It's been almost a decade since Family Guy started an Emmy campaign tradition with its tongue-and-cheek mailers that urge TV Academy members to vote for the animated comedy series via some not-so-subtle messages. Over the years, Family Guy's designated Emmy pitchman, Peter Griffin, as well as Stewie have channeled anyone from Barack Obama and Donald Trump to Kellyanne Conway, Gov. Chris Christie and the girl from Precious in the 2010 mailer that declared "Vote For Us Or You're Racist."
This year, the mailer took on the Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey scandals, referring to a scene on the show about Spacey and a comment made by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane about Weinsetin — both years before the sexual harassment scandals involving the Hollywood heavyweights hit last fall. "We predicted Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weisntein. Open DVD to see who's next," Peter says on the cover of the mailer which has a mirror inside.

While Family Guy had been a staple in the animated Emmy categories between 2000 and 2008 with a slew of nominations, including four for best animated program, the show in 2009 made the bold decision to take itself out of consideration in the top animated category and compete in the comedy series field instead. It paid off at first — in 2009 Family Guy became the only animated show besides The Flintstones to land a best comedy series nomination. It is the last best program nom for Family Guy which eventually switched back to animation consideration but has not been able to get any noms beyond voice-over categories for the past six years.
In an interview with Deadline, Family Guy showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin talk about the recent Emmy drought, Family Guy's blunt mailers and accurate predictions, breaking the form this past season and what is store for the upcoming 17th season, including an episode that pays tribute to the late Adam West and a spoof of Fatal Attraction.
DEADLINE: The provocative Emmy mailers. How did that tradition start?
Alec Sulkin: I think when we first started doing it, Seth was a little more hands-on and involved in the process. So, when it started, it had to have his stamp of approval, so it had to be pretty edgy and funny, and I think we knew that it was a really good opportunity to send out a single joke with a visual image, and that's kind of what we do all day long anyway. So it just was a logical extension of what we already do, and it was very fun to see that people enjoyed and responded to it.
Rich Appel: And in the years I've been a part of it, there's a self-awareness that, if you were raised at all right, there's something a little unseemly about begging for votes and advertising yourself and saying somehow you're better than others. So this is a way I think to make it not just about saying, oh, you know, give us something, as opposed to an opportunity…
Alec Sulkin: And it completely worked because we haven't gotten the vote.
Rich Appel: Yes, it seems that the comedy has completely outplayed the intention, but also, our entire ad and marketing budget is that single mailer, so we try to make it go as far as we can.
DEADLINE: This year's mailer tackled the Hollywood-centric and timely topic of sexual misconduct.
Rich Appel: Alec is too modest to say this, but this year's was Alec's idea, which I will claim credit for mutually liking. I supported it, but Alec can speak to it.
Alec Sulkin: It's funny that you said that because I don't even remember if it was my idea or not, and I don't want to take credit for it if it wasn't. I remember we were definitely in the room — as they say in Hamilton, in the room where it happened — and we were all pitching on some funny ideas, and obviously, the Harvey Weinstein story/#MeToo movement, which is much larger than just Harvey, if that's possible, was on our minds and was on everyone's mind. It was a Hollywood story, but it was also a national and international story. So we felt like we could step into that fray with something that was appropriately funny, but also kind of reminding everyone, you're not off the hook.
DEADLINE: What has been the response from people in Hollywood who got the mailer? Did they look inside?
Rich Appel: We'd like to think that people all over town turned themselves in for inappropriate conduct, but I have not heard of anything.
Alec Sulkin: I only heard from Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, who both loved it… That's a joke.
DEADLINE: Let's talk about Family Guy's Emmy strategy. You took a big risk a few years ago switching from animation to best comedy series. The show got a nomination in that category and then a few years later you switched back. Why is that?
Rich Appel: When we switched, I think Seth — I don't necessarily want to speak for him, but here I go — I think Seth wanted to try at least to get animation recognized in what the industry obviously sees as TV's biggest night, and Seth is a lifelong animator himself. I think it had an extra weight with him, and so the show tried and was successful.
And then I think for at least a year or maybe two after, we remained as candidates for a nomination in that category, but what happens is, we have almost 100 artists in our building, and for them to be nominated for the Juried Award for the Emmys in things like storyboard, character design, color design, all of the animation awards, not to mention the voiceover awards, which is the only way our actors get recognition, that's also in the animation category, and we just decided that it was a little too disjointed.
It seemed odd to be trying to submit all of our artists in 4 or 5 categories for animation, our actors in animation categories, and somehow not our program in the animated category. So we thought let's be consistent, and let's stay in the animation category regardless, frankly, of whether or not it's a successful strategy. It just felt like it kept us whole as a show, and so that's what we've been doing.
DEADLINE: Family Guy had a consistent Emmy presence before the switch to comedy series but things have been a little different since the show came back. It seems like, once you joined the the live-action comedy leagues, it's been hard for voters to accept you back as a purely animated contender?
Rich Appel: It's possible. A comedy brand is generally a really good thing, and it has been for Family Guy. But at the same time, and I think Seth would be the first to say this, sometimes brands are reductive, and to think you know a show because you know the thumbprint… Family Guy and a show like The Simpsons are unique on television because they've been around so long. Family Guy has been on the air almost 20 years, and Seth is the first person to push the show and to say, we've done this, and we've done that, and this tone has been established, and let's try to do new things each and every year.
So I think part of the challenge for a show like Family Guy that's been on the air so long is to keep it fresh and try to get the word out that, to just look at our last season, we did our 300th episode, which, on the one hand, obviously, 300 episodes, but it was a very emotionally capturing story between Brian and Stewie that was also really expansive.
Seth, when he first started Family Guy, by design, had the show sort of shot as if it were a multi-camera sitcom, that was part of its identity. As the show progressed, we did an episode this past season called Three Directors that Joe Vaux directed in the style of, one act Quentin Tarantino, one Wes Anderson, one Michael Bay; it's really a cinematic episode.
Also, I think Family Guy is the first animated show on Sunday night that Fox aired without commercial interruption, which is the episode with Stewie in therapy, and it's just Stewie and his shrink, played by Sir Ian McKellen.
To make that visually inventive when you're just basically in his therapy office is a real challenge that I think the artists pulled off, but again, I think if you ask somebody what's a typical Family Guy episode, they wouldn't describe that.
DEADLINE: Is this the season with the most creative risks the show has taken?
Rich Appel: I think another really great one where we did that was what we call Family Guy Through the Years that's directed by Julius Wu, and we claimed at the start that Family Guy had been on the air for 60 years, was the longest-running show in TV history, and here's an episode from three different decades, the '50s, '60s, and '70s, and again, each one of those acts was directed in a style of television shows or movies that would've aired in those decades. All new designs, backgrounds. Our characters were redesigned to fit the time period. So that was another one I think we tried something new.
And then there was a two-parter we did where Brian sends out a tweet that many people in town found offensive, and it leads him to basically being kicked out of the Griffin house. I salute Artie Johann, who wrote it, and our director Julius Wu; in the end of that episode, it's Brian as a lowly guy in a CVS store buying whatever his budget allows him, a few items to take home to his lonely guy apartment, and just sitting there basically listening to Wheel of Fortune in the neighbor's apartment on their TV because he doesn't have one, and it lands with a kind of poignancy, but it's also funny. Again, it's not what was the typical ending of a Family Guy episode a decade ago, and then the next part was how he finds his way back into the good graces of the town and the family, plus 100 jokes.
Alec Sulkin: I'm going to highlight the Kingsman scene in the episode where Brian sends the offensive tweet. There's a ripple effect. The kids, Chris and Meg get harassed in high school just for associating with Brian. I don't know if you saw the movie Kingsman, there's a great violent and awesome fight in a church, and so we do our version of that in the school cafeteria where they have to fight off everybody. It's a PC mob, we call it, but that scene was just so well animated by our team.
DEADLINE: Are you continuing to push the form next season? The three acts in three different styles has been a franchise for you. Is another one coming?
Alec Sulkin: Well, yeah, that three-act structure with different stories is something that we have done a few times over the years, often with very good results. We had Three Kings, which is three stories by Stephen King, that were each an act, we had the three directors that we just talked about, and for next season, we've been working on one which is three classic love stories.
Rich Appel: Yeah, from Helen of Troy to Romeo and Juliet, and then we say, and sometimes love doesn't work out, so we do Fatal Attraction, which will be part of our Valentine's Day episode. What could be more romantic than watching Fatal Attraction on Valentine's Day, or at least the Family Guy version of it? And we're doing one next season that I think also pushes the envelope. It's a DVD commentary episode where we have the cast just in voiceover watching the episode that the audience will be watching and doing their commentary about the making of that episode.
We have one story that's happening in the episode that they're commenting on, and then another story that just unwinds in the recording booth and voiceover when Lois discovers that Peter makes more money than she does, and the reason for that is that he's still paying alimony to Sarah Paulson — playing herself — who was his first wife. She was also in our universe as a guest star in the episode they're commenting on, and the director of that one, Greg Colton, spent a ton of time, because you have to adjust the volume of what story you're listening to, but the story on screen still has to make sense.
DEADLINE: Have you heard back from any directors whose styles you imitated in the three-act episodes? What did they think about your interpretation?
Rich Appel: I don't think we heard from them, but we did hear from Kingsman's Matthew Vaughn. He had seen that, and then invited the entire production team to the Fox lot to watch a sneak preview of the sequel, which many of us, myself included, did do, and that was really nice because, we hadn't sent it to him, but someone clearly had, and he contacted us and said that he loved it.
Alec Sulkin: And usually we only hear from people when they're very mad.
DEADLINE: Speaking of people being mad, are you planning more stunts with deaths — fake or real — of Family Guy characters? Brian's brief "passing" in 2013 made waves.
Alec Sulkin: I would say that that's always a possibility. I don't think that we have any immediate plans to kill off any of our main characters, but with our show, you never know. That's why people went so nuts over the Brian thing, because it felt very real, like it could happen. Of course we got it all back.
Rich Appel: Yes, and at the time, I remember that someone wrote a column in a big newspaper about how the Family Guy writers realized that it was a huge mistake from fan reaction, and two weeks later, they brought him back in an episode. I remember thinking, that's somebody who does not understand that we spend a year on each of these shows. So, luckily, fans missed him because we knew he was coming back. Brian, next year in the season premiere, he's going to get married, and that's a two-parter. So that's something — instead of killing off a character, we're bringing on a character, and we'll see what happens with that.
DEADLINE: Anything else you can reveal about storylines and guest stars next season?
Rich Appel: We're going to have a big episode which says a proper farewell to Adam West who obviously was a huge part of our town. He was the mayor, he played Mayor Adam West, and as a person and as a character, he was as original a comic voice as you could imagine and such a collaborative and sweet man, honestly. So we wanted to commemorate him, and there's a full episode about how we honor him and say goodbye to him. We also doing a Korean Olympics episode where we have Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir playing themselves, which I think will be fun. What else, Alec?
Alec Sulkin: Bryan Cranston is now a cast member on the go as Peter's new boss, which is very exciting for us; it's great to have such an amazing actor.
Rich Appel: Also, Mandy Moore is going to be in an episode playing Quagmire's teenage daughter that he did not know he had. So I guess we're giving birth to new characters. At least we're not killing them.
DEADLINE: Family Guy just crossed the 300th episode mark and did the episode that envisioned it as 60-year-old. How long do you see Family Guy going?
APPEL: Well, I personally would like to see the show staying around till my youngest child finishes college, and after that, you know what, I don't really care.
The thing that, honestly, Alec and I can't stress enough is, we get to speak on behalf of an incredible team. We have a writing staff, aged 30 to 60. we have 100 animators. I think we may be the only show — and certainly I think we're not only half-hour show, because The Simpsons no longer does this– to have a full orchestra of 60 musicians every week with our composer, Walter Murphy, that scores this show, and that's something I don't think we'll ever lose, because Seth's vision of this show is that it's a complete work, from the animation, to the performances, to the music, and it just gives it such a rich feel to have that capacity.
We've been lucky to have a studio that has the budget that we've got to have an orchestra like that, and I think, luckily, Seth's still a young man, and luckily, he enjoys doing the show. So I hope that, whether we are streamed on a Disney podcast or Comcast billboard, we'll still be making new episodes.
Alec Sulkin: I like the idea of a Comcast billboard. Let's start writing episodes for those.
DEADLINE: Speaking of the potential acquisition of Fox assets by Disney or Comcast, it seems like Family Guy is competing with The Simpsons in how many predictions they can make that come true. They had the one about Fox and Disney. What predictions have you made or are making next season that you feel may become reality?
Rich Appel: Well, we are going to have an episode of Family Guy trying desperately to win an Emmy, and they couldn't. We could even write an episode where Family Guy won an Emmy. Any other predictions we have, Alec?
Alec Sulkin: I feel like it's almost like that a stopped watch is right twice a day, where we throw a lot out there, and then when certain things come to pass, we seem like Nostradamus, because nobody's pointing out the 20 other ridiculous things we said that weren't even close to coming true. But yeah, I think they just happen organically in the moment, and the Kevin Spacey thing, we were probably almost 10 years ahead of that. So to say that we knew it, that seems a little… well, we didn't.
Rich Appel: In the Disney one in The Simpsons, they actually played that within an episode that I wrote. When (the merger news) came out and it went viral, I did get a couple of calls from journalists, and I had to shamefully admit that it wasn't in my original draft. It was pitched late at night around the table not by me but even at the time; you could see the way the wind was blowing that Disney was starting to eat everything in its path. So, just to reinforce what Alec says, you get lucky, and, especially if the show like The Simpsons has had 650 episodes and we've had 300, it's almost incompetent if you can't get a couple of things right.
But by the same token, I think that, what Family Guy does allow through parody is to take things that are in the air, and as long as you make them funny, you can get them out there, because we're not a documentary. We're a comedy, and so as to touch on subjects that might be considered off limits in other contexts, like Kevin Spacey or like Seth making a pointed impressionist joke about Harvey Weinstein when he announced the Oscar nominations.

My team didn't make it to the Bowl this year...again...but, I'll enjoy the game anyway. Speaking of "enjoying the game"...for the second time I'm back to the store for beer. It seems I just can't have beer sittin' around waiting for another day to drink it. I did, however, manage to stay out of the Baken-Ets.

I recently watched this reaction video of a guy in New Zealand watching NFL football hits. He did this because, well, as he explains in the video, he wanted to compare rugby hits to NFL hits, since he said that there was always a debate over which hits were rougher. Watching his reaction pretty much tells you what his conclusion was.☺

Whenever we played Sacred Heart (San Francisco)...we'd lose. Sacred Heart had "heart" and a great football coach. Most who played football there went on to play in college. I remember this one running back who played for Sacred Heart I could never catch. This guy ran like the wind. In one game he took a screen pass, didn't see me and I took him out on a blindside. I hit him so hard it knocked the wind out of both of us. I couldn't believe he held onto the ball.
The game was at Kezar Stadium (where the 49ers played) and after the game we'd all go (both teams) to the Park Bowl, the bowling alley on Haight Street, just east of Golden Gate Park for burgers and Coca~Cola. Sitting there, in a booth, with the cheerleaders draped around me...this guy walks up, asks me my name. I stand up, put out my hand and tell him my name. He says, "That's the hardest I've ever been hit." I smiled, told him, "Maybe you oughta run a little faster next time!" We laughed. Guy ended up as a second-round-pick running back for the 49ers and played pro from 1965 to 1974.

I live across the street from Kezar stadium, now thanks to a quake it is a smaller stadium and track, basically used by schools, trainers and the neighbor hood for health and exercise. A much better use than violent sports.

I'm all for contact sports, an x- wrestler in my youthful days, watching the video, I've never experienced such on-field violence in all my life. In my view, someone can certainly have life-threatening injuries with some of those tackles.
Buddy, that video was before they began to institute newer rules that are designed to protect the players more. Most of those hits you saw in the video, are no longer allowed. Most of those hard hits were on a player when he caught the football. Today, you can't do that, or you'll get penalized for hitting a defenseless receiver. The receiver has to catch the ball, then turn around and make a football move (I.E. start to run), then he can be hit, but you can't hit him with your helmet. Also, you can't grab the person who has the ball, by his helmet, neck or what's called a "horse collar tackle".
They also have what's called a "concussion protocol", where a player, if he hits the ground and his head hits the ground, or if he looks groggy after a play, they immediately take him off of the field and he goes into a tent where he's examined to see if he has a concussion. If they determine that he does have a concussion, he won't be allowed back in the game, and he has to sit out the next, upcoming game.
They are many changes that are now in place, in an attempt to stop all of the injuries that football players suffer.

Kit, one of the reasons that a lot of people like to watch sports, is because, they may have played that sport when they were young...maybe in junior high school, high school, or maybe just in the local park with some friends, but they were never good enough to play it professionally, or maybe that wasn't their passion. Watching it on TV or in person, the person knows what it feels like to play that sport, so they enjoy seeing how pro athletes play the game.
I played football in junior high school, as well as in the local park with friends. I also played baseball in the park with friends, and the fun we had, transferred into enjoying watching on TV, the pros go at it. There are so many little things that come into play in those sports, that it's enjoyable to see how well each team does those things.
I can tell from your comments in the past, that you are very good at your job in IT, so I wonder if you'd watch a TV show with someone who was extremely good in that field, showing tips and tricks that could be used in the IT field? Maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't, but watching people doing something that you enjoy or that you've experienced, makes it interesting to you....maybe not to someone else, but to anyone who has experience or interest in that field.☺

As I said Hammer I loved contact sports, was totally annoyed watching the video, when I saw what seems to me, some gruesome illegal tackling.
Thanks for clearing up some of the rules for me, a pleasure.

Polleverywhere is an electronic voting system (EVS) enabling academics to rapidly collect, display and evaluate student responses to questions posed during class. The use of EVS is seen as an effective way to enliven the traditional lecture format and deepen the learning that takes place.
Typically, the academic will use an EVS to create and display multiple choice questions to students via a web page or PowerPoint presentation. Students confirm their responses by interacting with their mobile phone or web-enabled device. The EVS receives the signals transmitted by the students' devices, computes them then displays the answers graphically, for example as a bar graph or pie chart. The results can be saved and transferred to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
There is a significant body of evidence that greater interaction in face-to-face teaching situations results in increased understanding of complex subject matter, as well as greater enthusiasm amongst students for learning. An EVS can, for example, be used to assess students' understanding at critical points during a lecture, and a well-designed question can facilitate peer discussion as well as highlight common misconceptions that can be addressed in class. Although such interactions are possible without using technology (for instance by asking for a show of hands) an EVS offers additional benefits such as the ability to respond anonymously, which can encourage wider student participation. The accuracy of results, the speed in which they are displayed, and the ability to produce reports are also beneficial for academics as well as students.
The University of Surrey provides access to Polleverywhere for any member of staff who would like to use EVS in their teaching.
Polleverywhere is a web hosted EVS, whereby students use their own mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, smartphone, tablet or laptop) to respond to questions. Answers are sent either as a text message to a UK based phone number (normal call charges apply) or by interacting with a web page or app using the internet. Questions can be presented and results displayed from the Polleverywhere website or from within a PowerPoint presentation. Polleverywhere allows for "free text" and "clickable image" type responses as well as the standard multiple choice option, so offering a wide range of educational applications.
You can run Polleverywhere from any computer connected to the internet by going to Polleverywhere.com and logging in with a user account. Polleverywhere questions can be also embedded and displayed from within a PowerPoint presentation (optional PowerPoint plugin is required).
Email TEL if you would like to use Polleverywhere in your teaching. Your name will be added to the university's Polleverywhere license and you will receive an email with instructions on how to setup your user account.
Further help is also available on the TEL Hub (staff login required) and the Polleverywhere help pages.


It's an expansion of a similar recall last month from Tris Pharma, which manufactured the medication for CVS, Walmart and Family Dollar stores.
WASHINGTON — A pharmaceutical company voluntarily recalled more bottles of infant ibuprofen this week over concerns they have an elevated concentration of the medicine.
It's an expansion of a similar recall in December from Tris Pharma, which manufactured the medication for CVS, Walmart and Family Dollar stores.
Some of the lots, the company said, "have been found to contain Ibuprofen as high as 10 percent above the specified limit." Safety for infants, they said, generally isn't a concern until concentrations exceed 700 percent of the recommended dose.

Any and all suggestions for a better garden are welcomed.
Without knowing what you have at present, nor your location, one can not give an intelligent response.----Water, seed, fertilizer, lime and a liberal application of Hoe.
Depending on how technical you want to get, you could pick up a cheapo soil tester kit to find out if it's lacking (PH is too much one way or the other). OR you can dump sterilized manure, miracle grow garden soil, and till it till the cows don't know the difference. I've got clay soil, still need to add more vermiculite and sand so it doesn't compact and harden. My sis 2 states away has sandy soil that won't hold water. She needs more humus and clay. Essentially we need to swap out 200 cubic yards of our respective yards & fedex is a bit costly lol.
Do you know what you want to plant?
Are you ambitious or would you rather stick with container gardening just now?
Another option some take are purchasing ready started plants and placing them in the ground. I've had good luck with bonnie plants (box stores and local feed seed stores carry them) which seem hearty enough stands to tolerate novice gardeners like myself.
Anything is possible. Some things are more impossible than others-- like growing lemons in Alaska, it could never yield the work you put into it because you're arguing with nature. Planting snap peas in july likely won't work out.
organic matter...composted plants, composted manure., very old sawdust or wood chips.
If you are lucky enough to find some rabbit manure you can use it right away.
Mulch with organic material...but add a little nitrogen fertilizer to aid in decomposition, to keep the mulch from stealing nutrients from your plants.
manure is great for softening clay soils.
If it is new ground don't expect too much the first year...build your soil.

Responses from Visitors, 2009
They used to sit out on the stairs and watch the parade go down the street. Every year never missing one. Now as the two siblings are older they still go out and sit on the stairs of their old house and watch as the parade goes by. This is a sort of renewal of friendship between the two, always enjoying the company of the other. They will always cherish and remember these times.
—Lola, Age: 15, Moses Lake Washington, May 15, 2009 at 8:58 AM
This image show a couple of young kids sitting on the steps in front of there house enjoying a hot summer day. Looking at all their surroundings. Victoria and Anthony have been friends since they before they could walk. They have been there for eachother whenever they needed someone to talk to about a problem in life. The image to the right shows Victoria and Anthony in there older years sitting on the same steeps looking back on their childhood memories and missing the good old days. A time when they didn't have a care in the world all there focus was just to have fun with friends.

In the image of the right are two young children pointing somewere like surprised ,and in the second one are the same persons but now they have grown and now the are like 40 years old and ther are pointing to the same way
—boy and girl, Age: 19, moses lake wa, May 1, 2009 at 2:04 PM
They sit on the stone steps. Her, pointing out something in the distance and him reminising. This scene from years ago when both were younger and she had been showing him something in the distance, pointing. They have been together this long, grown together, changed together and that bond holds strong, because some bonds can't be broken and no matter how far you go, you can always go back to where you started. Maybe as a different person but that is what makes the Hagin Family Album photographs so special. The pictures that capture those moments where past and present come together and show future.
—Pia, Age: 17, Washington, May 1, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Thelma was always responsible for her little brother. Her mother always had her looking after him, taking him along with her, and standing up for him through the tough times. Now looking back on the times that she once hated, she learns it brought them so close that it created a bond not even god himself could break. She was grateful for his company, love and assurance. However now instead of him walking in her footsteps, she lingered in his. Never far enough behind to fall apart...but always close enough to feel the warmth.
—CMS, Age: 17, Moses Lake WA, May 1, 2009 at 8:14 AM
This picture is a very interesting picture. It shows a little girl showing a little boy something in one picture, and in the next picture it shows the same picture but while the people are grown up. This to me shows the unconditional love that these people have for each other, whether its as brother and sister, or if it's as friends.
—mlhs11, Age: 15, Moses Lake, Wa, May 1, 2009 at 8:13 AM
I remember when me and my brother would sit on our front porch and listen to everything in the summer time, it was just like yesterday when we were sitting outside and listening to the birds when he told me that he wanted to go to war. I told him that you will be oa changed man when you come back from war, but he doesn't want to listen to me and he went to war at 15 and came back at 19 a changed man when one day after the war we sat on the porch he said you were right i have changed but i still love being with you on this porch.

- The players alternate in placing stones of their color on free intersections.
- The players aim to create five vertically, horizontally or diagonally connected stones of their color.
- Captures are obtained by surrounding pairs of an opponents' stones vertically, horizontally, or diagonally with stones of their own placed at the ends of the pair.
A player cannot "cause" the capture of his or her own stones by moving into a surrounded position.
- The player who first creates five or more connected stones or captures five or more of the opponent's pairs wins.
This double possibility of victory constitutes one of the attractions of the play.
The game is cool TBH, it's simple and tidy. And the concept is ok.
the screen just keeps flashing and does nothing.
soz,try to check it before u release it.


Ten foreigners charged with producing pornographic photos during a party near the Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple complex have denied any wrongdoing, a prosecutor said Monday.
Still there was "enough evidence to prove that they violated the law, and therefore, they must face charges," Siem Reap provincial court prosecutor Samrith Sokhon said.
Police said they raided a rented villa in Siem Reap on Thursday where the foreigners were taking part in what organizers called a pub crawl and found people "dancing pornographically." While almost 90 foreigners were detained, all but 10 were released.
A photo dated Jan. 25, 2018, issued by Cambodian National Police, shows a group of unidentified foreigners, who are accused of "dancing pornographically" at a party in Siem Reap town, near the country's famed Angkor Wat temple complex.
A Facebook page for Let's Get Wet parties in Siem Reap advertised what it billed as "Asia's biggest pool crawl." It also said every Thursday it offered "a whole day of partying in a Villa Mansion just out of town with hundreds of other backpackers" and featuring a DJ, barbeque and pool.

I have just installed Google Chrome and for some reason all the videos are not showing. I get full sound but just a black screen. If I hover over the screen I do get a small image of what's playing. Any help please. Thank you.
click here would recommend you try step 5 first.
WARNING with regards to step 1 , flash is now regarded as a high security risk so I have to say this to you , I am giving you this link to read but once you have read it you are responsible for what you do next..... I am only saying that so you don't give me any verbals if something goes wrong.
Maybe check the settings on Chrome and make sure Flash is switched on.That is only a guess but worth trying.
Adobe Flash will be completely phased out by the end of 2020. Both Chrome and Firefox block Flash plugins automatically, although you can reactivate on an individual case basis.
The BBC still supports Flash, but is also using HTML5. That will change soon, and Flash support will cease.
YouTube has already switched to HTML5.

National Profiles > Regions > Western Europe > Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein - Major World Religions2
Liechtenstein - Largest Religious Groups2
Liechtenstein Western Europe World
8.49% 16.86% 9.58%
Not Religious 7.22% 27.36% 12.1%
Muslim 5.71% 6.14% 22.98%
The country has an area of 61.7 square miles and a population of 35,400. According to the 2000 census, membership in religious denominations was as follows: 78.4 percent Roman Catholic; 8.3 percent Protestant; 4.8 percent Muslim; 1.1 percent Orthodox Christian; 0.1 percent Jewish; 0.4 percent other religious groups; 2.8 percent professed no formal creed; and 4.1 percent of residents did not indicate religious affiliation in the census.
The Muslim community has grown over the last two decades as a result of an influx of migrants primarily from Turkey, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, many of whom resettled from other Western European countries. According to official census statistics, the Muslim population increased from 689 in 1990 to 1,593 in 2000.
A government-contracted survey of 600 residents published in April 2008 found that 40 percent of the population participated in formal religious services at least once a month. Muslims were the most active religious group -- 44 percent attend religious service at least once a week, compared to 23 percent of Catholics and 24 percent of other Christians.


Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said Wednesday the Hispanic community still supports what President Obama is doing on jobs despite the stubbornly high unemployment rate.
Her comments came days after a new impreMedia/Latino Decisions poll found that the percentage of Latino voters who are certain they would vote for Obama in 2012 dropped from 49 percent in June to 38 percent in August.
Unemployment in Texas, whose population the 2010 U.S. Census put at 38 percent Latino or Hispanic, edged up 0.2 percentage point to 8.4 percent in July. Civilian unemployment among Latinos in Texas was at approximately 9.4 percent in 2010, two points higher than among non-Hispanic whites, according to Labor Department figures. Nationally, unemployment was at 9.1 percent in July of this year, including 11.3 among people of Hispanic or Latino origin.
Under pressure from Congress to do more to boost the economy while not boosting the deficit, Obama has been working on a jobs plan that he will unveil in a speech set for next Wednesday (the same night as the scheduled Republican presidential candidates' debate).
Solis said the payroll tax cut would be "very important" to any jobs plan. She hopes the plan will include a national infrastructure bank and tax incentives for businesses to hire workers.
Solis also rejected recent claims by Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO, which is the largest U.S. labor union and had 545,000 members in Texas in 2010, that Obama hadn't done enough on jobs. She cited the administration's loans to the auto industry, and said her department had improved job training in the health care sector.
"For two and a half years I've spent a lot of time revamping, reforming and reinventing some of our job-training programs, to strengthen them, to better coordinate with our partners in the field," Solis said.
Texas was tied with Mississippi in 2010 for the highest percentage of hourly paid workers who earn at or less than the $7.25 federal minimum wage, at 9.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Reading Guide Questions
Please be aware that this discussion guide will contain spoilers!
Early in Funny Girl, before recording Barbara (and Jim) for Comedy Playhouse, Sophie Straw says of the show, "I don't want it to go out into the world . . . I want to stay like we were" (see page 107). What is Sophie trying to preserve? What is she afraid of losing?
There are some in the book who are irritated by Barbara (and Jim)'s popularity (Edith Maxwell-Bishop and Vernon Whitfield, for example) and who seem to believe that entertainment should be more traditional and less bawdy. Whitfield also says of the show's audience, "I love ordinary people individually. It's ordinary people en masse that trouble me" (page 207). Does the narrator take a stand on this sentiment? How is it conveyed?
On page 150, a reviewer for The Times writes: "The very existence of Barbara (and Jim) indicates the birth of a modern Britain, one prepared to acknowledge that its citizens are as sex-obsessed as our neighbors across the Channel . . ." In what other ways does Funny Girl illustrate Britain's transition from the austere 1950s to the Swinging '60s? From the '60s to the 2010s?
What do you make of the inclusion of real historical evidence (photographs, cartoons, and images of the 1960s) alongside fictional text? Does it blur the line between fact and fiction?
At the launch party for Bill Gardiner's book, Diary of a Soho Boy, Tony Holmes does not feel jealous toward his colleague's success but does feel jealous upon seeing a "beautiful young colored girl" (see page 368) and wonders, Why didn't he know any young, colored women? What does this tell us about both Bill and Tony and about the milieu of Britain at the time?
Much of Funny Girl's energy lies in the bantering dialogue between characters. How do these exchanges allow the characters to define themselves in ways the narrator cannot? For example, Sophie's agent, Brian Debenham, is repeatedly telling young women, "I'm a happily married man" (see page 48, for example). What other character traits can we glean from such dialogue?
On page 208, when Dennis Maxwell-Bishop and Vernon Whitfield appear on Pipe Smoke to argue over the current state of entertainment, Whitfield says, "But . . . where are we going with all of this? The BBC is full of horse-racing and variety shows and pop groups who look and sounds like cavemen. What will it look like in ten years' time? Fifty? You're already making jokes about lavatories and God knows what. How long before you people decide it's all right to show people taking a shit, so long as some hyena in the audience thinks it's hysterical?" How does his argument address not just the fictional plot but entertainment as we know it today? Is Funny Girl a defense of lighthearted entertainment?
A recurring question the characters face while producing Barbara (and Jim) is whether comedy can be intelligent. How is this addressed throughout Funny Girl? How would you respond to the question?
Sophie quietly struggles with feeling that she is relevant to the world of comedy. She's disappointed when she meets Lucille Ball—her idol—after it becomes clear Lucy hasn't seen Barbara (and Jim). But when Sophie and the team meet the Prime Minister, she is heartened that the "invitation was official acknowledgment that they mattered" (page 288), despite realizing the Prime Minister doesn't watch the show either. Why do you think Sophie feels this way?
Funny Girl is told through the voice of an omniscient narrator. Why do you think Nick Hornby chose to narrate the book this way? How might it read differently if it had been told in the first person—say, if it had been told by Sophie?
As a "quick-witted, unpretentious, high-spirited, funny, curvy, clever, beautiful blonde" (page 257), Sophie might strike some readers as almost too good to be true. Is she? How does Hornby address this anomaly?
What dawning realization allows Sophie's anger toward her mother, Gloria Balderstone, to soften? What does this tell us about Sophie? What does this tell us about the eras from which these two women came?
How do both the imaginary sitcom Barbara (and Jim) and the novel Funny Girl deal with issues of sex and class in Britain?
How does the relationship between Tony and Bill change over the course of Funny Girl?
The narrator tells us that, as an older woman, Sophie thinks that entertainment has "taken over the world, and she wasn't sure that the world was a better place for it" (page 442). Do you agree with her assessment? Why or why not?
Funny Girl captures the excitement of youthful success and of burgeoning talent, but it also considers what it's like once that excitement fades. How would you describe the mood at the end of the book as Barbara (and Jim)'s glory days inevitably pass?
What do you imagine Sophie did with the teapot in the opening scene of Barbara and Jim—The Reunion! to get them "off and running" (page 452)?

Year 2 Data Shows that Healthy Communities Initiative Launched with $12 Million from Tom Golisano Has Narrowed the Health Care Gap for People with Intellectual Disabilities
Global Campaign to Expand Healthy Communities from 14 Sites to 100.
World Experts to Convene at Planning Workshop in NYC in December
Sponsored by Golisano Foundation.
Year 2 Report

Clinton Global Initiative Healthy Communities
Washington, D.C. – November 19, 2014 – Special Olympics released data today outlining the results of its successful two-year old Healthy Communities initiative and announced that it will expand the program from 14 to 100 sites by 2025.
Special Olympics launched Healthy Communities in 2012 at the Clinton Global Initiative with a $12 million gift from businessman and philanthropist Tom Golisano.
Healthy Communities provides essential health services to people with intellectual disabilities, a population that is severely medically under-served, despite the plethora of health organizations and programs that exist to serve people in need.
In addition to announcing the program's expansion, Janet Froetscher, Chief Executive Officer of Special Olympics, said that top disability and global health and development experts will convene at UNICEF Headquarters in New York City on December 10 to develop a global campaign to increase the inclusiveness of global development programs and reduce health disparities for people with intellectual disabilities. The workshop is sponsored by the Golisano Foundation. '
Ann Costello, Director of the Golisano Foundation said, "People may not know that Special Olympics is the largest public health organization in the world focused on people with intellectual disabilities. No other organization has the ability to reach millions of people with intellectual disabilities. That's why we partnered with them on Healthy Communities.
"Unless people can access quality care on an ongoing basis in their communities, their health will remain in jeopardy and they will be unable to be productive citizens. We can do this − one community at a time − by increasing awareness; not tolerating our most vulnerable citizens living in pain; and helping to make health systems more inclusive, from medical schools to doctors' offices, to clinics and hospitals."
"Thousands of people got care that would not have, thanks to Healthy Communities," said Tim Shriver, Chairman of the Board of Special Olympics. "Thousands would have suffered in silence and never reached their full potential because there wasn't a doctor in their community willing or able to treat a patient with an intellectual disability or because they weren't invited to line up with the others when dental, vision or hearing exams were offered at schools and clinics."
The goal of Healthy Communities is to help people with intellectual disabilities access health care in their communities and improve their health status.
Since the launch dozens of international and local partner organizations have stepped up to support the program as well, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also provides significant funding for the program in the US.
The program is currently underway in 14 sites including six U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Kansas, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin) and eight other countries (Kazakhstan, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Romania, South Africa and Thailand).
People with intellectual disabilities get less, lower quality or often no health care and experience higher rates of preventable disease, chronic pain and premature death. It is a situation that exists in rich and poor countries, and one that Costello calls "a hidden global health crisis."
Highlights of Data from Year Two of Healthy Communities
In just two years, by offering health clinics in remote villages, partnering with governments, businesses, universities and community organizations, training people with intellectual disabilities to be peer health educators, and more, Healthy Communities has:
•	Provided 52,424 free health examinations at 404 clinics, in seven health areas such as vision, hearing, and oral health;
•	Linked 2,187 people to treatment for serious health conditions discovered through the free examinations;
•	Offered health examinations and clinics in 116 new locations around the world, where people would not have had access to care otherwise;
•	Trained 11,882 health care professionals to provide on-going, community-based care for patients with intellectual disabilities;
•	Trained 382 Special Olympics athletes to be health educators for other people with intellectual disabilities;
•	Delivered health education on locally-relevant topics such as healthy weight, HIV and AIDS, and malaria to 18,292 Special Olympics athletes, their families and coaches; and
•	Engaged 9,884 people with intellectual disabilities in health education opportunities such as fitness clubs and cooking classes.
Froetscher said, "Year 2 results confirm that we are on the right track to ensuring improved health access and status for people with intellectual disabilities through a community-based, cost-effective and sustainable approach. Our goal now is to expand this initiative from 14 to 100 Healthy Communities in Special Olympics programs around the world by 2025."
Guidelines and criteria as to how to replicate the success of the pilot sites and become a Healthy Community will be made available to the 220 Special Olympics programs that serve 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries.
Froetscher said some of the ways change can occur is for Health Ministries to adopt new policies; hospitals and healthcare networks to offer follow-up care; gyms to improve access to their facilities; and doctors, nurses, dental hygienists, and other health professionals to volunteer with Healthy Communities.
About Healthy Communities
The Healthy Communities initiative builds upon the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes® program, which has provided free health examinations in seven disciplines, usually at Special Olympics events, since 1997. Healthy Communities is an on-going, comprehensive, community-based effort, rather than an event-centered program. It works in the community, building partnerships and engaging health workers to expand health and fitness services for people with intellectual disabilities in order to narrow the persistent health disparities they face. The Healthy Communities initiative enables Special Olympics to serve more athletes in harder-to-reach locations in a cost-effective and sustained manner, improve access to follow-up care, and address local health challenges such as obesity, malaria and HIV/AIDS.
About Special Olympics
Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world. We empower people with intellectual disabilities to become accepted and valued members of their communities, which leads to a more respectful and inclusive society for all. Using sports as the catalyst and programming around health and education, Special Olympics is fighting inactivity, injustice and intolerance. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown to more than 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries. With the support of more than 1.3 million coaches and volunteers, Special Olympics delivers 32 Olympic-type sports and more than 81,000 games and competitions throughout the year. Special Olympics is supported by individuals, foundations and partners, including the Christmas Records Trust, the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics®, The Coca-Cola Company, The Walt Disney Company and ESPN, Lions Clubs International, Mattel, , P&G, Microsoft, Bank of America, Essilor Vision Foundation, the B. Thomas Golisano Foundation, Finish Line, The Safeway Foundation, and Safilo Group. Visit Special Olympics at www.specialolympics.org.

[Release] Christians Have TWO-TIMES MORE Choices for Health Care — and for the First Time — One Central Location to Find Them
Dallas — It's open enrollment time, the time for those who purchase their health insurance on the various federal and state health care exchanges to choose plans for the new year. For many, it feels like they have very few choices, with very little understanding of how the process works.
Do I pay more money for the same high-deductible, high-copay plan I had last year, or do I select one with an even steeper deductible and copay?
Do I drop my health insurance plan altogether, pay the fine and take my chances?
Do I lay aside the business I'm building to become an employee elsewhere just so I can get decent health coverage?
Am I aware of all my options and the kind of coverage my family needs?
It's no wonder that 90 percent of Americans end up picking the wrong plan — largely because they didn't realize all the health care options available to them — and especially those available to Christians. And, they certainly don't know where to find all the plans. That's why Jeff Smedsrud, an insurance industry expert, cancer survivor and serial entrepreneur founded HealthValues.org.
"Christians not only have the same options as other Americans, they have unique, legally compliant options such as health-sharing ministries that are not only fully in line with their faith, but also often result in a 50 percent savings compared to a major medical insurance. But up until now, there has been no one-stop place to see and compare all the options available to Christians, get expert help, fill in the gaps not covered by a health plan, and quickly come up with the right solution for them," Smedsrud said.
He continued, "We have been trained to think our health care options are limited because it is difficult to find all offerings in one place. Although we are the 'Amazon' generation, consumers have not been exposed to a true marketplace that shows all kinds of health care options — both those that are regulated as insurance, and those available to people of faith, "Smedsrud noted.
HealthValues.org was created to meet that need.
Christians can quickly compare health care sharing ministries and major medical options in their area, search for their doctors and prescriptions, look at other health care alternatives and get expert advice.
Christians can often save 50 percent or more over their current plan.
And the shopping process takes about five minutes.
Smedsrud also talked about his personal motivation as a cancer survivor for founding HealthValues.org: "Having the right kind of health care makes all the difference for families. I was raised in a small community in Minnesota. Farming, family and faith were everything. My family literally 'lost the farm' because of an illness. It motivated me to find solutions.
Smedsrud continued, "As an adult, I was very physically fit, exercising regularly, and in the prime of life. But I hadn't gone to a doctor in 10 years. When I finally went, I was diagnosed with stage-three colon cancer. Through surgery, treatment and prayer, I recovered. But had I not had the right kind and combination of insurance, I might very well have not received treatment. That's why for me, the importance of the right health care plan is far from academic."
Smedsrud partnered with some of the most innovative leaders in the industry to create this new health care marketplace for Christians. Dallas-based Take Command Health, a leader in individual plan choice software, created the online guide where users can search for their doctors and compare faith-based plans to major medical options. Financial support is provided by Thrivent Financial, a not-for-profit, Fortune 500 company with an over 100-year history of helping members be wise with money and live generously.
Jack Hooper, CEO of Take Command Health adds, "The biggest mistake people make when shopping for health insurance is thinking the answer is on a government website. The reality is there is much more out there. We want consumers to discover all their options in a user-friendly way. HealthValues.org makes it easy to compare and save."
About HealthValues.org
The mission of HealthValues.org is to bring people together who seek transparency, education and want to become wiser about how they spend their health care dollar. The organization provides factual information about health care costs, giving consumers access to like-minded experts to help them make wise decisions. HealthValues.org has created a health care marketplace that gives Christians more health plan options, from traditional major medical plans to faith-based sharing plans. HealthValues.org also provides a way to fund out-of-pocket health care costs that are often not covered by health plans. Find out more at HealthValues.org.
About Take Command Health
Take Command Health empowers individuals and small-business owners to optimize their health insurance dollars. TCH has completely inverted the way people shop for health insurance via their cutting-edge technology platform, which makes finding a health plan that fits your family fast and easy.

I used to be the queen of control. I had a really hard time accepting any situation that was out of my hands. As a teenager, I figured out that if I worked hard enough, I could get more of the things I wanted whether it be attention, success, strength, or knowledge. I stayed up late studying until 3:00am to ace my exams in school. I've exercised 6 times a week and lost the weight. If you look at my history, I typically work really hard until I get the results I want.
But every now and then things just get messed up. No amount of hard work can fix it. You know the feeling?
You stay late at work, show up early, work through lunch, but you don't get the promotion. You try to be the perfect girlfriend or boyfriend and you still get dumped. You save up your vacation days all year, plan out the perfect 2-week trip to relax, and a blizzard cancels your flight or you sprain your ankle the day before you leave. It's infuriating to put all of your efforts into something that just goes to sh**t!
Surrendering does not mean you're giving up your desires or long-term happiness. It does mean you're opening your hands and letting go of the need to control the situation. To surrender, you sit back and relax your grip. You admit that you are not in control. You agree to yourself and to the Universe that you are no longer trying to manipulate the circumstances.
Surrendering is not easy, but it's often the only way to move forward. If you're at your wit's end, surrendering is the most powerful action you can take to achieve a breakthrough.
When I first quit my corporate office job to start a freelance writing career, I quickly jumped into a job hunt fear frenzy, applying to about a dozen job posts every single day. But, for weeks on end, I received no calls or emails back about my pitches. I grew more and more frustrated by the day, inserting tense and anxious energy into every email and application I wrote. After turning my back on a job that generously paid my bills but made me feel numb with boredom, I had to face the facts. I needed a steady paycheck and it wasn't coming quickly enough.
I reached out to a friend and fellow health coach, who encouraged me to drop my job hunt for a few weeks to re-focus on the book I've been writing facing my fears. We agreed I should re-focus my energy, even if just for a few weeks, on serving my writing to the world and following my heart, instead of clenching onto a desperate job hunt that was turning up empty. It was a vulnerable place to be in, but I was desperate.
While I had to laugh at the "coincidence" of the timing, the wiser part of me knew exactly what was going on. I sat back and remembered all the times I had surrendered in the past.
I remembered the time I ran into my ex-boyfriend at a bar less than 8 hours after I wrote in my journal that I had forgiven him for leaving me and was letting go the hope of us getting back together. I remembered how I finally got hired in a professional dance company after I decided it was okay if I never got in. I remembered how I always got the best compliments on my writing when I stopped trying to impress someone and instead just wrote what I felt.
Time after time, when I stopped trying to control the outcome, life got easier and I became happier, whether I got what I wanted or the opposite of what I wanted.
Remembering to surrender will be a lesson I'll work on my entire life, but it's worth every bit of effort. When you've done everything you can and it's just not good enough, the best course of action is often to wave your white flag. You're not giving up. You're simply admitting that you're no longer in control, and you're willing to see what happens if you don't try so hard. You open up your hands and your heart. You become curious and filled with wonder. It is then and only then that you often break free.
Surrender. Relinquish control. Bravely let it go. Do it and watch your life unfold with more magic, joy, and excitement that you ever thought possible!
