The Martian Chronicles
A look at Curiosity, NASA's newest Mars rover
This weekend, NASA is scheduled to launch Curiosity, a new 7-foot-tall, 2,000-pound rover, bound for Mars. Its mission: to look for habitable environments, past and present, in the planet's Gale Crater, where scientists believe that water existed more than three billion years ago. With an array of 10 instruments, Curiosity will survey its surroundings, take detailed pictures and analyze samples of rock, soil and atmosphere. It is due to land on Mars in August, and its primary mission will last for one Martian year—98 weeks.
Photo Journal
Curiosity's six wheelsare 20 inches in diameter, with cleats for traction. Each front and rear wheel can be independently steered, so that the rover can turn in place 360 degrees. It can also roll over obstacles up to 25 inches high and travel up to 660 feet per day.
The vehicle is powered by what is essentially a nuclear battery that converts heat into electricity—providing power to Curiosity's instruments as well as generating warmth during the frigid Martian nights. The battery's heat comes from 10.6 pounds of plutonium dioxide.
For hard-to-reach spots, the vehicle's ChemCam uses a laser to vaporize thin layers of rock. With the help of a telescope, it then identifies chemical elements in the vaporized atoms. If a rock has a coating of dust, hundreds of repeated pulses from the laser can remove those layers.
Two camera systems take color photos and high-definition video to study the Martian landscape, track weather conditions and aid in driving operations. Below the cameras is a weather-monitoring station to measure wind, humidity, temperature and radiation.
A turret at the end of Curiosity's robotic arm holds several devices that can dust off rock surfaces and collect and sort samples. Also on the arm: a camera that can take extreme close-ups and a spectrometer to determine the different elements in rocks.

Man United smash Chelseas record
4 years ago a Chelsea team won the league with what at the time was considered the most boring football anyone had ever played while taking the title.
Man United will smash that record if they take the title, they steal all joy and entertainment out of football in their games. They play a negative style which helps them grind out terribly dull 1-0 victories, with no concern that football is meatn to be ENTERTAINING.
United continue to bore their opposition and the watching public to tears with their style.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Quote from my friend:
"The difference between United and Chelsea is that Chelsea are a defensive team, and United defend well. They would score a goal and shut the other team out, and camp in their half, while we keep attacking, which leaves us open to attack, and they defend well subsequently. No commentator has called us boring during this run of clean sheets, and I've not met anyone who described us as boring."
Defensive team vs. Defending well: A good distinction, I think.
United are out there to win, leader. It's up to other managers to find a way of breaking them down.
Fine winning 4-2 then losing 3-4 stuff like that. That gets you mid table and pressure on the manager.
If the Hammers had gone in front today by a couple you'd have seen the horns come out. That clean sheet record is to be admired.
Come on, even the Liverpool fan thinks you're talking rubbish (and credit to him for how he's responded to the result). These 1-0's are not reflective of a negative approach, but for the most part, reflective of playing against decent opposition, most of whom have taken points off the rest of the top 4.
The team that won the Double Double, recognised as being a hugely exciting team, won a lot of that season 1-0, with Cantona getting the goal and Schmeichel keeping a clean sheet, exemplified by the game against Newcastle at St. James'.
Get over it you silly fool, even If It pains me to say It, there defence looks rock solid and they are looking big favorites now.

Looking for someone that is versed in php,mysql and ajax for an online pokemon game, this game is not yet released(and is not affiliated with pokemon, game freaks or any subsidiaries thereof). The pay would be determined after the project is released and depends on income of the project. The only things left to do are the switching of Pokemon in and out of battle ,the attacking and multiple users on the maps. This project should be a week out if the right candidate apply's. This is not a quick pay assignment, but will pay you if you do a good job, also other means of payment can be negotiated. Do not give quotes as they will not be accepted. May contact me via PM here, or you may email me at reaper7861 at gmail dot com.
Thank you

Hi there,
I'm building an online clothing store, and just getting started with WordPress and WooCommerce. My current choice is the Rustik WordPress theme, and before purchasing, I need to know if WooCommerce can do what we need for the store. There is a wealth of information on the forums, and it's tough for me to find the answers to my specific questions.
Could you tell me:
Is it possible to add additional drop down menus with cost/pricing to a sellable object? For instance, if we are selling a jacket, there will be "size", "quantity", "fabric", "collar shape" and "button style" drop downs. So, we are including additional options, each with it's own drop-down, with some of them adding a unit of cost to the cost of the jacket.
Hopefully that made sense? I have a mock-up image of the functions I'm asking about up here:
Ideally, we'd like to be able to add up to 5 additional drop-downs, with a possible cost adjustment attached to the options.
Will WooCommerce allow this?
- Kristen Kakos

Abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid and mineral–nutrient changes induced by drought and salinity in longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) plants

Longan species (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) exhibit a high agronomic potential in many subtropical regions worldwide; however, little is known about its responses to abiotic stress conditions. Drought and salinity are the most environmental factors inducing negative effects on plant growth and development. In order to elucidate the responses of longan to drought and salinity, seedlings were grown under conditions of drought and salt stresses. Drought was imposed by suspending water supply leading to progressive soil dehydration, and salinity was induced using two concentrations of NaCl, 100 and 150 mM in water solution, for 64 days. Data showed that salt concentrations increased foliar abscisic acid (ABA) and only 150 mM NaCl reduced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and increased proline levels. NaCl treatments also increased Na+ and Cl− content in plant organs proportionally to salt concentration. Drought increased leaf ABA but did not change IAA concentrations, and also increased proline synthesis. In addition, drought and salt stresses reduced the photosynthesis performance; however, only drought decreased leaf growth and relative leaf water content. Overall, data indicate that under severe salt stress, high ABA accumulation was accompanied by a reduction of IAA levels; however, drought strongly increased ABA but did not change IAA concentrations. Moreover, drought and high salinity similarly increased (or maintained) ion levels and proline synthesis. Data also suggest that ABA accumulation may mitigate the impact of salt stress through inducing stomatal closure and delaying water loss, but did not mediate the effects of long-term drought conditions probably because leaves reached a strong dehydration and the role of ABA at this stage was not effective to detain leaf injuries.

I really can't say enough great things about the Dana. In fact, part of me wants to keep this little gem all to myself so I can return any time without facing a sold-out situation. Another part of me wants to shout it out to all the families with young children how great it is. It's location, close to airport, on the bay, across from Sea World and close to a market is perfect. The hotel staff smothered us in service to the point that it became a joke among us, "I bet they're calling to make sure we got our towels...yup - that was it". The courtyard rooms, are small but fantastic for both children and parents. Children can run around in the enclosed courtyard while parents can relax or get ready. This feature afforded me the luxury of actually being able to relax for the first time in a long time. I was impressed with The Blue Pearl restaurant with its great service, prices and decent food. I wouldn't recommend renting a car considering the parking fee and the fact that you can do so from the front desk they day before you need it. The only bummer is that there's no kiddie pool but there is a gigantic sand pit with toys. The Dana is affordable and totally awesome and I pray to go back someday!

The Knights and Lady Knights golf teams each played in two matches last week, with both teams playing in an invitational Saturday as well. Both the boys and girls played Taylor County and Campbellsville at home at Rosewood Golf Club Monday of last week. On Tuesday, the teams traveled to play Adair County at Lindsey Wilson Golf Club. Saturday, the boys golf team played in the Garrard County Invitational, while the girls played in the Grayson County Invitational.
After six years of coaching the Marion County High School swim team, Colleen Ryan has resigned.
Ryan recently submitted her letter of resignation and will be moving back to her hometown of Madison, Sough Dakota, to accept a position of teaching English as a second language at Dakota State University.
"It was a difficult decision to resign, and leaving my swimmers was one of the toughest parts," Ryan said.
The Marion County High School boys and girls golf teams had a successful week. The boys and girls teams each picked up a pair of wins and the junior varsity boys team also collected a victory.
"I was pleased with the results of this week, even though we still aren't playing our best golf," Head Coach Chad Spalding said. "It is still very early in the season and look for our guys to continue to improve in the next few weeks."
Friday evening the Marion County High School girls soccer team began their season with the first of two scrimmages. Their opponent was Mercer County, and the home team dropped the contest 4-0.
"Collectively, we are not in game shape as a team and we must work harder in practice and become better conditioned," Head Coach Hart Hagan said.
From a defensive standpoint, the team isn't working together as a unit, according to Hagan.

Repaint USPS boxes
The downtown USPS mail boxes look faded and worn. It makes the whole downtown look trashy. How about a little red, white and blue paint?
Different punishments
A 17-year-old teen broke the law, had pot, someone else's ID and failed to stop at a stop sign while driving a BMW in Woodside, and his dad is called to come get him. What's up with that? I guess if you are 17 in Woodside, you are not an adult, but if you're 17 in the county you are, and you go right to jail. What a system we have.
While I understand we all have an opinion on ex-governor Sanford, I am wondering why the paper chose to print an editorial bashing him yet didn't print the writers name? The author needs to be accountable for his or her words.
Stealing from Red Box
If there are so many nefarious people in New Ellenton, not to worry. The Red Box does not take cash, only plastic. But I guess someone could try to steal the movies. Oops! I hope I didn't give someone an idea.
No collars
E- collars are for lazy people who have no consideration for their four-legged family members and are cruel on many different levels. I would like to know how many people that use this cruel short cut to training have tried the collar on themselves with the appropriate weight/intensity ratio. You are no better than anyone who leaves their dog tied to a 4-foot chain its entire life. Shame on you.
Who is paying?
I read in the Aiken Standard Tuesday morning that teen births cost the taxpayers of Aiken County about $6 million dollars and $197 million statewide. My question is – why do the taxpayers have to pay for these teenagers to have kids? When my children were born, I had to pay the hospital, doctor and also had to feed and clothe them with no help from taxpayers or anyone else. Am I missing something here? I don't feel I should have to pay one red cent for these kids to have kids. They should realize there is some responsibility to having children before they go out and get pregnant. Oh, by the way, when my children were born, I was happily married and had a good job and was a little past teenager.

Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads my post.
I have been looking around and cannot find a solution this is probably very easy to solve!
I simple want to echo the value of a custom field taken by Register Plus and display it within a post of the post Author.
So the custom field was "Address" and another could be "Postcode" and I simply want to echo the address and postcode at the end of the post!
Thanks in advance

I like using the FDA guidelines with the food pyramid or plate. Both are easy to use, quick, and reasonable, and safe. I have been doing that for 30 years and have no trouble maintaining my weight during those decades.
Be sure to eat breakfast, and have a little protein with it.
There are no rules that say you have to eat three meals a day. Break them up to have six instead. Works best since fewer calories per "mini" meal.
Stay away from fried foods, high fat food, and eating too many sweets. I allow myself 2-4 servings of treats per week.
I lost 1 pound a week every time I go "no-sugar" for a few weeks. Also lost 1 pound a week when I cut out all beef, pork, and dairy. Love the latter, so that is hard to do.
Good luck and keep seeking answers to customize your program.

I think that it is important to eat according to any health issues that you have. I have hypoglycemia so I eat 1 fruit a day. I eat low carbs...1 whole grain a day and get the rest of my carbs from the fruit and loads of veggies. I also try and eat 1 gram of protein per pound I weigh. I lift weights 4 days a week and I need the protein as weight lifting tears down your muscles so the protein builds them back up. I eat a clean diet not processed foods...
STEPHEN_NANNY brings up a great point about honesty vs. the perfect plan. Every time I tried to lose weight before, I had absolutely gorgeous menus and fitness plans... on paper. When I started honestly tracking, it wasn't pretty but it was effective. I still say my turning point was a couple days in when I broke down and ate my entire day's calories in a single meal. Instead of writing it off and promising to start again, I acknowledged that it was a legitimate part of my diet for that day and tracked the whole thing.
Anyway, here's some of what works for me:
- Balanced diet, following spark guidelines. I've found that as long as I'm accurate with tracking food and exercise, I lose weight (or maintain) at the expected rate.
- A usual day looks pretty close to what I have on my tracker today (except I usually have a healthier snack than today's cupcake. Party at work this afternoon). I start with a heavier carby breakfast, either english muffin and peanut butter, or oatmeal. Lunch is usually a big pile of assorted veggies on my plate with some carbs and protein of some sort, and dinner is some variation of veggies, a meat and about half a cup of starch.
- I try to avoid processed foods as much as possible.
- I do eat treats (mmm... cupcake), but I try to limit it to 1-2 per week. I also occasionally dine out, but no more than once or twice a month unless we're on vacation somewhere.
- My exercise schedule is five days of running per week and three days of strength training. I give myself one full rest day and stagger the cardio and ST. How much I do depends on whether I'm race training at the time. Right now I'm not, so most of my runs are only 20-40 minutes, with the exception of a long weekend run.
I'd recommend two things: First, look at what your goals are beyond weight loss. I know that's your main focus right now, but it helps to look ahead a few years and figure out what your lifestyle is going to look like then. When I started losing weight, I was just focused on the number. It's when I started looking at it as a permanent lifestyle change (I know, I hate that phrase but it works) that the changes themselves became permanent. I knew how to live like someone on a diet (which didn't work), but I had to learn how to live like someone who's active, healthy and runs marathons. It's a completely different mindset, but it's never too early to start trying to live for your long term goals.
The second recommendation is kind of the opposite - slow down a bit in the beginning. Again, for me success happened when I learned how my body works instead of just following a plan. The reason there are so many different plans and opinions out there is that there are as many different things that work for different people. If you try to make a thousand changes at once, it's hard to pinpoint what's working for your body and what's not. By slowly introducing changes, you can build up the ones that work and drop the ones at don't. I'd even recommend a week of just monitoring. Eat a fairly normal menu, but track it all and be aware of where your problem areas might show up. If you track for a week and realize that you ate 700 calories in unintended snacking between meals, that's automatically flagged as something that needs more attention when you do start to plan. And don't worry if you do go off track on something once you've started - identify what the causes might have been and start building a strategy for it. I think the number one thing I had to teach myself was that health isn't an all or nothing game that you can lose. You just keep modifying and learning.
Good luck!

everyone has different things that work for them.
Personally, I try to hit the gym at least 3 times a week and do a combination of strength and cardio exercises.
As far as diet - I try to keep it balanced. You may notice from my signature that I have had weight loss surgery, but that by no means lets me eat whatever I want. I still have to make good choices!
I prefer a lower carb approach, however, I do incorporate many different whole grains into my diet. I just stay away from the bad carbs like sugar and snacky type foods.
Some people have wonderful success on low carb diets, as well as diets high in fat. I can't eat high fat foods as they upset my stomach. So, I choose to follow a moderate fat, moderate carb and higher protein diet because I have found that is what works best for me.
It may take a little playing around to find the right approach for you.
If you haven't already, make sure to set up your Spark page with your goals! It will give you a range to work with for all of your major areas.
I can't stress enough how important tracking is. I track my food 360 days out of the year.
I wish you the best of luck!!
It took me a while to type that so I didn't see Stephen's post. What he suggests sounds a lot like what my experience has been. Another key thing is what you can live with for the rest of your life. So for me, overly strict "never eat this, never eat that" doesn't work as I would not be consistent with it. Trying to eat generally healthy most of the time works just fine. I do have to periodically reign in my portion sizes as I lose weight to continue making progress though. It is possible to eat too much of the good stuff. I do eat naughty things on occasion though (this time of year is the worst).
A lot of experts vary in their opinion of what is "important" and it also depends a bit on goals and if you have any health issues.
Generally, I think weight loss is mostly about how and how much you eat. The exercise (which I love) supports that but is a relatively smaller part. As far as what to eat, I think it is mainly about eating less than you burn in the day, but not too much less (as that can have health consequences or slow metabolism). I think calories in/out work best if you are in good health--so anything you can do to ensure that can help so sleeping enough, exercising enough but not too much for your body, drinking enough water to stay hydrated, and eating nutritious food most of the time can all help. Eating a good amount of fruits and vegetables can help you take in enough vitamins and enough fiber and fiber helps you feel less hungry so that helps with weight loss. Enough protein is important to help your body repair, but it is debatable whether high amounts do much. I found when I tried to eat nonfat, that I ate a lot and was very hungry, so I don't avoid fatty foods as long as they are healthy and just keep close track of the portions. So I will eat nuts, but I weigh out a 1/2 or 1 ounce serving rather than eating them directly out of the box. I find using a food scale really helps in keeping things accurate and honest, though I do take breaks from using it. I also tried very low carbs, and my body didn't like that either, I really do well staying pretty close to the RDA's (with slightly less carbs).
Exercise--I think it is important but really it is probably 20% more or less of the whole equation. Of exercise, I think it is very important for some of it to be strength training as that helps your metabolism and helps you keep your existing muscle (when you lose weight with no exercise you lose a mix of fat, water, and muscle if you exercise less of the loss is muscle especially strength training of some sort). Keeping your muscle, as much as you can, helps you maintain your loss after you reach goal as it keeps your metabolism up more than without the muscle. So with your plan, I would probably do 3 days strength and three days cardio with one day for rest or stretching. And try to stretch after each workout. You may not need a full hour everyday, you can get a good strength workout in 30 minutes or so plus warmup and cool down stretches.
Your plan sounds pretty good. I don't know about the supplements, I take a few myself: fishoil and a multivitamin. But I don't think they are generally a big factor, just look into whether the ones you take are safe or run them by your doctor for advice.
Of course, I am not an expert. I have read a lot about this stuff, consulted with some experts when I needed to, took a couple classes in college and just been interested in improving my own health and fitness. So that was really just a semi-informed layperson opinion and may not apply to what works best for you.

I promise, not using this as a health bible :) Just looking to hear everyone out, and maybe it will give me an idea of what works best for me.
The thing is, what works for many/most may not work for you. Maybe you have a unquenchable sweet tooth...maybe you can be disciplined about breads...maybe you must have some chocolate or you will go crazy...maybe you hate veggies...maybe you are a vegetarian. At some point, you'll have to customize and 'make it yours', and mix and match. I wish there was some magic weight loss regime that worked for everyone and me to make it easier. If you find it, let me know :)

Thanks for the tips! At this point I'm mostly looking for what works for the people here. I've researched what all kinds of experts think, but trying to figure out what has worked for the majority of folks in practice. I know everyone's opinion will be different, but maybe there is a pattern to what works best on average? Hoping to find that out at least! lol
Welcome - you are going to get alot of differing opinions here from people as to the best emphasis/balance of nutrition when it comes to weight loss. Low carb...low fat...balanced...managed fruit...more fruit...etc etc. Personally, I find the guidelines here at Spark, in the nutrition tracker (after you enter your info and goals), to be a healthy, steady, balanced, and sustainable eating regime. In the end, you know yourself and what you can mentally and physically handle, so any advice you get from a non-registered dietician (which means me also) should be taken in context. The registered dieticians here provide excellent advice.
My regime (in summary):
- stay within Spark nutrition guidelines, mostly (cals, carb, fat, protein)...balanced
- diligent honest tracking
- unlimited veggies (non starchy...more careful on the higher GI stuff)
- pretty much any fruit any time
- smart grains in moderation
- occasional treats
- alot of exercise (mixed cardio and strength...about 6 hrs/week)
A tip - track actual exercise and actual food that you are eating...honesty with yourself works better than a perfect plan.
Good luck!

I've made myself thoroughly crazy by trying to find out what I should be eating by researching online, so let me try to shoot this to some of you:
- Trying to lose 60 lbs.
- Planning to do about 45-60 minutes of working out, 6 days a week
- Don't care about anything at this point except:
a) eating healthier
b) weight loss
I love fruits and veggies, so no problem there. What I'm wondering is, what fuels weight loss best? Less carbs, more fat? Less fat, more protein? A combination of those? Something else? Everything you read says something different. I am ONLY concerned with losing weight at this point.
Is it possible to eat too many fruits (natural sugars). Thinking of going with the USDA guideline, unless I would benefit from more/less.
I already take the following supplements/daily habits, and have been for years:
1. B2 (for headaches)
2. Daily Multivitamin
3. Fish Oil
4. Selenium (antioxidant and joint health)
5. drinking a cup of green tea each day
6. melatonin each night (readjusting my sleep schedule lately)
7. Vitamin D (I work indoors)
8. Drinking 8-10 cups of water each day
If anyone has any suggestions for what's truly important to take into my body each day for best weight loss, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!!!

Feb 10, 2012Grand Slam Tennis is as slick and professional a tennis game as you could hope for, and though it lacks something of Top Spin's passion for the sport, the inclusion of Wimbledon and the wider roster really do make a difference.
Feb 27, 2012Career mode and online play offer up what you'd expect from a tennis game, albeit an uninspired experience that doesn't distinguish itself from its competitors. The game is helped by two unique and effective control schemes that offer up a completely new way to play.
Feb 10, 2012Grand Slam Tennis 2 is not a flawless game, especially if compared to the excellent Top Spin 4, but it is clearly a good step in a right direction. Innovative controls and the possibility to play in all of the four main tournaments make it a choice to take seriously in consideration by tennis fans.
Feb 9, 2012The one and only certified Grand Slam tennis game has solid gameplay mechanics and a good amount of game modes... but it remains one, maybe two, steps behind Top Spin and Virtua Tennis.
Feb 14, 2012Despite a complex control scheme, Grand Slam Tennis 2 is not a simulative game. There are few reasons to prefer it rather than Virtua Tennis.
Mar 9, 2012As possibly the only tennis game to be released in 2012 (no others are announced yet), and the only tennis game released in almost a year, Grand Slam Tennis 2 will definitely suffice, just don't expect a game-changer. There's a bit of work to be done before EA climbs to the position of number one seed.
Feb 15, 2012All the licensing in the world can't help you if the core gameplay is faulty, and in the case of Grand Slam Tennis 2 it just keeps serving double faults. The more you play it the less you find to like about it until eventually you just wish you hadn't started at all.

I enjoy Virtua Tennis and Top Spin, but they certainly are not completely authentic to the sport the way other sports games are to their sport. Out comes Grand Slam Tennis 2 and I think it's the most authentic Tennis game out. It bodes a nice roster, mixed with current stars and past legends, it's nice to have both. The graphics are very good, animations are on point. My problems lie within 2 pretty big modes if you ask me. The online mode and the Career mode. Obviously, the game can lag and certainly does and it hurts the game. It's not fun hitting the ball with a delay, sometimes even missing the ball when you were in position to hit it. On top of that, players tend to rush the net a lot, looking for easy, cheap points. Can I fault the game for that? Not sure. The career mode, like many career modes, provides a good amount of customization and realism to it, but damn is it boring. I love Tennis, but this process is so elongated and winning matches becomes way too easy, too fast.… Expand
Apr 26, 2013Still searching for a proper tennis simulation. Would say that Grand Slam falls slightly to far into the Arcade area. There are some niceStill searching for a proper tennis simulation. Would say that Grand Slam falls slightly to far into the Arcade area. There are some nice ideas, such as the shot stick using the right analog for doing different types of shots, that work well. However i found far to often the timing to get perfect strokes off. I play tennis and just feel that is a bit simplified. The AI was not all that great and it was so easy to win tournaments against the top professionals with a very poorly developed player. It took on a better side when playing people online as they actually used challenging tactics. Think Top Spin is still the best tennis series out there for Simulation of the sport but EA's effort does have some merit for what it tried to do and its very accessible to people who are not 100% familiar with the game. The tennis genre is never going to be perfect as I just don't think the audience is there to put alot more time and effort into development.… Expand

BMW is planning to release as many as 20 different front-wheel-drive models, Auto Express has learned. The new models will use the same platforms as the next-generation MINI and the production version of the Concept Active Tourer.
"We've got plans to produce up to 20 new models on this platform. Not all of them have been approved yet – we've got approval on 10-12 new models," said Ian Robertson, member of the board of management at BMW.
Although the first to arrive will be the new MINI Hatch, the firm is understood to be planning a range of MINI derivatives such as the Convertible, Coupe and Clubman models.
BMW's offerings are thought to include the next-generation X1 crossover, a small convertible sports car that could be called Z2 and the next-generation 1 Series, which is set to arrive in 2017.

For her latest piece, artist Marianne McGrath visited a telephone pole graveyard to pick out a 16-foot-long pole. Taking up a 20×10-foot section in her studio, this fallen telephone pole covered in ceramic leaves dominates most of her workspace.
"I wanted it to be bigger, actually," McGrath said with a smile. Humble but proud, McGrath explains that "Overgrowth" has been getting major attention from past gallery showings and has many shows lined up this year. McGrath graciously met with Austin Fusion Magazine to share tidbits about her childhood, her "hippy dippy" moments and how Austin's landscapes inspire her work.
AFM: Growing up in agricultural Oxnard, California, what was your childhood like?
MM: I felt like it was the middle of nowhere. I had a wonderful childhood. The farm I grew up had strawberry fields, citrus plants and there was alfalfa back in the day. I just didn't know anything else but that. We left the farm when I was 12 or 13 and we moved to suburban Camarillo. That was a big shift for me. I never really went back to the location where I grew up for a long time because the house was gone. They built over it. I think my bedroom is actually a shoe aisle. It was this really weird disconnect. I have all of these memories and I really started asking, how can these memories be valid if there's no longer a physical place in which to place them?
AFM: This theme of suburbia taking over natural landscapes dominates your work. Is this, in your eyes, a negative shift?
MM: I'm not really interested in making a political or environmentalism type of art because I'm still trying to understand it myself. It was a growing area. People needed a place to live. Dad couldn't run a tractor before 6 o clock in the morning without making neighbors mad. It just wasn't working. I really began to think about what I experienced growing up and how it is now.
AFM: Austin is so different from California, specifically the Los Angeles area. Austin's kind of an urban forest. Do you think that you find inspiration in living here?
MM: Definitely. What has the biggest effect on me is my drive to work everyday. I work up in Temple, which is 65 miles north of town, so I'm in the car for an hour each way. There used to be about 25-30 miles of just open ranch land. I'm watching everything in the North grow down. I don't know if Austin itself has affected me more than the edges of Austin.
AFM: How do you get inspired to start a piece?
MM: It grows very, very slowly. I think about a piece for a long time, and I think that's part of the reason my pieces get so big. I really like that production mode I get into and it sounds super hippy dippy, but it's kind of a meditation. I like the pieces to show that. I like someone to walk up to it and imagine the before and after. There's a narrative that goes with it.
AFM: Do you want to explain the narrative of "Overgrowth" a little bit?
MM: You know I'm still trying to figure out what this is about. It was so dry last summer and everything was so dead. I was so depressed. It was affecting me. I kept seeing all of these telephone poles with dead plants on it. So I thought, what if this was reversed? I was trying to get away from my old landscape from home and try to bring things more into the present for me. I found a guy in San Antonio who has acres and acres of telephone poles. It was a landscape that boggled my mind all on its own. There was one bush in our backyard that hadn't really died. It was a hackberry bush, so I modeled the leaves off of the hackberry. You know, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it means. I think it's kind of like, what's permanent? What's not permanent? Who's affecting who? Who's affecting what?
AFM: You pieces are extremely intricate. How long does it take you to complete a piece?
MM: I try not to keep track or I might jump off the roof. These big pieces will take me three or four months. It takes a long time and that's ok with me. Things change and things grow during that so it's an organic process.
AFM: You said that this is a meditative process for you. Do you work alone or is there anyone that helps you?
MM: I have one assistant, April Startzel, who saves my life on a daily basis. My job as an art instructor at Temple College obviously funds my work. I have a teach-by-doing attitude so to my students I'm like, "Wanna go to Houston? Wanna go to Dallas? Hey, let's go to Arizona. Let's go install this thing." They learn how to raise money and ask for funding and they come along with me. When I can I pay them, but it's usually in a hotel room and dinner. My dear husband helps me a lot. If Mike wasn't around, there's no way I'd be doing this. He's a huge support.
AFM: When viewers look at your pieces, is there a call to action or do you just want them to contemplate?
MM: I love it when I see someone sneaking a touch. I think there are subtle calls to them to maybe do something. I really like people to leave wondering. I like the idea of this staying in their head for a little bit.

AZUSA, Calif. (AP) -- Police in a Los Angeles suburb now say a report of the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old boy was false.
Azusa police had initially said the boy was walking home from a Labor Day family gathering when he fought off a man who tried to pull him inside a van.
But in a statement Wednesday, police said after investigating they are "confident no kidnapping occurred."
They had been circulating a description of the van and the man who had reportedly jumped from the passenger seat to abduct the boy.
Police did not say how the false story emerged, and said because of the age of the child and the sensitivity of the investigation they will release no further information.

The benefits of composting and how to start it in your home
Jan 9, 2012, 8:26 a.m.
With food residuals and yard waste constituting about 26 percent of the solid municipal waste in the United States, composting provides an important environmental benefit by reducing the burden on landfills. But beyond green reasons, composting helps create a useful organic waste product that would otherwise simply go to waste (pun intended!).
Benefits of Composting
In a nutshell, composting saves resources, money, and planet earth. Less garbage thrown out by your household means less waste filling up landfills. As more and more people implement composting in their households, waste management collection costs are reduced.
Like hair conditioner, compost applied to soil, especially in the spring and fall, helps to protect your soil from drying out. Your soil (particularly, loose soil) is then better able to retain moisture, which means less watering and lower water bills. On the other hand, compost helps clay soil drain better. Composting helps protect your plant roots from wind and sun damage as well as improve your soil's pH levels. Because of its high nutrient content, compost also reduces disease in your soil.
How to Start Composting
Choose your composting site. Let's be honest. Compost piles can reek. It's best to place your pile away from your house in an area that isn't too sunny. Because your compost pile needs good drainage, place it on ground rather than concrete.
Construct you pile. You can purchase commercially available compost bins or simply contain your pile using chicken wire. Alternatively, simply arrange your pile neatly on the ground.
Add your compost material. In a nutshell, compost requires three ingredients: browns (dead branches, leaves, and twigs), greens (grass clippings, coffee grounds, and fruit and vegetable waste), and water. The green materials create nitrogen, the brown materials furnish carbon, and the water helps the organic materials break down. Some people add newspaper, dryer lint, and cardboard as other "carbon-rich" items. Equal amounts of greens and browns along with different-sized materials are most ideal.
Turn your pile every other day. Use a pitchfork or shovel when turning your file to improve circulation and oxygen incorporation.
Water your pile. Your compost pile should have the texture and consistency of a wet sponge. Either over or under watering can slow down decomposition.
Use your compost. When your compost turns dark brown and is crumbly, it's ready to apply to your soil.
While earthworms, especially red earthworms, help your pile decompose faster, human or pet waste, meat scraps, fat, black walnut leaves, charcoal ashes, glossy paper, diseased plants, or materials sprayed with pesticides should never be added to a compost pile.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
It would be an exaggeration to say Dark Horse saved this 22-year-old Aliens one-shot from obscurity by re-publishing it in a slick, if slim, new hardcover, although it's tempting to do so, if only for the play on words.
In reality, re-releasing Aliens: Salvation in this nice, standalone, bookshelf-ready format probably has as much to do with putting out one more book with Mike Mignola's name on the spine as making sure that one of the better-looking, more idiosyncratically designed Aliens tie-ins is readily available.
The fact that it's back in print and on shelves this week is more important than the how and why of it, though.
It's penciled by Mignola, who also drew the original cover as well as what appears to be a new one (in his current, even more stripped-down style), from a script by Dave Gibbons. It's inked by Kevin Nowlan, colored by Matt Hollingsworth and lettered by Clem Robins.
Manga | More than 2.5 million copies of the English-language editions of Attack on Titan in print, Kodansha USA announced earlier this month at Anime Expo. Although that may seem like a lot, there are more than 44 million copies of the same 15 volumes of Hajime Isayama's post-apocalyptic manga in print in Japan. The Asahi Shimbun estimates the U.S. comics market as one-fifth the size of the Japanese market. [The Asahi Shimbun]
Passings | Bill Garner, the editorial cartoonist for The Washington Times from 1983 to 2009, has died at age 79. Garner was born in Texas and attended the Texas School of Fine Arts, then went to the University of Texas at Austin for one year. He served in the Army from 1956 to 1962, then went to work as an illustrator for The Washington Star. His editor there suggested he try his hand at cartooning, and it took. He moved on to become the editorial cartoonist for the Memphis Commercial Appeal, where in 1981 he won a National Headliner Award. His best-known cartoon is one he drew for the Times shortly after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, showing a tank with the bumper sticker "Saddam Happens" driving over a sand dune. [The Washington Times]
"Watchmen" artist and co-collaborator Dave Gibbons is auctioning off his "Whaat?" piece of diptych artwork – a parody of a Roy Lichenstein piece – on June 25 as part of an Ewbank's auction, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Hero Initiative.
Part of 2013's "Image Duplicator" exhibit curated by Rian Hughes at Orbital Comics in London, "Whaat?" came in response to a Lichenstein exhibit of "appropriated" comic art at the Tate Modern gallery in London. The Lichenstein exhibit gained a lot of controversy for using other artists' work without giving them fair compensation or credit.
Manga | Viz Media announced Friday it will publish a print edition of One-Punch Man, which managed to garner an Eisner nomination in its digital-only format. Zainab Akhtar provides some background on the book and reproduces a review by David Brothers. [Comics and Cola]
Conventions | Scott Eric Kaufman follows Devin Pike, one of the organizers of Dallas Comic Con, throughout the three-day event and gets a good look at what goes on behind the scenes: "As I witnessed these lines [of fans] snakes down corridors and spill into causeways, they began to seem like a physical manifestation of the passion fans have invested in these individuals and the iconic characters they've played, and it's up to people like Devin to ensure that that passion is rewarded with an experience that is, if not equal to it, at least a reflection of it." [Salon]
Dark Horse will celebrate the 200th issue of Dark Horse Presents in February with an 80-page installment that includes the first U.S. publication of "Masks," a short story by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn and veteran artist Dave Gibbons.
The story, about a mother turned masked vigilante, originally appeared in April as part of The Guardian's celebration of the opening of the "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K." exhibition at the British Museum. "Masks" marks Flynn's comics debut.
Acclaimed Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons has been named the United Kingdom's first comics laureate by the new advocacy group Comics Literary Awareness (CLAw).
The announcement was made Friday by Scott McCloud during the launch of the organization at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal, England. CLAw is dedicated to improving literacy among children through comics while promoting the variety and quality of the medium.
According to the group, the title of comics laureate will be bestowed every two years to a comics writer or artist in recognition of outstanding achievement in the field. In that role, the creator will champion children's literacy through school visits and education conferences. Gibbons will begin his term in February.
"It's a great honor for me to be nominated as the first Comics Laureate," Gibbons said in a statement. "I intend to do all that I can to promote the acceptance of comics in schools. It's vitally important not only for the pupils but for the industry too." Dave Gibbons takes up his position from February 2015.
He may tired of Earth, these people and being caught in the tangle of their lives, but even Dr. Manhattan can't resist the siren's call of Wal-Mart and its low, low prices. Or at least its conveniently placed bicycles.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that a 27-year-old Jacksonville, Florida, man was charged Tuesday with petit theft after he allegedly tried to walk off with a $130 bike from an Orlando-area Wal-Mart.
If you're looking for some Monday reading, The Guardian has released online all six comics created for the special issue of its Weekend magazine that brought together novelists like Gillian Flynn, Audrey Niffenegger and Margaret Atwood with comics artists like Dave Gibbons, Frazer Irving and Christian Ward. There are also articles in which Dave Eggers, Roger Langridge and Michel Faber, and Flynn offer a bit of insight into their contributions.
The issue, released in print on Saturday, is designed to celebrate he British Library's upcoming exhibition "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K."
To celebrate the British Library's upcoming exhibition "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K.," The Guardian's Weekend magazine is devoting Saturday's issue the medium, with six new collaborations between well-known novelists and established comics artists.
The Guardian website has already debuted Do You Hear What I Hear? by A.M. Homes (The End of Alice) and Frazer Irving, and Masks by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) and Dave Gibbons. Still to come: Freeforall by Margaret Atwood and Christian Ward; Thursdays, 6-8pm by Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler's Wife) and Eddie Campbell; Having renewed my fire by Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius); and Art and anarchy by Michel Faber (The Crimson Petal and the White) and Roger Langridge.
The magazine will appear in print on Saturday.
Adele Dazeem's Idina Menzel's performance of "Let It Go" from Frozen is inescapable (and downright catchy), I'd somehow missed widespread speculation that the big scene from Disney's latest animated blockbuster is an elaborate homage to the Mars sequence from Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
It's already inspired some mashups, but now Slate's Forrest Wickman draws our attention to one that may just erase any doubts, ending the debate once and for all (or, y'know, not): Alex Wolinetz's combination of the song's lyrics with Gibbons' panels depicting a self-exiled Doctor Manhattan. (You can see the rest of the mashup at Slate.com.)
Events | The British Library is staging a "long overdue" exhibit on comics, called "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K.," which will feature comics in a variety of genres from the 19th century to the present. Featured items include The Trials of Nasty Tales, which chronicles the 1972 obscenity trial of the editorial staff of Nasty Tales. "I went to a very traditional school where they would raid desks and take comics off to the orchard to burn them," said Dave Gibbons, one of the contributors to The Trials of Nasty Tales. "Fast forward 40 years and they now invite me to the school to lecture on graphic novels." The exhibition runs May 2-Aug. 14. [The Guardian]
Conventions | Registration begins Friday for the Small Press Expo 2014 Exhibitor Table Lottery, a new system designed to both bring the old process into the 21st century and address rapidly increasing demand. Online registration will continue through Feb. 14, with lottery winners announced on Feb. 21. There's a good deal of information to absorb, but convention organizers have created a lottery FAQ. [SPX]
Publishing | Reports of the demise of Ape Entertainment turns out to have been premature. The company, which had one of the bestselling digital comics a few years ago with Pocket God, has been quiet of late and recently canceled a number of outstanding orders. However, COO Brett Erwin emerged Tuesday to say the publisher is simply going through a period of reorganization after the departure of CEO David Hedgecock, who now works for IDW. Ape will release a new Fruit Ninja comic at the end of the month. [The Beat]
Legal | Ecuadorean cartoonist Xavier Bonilla has received a court summons on unspecified charges that seem to relate to a cartoon that President Rafael Correa finds offensive. The case was brought by Ecuador's new media regulator; Correa has stepped up attacks on the press in recent years, and the newspaper that runs Bonilla's cartoons, El Universo, has been prosecuted in the past. [Business Standard]
Censorship | Michael Dooley looks at successful and unsuccessful attempts to remove comics from schools and libraries over the past 13 years; this short roundup is informative in its own right, and it's apparently a sidebar to a longer article that's not available for free. [Print Magazine]
Legal | As the dust begins to settle on the ruling last month by a federal judge that Arthur Conan Doyle's first 50 Sherlock Holmes stories have lapsed into the public domain in the United States, out march the analyses pointing out the buts. Chief among them, of course, is the possibility of appeal by the Conan Doyle estate, which contends the characters were effectively incomplete until the author's final story was published in the United States (the 10 stories published after Jan. 1, 1923, remain under copyright in this country until 2022).
However, Publishers Weekly notes that because U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo didn't rule directly on that "novel" argument, the estate may be satisfied with the ambiguity of the decision, given that uncertain creators still may seek to license the characters to steer clear of any trouble. Estate lawyer Benjamin Allison also insists that the Sherlock Holmes trademarks remain unaffected, an assertion that puzzles author and scholar Leslie Klinger, who brought the lawsuit. "There is a very good reason why the Estate did not assert trademark protection: The Estate does not own any trademarks," he told PW. "They have applied for them, and there will be substantial opposition." There's more at NPR, The Independent and The Atlantic. [Publishers Weekly]
I'm very fond of the output of artist David Roach. The Welshman has been an on-off contributor to 2000AD since 1988, as well as regularly working as an inker on the strip features in Doctor Who Magazine. I don't remember him working much recently in the United States, where he regularly turned up at DC and Dark Horse both as a penciler and inker. He comes from a family of academics, and has been developing a parallel career of late as something of a comic book and illustration historian.
Roach regularly uses his Facebook page as an art blog, showcasing artists of all stripes, just as likely to be a fine artist as a comic illustrator, as well as occasionally featuring art from his own collection. This week he has been displaying scans from what he calls "surely the rarest collectible in the comics history."

Efforts to understand unusual weather or abrupt changes in climate have been plagued by deficiencies of the standard solar model (SSM) [1]. Although it assumes that our primary source of energy began as a homogeneous ball of hydrogen (H) with a steady, well-behaved H-fusion reactor at its core, observations instead reveal a very heterogeneous, dynamic Sun. As examples, the upward acceleration and departure of H+ ions from the surface of the quiet Sun and abrupt climatic changes, including geomagnetic reversals and periodic magnetic storms that eject material from the solar surface are not explained by the SSM. The present magnetic fields are probably deep-seated remnants of very ancient origin. These could have been generated from two mechanisms. These are (1) Bose-Einstein condensation [2] of iron-rich, zero-spin material into a rotating, superfluid, superconductor surrounding the solar core and/or (2) superfluidity and quantized vortices in nucleon-paired Fermions at the core [3].

The message finally seems to be getting through to people
fishing at a former Otago problem spot, a fisheries officer
Honorary fisheries officer Tangiwai Rewi said fisheries
officers had been patrolling Warrington Beach daily since
before Christmas, ensuring those collecting shellfish off the
rocks or off the coast were taking the correct numbers and
Patrols were stepped up at this time of year because of the
large influx of holiday-makers in Warrington, but fishing
behaviour had been very good, she said.
''Compliance has been really good. Two thumbs up.
''It's awesome because the message must be getting through,
finally. This must be the first holiday season I haven't had
to take details so fines can be issued.
''Usually there are people who have taken too much or stuff
that's under size.''
Ministry for Primary Industry fisheries officer Tony Paku
said it was a trend which had been noted throughout coastal
So far this season, no fines had been handed out in North or
South Otago.
He believed the increase in compliance was because of a
nationwide advertising campaign which called for fishermen to
''Check the Rules''.
As well as providing website details, the ministry has
provided a new smartphone application which can tell
fisherman how many and what size seafood can be taken.
It also gave area-specific information so there was no
confusion, he said.
''We want fishermen to be more aware of the rules.''

I was unfortunetly not smart enough to back up files before updating, how do I revert to the previous version of the theme? The newest one is BROKEN.
I was unfortunetly not smart enough to back up files before updating, how do I revert to the previous version of the theme? The newest one is BROKEN.
THERE ARE BASIC WORDS MISSPELLED IN THE CODING FOR GOD'S SAKE, no wonder it doesn't work right. I'm not going to try to correct that. If someone can tell me how to revert that would be awesome, otherwise I'll have to find another theme....
a link to a screen cap of the errors I'm getting since upgrade: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/ruthcatrin/Aviaryscaryyankeechick-comPicture1.png
ok, I got rid of the error for line 906, but it appears the "getimagesize" function is outright missing?? Does anyone have a copy of the previous version's functions.php they can send me to compare?
Yes I know I said I wasn't going to fix it, I'm to OCD for my own good.
BTW, if the theme creator reads this "maximan" and "miniman" is NOT correct spellings and fixing that corrects the width problems I was having....
Error fixes: I have no idea if these fixes are CORRECT, but they appear to get rid of the errors without breaking anything.
Ok, fix for the error for line 906:
to go edit themes and open the Theme Functions (functions.php) file
Scroll about 1/4 of the way down till you see this:
* Set stylesheet and few javascript
if(!function_exists("add_raindrops_stylesheet") and $wp_version >= 3.4 ){
function add_raindrops_stylesheet() {
global $raindrops_current_theme_name;
$themes = wp_get_themes();
$current_theme = $raindrops_current_theme_name;
$raindrops_version = $themes[$current_theme]['Version'];
$raindrops_version = "0.1";
$template_uri = get_template_directory_uri();
Find the section I bolded and either deleted it or comment it out.
For the errors for lines 2486 & 2487:
Find the following code (about 2/3rds of the way down in the functions.php):
* Template function print header image
* This function has filter hook name raindrops_header_image
* @param array( 'img'=> 'image uri' , 'height' => 'image height' , 'color' => 'text color', 'style' => '(default) background-size:cover;' , 'description' => 'replace text from bloginfo(description) to your text','description_style' => 'Your description style rule')
* @return string htmlblock

[WordPress site description]

if ( ! function_exists( 'raindrops_header_image' ) and $wp_version >= 3.4){
function raindrops_header_image($type = 'default', $args = array() ){
$image_modify = get_theme_mods();
$image_modify = $image_modify[header_image_data];
$url = get_theme_mod( 'header_image' );
$uploads = wp_upload_dir();
$path = $uploads['path'].'/'. basename( $url );
list($img_width, $img_height, $img_type, $img_attr) = getimagesize($path);
$ratio = $img_height / $img_width;
$raindrops_page_width = raindrops_warehouse_clone('raindrops_page_width');
switch( true ){
Comment or delete the two bolded lines.
If you're having issues with the 100% fluid page width not working right, find the following code in functions.php (very near the top, less than 1/4 of the way down):
* fluid page main column minimam width px
if( !isset( $raindrops_fluid_minimam_width ) ){
$raindrops_fluid_minimam_width = '481';
* fluid page main column maximam width px
if( !isset( $raindrops_fluid_maximam_width ) ){
$raindrops_fluid_maximam_width = '1280';
Correct the spellings of minimum and maximum.....

Israel beats Iceland in friendly
Omer Damari
Two goals from debutant Omer Damari steered Israel to a 3-2 victory over Iceland at the Bloomfield Stadium on Wednesday night.
Played in front of only 4,500 spectators at the home of Hapoel Tel Aviv, Damari, a striker for Maccabi Petach Tikvah, marked his first international match with a goal inside five minute.
Damari put Luis Fernandez's men two goals up with another smart finish after 14 minutes.
It was 3-0 after 27 minutes when Maccabi Haifa's Lior Rafaelov fired home.
Iceland improved in the second half with two goals making the scoreline respectable at the final whistle.
Israel manager Luis Fenandez said: "We played well in the first half, but our level dropped off slightly after the break.
"Overall, we did quite well and the most important thing is that we won."
Israel restarts their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign with games against Latvia and Georgia at the end of March.

Broadband tower approved for Vt. townOctober 16,2013Broadband tower
approved for town
GUILFORD The Vermont Public Service Board has approved the building of a 90-foot-tall wireless-broadband tower in Guilford.
The board said VTel Wireless Inc. in Springfield has taken reasonable steps to make sure the structure wont have any undue adverse effect on aesthetics at or near the site on Barney Hill Road.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that VTel is working to expand its broadband service statewide. The company is not offering traditional cellular service, but rather a high-speed, wireless Internet service that will compete with traditional Internet providers such as cable companies.
The company has run into opposition in proposing new towers in Wardsboro and Newfane.MORE IN This Just In

i know this has been addressed many times, but still cant find a solution. got a NC for xmas, couldnt register, server down, then 3 calls and 4 hours later to Tech support no help. took to store and they said it was defective, so i had it replaced. got it home, and it worked, but is unresponsive most of the time, web browsing keeps dropping connection, so i updated the software which took 5 hours to download. i have two apple tvs, an ipad, two iphones, and an imac all wireless and blazing fast. But this NC is just horrible. i am highly frustrated, but some people seem to love it, so this is my last chance.
anyone have any ideas why this would be slow, or constantly searching for wifi over and over again. i have wpa2 running, everything is up to date and mac filtering is off.
thanks ahead of time
Some users haven mentioned that 802.11n routers are causing these kind of problems.
If you have a 802.11n router try setting the default speed to 802b/g.

"Town of Bol on Brac Island" Top 5 Page for this destination Bol by csordila
Bol Travel Guide: 76 reviews and 219 photos
Across from Split lies the Island Brac, the highest and by size the third largest island in the Adriatic. It is covered with pine woods, vineyards and olive groves and the world famous limestone been used in the construction of many important buildings of the world.
There are many bathing-places and resorts on Brac: Postire, Milna, Supetar. The island has something for everyone.
Bol, one of the coastal settlements on the southern side of the island, on the foot of the highest hill, Vidova gora. Bol is also the biggest tourist center of the island because of its world famous beach - Zlatni rat.
There, the grace of nature made everything better than man could do, proofing right those who claim that nature is the greatest artist.
The sea at the entire area is quite crystalline. On still days the stones on the sea-floor that are 30 feet down look only an arm's length away.
These make the Adriatic special.
The only miraculous fact is that, the creative passion of nature was unfolded in such abundance that one becomes breathless in presence of all that beauty.

What a beautiful beach and the Plitvice Lakes National Park looks fantastic. Nice page!
Don't know that I could eat a sea urchin, much less a live one! Looks like a lovely place to visit :-)
Bol looks very lovely, wouldn�t mind visiting. What a strange name though "Bol" - bol means pain in the Serbian language, I wonder if it means something else in Croatian?
Nice page! I visited Split for one day only this past summer, but had no additional time to visit Brac. Having visited Croatia twice now, I think it is quite beautiful!
Fantastic little page about Bol, which we visited for 3 days last September. I even went for a swim at the famous Zlatni Rat beach. Well done. :-)
Yikes -- eating them alive..hmmm, ket me reconsider that --- might be a nice experience...okay, maybe...nice tip though!
Absolutely beautiful!!! I must visit Croatia sometime

Released: Aug 21st, 2007

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Climactic Tales is part of a continuing line of co-productions by Playgirl DVD and Wicked Pictures, and so it's understandable that the model viewers are going to be. As an example, the bonus scene is a solo male masturbation joint with a muscle bound guy named Geo.
Every scene is incredibly ornate, and the whole cast is top notch, in both physical appearance as well as performance. However, when the 'the gloss factor' (i.e. music, costumes, setting etc.) is turned up as high as it can go it can overshadow the sex.
Climactic Tales is about as glossy as you can get, so it's either (a) some of the greatest couple-friendly porn ever made, or (b) washed out romanticism that plays more like a music video and loses sight of the animalism of sex … or both. On the quality of the talent alone, it's worth picking up to render your own decision.
Retailing: Sophisticated and couple-friendly.
