing a clear window into what global climate change might look like. COVID-19 has demonstrated that a change in the ecosystem in one part of the world, can cause global economic turmoil, illustrating how the two seemingly unrelated systems are intricately related.
If a virus can cause a global financial catastrophe, what will climate change do? Surely now the argument of “the cost of action is too high” no longer stands up to interrogation when we will be re-paying the cost of inaction for generations.
COVID-19 has demonstrated that
Australian state and federal governments can unite rapidly to flatten the curve
In addition, COVID has taught us in no uncertain terms, that delayed action costs lives. Early Columbia University models indicate that a response delay of one week cost 35,000 American lives. A two-week delay cost the US 54,000 lives.
By contrast, and closer to home, COVID-19 has demonstrated that Australian state and federal governments can unite rapidly to flatten the curve.
Perhaps this is a rehearsal for the inter-governmental cooperation required to address the multi-faceted challenges of climate change. COVID-19 has proven that governments and global populations can take action when consequences are visible.
There is of course an immediate opportunity regarding the potential for government funded green infrastructure.
The recent New South Wales Government announcement of a $3 billion Infrastructure and Job Acceleration Fund, will not only provide a pathway to employment, and economic recovery, but could also embed critical climate resilience criteria, setting a new standard for resilient infrastructure funding.
Recovery investment in green infrastructure, education and training, R+D into clean tech and agriculture, and real investment into renewable energy would certainly herald a new policy position on action on climate change.
In our minds, it would assist the economic recovery, and demonstrate a willingness to make smart decisions in the eye of the storm. Gosh! Just imagine…
Still the question persists, after this great pause, what will remain? What will we take with us, and what will we disregard as no longer viable, relevant, true, or important?
And when life resumes “as normal”, what will be important? After months of renewed trust and faith in science and scientists, will we finally stop dismissing climate scientists?

In 2002, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell caused a bit of a kerfuffle among conservatives when asked during an MTV forum if he supported the Pope’s stance against condom use. Specifically, Powell, a Republican, said he supported — nay, encouraged — condom use among people who are sexually active to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The dogma of the George W. Bush administration had been abstinence-only education, but the White House supported Powell.
CNN asked then-congressman Pence to appear alongside Democrat Jan Schakowsky of Illinois for a discussion. When Wolf Blitzer asked Pence what he thought of Powell endorsing condom use, Pence had this to say:
Well, Wolf, I think it was — given the enormous stature that Colin Powell rightly has, not only in America but in the world community, it was a sad day… And the truth is that Colin Powell had an opportunity here to reaffirm this president’s commitment to abstinence as the best choice for our young people, and he chose not to do that in the first instance, but — and so I think it’s very sad. The other part is that, frankly, condoms are a very, very poor protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and in that sense, Wolf, this was — the secretary of state maybe inadvertently misleading millions of young people and endangering lives.
Uh-huh. Condoms, the physical barrier which the CDC says are “highly effective” at preventing STDs, offer poor protection, according to Mike Pence, M.D. But he didn’t stop there:
I just simply believe the only truly safe sex, Wolf, as the president believes, is no sex. And we ought to, with leaders of the stature of the secretary of state, we ought to be sending a message to kids across the country and the opportunity had across the world that abstinence is the best choice for young people. But let’s be clear, last year, the National Institute of Health, Wolf, and some 28 separate experts said at least a half dozen to ten sexually transmitted diseases for which condom use has zero preventative value. The secretary of state is simply wrong.
Did the NIH really say that? In a word, no. A 2001 report said condoms clearly prevented the spread of HIV and gonorrhea but there was insufficient evidence that condoms offered protection against human papillomavirus, chlamydia, syphilis, chancroid, trichomoniasis, and genital herpes. But it does not mean that they don’t work; it means that more research is needed. As someone close to the report told the Washington Post: “It is extremely important that the public understand the difference between data being inadequate and condoms being inadequate.” It is definitely not zero protection.
Pence finally admitted that he wasn’t comfortable with Powell’s response, because it was too modern and liberal. “The problem is it was too modern of an answer, Wolf. It was — it truly was a modern, liberal answer to a problem that parents like me are facing all over America, and frankly, all over the world.”
That’s right, just pretend your kids will never have sex so you don’t have to talk to them about condoms.

Validating the assessment of glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase g6pd Wank buddy webcam
Despite decades of research, our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of G6PD deficiency in the RBC is incomplete.
While many functional allelic variants of G6PD have been described, it is less well understood how this genetic heterogeneity translates into diversity at the level of molecular and clinical phenotypes.
As many factors influence RBC senescence, it is also important to think of G6PD enzyme deficiency as a population characteristic, dependent on the age distribution of RBCs, where a significant proportion of reticulocytes can impact the measurement of G6PD enzyme activity in hemolysates.
In females that are heterozygous for G6PD deficiency polymorphisms, the picture of cell population variation is even more complicated due to the random X-chromosome inactivation that produces a mosaic population of G6PD-normal and G6PD-deficient RBCs.
Neither genetic nor gross biochemical approaches capture the full picture of G6PD activity.
While genetic typing offers generally unequivocal interpretation of results, it is imperfectly predictive of both molecular and clinical phenotypes.
Screening and diagnosis of G6PD deficiency is currently performed using genetic or biochemical assays, the former being cost ineffective in populations with significant allelic heterogeneity, and the latter being limited in ability to detect female heterozygotes.
In addition, typing multiple polymorphisms may not be cost-effective in resource-poor areas of allelic heterogeneity such as West Africa, Southeast Asia, or Oceania.
Conversely, while gross biochemical approaches offer a functional assessment of G6PD deficiency, they are often difficult to interpret, especially for mosaic female heterozygotes, and insufficiently scalable.
Gross biochemical typing of G6PD involves either direct or indirect measures of enzyme activity in hemolysates.
Direct tests are those that assess the enzyme's production of NADPH, which absorbs (340 nm) and fluoresces (450 nm) at characteristic wavelengths of light.

Las Cruces, N.M. is the home of New Mexico State, a program that is making its return to the Sun Belt.
The Aggies made the move from the Big West Conference in 2001 to Sun Belt, where they competed until 2005 before jumping to the Western Athletic Conference, or WAC.
Since then the WAC has pretty much fallen apart along with all the other conference movement that has taken place with other teams across the country, New Mexico State is back in the “Belt.”
The Aggies have faced Troy only once, back in 2004, when the Trojans fell 22-18 to NMS.
New Mexico State’s move to the Sun Belt is football only with all the other sports moving from the WAC to the Big Sky Conference.
Last season, the Aggies started with so much promise with a season opener victory over Sacramento State 49-19 but that would be New Mexico State’s first and last win of the season as the team limped to the finish line (1-11).
The road doesn’t get any easier for New Mexico State who is slated to play Texas, Minnesota and UCLA in 2013.

I put this rug at the back entry in front of our sliding door. This door is right in our TV room so the rug is in a spot that is seen everyday and it looks great. The fabric around the edge makes it look very nice and the colors are natural. It does a great job of catching any dust from traffic through this door. You defnitely need a non-slip pad under this rug if you put it on a hardwood floor. In the past I had a Sisal rug with a rubber or rubber-like backing and the backing totally disintegrated. No matter how much I vacuumed, it still dropped black dust on the floor. I am very happy to have found this rug with a fabric backing so I won't have that problem again.

I’ve talked about StoryCorps here before. Its mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. Whether you’re familiar with it or not, do yourself a favor and spend a little time today poking around the website and listening. (There are also animated videos of many of the interviews, and a podcast.)
If you’re short on time, I’d like to point you in a specific direction. Their initiative called Road to Resilience: Memories that Move Us Forward “leverages the power of stories and storytelling to help children cope with the death of a parent, sibling, or loved one.” It provides a beautiful way for children to explore their grief over losing a loved one and preserve their memories of that cherished person.

When playing slots, there is no way to ensure that you will win, but you can try to maximize your chances of winning by choosing games with a low variance and lowering your bet size. In addition, you can reduce your spins per game to prevent burning through your bankroll too quickly. You can also take advantage of bonus rounds and free spins to increase your odds of winning. You can also try different games with varying paylines to see what works best for you.
There is a variety of different slot machines that players can choose from, but they all have one thing in common: they will have to deposit some money in order to play them. Some of these machines will accept cash or paper tickets with barcodes, while others will require a casino-issued debit or credit card. Regardless of which type of machine you choose, it is essential to read the rules and regulations carefully before depositing any money.
A slot is a thin opening or groove in something, often used for passing items through it. You can find slot machines in casinos, hotels and restaurants, and even in theme parks. There are also many online slots, which allow players to wager real money and have a chance of winning big prizes. There are several things to keep in mind when choosing a slot, such as the number of pay lines, the amount of money that can be won and whether you can change the number of paylines between games.

Stream – Nick Thayer – Like Boom EP (OWSLA)
Nick Thayer – Like Boom EP (OWSLA)
“Nick is one of the most versatile producers I know … taking everything from house to drum and bass to moombahton and putting his own forward-thinking spin on it. Not genre bound, just music bound.” – Skrillex
In his own words, Nick Thayer might be best described as “the musical equivalent of putting seven glowsticks in a blender”. As renowned for uninhibited and unashamedly eclectic DJ sets as he is for impeccable production, Nick’s cut-loose mentality is his trademark both in the club and in the studio. “I don’t care about genres. Good music is good music” he says. You could put this unbound attitude down to his classically trained background, his stint in grunge and funk bands or even his lifelong love of hair rock. Whatever it is, one thing’s certain: Nick Thayer was made for this.
A hugely successful AV show in conjunction with visual artist sevenmilligram is another very special trick up Nick’s sleeve. This show is like no other; it’s a complete assault on the senses and needs to be seen to be believed. Following on from his 2010 album Just Let It Go – which was nominated for Best Electronic Album at the Australian Independent Music Awards – 2012 sees Nick signing to Skrillex’s OWSLA label with the ‘Like Boom’ EP. The result is worth the wait; showing scant regard for genres or tempos, or even accepted notions of what club music should be, it promises to rip sound systems apart.
“Nick Thayer makes music that will get girls shaking their ass no matter what. Impossible not to groove to his music, and if you don’t you’re a square.” – Dillon Francis
“I can always rely on Nick for the serious club bangers.” – DJ Yoda
“Nick Thayer keeps it tight, lets it groove and smacks it up.” – Dominic B (Stanton Warriors)
“Nick Thayer is easily one of the most exciting electronic music producers today. His take on the moombahton sound pushes it in a creative and refreshing direction. Full support!” – Dave Nada

Scott McLaughlin has kicked off his title defence in imperious fashion, cruising to victory in the opening race of the season in Adelaide.
McLaughlin beat home seven-time series champion Jamie Whincup, with his Red Bull teammate Shane van Gisbergen making it a 2-3 finish for the Holden outfit.
Will Davison finished an impressive fourth in his Milwaukee Mustang, ahead of Tickford stablemate Chaz Mostert.
Polesitter Fabian Coulthard ended up sixth after a trying afternoon, with Nick Percat, David Reynolds, Mark Winterbottom and James Courtney rounding out the top 10.
A fast-starting McLaughlin led the field through the first chicane as Coulthard and Whincup bogged down off the start.
Coulthard and Whincup both looked to have jumped the gun, and the former was handed a 10-second penalty for a false start.
Heat was the hot topic of the day - as it had been all weekend - with temps touching 40 degrees at race start. Cameron Waters' day was ruined when his cool suit system failed, forcing his Monster Mustang into the pits.
After a relatively incident-free run past the opening stops, the race's first real flashpoint occurred on lap 26, when Lee Holdsworth cooked it heading into turn seven. With the exit tyre wall brought to the kerb's edge for 2019, Holdsworth was buried - and Scott Pye had nowhere to go.
Both cars went into the pits, Holdsworth for repairs to his damaged rear wing, Pye forced out of the race.
As the second round of stops began to play out, van Gisbergen had his hands full with a pumped-up Mostert for laps on end, with the 2016 series champion defending with vigour.
On lap 49, Mostert - with five-lap younger tyres - lost his cool and locked up heading into turn four, and dropped to fifth behind Davison.
McLaughlin finally pitted from the lead on lap 51, and emerged with the length of the pit straight over Whincup, with van Gisbergen sitting pretty in third.
From there, it was a serene run to the flag, with the 78-lap affair running without safety car intervention.
McLaughlin marked his run to the flag singing Daryl Braithwaite's 'Horses' in homage to the new-for-2019 Mustang model.
The Mustang - replacing the Falcon in 2019 - returned its first win in 46 years in ATCC/Supercars competition.
McLaughlin's win marked the first time since 2007 that a Triple Eight-built car hadn't won the first race of a new season.
It was the 25-year-old's first win on the streets of Adelaide, and the 26th championship race win of his career.

Have an inhaler? Make sure you use it correctly
Respiratory Over 80% of people – including healthcare professionals – use poor inhaler technique. Here's how to do it right.
Inhalers are often prescribed for people with respiratory disorders such, as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
However, Monica Fletcher, Chief Executive of Education for Health and Chair of the UK Inhaler Group, says: “Studies have shown that as many as 80-90 per cent of inhaler users do not use them correctly. This includes healthcare professionals who may be demonstrating their use to patients.
“This is critical because misuse may mean that patients do not receive the correct dose of their medication – or perhaps none, which can affect their health and even increase the risk of death”.
It also means that medicines are wasted, increasing NHS costs unnecessarily.
"80-90 per cent of inhaler users do not use them correctly."
“The UK Inhaler Group aims to improve the education about correct inhaler technique among patients and health professionals,” says Fletcher.
The situation is complicated by the increasing number of devices available. “It's good that there is a wide choice but this also means that doctors, nurses and pharmacists have difficulty keeping up to date with new devices and how to use them properly,” Fletcher says.
It is important to note that there are two broad types of inhalers. Pressurised, metered dose inhalers (pMDI), which deliver medicines in a spray form, while dry powder inhalers contain powdered medicine in a reservoir or a capsule inside the device.
So what is the right inhaler technique?
First, before using any inhaler, empty the lungs as much as you can, so that when you inhale, you 'suck down' the medication as far as possible.
Fletcher says: “Breathing out fully can be hard for some people, particularly those with COPD, so there are additional devices called ‘spacers’ that can be prescribed, which means this is not necessary
For many inhalers it is important to get the hand/breath coordination right, so you breathe in as you press the inhaler.
When inhaling from pMDI’s, the breath should be slow and steady. With dry powder inhalers, the inhalation should be quick and deep.
Once you have inhaled, hold your breath for a little while for the medicine to stay in the lungs
“Remember, inhalers deliver effective medicines so it is important to take inhaler technique seriously.”
Fletcher says: “Even assuming patients have been taught effective inhaler technique it is easy for users to become complacent. So you should have your inhaler technique checked regularly.”
There are video demonstrations of correct use of some inhalers at www.asthma.org.uk and in early 2018 these will be updated with a complete range of currently available devices.

simple, not that new but the mixed concept was interesting and i had fun playing it
Awesome game for it shortness. I am really hoping for a sequel to this. The animations are smooth, the cutscenes are pretty interesting. Cool little story behind it.
The only thing I did not enjoy is that it seemed that the medusa character seemed to have an advantage. Each move she played she always had 3 successful moves before missing. Maybe it is sheer coincidence, but I am just letting you know!
Great game. I thought the final boss was kind of cheating during the final battle, grabbing power-up after power-up at random, but then I got a Special and wrecked 90% of her health in one shot. Fun game, and the story was enjoyable.
There's something about the battle system is VERY addictive! Love this game.
Excellent game, I hate you a little bit for that twist though.

Announcements on the actor’s birthdays are a common phenomenon in Kollywood, and one of Tamil cinema’s favorite men at the moment, Vijay Sethupathi had one of his own on his birthday which fell on Tuesday. The first look poster of Sindhubaadh, his upcoming action thriller was launched to a hugely positive response from fans and netizens alike.
The poster of the film adopts the painting format, showing a bruised Vijay Sethupathi waiting on one end as a large group of people are running into him with sticks and sickles. As director Arun Kumar had handled the massy star in him well with Sethupathi, this could be yet another awesome commercial outing for the star who is slowing changing over to do more crowd-centric roles.
The majority of the shoot for Sindhubaadh has been completed across Chennai and Bangkok, with the team really confident on how the action has turned out. Yuvan’s music is definitely one more big plus to the film, given the form that the composer is with his extremely impressive background scores in Irumbu Thirai and Maari 2. With Anjali as the female lead, Sindhubaadh might be ready to hit the screens as a massive release in April-May, right in the middle of the summer holidays. Read More

The purpose of this lesson is to help students identify and recognize modern-day heroes—people who have made, and are making, a difference in their communities or in the world. Students will learn how local movements can become national, then global, movements through the activism and perseverance of upstanding individuals.
I work with upper-middle-class students, and it is sometimes difficult for them to understand that not all children have access to the same opportunities they have regarding dining out, participating in extracurricular activities, vacations or receiving allowances. Consequently, I wanted to create a lesson on the value of money.
Our students come from upper-middle-class homes and live in a sheltered suburban community with little exposure to anyone significantly different than themselves. Teaching tolerance is difficult when they have few experiences with diversity. This project introduces students to a diverse group of people who experienced intolerance.

Horror, vegetarianism, and the politics of consumption in the gothic tradition
- Jimmy Packham, University of Birmingham
The nights are drawing in and Halloween has just passed: it is an ideal time to start tucking into our squashes and pumpkin soups, and, in previous years, we may recently have been handing out sweets to roaming bands of trick or treaters. It is a perfect time, too, for telling each other scary stories. But is there any more profound connection between these things – between our food and our horror stories?
A conventional definition of the gothic and horror would likely suggest that these are the literatures of terror, of haunted houses, and of the powers of darkness. Something else, however, links such gothic staples as Frankenstein’s monster, Count Dracula, and zombies: the preoccupations their narratives have with their diets. Vampires and zombies are subjects of horror precisely because of what they eat – namely, us.
The gothic has long had a substantial interest in the political and philosophical connotations of what we eat – and how and why we eat it. Our monsters are a litmus test for the ethical behaviours by which we would define ourselves: they reiterate what forms of behaviour are normal or unproblematic. In particular, a recent trend in gothic fiction and film focuses on the value and meaning of vegetarianism – visible for instance in novels like Han Kang’s The Vegetarian (2007; published in English in 2015) and films like Julia Ducourneau’s Raw (2017).
Since at least 1818, vegetarian ethics have figured prominently in gothic stories: Frankenstein’s monster proclaims the superiority of his ethical worldview by telling his creator that he doesn’t eat meat: ‘I do not destroy the lamb and the kid, to glut my appetite’, he tells Victor. In The Vegetarian, the protagonist Yeong-Hye stops eating meat after suffering a series of troubling nightmares, and then begins opting out of almost all forms of consumption completely. The novel explores the difficult – even impossible – prospect of trying to live wholly nonviolently or in completely ecologically friendly ways. Yeong-hye establishes an ethical standard she cannot ever really meet. These ‘vegetarian horror’ stories call attention to the persistent violences that underpin human interactions with the nonhuman world, while also insisting on a shared sense of being and belonging in (and to) the world.
What is ultimately of value in paying attention to these narratives is not how they offer uncomplicated portraits of the best ways of engaging with the world: Yeong-Hye’s choices are figured as horrific as much as they are admirable. Rather it seems that the gothic stages moments of shock and horror in order to urge us to fathom the limits of our own ethics, to estrange us from our everyday actions – such as eating – in order that we might return to them more thoughtfully.
Such work helps us comprehend, too, how gothic narratives frame intercultural encounters: earlier this year, a sinophobic conspiracy theory circulated suggesting that the coronavirus outbreak originated in the consumption in China of bat soup, implicitly stressing the apparent horror invested by humans in certain creatures, and the cultural contingency of notions of proper ways to ‘encounter’ (or consume) the animal.

Emotions are weird and I didn't realize until today why I haven't fixed these few little things. Why I'm wandering around dreaming up new ideas for new stories and actually humoring the possibility of not even querying my current project. What? I spent a year writing a story. I know it's pretty decent. I don't query it? What's going on with my brain? Why would I even consider that?
Maybe I'm afraid of success? Maybe I know this story has a chance and I'm afraid of that possibility.
Maybe I'm just busy. Well, that's true. I am busy. But, I've been busier and gotten more work done. So, that doesn't count.
Or, maybe I'm so normal that it's embarrassing. Failure. Ah, yes, my old friend failure. The possibility that this story, the one that's actually quite good, might not make it. The best I can do isn't good enough. Isn't right. Isn't wanted. Again.
I'd rather just snuggle up in the world where acceptance is still a possibility. Where I don't have to read the rejection letters filling my inbox. I can just imagine and pretend that everyone loves my story. Everyone wants me.
But I can't live here much longer. :/
Bleh. Stupid, human emotions. Stupid fear. Kill them all!
What about you? Has fear of failure ever kept you from doing something you wanted to do?

I Am a Quilter:
In learning to write for
publication, I discovered that writers and artists often have overlapping
passions. Illustrators often write the text for their books, and writers--well,
writers often would love to create art, but we often don't have the background
to do so. As someone who can't draw a decent stick person, I'll never
illustrate my own writing. But quilting is helping me to illustrate my world
with sewn art.

I'm busy working on my blog posts. Watch this space!
Work in Progress: LeanTo
February 15, 2016
If your interested, you can now try the LeanTo-web application in here.
LeanTo is a great place for everyone who enjoys the wilderness, nature and hiking. The app enables the users to find other people who have the same interests as you and find new great places in the nature, near you. The user can search for lean-tos, add new lean-tos, pictures, comments and create events.
I've been working with this wonderful idea in group works for a while, we already have created use cases and user stories, UI-designs, wireframe (with PSD), working template with InVision, ERD-diagram, presentations, database designs and a data base.


The opportunity to participate in Maine Public Broadcasting Network Network’s televising of the state high school basketball tournaments during the late 1900’s and early 2000’s was indeed a personal pleasure.
Whether serving as the roving reporter — or “Floor Boy’ as one pundit labeled the position, no doubt out of considerable jealousy — or a color commentator for Eastern Maine boys basketball and state games, there was no question those annual productions resonated in a major way based on the feedback I received in grocery stores and restaurants around the state.
And with each year I returned to the team, I continually was amazed at how all the pieces came together from among equipment owned and rented and part-time personnel from within MPBN and beyond.
Since my tenure ended with a return to print (and now Web) media, the production requirements have only become more demanding, a reality that left me totally unsurprised when the Maine Principals’ Association announced Tuesday that it was soliciting bids for telecasts or live streaming of the 2016 tournament.
The writing was on the wall when the tournament was expanded to three sites, Bangor, Augusta and Portland, in an effort to respond to statewide demographic changes. That stretched available resources beyond a workable point and left MPBN with $20,000 to $30,000 of red ink on the broadcasts per year, according to its own admission.
Such a bottom line is going to be allowed to exist for only so long in any business before changes are made.
Critics of the current state of affairs are quick to play the blame game — somehow it’s MPBN’s fault for not being to raise sufficient funds for the event or it’s the MPA making some sort of money grab.
As to the latter, if it was all about the money for the MPA, why would it ever have moved the Class A regional tournament from its separate time period after February vacation week to the same week as the B, C and D regional events, as it did after the 2005 season? That clearly was a money-losing proposition for the organization, since instead of fans being able to buy tickets to attend both events they now had to make a choice since the event now are held at the same time.
As to the former, MPBN’s decision is more a reflection of the Maine economy and strains on the media in general than what any specific party did or did not do.
After all, this is just the latest step in the steady decline of traditional live televised coverage of the state high school basketball tournament.
Back when the Class A tournament was a separate entity played after February vacation week, the Eastern B, C and D tournament was broadcast by MPBN while the Eastern A tournament and Class A state finals were broadcast by WABI-TV in Bangor.
WABI got out of televising tournament games in 2003 after 50 years, leaving MPBN as the lone television source save for some assistance it has received in Portland broadcasts in recent years from Time Warner Cable.
Live coverage of regional quarterfinals, once part of the television productions have returned in recent years with such video streaming entities as WHOU in Houlton and Munzing Media in central Maine stepping in to make games available via computer.
That is likely the direction more rounds of future tournament broadcasts may go, with local video streamers providing computer access to tournament games perhaps through the regional finals. Less staff and equipment is required, meaning less overhead.
MPBN has indicated an interest in televising the 10 state championship games under the new five-class format for high school basketball in the state, though its original proposal in October to provide such coverage was turned down by the MPA, likely in an effort to make those more popular games available to other entities that may choose to bid on tournament coverage.
The MPA is accepting requests for proposals for television and web streaming rights for the 2016 basketball tournaments through 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13.
I’m of the belief that MPBN’s offer to air all 10 state finals may be the best TV deal available to the MPA, in great part because NBC, ABC or CBS affiliates around the state are unlikely to be able to clear enough time through the respective networks to air such a volume of games, particularly those below the state final level.
Mike Young, vice president and general manager of Community Broadcast Service, which owns WABI-TV and The CW in Bangor, is heavily involved in broadcasting live local sports on those outlets but acknowledged the logistical challenges of high school basketball tournament coverage in a story published Tuesday on the Bangor Daily News’ website and in its print editions.
“That’s a pretty darned good offer,” said Young of MPBN’s wish to retain coverage of basketball state championship games. “I don’t know of any broadcasters who can pull off televising five classes of games at three different sites (for the regional semifinals, finals and state games) logistically and practically. There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle that have to be assembled.”
If other games are left to be video streamed, that may become a satisfactory solution sooner than we think. While my own computer skills leave me a member of what I describe as “Ye Olde Lead Pencil Society,” using a television screen to watch such computer-generated programming is becoming much more commonplace so it may not be long before the entire tournament becomes available again to those with such technological capability.
In the interim there also may be a renewed opening for radio tournament coverage, which also has dwindled over the years in the face of increased costs and decreased advertising.
It’s clear to me there is a market for high school basketball tournament telecasts, and that dividing those responsibilities and costs among various video-streaming companies as well as MPBN can continue to make this rite of Maine winter available in homes around the state.

This week I received a SMS text from a friend of mine. This forwarded message talked about how the “so-called” militant groups only attack schools, mosques and bazars and how this really proves that the attackers are not who they claim to be. After all, the TTP and others are Muslims and so their targets would have automatically been “places of obscenity” like bars and discos as well as gambling dens and brothels.
Therefore, the text message concluded, these attackers are actually foreign agents in the garb of Islamic militant organizations. Case closed. I would have laughed this off except that many people in Pakistan believe this. In fact, most swear that this is indeed the case. That is why they continue to silently support the militants.
There are some who are not even silent in their support. They believe in the cause and are happy to provide sanctuary as well as financial help. In most instances, al Qaeda operatives have been arrested from the houses of such people. And yet we are unable to wake up to this reality.
If there is any doubt about the commitment of these sympathizers, one only has to look at the video released by Jamia Hafsa students in which they have paid homage to the leaders of the ISIS and their fighters. The language, the tone and words used give one an idea of how committed such people are to turning Pakistan into an ISIS controlled state.
I remember a visit to Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar some years back where I talked to a policeman whose foot had been blown off due to an explosive device planted by militants. When I asked him how he felt, he said he was confused. On the one hand he was angry at his injury but he still didn’t blame the other side and said he was sympathetic to their cause too. This sums up our predicament.
Forget the few hundred who rant and rave on social media (which is largely in English) or those well-meaning commentators who write strong pieces for our English language media. The majority of Pakistanis, who have grown up on a diet of a sensationalist media and a hate-mongering school curricula, or have been moulded in their thinking by rabid religious or political figures that thrive on the anti-India, anti-West propaganda, their perceptions are entirely different.
You cannot make them believe that in fact the militants our government nurtured all along have turned against us. I once asked then president Asif Zardari why was it that when there was a drone strike there were several protests but when there was a terrorist attack, no one stood up to protest in the same manner. Not even the politicians. He did not have an answer for that.
This is a country that believes there were no Jews in the World Trade Center building on the day of the September 11 attacks, or that Neil Armstrong actually heard a call to prayer when he landed on the moon. They believe that a car can be run on water.
It is no surprise that in most terror attacks in the country, there is almost always a foreign hand to be found. It is either Central Asians or Afghans. But never Pakistanis. Never do we say that the terrorist killed was actually from South Punjab or Upper Sindh. It is always someone else. Never us. Strange tattoos are found on the bodies of these terrorists. As if they are part of some secret cult and not a militant organization.
As we enter a new year, maybe we can also come up with a new look at how to deal with the war of the minds. This is as important as the battle being fought in North Waziristan. Pakistanis have to be convinced that it is their war. And more important, they should be willing to fight it.
I am hopeful that the small civil society protests started by brave people like Jibran Nasir and Shan Taseer are able to gather momentum in the coming months. But most of those who attend these rallies come from an enlightened background. The masses are missing. There is still not enough anger against the losses we have suffered. We need to change that.

I started right at the end of August. I played with mostly putters and mids until a few weeks ago. Then I started to add in steps, I somehow developed really nasty OAT. Today in the field I fixed it for the most part and I had my buddy film me so I could get some more help. I know I'm going pretty slow, but that's because if I go any faster I lose control, I just need more practice. For the most part, the discs all went roughly where I was throwing them. I don't know exactly how far they went, roughly 200' - 270'. Most were probably clumped in the 220ish range. (I used the stride distance calculator and googles conversion of fraction of miles to feet so not super accurate). This is only a few throws. I didn't want to post 3 minutes of me throwing 20 discs. http://youtu.be/MakBYxtKIUk
If at all possible I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong, what I'm doing right and what I need to do (not necessarily in that order).
Things I already know:
I think I need to take bigger strides, which is part of going faster.
I think I need another step in there, Left, Right, Left (behind right) Right (plant foot) is that correct?
I know I need to pivot on my heel, I just found this out and I'm not sure how to get that to be natural. I busted a lace today pivoting on the front of my foot, I need to get some waterproof shoes for winter!
I know you guys are observant and before someone thinks (or mentions) the grip bag. No I don't like to waste money, I just happen to have a girlfriend who wanted to spoil me for my birthday. When I asked why she spent so much she replied "I did some research and it seemed like it was one of the best, it has a lifetime warranty!". What am I going to do, say no?
Anyways, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

We'll probably be sketching on small notebooks and whatnot due to space constraints, but what sort of art do you prefer doing on your own time?
Doodles around meeting notes.
What do you hope to gain from this meetup (if more than a filled sketchbook and filled belly)?
Inspiration and motivation!
Any suggestions for locations?
Most bars would be fine, but I like the idea of The Coupe or somewhere that has a little more of a bright atmosphere if possible.
