Mike Getty, the chief fossil preparator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, was a renowned field worker with unparalleled skill and an incredible work ethic. And he had what friends described as a "Getty sphere" around him, drawing others in and making them laugh.
The tight-knit paleontology field was reeling after learning that Getty died Monday after becoming ill while working on the excavation of the newly discovered triceratops in Thornton.
As a field worker — someone who identified and excavated fossils, and prepared them for study — Getty's name may not be left on research papers. But those who knew him said his legacy is the many fossils that are on display in museums across North America because of his work and the many people who learned from him.
And there is the Utahceratops gettyi, a dinosaur species he discovered in Utah that colleagues named for him.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science did not say what caused Getty's death, only that it was not related to an accident at the excavation site. Denver museum workers declined to comment, saying it was too difficult to talk about their colleague at the moment. Getty joined the museum staff four years ago.
Getty, 50, never lost his Canadian accent and brought his dog with him everywhere — even out on field sites, friends and former colleagues said.
Getty loved exploring every nook and cranny of the planet, Farke said. So if you spent time with him, that meant you'd be caving one day, snorkeling the next and digging up dinosaurs the day after.
He had a talent for knowing how to get a skeleton out of the ground and had a great work ethic that others aspired to match, Farke said. He had high expectations and if he complimented you, it meant something.
Getty worked in Argentina, Kenya, Madagascar, Canada and across the western United States, to name a few locations, Farke said. And he made friends and built a great reputation in the field along the way.
Sarah George, executive director of the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City, where Getty worked before heading to Denver, said he had a rare knack for finding bones that others would walk right past.
He also did a lot to recruit and inspire volunteers, establishing large volunteer programs in both Utah and Denver, she said. People loved being in the field with Getty.
Getty made quite an impact on the paleontology field, said ReBecca Hunt-Foster, a Bureau of Land Management paleontologist in Utah who had known Getty since 2001. Everyone wanted a Mike Getty on their team, she said, and the world will be dimmer without his constant laughs and smiles.

Friday Five: Horror Films Vol. 1
May 5, 2017 · by drunkinagraveyard · in Autumn, Film Review, Friday Five. ·
I watch a lot of horror movies. A LOT OF HORROR MOVIES. Probably more than I should. It is what it is, I won't lie, I'm a bit bonkers.
I also enjoy reviewing them – so I am happy to contribute to DIAG my thoughts in a new column of mini reviews I shall call my Friday Five Film reviews:
Here are some decent films I have seen this week;
The Void: This is, by far, one of the best horror films I have seen in a long time (not since Baskin, anyway). It's so many of my favorite horror movies wrapped up in one Lovecraftian masterpiece. It's The Thing meets Silent Hill meets Hellraiser – I can't even articulate how awesome of a combination that is, so I'll just keep this review short and simple rather than ramble on about how much of a girl boner I have for this film. Just watch it. Right now. (5 stars out of 5)
Dig Two Graves: This film was really beautiful, and played out more like a dark fairy tale than a straight-up horror movie. There are horror elements to it, but it's really more of a fantasy/revenge film than anything else. This is really two films in one, because there are two parallel story lines that are taking place throughout the course of the movie -one involves some good old Appalachian gypsy folk magic and the other involves the exploration of human morality. They all mesh together in the end, and in a way that was kind of predictable. But the beautiful cinematography and the superb acting makes you forgive that fact. (4 stars out of 5)
The Melancholy Fantastic: So I will start off by saying that I really enjoyed this film, but I'm not sure if it really falls into the realm of horror, it seems more surrealist drama than anything else – so hardcore horror fans who want blood guts and fast paced mayhem are not going to enjoy this movie. This movie is more of a subdued version of May, which was a brilliant film and incredibly disturbing and very gory. This film is May light. It's very dark, and at times it's very creepy, and it's very, very depressing. The lead actress was spot on at playing a very disturbed schizophrenic who is at the brink of mental collapse – which leads into a serious state of psychosis that ends in a very tragic way. And yet that wasn't quite the end, we are given an extended finale where there is maybe hope for her grief and madness? It's completely up to interpretation, which I appreciate. I really fell in love with the character, and I hope the best for her, but I know that is me just being too altruistic. (4 stars out of 5)
The Living and The Dead: This is another film I was pleasantly surprised with. The premise of it was incredibly interesting for me, because one of my favorite genres of horror is realism. This film explores the horror of mental illness. There were aspects of the film that I wasn't incredibly pleased with, although I know why they were part of the film. I think the filmmakers wanted to portray what it was like to experience psychosis, and what was supposed to be jarring and disturbing came off more like you were watching Trainspotting – which is fine when it comes to drugs – but psychosis in speed time lapse with wonky music seems like more of an acid trip than what psychosis is actually like (of which I am personally familiar with). The end result was executed well, and I like that it's kind of open-ended and open to interpretation as to what really transpired in "the end". The acting was phenomenal – the lead actor who played the handicapped son did a phenomenal job portraying the struggle of a severely mentally ill person – desperately wanting to be "normal" and to do whatever it takes to make their parents proud of them. There are scenes and lines in the movie that just completely broke my heart – for example: scene: severely handicapped and un-medicated son, who is in a state of psychosis and holding a knife, is confronted by his mother:
Mother: Please put down the knife, or you will hurt yourself.
Son: My self is already hurting.
Ouch. That scene hurt. I'm very impressed with this film. (4 stars out of 5 – on Shudder)
These Final Hours: I wasn't really expecting much from this film, because the premise of it was quite unimpressive. Now I understand why it began the way it began, because it made the end of the movie that much more heartbreaking – because you watch an individual (who at first is detestable) completely change and transform into a totally different person because of the circumstances he experiences on his "journey". I don't want to get too much into it because I don't want to spoil it for anybody, but this film affected me a lot more than I expected. It actually made me cry. With the state of the world right now, and this type of scenario not completely off the table, this film forces you to think about decisions that you would have to make that are incredibly difficult and seemingly next to impossible. Very much like the novel/film On The Beach, which was also Australian. (4 stars out of 5 – on Shudder)

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) – A lawsuit filed by two Black women who work for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department accuses their employer ordering them to be silent while at work in retaliation for claims of racial discrimination.
"I was not to talk to anyone in our office," said Kim Lee, a 23-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department. "'Come to work, do your job, and just leave,'" she said she was told by her supervisor.

I want to display those properties in jsp. i used to struts tag i am not able to get it , i am able to get string property of action , but not Object can you please help me... se my  code below. i went all suport. i am not able to fix it. i am using tomcat7 .
   public class SearchResultAction extends ActionSupport{
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SearchResultAction.class);
private String name;

private DocumentData documentData;

 public String execute() throws Exception {

   documentData=new DocumentData();

   documentData.setdocName("docName");
   documentData.setdDocTitle("docTitle");

   if (documentData!=null)

      {
         return SUCCESS;
      }else{
         return ERROR;
      }
     }

public String getName() {
  return name;

}

public DocumentData getDocumentData() {

}

public void setDocumentData(DocumentData documentData) {
    this.documentData = documentData;
}
 }

My jsp code is:
<s:property value="documentData.docName" default="object is null"/>

My pojo class is:
 public class DocumentData {
String docName;
String dDocTitle;
String dDocDate;
String dDocAuther;

// setters and getters for all property
  }

A: Your docName setter doesn't follow JavaBean conventions; does your getter?
E.g., setdocName should be setDocName, the getter getDocName.
OGNL is going to call getDocName(), if the method doesn't exist, you won't get data.

City Creek Canyon has a wonderful paved trail that allows people of all ages to access a bit of nature right in downtown Salt Lake City.
Starting at Memory Grove Park and heading north, the 1.2-mile path gently climbs alongside the meandering City Creek. Walkers and bikers are allowed, and you can bring your leashed dogs on the paved path. A small dirt path known as the Freedom Trail runs parallel to the paved path for a short while, and you may let the dogs off leash on this portion.
Feel free to let them jump in the creek since this is not a watershed area. There is the possibility of extending your bike ride much further than the 1.2-mile trail within the lower canyon. A 5.8-mile paved canyon maintenance road that is connected at the top of the trail is open to bike traffic on certain days days and to cars on others.
In the summer bicycling is only allowed in the canyon on odd days beginning the last Monday in May and ending the last even day of September. Regardless of date, bicycling is not allowed on summer holidays, including Memorial Day, July 4, Pioneer Day, and Labor Day.
During the remainder of the year bicycling is allowed every day except during the rifle deer hunt for the area. Dates vary from year to year, but it is often the third week in October. City Creek Canyon is included within the Chalk Creek/East Canyon/Morgan-South Rich hunting boundary or game management unit.
Pros: Very close to town. Low elevation climb. Allows dogs.
Cons: Can be crowded. Road not very smooth.

Calling Out Ahgases And Making Some Noise For GOT7 2019: Keep Spinning World Tour

GOT7 – A South Korean Boy Band Under JYPE
Got7 (갓세븐) is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of seven members: JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom. Got7 debuted in January 2014 with the release of their first EP Got It? which peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart and number one on Billboard's World Albums Chart. Got7 is described as a hip-hop group that incorporates martial arts tricking and b-boying styles in their performances.
According to Park Jin-young, Got7 originated from the best-selling first-generation group g.o.d, as Park was supposed to debut with them as a six-member mix-gender group and used the working name Got6. The final name includes the lucky number seven, meaning "seven lucky people have come together."
Recently, Got7 released their ninth extended play, Spinning Top: Between Security & Insecurity, on May 20th, 2019. They then embarked on a world tour from June 15th to October 26th, 2019. Let's see which cities Got7 went to and treated fans with a live performance.

Opening with "You Are" and "Skyway," GOT7 caught the audience's attention with their solo stage and the unit stage filled with strong performances from each of the members. JB and Youngjae performed their solo acts "Ride" and "Gravity" consecutively. On the other side, Mark, BamBam, and Jackson pulled out a masculine aura with their rap performances. Jinyoung and Yugyeom also amused their fans with their solo dance and joint dance routine.
The solo stage and unit stage is a GOT7 prepared stage, exclusive for this worldwide tour. It's for fans who have been waiting for their performances. GOT7 also showed their gratitude to those who attended their concerts, Jinyoung said, "Because we have fans that are with us, we GOT7 will go beyond 5 years, beyond 7 years. We've also fought but in the end (we thought) we only have ourselves and we have to go to the end with ahgases." Youngjae also said, "As long as we (GOT7) do well, this can be forever. I've begun thinking and believing in that."
Many idols showed their support for GOT7's Keep Spinning world tour at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. Among the idols who attended the GOT7 concert were BTOB's Peniel, Straykids's Felix, I.N, and Seungmin, 15&'s Park Jimin, B.A.P's Jongup, Baek A Yeon, and KARD's Jiwoo.
On June 15th, the first child to attend the Keep Spinning concert in Seoul and have her wish come true was the 17-year-old fan named Karime Sophia Oliva. Karime has pulmonary stenosis, now living in California (USA).

Aside from performing for their fans all over the world, the group is also turning the event for a cause. GOT7 has forged a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to invite children across the globe who are fighting incurable diseases to attend their concerts. JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom invited children with critical illnesses and their families to join them in their concert.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is currently accepting requests from children with incurable diseases who wish to attend GOT7's concerts or meet the group. The foundation mission is to grant the wishes of children who are battling critical illnesses such as leukemia, brain tumors, and others.

As we watch Anthropogenic Global Warming slowly fail the test of reason and science, it's becoming ever more humorous to watch the label of "denier" shift from those who are skeptical about AGW to those who religiously promote the concept and refuse … absolutely refuse, to even debate the gaping scientific holes emerging in AGW science.
The following are a few recent goodies. Consider them just a few of the thousand cuts:
First Off, an Oldie from Free Republic:
It's hard to imagine any Canadian being unfamiliar with David Suzuki and his long career as an environmental activist. Indeed, Suzuki has, over the years, managed to parley worry about the environment into a multi-million dollar business, making him one of Canada's great contemporary capitalists.
On Thursday (February 15), Suzuki was a guest on the John Oakley show on AM 640 in Toronto as part of his cross-Canada tour drumming up support for the Kyoto Protocol, (or more accurately, stirring up opposition to the federal Conservative Government for its environmental transgressions, real and imagined, specifically its apparent reticence in implementing the provisions of the treaty).
During the course of that interview, Suzuki makes a number of claims that are, shall we say, dubious …
How about getting so desperate, you lie to children about AGW:
getting so desperate, about AGW:
Robert Ferguson of the Science and Public Policy Institute published his findings
Thursday concerning a material error in "The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming" which media seem destined to ignore for the benefit of the climate change movement (emphasis added throughout):
On page 18 of Laurie David's new children's global warming book, there is a glaring scientific error.
The day the Myth died:
When did the global warming hoax die? Historians are likely to pinpoint 2007. It will take another decade to insure it cannot be revived, but the avalanche of scientific studies and the cumulative impact of scientists who have publicly joined those who debunked the lies on which it has been based will be noted as the tipping point.
It took some forty years to unmask the Piltdown Man hoax that began in 1912 alleging that the skull of an ancient ancestor of man had been found in England. Any number of British anthropologists unwittingly contributed to the hoax by confirming the authenticity of the skull until it was found that the jaw of an orangutan had been cunningly attached. The unmasking of "global warming" has taken less than half that time.
When promoters turn to slurs instead of science, you've just discovered Snake Oil:
I have been collecting some of the insults levelled at AGW sceptics: cash-amplified flat-earth pseudo-scientists; the carbon cartel; villains; refuseniks lobby; polluters; a powerful and devious enemy; deniers; profligates; crank scientists. The list is endless. I remember the reaction of a Canadian scientist who dared to ask critical questions at a meeting on global warming. He was totally taken aback by the virulent reaction, "it was as if I was back in the Middle Ages and had denied the Virgin Birth". A common slur is also that all sceptics are in the pockets of the oil industry.
Anthropogenic Global Warming: RIP
"Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming bites the dust," declared astronomer Dr. Ian Wilson after reviewing a new study that has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research, authored by a Brookhaven National Lab scientist, Stephen Schwartz. A former Harvard physicist, Dr. Lubos Motl, said the new study has reduced global warming fear-mongers to "playing the children's game to scare each other."

Home/Conflicts & War/Taliban's rights decree on women silent on education, work
Taliban's rights decree on women silent on education, work
Kabul, Dec 3 (EFE).- A Taliban decree on the rights of women Friday focused mainly on marriage and post-wedding but remained silent if females would be allowed to get the education and work under the rule of the Islamists.
"A woman is not a property but a noble and free human being. No one can give her to anyone in exchange for peace deal and/or to end animosity," the Taliban said in the six-point edict referring to the widespread practice in Afghanistan.
The decree issued by the so-called "Amir al-Momenin" (commander of the faithful) Maulvi Haibatullah Akhundzada urged social and religious organizations, scholars, and tribal elders "to take serious action to enforce women's rights."
To implement the ruling, the document asked different ministries, the Supreme Court, and regional governors to publicize it as much as possible to create awareness and prevent violations.
"The Supreme Court must issue instructions to all courts to consider applications for women's rights, especially widows' rights and their oppression in a proper and principled manner," the document said.
It should be done to end the oppression of women and ensure their Sharia rights, the decree said.
It emphasized that an adult woman's consent was necessary to perform her wedding since "no one can force women to marry by coercion or pressure."
These include widows who have "the right whether to marry and or to determine/choose her future."
The decree noted that a widow had heritage rights and a fixed share in the property of her husband, children, father, and relatives. "No one can deprive a widow of her right."
However, there is no mention whatsoever of several demands of women and the international community to ensure females are allowed to study and work and get proper representation in the government.
The international community has been urging the Taliban to meet these demands since the Islamist militia took control of Afghanistan on Aug.15.
The Taliban have been insisting since they came to power that women will be able to return to their jobs or schools in the future, pending a framework within the limits of the strict Islamic code.
For now, the Taliban have only allowed girls to get education up to the primary level and permitted women to work in the health sector.
Women across the country, especially in Kabul, have organized several protests demanding rights.
Amnesty International, in a statement last week, said it was "astonishing" that women were being barred from public life in Afghanistan "at a time the country is facing an economic and humanitarian crisis."
"We urge the Taliban to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of women and girls. We call on the international community to engage directly with Afghan women to understand their reality, listen to their pragmatic recommendations, and work with them to support women's rights," the Amnesty statement said.

To administer sedation in the office, an oral surgeon must have completed at least three months of hospital based anesthesia training. Qualified applicants will then undergo an in office evaluation by a state dental board appointed examiner. The examiner observes an actual surgical procedure during which general anesthesia is administered to the patient. The examiner also inspects all monitoring devices and emergency equipment and tests the doctor and the surgical staff on anesthesia related emergencies. If the examiner reports successful completion of the evaluation process, the state dental board will issue the doctor a license to perform general anesthesia. The license is renewable every two years if the doctor maintains the required amount of continuing education units related to anesthesia.
During a surgery performed with local anesthesia, the patient remains totally conscious throughout the procedure. A local anesthetic (e.g. lidocaine) is administered in the area where the surgery is to be performed. Local anesthetic is used in conjunction with the other methods of anesthesia in all oral surgery procedures.


Here we aim to help you blur the line between your time on and off the meditation cushion. I'm Barry, the author of The Practical Buddhist and creator of the Zen-Journal Task Management System. My mission is to create a worldwide movement of awakened individuals better able to change the world.
Each of us can change the world by spending time on the cushion or the yoga mat changing ourselves, but we can also carry our insights gained on the cushion or mat to our place of business and everywhere we go.
My aim is to help you blur the line between your work life and your life's work.
Noble Truth #1: Life is characterized by a basic sense of dissatisfaction; like a cart with one wheel out of kilter.
Some refer to this as suffering. But you don't always suffer in the classic sense, do you? A better, more apt translation of duhkah, the Sanskrit word most often translated as suffering, is 'out of kilter.' Here's an effective way to relate to duhkah.
Imagine you're riding in a wooden-wheeled cart with one of the wheels slightly out of true. You're getting where you want to go, but not without a regular and uncomfortable wobble produced by the wheel that's out of true. Although it might be interesting or slightly amusing at first, you'd soon grow tired of the repetitive up-down-wiggle, up-down-wiggle, up-down-wiggle.
Am I holding the appropriate view given what I do and do not know?
Are the words I'm using appropriate?
Is the action I'm taking appropriate?
The eight-fold path is the fourth noble truth in action. It's the path we can traverse in order to face the present moment as it presents itself. The Buddha taught that there was no need to wait for some promised future life when everything was bliss; instead, he taught that we can experience moments of bliss each and every day by traversing the eight-fold path.
Yesterday I was reading my Kindle version of Lodro Rinzler's book, Walk Like a Buddha. I was reading a section where a reader had asked Lodro how to deal with her Ex who insisted that she wasn't a 'real Buddhist' because she didn't attend a Buddhist Temple or sangha.
In his response to this question, he first argued for not using a label at all, stating that the Buddha never called himself a Buddhist. Instead, the Buddha referred to himself as 'one who is awakened,' After stating his overall opinion about labels, he then listed seven things that every follower of the Buddha should have in their lives.
I read these and thought about them and present them below as they pertain to Practical Buddhism.
PS. If this interests you, please check out my book, The Practical Buddhist.


Teenage pregnancy can rob girls of their potential by ceasing their education and giving them adult responsibilities. An estimated 18 million adolescent girls give birth every year.
Ensuring girls' and young women realise their right to sexual and reproductive health and have control over their lives and bodies are critical to achieving gender equality.
We work with partners around the world to enable access to quality sexual health services, and eliminate harmful practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and child, early and forced marriage.
Everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, deserves equal access to opportunities and services and their safety should be protected.
Plan International believes that girls' bodies are their own and they must be empowered to make their own decisions about them.
We are committed to addressing the stigmas surrounding menstruation and supporting girls to manage their periods so they can feel confident and focus on their education.
Plan International is working in alliance with civil society organisations and governments to improve and expand sexual health services that respond to the needs of their young clients.
Lucky was married at 14. Now she is empowering girls to stay in school and become financially empowered - all while busting menstruation taboos!
These child marriage stories show how and why Plan International is working to prevent early marriage and reveal the effect our work is having on girls' lives.

Q: simple_html_dom issues with finding a specific class The following is my code:
<?php
include('simple_html_dom.php');

$rowdate;

$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file('http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php');

foreach($html->find('.calendar_row') as $e)
{

$date=$e->find('span.date');
if ($date[0] != "")
    {
    $rowdate=$date[0];
    }
$time=$e->find('.time');
$currency=$e->find('.currency');
$impact=$e->find('.impact');
$event=$e->find('.event');

echo $rowdate;echo ",";
echo $time[0];echo ",";
echo $currency[0];echo ",";
echo $impact[0];echo ",";
echo $event[0];
echo "<br>";

}

The above code works fine however $impact is not displayed at all while if you open the url in your browser directly and see the source code , we can see that the impact class is present within each calendar_row
Can anyone please guide me as to what I am doing wrong ?

A: Instead of:
$impact = $e->find('.impact');
echo $impact[0];

You want:

You should watch the video and note down how many times Bent E puts himself at risk when working at height. This might be because he is not using the right shielding, the correct securing equipment, or simply because he is behaving like an idiot.
Have a think about how he could avoid the hazards in the individual situations that you have observed.
Tell the rest of the team what you have noted down.


In a survey of 1,024 UK employees published in the One4all Rewards Review of UK Management whitepaper, financial services bosses – such as those in banking and insurance – took the top spot, with 62% of workers in this sector describing their boss as 'good' or 'excellent'. Management in the professional services industries, such as law and accountancy, were a close second, with 61% of workers describing their bosses this way.
Employers in the leisure and travel industry came third, with 3 in every 5 workers (60%) scoring their boss highly. Healthcare managers came in fourth, with 59% of workers in this sector describing their boss as 'good' or 'excellent.' And more than half of civil service workers rate their local and national Government bosses this way (58%).
Nationally, 56% of the UK workforce were positive about their bosses – and just 13% described them as 'poor' – suggesting that, overall, the British workforce has a high opinion of its managers. Management in the education sector (56%), administrative and support service (55%), retail (54%), trades (53%) and information communications (50%) followed in the remaining top five highest scored bosses in the UK.
Bosses looking to establish a better relationship with their employees should focus on improving their communication skills, which workers feel it is most important for their bosses to possess, with 78% of the vote. Being grateful and regularly giving thanks and showing appreciation for staff's efforts was also key for 65% of UK employees. While mucking in when times are tough or when things are busy would score brownie points with 62%.
Declan Byrne, managing director at One4all Rewards, commented: "Britain's bosses play an essential role in driving our economy forward, but even the most informed and experienced boss would struggle to maintain a successful, growing company without their work being underpinned by happy and hardworking staff who feel motivated and incentivised to perform for the business.
"It's interesting to see just how popular the UK's business leaders are, but there are a small number who are unfortunately not quite winning the loyalty of their staff – indeed, more than 1 in 10 (13%) go as far as to say their boss is 'poor' – so there is some work to be done by those in certain organisations.
Claire Dale, senior tutor at RADA in Business which coaches business professionals in acting techniques to improve their leadership and communications skills, comments: "Having outstanding communication skills is absolutely vital to be an effective leader.
Business professionals wanting to improve their communication skills should pay attention to a number of factors – effective communication is about much more than just what you say. It's also about how you say it, how you present yourself and how you tailor the message to your audience.

This is a fanfic by Dynovan. It is told by Disco, and is about his life, opinions and feelings.
Three four, three four! Sorry, guys, if I seem mad. I'm dancing, you see. It takes my mind off things. I'm allowed to - I am the god of partying! Well, I try to be when other things aren't on my mind.
There's an evil demon on the loose, who's out to destroy all. But how can I fight it? I know that when I do, all the people I love will pay the price. He's in control here, not me. He'll hurt my best friend, Calan. He'll hurt my... other best friend, Narissa. And above all, he'll hurt Rina, and how could I lose her? I can't. It's virtually impossible.
There's something I've been meaning to ask Rina. I'm syre you can guess what. But I worry that it's too early to ask. If I do ask her, thrn the pressure of Vorlon on all of us will disappear. No one can fight against a truly bonded god couple. Rina, Rina, Rina... those eyes, that hair, that heart-stopping smile - no wonder I got drawn in.
But then there's Narissa. If Rina hadn't come into my life, I think things would have been very, very different. It's obvious thst she likes me, and I liked her too, once. I still do now, but not in... that way. But I know that she's not gonna let Vorlon in. She'll probably throw a pie in his face.
I'm also worried about my friends. Calan knows Vorlon, and Vorlon knows Calan. No doubt Calan knows how to stop hoim. but he can't speak his name without being in considerable pain. Vorlon hurt him. And he'll do the same again, if I don't stop him.
But right now, none of that matters. I'm gonna keep dancing, and I'll face whatever comes at me. We all will. Because I'm Disco, the god of partying - and I'm dancing.
I hope you enjoyed that! Look out for more fanfics soon! Dyno out.

2013 Off-Season
Three-point shooting a big plus for Nets?
By Net Income Sep 21, 2013, 10:43am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Three-point shooting a big plus for Nets?
Howard Smith-USA TODAY Sports
The Nets lost their best three-point shooter last year in C.J. Watson (41 percent overall, 51.9 percent after the break) and replaced him with a player who hasn't made a three in three years, Shaun Livingston. But they did add two solid three point shooters in Jason Terry and Paul Pierce, who shot a combined 37.4 percent last season and rank No. 4 and 5 all-time in three pointers made.. No one is going to slack on those two guys.
They'll supplement Joe Johnson and Deron Williams. Johnson hit a respectable 37.5 percent from deep, tailing off a bit in the second half as his plantar fascitis worsened. On the other hand, Deron Williams shot better than 42 percent from deep after the All-Star break, setting the NBA record for three-pointers in a half vs.the Wizards. Like him, Pierce also shot better after the break, at 42.5 percent.
After that, unless Mirza Teletovic proves himself, the Nets don't have any "specialists" off the bench other than Terry. and Alan Anderson, who is spotty but can catch fire, going 6-of-11 in one game vs the Knicks, 6-of-8 in another. He's a career 34.9 percent shooter. Andrei Kirilenko will take some three's but his career average is less than 30 percent. Same is true of Kevin Garnett. With Andray Blatche playing more power forward, you might see him fire up some bombs, although his career numbers are worse at 22.4 per cent.
Then, there's Teletovic, he of the 30-foot Eurobasket bombs. Using him as a stretch four off the bench could give the Nets a weapon they didn't have last year and open things up for Brook Lopez, Garnett, etc.No doubt his confidence is up, but will that translate? As he played more minutes last season, he did improve, shooting 38.3 percent in March and April.
Still, with D-Will, Pierce, Terry and Johnson, the Nets could be one of the NBA's top three point shooting clubs. As Tim Bontemps points out, they were in the top 10 of three pointers attempted and made by 17th in overall shooting percentage. One more three per game, he notes, would have put them a lot higher and with this group, that shouldn't be too difficult.
Nets question of day: Who's hoisting 3-balls? - Tim Bontemps - New York Post

Dorothy noted that despite the amount of trash, there was about 1/3rd as much as the same time last year. Noted was the large amount of plastic and styrofoam, along with candy and cigar packaging, as well as, needles and things we won't mention.

Facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and decide to stand up for what's right.
Tuesday, November 27 HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal - Jordan
HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal via video taken by Amigos President Angela Rester while she and Dorothy Krupa attended the Opening Event of the Rotary Zone 20B Institute where over 28 countries came together. His keynote presentation spoke to issues of the Middle East and how one must work toward peace. Attendees then discussed what was said in his presentation with a unanimous feeling that this was an exceptional speech with meaningful information and thought provoking comments.
His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal believes that whatever detracts from human well-being must be questioned regardless of its effects on political order or economic growth.
His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal was born in Amman, Jordan on 20th March 1947, to a branch of the Hashemite family directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad, in the forty-second generation of descendants. His Royal Highness is the youngest son of Their late Majesties King Talal and Queen Zein El Sharaf, and is the brother of His late Majesty King Hussein.
Tuesday, November 27 Rotary Amigos Board of Director Meeting - Following regular meeting
Tuesday, November 13 - Service Project - Thanksgiving Boxes
Rotary Club of Milwaukee Amigos After Hours once again was asked to partner with the Rotary Club of Mitchell Field to successfully obtain names of families in need, pack the boxes for a full Thanksgiving Dinner based on the number of family attending, deliver the boxes to the home, and make it a special time for the family. Amigos Rotarians and family and friends were instrumental in underwriting the boxes for the families who's names we obtained through UMOS. UMOS has been our partner in this effort for nine years. Honorary Rotarian Bella Weyand has not missed a single year of participation since birth and we were glad to see she and her dad, Claus, at the event on Saturday. Former Rotarian Gustavo de Arriba and members of his family were amongst the group though Gustavo is now working and living in Denmark. This service project is one of our favorites and Carmen, UMOS employee, shared with President Angie Rester, she has already heard from one of the families this year that this dinner means so much to their family who would otherwise NOT be able to have this kind of a meal in their home.
* We delivered a total of 295 meals to 67 families and individuals

1 in 10 second hand cars for sale in Ireland has a false mileage displayed according to the largest study of its kind ever conducted. The figure is even worse for cars imported from the UK where nearly 1 in 5 has an unreliable or questionable mileage reading.
The study was carried out by Cartell.ie in co-operation with AA Ireland. Over 120,000 vehicles were checked on the Cartell.ie database, which is the most complete vehicle database in the country. Cartell.ie provides data searches and history checks, including for AA Ireland, and has full access to UK data, write-off data and other information for both jurisdictions.
The study examined a random sample of 60,047 vehicle history checks on Irish vehicles carried out recently by potential buyers. Of those checks 11.04% returned mileage discrepancies (6634/60047) – which would each require further investigation to establish if the vehicle had been "clocked" in a given case.
The supplementary study also examined a random sample of 13,026 imported vehicles (vehicles which currently display an Irish registration but previously had a UK or Northern Ireland plate) which displayed at least two mileage readings on the NMR and one entry in the last 12 months. This aspect of the study found that imported vehicles were significantly more likely to have been clocked, with 18.43 per cent of the imported cars assessed as having a mileage discrepancy.
In 2013 the Government reviewed the NCT mileages on 59,528 cars and found that 9.8 per cent of those returned lower mileages on a subsequent test – in other words returned a mileage discrepancy. Those vehicles would have all been at least 4 years old and this may have impacted on the result.
Clocking is a very serious issue and something that anyone looking at purchasing a second hand car, whether in Ireland or from the UK, needs to watch out for.
Repairing damage associated with car clocking can be very expensive and it's also more likely that someone who owns a clocked car will experience a breakdown.
Clocking is now a criminal offence in the Republic of Ireland pursuant to section 14 of the Road Traffic Act 2014. Cartell had long campaigned for the introduction of such an offence. In 2010, Cartell presented to the Dáil draft legislation which sought to criminalise the practice. That legislation was initially rejected by the Government but a modified version of it was subsequently moved as a Private Members Bill in December 2012. The then Government then decided to move on the issue.

Biografia
Artista poliedrico, il Folchi nacque pittore, allievo di Romeo Musa. Agli inizi del '900 aderisce al Futurblocco e partecipa alla "Prima Mostra Nazionale di Arte Futurista" organizzata dal Marinetti, a Roma nel 1933. Fu promotore di numerose esposizioni cui parteciparono importanti artisti molisani e nazionali, tra cui Trivisonno e Guttuso.

Abbracciata la fotografia, e scoperta la passione per il cinema, il Folchi, è stato autore di numerosi cortometraggi e documentari girati in Molise, oggi testimonianza, dal valore inestimabile, della storia della sua terra e dei paesaggi rurali a lui cari. Tra i documentari più conosciuti spiccano quelli dedicati alle tradizioni e festività molisane: "I Misteri", dedicato al Corpus Domini e alla parata dei 12 ingegni di Paolo Saverio Di Zinno; "San Basso" documentario sulla festività celebrata a Termoli; "La Carrese", corsa dei cari tipica di Ururi; e "San Pardo" festa in onore del Santo patrono di Larino.

Attraverso il "Cinegruppo" fondato da Edmondo Pasquale e Ennio De Felice, il poliedrico artista entra in contatto con esponenti del Cinema italiano dell'epoca e si trasferisce a Roma dove per anni frequenta assiduamente gli ambienti di Cinecittà, stringendo amicizia, tra gli altri, con Gillo Pontecorvo, Pietro Germi e Ettore Scola. Nel 1952 è sceneggiatore ed assistente alla regia del film Il prezzo dell'onore diretto da Ferdinando Baldi, con Maria Frau e Vincenzo Musolino, primo film girato interamente in Molise.

Il film segna anche il precoce addio alla cinepresa del Folchi, per dedicarsi alla famiglia e ai suoi 4 figli. Tuttavia gli anni successivi non sono meno ricchi di ispirazione artistica che trova espressione nella xilografia, a ulteriore testimonianza della versatilità dell'artista, oltre chiaramente che nella pittura.

Una banale caduta sulla neve fu causa dell'ictus emorragico che lo portò alla morte nell'inverno del 1962.

New Music Releases – September 2015
Jamie McCarthy / Jason Merritt / Bob Levey, Getty Images
Now that have a new Dr. Dre album for our listening pleasure, what could September possibly do to top August? The answer: Not that much. Although there are no album releases of the Dr. Dre caliber, there are still a few to take note of as we roll into the autumn months.
The big one this time is Mac Miller. He's arguably the most improved rapper of the past five years, growing from fresh-faced party boy raps to respectable experimentation. The next step for the Pittsburgh native is GO:OD AM, his third album. The unconventional title suggests that he's still going the experimental route. Besides "100 Grandkids" and "Break the Law," the full track list and features haven't be revealed, but it looks like the Sept. 18 release date should hold.
R. Kelly also has a new album coming out. After going the R-rated with 2013's White Panties, the veteran singer is looking to keep the output flowing with Buffet. The project gets its title from R. Kelly's desire to appeal to his wide, generations-spanning fan base. Buffet drops Sept. 25.
Hip-hop dominates the month and along with that comes some shaky release dates from a few rappers whose albums have been oft-delayed. Ty Dolla $ign's Free TC should arrive, but that album has been pushed back several times. Young Thug's Hy!£UN35 is scheduled for a Sept. 24 release, but that sounds like more of an ETA than a fixed date when he announced it. Travi$ Scott's Rodeo also falls in this category, though his fans are certainly prepared to scoop it up any day it drops.
We're entering the final stretch of what's been a great year for hip-hop. Check out what's to come in September below.

India successfully conducts flight test of unmanned scramjet demonstration aircraft
The trial was carried out by the Defence Research and Development Organisation from Dr Abdul Kalam Island in the Bay of Bengal.
Balasore: India successfully conducted the maiden flight test of its indigenously developed unmanned scramjet demonstration aircraft for hypersonic speed flight from a base off Odisha coast on Wednesday, defence sources said.
The aircraft forms an important component of the country's ambitious programme for development of a hypersonic cruise missile system, they said.
The trial was carried out by the Defence Research and Development Organisation from Dr Abdul Kalam Island in the Bay of Bengal at about 11.25 am, DRDO sources said.
"The new technology was tested. Date generated by radars showed that the trial was a success," they said.

Sydney Sixers BBL ace Josh Philippe 'a phenomenal talent', says Josh Hazlewood
By Adrian Warren
Emerging Sydney Sixers batsman Josh Philippe has been rated a phenomenal talent capable of playing at international level by teammate and established Australian representative Josh Hazlewood.
Both men were prominent in the Sixers' seven-wicket win over Adelaide Strikers at Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast on Sunday evening.
Opener Philippe paced the Sixers pursuit of 177 perfectly, scoring an unbeaten 83 off 52 balls.
Hazlewood, playing his first game since injuring a hamstring in mid-December in the first Test against New Zealand, was far and away the most economical bowler in the game.
He conceded just 18 runs off his four overs and grabbed a crucial wicket when he uprooted the leg stump of fast scoring Australia ODI and T20 representative Alex Carey.

Hazlewood was impressed by 22-year-old West Australian Philippe who is in his first season with the Sixers after playing the last two BBL campaigns with Perth Scorchers.
He scored an unbeaten 81 in the Sixers' first game, an eight-wicket win over the Scorchers, and has amassed 256 runs at an average of 51.20,
Wicketkeeper Philippe has the highest run aggregate and average of any Sixer and is the only player on the team to score half-centuries this season.
"I haven't spent a lot of time with Flip (Philippe), but yeah class act," Hazlewood said.
'He's learning every game and I think the way he batted today, it was all go.
"He ran hard, the ones and twos and he knocked it around when he had to, and the had the big shots, as we know he has.
"But he's a phenomenal talent I think he's going to get better and better."
Asked if Philippe possessed the traits to graduate to international level, Hazlewood said: "absolutely, obviously keep dominating this level as he is this year.
"He's certainly got the talent to go to the next level and I hope he does."
Hazlewood, who on Sunday played his first BBL game in almost six years, will again turn out against the Strikers at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday, before joining the Australian team for their three-match ODI series against India in that country later this month .
The Sixers remain second while the Strikers dropped a spot to fourth.
