Q: make circles change color before they disappear I'm making a game where you jump on rocks and if you jump on the rock which is covered by water, you lose. I made rocks disappear but now I'm want to make some kind of "warning" when the rock will disappear. I thought I could make something like this:
if(now >= currentTime[ i ] + 1500) {
     //set color to ex. green
    //fill oval
}

Could you help me achieve that?
Thanks in advance!

A: Similar to the comment I left above regarding using the Swing timer and the EDT for all rendering, you can use javax.swing.Timer to flash your rocks and make them disappear, like
long stoneWarningTime = ...;
long stoneDisappearTime = stoneWarningTime + ...;

 ActionListener taskPerformer = new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
          //...Perform a task...
      }
  };
  new Timer(stoneWarningTime, taskPerformer).start();

I want to pay my respects to Whitney Houston before I begin this week's recaps. Her voice was the soundtrack of my middle school and high school crushes, relationships, and proms. In recent years she was known more for her personal problems than for her tremendous success as a singer and that was sad. I never stopped rooting for her. I read in this month's Essensce magazine that she was working on the remake of Sparkle. She looked fantastic in the accompanying photo. I was so happy for her. Now she has died suddenly. There will never be another Whitney.
Marlie turns 2.5 years old this week and but I didn't feel like celebrating at first. For one, this week is also the one year anniversary of the miscarriage I suffered last year. Secondly, I have not been feeling so hot. Have you ever been so tired that you can't see straight? Have you ever been so stressed that ever muscle in your neck and shoulder is a knot? That's what the past four months have been like for me. Between keeping a house tidy for showings, hosting my MIL for three weeks, running down to Miami to see my brother, and taking care of Marlie alone for a week all while carrying a growing life inside me...let's just say I was running on fumes. So I took action. I checked into a hotel by myself on Friday and did not come home until today. It was a little daunting at first. I had never been away from Marlie overnight...ever. But I pushed myself to take this break. I slept soundly for two straight nights and napped for three hours Saturday afternoon! I feel refreshed and recharged.
Now I have the energy to keep up with Marlie, at least for this week anyway. I have been shopping around for a baby doll for her 2.5 year/Valentine's Day gift. She seems like such a kid to me now, no longer a baby or a toddler. She talks SO MUCH and gets into SO MUCH TROUBLE! But I wouldn't change her for anything. My phone was acting wonky all week and wouldn't hold a charge. Then Marlie dropped it and it's been fine ever since. How many parents can say their kids fixed their phone by dropping it?!
The Walking Dead returns tonight! It also airs the same time as Downton Abbey. What is a girl to do? Last Sunday, I watched Dowton Abbey instead of the Super Bowl, so maybe I've already made up my mind. I can watch the rerun of the other show On Demand.
Completely agree about Whitney. I woke up this morning and it just doesn't seem real. . . I hope you're able to take it easy this week and find some relief and reflection with everything that's been going on. Marlie sounds like so much fun - it's hard to get mad when they're SO cute, right? And about Downton Abbey I had to catch it on demand the day after but tonight's 2 hour special vs. the Grammy's is a hard one so on demand again it will be. Same for Walking Dead (LOVE that show!).
I'm really sad about Whitney. Her daughter is in my prayers most of all.
I loved that she fixed your phone by dropping it! I think it was a great idea to get recharged for awhile. You can't keep up with all those demands on you without feeling the strain.
It is very sad about Whitney. What a beautiful and talented woman.
So glad that you had a chance to get some real rest. 2.5 years is way too long to go without some solo downtime!
Whitney. Sigh. From what I've read, the Sparkle remake is complete and in editing and I look forward to seeing it. I loved the original even though it was kind of cheesy 70s by the time I watched it. My college roomate actually had the same name as the main character, ha!
I can watch Season 1 of Downton Abbey on my Kindle Fire for free. I am excited because I've heard great things. I didn't realize until I started streaming that it was not "Downtown" Abbey. Duh!
LOL on the phone! Glad you caught up on some sleep! I forgot that you've been showing your house all this time. I hate showing a house. We'll probably never move again just so I don't have to keep the house in "show" condition.

Contrary to what most parents might think, there's a lot more to school than homework, tests, and essays. School is a place to make friends, develop social skills, and spark new interests. One of the best ways to achieve this is by getting involved in extracurricular activities.
A great way for students to de-stress after a long school day is by joining teammates on the football field or fellow thespians in the school auditorium. Sports keep kids fit and energized, and drama can provide a student with valuable leadership roles.
Team-based after school activities also create a sense of camaraderie, which can help students break out of their normal social circles and make new friends. These new opportunities for social interaction keep kids learning and productive, all while having fun.
While pursuing an extracurricular that fits their interests, students should also take the opportunity to explore new ideas. Developing the courage to break out of their comfort zone builds character and is as much an indicator of future success as a high GPA or perfect test scores.
Odds are your child's school hosts a number of nontraditional extracurriculars. Encourage them to try the debate team, Mathletes, star-gazing groups, or one of our favorites, an outdoor cooking club.
As school life is increasingly demanding, extracurriculars provide a much needed moment of mental clarity during a student's day. Dedicating time to a variety of extracurriculars is also the hallmark a well-rounded student – not to mention it looks great on a college resume. Most significantly, your child will learn valuable life lessons that simply can't be taught in a traditional classroom setting.


Powertron Global offers PermaFrost NMR™ Refrigeration Solutions in synthetic and non-synthetic formulations. PermaFrost Nucleo Molecular Regenerative (NMR) technology was designed to improve the performance for any A/C, refrigeration system, or heat pump without modification or alterations. The NMR technology uses nanotechnology to increase SEER, COP, and Delta T through thermo-conductive metal enhancement.
The PermaFrost solutions are designed to remove heat from the metal surface, accelerate refrigerant flow, increase thermo-conductivity and transfer heat more efficiently throughout the equipment. PermaFrost's NMR sophisticated molecular composition passivates and stabilizes all metal components throughout the system, allowing the refrigerant to absorb and dissipate heat at an accelerated rate.
PermaFrost NMR allows the unit to achieve set temperatures faster while drawing less energy, allowing the compressor, condenser and evaporator to perform at their utmost design efficiency. Installation does not require any down time of the HVAC equipment.
In addition, PermaFrost NMR also contains anti-humectants, acid scavengers, and seal/bearing conditioners. Anti-humectants and acid scavengers help neutralize moisture and help prevent acid chain reactions. Seal conditioners swell the seals extending their life and tighten the system. Bearing conditioners lubricate and dissipate heat faster, preserving the metal surface.
Proof-of-Concept: PTS will measure various performance metrics for a DX CRAC or chiller system at the customer premise. We will then install PermaFrost NMR on a single DX or chiller machine, measure these parameters again, and provide a report on the results as well as provide a Return on Investment (ROI) calculation for the entire project considering material costs, installation, and maintenance requirements.
Solution Deployment: Install PermaFrost on all requested systems without the before and after validation measurements.

The NYWSC carries out multidisciplinary science activities across the State's diverse coastal waters and landscapes on the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes, including the many interconnected waterways, the barrier beaches that form and erode continually, the open waterways that are prone to the effects of major storms and hurricanes, and upland surface-water and groundwater source areas. These areas are also some of the most productive ecosystems in the State and host most of the population and economic development of the State. As a result, the interplay of environmental- and human-health concerns is a prominent thread that connects much of the coastal science activities of the USGS and involves cooperation not only among science disciplines but also across the Nation and internationally. Major topics of study include nearshore environmental health (ecosystem health and water and sediment quality), beach and barrier dynamics, tide and wave hydrodynamics, wetlands, climate and land-use change, and flood hazards.
USGS monitoring data for estuary and coastal-ocean sites in the southeastern New York region and links to related projects with more information about coastal flood hazards, water quality, and other topics.
Because saltwater has a greater density than freshwater, fresh groundwater in coastal aquifers will overlie any saltwater that is present in the aquifer at depth (Figure 14).


Islamiat Mcqs For NTS Test With Answers is the only way to prepare for the National Testing Service in Pakistan. It is important to mention here that NTS has the composed way to conduct tests. National testing system in Pakistan is always in the form of multiple choice questions. Most of the students think about MCQs and the way to solve them as easy as narrative. Only chunks of students consider such way of islamiat mcqs for nts test with answers difficult. They think so because for complete preparation of NTS test questions it is necessary to go through all syllabuses. The traditional way of teaching at educators' level and traditional way of learning at student's level consider the narrative form as easy approach then MCQs form of questions.
These admission, jobs, recruitment and tests are conducted by the NTS authority. The MCQ is the only way to get transparency in education sector. For example, the only parameter of success in MCqs type of questions is the practice.
Students with much practice of MCqs at home more likely to pass the test as compare to those who restrict themselves about the test application. First write down Islamiat mcqs for NTS test and assume answer to judge it. It is the only way to prepare and practice. Therefore, for the ease of students, now we are providing Islamiat Mcqs For NTS Test With Answers to cut short time of test preparation.
It is the duty of those students who wants to appear in Islamiat by preparing for the NTS test. National Testing System has wide range of implementation. For example, test makes students eligible for the admission in pakistani universities, to get scholarship in pakistani university, internship test question in the form of Mcqs, recruitment tests by the NTS authority and finally the promotion jobs for the NTS.

Block 5 is now completed the pouring of the garage slabs, and is in the process of leveling the grade of the rear garage. The next steps for our construction crews will be to start electrical, construct the concrete swale and start the insulating of the units.
Block 6 has completed the pouring of the garage foundations, and is in the midst of installing the rough-ins for this building. The next steps will be to start exterior insulation, and begin inspections.
At this point, your home is staked out and the land is prepared for construction. Excavation is completed at this time (the removal of topsoil for construction), and concrete slabs, which will support the foundation walls, are formed and poured. Utilities like water, electricity, telephone and cable might be brought in as well.
The walls for the foundation will be erected, insulated and damp-proofed. Weeping tiles are installed, which drain ground moisture away from the home. A municipal inspection will be completed before the perimeter is filled as well.
At this phase of the development, exterior walls are framed and covered in exterior sheathing. The framework is actually built on the floor, one wall at a time, and then lifted into place. Roof trusses will also be brought in at this time, and installed as quickly as possible to prevent accidental damage as work progresses on the lower areas of the home.
The windows and doors will be installed, as well as the basement floor. Rough-ins are completed for electrical and plumbing services and the ductwork for HVAC is also installed.
The key to the next couple phases of construction is proper scheduling, as a great deal of work happens during this time period. At this point, insulation of the exterior walls and roof will be done, with a vapour barrier applied (to keep out moisture). Another municipal inspection will be completed as well, and then drywall will be installed.
The heating and cooling systems, including fireplaces, will be installed at this point. The walls and ceilings of the home are painted, flooring is laid and the bathroom cabinets are installed. Final interior touches are completed: plumbing and electrical finishes are installed, trim is applied and doors are hung.
The exteriors are finished at this phase as well; siding is applied, eavestroughing is installed and porches/decks are built. The final lot grading will be complete, and the driveway and walkways will be poured.
At this stage, finishing touches and clean-up will be done. With Genesis, you'll do a walk-through of your home, which is perhaps the most exciting part, since you'll get to see it for the first time. This is your opportunity to get anything fixed up or sorted out before you take possession.
Approximately 35 days prior to possession, you'll receive a possession letter and you'll have a short to-do list before move-in day. On the date of possession, you'll be handed the keys—the home is now yours!

CC TEAM DOCS
PARENT ACTION
Helping Healthy Happen Where We Live & Learn
A Registered 501c3 Organization
Real Food For Kids advocates for healthful choices for children in schools by working collaboratively with school administrations and school boards. From breakfast to after school activities, students have many opportunities to eat at school and RFFK works to ensure children have access to healthful food throughout the day.
Parent Action Teams
Salad Bars
Lunch Room Collective
Healthy Concessions
Active commitment by parents and students in our school communities is key to affecting change. We're continually forming new Parent Action Teams throughout the region to identify needs and initiate action on the local level as well as contribute to our core mission – improving school food so our kids can thrive academically, physically and emotionally now and in the years to come.
In Fairfax County, VA Real Food For Kids worked with the Fairfax County School Board on a project to assess the state of the Food and Nutrition department. As a result, a salad bar pilot was run in an FCPS high school, students became engaged in the project, and the program will be implemented county-wide – all schools will have Fruit and Vegetable Zones.
The Lunch Room Collective of the Greater Washington D.C. area is dedicated to raising the profile of and conversation around school meals as a catalyst for change in public health. In collaboration with school partners, the Collective will advance programs and policies leading to a systematic change in the way we feed students.
If we want our kids to play their best, our concession stands need to provide foods and drinks that will fuel their bodies. By offering better foods in our concession stands, we win in so many ways - athletes get the energy they need to start and end strong; and spectators, parents, and siblings can enjoy a nutritious meal while cheering on their athlete and team, and teams can make money!
Better Ingredients
Wellness Committees
Soda Pilot
One of the first projects for Real Food For Kids was to address harmful and unnecessary ingredients in school food. Working with the Food and Nutrition Services Department in Fairfax County, Virginia, these efforts resulted in the removal of over 90% of the harmful artificial additives from the school food menu.
Real Food For Kids advocates for school gardens and provides information to schools who want to create a garden for their students. RFFK partners with Arcadia Farm and local farmers to provide resources to schools.
Real Food For Kids has worked to improve the Wellness Policy in Fairfax County Schools and provides support for school districts who would like to do the same.
A successful soda pilot in Fairfax County Public Schools resulted in the removal of regular soda from student access in all schools before, during and after the school day.
Real Food For Kids is committed to working in collaboration with our partners to increase the quantities of healthful foods in our school systems, developing and delivering programs that educate our students and their families on making healthier lifestyle choices, and ensuring access to real whole foods for all school children.

Boesch book a classic
Posted by Greg Oliver | Mar 28, 2002
In many ways, famed Houston promoter Paul Boesch is responsible for two great wrestling books. There's his autobiography, Hey Boy! Where'd You Get Them Ears? 55 Years in Pro Wrestling, which he wrote in 1988 and was recently published by his widow Valerie Boesch. It's a book that should be essential reading for anyone interested in how wrestling developed over the years.
But Boesch is equally responsible for 1974's terrific Whatever Happened to Gorgeous George? Author Joe Jares quotes Boesch throughout and credits him for being so open and accommodating during his research. Jares sees through Boesch, knowing at once that the man had seen it all and that any promoter needs more than a little huckster in them to succeed.
In the chapter "Carnival Impresarios", Boesch tells Jares that he was responsible for the cage match. "I begin to suspect that this charming man has a bit of Irish blarney in him, a compulsion to claim his adopted state started or invented everything from the cotton gin to the flying mare," Jares writes. "But, on second thought, Texas wrestling is just wild and nutty enough that it is possible he's not kidding me."
And we're not kidding you when we say that Hey Boy! Where'd you get them ears? is a hefty tome, coming in at almost 400 pages. But when a career in wrestling lasts 55 years, then there is lots to tell.
Boesch is initially more interested in documenting the origins of pro wrestling and celebrating the early stars like Farmer Burns, Frank Gotch and Ed 'Strangler' Lewis. It is a slow start to his story, but the reward is there for the hearty reader who makes it through.
Once Boesch starts talking about his own in-ring career, which began in 1932 in New York, you'll be sucked right in. We're there as he starts wrestling, as he travels the world, as he serves his country in World War II, as his career in-ring is ended and he winds up being one of the first TV announcers of pro wrestling. Later, he falls into promoting.
The New York City-born Boesch promoted first in the Pacific Northwest while still a wrestler, then later took over Houston when Morris Sigel died. He had been the publicity and announcer for the Houston promotion, and moved into the lead role easily. Boesch operated as an independent promoter for decades until aligning with Bill Watts' UWF and finally the WWF. His take on the demise of the UWF and of the rise / invasion of the WWF is a true insider's perspective.
Be warned, however. It is a product of the times and adheres to kayfabe. Wrestlers really did fight in the spirit of competition and everything was on the up-and-up in the quaint days before Vince McMahon exposed the business.
Houston was the scene for Jack Brisco's NWA World title win over Harley Race in 1973, and Boesch took the time to crow. "The changing of a world's heavyweight title is the ultimate goal for any promoter. To have it happen under his jurisdiction is proof that his matchmaking skills and his assessment of talent justifies his position as a promoter and an authority on the state of the art in wrestling. … I knew the pride of having guessed right … I had crowned a new champion. Now, all I had to do was find someone who could beat Brisco and do it again."
I loved that Boesch took the time to tell what it was like to travel to and from New Zealand or Hawaii, and what the exotic locations were like. He tells of the fans, the climate, the opponents. The excitement and thrill that he feels going to new places is obvious. His perspective returning to the same locales after the War are even more enlightening and one can hear his heart ache for the way things used to be.
In many ways, the book reads like a letter to friends, a cherished family journal that is at once both serious and jovial, light-hearted and sad. Boesch finished the book in 1988, a year after he stopped promoting in Houston and a year before he died. He had been working on it off and on for 20 years. Though finished in 1988, it was never published. Instead, manuscripts made their way around to various friends and family.
Valerie Boesch, his second wife, had the book self-published in Houston. That's important to note because Hey Boy! Where'd You Get Them Ears? is not a polished, slick publication the way that many of today's wrestling books are. There are only a few photos, and more than a couple typos slipped through. A good editor could have chopped and molded the autobiography into something more commercial, but then it would have lost all of its charm.
Any self-respecting fan of pro wrestling should have Hey Boy! Where'd You Get Them Ears? on their bookshelf. I know mine is starting to get dog-eared already.

This week we've spent a lot of time preparing a quarterly report for our financial supporters. Given the location of many of our workers, security is a major consideration and we are extremely cautious about disseminating information that might compromise their identity and work. So while we have multiple technological outlets (e-newsletters, social media, blogs, etc.) to inform the general public about our work - we go old school snail mail to the select few who's investment allows them a more intimate look into the inner works of our global organization.

VERSE OF THE WEEK: Romans 5:6
"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."
COUNTRY OF THE WEEK: Libya
The Italians supplanted the Ottoman Turks in the area around Tripoli in 1911 and did not relinquish their hold until 1943 when defeated in World War II. Libya then passed to UN administration and achieved independence in 1951. Following a 1969 military coup, Col. Muammar al-QADHAFI assumed leadership and began to espouse his political system at home, which was a combination of socialism and Islam. During the 1970s, QADHAFI used oil revenues to promote his ideology outside Libya, supporting subversive and terrorist activities that included the downing of two airliners - one over Scotland, another in Northern Africa - and a discotheque bombing in Berlin. UN sanctions in 1992 isolated QADHAFI politically and economically following the attacks; sanctions were lifted in 2003 following Libyan acceptance of responsibility for the bombings and agreement to claimant compensation. QADHAFI also agreed to end Libya's program to develop weapons of mass destruction, and he made significant strides in normalizing relations with Western nations. Unrest that began in several Middle Eastern and North African countries in late 2010 erupted in Libyan cities in early 2011. QADHAFI's brutal crackdown on protesters spawned a civil war that triggered UN authorization of air and naval intervention by the international community. After months of seesaw fighting between government and opposition forces, the QADHAFI regime was toppled in mid-2011 and replaced by a transitional government. Libya in 2012 formed a new parliament and elected a new prime minister. (CIA World Factbook)
