By placing digital breadcrumbs of sound throughout the album, they manage to draw you in, as if sleepwalking into a black hole. And as you pass through the event horizon everything is bleached white, and you adjust your eyes, making out a new soft country made of beats ripped straight from the ancient sound-banks of the Commodore 64 and the Amiga 500…

Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks) are platonic losers with dead end jobs and overdue bills. It's the middle of winter, and when the heat is turned off in the house they share, the two bumbling buddies concoct a plan to make money – shoot a porno film after hours in the coffee shop where Zack works…
In an unnamed city, people are going blind. There is no explanation for it, but it seems to be contagious. Fearing an epidemic, the authorities send the afflicted into makeshift quarantine, among them a doctor (Ruffalo) and his wife (Moore), the latter unaffected by the mysterious disease (or whatever it may be). Soon, the blind are left to fend for themselves, and as their numbers grow, hygiene deteriorates and power struggles ensue…

For the last twenty-five years, the Coen Brothers have created some of the most unique films in American cinema history.

The premise – two 40 year-old unemployed infants still living at home with their single parents, thrown together when the parents marry – seemed funny on paper. But sadly, the writing team of Ferrell, Reilly (story credit) and director Adam McKay have sunk to the bottom of the comedic barrel with this offering…

With the sequel, Nolan returns with an equally dark film, yet this time, somewhat more oppressive and less enjoyable. As the Joker (Ledger) revels in a sadistic wave of violence, Batman (Bale) considers a Gotham free of his services. This hope comes from Harvey Dent (Eckhart), a fearless prosecutor who spits in the face of organized crime…

The first half of this film is a clever alternate take on the superhero story, but when the film takes a dramatic tone shift in the second half, one is left wondering what the filmmakers' intentions were. For what could have been an entertaining action comedy quickly becomes a messy hybrid that is ultimately disappointing…

Visionary Russian director Bekmambetov (Nightwatch) scores big time with his first Hollywood film, a whacked-out tale of a nebbish young man who becomes a member of a cabal of assassins. Based on the comic by Mark Millar, this slick, imaginative action film is brought to life by a great cast…

Want to make more money in real estate? Of course you do! For most agents, this leads to a focus on lead-generation, but after decades of coaching agents across the country, we've found that most agents don't need more leads — they need to be more effective at managing the leads they're already generating.
Today we're discussing buyer and seller prequalification, and Tim and Julie Harris will be sharing scripts and strategies you can use to help identify the valuable, motivated, qualified leads worth investing time in. In today's world of "paid leads," this is more valuable than ever — only one in 20 of your buyer leads is going to convert. Shouldn't you focus on identifying the most likely prospect?


Download the Android P launcher on your smartphone today!
Yesterday was chock full of new announcements out of Google I/O 2018. One such announcement was the release of the Beta Program for Android P.
With the first beta update, there are a lot of new features, including an updated way to navigate. However, another new addition is a slightly-updated launcher which is available now.
Thanks to the world of Android, a port of the Rootless Pixel Launcher is now available to download. The only catch with this is that the launcher is only available for Android Oreo handsets.
If you want to download this new launcher, there is some preparation you need to do.
These steps enable the ability to download the APK file for the Pixel Launcher. From there, you'll need to head over to XDA Developers in order to download the file.
After it has been downloaded, simply open up your file manager and find the proper file. Then you can tap on the file to install the new Pixel Launcher.
As expected, you will be given a completely fresh start on your device. This means you will need to rearrange your home screen with your various apps and widgets.
But the great thing here is that your device will now have the look and feel of stock Android. While there is another version of this launcher with many customization options, this version does not.
This Android P launcher allows you to toggle notification dots off and on, change the icon shape, have the Google app when you swipe to the left and more. If you were hoping for custom icon packs, then you will likely have to just hang tight as this is updated.

Q: PHP string to mason JS option I am trying to pass a PHP string to javascript and then use it as an option. I am using the http://masonjs.com/ docs to do this. When I use the data variable it does not work.
<script type="text/javascript">
    var mason;
    var size;
    var data = "<?php echo $this->getSizes($blocks); ?>";
    console.log(data);
    //This contains: [3,2],[2,2]

    jQuery(function(){
        mason = jQuery("#grid").mason({
            itemSelector: ".masonblock",
            ratio: 1.5,
            sizes:[
                data
            ],
            columns: [
                [0, 480, 6]
            ],
            filler: {
                itemSelector: '.filler',
                filler_class: 'mason-filler'
            },
            gutter: 5,
            layout: "fluid"
        })
    });
</script>

The data variable contains [3,2],[2,2] which is what I wanted to achieve but it does not work. However, if I copy this same value from the console.log and paste it directly in the sizes options it will work.
I tried doing this as well but it adds a double quote outside the option:
var data = <?php echo json_encode($this->getSizes($blocks)); ?>;
//Ends up as: "[3,2],[2,2]"

It appears that it has something to do with the type of string being passed as the option. Should I be sending the value as an object? Can you show me what I am doing wrong?
I even tried JSON.stringify(data); but no joy.

A: Try:
var data = JSON.parse("[" + <?php echo json_encode($this->getSizes($blocks)); ?> + "]");

"[3,2],[2,2]" isn't a valid JSON string. You need to enclose it in an array for JSON.parse() to work.
Note: data will have the value [[3,2],[2,2]] so you may want to change sizes: [data] to just sizes: data.

A: var data = JSON.parse(<?php echo json_encode($this->getSizes($blocks)); ?>);

Should do the trick. Although consider is bad practice generating JS from PHP

A: That plugin you are using expects sizes to be an array. When you write:
var data = "<?php echo $this->getSizes($blocks); ?>";

This will be printed as:
var data = "[3,2],[2,2]"; // Will be a string not an array

BUT
var data = [<?php echo $this->getSizes($blocks); ?>]; // I removed quotes plus added brackets to make it an array

and you call yo plugin as......
jQuery(function(){
    mason = jQuery("#grid").mason({
        itemSelector: ".masonblock",
        ratio: 1.5,
        sizes: data,
        ......
    });
});

a way for others to as well know this Love.
The following are just small tastes of the delicious Fruits of the Spirit which each link offers. Click on the title and or author name to explore for yourself the offerings.
"The Divine Love is that Love which belongs to or is a part of God, possessing His nature and composed of His Substance, and which when possessed by man to a sufficient degree, makes him divine and of the nature of God." - Jesus, in a message received by James E. Padgett through spirit communications on May 15, 1917.
God is "madly in love" with us, said the medieval mystic and activist Catherine of Siena, and when we finally realize this truth, we'll discover that loving others is irresistible. Her Dialogue, prayers, and letters teach us to be alone with God in "the cell of our soul." Only then are we ready for public service.
Monday, September 5th 1988 - Lay your life open today and every day for the pattern of Divine Love to be imprinted on you. And let all your actions and relationships be faithful to the pattern you receive. Life and light, sustenance and opportunity should unfailingly be regarded as means of bringing this about.
Through My love I will guide you. Just receive it and you will go unto the right path.
Do you feel My hand in comfort on your forehead or your cheek? My hand is on you. This is one way I know to comfort you. Now that I have told you, can you feel My love?
Divine Love nurtures the growth of all other forms of human or natural love into their ultimate potential, based on universal laws of Divine Truth and harmony – the Divine Design. This Divine Design leads to the greatest love and enjoyment for us in all aspects of life if we follow Divine laws and consistently ask for and receive Divine Love. God's Divine Love is the foundation for our truest happiness in all ways, and indeed is our ultimate happiness.
What would you do if a spirit voice asked you to sit for an hour a day and take down its messages? Would you question your sanity? Would you write?
Author Carol Woodliff shares beautiful poetic lessons from that spirit voice and honest personal essays reflecting on living that wisdom.
It is a journey that is funny, touching, mystical and grounded in the question, "How do we live those spirit teachings and be compassionate with our human self at the same time?" Carol invites you to join her in this exploration and listen to the whispers within your own heart.
whether God-made or man-made, that did not first exist in thought alone.
Thank you so much for featuring the book, It's OK to Believe and inviting me to comment. No matter how powerful the spiritual experience there are moments when the spiritual doesn't seem relevant to our 'real' life. For myself I was living with disability and lack of support. This book is my poetic journey to bring my questioning mind - my reason, in line with my spiritual experience - my faith. Doing so has allowed me to commit to the spiritual journey more fully and learn to invite that Love, that Strength, that Joy into every aspect of my life. My prayer and intention is that the book helps others to do the same.

«Кузница» — московское литературное объединение, существовавшее в 1920—1932 (с 1928 как структурное подразделение ВОАПП).

История
Первоначально объединение «Кузница» состояло из пролетарских писателей, вышедших в январе 1920 из Пролеткульта. Среди них были С. Обрадович, М. Герасимов, В. Александровский, Г. Санников. Позже к ним присоединились С. Родов, В. Кириллов, Н. Полетаев, В. Казин, И. Филипченко, Г. Никифоров, Ф. Васюнин (Каманин). В мае 1920 они основали журнал «Кузница» (выходил до 1922) и в декабре 1920 избрали это название для своей группы.

Группа с самого начала противопоставила себя дореволюционным литературным направлениям и школам — символизму, футуризму, имажинизму. Участники «Кузницы» в своих Манифестах объявляли примат классовой, пролетарской литературы, отход в поэзии от «буржуазного» содержания, сжатого формальными рамками стиха, к точному выражению пролетарского духа. Художник-пролетарий объявлялся медиумом своего класса. Риторика выступлений «Кузницы» была весьма идеологизированной. При этом они не признавали руководство развитием культуры со стороны партии. Писатели «Кузницы» отвергали НЭП, объявляя эту политику изменой принципам Мировой Революции.

Группа претендовала на ведущую роль в деле развития новой пролетарской культуры, по её инициативе был созван I Всероссийский съезд пролетарских писателей (18—21 октября 1920 года). Съезд учредил ВАПП и избрал её правление, больше чем наполовину состоящее из членов «Кузницы».

Однако с 1923 года для группы начинается период расколов и упадка. В декабре 1922 года из «Кузницы» вышли Родов, Дорогойченко и Малашкин, чтобы организовать новое объединение пролетарских писателей, «Октябрь», которое уже вскоре вытеснило «Кузницу» с лидирующих позиций. В ноябре 1923 группу покинули Герасимов и Кириллов (они вышли также из партии). К этому времени председателем правления «Кузницы» становится Г. Якубовский, в руководство входят прозаики Ф. В. Гладков, В. Бахметьев, Н. Ляшко, П. Низовой, А. С. Новиков-Прибой.

В 1924 «Кузница» создала своеобразный блок с «Перевалом» А. К. Воронского, проведя совместную конференцию против МАПП. Однако уже в начале 1925 года резко поменяла позицию, выступив на стороне МАПП во Всесоюзной конференции пролетарских писателей. В 1928 была предпринята попытка создать массовую организацию, способную конкурировать с РАПП, все региональные группы реорганизованы во Всесоюзное общество пролетарских писателей «Кузница». В 1929 году шла непримиримая война с РАПП, из которой последняя вышла победителем. В декабре 1929 Центральный совет «Кузницы» заявил о готовности капитулировать на определённых условиях. При обсуждении этих условий в конце 1930 года «Кузница» раскололась на две части: Московскую центральную группу «Кузница» во главе с Бахметьевым и «Новую Кузницу» во главе с И. Жигой. Обе части вступили в РАПП (после чистки) на правах творческих группировок.

Собрания «Кузницы» проходили по четвергам в Староконюшенном переулке, дом 33. На эти встречи приглашались участники других московских литературных групп. В 1920-е годы объединение издавало журналы «Кузница», «Журнал для всех», «Рабочий журнал», «Пролетарский авангард».

Главный мотив лирики поэтов «Кузницы» — идеализация труда и пролетариата, металла и машин. Проза не столь однообразна; значение её, однако, тоже невелико.

Poems and Prose Poems
Author: Mary Oliver
From one of America's leading poets, a breath-taking collection of new poems
"Joy is not made to be a crumb," writes Mary Oliver, and certainly joy abounds in her new book of poetry and prose poems. Swan, her twentieth volume, shows us that, though we may be "made out of the dust of stars," we are of the world she captures here so vividly: the acorn that hides within it an entire tree; the wings of the swan like the stretching light of the river; the frogs singing in the shallows; the mockingbird dancing in air. Swan is Oliver's tribute to "the mortal way" of desiring and living in the world, to which the poet is renowned for having always been "totally loyal."
As the Los Angeles Times noted, innumerable readers go to Oliver's poetry "for solace, regeneration and inspiration." Few poets express the immense complexities of human experience as skillfully, or capture so memorably the smallest nuances. Speaking, for example, of stones, she writes, "the little ones you can / hold in your hands, their heartbeats / so secret, so hidden it may take years / before, finally, you hear them." It is no wonder Oliver ranks, according to the Weekly Standard, "among the finest poets the English language has ever produced."
"Mary Oliver moves by instinct, faith, and determination. She is among our finest poets, and still growing." —Alicia Ostriker, The Nation
"Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations." —Stanley Kunitz
"One would have to reach back perhaps to [John] Clare or [Christopher] Smart to safely cite a parallel to Oliver's lyricism." —David Barber, Poetry
"The music in Oliver's writing is unmistakable. Her poetry can be read as the best of the real lyrics we have these days, and it's no surprise that she's already won a Pulitzer Prize for it, as well as many other honors." —Los Angeles Times
Review: Ms. Magazine - October 26, 2010
With her new collection, this winner of the National Book Award for Poetry and the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry once again joyfully celebrates the natural world.
Review: Christian Century - October 19, 2010
"You can pick up pretty much any Mary Oliver collection and be thrilled, but Swan…is so piercing and penetrating that form seems to fall away, an unnecessary stage for the rocket."
Review by: Donna Seaman, Booklist - September 1, 2010
"Oliver's plainspoken yet ringing poems are testimony to joy, prayers, and sermons."

Get It Right – 4 Tips to Rebuild Your Emerging Brand
I recently enjoyed attending the New Hope Business School Seminar held in conjunction with the Natural Products West 2018 event in Anaheim.
An interesting session was focused on rebranding for early stage brands.
Brand builders and founders Perry Fields and Norah Eddy both have powerful stories to tell about the products they brought to market for the first time.
Perry Fields, a food scientist, was so convinced of the health benefits of tooth powder – as opposed to toothpaste – she created Frau Fowler, which she eventually built into a collection of oral health products.
Norah Eddy, a mother, believed there was so much value in sustainable, traceable seafood products for children and families, she came up with Salty Girl Seafood snacks like her Salmon Bites.
And while each found initial success when they introduced their products to the market, they discovered the stories they had to tell were not necessarily the stories that would help shoppers in the grocery store make that all important purchase-point decision.
But at least they were on their way, both told us in the session entitled "Packaging and Design as Your Brand Evolves."
"You have to be a brand before you can rebrand," Fields said.
Fred Hart of branding and packaging agency Interact Boulder pointed out during the session that each entrepreneur had taken the right first steps.
"Make sure your product is down pat first before you invest in branding and packaging," Hart said.
He said he uses a simple equation when talking to those who are thinking about rebranding early in the development of a new product: "Your presentation plus your follow through equals your brand."
In other words, the packaging you decide on, if done correctly, will set a consumer's expectations. But then you must deliver on the promise of that expectation, taking into consideration pivotal elements as taste expectation, mouth feel and function. If you overpromise, you'll get trial but no repeat. If you under promise, you create a hurdle for the brand. Finding the sweet spot in the middle is the goal of any brand.
And that is just the beginning, said another expert in branding and packaging, Adam Butler of Butler Brothers.
"Once you get into the marketplace," Butler said, "you need some booster rockets."
That's exactly what Perry and Eddy found in terms of rebranding their packaging.
Perry's Frau Fowler branding had started out with what she described as "kitschy" descriptions of the historical references to how much earlier in time tooth powder had been in use before toothpaste came along.
Eventually, she realized today's customers are interested in taste as well as the verifiable evidence of its health benefits. So that's what Frau Fowler's branding now emphasizes.
While the look of Eddy's Salty Girl Snacks packaging "popped" on a computer screen, she said, "At Whole Foods, it just looked like everything else. Standing alone, it looked beautiful, but when we saw it on the shelf, it just faded into the background."
With the help of a designer with what she described as an "ocean-focused lifestyle" who understood the brand the way she did, Eddie went back to the drawing board.
Fields and Eddy had four pieces of advice for any entrepreneur thinking about whether to rebrand.
First, follow Hart's advice about having your product "down pat" before you ever think about branding. Make sure you can deliver on the promise you make to the consumer.
Second, get out and talk to the consumer.
"Demos, demos, demos," Fields reiterated.
That's how she learned that, while the information she had about the health benefits of Frau Fowler tooth powder was helpful to people, what they cared about just as much was the taste.
"When we did that, we found out the questions people were really asking," she said.
It's not easy, Eddy added.
"But if you're an entrepreneur, you need to be out on the floor," she added. "It's the way you reach your customer."
Third, work closely with your designers and the branding consultants you hire.
Hart said, "Collaboration is a big part of the process." Great work comes from a great relationship. Any easy stress test – would you want to grab a beer with your branding partner? Hopefully the answer's yes, unless of course you're more of a wine lover. You get the point.
Finally, know who your product is meant for and focus on them.
"Not every brand is built for every single channel," Hart said. "You need to mean something to someone, not anyone."

Q: Visual Studio 2012 RC "psapi.dll" - Fatal Error On Startup After installing VS2012 RC on my dev PC, I keep getting this error on the splash screen on startup of the application, immediately after selecting the appropriate Environment Setting.

Unable to load DLL 'psapi.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

VS2010 threw this error immediately after the VS2012 threw the error.  (VS2010 worked well prior to the 2012 Installation). Both applications now don't even work at all.
Things I've tried:

*

*Tried running devenv with all the switch cmds of VS I know - /Resetsettings, /ResetSkipPkgs, /safemode

*Uninstalling and installing ALL versions of VS on my PC (2008, 2010 and 2012) - after clearing the %temp% windows folder.

*Formatted my PC and reinstalled all versions of VS again from the scratch.

PLEASE NOTE : The Visual Studio 2012 worked when I restarted my windows in Safe Mode.
My PC is a Lenovo i3, 4G RAM, 64Bit Windows 7.
Please help me as I have wasted days trying to solve this issue to no avail.
Thanks a lot.

Q: mvn install error again mvn install
i get the following error
[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its
 dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.
apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5: Could not transfer artifact
 org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.5 from/to central (http:/
/repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): Connection to http://repo.maven.apache.org refus
ed: Connection timed out:

I tried to set proxy using the earlier answers in stack but still i am facing the problem.
A clear step thru help is required.

A: Solution:
Add the below dependency to pom.xml:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
</dependency>

Then run "mvn clean install" from command prompt.
After that refresh (F5) and upgrade the project configuration in eclipse (run > Maven > Update Project Configuration.)

A: Faced the same problem. This happens because of cached files. What worked for me was deleting the contents of repository folder. It did download all the files again at the next build but solved the problem.

A: Add a global settings.xml(sample will be available inside your mvn.home/conf/settings.xml) in your .m2 folder, that resides inside the c:/user/username/.m2 ..
Add the following entry in the settings.xml within
  <pluginRepositories>

                                    <pluginRepository>
                                            <id>central</id>
                                            <name>Maven Plugin Repository</name>
                                            <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
                                            <releases>
                                                    <enabled>false</enabled>
                                            </releases>
                                            <snapshots>
                                                    <enabled>false</enabled>
                                            </snapshots>
                                    </pluginRepository>

                            </pluginRepositories>

This would solve the above issue.

A: I had the same problem caused by proxy Setting. I solved it adding my proxy setting in the setting.xml file located under the maven installation directory in  /conf/settings.xml
<proxies>
    <proxy>
        <id>optional</id>
        <active>true</active>
        <protocol>http</protocol>
        <username>xxxx</username>
        <password>xxxxx</password>
        <host>xxxxxxx</host>
        <port>xxxx</port>
        <nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
</proxies>

A: I solved this problem by including the following lines in my

settings.xml

file which can be found at C:\Program Files\Apache\maven\apache-maven-3.3.9\conf
<proxies>
<proxy>
  <id>optional</id>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>https</protocol>
  <host>xxxxxxxxxx</host>
  <port>xxxx</port>
  <nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>

Please pay attention to protocol- "https" not "http". Save this file and update user settings of your IDE by navigating to
Windows->Preferences->Maven->User Settings->User Settings to
C:\Program Files\Apache\maven\apache-maven-3.3.9\conf\settings.xml

Hope this helps.

A: In eclipse go to Window-->Preferences-->Maven-->
Unselect options "Do not automatically update dependencies from remote repositories"
Doing so has done the trick for me. I was then able to download all dependencies.


Since I started playing Bolt Action, I've been wondering about the best way to carry my troops. Taking them to and from the wargames club or elsewhere is a little problematic as I don't have a suitable method to protect them, or even store them at home without the risk of getting damaged.
At the moment I'm blu-tacing them individually to the bottom of the box which means it takes a while to remove them from the box, remove the blu-tac and set them out, then I have to add a bit of blu-tac to each figure at the end of the night and fix them in the box.
I've thought about those custom foam containers where each figure is enclosed in a foam compartment but they seem quite expensive, unless you make a DIY version.
So this week I decided to try converting them into magnetic bases and having magnetic sheet in the box.
As I have already based most of the figures I thought the best way would be to get hold of some washers, stick those on the bases of the figures and then fix some magnetic sheet to the boxes.
I got 10 A4 self-adhesive magnetic sheets from Ebay for £15.95. I then popped into my local Wilkinsons who sell pick and mix nuts and bolts. You can fill a small bag for £1.99 and a large one for £2.99. I got a small bag and filled it with around 160 25mm washers.
The washers are excellent value for money. I went in a few days later and got a large bag of washers for an extra quid and reckon I got around 300 washers. I could probably have fitted in quite a few others but I didn't want to be greedy. When you think they do small packs of 8 washers for £1.25, getting 300 for £2.99 is a no-brainer.
Anyway, once I had all the stuff I spray-painted one side of the washers with grey primer and once they were dried I used epoxy resin to attach them to the MDF bases of my figures. All I then had to do was to paint the edges of the washers brown to match the MDF bases and the figures were completed.
With the prone figures on oval bases I attached two washers. With the 60,mm round bases and the large artillery bases I initially drilled a small hole in the middles and fixed a 6mm magnet but these didn't stick well to the magnetic sheet so I drilled larger holes in separate MDF bases, glues a washer in and then attached the whole thing to the bottom of the larger bases.
I decided to cut of the magnetic sheets int0 20mm strips so I could get more ground coverage with them in the boxes. They stick to the base of the box and the job's a good 'un.
I can now keep my figures safe during transport and have enough sheets for another 9 boxes – I'm using computer component/motherboard boxes as they are usually made of stiff, thick card.


The castle that inspired the novel Dracula is to be turned into holiday apartments, but locals are branding it a huge mi-"stake".
Local councillors in Aberdeenshire may well be advised to hand garlic around their offices after approving a scheme to turn 16th century Slains Castle, which inspired Bram Stoker to write his gothic masterpiece Dracula, into holiday flats.
The cliffs on which the castle stands outside Cruden Bay are in danger of collapse, but local residents are adamant that the ruins should be left as they are, to provide a more genuine vampiric experience than any themed resort could.
At a public meeting held last week, before the council made its decision, one resident warned that the plans would "drive a stake" through the building's historic charm.

TALLAHASSEE — The National Jurist has ranked Florida State University College of Law the 9th best value law school in the nation. The ranking, which is published in The National Jurist's fall 2016 issue of preLaw magazine, weighs important student outcomes – bar passage rate and employment rate – against tuition, cost of living and indebtedness. According to The National Jurist, the rankings are "designed to find the law schools where graduates have excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a legal job without taking on a ton of debt." This is a jump in the rankings for FSU – the law school was ranked 13th best in the nation in 2015 – and the eighth year in a row that The National Jurist has ranked Florida State one of the nation's top 15 best value law schools.
The national ranking reflects the law school's strong employment outcomes. According to ABA data, Florida State is the #1 law school in Florida in terms of the percentage of 2015 graduates employed 10 months after graduation in full-time, long-term, bar passage-required or J.D.-advantage jobs.

No white picket fences for her!
It's not in Samantha Crozier's DNA to ignore the call of the open road. The wind in her hair and the pavement beneath her bike are all Sam needs. Until she crashes into Widow's Grove and the arms of Nick Pinelli, that is. Nick is gorgeous, and pure temptation?temptation Sam is determined to avoid. But with her motorcycle totaled, she's here for a while. So she comes up with a plan to renovate an abandoned house. Once that's done, she's gone.
However, the plan quickly backfires. She can't find any resistance to Nick's charm. Worse, for the first time, the house she's working on is beginning to feel like a home. Her home. And she knows that's all because of Nick.

Many critics have trolled the senator for what they termed 'dancing his way to government house.
However, during a town hall meeting organized by Oduduwa Youth Development Initiative in Osun State on Wednesday, Adeleke said that's exactly what he'd do.
" I have been tagged dancing Senator, but this shouldn't be used against me because everybody dances. Have you seen someone who doesn't dance? I am winning this election and I will dance to the Government House after that.
He said, "Anybody who fails to pay his or her labourers is wicked and I can boldly say that the APC government is wicked for not paying its workers and pensioners in the state.
"The menace of non-payment of salary is responsible for the 29th position of this state in the ranking of WAEC; but when I get to power, I will turn it around by ensuring that the welfare of every worker in the state is catered for.
Adeleke later condemned the police invitation to him over the allegation of certificate forgery.
He spoke through the Director General of his Campaign Organisation, Chief Lere Oyewumi, at a press conference on Wednesday.
He said the certificate issue had been tried and judgement given by an Osun State High Court presided over by Justice David Oladimeji.
He said the police invitation was unnecessary because another case on it was also before a court in Abuja.
He, however, commended Buhari for directing the police to stop the invitation.
"Ballots have been imprinted in Ondo State and they want to bring them in through Ife South, but we will resist them," he added.

Oh man this week made me so mad....and I'm guessing Samir felt the same way.
I was beating Ray by 2 points going into the final few seconds of the game. Then it happened, the LAST play of the game. I was sure I had the win until I heard the announcer say, "Ok it looks like the lateral play will start with Hightower(Rays Player)." Of course, Hightower does just enough to give Ray the win.
I added Samir because he was stomping on Gabe, and somehow lost. I mean Samir was winning like 173 to 109. Ray Clark was beating Dusty by a large margin as well.... Then David Johnson happened. He scored the most points I have ever seen a running back score.
Two weeks left guys, most of us have a chance still. Good luck!!


Relationships are give and take, Jesus calls us to follow him, serve, love others and have faith but, he is also giving; and so he asks "What do you want me to do for you?" take a moment to think about your answer.
Yesterday, we saw that the father of a possessed boy wanted Jesus to help him with his unbelief. Today the answers go from asking for the highest honour; James and John wanted to be seated to the left and right of Jesus, to the most obvious; the blind man wanted to see.
What you want can be very basic and obvious or the biggest thing you can think of. You cannot dream bigger than God. Maybe you're frustrated because you've told Jesus what he can do for you but he doesn't seem to be listening?
Jesus wants to give you what you want because he loves you, but that love means that you don't always get what you're asking for. James' and John's request was for their own promotion, to be given the highest honour and to look important. They wanted to be the greatest. It is clear that this is not how kingdom promotion works. Jesus explains to the disciples that becoming great comes from living as the least. Jesus himself came to serve, not to be served (10:45).
Like the two disciples it could be that you are asking with the wrong motive, but it's not only your motive but your attitude. Through the illustration of a fig tree Jesus shows the disciples that if they pray with faith that truly believes, they are able to receive anything in prayer and as you learnt yesterday, your attitude must be one of belief. There is a further hindrance of an unclean heart; if you are holding on to unforgiveness or sin then that needs to be cleared before coming to God.
Jesus wants to do what you want him to and he is trying to show you how you can help him. Your decisions, your requests and what you want Jesus to do for you need to be measured. The most important thing in your life is your relationship with God and it is that you use as a measure. Does what you want measure up to the greatest commandment? More than sacrifice, service and offerings God wants your love. Not just a bit of it but all of it, heart, mind, soul and strength.
Religion demands that the rules are followed and God is obeyed because, people are watching and judging how religious a person is. Relationship means that God is obeyed, not for others but only for the love of God. That love is demonstrated in your obedience and your love for others.
Bartimaeus, a beggar, did not ask for money he asked for his sight, because of his faith Jesus gives him his sight to point to what love and faith in God can do. In answering this request Jesus demonstrates God's love.
Jesus asks "What do you want me to do for you?" Does what you want show how much you love God? Does what you want demonstrate that love to others? Does receiving what you want point to God?
Lord, I thank you that you speak to me, that you want to enter into conversation and to know exactly what I want you to do in my life. Help me to focus on the things that demonstrate my love for you and your love for others, so that I am not selfish in my requests. Lord, what I really want from you is to be in your will and to be in such a close relationship that I am in step with you.
Have you ever prayed that there be a parking space or that the speed camera would not be working? I have! Is it that glorifying God? No of course there would be other things more worthy - maybe the prayer should have been "lord bless me with better time management and more self control so I don't need to speed". Do you think that if you prayed for courage that you wake up suddenly able to wrestle lions without your knees knocking together. No, God's way would to put you on a journey that will teach you to be courageous. It is interesting that JC replies "you do not know what you are asking". God has the master plan and sees the big picture - we can't. If we could how do you think it would change our attitudes?
There's a great point here in the fact that when we pray we don't always know what we are asking.

Research: Deep mesophotic reefs are unique systems bursting with life and deserving of lasting protection from global change and climate threats —
Janet R. Aguilar
New findings suggest that out-of-sight deep reefs are unique habitats in need of protection. A team of highly trained scientific divers — led by researchers from the California Academy of Sciences — explored Pacific and western Atlantic reefs to test a widely held hypothesis that climate-stressed life from shallow reefs can take refuge at mesophotic depths (100 — 500 feet beneath the ocean's surface). The results are clear: deep and shallow reefs are actually different systems with their own species, and deep reefs are just as threatened by climate impacts, storms, and pollution as their shallow counterparts. Their work, published today in Science, represents a major shift in thinking for scientists, conservation managers, and members of the public hoping to give coral reefs a fighting chance.
"We have hope for coral reefs around the world," says Dr. Luiz Rocha, Academy Ichthyology Curator and Hope for Reefs initiative co-leader. "Rather than take that hope away, these findings show us the critical importance of protecting twilight zone reefs in places we don't normally look. We can't ignore the deep while we throw our collective might behind protecting and restoring shallow coral reefs. Reefs — in the light and in the dark — need our urgent attention."
Nearly 75 percent of the world's coral reefs are currently threatened by the combined impacts of overfishing, habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate change. Though coral reefs provide human societies with vital goods and services worth an estimated several hundred billion dollars per year, very little is known about shallow reefs' deeper counterparts — the species they shelter, the threats they face, or the refuge they've been thought to provide.
Charting life in the deep
Rocha is part of a deep-diving research team that explores these mesophotic reefs, the mysterious coral habitats stretching across a narrow band of ocean 100 — 500 feet beneath the surface. In these deep reefs, animals live in partial darkness — beyond recreational diving limits, yet above the deep trenches patrolled by submarines and ROVs. As part of its Hope for Reefs initiative, the Academy team is exploring this unknown frontier with the help of high-tech equipment like closed-circuit rebreathers that allow scientists to extend their research time underwater. Many species observed in the twilight zone are new scientific discoveries — but determining if and how deep and shallow reefs are connected required a much closer look at reefs around the world.
"Exploring the twilight zone is a scientific adventure we take very seriously," says Bart Shepherd, Senior Director of the Academy's Steinhart Aquarium and Hope for Reefs co-leader. "One reason we know so little about them is because it's hard to complete the dives safely. From the Philippines to the Bahamas, we took careful visual surveys of the life we encountered during these long, amazing, difficult dives. The results are a call to action — deep reefs are not the refuge some thought they were."
The researchers conducted visual counts of reef species by laying out transects (an easy-to-follow path made from a 20-meter tape measure) and counting which species appear at different depths. By comparing the data from the field with results in peer-reviewed literature, the team presents evidence contradicting the two major assumptions of the "refuge hypothesis": One, that there is substantial species overlap in deep and shallow reefs (there isn't), and two, that deep reefs are protected from local and global threats (they're not).
Twilight zone reefs "feel it all"
Study results published today describe the unique communities — with several endemic species — found in deep reefs. Species that share shallow and deep coral reefs usually have strong preferences for specific depth zones — meaning there are few shallow reef residents comfortable moving between light-filled reefs and shadowy twilight zones. Even top predators — key players in the marine ecosystem, like sharks, groupers, and snappers — that move between shallow and deep reefs each day do most of their feeding in the light and aren't likely to take refuge in the deep. Shallow and deep reef populations appear disconnected.
Mesophotic coral reefs are, in reality, also susceptible to human and natural impacts (like hurricanes and tropical storms). In 2016, several members of the research team chased Hurricane Matthew's destructive path through the Bahamas, capturing a rare look at powerful storms' impacts at mesophotic depths. The team observed that powerful storms can impact even the deepest coral reef ecosystems, choking live corals and harming marine life with sand, silt, and natural debris like tree branches. Trash — including plastic bags, cups, aluminum cans, and fishing gear — also appear to reach deep reefs.
"Deep reefs feel it all," says Rocha, referring to the evidence of mesophotic vulnerability they've documented across two oceans. "Besides storm impacts, we saw the familiar signs of heavy fishing, sedimentation, coral bleaching, and invasive species in deep reefs. If real refuges for shallow reefs exist, we think they're mostly far away from humans. Climate impacts can still reach them, but we're really seeing the undersea consequences of human population expansion and increased demand for food and natural resources. Reef troubles don't stop at 100 feet deep."
The Academy's commitment to studying and restoring global coral reefs will continue alongside several visionary partners in years to come. This August, the institution's twilight zone researchers will explore deep Pacific reefs in the Marshall Islands.
Hope for Reefs — the Academy initiative behind this study — supports expeditions to Earth's most remote and unknown reefs for deeper study and understanding. Visitors to the Academy in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park can learn more about these precious ecosystems in Twilight Zone: Deep Reefs Revealed, a first-of-its-kind exhibit that showcases the mysterious underwater realm so few get to witness. Visitors can also experience the museum's newest original planetarium show Expedition Reef — featuring immersive visualizations of deep reefs and shallow reef restoration work with SECORE International — under a world-class planetarium dome.
"In a time of global crisis for coral reefs, learning more about unexplored reef habitats is critical to our understanding of how to protect them," says Rocha. "Deep reefs are important environments that are rarely included in marine protected areas or sanctuaries. We aim to highlight the ocean's vast and unexplored wonders and inspire a new generation of sustainability champions."

The Cosmic Trigger Experience — Two Days That Shook The Wirrall

Last November, during the Discordian Holy Days of November 22nd and 23rd, I had the distinct and mind blowing privilege to attend the Cosmic Trigger Play and Find The Others Conferestival in Liverpool, England, the cradle of yellow submarine civilization.
I'd planned to do a write up of the Cosmic Trigger event, but each time I attempted to put pen to paper, I felt I could never do justice to the experience, as it had a profound effect on me—equally hilarious and heartbreaking—and each time I attempted to write about it, my words fell short.
Fortunately, Ian "Cat" Vincent did all the heavy lifting for me in his review of the event from the December 2014 issue of Fortean Times and gave us the go ahead to reprint it. Goddess willing, Daisy Eris Campbell and Her Band of Merry Pranksters will soon bring their glory to us from across the pond. Hail Eris and keep the rainbow knickers flying!
The Cosmic Trigger Experience —
Two Days That Shook The Wirrall
by Ian Vincent
"This is too important to take seriously."
—Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007 CE)
This is not, and could never have been, an objective review. Robert Anton Wilson matters too much to me.
Wilson – writer, philosopher, occasional past Fortean Times contributor and woefully unsung cultural influence on everything from conspiracy theory to comic books – matters to Daisy Campbell, too. She literally would not be the woman she is today without him.
Daisy Eris Campbell was conceived backstage at the Liverpool School of Language, Music, Dream and Pun, during her father Ken Campbell's ground-breaking stage adaptation there in 1976 of Wilson and Robert Shea's novel Illuminatus! ("It was a long play" noted her mother, actress Prunella Gee.) Unsurprisingly, theatre was in Daisy's blood and drew her on to work with her father on his 24-hour-long adaptation of Neil Oram's The Warp and other productions.
A while after Ken's death in 2008, several people approached Daisy about the possibility of her directing a revival of Illuminatus! for the stage. This idea didn't appeal – but the string of synchronicity which had begun at the moment of her conception seemed to be tugging her towards doing something connected to both Wilson and Ken's work. Daisy's idea was to create a stage version of Wilson's autobiography, Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati which, since it included scenes from when Wilson came over to London to meet Ken and make a cameo appearance in the notorious Black Mass scene in Illuminatus!, would allow her to pay homage to both Wilson and her dad alike. The fact that Daisy had just reached the same age as her father was when he mounted Illuminatus! was icing on the golden apple.
After getting both the blessing and the rights to the book from Wilson's surviving daughter, Daisy (along with co-conspirator John Higgs, author of the recent splendidly Discordian biography of The KLF, whose Bill Drummond worked on the Illuminatus! sets) took to the road to both promote the entirely crowd-funded show and test out early scenes with a hopefully sympathetic audience. It's here that I enter the story.
In October of 2013 (on the 23rd, of course), Daisy and Higgs appeared at London's Horse Hospital venue with a pair of talks about both Wilson and the production, and to offer a couple of preview scenes to view – and I made a point of being there. Wilson had been a significant influence on me since my early teens, and I was delighted to see a revival of interest in his work, especially in times where rising dualistic us-and-them narratives trouble the globe… maybe a little of Wilson's multi-model approach and Gnostic Agnosticism coming back into the cultural conversation could help, in some small way.
The preview scenes – a meeting between Wilson, William S. Burroughs, Alan Watts and his wife at Playboy Magazine in 1968, and an interview with Ken Campbell during the Illuminatus! production&mdashwere smart, funny and hinted that the final production would be something special. Adding further interest was the news that writer, magician and Wilson fan Alan Moore would be contributing his recorded voice and visage to the play in the role of the artificial intelligence FUCKUP.
Cut to February 23, 2014.
Daisy and Higgs brought their act to the Kazimer Theatre in Liverpool. With the crowdfunding well on course and the play close to having a finished script, the next question was: where to mount the play? Daisy's first instinct was Liverpool – both for the connection to Ken's original and the synchronistic echoes with both the production and the life-changing vision of C.G. Jung, who had once dreamed that Liverpool, a city he had never before visited, was the Pool Of Life. The Kazimer gathering was partly to share the progress, show some exclusive footage on Alan Moore talking about Wilson's influence on both his attitude to conspiracy theory and magic, and to air another preview scene – a recreation of Wilson's first LSD trip. All of these were spectacularly impressive – especially the LSD sequence, which successfully employed clever scene-changing, music and some heart-rending acting from Oliver Senton, the actor cast as Wilson. By the end, it was clear that Liverpool was going to be the right place.
Following the performance, a group of us went to Mathew Street, just down from where the old Cavern Club had stood, to conduct a small street ritual to the bust of Jung there, which had been commissioned by Peter O'Halligan, founder of the Liverpool School of Language, Music, Dream and Pun, many years before. Being not unfamiliar with the idea of street magic, I suggested we combine the ritual with a calling upon the synchronistic powers of Alan Moore's Liverpool-born creation, John Constantine… and so we did.
(For more about this event and ritual, see my Daily Grail post: http://tinyurl.com/cosmicliverpool)
By the time the play was ready for its first performance on November 22nd at the Camp And Furnace venue in Liverpool's docklands, the weekend of its premiere had expanded considerably – Daisy and her cohorts not being the type to do things by halves, it was now going to be a two day celebration of the thought and works of both Wilson and Ken Campbell.
The play itself began by setting out a new standard instruction for theatre… "Start with a striptease, and then build to a climax". The striptease is a recreation of the story of Ishtar, surrendering all her clothes and symbols before entering, naked and pure, into Hell. From there, Senton's Wilson takes up the tale of how he entered that most illuminating of Hells, The Chapel Perilous – from which one can only emerge as a stone paranoid, or an agnostic.
There are many astonishing things about the play of Cosmic Trigger itself: the sheer range of emotion and theatrical styles (from hilarity to tragedy, from crisp two-person dialogue scenes to full-blown song-and-dance numbers); the dedication and enthusiasm of the cast (all were excellent, but stand-outs were Senton, Kate Alderton as his wife Arlen, Josh Darcy as Ken Campbell and 15 year old Dixie McDevitt, Daisy's daughter, as Luna Wilson); the back-projected sets by Scott McPherson combined with recreation of Bill Drummond's original Illuminatus! sets; Steve Fly's music, songs and live drumming… but one thing I especially appreciated was the skill with which Daisy adapted Wilson's book with great fidelity, while not allowing it to fall into hagiography – both Bob and Ken are shown as fragile, deeply human men, faults and all – and their work all the better for it.
It is also likely to remain the only stage production in which a woman, playing her own mother, recreates the moment of her own conception.
The rest of the festival was overflowing with joys. The evening show following the performance included outstanding work from a range of performers, including Ken's former lover & protege Nina Conti, whose skilled and twisted ventriloquism routine had the audience crying with laughter, and music from T. C. Lethbridge and a DJ set from Youth of Killing Joke.
The Sunday – the 23rd, Harpo Marx's birthday – was no less significant, with a range of talks, workshops and performances. It began with a powerfully moving ritual to the Ancestors, given by Rupert and Claire Callender of the Green Funeral Company (http://www.thegreenfuneralcompany.co.uk/). Speakers included Robert Temple (whose book 'The Sirius Mystery' had been such an influence on Wilson and who coined the term Cosmic Trigger), Discordian archivist Adam Gorightly and Robin Ince (who spoke movingly and hilariously of his love of Wilson's angle on skepticism). The art show contained contributions from the likes of Jimmy Cauty, the other half of the KLF (who also designed the posters) and Melinda Gebbie. There were also bands, DJ sets and a film show (which included one of Wilson's favourites, Orson Welles' 'F For Fake' and the first showing of the video of Alan Moore's 'Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels' performance/ritual of 1994).
And then there was one last twist for me… when Daisy asked if I happened to be an ordained priest (I am – thanks, Universal Life Church!) because she had decided that it was the perfect day to marry her long time partner, Greg Donaldson – "all my friends are here!". It was half-improvised, a bit ramshackle in places… but, somehow, a glorious wedding. Much like the whole event.
'Cosmic Trigger' the play went on to a sold-out 5 performance run in London the following week. Plans are being made for an international tour. Keep an eye on cosmictriggerplay.com for details.

Whatever Happened To? #5: Horror Edition Part 1
Sticking with the Halloween theme, I thought I'd look at what a few notable names in the horror movie biz are up to.
Eva Bartok starred in numerous films, notably Mario Bava's classic Blood and Black Lace. This Hungarian actress' life is so fascinating that it deserves a book, rather than just a blurb on a blog. Of particular interest was her longtime devotion to an obscure religious sect called Subud, a spiritual association that evolved around Indonesian mystic Mohammed Subuth. She claims the sect cured her of a tumor and led her to spiritual fulfilment. Much of her life was spent teaching, writing and evangelizing the Subud faith.
Bartok faded into obscurity by the late seventies, but her name resurfaced in 1998 with a claim that her daughter was fathered by none other than Frank Sinatra. Allegedly, fresh from a separation from Ava Gardner, Sinatra had a fling with Bartok. A detailed biography of Bartok can be found here.
Herschell Gordon Lewis was a master of exploitation and gore. His low budget films like Wizard of Gore and Blood Feast have become cult classics, and he has served as an influence to legions of filmmakers. However, Lewis has made a name for himself in a field far removed from his B-grade gorefests. He is a successful direct marketing consultant with dozens of books and articles to his credit. Nowadays he gets payed big bucks to provide companies with consultation on direct market advertising (go to his website here). See an example of one of his marketing books on Amazon here. What a far cry from Color Me Blood Red!
Camille Keaton starred several European horror/giallo films including What Have You Done to Solange? (Cosa avete fatto a Solange?) but it is primarily her role in I Spit on Your Grave (1978) that she is remembered. In the film she plays a woman who is repeatedly brutally assaulted then enacts a bloody revenge. The movie deservedly inspired a lot of attention, much of it negative. Roger Ebert was stricken with disgust calling it "a bag of garbage" and the movie attracts disdain to this day.
Keaton is the grand-niece of Buster Keaton. She began as an Amtrak hostess before acting, a career she pursued through the nineties. In 1993 she married Sidney Luft, a famous Hollywood producer who had been married to Judy Garland! Luft, 35 years her senior, died in 2005, but I'm sure Keaton is doing just fine making do on Luft's immense fortune.
A. Michael Baldwin was the 13 year old boy in Phantasm. He's the son of Gerald Baldwin, who was an animator for The Jetsons, Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Flintstones Christmas and other cartoons. Baldwin delved heavily into Easter mysticism and is the writer and producer of Vice Girls (I'm smirking as I type this). See it here at Amazon.
Teri McMinn starred in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the girl that gets hung on a meat hook). After the movie, she went on to become a leg and foot model. See her leg advertising and other biographical stuff on her website here. It seems she's making a living these days appearing at various conventions.
For an answer to "Whatever Happened To?" horror actresses Dawn Richard (I Was a Teenage Werewolf), Tura Satana (Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) and Yutte Stensgaard (Lust for a Vampire) see an earlier post.

thank you for writing about Éva Bartók! I'm glad to hear those appraising critics about a compatriot of mine!

Keith October 05, 2008
That was really cool. It's interesting to see whatever happened to people. You might seen them in a couple of films. Then it's like they disappear. When I watch movies, I'm all the time looking people up on the internet to see whatever became of them.
VZ1 October 05, 2008
Mina- Your quite welcome! Eva led quite the interesting life.... I wonder if that love child is ol' blue eyes'.
Keith- I find it interesting becaues it's real life - and often stranger than anything you could make up. The fact that a famous Hollywood producer married Judy Garland and then married the chick from I Spit On Your Grave blows my mind. That H.G.Lewis is an internationally recognized and published direct mail expert rocks my world. That the boy from Phantasm wrote and produced Vice Girls freaks me out.... I'm easily startled.
I am planning a H.G. Lewis post soon, along with other movie and music personalities. I want to begin a new category soon on old actors and musicians. I have dabbled in it a bit and want to continue that theme regularly, and Lewis was gonna be one of my 1st, along with William Castle and Roger Corman, as film makers.
I checked your site on IE and it looks okay, but on Mozilla there is still the matter of some images slipping under the sidebar, at least on my computer.
As you know I obsess too over this stuff and eventually have to compromise. I do not know why blogs look different in different browsers. Mine sometimes will all but vanish in IE due to little issues, as you once pointed out to me.
Not the worst problem I suppose. relax for now.

I love that Teri McMinn became a foot and leg model! The last time I saw TCM, as Leatherface grabbed her off the porch and her flip flops went flying, I absent-mindedly thought, "Oh, she's got cute feet." How weird, and, apparently, appropos.
BRILLIANT blog! Keep up the great work!!
