First Look: Inside Oculus 'Arcade' Beta – New Tech Brings Back Games of a Bygone Era
Oculus has today released their much awaited Arcade app, which lets you play a number of original classic arcade titles from Sega, Midway, and Bandai Namco. While you won't need virtual quarters to try out the games for a limited time, every title does have its price.
Hitting the Gear VR store today, Oculus Arcade lets you get your greasy hands on 21 original titles including arcade classics like Joust (1982), Pac-Man (1980), and Galaga (1981). Check out a full list here.
The release of the app comes as a general update to the Gear VR platform in preparation for the first consumer-level Gear VR headset set to launch later this month.
It's ironic in some ways to be using some of the very latest in gaming technology to relive the early days of gaming, but there's a clear allure for the nostalgia. As it turns out, VR is the next best thing to actually building your own classic arcade, or maybe the best thing if you factor in the cost of such a project.
The Arcade lobby, a half exploded arcade-meets-starship, presents you with a choice of three publishers—Sega, Bandai Namco, and Midway. The lobby floor is crumbling away, likely the fault of the iconic aliens from Space Invaders (1978) floating above.
Much like the critically acclaimed NewRetroArcade, atmosphere is dead on, down to the faded astro-carpet and neon lights. However some background noise would add a lot to the experience, and help it from feeling so lonely.

I entered the Sega room by clicking on the banner and was warped to a space packed with some personal favorites from the Sega Genesis (aka 'Mega Drive'): Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Ecco the Dolphin (1992), Shinobi III (1993)—the list goes on, making for 12 games in the room alone. Cabinet art appears to be original.
Oculus has specified a number of gamepads required for play that will work with the new Arcade app, including Samsung's own gamepad, Moga Pro, and SteelSeries controller for Android. My cheap little iPega gamepad worked just fine despite not being on the list of currently supported controllers.
Although you're given a free 20 minutes total with each title in the arcade, you'll need to cough up anywhere from $0.99 to $2.99 for unlimited access with your chosen game.
After 20 minutes of Sonic, I was content parting ways with it (for now), having played massive amounts of it when I was a kid. What I wanted—and I mean actually wanted to own—was Joust.
Joust is addictive—a real quarter-eater of a bygone era. It was a relic even when I was experiencing the decline of arcades in the '90s, so I had to buy it, if only to emulate Wade Watts, the main character of the popular contemporary VR novel Ready Player One (2012). I was expecting Joust to be on the cheaper end of things, considering it's from the early '80s and can essentially be played on a TI-82. Nope. It's a solid $1.99.
Facebook is Retiring Oculus Go, Announces New Content Distribution Platform for Quest
Undeterred, I went through the paying process and now have the most expensive copy of Joust (I've always emulated) that I've ever owned. Payments are processed through your attached credit card (required), and rely on your unique Oculus PIN created when downloading the Gear VR app itself. For forgetful people like me, you can always reset it.
It leaves me questioning whether some of the simpler games like Joust should just be free entirely. And it only took me a 20 more minutes of the unlimited gameplay to realize that, yes, it should be free.
But what I would gladly pay for, over and over mind you, would be the addition of multiplayer, which could make Arcade Oculus' most social app—even moreso than Oculus Social—which allows up to 5 people to connect in a movie theater environment to watch streaming content. VP of product Nate Mitchell told Tested "we've turned on social for all the Oculus Cinema experiences…," but there's still no word on when/if multiplayer will go online for the beta app.
Meanwhile I'll be honing my Joust skills in preparation of a 'Player 2' joining me in Arcade and probably buying another game (begrudgingly).

Two incumbents face three challengers in Naples Selectboard race
Incumbents Jim Grattelo and Kevin Rogers will face Ted Shane, Bob Nyberg and Richard Robinson at the polls July 14.
By Emily BaderSun Journal
NAPLES — Voters this summer will elect two of five candidates for open seats on the Selectboard.
Incumbents James Grattelo and Kevin Rogers face Robert Nyberg, Richard Robinson and Theodore Shane in the race for the two three-year terms. The election is July 14.
James Grattelo
Family: Girlfriend of 15 years, three children, four grandchildren
Occupation: Owner, Portland Sports Complex and Turf's Sports Grill
Political/civic experience: Naples Board of Selectpersons (current chair); Budget Committee, three years; former mayor of Biddeford, 1993-1997
Robert Nyberg
Family: Single
Occupation: "(I've been) a philosopher my whole life, (that's) really my career."
Political/civic experience: Planning Board, Branding Committee, Land Use Committee; "If there's a committee, I've probably been on it."
Kevin Rogers
Occupation: Co-owner, Caretake America
Civic/political experience: Naples Board of Selectpersons, six years; Planning Board, 10 years; Ordinance Review Committee, 16 years
Theodore Shane
Family: Married, two children
Occupation: New Gloucester Public Works director for 14 years
Political/civic experience: Budget Committee; Naples Fire Department, 22 years; former fire chief, 10 years
Marie Kushner withdrew from the race on Monday.
"COVID-19 has destroyed my platform, all the things I wanted to do for the community," the owner of Marie's Kitchen told the Lakes Region Weekly this week, adding that now is not the time to "change the guard."
In what would be Grattelo's second term, he said he hopes to "continue to be a strong voice for the people."
He believes the biggest challenge the town faces is the fast pace of development.
"We need to continue to revise our ordinances and zoning laws to manage that growth and protect the rural character of the town of Naples," he said.
As a selectman, Grattelo has worked on updating ordinances and zoning laws to ensure they align with the town's comprehensive plan.
He said he's "consistent and fair and treats everybody the same. I don't favor citizens over businesses or businesses over citizens" and in doing so, will "continue to be fiscally responsible with the taxpayers' money."
Nyberg is running for his first Selectboard term, but has served on several other town committees.
He believes that one of the biggest challenges facing the town right now is the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Our challenge is to get everything open and get things running again," he said. "With COVID it's dangerous … but to survive, you need businesses."
To tackle this challenge, Nyberg said that the town needs to expand its focus to businesses beyond the Causeway and "make sure all of our businesses and all of our citizens get the attention for what they need."
He said it's "corny," but his question to the community is "how can I be of service?"
"I'm the person who's walked into the Selectboard meeting and asked what I can do to help," he said.
Among his accomplishments, he counts starting the summer farmers market in 2018.
Nyberg said people should vote for him because he "doesn't have any special interests" and that his only interest is to be of service to the community because he wants "to see the town get better."
Rogers said his family has been in Naples for about 200 years and that "leaves me with a moral dedication to try to help any way I can." He said that one of the biggest challenges facing the town is trying to grow the town's businesses and residential development while still maintaining its rural character. He hopes to tackle this by inviting local businesses to the discussion on how to do this, strengthen zoning and hiring a town planner.
In what would be Rogers' third term on the Selectboard, he said he hopes to continue in the positive direction that Naples is heading.
Shane has been a Public Works director for 22 years and said he wants to apply his knowledge from that experience to the Selectboard, where he hopes to tackle budgetary and zoning issues. When asked how he plans to tackle those issues, he said with a "straightforward approach with a full board reviewing the situations."
Shane is a lifelong resident of Naples and said he is going into this election with an open mind and without any personal agenda.
"I want to see the town succeed," he said, and he has the "local taxpayers in mind."
Robinson could not be reached over the course of two weeks for interviews.

Q: Angular $resource: object id lost using POST with custom methods I want to use a custom method in my Foo Factory with a POST call. When I call it as a GET request, it works, but it's deny by my api because it doesn't allow GET for that method.
Request: GET /api/foo/272ee694-b517-4012-b740-98f76973091d/custom_method/ 405
When I change the method to POST (in the angular factory), the object id disapears:
Request: OPTIONS /api/foo/custom_method/ 174
Request: POST /api/foo/custom_method/ 405
Note that this time an OPTION request is made before without the id.
My factory looks like:
appService.factory('foo', ['$resource', 'appConfig',
  function($resource, appConfig){

    var api_path = appConfig.api_path;

    return $resource(api_path + 'foos/:fooId/', {fooId:'@id'},{
      query: {
        method: 'GET',
        isArray: false
      },
      customMethod: {
        method: 'POST',
        url: api_path + 'foos/:fooId/custom_method/'
      }
    });
  }]);

And my controler:
$scope.foo = foo.get({fooId: $routeParams.fooId});

$scope.customMethod = function() {
    foo.customMethod({fooId:$scope.foo.id});
}

Anyone could help me? Thank you in advance

A: So, I found the solution. In the controller, just call custom_method from the object with a $. Like this:
$scope.foo.$custom_method();

You can also omit to pass the id because $resource get it from the object by default.

In Washington state, where in the last few years a new boutique winery has opened quite literally every two to three weeks, winegrowers certainly have their work cut out for them. Luckily, the lush viticultural landscape, with various microclimes and extremely fertile soil creates the perfect atmosphere for grapes. About 350 vineyards prosper easily in Washington, supporting roughly 500 or 600 individual wineries.
Our central location along the north shore of the Columbia gives us easy access to nearby wineries, restaurants, pubs and unique shops. Discounts and packages, come see.
Aniche Cellars is a small family winery located in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Best View in the Gorge!!
Award winning winery in the Columbia River Gorge. Fine red wines produced from this estate vineyard.
Domaine Poullion is a premier, family-owned winery located in Lyle, Washington.
Host your events in the beautiful Gorge Crest Winery! A variety of hosting options for any occasion! Enjoy a decadent wine from the selection.
Come enjoy the taste of consistently wonderful wine at this Washington winery. Wines produced from three vineyards tucked between Mt. Hood and basalt cliffs.
White Salmon Vineyard offers the finest wine from Columbia River Gorge. They deliver across the United States.
It should come as no surprise to those familiar with Washington State's award-winning wines that much of its wine-growing regions exist on the same latitude as those famed Burgundy- and Bordeaux-producing areas in southern France. Second only to California in wine production in the United States, Washington vineyards occupy 31,000 acres in 9 federally-designated appellations, or A.V.A.s (American Viticultural Areas). These beautiful and incredibly productive vineyards yield over 20 premium varietals, including award-winning Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet, and Syrah. Overall, Washington State yields about 44 percent in reds and 56 percent whites.
The Hudson's Bay Company planted the first grapes for wine production in Washington at Fort Vancouver in 1825. Over the next hundred years, Washington experienced the first attempts at large-scale irrigation, and winegrowing flourished in various parts of the state, though exclusively for personal use. The Columbia River Valley Grape Carnival, founded in 1910 along the southern border marked the beginning of widespread Washington wine fever, and, by the 1960s, commercial wine production became a reality. As a result, wine lovers everywhere can appreciate the now $3 billion industry, one glass at a time!

The age old issues of being one person with 2-3 different places to be. I don't know how single parents do it because even with two of us stuff is falling through the cracks. Granted, last night was largely because Ian was sick, but even when not sick he still has several hours of Arabic studying to do each night which cramps my style of Divide & Conquer.
Last night's issue was 6th grade Back to School night at the same time as YOPWs first meeting and rehearsal. Ian passed out on the couch when he got home, so I had to pick which child should feel loved. Since I'm familiar with Saunders MS and some of the teachers, and I'm not at all familiar with the YOPW program, I chose the latter. Here's hoping it doesn't bite me in the butt later. Nicholas was disappointed. I'm sure it's the not going to be the last time.
Honestly, last week was so much easier.
Last week's rain was both awful, awful, awful and a relief. School was off for Labor Day Monday then closed for flooding on Friday. Track try-outs were postponed. A day of Marching Band practice was canceled. Football was canceled all week, and over the weekend too thanks to swamplike fields.
This week we're not so "lucky." Everything is a go.
The fields have drained and football is on again. In case you didn't know, this is Nicholas's only chance to play American football. When we live abroad, Futbol/Football/Soccer is the go-to sport. Rugby in some places, cricket in others, tennis is widespread, swimming is just about everywhere. But football... American football... that's unique to right here.
With the school year started football dropped to 3 practices a week with a game on Saturday. The first game 2 weeks ago didn't go well. Not only did his team lose 21-0, Nicholas played a single kickoff return. I have a sneaky suspicion the stat guy has my kid and some other kid confused as a single individual. I'm not sure how that can happen since they wear jerseys with different numbers and names on them, but it's that or the coaches won't let Nicholas play. Yeah, he's not the most gifted football player on the field. Before this season he'd never played the game at all and if you know his temperament... well, he doesn't have a football player mindset. But part of learning sports through the Dale City clubs is that there is a minimum play time enforced for every player. In basketball that meant every kid played between 3-7 periods in every game. No kid could play all 8 periods, and no kid could sit out the entire time.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how they mark time in football but I assume there's a system. And it's a little broken. I'm willing to forgive it as an oversight for the first game, even though the coach insisted that Nicholas played almost every play. He didn't. I watched. Ian and I were chain gang the entire time so had no option but to monitor every single play. If the same thing happens this coming Saturday, we'll have words. Calm words, but words nonetheless.
If this week is fun, next week will be more so once I add in Religious Ed for Rebecca on Tuesday nights and Track practice/meets if she makes the team. And altar server meetings for the boys which haven't been scheduled yet. And Becca wants to volunteer at the animal shelter.
Monday: 3-5p.m. R Track tryouts, 7-9p.m. 6th grade Orientation, 6:30-9p.m. K YOPW (Nicholas will start YOPW for cello in November)
Tuesday: 2:20-4:20 K Marching Band, 3-5p.m. R Track tryouts, 4:30-5p.m. R Guitar (simply can't make it today so will have to cancel), 7-9p.m. 8th grade Orienation, 6-8p.m. N Football
Wednesday: 2:20-4:20 K Marching Band, 3-5p.m. R Track tryouts (yes, 3 days of tryouts), 6-8p.m. N Football, 6:45-7:15p.m. J Benediction
Thursday: 2:20-4:20 K Marching Band, 6-9p.m. K Volunteer at hospital (she volunteers 2-3x a month)
Friday: 5:30-11p.m. K Football Game, 6-8p.m. N Football
Saturday: K has a Marching Band competition and N has a Football game.
I know it's like this in every family. Writing it out makes me feel better and more pulled together. I have a wall where everything goes as it comes home... master schedules, doctor appointments, repetitive items like lessons and practices.
I also have a wall where a single week is easy to see and edit. I should update it each Sunday night but I haven't gotten into that routine yet. I started this over the summer, papers labeled Monday-Saturday (Sunday is usually left free), laminated all in a row, and filled in with whiteboard markers. This is a quick glance sort of thing... is it an A day or a B day? Red day or a Blue day? Who is buying lunch? Is there a lesson/practice after school?
In theory every entry is color-coordinated by kid. In reality it's whatever marker I grab from the box, though typically something that's important and for everyone goes in red. Or green. Like I said, whichever color is handy and functioning is what gets used.
School year 2011-2012... here we go.
Where's that clone I ordered?

Der Krumspreeische Kreis, auch Lübbenischer Kreis oder Lübbener Kreis genannt, war ein Kreis in der sächsischen Niederlausitz, der sich im 14./15. Jahrhundert herausbildete und in dieser Form bzw. Zuschnitt bis 1816 existierte. Hauptort des Kreises war die Stadt Lübben. Das ehemalige Kreisgebiet ist heute verteilt auf die brandenburgischen Landkreise Dahme-Spreewald, Spree-Neiße, Oberspreewald-Lausitz und Oder-Spree.

Geschichte
In der Niederlausitz begann die Herausbildung der Kreise im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert. Sie orientierte sich an der alten Weichbildverfassung, d. h. den Gerichtsbezirken der zur Standschaft berechtigten Städte. 1372 werden in einer Urkunden die Mannen genannt, die in dem Weichbild zu Guben gesessen sind und in dem Gericht der Krummen Spree. 1411 heißt es: die Mannen, Ritter und Knechte der Weichbilder Luckau, Calau, Guben, Sommerfeld und in der Krummen Spree. 1444 wird von den Luckauischen, Calauischen und Lübbenischen Weichbild geredet und 1449 heißt es: in den Gerichten und Pflegen Luckau, Calau und Golßen, in den Gerichten und Pflegen zu Guben und Sommerfeld, in der Krummen Spree.

Schon früh bildeten sich in diesen Gerichtsbezirken ritterschaftliche Verbände heraus. Sie waren im Krumspreeischen Kreis jedoch schwach vertreten, da der größte Teil des Kreises von den Ämtern Lübben und Neu Zauche, dem Ordensamt Friedland sowie den drei großen Standesherrschaften Straupitz, Lieberose und Leuthen eingenommen wurde. Auch zur Stadt Lübben gehörte ein nicht gerade kleines Territorium. Die Fläche des Kreises war im Nordosten zudem durchsetzt mit einigen Exklaven des Gubenischen Kreises.

1790 hatte der Krumspreeische Kreis 17.376 Einwohner. 1809 zählte der Krumspreeische Kreis 20.000 Einwohner.

In der Kreisreform von 1816 wurde der Krumspreeische Kreis mit der Herrschaft Beeskow zum neuen Lübbenschen Kreis vereinigt. Dabei fand eine Art Flurbereinigung statt. Der neue Kreis erhielt die in seinem Gebiet liegenden Exklaven anderer Kreise. Der Kreis in diesem Zuschnitt hatte aber nur bis 1835 Bestand. Dann wurde die frühere Herrschaft Beeskow zum größeren Teil wieder abgetrennt. 1835 war auch der 1816 gebildete Kreis Teltow-Storkow wieder aufgelöst worden; der Kreis Teltow wurde wieder hergestellt. Die ehemaligen Herrschaften Beeskow und Storkow wurden nun zum Kreis Beeskow-Storkow vereinigt, der bis 1950 Bestand hatte.

Tyra Banks is back on the cover of Sports Illustrated after 23 years
All hail!
By Christobel Hastings
Thursday 9 May 2019
After making history as the first African American model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit back in 1997, Tyra Banks is back to reclaim her throne.
The iconic model and America's Next Top Model creator has made her return to the publication for the first time in 23 years since making headlines for her groundbreaking cover for the prestigious swimsuit edition, and, unsurprisingly, she looks incredible.
The new issue, which is aptly themed "Shattering Perceptions", pictures the 45-year-old looking fierce in a yellow Andi Bagus bikini in Great Exuma, Bahamas, photographed by Laretta Houston.
A post shared by Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks)
The beauty mogul unveiled the cover during an appearance on Good Morning America, where she introduced her latest mission to spread all-inclusive beauty by coming out of retirement.
Banks, who now goes by the professional name of Banx, explained that her new moniker stands for "X-cookie cutter beauty. It's about all ages, all sizes, all colours, all everything."
"There is this stereotype that only a 20-year-old woman in a bikini is hot," Banks told Sports Illustrated. "Like once we reach a certain age, we are no longer desirable. But I want to show that modelling has no age. I'm coming out of retirement to practice what I preach."
"Since Tyra's first cover in 1996, she's transformed herself into nothing less than a mogul, a cultural force and a supernova of inspiration and empowerment," said SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day. "She's kind of the Swimsuit Issue ethos come to life, everything we know this franchise can be."
Sports Illustrated has been making waves recently for its game-changing cover stars. Earlier in the year, the magazine welcomed its first Polynesian model, Veronica Pome'e, onto its pages, while last month, Somali-American model Halima Aden made history as the first-ever Muslim model to appear in the iconic swimsuit issue wearing a hijab and burkini.
We'll be keeping our eyes firmly fixed on SI in the meantime, as there's certain to be more empowering covers to come.

It can be a wonderful thing to set a goal and work towards it.

Record-breaking numbers at open house hint at promising future for college
December 4, 2013 February 15, 2015 Adrienna Rowe	0 Comments
Equestrian Studies and Veterinary Medical Technology programs received much attention this year, as evidenced by the number of students who plan to attend open house on Nov. 23.
The Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College, President Mistick, and the Board of Trustees decided last spring to transform Wilson from a women's college into a co-educational institution. This decision was only one among many made to ensure the financial sustainability of the college, but it is the most controversial. For many students, the change caused anxiety as they worried whether or not their school made the wrong choice.
However, the change boosted the number of applicants considering Wilson College and the college has received more attention than it has in past years.
Brittany Martinez '17 said, "I haven't seen many guys getting tours on campus, but I have seen a lot of girls getting tours. I think that the change in co-education has attracted more girls to the college."
The Equine and VMT programs are a popular attraction for incoming students. However the Admissions office has changed the way in which they recruit new students.
Director of Admissions and Wilson alumna Patricia Beidel '82 said, "Admissions is using a new program to reach out to high school seniors using the web to look for colleges. Our college now will match up to what students are searching for, along with other colleges useful to the high school senior."
"Employees in the admissions office are working really hard; we never have free time anymore. We don't even have enough time to get to all the students needing information," said Beidel.
Wilson increased marketing efforts for the college, as advertisements promoting the school now appear in veterinary and equine magazines, highway billboards, and radio commercials.
"The admissions office is using the new program and mass push in advertising to reach the numbers the College must reach to break even or see some type of revenue," said Beidel.
The Open house's record-breaking projection is a welcomed relief for all those who worried over Wilson's fate.
Emma Miller '17 said "I'm happy to see more students taking tours around campus. Knowing about the college's past low enrollment, I hope the college can really benefit from admissions efforts."

I went, as many others, my separate way… raised a family, and moved on… but a part of me, my Sailor's Soul, will always be underway… somewhere… in the darkness, on a fast destroyer making turns for 30 knots, heading for distant waters.


Last updated: September 14, 2010 at 4:58 pm. Posted Tuesday, September 14, 2010 by Las Vegas Blog Staff in Harrah's Las Vegas, Las Vegas Casinos, Las Vegas Shows. Comments Off on Mac King is On Fire at Harrah's (Literally).
During a recent visit to the Mac King Show at Harrah's Las Vegas, we violated several no-photography policies and captured the magician's near-death experience onstage.
Just another day at the office/showroom.
As one point in his show, Mac King sets fire to several numbered envelopes on a small silver platter (see above).
Then, while the fire is still blazing, he puts the platter into his jacket pocket!
Ah, the envigorating fragrance of singed human flesh.
While Mac King has done this particular move approximately 5,200 times, he must still get quite a thrill when stray flames nearly ignite his face and neck.
Actually, King was never in any real danger, but that doesn't sound quite as exciting as "the magician's near-death experience," does it?
The great news is that Mac King has extended his contract at Harrah's through 2015. The jovial jester of jocularity and legerdemain (yes, we're trademarking that phrase as you read this) is currently celebrating his tenth year at Harrah's.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has named Mac King's show the "Best Bargain Show" for seven straight years (2003-2010).
Yay, for five more years of invisibility! Sort of.
Read our illuminating story on the many faces of Mac King.


OK… So after several visits to the dentist to save my tooth; a cap, a root canal, and now… gonna yank that puppy out. Eeeek. I know ya'll wanted to know this and be it me to deny you that info.
Ether was the way to go. Put the child out n' under. Probe and poke and pull.
The nose fills with burn of decay and old rot hidden beneath silver amalgam.
Make way for the silver sharp probe of dig and drill. The clean away of dead.
Terror slips away to acceptance with the old shiver of fear behind closed eyes.
Some parts of me just have to go with a life well spent on chewing.
Get it out. It's done holding it's space in this mouth.
I am having MEGA work done at the moment so this was very topical for me right now. I won't even begin to tell you my story, it is a horror one. Have a good day.
Sending you Love and Light during the horror of. It is really not a pleasant thing to have my mouth probed and pulled at. Fortunately, I have a wonderful dentist.
I had my first, and so far only, "permanent" tooth pulled a few years ago. I was glad it was all the way in the back and the lack is not obvious. Still, it depressed me in a way I still can't express. It's not as though it was the BEGINNING of my dissolution yet it made me feel inexplicably older with the loss of it. Sometimes my tongue still finds it's way there and the loss still tinges a bit.

You Suck! 5 Tips For Dealing With Negative Comments About Your Music
Posted by Hypebot - January 20, 2020
Polaris Music Prize Founder And Executive Director Steve Jordan Announces He's Stepping Down


It's official: School's out for the Summer!
It was easily the fastest school year ever! I mean, I swear they just started. But as of 3:50 PM, Dylan and Lexie joined Lily and Liam on Summer Break. They reluctantly said their goodbyes to their friends and their absolutely amazing teachers, and they headed home for a Summer full of fun!
5th Grade was a tough transition for Dylan AND for me. Everybody warned us, but I guess I was in denial.
The work load was intense and Dylan's great grades didn't come as easily this year as they have in the past. Dylan had to work hard to get good grades. He had to learn organizational skills and he HAD to study. It was a wake up call for both of us and it took several months before he found his groove. I found myself, along with many other friends walking this path for the first time, often saying "I HATE 5th Grade!!!"
In our school district, the 5th and 6th grade building is very much like a junior high. The kids are starting to join cliques and the rules are strict. School isn't as much fun anymore because it isn't elementary school.
If I'm going to be completely honest, I'm not a fan of this setup. Kids in 5th and 6th grade are still kids and I feel like Dylan was forced to grow up faster than he should have this year. I really did notice a difference between him and family members and friends his age who were attending a traditional K-6 school. This year was about his clothes, his hair, how he looked, and girls. I certainly wasn't ready to deal with that stuff THIS early!
Thankfully, Dylan enjoyed going to school. We had a rough patch at the beginning, but he soon adjusted. He had great friends and he adored his teacher. He had an incredibly supportive teacher who helped him out along the way. I can only hope that one of my other children is lucky enough to have her for a teacher someday!
Lexie, on the other hand, breezed through 3rd Grade!
Lexie loves school! On the two days that we forced her to stay home because she was sick, she begged to go. It definitely helped that she had an awesome teacher who made each day fun!
Lexie excels at school. She was a "model third grader" according to her teacher and she took pride in her hard work and excellent grades. Lexie came home with fun stories to share about her teacher and her friends each afternoon and was excited to go to school every single day. Any teacher that can inspire a child in that way is a hero in my book! I'm really hoping that Lily and/or Liam have him as a teacher in the future. If only every teacher Lexie gets could have his dedication and enthusiasm!
It was an amazing school year for Lexie!
I'm so proud of BOTH of my kids for their hard work this year. When I looked at them before they headed to school this morning, I couldn't help but wonder, "Where did time go?" They truly looked so grown up and it happened in the blink of an eye!
When I did the traditional first day of school/last day of school comparison, the changes were evident. Especially with Dylan! Who are these big kids and where did my babies go?!?
These big kids got off the bus this afternoon and their enthusiasm was lacking. Dylan's tween attitude was in full force. He's just too cool these days. He thrives on going to school and seeing his friends, but he was too cool to admit that he would miss his friends and his teacher. Lexie was crying because she ALREADY missed school, she missed her friends and she missed her teacher. She just didn't want school to end and her emotions were spilling over. I just stood there, completely stunned. Where was their last day of school excitement???
But I get it. I understand how difficult it is to say goodbye to something you know. They trusted and loved their teachers and felt completely comfortable in their classrooms. It's hard to face the unknown of another year ahead of them and only hope that they win the teacher lottery again.
I get it, because that's how I feel, too. I liked how things were. Time is moving entirely too quickly and I'm trying desperately to hold on to life as it is at this very moment and I'm not succeeding whatsoever. Time...and my kids...are slipping out of my grasp much faster than I like.
But that's the point of raising kids, isn't it? It's incredibly bittersweet. You want them to grow and thrive but it's just so hard to let go of the past.
And here we are. 5th Grade and 3rd Grade are officially over. It seemed like decades before we would reach this point and now I'm just wondering where time went!
I'm looking forward to Summer Break with my kids. I just want to spend time with them and enjoy the NOW.
I just hope I don't lose my sanity along the way...I'm just keeping it real.
I have three kids camping out in our living room for their first night of Summer Break. The oldest two bickered all afternoon. The tween couldn't control his attitude and lost his iPod. The 9 year old cried all evening about school being over. The toddler is trying to fight off a fever. In the morning, my niece will be arriving to spend the day with us. And did I mention that it's now 3:30 AM?
In just a few hours, Camp Mom is about to begin! My kids, and their cousins and friends who will be spending most weekdays with us (I told you I was crazy), have a fun Summer ahead of them. I've been browsing my Pinterest boards, writing down ideas, shopping for supplies and loosely planning our weeks.
I tried to stick to the same plan each week: Two outings, one craft, one recipe and one DIY activity. It was a lot of work, but I managed to come up with enough ideas for each Summer weekday plus a few extras, just in case! The best part is that none of it is time-consuming and most things can be done at any time throughout the day!
Stay tuned...I'll be sharing the project next Tuesday and I'm going to attempt to recap each week of Camp Mom fun throughout the Summer!
My hope is to make memories with my kids over the Summer and enjoy each day. Before I know it, Fall will be here and all FOUR of my kids will be heading to school. I'm holding on to the now with all my might!
ALL FOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. I can't even think about that without crying! Motherhood is a tough gig!
Love their last day pictures! Sweet Lexie for crying that the year is over. Love her. So 5th grade is something I need to look forward to huh? What a big change for Dylan and goodness the tween stuff is for real. My aunt claims it crazy. You are going to have your hands full this summer, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what all you do.
5th grade is TOUGH! Definitely the toughest year so far. Age 11 is also the toughest age. I would rather deal with 10 newborns than a tween with an attitude!
Isn't it just so bittersweet!! I love summer almost as much as my kids do. No waking up to an alarm clock, no homework, no packing lunches. I can't believe how fast the time is going these days. Love these pictures!
I was SO excited to pack away the lunchboxes for a few months!
Great pictures! You are exactly right; parenthood is so bittersweet. I spend half of my time waiting for the next step in their life and half of my time wishing we were in the previous stage. I really need to live in the moment. I hope you guys have a great summer and Camp Mom is super successful!
That is exactly right! I feel the same way.
Let's see if I survive Camp Mom!
Dylan sure did mature from the beginning of the year. Wow. Lexie is as adorable as ever!
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve this summer!
I'll be sharing week one on Tuesday...I hope! Ha!
Feel free to swipe away. I tried to add in activities that we have never done before to keep things fun!
His hair is SO different. I think I'd agree with you too on not loving the set-up. Let them be little as long as they can!
Good job kiddos! Enjoy your summer.
Little is easier! Trust me. This is new territory for me and the tween hormones are tough to deal with!
Love your realness! I have four and the oldest 2 boys are almost 10, and almost 11 and it is tough. Attitude one minute and kind and sweet the next. I also have an emotional 7 year old girl and our 4 year old has spastic quad cp so it is always interesting!! You are a great momma and thanks for always keeping it real!
Oh my goodness, you have your hands full!
That's what bothers me the most about the tween stage. He can be so sweet and mature then turn into tween with an attitude the next minute. I don't get it!!!
Thank you so much, Chrissy! XOXO He had his first "face-time date" with a classmate today. I didn't realize what it was until I saw him in action. I am not ready for this one bit!
Wow, Dylan changed SO much this year! I didn't realize how much more mature he looked until I saw your comparison pics! You are so right - parenting is so bittersweet!
I didn't notice it until then, either! These kids are growing up too fast!

Our dentists try to save natural teeth, and one of the most common methods is a root canal procedure. First, the infection is carefully removed from inside the tooth, which is then sterilized, and finally, topped off with a crown.
We're proud to offer same-day crowns—we can fabricate and place a crown in just one appointment!

Clear aligners are removable for eating, drinking, or when you just need a break.
It takes an average of one year to achieve optimal results.
Get the perfectly aligned smile you've always wanted.
Since every dental situation isn't the same, clear aligner systems are not the appropriate orthodontic solution for every patient, so we also offer traditional braces. Scientific advancements have led to improvements in the wire and bracket version of braces, too.

We'd love to end anxiety and dental phobia for our patients–so we're proud to offer sedation dentistry.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) allows patients to drive themselves home.
Oral sedation just means taking a pill in advance. Boom! You're relaxed!
IV sedation is available for longer, more complicated procedures.
We can help with jaw pain, headaches, snoring, and sleep solutions!
Snoring is only a symptom. Sleep apnea doesn't just compromise sleep, it has adverse effects on your health. Unsuccessful with or don't want a CPAP? Every doctor at Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry can administer oral appliance therapy.
We take emergency appointments—ask for details. We also have some of the most cutting-edge dental technology available to assist us with accurate diagnoses, precise restorations, and the most stunning smiles you'll find anywhere in all of Texas.


Rawson Marshall Thurber's raunchy R-rated comedy We're the Millers starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston opens today, aiming to please comedy fans who's been generally underwhelmed by comedies this year. The "family" roadtrip comedy also stars Emma Roberts, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Offerman, Ed Helms and Will Poulter. The film is opening Wednesday (with Tuesday sneaks) ahead of a crowded weekend that also features the action thriller Elysium, teen sequel Percy Jackson, and Disney's Planes.
Let's face it, it hasn't been a great summer for comedy. In fact, the year hasn't been great for comedy films (at least those that don't star Melissa McCarthy…). The Hangover III underperformed at $112m as did The Internship at just $44m. This is The End exceeded expectations critically and at the box office with $96m, but aside from a Happy Madison sequel successful live action comedies weren't really a thing this summer. Jennifer Aniston is always good with this kind of material and Jason Sudeikis has been drawing positive comparisons to early film roles from Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. So, there's certainly an opportunity for a breakout hit.
We're the Millers has been relying on a social-media oriented push, and surprisingly hasn't emphasized that the film features not one but two stars from the hit comedy Horrible Bosses. You'd think that audiences would be ready for a non-sequel comedy with an edge, but most films have underperformed this summer so it's hard to say what to expect. Let's say anything above $30m is good and anything under $20 isn't.
The filmed opened to $6.8m on Wednesday, including $1.7m from Tuesday night. So it would seem the film is well on it's way to being a hit.
In any case, if you've seen We're the Millers leave a comment below. Meanwhile, here are some photos from the film's premiere.
The "bump" heard round the world?

Seth Gordon's TV-producing commitments forced him to drop out of directing Horrible Bosses 2. I'd be guessing Warner is already putting an offer out to Rawson Thurber, especially since We're The Millers debut night numbers were impressive.
Thurber would be a good choice. I was thinking it might be the kind of thing where they offer the directing slot to Jason Bateman as some sort of perk or something.
We're The Millers was ok. A moderate 3/5, some decent laughs, not the strongest script though. Impressed that Sudeikis could carry the film as a Lead.
I enjoyed it more than Rick did. For me, more than the sum of the parts. Great work from the actors, especially Sudeikis, Offerman, and Hahn. Helms seemed to be having a blast. I laughed a lot.


Stop whipping that cream! You'll beat it into butter!!
Then start up the machine. The first step on the road, after about 30 seconds, is whipped cream. It's a little shy of perfectly fluffy, but you get the idea.
Another 20 seconds and we're already past the point of no return for dessert topping. The master pastry chef you're apprenticing with is preparing to garnish your wages.
30 more seconds and we're really far gone. You can see from the texture that peppercorn-sized "butter grains" are already starting to form.
Not much past that, say 15 more seconds, and the butter grains have formed. You can see buttermilk pooling at the bottom. The "churning" process has done all it's going to do.
…and get to work kneading. This doesn't take long, since all you're really doing is squeezing out any last pockets of buttermilk.
About 30 seconds of this and it's done, you can see I've squeezed out quite a bit more liquid.
And here you have it, as fresh a mound of butter as you'll find anywhere. Beautifully clean and bright tasting.
Of course as I said, this isn't quite how it happens in a creamery, but it's close enough for demonstration. I caution that while I'll be slathering this across a slice of bread at dinner this evening, I won't be making laminated dough out of it, since there's probably too much moisture in it. However I would certainly make a pie or a tart crust with it, and maybe I just will this weekend. I can hear it now: did you make this pie yourself, Joe? Darn right, I even made the butter!
Try this yourself sometime if you can, because it is really a thrill, and one of the many little miracles of the food world. You don't even need a food processor. A clean mayonnaise jar with a marble inside (plus several kids willing to shake the thing for half an hour) is all it takes.

High Fashion Comes to Cherokee Street at Bespoke
Posted By Emily Higginbotham on Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 7:00 AM
PHOTO BY KELLY GLUECK
Dorothy Jones pins a dress.
When Victoria Cates moved to St. Louis from New York last year, her plan was to launch a fashion business using her embroidery skills — her first great adventure.
In the process, Cates, 30, met Dorothy Jones, owner of Bespoke, a made-to-measure clothing boutique on the corner of Ohio and Cherokee. Jones, 60, was at a different stage in her life's journey. After 30-plus years of traveling from coast to coast, bouncing around the theatrical costume shops on Broadway and running her own corset-making business in San Francisco and Rhode Island, Jones and her husband Mark Nevelow had moved to St. Louis in 2005. Opening the shop last November was, she says, their last great adventure.
For Jones, Bespoke represented a chance at real creativity after years of making patterns for other manufacturers. Each piece of clothing is custom-fit for each client — something that's generally only true of the priciest couture fashion.
"I started doing custom clothing again because the corsets were boring. Ultimately it's the same thing over and over again," she says. "To do a sample, to do a prototype, to do the costing, to do the pattern that could go to a factory—that service isn't really available here, and I just accidentally ended up here with it. I just realized I'd rather do it for myself."
In pursuit of that dream, in 2014, Jones and Nevelow acquired the space for the store on Cherokee. The couple spent a year and a half renovating the building. (They were, Nevelow say, "completely and totally deranged" for taking it on.) But despite starting with a basement full of dead pigeons and a hole through the roof, Bespoke now has all the charm and character that you might expect from a niche shop in the city's artsiest district.
It only looks like an upscale boutique, though, in the front. Just beyond the display of finished products is Jones' workshop, where everything is still very much in progress. The space is consumed by four long tables, all cluttered with scraps of fabric, rulers, sewing machines and spools of thread. Long rolls of sample fabric hang along the walls, along with collages made from fashion magazine clippings. Half-finished garments are pinned onto the dressmakers sporadically arranged around the workshop. It's in this space where Jones and her two other workers hand-make affordable and customizable couture for their customers.

When costumers come into the shop, they can peruse the basic shapes and patterns on offer, which Bespoke can make in sizes up to 20. "There are people everywhere who have no ability to walk into a store and buy something that fits and looks good. Very few people are fit model size," says Jones. No matter the size you wear, she emphasizes, you deserve fashion.
Once customers see something they like, they can have it adjusted to their desired fit. But unlike at a regular tailor, the customer can then take on the role of designer: adding a collar, sleeves, a neckline—whatever they'd like.
"We're not designers. We're engineers. We make good shapes and our customers are designers," says Nevelow. "In a way it's like the opposite of fashion. The fashion industry is about people dreaming up what you should wear, and we don't."
Victoria Cates
It wasn't long after Jones and Nevelow opened their doors in November 2015 that Cates walked in looking for a job. She was looking for something to support herself while figuring out her place in the fashion industry. In New York, she'd done beadwork for a company doing couture accessories.
"Through the process of working for them I started to love hand embroidering," Cates says. "I thought I was going to end up being a designer in a corporate, [computer-aided design] work and type of design, and I just couldn't stand the thought of it."
After Cates helped her sister and a friend move to St. Louis to start their own boutique, she was inspired to stay. "There is so much creative energy here and it's not what I expected," she says. "The people I met were so encouraging and open-minded to what new things could be brought in here, and so I felt like that's exactly where I need to be right now."
When Cates met Jones, the connection was instant. "We sort of just geeked out over everything," Cates says. "We have the same interests and values about fashion."
In Cates, Jones saw a talent that reminded her of her work back in the costume shops in New York. It's the kind of craft that you can't find in the U.S. anymore, Jones says. "She walks in the door with this skill, this miraculous skill that I might not see again, and I'm like, 'I don't care what happens, let's find a way to work together.'"
That sentiment has become a fashion line, which the women plan to release at a show at Bespoke on April 29. The event is called Amare Elementorum, and the theme is a cabinet of curiosities. It will be a casual reception with wine, cookies and a playlist to set the celebratory mood.
The collection is a mixture of different styles for women: it features both upscale evening wear and simple linen dresses embellished with a splash of color from Cates' embroidery. Dresses, separates, and even a jumpsuit are part of the mix.
All of the pieces incorporate an embroidered piece inspired by their theme: vibrant beadings of sea slugs, a coral reef formation and whatever other creatures Jones and Cates imagine crawling around in the ocean's depths.

Jones works on a silk dupioni dress that is fashioned with Cate's intricate, coral-reef-like beadwork.
During a recent morning at the shop, one of the dresses for the show is draped on a dummy, pinned up in its incomplete state. The dress is made from rich, red silk dupioni, which Jones sources from a mill in India. The neckline of the sleeveless gown cuts diagonally across the chest, and that diagonal movement is repeated again in the midriff where it's been pleated three times. The pleats are fixed with beaded buttons, each fashioned with a colorful sequence and beads made to look like coral reefs. The buttons hold up portions of the dress, making the embroidery integral to the dress' design. It's a beautiful piece.
Cates calls the show their runway collection, without a runway. At the show, the pieces will be displayed on dummies, reinforcing the idea that this kind of couture is not just for stick-thin models.
The idea is to show the extent of what they could do for customers, and then tone it down and make it wearable. Magnifying glasses will be on hand so that guests can get an even closer look at the intricate beadwork.
The collaboration between Jones and Cates will be ongoing. They both want to spend the rest of their respective adventures making something one-of-a-kind for each customer that comes through the door.
"People have forgotten that clothing can be very precious because it has become a commodity. It's an object that comes out of the box as it is, and it was made by them over there," Jones says. "But you put it on your body and it reflects who you are, and people make judgments about you based on what that is. It's actually a very intimate part of you and a really lovely way to express something, if you can get something that's yours. It's not that hard, it's just that people have forgotten that they can do it."
And from an unlikely spot smackdab in the middle of flyover country, the two designers are making a beautifully embroidered argument that you can do just that.
"I love St. Louis. It is such an easy town to take a chance in. It's the best thing about it because you're not hauling all of the overhead of the coasts on your back," says Jones. "You can financially make it work here and it's such a welcoming community.
"If you've got a weird idea, they're like, 'Really? Can we come sit next to you? Can we do it with you?' We've been here 11 years now, but obviously now that we own this beast, this is where we're staying."

David Bowie's estate sells publishing rights to songs for over $350 million

David Bowie's estate has sold the late rock star's entire back catalogue for more than $350 million to Warner Chappel Music.
The catalogue has over six decades' worth a material including Bowie's iconic hits such as Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Heroes and Let's Dance.
David Bowie dies aged 69
George Michael, Bowie captured on video together
"These are not only extraordinary songs, but milestones that have changed the course of modern music forever," Guy Moot, the chief executive of Warner Chappell, said in a statement.
Bowe, who was born David Jones in 1947 was one of the most influential musicians of his generation, releasing an album a year during the 1970s including Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane and Station to Station.
He continued making music up to his death, recording Blackstar shortly before he died of cancer in 2016.
The deal between Bowie's estate and Warner Music includes songs from the 26 studio albums released during his lifetime, as well as the posthumous studio album release "Toy".
Warner Music did not disclose the financial terms of the deal in its announcement on Monday, but a source said the purchase was worth about $250 million.
Bowie's estate had in September signed a deal that gave Warner Music global rights to the artist's catalog from 1968 through 2016.
Bowie shot to fame in Britain in 1969 with "Space Oddity," whose words he said were inspired by watching Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey" while stoned.
But it was his 1972 portrayal of a doomed bisexual rock envoy from space, "Ziggy Stardust", that propelled him to global stardom.
The deal for his catalog is the latest in the media rights sector, where companies have sought to boost royalties by purchasing artists' catalogs after the pandemic hit physical revenue streams and delayed release of new recordings.
Warner Music, home to musicians such as Cardi B, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars, has also partnered with popstar Madonna to relaunch her entire catalog over the next few years.
Its deal with Bowie's estate comes days before the rock star's 75th birth anniversary on Jan. 8.

Big Hit Entertainment BTS Dance diary Music video ReactionBTS BTS Black Swan dance diary dance in hawaii dance journal Hawaii dance class Hawaii loves kpop Kpop blog kpop blogger kpop dance class Kpop in Hawaii
Dance Diary: BTS 'Black Swan'
I wanted to dance BTS's "Black Swan" choreography ever since they debuted it in the United States on James Corden's "Late Late Show" on Jan. 28.
After putting in my request at our beginner K-pop dance class, I finally had the opportunity to learn the last chorus during a Hawaii Dance Bomb class on Feb. 10. I was hoping we could get to the end of the song but unfortunately we couldn't. I was hoping for a follow-up class, but that looks unlikely.
We took so much time to learn just a brief segment that we ran out of time to record the dance as a class as usual. Afterward I wanted to film a reaction to the video with one of my friends in the class, and when we finished we decided to give the dance one more try and see how much of it we could remember. It's funny how so much is forgotten the minute we walk out the door, and after no more than a half hour we struggled to remember which parts came next.
? We tried a little bit of the last chorus at the end of this vid:
Anyway, because BTS performed the dance barefoot, I went barefoot the whole class—which was pretty typical every time I took a modern or contemporary dance class—and continued to dance it barefoot on the concrete outside.
I was afraid it might be painful but because it is more of a modern dance piece there were no jumps that might have caused pain. A few weeks ago I tried to learn Dawn's "Money" by myself, and even on a wood floor it became painful because of all the jumps he does.
? BTS "Black Swan"
Just watching the dance ahead of time, I knew it would be painful in other ways, such as trying to match their wide and low stance. The flexing of their backs made me realize it was an area I had to work on because my back is too stiff to get the arch and flow of their swanlike stretches. I spent about three days trying to stretch and flex my back without the help of an exercise ball, which I really should get. I also kept up my plies and tendus, adding squats, just to prepare for a few minutes of dance! Even though classes are an hour long, about 15 minutes is spent in warmup and socializing, and much of the time we are walking through the moves. We are only dancing at 100 percent for about 10 to 15 minutes.
This dancer outlines differences between major Korean entertainment company dance styles. I favor sexy SM style and Big Hit (BTS) style, but this explains why I feel so tired and hurt so much every time after dancing BTS! Turn on subtitles.
Yet … a day after class my muscles were aching, from my core to back of my thighs. I mean, BTS puts a lot of rigor into the dance but I hadn't felt pain after a dance class in a long time so I thought I had done enough prep. That just shows how grueling BTS choreography continues to be. I haven't hurt for a long time after many of the other boy dances that call for a lot of powerful and rapid movements. When I look at the video of myself, I see I'm putting in a quarter of the energy BTS puts into their performances.
I know the millions-strong ARMY already respects and admires BTS, but if they tried their dances they would respect them even more.

BTS 'Map of the Soul: 7 Shadow: Interlude' shows Suga's power
HONOLULU — In my corner of the world, people seem to need three weeks to recover from the holiday season, as slowly the social calendar is beginning to fill up with events.
But K-pop never rests, and in my anguish over the terrible treatment of X1 and their disbandment and the excitement of Treasure being liberated from its prison at YG, I overlooked the Jan. 7 announcement that BTS will drop the next chapter of its "Map of the Soul" series on Feb. 21.
Pre-orders for "Map of the Soul: 7" is going on now, and two days later Big Hit Entertainment released a beautiful comeback trailer, "Interlude : Shadow," featuring Suga (Min Yoongi). This song makes me feel really sad to think of all that he and BTS have been through to get where they are, only to find how lonely it is at the top.
Ah, it's so good, but I'm glad I didn't know this was going to be out ahead of time. I probably would have tried to record a reaction video and end up crying as soon as his singing kicked in.
So instead, check out this explainer from DKDKTV's Danny Kim on the Jungian perspective that defines the "Map of the Soul," and a music producer's perspective on the song.

Music video Reaction Television X1best kpop Jinhyuk Kpop blog kpop blogger kpop reaction lee jin hyuk Produce X 101
Reaction: Lee Jin Hyuk 'I Like That'
Wanted to try making a reaction video, and couldn't think of a better place to start than with Lee Jin Hyuk's solo debut song and music video, "I Like That."
I teamed up with my friend, filmmaker Titus Chong, for the video, a 10-year K-pop fan vs. my year-and-a-half status. He sees the big picture of K-pop while I admit I tend to be a solo stan, picking and choosing just a handful of favorite groups and individuals.
For those watching the video, for whom K-pop is a foreign subject, this is Jin Hyuk's story.
He debuted as a member of Up10tion in 2015, but the group had only moderate success, which led him and Kim Woo Seok to join the cast of the K-pop survival show, "ProduceX101" earlier this year. Although the show is intended to allow the public to "discover" and vote for new faces who would go on to form the group X1, the two among a handful of similarly already debuted individuals whose groups were only moderately successful. Perhaps unfair to newbie trainees, all the already debuted individuals did quite well on the show.
From the beginning of the show, I was a huge fan of newcomers Kim Yo Han from Oui Entertainment, and Song Hyeongjun from Starship Entertainment. Yo Han and Woo Seok quickly became consistent rivals for the Top 2 out of 101 spots.
I didn't really notice Jin Hyuk until midway through the run, when he knew he had to make a move to get noticed. During one of the battles for position (rap, vocal, dance, X), he took on the difficult X-challenge of having to show skill in two areas. He picked rap and dance.
He expected stellar individuals would be joining his team. But he was wrong. The most talented individuals, who could choose their songs first, opted to play it safe and stick to one specialty. The ones on the bottom had no choice but were stuck with the difficult double-tasks that no one else wanted to risk. So Jin Hyuk was really stuck with the worst performers that he had to train in both rap and dance. At times it looked like he would lose his mind and there was no hope, but miraculously, he pulled it off, and it cemented his place in viewers (voters) hearts, which only continued as he was able to show more facets of his personality as the cameras began to focus on him.
? I made this mini video for Jin Hyuk after "ProduceX101″ended:
He even reached the No. 1 spot. So it came as quite a shock to everyone, when after consistent placement in the Top 3 for several weeks, during the finale he fell to 11th place and was eliminated. As I said in the video, it was such a shock that I cried for seven days, as did many others who said they couldn't sleep.
Sleuthing fans who could not believe the finals results, started adding up the public vote numbers and found quite an anomaly, such that there is a continuing investigation into the allegation of rigged voting that ended up subbing in two to three members illegally because the public had to pay to cast their votes. You can read more about the scandal here.
In previous years, Jin Hyuk would have been the 11th member of the group, but the rule was changed this year to include the "X," with the 11th spot reserved for the one with the X-factor, someone who didn't make the top team but had accumulated the most votes through the show's run. That person was Lee Eun Sang, but I actually believe that Eun Sang did make it to the Top 10 on his own (he was well within the Top 10 weekly during the show's run), but was rigged to be the X because of his status as a promising newbie, which fit the show's narrative best. Another top vote getter on looks alone was Kim Min Kyu, but he had little talent, so he might have been rigged to finish outside the X category as well because he didn't show the same promise as Eun Sang. His votes were dropping toward the end of the show's run, but I feel he had so much support in the beginning, he might have gotten more votes during the show's run than Eun Sang.
If I had to guess who was added to the roster illegitimately, I think it's Lee Han Gyul, Son Dong Pyo and Kang Min Hee. I mean, I adore Min Hee, but he was a longshot. He's an awkward dancer and his vocals are not trendy, but he's cute. I believe that if he hadn't made X1, he might have been dropped from the Starship roster because there's nothing K-pop trendy about him.
Hang Gyul was nowhere near Top 10, and because of his Western looks, he is more popular with international viewers than Koreans, so I find it hard to believe Korean voters, the only ones allowed to vote, would have voted him in. (Producers formed this group with the intention of enjoying international success.)
Same with Dong Pyo, whose diva antics would have rubbed Korean voters the wrong way. Even now, they call him out for being disrespectful to elders. Also, although trainers loved him from the start and the producers chose him to be their opening center, he never caught on with the public and consistently dropped in the rankings into the high teens over the run of the show. I find it hard to believe he would have suddenly become popular in the final vote.
? This video tells more of Jin Hyuk's story during the "Produce" run:
I, for one, find it hard to believe Jin Hyuk did not make it into the final lineup of X1. I believe it was a case where producers did not want to see two members of Up10tion in the group because again, there likely would have been an outcry from fans who believe the show is about discovering new talent, not debuting those who had already performed for years in one group. If Jin Hyuk and another strong contender, Song Yu Vin, had made it into the lineup, it would have been skewed to include several members who had already debuted, such as Han Sung Woo and Cho Seung Youn.
Anyway, for me this MV represents a promising new beginning for Jin Hyuk. I think he did very well!

Our 2012 Seven Days of Prayer and Fasting is in full swing! Check out these testimonies from people who have been seeking God to bring breakthrough in different areas of their lives. We hope you are encouraged as we are!
One of my faith goals in 2011 was healing for my mother-in-law. She was diagnosed to have stage four lymphoma. Because of God's healing power, she was healed and is now cancer free. Praise God for this!
I have been childless for six years. I joined our Prayer and Fasting in 2009 and asked God for a baby. I got pregnant after that. Last year, I joined again and got pregnant with my second child. God really opened my womb. What an amazing God!
My husband and I have joined the annual Prayer and Fasting since 2009. God never fails to do more than we ask for! When our child was three months old, he was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and God healed him! Truly, God is FAITHFUL!
Cage Liongson of Victory Fort Bonifacio narrates the story of how their youngest son was cured of an illness that would have resulted to mental retardation and required lifelong treatment. Watch the full video here.
In 2011, I prayed and fasted for family salvation. Three months later, my wife started attending Victory and accepted Christ. We both finished Victory Weekend that year and have been attending small group meetings regularly. Both my kids are also attending KIDS Church. At may extra pa: my sisters-in-law have been attending service since the early part of 2011. Amazing how God answers prayer.
I've been praying for the salvation of my family for years now and I always include that in my Prayer and Fasting faith goals. God answered my prayers in 2011, when my mother and younger sister accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
I've been working in a government agency for five months now. This year, I prayed for a promotion and increase in salary. To my surprise, our boss talked to me (during Day Four of Prayer and Fasting), giving me good news. As I renew my contract (this year), I'll be assuming a new post, and the salary is almost tripled compared to what I'm receiving.
I've been working in my present company for more than five years and still haven't received a salary increase. I made that as one of my faith goals in 2011. God faithfully answered my request. Despite the company crisis, retrenchment, and cost cutting, God provided for me. He is so awesome! Praise God for the wonderful breakthrough!
I fasted for my acceptance to the AUSAID scholarship grant. Now I just finished my first semester at the University of Sydney and am looking forward to the start of school year 2012! (I also fasted) to win in the Toastmasters (International Speech) Contest all the way to the National Finals. Not only did I (win) in the Philippines, but I also won in three speech contests in Australia!
My husband and I separated two months after I gave birth to our third child. It was the most painful trial ever. But God is amazing. He brought us back together after eight months. During our first talk, my husband said that he missed God so much and wanted to repent and go back to Him.
My brother and I were not in good terms in 2010. During the 2011 Prayer and Fasting, my sister and I fasted for a reconciliation with my brother. And God is really good. Now, my brother and I are in good terms and he became more responsible as a brother and a son.
Peachy and Elmer of Victory Fort Bonifacio tell the story of how they found God in the midst of a serious marital problem that was threatening their family. Watch the full video here.
These are just some of what God has been doing mightily! If you'd like to share your testimony with us, please email stories@victory.org.ph. Let's continue believing that God will do great things in our lives this year!
What was the toughest Lordship decision you've ever had to make?
Last year, my husband and I fasted specifically for the salvation of our teachers and friends. All of them accepted Christ within the year and the 2nd to the last one, accepted the Lord yesterday, during his birthday, the first time ever that he went to Victory Ortigas with us. What a special way to answer a prayer! Praise you Lord!
Thanks for sharing your testimony, Jen! God is awesome!
My family has been praying for financial breakthrough so we can support a friend going out for a long term missions next month. To our surprise, a hospital called my husband on the 2nd day of prayer and fasting (Jan 7, 2012) asking for an appointment for they are planning to purchase the product that we are offering. The deal was closed on the 5th day of our prayer and fasting and we received their payment the day after. God is great indeed!
God surely provides—more than we ever ask for or imagine! Thanks for sharing your testimony, NSM!

Victor Cullen State Hospital
(Redirected from Hilltop State Hospital)
Maryland Tuberculosis Sanitarium
Hilltop State Hospital
Cullen Academy
Victor Cullen Center
The Victor Cullen Center is located in a rural area outside of Sabillasville, in Frederick County. The facility, originally named The Hilltop State Hospital, was built in 1907. It was the first state funded tuberculosis sanatorium in Maryland. It later became a State hospital and in 1965 became a reform school for boys. In 1967 the Cullen Academy was transferred and placed under the direction of Maryland's Juvenile Services. The site contains approximately 500 acres. Most of the 30 buildings are within a security fence. The administration building is just inside the fence, with residential cottages along a loop drive farther from the gate. A gymnasium and modular school building are near the center of the campus. The administration building, the Cullen Building, was constructed in 1946. When last occupied by Juvenile Services, it housed offices on the first level, as well as a kitchen and dining facility in a wing that was added in 1955.[1]

Radio Host Alex Jones loses laptop containing 10,000 Bitcoin
by Cryptoman March 11, 2021, 1:01 am 1.8k Views
Controversial figure Alex Jones, who was once dubbed America's leading conspiracy theorist, claims to have lost a laptop containing 10,000 Bitcoin. Following Bitcoin's renaissance this week, that would equate to a value of $560mn at today's price.
Jones makes fantastical Bitcoin claims
Speaking on the Flagrant 2 podcast, when the host broached the topic of crypto, Jones initially feigned ignorance. But then immediately enticed the audience by saying, "do you want the secrets?"
In answering the calls for yes, he responds by claiming, "Bitcoin is totally controlled." Jones continues by bringing RT host Max Keiser into the story. Adding it was Keiser who gave him the laptop containing the 10,000 Bitcoin.
"I'm at Bilderberg, north of London, wherever that town was ten years ago, and Max Keiser comes up to me and said I have 10,000 Bitcoins for you. This is the future, it'll be the new global currency…"
However, other than saying, "I lost the laptop," he gave no further details on the events surrounding the loss of the laptop.
"It's total globalist insiders stuff. I'm not saying don't be involved, obviously, it's now been adopted.."
The kicker happened when Jones said he thinks aliens invented and run the Bitcoin network. Going further, he claims that "we [humans] were made by the aliens."
Is there any truth behind the claims?
A Bilderberg meeting took place in Watford, North London, on June 8 & 9, 2013. Jones is documented there at that date. Similarly, records exist that corroborate Jones's claim that Keiser was also present in Watford at that time.
However, there is no verifiable evidence that a laptop containing 10,000 Bitcoin was handed to Jones by Keiser. Also, the lack of detail on how the laptop was lost is further cause for skepticism.
The origin story of Bitcoin's creation is shrouded in mystery. To this day, over a decade on, details of who Satoshi Nakamoto is and where he still remains unknown.
With secrets come rumors
Several years ago, some researchers were claiming that the National Security Agency (NSA) created Bitcoin.
Their evidence came by linking Bitcoin's SHA-256 secure hashing algorithm to the alphabet agency. SHA-2 cryptographic hash functions were designed by the NSA and first publicized in 2001.
But this is still a somewhat tenuous link. It's common practice for cryptocurrency projects to use existing technologies. For example, Cardano's Plutus and Marlowe smart contract languages are derived from Haskell.
Haskell 1.0 was invented in 1987 by Philip Wadler and Stephen Blott. Neither of these two individuals has any ties with Cardano. IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson said that Haskell met his programming language requirements; namely, it's a functional language. The main advantage of which is a more resilient code that's resistant to exploits/bugs.
Sadly, ruling out the NSA still leaves aliens in the mix. However, Jones did not elaborate on why he believes this.
