Hi. I am Jacqueline Dickey and I am researching my genealogy. I see that you have added one of my ancestors, David Dickey in the Argenta cemetery. Is there any way to link him to my great-grandfather William K. Dickey in the Macon County Memorial Park?

Hi Pammy,
I love the church "token" you placed on Jodie's memorial! She would have as well as she was very committed to her church and would have appreciated your gesture.
Thank you so much!
P.S. I have a sister who has the same name as you do but hers is spelled "Pami".
God bless you and yours!

Hi Tammy, Thanks so much for posting his memorial in Old West Cemetery... with that goofy spelling on his stone its amazing I found him. He is John Herman Folkers, son of Siebelt Folkers #29671526 and Gretje "Gertrude" Backer # 29671537.
He married Mary Blessing first, and Sarah Kelley second.
Can you please link him to his parents?
If you would rather transfer him my number is 47416912.
Just one more request , do you mind if I post the photo of his headstone to my family tree on Ancestry.com. I will add your photo credit to it of course. Please let me know , if I do not hear from you will assume you don't mind. Thanks again.

RE: photos
I never took any photos off of Ancestry. If you take a good look at them you will see they are not the same photo. I took the photo when I was at the cemetery. If you would like me to delete the photos I will. I'm not even related to this family.

Who doesnŌĆÖt have time to enjoy the company of good friends along with good food, good wine, good beer, and to enjoy a good time while supporting a very good cause? LetŌĆÖs face it, any excuse is a good one for a party and the excuse for this one is Oktoberfest, which is originally a 16-day festival held each year in Munich, Germany, running from late September to early October.
Classic cars and vintage rides werenŌĆÖt the only draw at the Tri-County Fairgrounds the weekend of Oct. 2-3. Hundreds of residents and visitors also found beauty in watercolors, oils and pastels during the 12th Annual Altrusa Art Show and Sale, held to coincide with the Owens Valley Cruisers Fall Colors Car Show and the Laws Railroad Museum Choo-Choo Swap Meet. Dozens of artists from the Eastern Sierra had their works on display and for sale, including 2010 featured artist Maryann Thomas.
Every Saturday night of the Lone Pine Film Festival, the organizers choose a special film to show as their Hallmark movie. This year, a real rarity, a silent film shot in and around the Lubken Ranch, is screening. It is called "Stolen Ranch" and stars a very charming and sweet cowboy actor named Fred Humes. After you have seen one of his smiles on the screen, you'll see that the word "charming" is not an exaggeration.
As its first offering of the 2010-11 season, the Bishop Community Concert Association is bringing a veritable entertainment whirlwind to the local stage. Bringing both tremendous talent and audience appeal, the nine-member, Branson, Mo.-based Lowe family is set to perform a unique blend of music, theater and dance at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Bishop Union High School Dorothy Joseph Auditorium. While excited to be kicking off its concert season, the BCCA is particularly pleased to be doing so with The Lowe Family.

Returning to the Tri-County Fairgrounds for the 12th consecutive year, Altrusa International of the Eastern SierraŌĆÖs Art Show and Sale is offering patrons more than one way to take home works by local artists. ŌĆ£Below the Dam,ŌĆØ an original framed watercolor painting by 2009 featured artist Pat Crowther, will be raffled off during the annual event, being held Saturday and Sunday inside the fairgroundsŌĆÖ Floriculture Building. Crowther has generously donated the painting to help Altrusa raise funds for its various literacy-related community service projects.
From the California State University system, to the studios of DisneyŌĆÖs Featured Animation Division, to the base of the Sierra Nevada, Maryann Thomas has spent her life nurturing a tremendous talent and passion for art. SheŌĆÖll be sharing her acclaimed watercolor works ŌĆō many of them inspired by travels to far-flung locales or the views in her own backyard ŌĆō with residents and visitors when Altrusa International of the Eastern Sierra highlights Thomas as the featured artist at this yearŌĆÖs Art Show and Sale on Oct. 2-3.
Jo Henley is not a person. Rather, Joe Henley is a Boston roots-rock band formed by longtime musical collaborators Andy Campolieto and Ben Lee, known for their unique blend of rock, folk, country and bluegrass that their fans affectionately refer to as ŌĆ£new roots.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Inspired by everything from old-timey music to modern arena rock, from Hank Williams to Bruce Springsteen, CampolietoŌĆÖs and LeeŌĆÖs mutual love of all forms of American music shines through in Joe Henley.┬Ā
hey came to the U.S. from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a mixture of Latin rhythms, performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajn (box-drum) and harmonizing vocals. Vivacious and infectious, the sound of Los Pinguos has claimed fans worldwide, from their hometown to the streets of Los Angeles, and now here to BishopŌĆÖs own 19th Annual Millpond Music Festival, Sept. 17-19.
Local photographer Paul Fretheim will present stunning views of the Sierra Nevada backcountry using unique, 360-degree, ŌĆ£virtual realityŌĆØ photography techniques during a presentation at the Eastern California Museum in Independence. The event is free and open to the public, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Saturday at the Eastern California Museum, 155 N. Grant. St., Independence (three blocks west of the historic courthouse).

It's true that the diamonds are on only one side of the ring, but I actually prefer that. They're small enough, I would be concerned about the durability if they were on the palm side. I wish the diamonds had more impact. They're dark and dramatic, but they could be onyx or another less expensive stone. The intricate detail is beautiful. And the metal is strong enough to sustain some wear without the ring being damaged. It seems stronger than Sterling. I'm happy with my purchase but instead of it being a special-occasion cocktail kind of ring, it's more of an everyday wear ring.
the diamond should go all the way around the ring not one side
I didn't like it! to few diamonds, not very polished (no lustr/shine). Great fit/sizing! I'm returning
My ring came and it is exactly what I expected. I am very happy with this purchase!
I have had a ton of compliments on this ring! It truly is UNIQUE and BRILLIANT. Unfortunately, I have a small ring finger and this particular size 5 is SMALLER than my other size 5 rings that do fit this finger perfectly. If they had it, I would have ordered a 5.25 size ring. I can still wear it but sometimes it gets tight by end of day.

Anastasia Customer Reviews
Anastasia Mini Duo Brush #7 - I love this simple, well made brush. It allows me to prep my lashes for mascara and removes any clumps after mascara is applied.
Anastasia Brow Wiz - Brunette - It is very easy to apply, much better than shadow. The color is just right for dark hair/pale skin. I have oily skin and by end of the day it may fade a bit, especially if I was touching my face during the day.
ANASTASIA Cranberry Toner - Quite simply the best toner I have ever used. Grateful to Skinstore.com for adding this line of products. This toner is appropriate for acneic skin, but it is nondrying, soothing, and nourishing.
Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel - Brunette - I love this product for my purpose which is to cover grey hairs in my eyebrows...I've been tweezing them because they drive me nuts. They still drive me nuts but at least this product allows me to cover them up so no one notices. Relieved to know I don't need to keep pulling those hairs!
Anastasia Brow Powder Duo – Caramel - The Anastasia brow powder duo is easy to apply and consistently good. Never had a problem with this product. That's why I keep coming back to it.
Anastasia Brow Scissors - Anastasia makes perfect brow products, including brow scissors. You can't mess up using these. Best brow trimmers I've ever used. There really is a difference!

Almost every word Ernest Hemingway wrote in the years immediately before 1922 was lost by his first wife Hadley, who packed the pages in a briefcase and lost it on a train. Hardly an American lit student lives who has not heard this story.
Hemingway's lost prose lives on, in a sense, in the movie "The Words," which opens with a writer named Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading from his new novel in a Manhattan bookstore. But hold on. Don't get ahead of the story. I know you're thinking Hammond's book is actually the long-lost Hemingway manuscript. But the movie adds another level. His book is about another novelist who finds the lost briefcase in a Paris antique shop.
Most of "The Words" is about that novelist. His name is Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper), and he has a wife named Dora (Zoe Saldana). Dora is a famous name among novelist's wives, but never mind. Her purpose here is to shoehorn a beautiful woman into the movie, which includes two others: Celia (Nora Arnezeder), a Parisian mistress, who is the one who leaves the briefcase on the train, and Danielle (Olivia Wilde), a graduate student who falls for Clayton Hammond at his reading.
The original novelist at the beginning of this series of events is known only as The Old Man (Jeremy Irons), and he is seen only when already Old. If you're thinking of The Old Man and the Sea, don't blame me. After Rory Jansen finds the novel and publishes it as his own, he finds himself in the park one day, having a conversation with The Old Man, who tells him the story of how he came to write the novel and lose it.
I doubt if either one of us could pass a quiz on that plot. It's a level too many and sidesteps a more promising approach: What if the movie were about the real Ernest Hemingway discovering that his lost manuscript had been found and published by a stranger? That would eliminate the need for the Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde characters, provide an opening for some juicy Hemingway dialogue, and create an excuse for a passionate affair between Hemingway and the succulent Dora. Of course you'd need some time compression, because the various events in the movie seem to span perhaps 90 years.
"The Words," written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal, may sound like a movie about literature, but it isn't. It ingeniously avoids quoting more than a few words from the Hemingwayesque novel, and although Clayton Hammond reads more from his novel, there's no suggestion that we're dealing with the Son of Hemingway, or even the Cousin Of. The movie does however slyly leave open the possibility that his novel is the story of his own life.
What does work are the performances, especially Jeremy Irons as The Old Man. He's not as angry about Jansen's plagiarism, as you might assume, and indeed the real Hemingway considered his lost manuscripts "juvenile work." (In life, Hadley did save a few carbons, one of which was the short story "Up in Michigan," which is a work of genius. We can only wonder what was lost.)
Watching the movie, I enjoyed the settings, the periods and the acting. I can't go so far as to say I cared about the story, particularly after it became clear that its structure was too clever by half. There's also an appearance by J.K. Simmons as Jansen's father, not a very necessary character, but it's funny how often you see Simmons playing someone in a movie and wish the whole movie was about him.

Christina knows best wrote on January 22, 2013
We had an all around great stay at EuroPark. The location was excellent, the staff went above and beyond. The ONLY reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars was because of how loud our floor was. There was a door, that was in need of a device to slow it's shutting, that slammed every morning starting at 7am because of the workers coming in and out. We were on the 8th floor, across from the terrace, and while this was OK in the winter, I would recommend not staying on that floor during the summer. It would get rather loud up there. All in all, if you choose to stay here, you will have a great time in Barcelona.

The only down side to this hotel is the price for the breakfast 10-14 euros. The hotel is on a busy street, we asked for and got rooms at the back of the hotel which were perfect.

the hotel is clean, modern and priced well if you get a deal. I was traveling solo and wish I would have been somewhere that I could have walked to bars and restaurants at night, like in las ramblas. depending on your situation it could be great, room was small, but cozy. most of the staff spoke English. very nice place, but for me not the right location.

- Cultural Tsunami Research Network
- Cultural Typhoon Melbourne is a group of Melbourne-based (but not exclusive of those based outside Melbourne) scholars, students and activists, interested in exploring media and cultural studies in Asian contexts. In solidarity with the Association for Cultural Typhoon based in Japan, Cultural Typhoon Melbourne will hold monthly seminars intended to create a space for the free and vigorous exchange of ideas and intellectual discussion based on an equal relationship among individuals. All are welcome to attend and participate.
The first gathering will feature two speakers, Koichi Iwabuchi (Monash University) and Fran Martin (Melbourne University), who would like to share with participants their research projects, concerns, predicaments, and plans for collaboration, focusing on the issues of entrapped relations of "here" and "there". What is the significance and difficulty of doing critical studies of Asia in Melbourne/Australia (and in English)? How should we do research "here" on "there" (cultural issues in Asian regions), "here and there" (inter-Asian connections), "there in here" (migrants from Asia/Asian Australians)? Can critical studies of culture enable us to rethink "here" and "there" theoretically, imaginatively, collaboratively beyond a bipolar view? We invite you to join with us in attending afresh to long-standing questions of researchers' positionalities, approaches to transnational ethno-cultural movements/connections, the de-Westernization of knowledge production, and cross-border collaboration.
Light food and drinks will be provided. We would like to ask the participants for a small contribution to cover costs ($15 for full-time employed persons and $5 for others).
The schedule of Cultural Typhoon Melbourne seminars up to June 2013 is as follows:
18 April (speakers: Audrey Yue & Jinna Tay)
16 May (speakers: Chris Healy & Olivia Khoo)

Most helpful review
Wonderfully ambitious movie
By Aman1 from Middlesex , 10 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
So much has been said about this film already, but after seeing it I felt compelled to add my thoughts on the movie.
It is ridiculously ambitious, and this is part of what makes this movie so charming. From talk of time travel to presidential propaganda, this film is filled with social commentary and cinematic brilliance. The film has far more memorable scenes than in most films, from the hilarious Smurf conversation to Donnies hypnotherapy sessions.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Donnie brilliantly, portraying Donnie with self-depreciatory humour, a real sense of vulnerability and astute intelligence. His thoughts on God are a definite highlight.
Patrick Swayze is fantastically hilarious in his role as a saviour from fear figure, and adds a lot of colour to the movie. Noah Wyle and Drew Barrymore also provide enjoyable cameos. However, it is the overbearing dance-leader and backward thinking teacher who stirs the emotion in most viewers. She seems to represent Conservative America, and Donnie wonderfully exposes her simplicity when she gives her teaching on love.
Donnies relationship with the new girl in town is refreshingly complex and understated, and adds something to the film when it so easily could have taken away from it.

Aint it kinda funny, aint it kinda sad?
By TheWatchman (755 reviews) from Suburbia , 28 Aug 2013Those words kind of sum up Donnie Darko. Its definitely not for everyone, being the writing/directing debut of Richard Kelly. Its deep, complex, with overlapping-storylines and constant blurring of genres. Rumour has it that once it was made, the distributors let it sit on the shelf for a year while they tried to figure out how best to sell it. I can see why. Its hard to name a genre that it doesnt borrow from. Its definitely sci-fi, but only in parts. When the sci-fi elements come, theyre very noticeable, but surprisingly fleeting. However, its also very creepy in places, producing a more sinister atmosphere than most horror films. Then, just when youre scared senseless, it throws in a lot of light-hearted banter, even going as far as to discuss the sexual habits of Smurfs like it was a Kevin Smith comedy. Then you have the touching sadness of it all, plus the high school element, the teen romance subplot, the family drama and the general satire on modern living in suburban America. If anyone asks you what Donnie Darko is about, even if youve seen it, you may have trouble explaining it. The people that really know what its about have probably looked up its true meaning on the internet somewhere. If youre familiar with David Lynchs work, then you may know where Donnie Darko lies in the scale of films. Where is Lynch specialises in disturbing horror, Donnie Darko utilises all the genres to produce a mind-bending trip into a disturbed teenagers head as he struggles to balance everyday living with strange visitations from a time travelling bunny rabbit from the future (called Frank). Those who dont like it will probably say that it didnt make sense. Well, theyre right in some ways. Its not a film that wraps itself up easily. A lot is left to your own interpretation of what youve seen. There is definitely a story that you can follow and you should care about all the characters, but its partly more of a sensory experience than an easy narrative to follow. But then its worth it just to see Jake Gyllenhals breakthrough performance. He hadnt done many films prior to this and its great to see him carry the film on his own. However, there are numerous characters in this film and, just because theyre not quite as good as its leading man, doesnt mean to say they dont all put in excellent performances. Drew Barrymore and Patrick Swayze arent in it for long, but that doesnt mean to say that they arent both excellent in their small roles. Donnie Darko is an experience. It may not be for everyone, but you really should see it to decide for yourself. It was listed in the Top 50 films you need to see before you die. I think it justifies its place in that list.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hours after Pope Benedict XVI's resignation announcement Monday, speculation was surging over who might be his successor and what part of the world the new pontiff could be from.
The 118 cardinals who will pick the next pope are also in the running for the job. Those cardinals are from around the globe, but more than half of them hail from European nations, according to Vatican statistics.
Worldwide, the demographic trends among the Roman Catholic Church's nearly 1.2 billion members show a different breakdown, with the church seeing only a trickle of new members in Europe, while membership has grown significantly in Africa.
So this time around, could the pope be from Africa, where growth has surged significantly, or from Latin America, a longtime bastion for the church?
"It's always one of those exciting things. I bet there will be a line in Vegas, there probably already is," said Randall Woodard, an associate professor of theology at Saint Leo University. "Especially based on the growth of Catholicism and ... the geographic shifts that have taken place, a lot of smart money would be on Africa or Central America."
Some stressed that the pope's geographic background shouldn't be a factor.
"All of the questions about nationalities are nonsense," said Michael Sean Winters, a visiting fellow at the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies. "There are 118 men, and all of them have gotten to know one another. ... Their questions are going to be 'who can we see in that chair?'"
For many in Italy, the choice is already clear, according to John Allen, CNN's senior Vatican analyst.
"Around the dinner tables today in Rome, Cardinal Angelo Scola has the pole position," Allen said Monday.
Scola, an Italian, is the archbishop of Milan.
Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, who heads the Vatican's office of bishops, is also a likely frontrunner, said Allen. And Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, an Argentinian who works as the Vatican prefect overseeing eastern churches, is well-known for his leadership and administrative skills, Allen said.
'The face of Catholicism'
Another top contender for the papacy could be Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, said Woodard, the managing editor of the International Journal of African Catholicism. The 64-year-old cardinal currently heads the pope's council for justice and peace and has experience working with people of different faiths, Woodard said.
"He would be able to respond to global needs and ... the reality of what the face of Catholicism is," Woodard said.
In Brazil -- which leads the world with more than 133 million Catholics, according to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life -- many were buzzing about Benedict's resignation announcement Monday.
"The country has a tradition of Catholicism, and any news related to the pope is very important news in Brazil. ... There are those experts saying that maybe the time has come for a cardinal from the developing world, Africa or Latin America, to ascend to the papacy," said Paulo Sotero, director of the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.
Catholic faithful gathered at a religious celebration in Brazil's capital Monday said they were surprised by the news of Benedict's resignation and hopeful that Brazilian Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz might be picked for the papacy, the state-run Agencia Brasil news agency reported.
But choosing the next pope is an issue that must rise above geographic borders, said the Reverend Emmanuel Katongole, a Catholic priest from Uganda's Kampala archdiocese who is an associate professor of theology and peace studies at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
"Part of the frustration for me is that there is a thinking that Africa's challenges and the opportunities and the interests can only be advanced if we have an African pope," Katongole said. "I find it extremely frustrating when in my vision, the church is a transnational communion of believers whose identity and loyalty cuts across these geopolitical boundaries."
Cardinals prepare to decide
While people outside the church may focus on nationalities and race, within the church's top ranks, cardinals have "a very global vision," Woodard said.
"The pope has to be the visible shepherd of 1 billion Catholics in the world," said Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois. "I don't think going into the conclave the pope has to be of a certain nationality."
Other factors are important, Paprocki said, like the age of the next pope.
"It's a grueling and demanding schedule to keep up with," he said.
Pope Benedict, who is 85 years old, said Monday that he will resign at the end of the month "because of advanced age."

IC - http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...-A-New-Dawn-IC
As you can see, this RPG is all about Warrior Cats. It's a book (if you didn't know) and the whole RPG will be based around it using original characters. To avoid confusion, all our characters will start off in ThunderClan. Why ThunderClan? Simply because it's the most well-known Clan out of them all and thus it is easier for people who have only read a few books (or none) to join.
Haven't read the books? That's fine, you don't particularly need to. It is basically a simple role play to do with cats. But I would advise you to read them, not for this role play… but because they are just great books.
-Coming soon-
Here is a list of ranks that are available:
Leader – There is only one leader to each clan. The Clan Leader is charged with the responsibility of watching over and managing their entire Clan. Leaders are normally granted nine lives and a new name with the ending '-star'.
Deputy – The deputy is second in command to the leader and will take over the leader role is the original leader dies. They will also serve in the leader's place in situations where the leader is unable to fulfil their duties. They are in charge of organizing patrols and they are often called on by the leader for advice, but other than that, they retain the normal duties of a warrior.
To become a deputy, a cat must have trained at least one apprentice. Upon leader's death, they become the leader and go to the Moonstone so StarClan can grant them nine lives. Though, Deputies may also retire and give up their place as deputy if they wish.
Medicine Cat – The Medicine Cat serves as the Clan's spiritual leader and healer. In addition to their responsibilities to their Clan, they have responsibility to the other Medicine Cats and StarClan. They carry out their responsibilities to StarClan once ever half-moon, meeting with the other Medicine Cats to discuss matters privately and share dreams with StarClan. Clan Leaders often rely on them to carry messages from StarClan, as Medicine Cats have a special link no other cat has to the deceased.
As a healer, they gather herbs and dispense them as an apothecary would. They handle diagnosis and treatment of both illness and injury for all the cats in the Clan.
In their role as spiritual leader, they teach the code, interpret omen and prophecy and generally serve the Clan as a connection between the earthly cats and their ghostly counterparts.
As a medicine cat, they are not allowed to have a mate or kits. Medicine cats also exist outside of typical Clan rivalries in order to treat all cats fairly.
Medicine Cat Apprentice – A Medicine Cat Apprentice is the cat that is being trained to follow in the paw steps of the Medicine Cat. Medicine Cat Apprentices also accompany their mentors in their visit to the Moonstone every half-moon to receive dreams from StarClan.
Frequently, Medicine Cat Apprentices who has had full training will be given a warrior name ("-paw" replaced with another ending); however, Medicine Cat Apprentices remain Apprentices even when fully trained so long as the current medicine cat is still practicing the arts.
At the time the old Medicine Cat either dies or steps down, the new Medicine Cat will be decided by the Clan Leader who shall pick the Medicine Cat Apprentice who he/she thinks is more ready for the reasonability of becoming a Medicine Cat. When the apprentice becomes the full medicine cat then the other Apprentice will carry on with being the Apprentice of the new Medicine Cat.
Warrior – A Warrior is a cat trained in the arts of fighting and hunting. Warriors make up the bulk of a Clan, and provide that Clan with the protection and food supply that keeps it safe and well-fed. Typically, a cat is made a Warrior at or over the age of twelve moons. In their oath to become a Warrior, they promise to "uphold the warrior code and protect and defend their Clan, even at the cost of their life."
Queen – A queen is a she-cat nursing or expecting kits. Their primary task during this time is the raising of their kits. Some queens stay in the nursery after they have kits. They are thought to do this because they feel they can help the nursing queens.
Elder – An Elder is a retired Warrior/Deputy/Queen/Medicine Cat/Leader who is too old or not in suitable shape to continue with their duties. Elders are taken care of by the whole Clan, and are given respect for the time they have served as warriors. They are responsible for taking the body of a dead cat out to be buried.
Some cats don't become an Elder only because of old age; if there is ever a condition which prevents the cat from fulfilling their duties to their Clan, it usually leads to the cat's decision of retiring.
Apprentice – An Apprentice is a cat in training to become a Warrior. Their names end in the word "-paw" to signify the "path their paws are now on". Most are at or over the age of six moons. They have a Mentor appointed to them at their ceremony and most days are taken out battle training or hunting. They are also given the task of cleaning out bedding and removing Elders' ticks and fleas. Apprentices are not allowed to have a mate or kits, which is because of their young age or not to interrupt their training.
Kit – A Kit is a cat who has not been made an apprentice yet. Their names always end in "-kit." Most often, they are under the age of six moons, though sometimes they are held back from being an apprentice for a certain amount of time, sometimes due to injury or misbehaving.
They stay in the camp and are forbidden to leave it, unless accompanied by an older cat, such as a Warrior or a Medicine Cat.
Here is the character sheet, please add as much information as you possibly can.
Code:Picture: Details Name: Gender: Age: Rank Wanted: Rank Received: Appearance Description: Pelt Colour: Body Type: Eye Colour: Personality Description: Likes: Dislikes: Wants: Fears: Strengths: Weaknesses: History Description: Crush: Mate: Kits: Kins: Other:
This is the list of the different Clans and who is in them. All cats in the any other Clans but ThunderClan can be played by anyone (except the Leaders).
ThunderClan is a mainly peaceful Clan, respectful of the other Clans as well. In battle, ThunderClan is fierce, courageous, and loyal. They normally take in loners and kittypets into their Clan to either swell their ranks or because the cat is in need of help or shelter. For this, they are at times looked down upon by other Clans and thought of as weak. They have excellent stalking techniques, creeping across the forest floor. They have the sense to keep upwind of their prey in the thick bushes. ThunderClan cats are noted to be especially strong. They are the only Clan to bunch their hindquarters before leaping to catch their prey.

StarClan are the deceased warrior ancestors of the Clans who live on in spirit form after dying, and watch over the living Clan cats. There is no specific Leader for StarClan, since there are many cats from all four Clans that work together. They are responsible for sending signs and omens to the living cats.
No characters are here yet.
Place of No Stars
The Place of No Stars is the opposite of StarClan where cats who have committed great crimes against their Clan and the Warrior Code go to die. Instead of walking the skies with friends and family, like in StarClan, cats hear are banished to walk through the forest in solitude.
No characters are here yet
Fourtrees is a group of four tall oak trees located in the middle of all the Clans in neutral ground. This is the place where each Clan meets together to hold a Gathering each night of a full moon. As stated in the Warrior Code, there is a truce which forbids fighting during the Gathering. If fighting does occur, it is said that StarClan sends clouds to cover the moon as a sign of their displeasure, normally ending the Gathering.
Carrionplace is a Twoleg dump in part of ShadowClan's territory. During the hard times of leaf-bare, it provides ShadowClan with food when the rest of the prey is scarce, though they have to be cautious about disease spread by the rats living there.
A Thunderpath is the Clan term for roads. They have an extremely acrid smell and a hard grey surface that Monsters (cars) use to travel on. Many cats have been injured or even killed by Monsters when trying to cross.
Sandy Hollow
The Sandy Hollow is located with the ThunderClan territory, just outside the ThunderClan camp. It is an area which is filled with red sand and dirt and sheltered by trees. A river once ran through it before drying up and leaving only a stream beyond the hollow.
It is mainly used by Mentors to train their Apprentices. Due to the soft ground, training cats are unlikely to get hurt while fighting.
Sunningrocks is a group of rocks at the very border of RiverClan and ThunderClan where cats would bask in the sun. It is a large, flat rock formation in full view of the sun, getting very warm, therefore it is a desirable location for Warriors to take a break or Elders to stretch their legs. It is currently own by ThunderClan.
Twolegplace is the general Clan term for cities, towns, villages- any location where groups of Twolegs permanently live together with their Kittypets, dogs and monsters. The houses that Twolegs live in are known as 'Twoleg Nests' to the cats.
Snakerocks is located in ThunderClan territory, quite close to the Thunderpath, where adders are known to live in. It is very dangerous for untrained Apprentices to go near Snakerocks due to the adders which have been known to attack cats in the past.
In Character Rules
• Try to post at least a paragraph (which is about a minimum of four sentences long)
• Try and keep as active as possible.
• Ask permission before injuring, becoming mates with or killing another person's character(s).
• No God Moding or Power Playing (do not control other people's characters without permission)
• Use proper grammar and spelling as much as you can.
• At the moment, there isn't a certain character limit. You may have as many characters as you want as long as you keep them all active.
• Remember, your character isn't perfect! Not everyone will like your character, just deal with it and move on.
• Ginger Collie and MidnightLunar are your GMs, you must worship us. (Nah, you get my point, we love you all really!)
• This is a semi-realistic role play, so please be REALISTIC!
• If your character gets injuries at any time throughout the role play, remember to stick with it! A few hours later of breaking a leg, your character shouldn't be up and running across a field like normal, should they? I know it can get boring role playing an old injury but once your character gets injured, stick with it!

Report From Ars Electronica 2008: A New Cultural Economy
In it's 29th year as the one of the most important media arts festivals in the world, Ars Electronica 2008 focused on trying to make sense of the economic and social realities of a "knowledge-based" society, where limits of intellectual property and aging copyright laws are beginning to lose relevance in an increased international atmosphere of open systems, sharing information across networks, and collective artistic action and utility. This year's theme was "A New Cultural Economy", a vision of the present and future that imagined cultural and artistic exchange and remixing as a key indicator of the success of current and future generations. Through this 6 day festival, events ranged from conferences, exhibitions, performances, to student exhibitions such as a wide range of projects from the University of Tokyo entitled "Towards a New Horizon of Hybrid Art."

Facebook and Twitter on 360 is for Gold Members only
In probably the most obvious announcement of the day, Microsoft has confirmed that Facebook and Twitter will only be available on Xbox 360 for Gold Members.
This bit of news was slapped in with the price cut announcement.
"Xbox LIVE Gold Membership will be required for Twitter and Facebook when they are available, and is required for Netflix. Games, media content and Netflix membership are sold separately; a hard drive is required for storage," Microsoft's press release reads.
Both FB and Twitter are expected to land on the service this fall along with Last.fm.

Three Last.fm hours per month for Silver Live members (maybe)
Live GM Christina DeRosa has told Joystiq that the service's Silver members may be granted limited access to Last.fm for free.
"Silver users will be able access what we're considering a trial period of three hours a month, which comes with video advertising," she said.
"Gold users will have unlimited ad-supported access, so they can use it 24 hours a day. There will also be a premium offering on a subscription basis from Last.fm, that will be commercial free and will also have more sophisticated personalization features, like Loved Tracks."
Last.fm launches on 360 this autumn. Thanks, Destructoid.

Pachter: 360 Twitter and Facebook integration "most important" E3 news
Microsoft's announcement that 360 is to be integrated with Facebook, Last.fm and Twitter was "far and away the most important" news of E3, Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter's told Gamasutra.
The analyst said "that the media completely missed its importance," adding that it signals a new direction for the machine, that of a "functioning computer" in the living room.
Pachter also said that the move "gives the company a huge jump start on a hopeful Apple, which has as yet to make a dent in sales of its AppleTV (intended for the same purpose).
"Microsoft appears to me to understand that it can leverage its 30 million installed base advantage if it moves quickly, and Apple will have a long way to go in order to catch up. By far, this was the most important announcement of E3."
Very interesting stuff. Hit it. And if you're not using Twitter already, then get with the program, soldier.

Kim: Microsoft is not leaving the gaming space
With Xbox 360 becoming a home entertainment system that offers not only games, but Netflix and soon Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm, Shane Kim wants to assure gamers that the console is still all about games.
"It happens to be a great video game console," Kim told Kotaku. "That's not going away. We want to make people understand that we're not leaving the gaming space.
"I definitely think that we can expand off that base, and that gaming is still going to be an important part of entertainment."
Bill Gates previously stated that the creation of Xbox was so the company could strategically "get into the living room."

Last.fm-360 integration gets more details, create your own station, share playlists
Kotaku's unearthed some more details of the Last.fm service that will be integrated into XBL later this year.
Yes, there's still no date but you'll have the ability to share your playlists with friends and create your own, unique Last.fm station.
The feature list in full:
- browse artists & tracks and compile custom playlists
- share those playlists, and other recommendations, with friends via "Party Radio" (you'll also be able to listen in on the same songs/playlists together)
- create your own Last.fm station
- check out artist pages complete with photos, band info and other info like how to find similar artists.
Microsoft has announced Last.fm will be free for all Live Gold subscribers.

I'm running a VPS at Inmotionhosting for about 4 months and I love it. I tried a lot of webhosts but I can ensure that inmotionhosting's VPSs are higher quality. Support is fantastic although they're not really fast, they take their time to look into the problem. Sometimes I do have the feeling that they're not really talking to me, or that they're talking with 10+ people at the same time.
Inmotionhosting claim 99.9% uptime on share hosting on sale page, but after buying plan I got 16 times down time in a weak.
When I complaint the issue with website monitor report they said to upgrade VPS for better uptime, their is no uptime guarantee on shared hosting plan.
When you buy shared hosting on inmotion, you will get good service for 3 month, after they will send you a "Server shift" email and transfer to another server where you will have downtime every day.
So don't buy inmotionhosting.
I would like to say I do NOT have a clue why this hosting company is rated so highly. I've been hosted with this company for about 2 years now and I've had NOTHING but problems. The ONLY reason why we have stayed with them for this long is because of the hassle of switching over to yet ANOTHER host. At this point we don't know what hosts to trust.
Just this month our website has been down at LEAST 4 times and they have not refunded us money, gave us a heads up, nothing at all. We signed up for what is FAKE information "Unlimited Bandwidth" and they shut our website down for using too much bandwidth. That is fine, but when they tell us that we have unlimited bandwidth and then I have contact them to ASK them why my website is shut down out of the blue, and they respond with "Even though you have unlimited bandwidth it is hard to track the amount of bandwidth you use" is ridiculous. They NEVER have ONCE warned us about maintenance, why our website has been shut down, NOTHING. Out of the time we have been there our website has been shut down NUMEROUS times a month, with NO warning. We had even called to tell them to put on our account to warn us if there was going to be any maintenance and all that and they still have not once reached out to us.
We have a SMALL business and for them to be known for "Best for businesses" is 100% untrue. We have lost a LOT of money because of them shutting down at points where we needed our website to be up and running 100%. We will be switching hosts THIS week. This hosting company is FAR worse that the host we were with before, and I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt, because I know how it is to run a hosting company as I have done a lot of research to start my own at webhostingtalk.com, but they are just down right horrible. I am warning you all do NOT sign up for them these reviews are all a joke to me.
Brad McGinnis found this review useful
Given how rapidly the internet environment changes it is important to have good support in dealing with challenges as they arise. The experience with InMotion support has been far superior to other hosting companies we have dealt with. Their level of technical expertise is high and issues are promptly resolved. We particularly appreciate the clarity of explanations they provide because this helps us increase our own knowledge and understanding.
Have been with Inmotion for 2 years and so far so good. No downtime experienced with my personal site at all!
I recommended it to my boss and we are currently hosting our business site with them, and although there were a few downtime issues, their customer support is EXCELLENT. They are very polite and very keen to assist you in any way they can!
By far the best web hosting company!
I love the 24/7 live chat support feature enables good accessibility. Its tech team is well equipped with good knowledge of support. I give double thumbs up for their good job.

I have had several different hosting companies through the years and inmotionhosting is BY FAR the best. For starters, I can't believe how fast my site runs on their servers compared to Fatcow and even Godaddy. The best thing about inmostionhosting however is their customer service. I'm not that tech savvy and didn't have the budget to hire someone to help setup my wordpress website. I had a million questions for the customer service reps, which was largely unrelated to what a hosting company would normally provide service for, and at no point did they try to brush me aside. All my questions were answered and my site it up. This company is in a league of their own when compared to other hosting companies I have dealt with in the past.
Whenever anyone asks me about hosting companies, I always recommend InMotion. Been with them since they were first getting going. The reason I do is because of their tech support. They didn't have great documentation way back when, so I had to rely on support. Always great, always timely, always pleasant to deal with. Now that they have so many more tools and the documentation is developed, I don't have to turn to them as often, but when I do, they are unfailingly the best out there. You can't go wrong with InMotion.
Excellent service and tech support, making installing websites, setting things up a breeze for a newbie like me! 5 stars!!
I recently tried to tinker around with my commercial site as a British English voiceover artist and deleted most of the copy from www.Englishnarrator.com. I was just about to start rewriting it, but Jonathan P was able to regain the whole site. Really, really happy and would like to commend him for his excellent help. Feel free to check my site out; this isn't a paid review. I am genuinely grateful for his help.

I am in the process of changing hosting for my non-profit to InMotion. From my Sales Web Chat to chats with Technical Support and phone calls to Technical Support, the customer service has been remarkable- competent, caring, people who go the extra mile. And the tutorials and articles are excellent, covering both instructions for a specific task as well as explanations of the "big picture," the Web and how your site will fit into it.
Don't get me wrong; the process of changing hosts is not that difficult for someone who knows something about the Web. I don't! I'm not even an IT person, but InMotion personnel have been most kind and understanding in making sure the change process goes smoothly even fro a newbie like me.
Thanks InMotion!
InMotion has both excellent live chat services as well as a comprehensive library of tutorials and information.
Nick W. in customer service just did a wonderful job providing me with all the information I needed in a live chat session. He's a keeper!
There may be hosting companies who claim to have better server speed, but none can claim better customer support. Inmotion hosting has is down cold. Some complain that requests get sent to a second tier tech, but you are never left hanging. They get back to you ASAP. This kind of support can only give you confidence that your site is in good hands.
Quick turn arounds with helpful advice. I host 5 sites with them and will continue to do so for a long time. Yes, I recommend them to my friends.
Jason L.
I was experiencing a problem with my site regularly timing out and the good folks on the tech support team helped provide a solution. They were quick to respond and continued the conversation as a solution was implemented. I am happy that I chose InMotion as my host. Highly recommended.
Its very rare to find a company that provides such excellent customer service - especially when the price of their services is so reasonable to begin with! It really is the best of everything. If you are ever looking for a hosting service InMotion is the way to go!
I'm BRAND NEW to creating a website and right now I'm making 3 at the same time. inmotionhosting has been very supportive, and so far I'm finding it well worth my time and effort.
Every moment that I need assistance, someone is there to help. I launched a site in 5 hours...of course I am adding more and more each day, but the initial launch was a huge success due to the team of experts ready to assist even in the middle of the night. Kudos to the team.
We would like to commend Jason P. for his outstanding support. This is the 2nd time that I have an issue but again, it was really a great experience! Attached is our full chat history for you to know what exactly happened that time. Just to give you a summary, I was using phpgenerator for form submission. I was having error 404 even If I already allowed all the permissions. Jason fixed it as soon as I verified my account. In less than 10 seconds he told me to try it again and (Baammm) it worked! Hats off to you Jason P.
Again, thank you for the great tech support experience. I am now telling my other friends to change host since they are having tough time with their respective tech support from other host. I will also put some very good blogs for you guys. (",)
I'm a computer novice, so I ran into predictable issues when setting up my website. Inmotion's customer service is impeccable! I used the chat feature several times and every time the technicians were not only extremely knowledgeable but very patient. I'm glad I switched!

They are a real solid, reputable and responsible company. We've only had a few minor issues and each has been resolved with exceptional speed and professionalism. You can't go wrong here, with unlimited space and bandwidth, supported by excellent and dedicated individuals, there is no where else to look (as the price is super right too). These guys nailed it! Look no further, they are where you should host all of your domains!
Just switched over from Godaddy and can't be happier. I had too many problems with Godaddy and the shared hosting was making my site really slow to load. They made the site transfer very smoothly. Their tech support department is very helpful, ask for Edward, he spends hours to make sure that everything is in order. So far so good
I moved my hosting to InMotionhosting. Not because of the special offers, not the smart solutions and extras, not the dedicated servers and what have you. The only reason that matters to me is the excellent and dedicated service I always get from Shawn, Nick, Lars and the others. If you need help, you get it. That's the only good reason I need. Probably the best support team in the hosting business.
I left JustHost to come to InMotion for several reasons. Firstly, my site on JustHost was down 15-20% of the time. Totally unacceptable. Secondly, the customer service at JustHost was just atrocious. Never got any legitimate answers for why my site was down. Just the usual run around from department to department and lots of waiting in between.
During my short stint with InMotion, my WordPress site has been hacked twice (through no fault of InMotion) and my site's server has suffered a DDoS attack. Through it all however the support staff was always willing to answer questions and help me resolve these problems. And through all of these issues, my site has still been up about 99% of time.
Also, props to Scott M. with InMotion for helping me resolve a particular WordPress hack. I was blown away by his knowledge of WordPress and the database configuration behind WordPress. Got me back up and running in about 10 minutes. Without his knowledge I would have been searching on Google for another hour at least. Kudos to him and the team for getting my site up and running again after that phishing hack on my site.
Look, stuff happens. It's inevitable. But at the end of the day you want a support staff that can help you through it all.
And you know all those reviews about InMotion's awesome customer service? Well, that's because it's all true. It's what helped me decide on InMotion (from JustHost). And it's what got me to write this testimonial.
I've also blogged on it at http://lucimablog.blogspot.com if you want to read about my experiences with JustHost and InMotion. Just search my blog with those keywords.
I had a problem with my website caused by migrating one site from a sun folder to another subfolder. Stephanie L did an exceptional job of tracking down the problem. On tech assistance alone I would recommend them
I recently worked with three employees at Inmotion--David, Joe P., and Robert A.--and they were all excellent in their services to me. They helped me learn how to use cpanel and fix something that had baffled me for days in a matter of minutes. I have always considered my self tech savvy, but I am blown away by the level of service these employees provided.
So glad I chose InMotion!
I am VERY pleased with my tech support experience today.
Nick W., Jon E. and Joe C. were pleasant, professional and helpful. My issue was addressed promptly and sucessfully. I couldn't be happier!
It seems that every company in America claims to have great customer service these days. Most companies seem to think that if they keep you on hold for less than two minutes they have done a great job.
I don't normally write reviews and the only reason I am writing this is because every time (and I mean EVERY TIME) I have contacted Inmotionhosting, they have answered my questions or solved my problems immediately. In addition every representative I have contacted seems to have a great attitude. Even when I know I am asking fairly rudimentary questions they have never made me feel like it is an inconvenience to give a complete answer.
I did a lot of research choosing a hosting company and so far am very pleased with InMotion. I have called them several times with questions and have always been swiftly greeted by helpful, knowledgable staff. It is definitely worth spending a couple of bucks a month more to get such excellent service!
I had done quite a number on my building my website. Johnathan P was incredibly patient and was able to undo my mess and get me going in the right direction in 5 minutes!
I wanted to let you know that to date I have had 3 conversations with people on your helpdesk. My latest conversation was with Shawn and just like the previous conversations with the other people, he was exceedingly helpful, polite, professional and a pleasure to work with. Its quite refreshing to work with people that are so pleasant and willing to help as well as being knowledgeable.
One would think that it should be a given to expect the words in the title to be a part of customer service, but alas, it is not. I have been dealing with a frustrating situation on my site that has nothing to do with InMotion. But, in dealing with them, I am encountering people who have been going out of their way to make my transition as easy as they can. They definitely deserve the five stars for what I have received so far.
We moved out of desperation after being totally off-line for a month with Dreamhost. We tried contacting them, but the only way to contact them was via e-mail. After no response for nearly a week, we threatened legal action because all our files were gone. They finally exported our databases and restored our files so we could get out of there fast. In the process of moving our content and importing our databases, InMotion Hosting has been amazingly helpful... cordial customer service that is knowledgeable AND there is an actual phone number to call to reach someone! Amazing experience so far...
Wow! Customer service is alive and well at Inmotionhosting! Had a conflict with my DNS and as a result could not FTP my data. Within 5 minutes, James R. had me up and running.
He was professional, courteous, timely in his actions.
I had such a great 24 hours of service with inmotion. I pressed two numbers on the 800 number and was immediately connected with Paul. He answered a few of my questions politely and quickly. Then, over the next day I worked with 3 different reps and via chat and they were all awesome. Jason A was patient and worked with me for well over an hour as I migrated my site to inmotion's servers. Tim E helped me to check on a few issues I found in my site. They both went above and beyond any customer help service I have ever received. As long as this remains the experience, they have me for the life of my film blog.
I really appreciate all the help from the support department. I talked to Nick W. about upgrading to dedicated elite. I told him I needed the upgrade fast as my site is getting a lot of traffic. While I was talking to him I placed the order and he passed it through for me so it could be processed as soon as possible. I couldn't believe it when a few hours later I received an email saying my upgrade have been processed and completed with the old server running for 24 hours next to the new server to make sure there would be no problem (like down time). That's amazing because normally upgrade takes at least a few days. I have never seen a hosting company work this fast and everything is working perfectly too. Nick W. made this happen for me but it's not just him doing all he can to help, it's the whole support department. I have talked to many of support and they're always ready to help no matter how long it takes. There are not many hosting companies with a support team like that.
Just want to share my experience. Inmotion Hosting support team is doing an excellent job. Thus far they have never let me down (and I have talked to them many times). Keep up the good work. Thanks again for everything.
(very happy customer)
I've been hosting my company's site with InmotionHosting for quite a few years. In that time I've had one awkward experience - which the company profusely apologized for. Never been repeated. On the contrary, the service I get from them is exceptional. When I have a question, the response is detailed and thorough. I've steered friends from hosting elsewhere because I know they'll get great support from InmotionHosting.
I have been contacting the inmotion support several times for different issues, theirs 24h support is excellent, always fast and comprehensive.
good work.
Ok i've been with Inmotion over a month and my experience is great. I had problems on my server like every other hosting company have but the way they're adressed is the key in this business and i'm very happy because the support will fix any issue you might encounter. So why do i recommend Inmotion ? Because it has the best servers ? Perhaps but their support is the best ! If you want reliability on your servers Inmotion is the place for you.
Thank You

Dear John,
I want to once again commend you and your customer service staff on the excellent help I recently received. I waited to see if some kind of form or survey was e-mailed, but since it has not been forthcoming I am taking the opportunity now.
Once again I was faced with a problem that I did not have the expertise to confront. Your staff was, as always, very tolerant of that fact and walked me through the fix. I especially want to thank David and Paul K. After my account was apparently hacked they both were able to bring my wordpress back, so I could at least work on it. It even looked hopeless for a time. But both gentleman stayed the course and helped me. I have recommended your service on two separate
occasions and will continue do so without hesitation.
Your Happy Client,
Jack K

Purcell: The Complete Anthems and Services, Vol. 7
Archive Service; also available on CDS44141/51
Purcell: The Complete Sacred Music
11CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
The Symphony provides a ravishing start, full of the drooping melodic lines and wistful harmonies that make Purcells work so appealing: the triple-time second section too has pastoral, even melancholy, undertones beneath its surface jollity, which continue as the high tenor soloist takes the first verse of the psalm text. His glorious melodic lines (including two wonderful melismas on the word O) are continued in the concluding instrumental ritornello. The three soloists combine at Jerusalem is built as a city, rise up the scale at the tribes go up and, returning to triple-time, give thanks to God. The ritornello which follows looks ahead in the anthem for its material, rather than repeating the material just sung, and we are treated to a wonderfully melodic section which leads into the tenor solo For there is the seat of judgement. Purcell has already used this latest material instrumentally so now introduces a new section: his mid-anthem Symphony, in the tonic minor, is glorious. The solo voices quietly appeal for peace to come to Jerusalem, and that they shall prosper that love thee. The choir make their first entrance, asking first in block chords for peace, and then in more lively style that there may be plenteousness within thy palaces, and the soloists call too for prosperity, before returning to the more formal peace be within thy walls. They briefly share this request with the choir who bring the anthem to a close in simple vein.

A father and son were arrested for assaulting two Harlingen police officers early Sunday morning.
Around midnight, police responded to a call about a disturbance on the 700 block of Curtis Street.
When officers arrived ,they had to break up a fight between two men identified as Richard Galvan and Richard Galvan Jr.
As they were going to stop the fight, Harlingen police said the men turned and began attacking them as they were being arrested.
Police were able to control the situation and take the father and son into custody.
The two officers suffered minor injuries and were released back on duty.
Galvan and Galvan Jr. face assaulting a public servant and resisting arrest charges.
