The PIC microcontrollers are powerful little devices, and [Tahmid] is certainly pushing the envelope of what these integrated circuits can do. He has built (for educational purposes, he notes) an audio player based on a PIC32 and a microSD card. Oh, and this microcontroller-based audio player can play in stereo, too.
The core of the project is a PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller. 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV files are stored on the microSD card and playback is an impressive 12-bit stereo audio. It can also play back 8-bit files (with some difficulty). [Tahmid] programmed the interface to work through the serial port and it is very minimalistic, mostly because this was a project for him to explore audio on a microcontroller and wasn't to build an actual stand-alone audio player that he would use from day to day.
Still, even though the project isn't ready to replace your iPod, the core audio-processing parts are already done if you want to try to build on [Tahmid]'s extensive work. You could even build a standalone audio player like this but have it play high-quality 12-bit stereo audio!


LAS VEGAS -- Tens of thousands of revelers will ring in the new year in Las Vegas under the close eye of throngs of law enforcement officers and National Guard members assembled to keep them safe just three months after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Tourism officials expect about 330,000 people to come to the city for festivities that are anchored by a roughly eight-minute fireworks display at the top of seven casino-hotels. Inside, acts including Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Foo Fighters will keep partyers entertained before and after midnight.
With the shadow of the Oct. 1 shooting still over Las Vegas, officials are trying to reassure locals and visitors they will be safe celebrating on the Las Vegas Strip and downtown on Fremont Street.
On Saturday, two security guards were fatally shot while investigating a disturbance at Arizona Charlie's Decatur, a hotel-casino just west of the Strip. The suspect was hospitalized with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and is not expected to survive, police said. Authorities described it as an isolated incident and assured that it was not terrorism-related.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will have every officer working Sunday, while the Nevada National Guard is activating about 350 soldiers and airmen. The federal government also is sending dozens of personnel to assist with intelligence and other efforts.
Still, authorities are asking revelers to watch their surroundings and report anything unusual.
"Nothing is too small to say something," Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said during a news conference last week. "We'll have plenty of resources available to take phone calls no matter how mundane they are or insignificant you believe to be the information."
The heightened security comes after a high-stakes gambler killed 58 and injured hundreds more after he shattered the windows of his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino on the Strip and unleashed gunfire on a country music festival below. He then killed himself.
Strollers, backpacks, large bags, coolers and glass bottles will be banned on the Strip on New Year's Eve.
A light jacket may do it for some of those gathering on the car-free Strip or squeezed underneath the massive video canopy on Fremont Street. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas forecasts temperatures to be around 48 degrees at midnight.
The coordinated fireworks show is scheduled to start 10 seconds before midnight Sunday at the Stratosphere. Fireworks will then be launched from the Venetian, Treasure Island, Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, Aria and MGM Grand.
New Year's Eve is worth an estimated $254.3 million to Las Vegas, according to the city's Convention and Visitors Authority. More than 97 percent of the destination's nearly 149,000 hotel and motel rooms are expected to be booked.

I think other awards shows could take a few notes from the Academy of Country Music Awards—it's heavy on performances, it moves quickly, the speeches are short, and everyone keeps the mood light and jokey. But the best part about tonight's ACMs was the fact that all the amazing and talented women there totally stole the show. Sure, the guys' performances were great, but all of the best moments belong to Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Shakira, and others.
First up, the Band Perry opened the show, and Kimberly Perry majorly rocked. Check out how gorgeous she looked.
Later in the night, Shakira and Blake Shelton performed their new duet together. Sorry, Blake, but all eyes were on his fellow Voice judge and her amazing hair flips.
My favorite part of the night was when Lady Antebellum performed with Stevie Nicks. They started out singing "Golden" before launching into a rendition of "Rhiannon" together. AMAZING. Also, I adored how Hillary Scott and Stevie started the performance by holding hands.
Miranda Lambert won Female Vocalist of the Year (Yay!), and Blake Shelton, who hosted the show, congratulated her with a kiss. So sweet!
I also loved that Kacey Musgraves won Album of the Year for Same Trailer Different Park, which is one of my favorites. As she accepted the award she told the crowd, "I'm proud to be a woman representing country music." Congrats, Kacey!!!
Such a good night! Which performances were your favorites?

Devotional Program for the Martyrdom of the Bab
Suggested Martyrdom of the Bab devotional program
A selections of quotes, prayers and videos to commemorate the Martyrdom of the Bab.
God hath, at all times and under all conditions, been wholly independent of His creatures. He hath cherished and will ever cherish the desire that all men may attain His gardens of Paradise with utmost love, that no one should sadden another, not even for a moment, and that all should dwell within His cradle of protection and security until the Day of Resurrection which marketh the dayspring of the Revelation of Him Whom God will make manifest.
The Lord of the universe hath never raised up a prophet nor hath He sent down a Book unless He hath established His covenant with all men, calling for their acceptance of the next Revelation and of the next Book; inasmuch as the outpourings of His bounty are ceaseless and without limit.
The Báb,
In the Name of God, the Most Exalted, the Most High.
Verily I am God, no God is there but Me, and aught except Me is but My creation. Say, worship Me then, O ye, My creatures.
I have called Thee into being, have nurtured Thee, protected Thee, loved Thee, raised Thee up and have graciously chosen Thee to be the manifestation of Mine Own Self, that Thou mayest recite My verses as ordained by Me, and may summon whomsoever I have created unto My Religion which is none other than this glorious and exalted Path.
I have fashioned all created things for Thy sake, and I have, by virtue of My Will, set Thee sovereign Ruler over all mankind. Moreover, I have decreed that whoso embraceth My religion shall believe in My unity, and I have linked this belief with remembrance of Thee, and after Thee the remembrance of such as Thou hast, by My leave, caused to be the `Letters of the Living', and of whatever hath been revealed from My religion in the Bayán. This, indeed, is what will enable the sincere among My servants to gain admittance into the celestial Paradise.
Verily, the sun is but a token from My presence so that the true believers among My servants may discern in its rising the dawning of every Dispensation.
In truth I have created Thee through Thyself, then at My Own behest I have fashioned all things through the creative power of Thy Word. We are All-Powerful. I have appointed Thee to be the Beginning and the End, the Seen and the Hidden. Verily We are the All-Knowing.
No one hath been or will ever be invested with prophethood other than Thee, nor hath any sacred Book been or will be revealed unto any one except Thee. Such is the decree ordained by Him Who is the All-Encompassing, the Best Beloved.
Worship thou God in such wise that if thy worship lead thee to the fire, no alteration in thine adoration would be produced, and so likewise if thy recompense should be paradise. Thus and thus alone should be the worship which befitteth the one True God. Shouldst thou worship Him because of fear, this would be unseemly in the sanctified Court of His presence, and could not be regarded as an act by thee dedicated to the Oneness of His Being. Or if thy gaze should be on paradise, and thou shouldst worship Him while cherishing such a hope, thou wouldst make God's creation a partner with Him, notwithstanding the fact that paradise is desired by men.
Fire and paradise both bow down and prostrate themselves before God. That which is worthy of His Essence is to worship Him for His sake, without fear of fire, or hope of paradise.
Although when true worship is offered, the worshipper is delivered from the fire, and entereth the paradise of God's good-pleasure, yet such should not be the motive of his act. However, God's favour and grace ever flow in accordance with the exigencies of His inscrutable wisdom.
The Báb
Ages rolled away, until they attained their consummation in this, the Lord of days, the Day whereon the Day Star of the Bayán manifested itself above the horizon of mercy, the Day in which the Beauty of the All-Glorious shone forth in the exalted person of … the Báb. No sooner did He reveal Himself, than all the people rose up against Him. … "God," said He, "is My witness, O people! I am come to you with a Revelation from the Lord, your God, the Lord of your fathers of old. Look not, O people, at the things ye possess. Look rather at the things God hath sent down unto you. This, surely, will be better for you than the whole of creation, could ye but perceive it. Repeat the gaze, O people, and consider the testimony of God and His proof which are in your possession, and compare them unto the Revelation sent down unto you in this Day, that the truth, the infallible truth, may be indubitably manifested unto you..." The more He exhorted them, the fiercer grew their enmity, till, at the last, they put Him to death with shameful cruelty.
-Bahá'u'lláh
Entombment of the Báb's Remains on Mount Carmel
"One night," Abdu'l-Baha, according to an eye-witness, once observed, "I was so hemmed in by My anxieties that I had no other recourse than to recite and repeat over and over again a prayer of the Báb which I had in My possession, the recital of which greatly calmed Me. The next morning the owner of the plot himself came to Me, apologized and begged Me to purchase his property." …
"Every stone of that building, every stone of the road leading to it," `Abdu'l-Bahá, many a time was heard to remark, "I have with infinite tears and at tremendous cost, raised and placed in position."
On … the day of the first Naw-Rúz (1909), which He celebrated after His release from His confinement, Abdu'l-Bahá had the marble sarcophagus transported with great labor to the vault prepared for it, and in the evening, by the light of a single lamp, He laid within it, with His own hands - in the presence of believers from the East and from the West and in circumstances at once solemn and moving - the wooden casket containing the sacred remains of the Báb and His companion.
When all was finished, and the earthly remains of the Martyr-Prophet of Shiraz were, at long last, safely deposited for their everlasting rest in the bosom of God's holy mountain, Abdu'l-Bahá, Who had cast aside His turban, removed His shoes and thrown off His cloak, bent low over the still open sarcophagus, His silver hair waving about His head and His face transfigured and luminous, rested His forehead on the border of the wooden casket, and, sobbing aloud, wept with such a weeping that all those who were present wept with Him. That night He could not sleep, so overwhelmed was He with emotion.
"The most joyful tidings is this," He wrote later in a Tablet announcing to His followers the news of this glorious victory, "that the holy, the luminous body of the Báb ... after having for sixty years been transferred from place to place, by reason of the ascendancy of the enemy, and from fear of the malevolent, and having known neither rest nor tranquility has, through the mercy of the Abhá Beauty, been ceremoniously deposited, on the day of Naw-Rúz, within the sacred casket, in the exalted Shrine on Mt. Carmel..." By a strange coincidence, on that same day of Naw-Rúz, a cablegram was received from Chicago, announcing that the believers in each of the American centers had elected a delegate and sent to that city ... and definitely decided on the site and construction of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar."
-Shoghi Effendi
Tablet of Visitation
The praise which hath dawned from Thy most august Self, and the glory which hath shone forth from Thy most effulgent Beauty, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art the Manifestation of Grandeur, and the King of Eternity, and the Lord of all who are in heaven and on earth! I testify that through Thee the sovereignty of God and His dominion, and the majesty of God and His grandeur, were revealed, and the Daystars of ancient splendor have shed their radiance in the heaven of Thine irrevocable decree, and the Beauty of the Unseen hath shone forth above the horizon of creation. I testify, moreover, that with but a movement of Thy Pen Thine injunction "Be Thou" hath been enforced, and God's hidden Secret hath been divulged, and all created things have been called into being, and all the Revelations have been sent down.
I bear witness, moreover, that through Thy beauty the beauty of the Adored One hath been unveiled, and through Thy face the face of the Desired One hath shone forth, and that through a word from Thee Thou hast decided between all created things, caused them who are devoted to Thee to ascend unto the summit of glory, and the infidels to fall into the lowest abyss.
I bear witness that he who hath known Thee hath known God, and he who hath attained unto Thy presence hath attained unto the presence of God. Great, therefore, is the blessedness of him who hath believed in Thee, and in Thy signs, and hath humbled himself before Thy sovereignty, and hath been honored with meeting Thee, and hath attained the good pleasure of Thy will, and circled around Thee, and stood before Thy throne. Woe betide him that hath transgressed against Thee, and hath denied Thee, and repudiated Thy signs, and gainsaid Thy sovereignty, and risen up against Thee, and waxed proud before Thy face, and hath disputed Thy testimonies, and fled from Thy rule and Thy dominion, and been numbered with the infidels whose names have been inscribed by the fingers of Thy behest upon Thy holy Tablets.
Waft, then, unto me, O my God and my Beloved, from the right hand of Thy mercy and Thy loving-kindness, the holy breaths of Thy favors, that they may draw me away from myself and from the world unto the courts of Thy nearness and Thy presence. Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. Thou, truly, hast been supreme over all things.
The remembrance of God and His praise, and the glory of God and His splendor, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art His Beauty! I bear witness that the eye of creation hath never gazed upon one wronged like Thee. Thou wast immersed all the days of Thy life beneath an ocean of tribulations. At one time Thou wast in chains and fetters; at another Thou wast threatened by the sword of Thine enemies. Yet, despite all this, Thou didst enjoin upon all men to observe what had been prescribed unto Thee by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
May my spirit be a sacrifice to the wrongs Thou didst suffer, and my soul be a ransom for the adversities Thou didst sustain. I beseech God, by Thee and by them whose faces have been illumined with the splendors of the light of Thy countenance, and who, for love of Thee, have observed all whereunto they were bidden, to remove the veils that have come in between Thee and Thy creatures, and to supply me with the good of this world and the world to come. Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
Bless Thou, O Lord my God, the Divine Lote-Tree and its leaves, and its boughs, and its branches, and its stems, and its offshoots, as long as Thy most excellent titles will endure and Thy most august attributes will last. Protect it, then, from the mischief of the aggressor and the hosts of tyranny. Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Powerful. Bless Thou, also, O Lord my God, Thy servants and Thy handmaidens who have attained unto Thee. Thou, truly, art the All-Bountiful, Whose grace is infinite. No God is there save Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.

Black Humor Aug, 1965
BLACK HUMOR was a 1965 Bantam paperback anthology of short stories and excerpts from novels by celebrated "black humorists" of the day, including Joseph Heller, Terry Southern, Vladimir Nabokov, Thomas Pynchon, Edward Albee and many others, edited by my father Bruce Jay Friedman, and including his short story "Black Angels". I've always loved this cover, although, first subjected to it at age of six, I had no idea what the hell was going on. A couple talking via word balloons inside a closed coffin? A bra hanging out?? What could this mean? This was not MAD magazine! Actually, It still confuses me.
From the books opening page:
"THE WICKEDEST COMEDY EVER PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN SCENE!"
the phrase "Black Humor" (Not BJF's title, the book was already titled when he was hired as it's editor) evolved from "black comedy" and "gallows humor", a "dark humor provoking discomfort". From BJF's foreword attempting to describe this new literary genre: "A nervousness, a tempo, a near hysterical new beat in the air, a punishing isolation and loneliness of a strange, frenzied new kind".
BJF was never comfortable with the possibly misleading literary label "Black Humor", preferring "Tense Comedy", a phrase he later used in 1967 as a subtitle for his off- Broadway play "Scuba Duba". Here he discusses Black Humor and other topics with Mike Sacks for his book of interviews with celebrated humor authors "And Here's the Kicker":

The invitation to the books publication party at the Ginger Man restaurant in the summer of 1965. The (1792!) illustration used is titled: "Fashionable Contrasts" by James Gillray. Sadly, my 2 brothers and I did not attend the party.
Part two of the party invitation, listing the book's table of contents.
The supplement BOOKWEEK in the now long-gone New York Herald Tribune reprinted BJF's foreword to the book, accompanied by this illustration by renowned cartoonist Stan Mack.
In the late sixties, the short story anthology "Nelson Algren's Own Book of Lonesome Monsters" was reprinted with a new title to capitalize on the "Black Humor" craze.
Black Humor, Sept, 1969
In 1969, Bantam reprinted Black Humor as a "Bantam Modern Classic" with this new, even more disturbing (to a 10 year old) cover, based on a portion of "Hure Und Kriegskrupper" by Otto Dix.

COVERING ALBUMS
Delicacy & Nourishment
Over the years I've been hired to illustrate a number of album & CD covers for various clients & friends. Now that illustrated CD covers, like illustrated record album covers before them, are disappearing from existence, here's a look at all my record/CD covers, as well as some other album related items.
Most of these CD's are still available via amazon or on ebay, and a number of images are included in my books "The Fun Never Stops!" & "Too Soon?" (both Fantagraphics).
Ernest Noyes Brookings (above) was a resident of the Duplex Nursing home. This is his third collection of his words, set to music by various musicians, produced by David Greenberger for ESD records.
Turban Renewal

The early eighties soundtrack album from something called "Hippo Records" to the cult classic "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and an example of me being ripped -off (my artwork used without permission). Now how did they EVER think this would come out and escape my notice? Ironically, this would happen a second time, again involving Plan 9 (see below). In both cases, I was finally, fully compensated.
My artwork was even used (without permission) on the back cover!
Deja Vu! And yet a second Plan 9 soundtrack album, this one using my drawing of Tor Johnson's head without permission
Golden Throats volume 2/More Celebrity Rock Oddities
The second "Golden Throats" album from Rhino Records (the first was a cartoon parody cover of Sgt. Pepper), and my first cover for this popular album series of celebrities singing popular songs. The cover image was based on the cover for The Rolling Stones' "Their Satanic Majesties Request" and features, left to right: Cassius Clay, Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy.
A limited 3-D edition of the cover art was also released.
THE WORST!
THE WORST! was a musical based on the life of Ed Wood, Jr., declared "The Worst Director of all Time", with words and music by Josh Alan Friedman, released by Black Cracker records. Ed Wood Jr. "pulls the strings" of Bela, Tor & Vampira.

Al KILGORE: KING OF CARTOONS
AL KILGORE, (1927-1983), was a cartoonist, comic book & comic strip writer, sometimes actor, sometimes screenwriter, but mostly remembered as a renowned caricaturist. In the early sixties he wrote and drew the syndicated Bullwinkle newspaper comic strip before focusing on what he loved the most, illustrating his favorite old time movie stars, especially Laurel and Hardy.
Growing up in the sixties and a rabid old film comedy buff, I constantly sought out and coveted seeing AK's always delightful, effortless, lighthearted artwork, mainly on the covers of film magazines, books and record albums. I thought it obvious that here was an artist who clearly loved what he was drawing, an early inspiration for me. AK sadly died fairly young, and aside from fellow traveler-old movie buffs, his work has become either under appreciated or largely forgotten.
Al Kilgore at work
I hope this helps to rectify that situation and restore the name Al Kilgore to it's rightful place among great caricaturists and cartoonists of the late 20th century
A two record comedy compilation set from "Evolution records", 1972. Cover art by Al Kilgore.
The art was used on the front and back covers.

AK enjoyed nothing more than drawing Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy. These caricatures of Stan & Ollie appeared on the set of Chuck McCann's early 1960's weekend TV show "Laurel & Hardy and Chuck", where AK was a sometimes guest, along with fellow Sons of the Desert founder, John McCabe.

Gantz becomes Knesset speaker in shock alliance with Netanyahu
Former IDF chief leaves his own Blue & White party in tatters as erstwhile political partner Yair Lapid orders his Yesh Atid MKs to abstain from voting, saying there is no way to understand why Gantz dismantled union 'to crawl into Bibi's government'

Benny Gantz became the new speaker of the Knesset on Thursday with the support of political rival Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc after the announcement of his shock 11th hour candidacy left his own Blue & White alliance in tatters.
Follow Ynetnews on Facebook and Twitter
Of the 120 Knesset members, 74 voted in favor, 18 voted against and the rest abstained.
(Photo: The Knesset)
Yair Lapid and Moshe Ya'alon, who split with Gantz after he announced is candidacy, were to issue a joint statement at 8:30pm.
Gantz's election as speaker apparently comes amid talks for his Israel Resilience party to join a government initially led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
"These are not normal days and they call for special decisions. Therefore, as I've said, I intend to examine and advance, in any possible way, the creation of a national emergency government," Gantz told the Knesset, accepting the speaker's gavel.
Gantz was last week tapped by President Reuven Rivlin to form the next government after securing the support of more than half of the Knesset, some of whom were quick to express their opposition to Thursday's surprise developments.
The new speaker had long insisted that he would not join a government led by a prime minister under criminal indictment. Netanyahu is due to go on trial in May for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
The election of the new Knesset speaker came after the High Court ordered a vote, which led then-speaker Yuli Edelstein to resign. Edelstein is apparently tapped to resume the role when Gantz joins the government.
Lapid instructed members of his Yesh Atid party to abstain in the vote.
He later wrote to his MKs that, "Benny decided to dismantle Blue & White to crawl into Bibi's [Netanyahu] government. There is no way to understand it."
Yesh Atid will remain in a political partnership with Moshe Ya'alon's Telem party. The two parties will work as one faction - and have already submitted the request dissolve Blue & White to the relevant Knesset committee.
Yesh Atid and Telem will continue to call their union Blue & White as they will be the largest faction after the split, with 18 MKs to Gantz's 15.

DONUTS 25/8: They're wild, weird and worth a long wait to Hurts lovers in Little Rock.
Little Rock's newest sweet-treat franchise, Hurts Donut Co., touts its brand as the "rebel of all donuts." Piled high with themed toppings, many of the Missouri-born chain's zany offerings resemble edible toys, bordering on the grotesque. They bear names like "White and Nerdy" and "Cosmic Brownie" — novelty concoctions dusted with cereal and crushed-up candy bars, crawling with gummy worms, slathered with neon icings, sprinkled with bacon and cookies. As someone whose donut tastes typically tend toward the prudish — a standard glazed here, an old fashioned there, the occasional fritter dunked in black coffee — I've been scandalized, but morbidly curious, since Hurts opened Feb. 27.
Ahead of its 5 a.m. opening day, people were camped out in front of the store to be among the first to get a donut. What compelled these would-be patrons to sacrifice their evenings standing in sluggish lines, huddled in the rain and cold, all for a few morsels of fried and sweetened dough? What was I missing?
I needed to know, and so I set out to test their wares. Inspired by Hurts' billing as a 24-hour establishment (or, as their marketing cheekily spins it, "25/8"), my plan was to claim a table and hold court for half a day, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., observing the scene, quizzing fans and working my way through the chain's vast, eccentric menu. I reported on a Saturday, having consumed nothing but a handful of olives. I took my place in the snaking line and settled in for a long wait.
On this particular evening, two major events had converged in downtown Little Rock: a regional volleyball tournament and the 20th Century Club's annual Hope Ball. Customers varied between casually dressed, out-of-town families and swanky, well-to-do Little Rock natives. They came in tuxes and sequined gowns, pajamas and athleisure.
One of my linemates, a young man with braces and wearing a smart dark suit, admitted he'd escaped the Hope Ball prematurely with his companion, bored and craving sweets. His sights were set on a "Cereal Killer" donut covered with Cap'n Crunch. A volleyballer from Hot Springs named Nena raved about the cookies-and-cream option. A twentysomething named Jazz declared allegiance to straight-up glazed. Three girls ahead of me — Chloe (9), Lauren (10) and Ava Kate (11) — schemed, fidgeted and eyed the display case with covetous stares.
SUGAR SHACK: Hurts brings in customers as diverse as its donuts.
In the peak of the first rush, I saw one lone, befuddled dad from Oregon — in town on volleyball business — stumbling through the swarm, searching for his daughter, who had giddily rushed ahead. We locked eyes for a moment. "What is it about this place?" he asked me, desperate and confused. I shrugged and pointed my finger, directing him to the end of the line.
"We just fell in love with the concept," the franchise's co-owner, Heather Grimes, told me as we shared a table around midnight, during a rare lull.
She recalled a moment in the spring of 2018, when she and her husband, Connor, stepped into a Hurts Donut shop for the first time in Branson, Mo. "The bright colors on the walls. The vibe. It's just not your average donut shop," she said. Shortly after that trip to Branson, they approached the company's founder. "We want Little Rock," they told him.
Less than a year later, their dreams materialized on the 100 block of East Markham, nestled across the street from the Statehouse Convention Center. Since then, they've experienced a steady throng of customers. Their shop, the company's 22nd location, made 890 sales over the course of the Saturday I visited.
Absurdist themes aside, the Grimeses take pride in the inherent quality of every product they sell. Before they're loaded with signature toppings, Hurts donuts fall into three distinct categories: yeast-risen, white cake and chocolate cake, all of which are made in-house and from scratch, with no frozen ingredients.
The "Jesús" donut, Heather told me, is their best seller by far. The recipe is simple: a white cake base with vanilla icing, dipped in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel.
After a knee-throbbing, 74-minute wait on my first trip to the case, I placed my order with a gregarious employee named Cole. I opted for the "Hurts Dozen," which saves you a few bucks and averts paralysis of choice by allowing the staff to pick 12 styles at their discretion. I got an iced coffee, too, and spent my donut savings on the upcharge of adding glitter — no kidding — to my drink, which shimmers when you jostle the cup and hold it up to light.
THE 2 A.M. LINE: Even in the wee hours, you'll have to wait to satisfy your Jésus Jones.
Freed from the line, I got down to the business of tasting. To my surprise, despite the weight of icing and garnishes, my yeast-risen donuts held the appropriate loft and structure, not too airy and not too dense. The range of texture was a testament to judicious frying: faintly crispy on the exterior, with an oil-free, pillowy interior.
The cake donuts, too, while not exactly delicate — most configurations weigh close to a pound, it seems — maintained balanced flavor even without their quirky toppings. All told, after doubling back and waiting in line once more, I sampled over 16 styles of donuts that night. I put two yeasted versions at the top of my list, one of which cradled a dollop of Nutella at its center, the other a sprinkling of Fruity Pebbles. My two bottom-rung picks were cloying cake bricks, topped with crushed Oreos and powdered Tang.
Between tastings, holed up in a quiet-ish corner, I tried my best to assess the venue as an all-night hangout. Amid the undulating din of customers and the store's piped-in pop music, I composed several emails, wrote a heartfelt longhand letter to a friend, listened to Solange's new album, and scanned Zillow for dream homes on the opulent canals of Venice, Calif. I watched the first half of "Legally Blonde."
Meanwhile, a late-night Little Rock tableau developed. Sometime between 1 and 2 in the morning, a rowdy quintet of Air Force bros in boat shoes and crew cuts came whooping in and demanded kolaches. Around 2:30, a man dressed in all black and a top hat appeared, ushering an elderly fellow hunched over a walker. At 3:56, a posse of cops streamed in and stoically munched their Jesúses.
The cops were followed by a troupe of drag queens who threw open the doors and strode through the premises, striking poses and blowing kisses to all. Hurts staff trickled out from the kitchen and took selfies with the queens in front of the soda fountain. It was a joyous affair, and my mood — growing more sour and fatigued by the minute — took a turn for the better. I refilled my cup of glitter coffee, leaned back in my seat, let another hour pass, and watched a courteous, pre-church crowd begin to accumulate.
Eventually my sentence neared its end, and I could see hints of sunlight reflected in the windows across the street. For the first time in what felt like weeks, I stepped outside, a little sweaty and ashamed.
I was glad to leave, but an unexpected sentiment materialized. I had, in all honesty, prepared to condemn the place and its clientele on the basis of its gimmick alone, the relentless puns and unabashed kitsch, but the night had had the opposite effect. I'd come searching for a particular type, and had instead found too many to list. Those 12 hours, in fact, constituted the most democratic space I'd experienced in a long while. I'd discovered a broad and strange Hurts family there, congregating around those ridiculous, colorful rings of sugar and flour.


Winner of the 2003 International Reading Association Award for Young Adult Novel. This gripping read is based on the true events of the murder of Emmett Till, one of the nation's most notorious crimes that helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.
At first Hiram is excited to visit his hometown in Mississippi. But soon after he arrives, he crosses paths with Emmett Till, a black teenager from Chicago who is also visiting for the summer. Hiram sees firsthand how the local whites mistreat blacks who refuse to "know their place." When Emmett's tortured dead body is found floating in a river, Hiram is determined to find out who could do such a thing. But what will it cost him to know?
As the fiftieth anniversary approaches, there's a renewed interest in this infamous 1955 murder case, which made a lasting mark on American culture, as well as the future Civil Rights Movement. Chris Crowe's IRA Award-winning novel and his gripping, photo-illustrated nonfiction work are currently the only books on the teenager's murder written for young adults.

Competition Poco-Poco Dance
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul"― Martha Graham
"Dance is a movement in your blood" - Irwan Md Azahar
WHAT IS DANCE
Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans or other animals, as in bee dances and behaviour patterns such as a mating dances.
Definitions of what constitutes dance can depend on social and cultural norms and aesthetic,artistic andmoral sensibilities. Definitions may range from functional movement (such as folk dance) to virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Martial arts kata are often compared to dances, and sports such as gymnastics,figure skating and synchronized swimming are generally thought to incorporate dance.
There are many styles and genres of dance. African dance is interpretative. Ballet, ballroom and tango are classical dance styles. Square dance and electric slide are forms of step dance, and breakdancing is a type of street dance. Dance can be participatory, social, or performed for an audience. It can also be ceremonial, competitive or erotic. Dance movements may be without significance in themselves, as in ballet or European folk dance, or have a gestural vocabulary or symbolic meaning as in some Asian dances.
Choreography is the art of creating dances. The person who creates (i.e., choreographs) a dance is known as the choreographer
Early dance
Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations.Archaeology delivers traces of dance from prehistoric times such as the 9,000 year old Bhimbetka rock shelters paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures from c. 3300 BC.
An early manuscript describing dance is the Natya Shastra on which is based the modern interpretation of classical Indian dance (e.g. Bharathanatyam).
The ancient chronicle, the Sinhalese (Sri Lankans), the Mahavamsa states that when King Vijaya landed in Sri Lanka in 543 BCE he heard sounds of music and dancing from a wedding ceremony. Origins of the Dances of Sri Lanka are dated back to the aboriginal tribes. The Classical dances of Sri Lanka (Kandyan Dances) feature a highly developed system of tala (rhythm), provided by cymbals called thalampataa.
As a Method Of Healing
Another early use of dance may have been as a precursor to ecstatic trance states in healing rituals. Dance is used for this purpose by many cultures from the Brazilian rainforest to the Kalahari Desert.Medieval European danses macabres were thought to have protected participants from disease, however the hysteria and duration of these dances sometimes lead to death due to exhaustion
Sri Lankan dances goes back to the mythological times of aboriginal yingyang twins and "yakkas" (devils). According to a Sinhalese legend, Kandyan dances originate, 2500 years ago, from a magic ritual that broke the spell on a bewitched king. Many contemporary dance forms can be traced back to historical,traditional, ceremonial, and ethnic dances
As a method of expression
One of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of myths. It was also sometimes used to show feelings for one of the opposite gender. It is also linked to the origin of "love making." Before the production of written languages, dance was one of the methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation
In European culture, one of the earliest records of dancing is by Homer, whose "Iliad"; describes chorea (χορεία khoreia). The early Greeks made the art of dancing into a system, expressive of all the different passions. For example, the dance of the Furies, so represented, would create complete terror among those who witnessed them. The Greek philosopher, Aristotle, ranked dancing with poetry, and said that certain dancers, with rhythm applied to gesture, could express manners, passions, and actions. The most eminent Greek sculptors studied the attitude of the dancers for their art of imitating the passion

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance - Margaret Mead

"I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire.

"What?" said Ron, taken aback. "You've already asked her?"
"Good point," said Fred. He turned his head and called across the common room, "Oi! Angelina!"Angelina, who had been chatting with Alicia Spinnet near the fire, looked over at him."What?" She called back.
"Want to come to the ball with me?"Angelina gave Fred a sort of appraising look. "All right, then," she said, and she turned back to Alicia and carried on chatting with a bit of a grin on her face.
"There you go," said Fred to Harry and Ron, "piece of cake."

Q: Clicking on an icon to open and close the tooltip I'm trying to figure out how you can open the tooltip by clicking on the icon as well as closing it. I've been looking at some of the discussion here, but none of them doesn't seem to work at my end. Here is what I have so far:
HTML

  something something

Javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".info").tooltip({tooltipcontentclass:"stuff"})
});

For this, of course, this will only show the tooltip if the mouse is hovering over it and closes it if you hover it away. I know it's not much, but this is the best I can do here. Please let me know if there is a way for opening and closing it by clicking.

A: I think you do not even need a plugin for this.
A little CSS and jQuery is enough:
$(function(){

  $(".info").click(function(){
    var left = $("img",this).offset().left + ($("img",this).width()/2) - ($(".tip", this).width()/2);
    $(".tip", this).toggle().css({"left":left});

  });

});

A baby clearly needs good nutrition if it is to grow and stay healthy. With the increase in our nutritional knowledge, we are becoming ever more aware that good nutrition plays a major part in the development if the brain, the learning of skills and the effective functioning of the different systems if the body, such as the glands that produce hormones. While we cannot replace the natural goodness if a mother's milk, there is much we can do to replicate it.
In the first few days after her baby's birth, the mother produces breast milk known as colostrum. This milk is rich in zinc and other nutrients needed to enhance the baby's immune system, which is coming into contact with infection for the first time. After a few days, the fat and vitamin E in the milk are increased to feed the fatty tissues of the brain and strengthen the baby's immune system. Later, the milk will contain more of the protein and carbohydrate needed for growth and energy. The content of breast milk can change during a single feed to ensure that the nutrients most needed are provided in the early stages before the baby tires. A well-nourished mother can usually provide all the nutrients needed by her baby during the first six months of life.
Fortunately, we are now able to analyze breast milk, and this knowledge has been used to improve the quality of infant milk formulas needed by the five per cent of babies whose mothers are unable to breast feed them.
When you prepare your baby's food, freeze one or more baby-sized portions in the container used for ice cubes, for another day.
If you defrost and/or heat your baby's food in a microwave oven, ALWAYS STIR IT, in case heating has been uneven and ALWAYS test the temperature before serving.
Raw vegetables help your baby during teething: let him or her chew on a whole peeled carrot, or a stick of celery or peeled cucumber.
The increasing numbers of small children with allergic conditions and digestive difficulties and older children with obesity, suggests that the trend towards early weaning should be reversed. Many nutritionists advise the postponement of weaning until six months.
This should not be given to children under five years old as it does not provide enough calories and lacks the fat-soluble vitamins. However, semi-skimmed milk can be given to children of two years old and above, provided they are growing well.
The first solid food for a baby usually consists of cooked and pureed fruit and vegetables, or specially prepared baby cereals. It is best to avoid food with added salt or sugar. When you are preparing a healthy meal for yourself, you can save time by sieving a small portion for the baby, such as avocado flesh. A baby's appetite will grow as he or she grows, until about one year when growth slows down and the appetite usually decreases. At about this time babies and toddlers often develop likes and dislikes. It is best to avoid battles about food: if you continue to offer nutritious food and avoid giving sweets, you can trust your toddler to eat what he or she needs.
Giving supplements to healthy young babies and infants is controversial. Many parents and paediatricians think that breast milk from a well-nourished mother together with well chosen nutritious solid food is sufficient. Others feel happier with a supplement that provides the recommended levels of minerals and vitamins.When a supplement is given, it is usual to use a liquid preparation for the first year or so, and then a preparation that can be chewed. It is important to follow the instructions on the bottle: if in doubt, seek professional advice. To avoid dietary imbalance, mineral and vitamin supplements should not be taken in large doses, except with professional guidance.
Vitamins A and D can both be toxic, so follow the dosage advice. Avoid high doses of cod liver oil.

The Juggernaut icon.
Juggernaut is a multiplayer gametype available in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach. It was originally a version of Oddball in Halo: CE. This was later changed.
2 Built-in variants
2.1 Halo 2
2.3 Halo: Reach
2.4 Halo 2: Anniversary
3 General Tips
5 Related Pages
There are two teams, the Juggernaut alone, and the players hunting him/her.
The only person who can earn points is the Juggernaut (hence the title).
Juggernaut is the "Halo" version of tag. Although it resembles Slayer in that one must amass so many points to win, there are two major differences.
The Juggernaunt's purpose is to kill as many players as possible in order to amass points. The other players' goal is to kill the current Juggernaunt, in order for them to become the next Juggernaunt. To counteract the Spartans and Elites out to kill him, the Juggernaunt is sometimes aided with overshields, Active Camo, increased speed, increased damage, increased damage resistance and infinite ammo (not bottomless clip).
Built-in variants[edit]
Halo 2[edit]
One player is the Juggernaut, the other 2 are teammates. Only the Juggernaut can score and 10 points wins the game.
One player is the Juggernaut while 3 others are teammates. Only the Juggernaut can score and 10 points wins the game.
Ninjanaut
The Juggernaut has active camo and a motion sensor. You don't, so work together to corner him and take him out. 10 points wins.
Phantom Fodder
You're invisible but you have no motion sensor. You're being hunted, so watch out! 3 rounds wins, 5 points wins a round.
The Dreadnaut is an unstoppable beast. Fear him but work together to take him out. 20 kills as Juggernaut wins the game.
Kill the Juggernaut to become the Juggernaut and earn points. 10 points to win.
Juggernaut scores by reaching the destination zones. 5 points to win.
The Juggernaut is fast, stealthy, and deadly. 10 points to win.
Halo: Reach[edit]
If you meet the Juggernaut, kill the Juggernaut.
Halo 2: Anniversary[edit]
Work together to take down the Juggernaut. The killer becomes the juggernaut and only the Juggernaut can win.
The Juggernaut has active camo and a motion sensor, but his time is limited.
You're invisible with no motion sensor. Juggernaut is hunting you! Win by getting most kills in the set rounds.
The Dreadnaut is harder, faster, stronger. Work together to take him out. Get most kills as Juggernaut wins the game.
Multi-Naut
Multiple players are Juggernauts. Only the Juggernauts can score.
Naut-Tacular
Any players who get a multi-kill become a Juggernaut. No starting juggernauts.
Juggernaut Elimination
Everyone's a Juggernaut until killed by a juggernaut, but can steal it back. Game ends when one Juggernaut remains.
Nauticide
The player with the most kills becomes the Juggernaut. Any player can score.
General Tips[edit]
When you're the juggernaut, it is important to take cover whenever under heavy fire.
Try not killing someone just as you become Juggernaut, as you are not Juggernaut until a moment after you kill the Juggernaut, if you do, you may accidentally betray that person, and you might get booted if the betrayal booting option is enabled.
Try sticking together in a team.
Get to the power weapons before the Juggernaunt. (not for the "Halo:Reach version")
Communicate with your team-mates.
Juggernaut was originally planned to be in Halo: CE, under the name "OGRE".
As of February 2008, the only Halo 3 playlist including "Juggernaut" is Rumble Pit.
Juggernaut is one of the least popular gametypes regarding multiplayer in the Halo trilogy.
In Halo 2, you can use the Juggernaut gametype as a type of glitch training simulator by playing as one player and setting all the options that you want like turning up your shields for a glitch that would usually kill you.
In Halo: Reach the juggernaut's head is on fire. The Juggernaut is also limited to only a Gravity Hammer and no Armor Abilities but is immune to assassinations and very resistant to damage and EMP bursts.
The Juggernaut may be an old-school reference to Bungie's Marathon, in which the Juggernaut was one of the strongest enemies in the game. Hence, overpowered abilities the Juggernaut possesses.[citation needed]

There is a recognised service gap between primary and specialist mental health services in addressing the needs of youth with moderate severity mental health needs. CASPAR (Comprehensive Assessment Service for Psychosis and At Risk) is a new service which facilitates assessment and short-term intervention in young people (12-25yrs) in South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) who are at risk of developing a major mental illness. This study provides a comprehensive descriptive profile of all clients accepted by CASPAR in its first 12 months of operation. Results will include detail of the demographics, symptoms and key psychopathology of clients at both presentation and follow-up. This will determine the extent to which clinical characteristics of clients may have changed over CASPAR's first year of care, informing the need for modifications to its inclusion criteria and assessment protocols. As feedback is essential at this stage of a new service's development, a feedback questionnaire offered to a subset of CASPAR clients will determine the acceptability of the service, and clients' perceptions and experiences of care. It is anticipated that this qualitative appreciation of clients' experiences will allow the team to tailor its service, leading to the better identification, engagement and treatment of individuals with moderate-to-severe mental health concerns.
