Mentawai Playground Beng Beng surf camp provides a comfortable place, and also cheap surf trip to Mentawai. Their surf camp is located exactly in front of beng beng. There are five surf spots in the locations area and its about half an hour walking distance.
The accommodation have showers, refrigerator for the cold drinks and beers, fans, and power jacks in every room for charging up your gadgets.
A very consistent world class wave, an extremely rippable left. This spot is loads of fun and probably one of the easiest waves to surf in the Mentawais. It's the deepest and safest wave in the area and also pick up a bit more swell than other locales. There are five more breaks in the area, including e-bay and pitstops, nestled inside a small bay with one of the most scenic views imaginable all around you.
This is a hollow left that barrels off the take-off with a short wall down the line. A great option when a lot of swell is hitting. A hollow, fast, powerful left. A world class wave for experienced surfers. Watch out for the two rocks on the inside. Great barrels, and turns into a surfing paradise at six feet offshore. There is a heavy warble that hits as you are taking off. Make the drop and don't get thrown by that first warble and chances are you'll get a mean aqua blue barrel. The scenery alone will blow you away. Besides its aesthetic beauty, double overhead e-bay is a beast and forces to be reckon with.
A shorter right that breaks down the point from bank vaults. Definitely fun and rippable. Usually has fairly deep water from the takeoff to the inside. It ends in a riptide that sucks all the water back out to sea. A good option when there's not much swell, and usually the most consistent spot in the area.
This is the right off the peak at e-bay. A playful right that can offer some cover-ups off the take-off, but mostly a high performance wave with air sections at the end, ends in a sandy channel.
This wave is an absolutely amazing right-hander when it gets good breaking in deep water in two different sections. It is the big wave of the area. Breaks in all tides but better with an incoming tide. At low tide it can be unforgiving. It can handles up to 15 feet. Great take off with a big barrel section at the end. It can be a classic Hawaiian style deep-water wave.
There are several breaks located further away than the surf breaks above, they are john candy, riffles, 4bobs, krambak left, no kandui or pistol, baby kandui, burgerworld, and hideaway.
This surf camp will take place in Masokut Island, Mentawai, Indonesia.
Daily meals are included in the package. Mentawai Ebay Playground Surfcamp offers wide selections of local indonesian dish, such as nasi goreng, mie goreng, rendang, and other Padang food. They also provide free drinking water, local fruit, and coffee and tea in the morning.

A few marine plants are found, but no land vegetation, except an occasional fragment of fossil wood. The absence of terrestrial plants is the more remarkable, as extinct birds and numerous amphibians indicate that dry land must have existed. This wood was, in a few instances, bored before fossilization by some small animal. This might have been done by the larva of an insect (a "borer") when the tree was living, or later by a terdo* when the trunk floated in the water. In either case, it showed that the Cretaceous vegetation was subject to the same enemies as that of the present period. Some of this wood was in a charred condition, and would burn freely. Other specimens were changed to almost pure silica, the cavities studded with crystals of quartz. In one case, a log weighing five hundred pounds had all conditions of the transformation; a portion had the appearance of soft decayed wood, which crumbled in the handling, and other parts rang like flint under the hammer. Occasionally specimens were converted into chalcedony, but the annual growth of the wood distinctly remained. In a single instance we detected the fibrous structure of the palm.
* A teredo, T. tibialis, has been found in the Cretaceous of Alabama.
It is rather singular that we have never found the leaves so common in our Dakota, and which are equally numerous in the Tertiary of Colorado, as islands must have existed in the Cretaceous ocean, as the resting and breeding homes of the birds.
A new and rare form of Crinoid, first found by Prof. Marsh, in the Uinta Mountains, was in a few instances procured by our party. It is the only Crinoid known to the American Cretaceous. It is described by G. B. Grinnell in the Am. Jour. of Science and Art, July, 1876, page 81, as Uinta-crinus socialis.
Of mollusks, the most common are Ostrea congesta and Inoceramus problematicus. Less common, but still seen in many strata, are fragments of the large Haploscapha, with occasionally a perfect specimen. Another large bivalve we have never seen described, measures from thirty to thirty-three inches in length. It is thin, with a transverse fibre like the Inocerami, and always lies crushed flat in numerous fragments nearly in their normal position; a few Gryphea; also fragments, frequently weighing ten pounds, of a large Hippurites, near H. Toncasianus. Near Sheridan we recently discovered a bed of Baculites, and on referring them to Prof. F. B. Meek for identification, he decides that they are B. anceps, not before found nearer than New Mexico. In his kind response to my inquiries, dated Nov. 21, 1876, he writes:
"One fact in regard to your specimens, however, is curious to me. All the other forms like this I have ever seen from any part of the Far West, come from our Nos. 4 and 5;* while all of the other species of anything yet known from those upper rocks is distinct from anything found in Nos. 2 or 3.** Can it be possible that you might have found this in an outlier of Nos. 4 or 5? It has the shell substance well preserved like the fossils of those upper beds, while those in the lower beds are usually casts."
* Fort Pierre and Fort Hill groups.
** Fort Benton and Niobrara.
The situation of the Baculites was, however, clearly in the Niobrara, as the characteristic fish and saurians were found fifteen or twenty-five feet above, in the bluffs not two hundred yards distant. It is also a common incident to find the shell substance of Inoceramus problematic, etc., in excellent preservation in Wallace county. Almost all the shells and fragments are covered in part by the Ostrea congesta, which abound everywhere,
But the great feature of this division of the Cretaceous consists in its varied and rare forms of the vertebrate fossils. Four seasons, of six or seven months each, (1874, '75, '76, '77,) have been spent by myself, with from two to five assistants, in collecting these vertebrates for Yale College.
The least interesting are the fish, which have, however, given us many new species and some new genera. The small ones are nearly entire, but the larger ones are represented only by well preserved portions of the skeletons. Teeth of Salachians are quite common. At one locality over four hundred were collected in an area of thirty inches, and apparently from the jaws of one individual — Ptycodus mortine — and all in excellent preservation.
Quite recently I had the good fortune to find the teeth, cartilaginous jaw, and vertebrae of a shark — Galeocerdo falcatus — three portions, which, I think, have never hitherto been found together. The flat, porous vertabrae had occasionally been collected, but we had been unable to give them their generic name. The teeth were frequently procured.
Prof. Cope, in his "Cretaceous Vertebrata," has described thirty-six species of fish, and some twenty others have quite recently been found. In 1872, only twenty-four species had been collected from Kansas. The most unique is a new genus (three species), which has a snout appended to the skull like the sword of the sword-fish, but conical in shape, composed of a compact bundle of fibers. In the largest species, this snout is about fifteen inches long, and one and a half in diameter at the base. Prof. Cope has a representation of a portion of the jaws in Plate XLVIII, Figs. 3-8, under the name of Erisicthic nitida. But, unfortunately, his specimen did not then embrace the snout or much of the skull, so that a correct idea of the fish is not obtained from his description. But in Hayden's Report for 1876, after procuring better specimens, he has given a correct description.
In individuals, the fish were quite numerously represented. In the season of 1875, our party saw, according to my note book, 1,207 specimens, without counting the teeth of sharks. Many of these, however, were so fragmentary that we did not collect them. The genera Portheus and Empo were most abundant.
Several species of marine turtle have been obtained. One described by Cope, (Protostega gigas) was fifteen feet in the expanded flipper. The type is embryonic. This is seen in the structure of the ribs, which are more free and detached from the dermal plates of the carapace than those now living. Other species, however, from the same horizon, did not show any embryonic features. One, one-fourth as long, had its ribs closely united with the plates, and in other characteristics had the semblance of a mature type.
A small species was somewhat common whose size was about that of a fresh-water turtle now found in Kansas. Some species, which Prof. Marsh has not yet had time to examine, will undoubtedly be new to science.
Less in number than the fish, but of more importance, are the reptiles of the crocodile and Saurian type. My note book shows four hundred and seventy-six specimens seen by our party in 1875, of which one-half might be called good, and some of them equal, if not superior, to anything previously found in Europe or America. Prof. Cope, in the work above quoted, has made a list of all the genera and species then known in the Cretaceous, which shows fifty-one hitherto described, of which Europe furnishes but four, and Kansas twenty-six. To this latter number must be added eight or ten which have been discovered by our party within three years, which are now in possession of Prof. Marsh, who will soon publish a technical description of them. New Jersey comes next, furnishing fifteen species.
Although this formation extends quite widely into Nebraska, but few vertebrates have been found within that State. They have been collected most abundantly in the Saline and Smoky Hill valleys. Let it be borne in mind that this deposit is never over two hundred feet in thickness.
Our labors during four years past have added much to the knowledge previously obtained in regard to the structure of this class of reptiles, particularly of the smaller bones and hind limbs. The collections from Kansas in the possession of Prof. Marsh, will leave little to be needed in the study of the anatomy of Saurians, as they are more full and complete than any in Europe.
The Saurians are of all sizes. One from Jewell county, an Enaliasaur, was about seventy feet long, while two species are less than six feet. Most frequently they are from twenty-five to forty feet in length.
During the summer of 1878 Prof. Snow found, in Gove county, a fine specimen of a Saurian, (a Liodon, resembling Liodon dispelor) which for the first time contained the print of the hide or skin of the animal. The scales are similar to those of a snake, in regular position and clearly defined. Solitary scales had been obtained before by Prof. Marsh, but their true character was uncertain. Aside from the discovery of the skin, the specimen contains over two hundred bones in most excellent preservation. For a more particular description see the article of Prof. Snow in the Proceedings of the Kansas Academy of Science for 1878.
Specimens are frequently represented by a few bones washed out and lying exposed. The best are obtained by finding a projecting fragment, and then following the skeleton into the compact shale or chalk. This sometimes requires much hard labor but it is the most satisfactory, as the fossils are, in such cases, in a better state of preservation. A single specimen has cost us as much as six days' labor. As the bones are sometimes friable, drawings of the best specimens are made as soon as uncovered, before removal. The fossilizing material is lime, combined with a little silica; the minute striae and muscle markings are in most excellent preservation. But in some cases they are impregnated with gypsum or iron (sulphide and oxide) when the fine texture and characteristic markings are destroyed, and the fossils comparatively worthless.
Our researches were confined to the slides and ravines, which had expose chalk and shales. These constituted but a small portion of the country, but slowly being enlarged by the action of the elements. Miles of these exposures yielded us nothing, and again a small area furnished good specimens. The inference is, that the animals frequented favorite haunts, to the exclusion of larger areas. Three long seasons spent on this territory, besides the labors of other collectors, have nearly exhausted the present supply of rare fossils. As future washings occur, more specimens may be obtained.
Coprolites of fish and Saurians are frequently found, containing the remains of the food of the animal. Small fish appear to be the most common food; but in one instance a rare crustacean was found preserved in this way. The coprolites are not so hard as those of Europe, being a little firmer than chalk and finer-grained.
The following analysis of a Saurian coprolite, not containing bone, from Wallace county, is by George E. Patrick, Professor of Chemistry in the University of Kansas:
|Organic matter
|Oxide of iron and alumina
|Alkalies, small amount undetermined.
|Silica (combined)
|Phosphoric acid
|Carbonic acid
|Sulphuric acid
In some cases the undigested organic matter (bones) was one-fourth of the whole weight.
We sometimes find remains of the indigestible portions of food between the ribs where the stomach is situated. In the Plesiosauri we found another interesting feature, showing an aid to digestion, similar to many living reptiles and some birds. This consisted of well worn silicious pebbles, from one-fourth to one-half inch in diameter. They were the more curious, as we never found such pebbles in the chalk or shales of the Niobrara. How far the Saurians wandered to collect them is a perplexing problem. Their structure does not indicate much ability to crawl on land, and yet it is probable that they frequented some of the islands of the old Cretaceous ocean for that and other purposes. As such substances remain in stomachs of low organization for a long time, the visits to dry land would not necessarily have been very frequent. Sharks' teeth were sometimes found in the remains of food, showing the taste of the Saurians and their high carnivorous natures. On the other hand, we frequently found evidence that the sharks returned the compliment, for bones of Saurians were found with the marks of the sharp serrate teeth of Galeocerdo, which could not have been made unless the bones were still fresh and unhardened. That such huge reptiles must have had fierce contests with each other is also apparent. The type of the head and teeth would indicate this. But in addition it was no uncommon thing to find Saurian ribs which had been broken and again united while the animal lived. In one case a more serious injury occurred. In a fine specimen, one of the most perfect collected by us, we discovered that the animal had received a very serious injury to his back, which he had outlived. Five of the vertebrae had been fractured so seriously as to destroy many of the spinous processes, after which it had healed, but the whole had grown together, (anchylosed) so as to lose the natural form of the separate bones and become a confused, firm mass. The enemy that could have thus injured a monster thirty-five or forty feet in length, and whose jaws of defense were thirty-three inches long, must have made a fierce contest. When we know that the largest (Brimosaurus, Leidy) was seventy feet long, with a head six feet, those of half that size should avoid an encounter, and those only six feet in length might have been swallowed whole.
The Niobrara of Kansas also affords the only Pterodactyls yet known in the United States, and we believe in America.* They differ widely from those of the
* Since the above was written, my young friend, S. W. Williston, of Manhattan, has found several fragments of a small specimen in Wyoming.
Old World in the absence of teeth, and general structure of the head; the latter is much more elongated and beak-like. On the great divergence from the European type, Prof. Marsh* has based a new sub-order, Pterodontia, of two genera, and described six species, viz.: Pteranodon ingens, P. occidentalis, P. velox, P. longiceps, P. comptus, and Nyctosaurus gracilis. Cope** has also described two species: Ornithochirus umbrosus, and O. harpia. But it is possible that one or two species of the two authorities may be identical. They average much larger than those of Europe, several species being from twenty to twenty-five feet in extent of wing. Fragments of the bones are frequent, but usually poorly preserved, strongly contrasting in this respect with the other vertebrate remains. The long bones, being very hollow, were compressed to the thickness of one-tenth of an inch, and exceedingly friable. The articulations, being thicker, are firm and in better preservation. Bones of the head were more rare. In one instance (of P. ingens), I uncovered a hand, with the four long bones of the wing-finger, as they lay in place, and found them measuring respectively twenty-four and a half inches (24 1/2), twenty and three-quarter inches (20 3/4) fourteen and a half (14 1/4) and nine (9) inches; or five feet eight and three-quarter inches (5ft. 8 3/4 in.), in total length. The width of the first, as it lay compressed to one-tenth of an inch, was about two inches. My note book shows seventy-two (72) individual specimens seen in 1875; but little more than half of which could be saved, as much as we valued this rare fossil. In some instances on opening a piece of chalk, the outline could be distinctly seen, but the bone crumbled to dust. In 1876, we were more successful, and the Museum of Yale College has a collection exceedingly rich, particularly in the smaller and frailer bones, not well represented in the European species.

In Dr. Cones' Key to North American Birds, published in 1873, Prof. Marsh has given a list of the fossil birds from the Cretaceous of North America, at which time thirteen species were known, all first described by himself. Of these, five are from the Niobrara beds of Kansas. To this we have added two species, making (as some others are not yet fully identified) at least seven from Kansas. Five of these are so anomalous as to be provided with jaws and teeth. These Prof. Marsh described as a sub-class, Odontornithes***. In the Odontolcae we have birds of the largest class of aquatics, measuring five to six feet in height. The teeth are set in grooves in the jaws. The wings are very rudimentary, too weak for flight. The Odontotormae, on the other hand, are small, with strong wings, giving great power of flight, and the teeth are set in sockets. And what is more singular, the vertebrae are biconcave, like a fish, but still retaining the bone structure of the bird. Bones of the legs and wings were of the usual bird structure. The best preserved (Ichthornis despar) was found by the writer and first described by Prof. Marsh in the American Journal of Science, Vol. IV, p. 314, and illustrated in Vol. X, p. 402. Professor Marsh has now in press a monograph on the Cretaceous birds, where all will be fully described and illustrated.

Unanswered: Array usage
I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to use a string array during a loop statement. My goal is to validate a group of textboxes while leaving a few others out of the validation loop. I want to avoid validating two textboxes with the names of txtAccountingID and GrantDuration. I would really like to use an array to represent the list of textboxes I don't want to validate.
My problem seems to lie in the For statement - Ctrl.Name <> TextBoxName() - see code below
Can anyone guide me on how to use an array to represent a list of names?
Dim Ctrl As Control
Dim RedInt As Integer
Dim TextBoxName(1) As String
RedInt = 0
TextBoxName(0) = "txtAccountingID"
TextBoxName(1) = "GrantDuration"
For Each Ctrl In Controls
If TypeOf Ctrl Is TextBox And Ctrl.Name <> TextBoxName() Then
... remainder of code works...
Thank you in advance for any help

Health Canada is revising the label for Plavix in that country to reflect new information about the concurrent use of the blood thinner and other drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Many Plavix users take PPIs to counteract the ulcers and heartburn that can accompany use of the blood thinner.
In 2009, Health Canada updated the labels for ALL PPIs to recommend they not be used with Plavix, after some research indicated that the drugs could reduce the efficacy of Plavix. But according to a statement issued yesterday, new studies indicate that not all PPIs impact Plavix in the same way. Health Canada is now recommending that:
• PPIs known to strongly or moderately reduce Plavix effectiveness should be avoided. Omeprazole (sold as Losec in Canada, and as Prilosec in the U.S.) is one of these.
• If a PPI must be used in a patient taking Plavix, consider a PPI that does not interact as strongly. Pantoprazole is one of these.
The new Health Canada recommendations apply to the following PPIs
In addition to omeprazole, the new Health Canada recommendations apply to the following PPIs:
• Dexilant (dexlansoprazole)
• Nexium (esomeprazole)
• Prevacid (lansoprazole)
• Pantoloc and Panto IV (pantoprazole, sold as Protonix in the U.S.)
• Tecta (pantoprazole/magnesium)
• Pariet (rabeprazole, sold as Aciphex in the U.S.
PPIs are also available in combination with other drugs, for example Vimovo, which contains Nexium.
In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that patients taking Plavix avoid Nexium and Prilosec because they could reduce the effectiveness of Plavix. At the time, the agency said it was not known how other PPIs would impact Plavix.
The FDA also recommended that Plavix patients who needed relief from heartburn consider other drugs that don't interfere with its efficacy, including Maalox or Mylanta, Zantac (ranitidine), Pepcid (famotidine), or Axid (nizatidine).

It doesn't look like Vol 10 is locked yet....
Erin, I hope you start feeling better soon. I have no idea what tortilla chips do.
Everyone, I hope your Monday went well and a good week is ahead for all!
I'm gonna pay some bills and do the checkbook tonight - wish me luck!!!!!!!! May the Gods of Checkbook Balancing and Simple Math be on my side tonight!
had a nice vacation @ home with my honey. miss em' now that i'm back @ my own home.
here's to better tomorrow's
Erin--it sounds like you're in a lot of pain right now. Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your doctor appointments. You better get that hand looked at soon--I think joint destruction and deformity can be stopped but it has to be caught early. I hope your doctors get to the bottom of it right away.
I've noticed that the enbrel seems to make me think clearer. Have any of you enbrelers had that effect? I'm very clear-headed and on top of things the first 3-4 days after an injection, and then my brain starts hurting and I get foggy around Wednesday (I take my injections on Saturday). I think it's probably just fatigue creeping back in towards the end of the week--I get up too darn early for work. Joint-wise, I think I'm getting a bit worse because my shoulders have even less mobility now than before. Rheumy said arthritis would probably get worse before it gets better.
I'm very excited about my girls' first dance recital on Sunday. They are 3 years old and have absolutely no idea what is going on. One of them dances with the rest of the girls in their class; the other stands there most of the time with her arms crossed. When she does dance (and she dances beautifully when it's her idea), she doesn't sing the words like the rest of her class, but makes sound effects consistent with the dance moves. It is hysterical. I have no idea what they're going to do when they get in front of an audience for the first time. I hope it doesn't traumatize them.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
Erin - I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry you are hurting so bad.
Ducky - I spent too darn long on HW that night AND tonight and STILL have not hit the bills (i'm gonna be late if I don't get on it!) Last night the family went out....so I slacked off altogether! I'll let you know how it goes.
ElCamino - have you ever tried acupuncture? my husband is a cashier and had some horrible problems with his arm and mobility. He found a really good acupuncturist and she surprisingly helped him out quite a bit.
I needed a haircut 3 months ago!
Ahhh, the lottery! Then I could spend the money to invent me a self-typer, just THINK what I want to say and the computer types away at it.....my poor fingers would get such rest!
No Kidding! I wonder how well it works.
Technology never ceases to amaze me.....but I'm still waiting for Star Trek medical technology - THAT I'd like!
Moanin' Everybody!
Well, I was supposed to have a rheumatology appt tomorrow, however, my referral had expired, and my insurance company hasn't approved a new one yet, so I have to wait... again... So frustrating... but what can you do?
How have you all been? I'm sorry I haven't been around lately... but rest assured even if I am not posting, I am still reading all the posts...
I think it is great that we have gotten some new members! Very cool! And a big thank you to our devout members that post daily!
Hope all is well with everyone - I am off to soak in a hot tub, TS Alberto has kicked my butt and my joints need a rest...
How is everyone? We haven't checked in in quite a while.
Erin, I'm worried about you? Are you ok? How was your lovely weekend?
I'm the same. I think my medications are doing something, but not nearly enough. Also, don't know whether it's the plaquenil, the enbrel, or the combination of both of them. I'm hanging in there, but completely losing my patience with this whole mess. I realize it could be a lot worse, but I am just so tired of it. And then, not having a definitive dx on top of all this. The good news is that I've been carefully tracking pain and stiffness in my joints everyday now for the last 3 months. I've charted the data in connection with the enbrel injections and guess what? There doesn't appear to be any connection at all. I can show the charts to my rheumy and see what he says, but I think enbrel may not be the right drug for me. Unless I just need to add mtx to the mix. Don't know what the next step might be, but rheumy did mention kinaret. Don't really want to go there because he said that not a lot of people have a positive response to it. But we'll see. I don't see him for another couple of weeks.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Dah! Das furloin Camama must see doctor Freud dah? LOL.
Ooooh, this is the evening post of "Moanin' HW"! at the witching hour it is! Awe, Camama...you've got it in you, you know you do. But once...once you start to drop and it goes down and down....you'll get it going. In illness the body kinda goes into "crisis" mode & sometimes clings on to every darn calorie to fight disease because it thinks it need to. And add on any extra bonus you might have to make things harder...well there you go. Not excuses, but we've gotta know what where dealing with. Might not be able to lose weight the way a normal healthy person does.
So I watched a cute film. "The Millions" & "Shadow in the Sun" both very nice.
Camama, that was soooo peculiar you mentioned the other day "The Enchanted Cottage" my mom & me watched it that Saturday morning on TCM!
Wishing everyone well.
Too funny. The Enchanted Cottage just struck a chord with me, you know? Strange.
I have tried and tried in the past to loose with absolutely no luck. The doc basically said, 'your liver, your metabolism - it's all screwed up after all this...it's gonna take a long time with a LOT of hard work to get your body going..." So, needless to say, after all I've been thru, I just don't want to do it as I get so darn frustrated after TRYING so hard and not seeing even a few pounds drop. This old dog just enjoys her mood food and I'm gonna regret it in the end. I have children who need me and I need to do it for THEM if I can't at least do it for ME and tell myself those dang doritos (or whatever) will still be there next YEAR and convince myself, 3 months of dieting and not loosing more than 2 pounds is not a reason for giving up. I really do NOT want to die and I have too many close calls these last 3 years to know I'm not ready to leave just yet.
CaMama, you're really going through the ringer here. Hope your recent bloodwork shows something. I guess you know, though, that Lupus symptoms often show up years prior to your bloodwork showing anything. The important thing is taking care of your symptoms. I understand about joint pains in addition to everything else going wrong--it just becomes overwhelming at times.
Now, as a psychologist I can offer you psychological advice for just $300/hour! What a deal! Wheen das depression descends on yah, do dah following:
1) Redecorate dah house--start weeth weekend marathon watching dah HGTV

I should walk into that old pediatrician's office now & drop my trousers! Shame on her...I'de give anything to have my Linda Hamilton biceps back. Funny thing is my 8 year old nephew weighs more than me now. And even at 100 pounds like now...I still can find things to say "ewww" about. Did the same at 90 pounds! Strange how women's issues like this is.
BUT...WE ALL ROCK!!!!!! And you're loved for what you do for other's.
A healthy lifestyle will come...just don't give up.
Erin, you're right. That pediatrician should be flogged! Keep in mind that the issues regarding weight resided with her, and not you. Chances are she failed to resolve the oedipal complex. Or was that penis envy?

Best Product: Retractable Indoor Clotheslines
Visiting the parents a few weeks ago in Florida, we had the pleasure of using a retractable clothesline in our bathroom (see pic above). Simple in design and able to disappear in a jiffy, we thought this remained a great way to dry clothes with needing bulky drying racks....
One side has a strong nylon cord with a button which pulls out of the housing and can be pulled across and attached to the plate opposite. Regular reach is about 8' and the cord tension is strong enough to hang heavy, wet clothes.
On arriving home, we did some searching online in order to roundup a bunch of sources for home shoppers. Here is a list of what we found:
• Polished Chrome for $35
• Clothesline Shop for $23
• Lehign (plastic) for $7
• Franklin Brass for $21
• Whitey Design for $23


text: Hey guys... I'm buying the X and have just a quick question. I currently have the droid and have had to do a factory reset several times for trying out different programs and unfortunately been stuck on a force closure loop. When I did the factory reset google had all of my purchased apps saved, I had to re-download them all of course. I'm pretty sure that it would transfer over to a new phone but that is only an assumption, I was hoping one of you guys with waaaaaaay more tech and computer smarts would be able to confirm this for me. Thanks for your time!!

The city of Los Angeles, California has been put on tactical alert after two suspects fired at a patrol car with rifles on Sunday night, according to a report posted on ABC7.com, the website of the local ABC affiliate.
Police say one suspect is in custody and they are searching for the second one.
The incident occurred at 62nd and Hoover streets at about 9:20 p.m. Police say every available officer has been sent to the area.
Authorities said two officers were rolling down the street when they observed the muzzle of a rifle firing in their direction, according to CBS Los Angeles.
A rifle has reportedly been recovered. But it remains unclear if more than one weapon was used in the alleged attack.

The Sarnia Sting rallied in the third frame to come from behind and down the 67's by a score of 7-4 on Friday night at the Progressive Auto Sales Arena.
Out-shooting their opponents 34-30 in the game, the Sting tallied four goals in the third period to clinch the victory and improve to 3-0-0-0 on the season.
Nikita Korostelev led the way in his first game with the Sting since being reassigned by the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring three times and adding an assist for the home side.
Korostelev opened the scoring just 6:18 into the first period, poking a dead-standing puck over the goal line. Franco Sproviero and Anthony Salinitri were credited with the assists.
Midway through the period, Jaden Lindo would make it 2-0 for the Sting, pouncing on a loose puck in front. Adam Ruzicka picked up the lone helper.
The 67's would respond before the end of the stanza with Ben Evans getting the first of three consecutive Ottawa goals.
Former Sting forward Sasha Chmelevski would capitalize on a second period powerplay to tie the game before Noel Hoefenmayer gave the 67's their first lead of the game at 13:28.
Hoefenmayer's goal was the first of 3 in a four minute span as Korostelev would tie the game up with his second of the night less than 2:00 later. The former London Knight, Drake Rhymsha would restore the 67's lead before the end of the period, and the visitors would take a 4-3 lead into the second intermission.
The Sting came out flying in the third period with Filip Helt finding the back of the net at 6:46. The goal was Helt's first career OHL goal. Midway through the period, Ruzicka would score his very own OHL first, tapping home a rebound at the goal-mouth. Kevin Spinozzi and Nikita Korostelev were awarded the assists.
Both Jordan Kyrou and Nikita Korostelev would add breakaway goals to cap off the night and seal the win for the Sting.
The team heads to Flint Saturday to take on the Firebirds for the first time this season. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. and fans can tune in to TV Cogeco to follow the Sting on the road. The Sting are back here in Sarnia on Sunday afternoon, playing host to the Soo Greyhounds in a rematch of last year's Western Conference Quarter-finals. Puck drop is set for 2:05 p.m.
- Korostelev was named the first star after scoring 3 goals and adding an assist.
- Ruzicka and Helt both notched their first career OHL goals on Friday.
- Ruzicka was named the game's second star.
- The Sting were 1/7 with the man advantage while the 67's were 2/5

We've been looking for a suitable place for our little family to rent these past few months. Since this is going to be a mid-term dwelling, we have been rather particular about what we need and are looking for.
We've seen a few places with loads of space to for books and it has grown to be a real plus point for me to have inbuilt bookcases lining walls. I adore books, adore libraries…
The most memorable room looked like this:
Here are a few that truly inspire me:
There's something so ethereal about being surrounded by books. Hallowed libraries. Personal collection. Mmmmm.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6318423/1/Hitchups Hitchups]] is a ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' {{fanfic}} written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1492776/The_Antic_Repartee The Antic Repartee]].
[[http://avannak.deviantart.com/gallery/27008077/Hitchups Can also be found on deviantart here (includes art!)]]
"You are ''so'' busted."
When Hiccup hears these words and watches as Astrid runs to the village, he briefly entertains the idea of jumping on Toothless, going after her and catching her before she reaches her destination. Maybe if he shows her all the wonders befriending a dragon can lead to...maybe if she understood... then maybe she could see that thousands of years of Viking teachings were wrong. Maybe he wouldn't be forced to leave the island...
[[RealityEnsues Nah, as if he has any chances]] [[ForWantOfANail of convincing her.]]
"Com'on bud, let's head south for now. I think I can survive a little easier in a warmer climate."
Based on a WhatIf scenario, Hitchups tells the story of Hiccup the Outlaw, the Rider of the Dragon, who leave his village of his own will. Travelling south, what once was a nomadic outcast life quickly becomes an epic adventure of two friends braving the vast world. However, one day the little boy will have to come back to Berk.
As the author says: "This is ''not'' a ''romance'' fic. This is adventure, this is friendship, this is drama, this is humor, this is family, this is fantasy, this is ''experience''. [...] [[TheTimeOfMyths There will be gods. There will be mythology.]] There will be Berk. There will be decisions. There will be mistakes. There will be consequences. There will be loss. [[ComingOfAgeStory And, most of all, Hiccup is going to grow up.]]"
!!Tropes contained in ''Hitchups'':
* [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality Acceptable Breaks From History]]: Many encountered characters didn't live at the same time; the author knows this, but decided to put them in for the giggles.
* AnimalTalk: The dragons can easily communicate with each other and sea serpents but don't seem to understand other animals and no human can understand them. The only exception is Hiccup, but even then it is only with Toothless due to the bond they share. [[spoiler:This could change with possibly more people learning to understand the dragons they have bonded with.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Between [[spoiler:Snotlout and Camicazi]], to the girl's displeasure, [[spoiler:as Hiccup found out, painfully. When Camicazi lies to Hiccup about taking contraceptive, and has his child, Snotlout nullifies the marriage with relief.]]
* BadassAdorable: Camicazi
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Camicazi in ''Without A Hitch'' conceives a child with Hiccup, a little girl named Alivia.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Astrid only wanted to best Hiccup in training, and she outs him as a fraud. This makes her the prize Dragon Training pupil, like she wanted. Only problem? Being the best trainer means nothing when your mother is sick, the dragons are coming in droves that you can't fight off, and the village has an ElephantInTheRoom about Hiccup leaving.
* BittersweetEnding:
** Hiccup and Toothless defeat the Red Death, as they do in canon, but [[spoiler:Hiccup insists on leaving Berk and WalkingTheEarth since it's no longer home, and he and Toothless have been cursed with immortality. Stoick is heartbroken but resigned.]]
** In ''Without A Hitch'', Hiccup and Toothless [[spoiler:outlive everyone they know, and Berk falls into the sea thousands of years later. Then during Ragnorak, Toothless dies, and Hiccup barely keeps himself alive without his best friend. Fortunately, they reunite in death.]]
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Hiccup's [[WeaponOfChoice weapons of choice]] are a bow, a sabre and a dagger.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Hiccup chooses his own path with Toothless, which leads to him meeting different peoples and learning from them, eventually becoming a badass. He also becomes less impulsive as a result, and more adept in planning strategy.
** Astrid's character is given more emphasis to it -- instead of as in the movie, where we don't really ''know'' Astrid that well, this story takes her and rounds her out, meaning at first she is rather well... unlikable, but as the story progresses she and her struggles and goals become more sympathetic.
** [[spoiler:Toothless also matures, coming to trust in Hiccup as a team mate rather than someone who needs to be protected.]]
* ChekhovsGun:
** Astrid's axe. The Vikings in Miklagard attempt to use it to [[spoiler:execute Toothless. Later on, when Astrid is sparring with it, she remembers the scar on Hiccup's back that's identical to the axe marks.]]
** Hiccup's bond with Toothless. [[spoiler:It saves their lives several times.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: Gudrid, the wisewoman who serves as a mentor to Hiccup. [[spoiler:She ends up being Gothi, the village Elder from his time who dies after he returns to Berk.]]
* ChickMagnet: Hiccup in this story. Several young women and even a few supernatural females in the story have been attracted to him. Some have even fallen in love with him. Because he is shy and modest, it is usually the woman who makes the first move. [[spoiler: However, his shyness and evasiveness can make him inept with handling the advances or returning the affection.]]
* [[spoiler:TheChosenOne: Hiccup is the Chosen One of Thor, much to his surprise.]]
* {{Cliffhanger}}: Oh so many. And very good at making readers go "Tell me what happens ''next'', '''please'''!"
* ComingOfAgeStory
* CutenessProximity: When Toothless acts cute, he causes this in [[spoiler:the Bog Burglars]], to Hiccup's surprise.
* DeadpanSnarker:
-->'''Hiccup''': "...we'd have to be trying to ignore the signs."
-->'''Toothless''': "When the signs are pointing to your imminent death, it's time to start ignoring them."
-->'''Hiccup''': "There's a Human Manual?"
-->'''Toothless''': "No! You gullible idiot. But if there was it wouldn't be very flattering!"
* {{Doorstopper}}: The story has reached completion with ''forty'' chapters and 330,217 words -- this fanfic is essentially a novel!
* [[HorseArcher Dragon Archer]]: Hiccup, once he learns how to use a bow.
* DragonRider: Hiccup of course, [[spoiler:but after he come back to Berk, many other young Vikings quickly become one. The first were Astrid and Tuffnut.]]
* ElephantInTheRoom: After Hiccup leaves, the village doesn't really speak about his leaving out of respect for Stoick. Gobber tries to hide a sword with Hiccup's trademark detailing, though Stoick notices it, and Gobber discusses this trope.
* [[spoiler:EnergyBow]]: [[spoiler: Framherja]]
* TheExile: What Hiccup becomes in this WhatIf fic.
* FanArt: Several, the author has gathered these [[http://avannak.deviantart.com/favourites/42476133?offset=0 here]]. There is also plenty of art made by the author herself [[http://avannak.deviantart.com/gallery/27127696?offset=0 here]]. The author put some of these as the first thing people see when they read [[http://avannak.deviantart.com/gallery/27008077 Hitchups on deviantArt]].
* {{Fanservice}}: The scene with Hiccup bathing in the pool [[spoiler:and being found by Astrid]], who is highly amused by this pleasurable find -- as are the (female) readers. This also happens "off-screen" when [[spoiler:Hiccup gets spanked and startled by a tree limb when intruding in a forest occupied by hamadryad beings.]]
* FirstLove: Hiccup is this for Gudrid.
* {{Foil}}: Camicazi is this for Astrid, who is likewise for her. Ironically, Astrid is (canonically) the {{expy}} of Camicazi herself. On the male side, [[spoiler:Hiccup and Snotlout, when he come back to Berk]].
* {{Forgiveness}}: Though he won't admit it, Stoick is terribly worried about Hiccup. In time he wants him to come back, to stay on Berk permanently despite Hiccup exiling himself.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Hiccup tolerates the Vikings of Miklagard after [[spoiler:they capture him and Toothless, manhandle him roughly for being snarky, split his back open while trying to kill his dragon, and then help him heal after Framherja appears and the Empress gives him and Toothless her protection.]] He's still surly around them, not willing to make small talk and such. Harold eventually gets him to mellow, but it takes a while.
* GildedCage: Hiccup's life in Miklagard while he and Toothless are grounded. [[spoiler:He and Toothless have the empress's protection and are given fine rooms and luxuries, but he has to spend most of his time recuperating and unwillingly receives a haircut. Not to mention a revolution approaches.]]
* [[spoiler:GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex]]
* GuiltyPleasure: Camicazi enjoys sewing but she would die a crone's peaceful death before admitting it to anyone.
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:Toothless' attraction to a Night Fury dragoness]] leads to a tragic outcome for him, [[spoiler:losing not only the chance to win her affection, but also losing his freedom]].
* TheHerosJourney
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Hiccup and Toothless. By the author's own words, "Theyre brothers from another mother."
* IGotBigger: Hiccup got a lot taller after hitting puberty.
* IntellectualAnimal: Toothless in this story. [[spoiler:Part of the story's humor comes from his often denigrating comments about human anatomy versus dragon anatomy. Actually, Night furies have a very complex social structure, complete with relationship pairings and rituals.]]
* LadyLand: The Bog Burglars
* MementoMacguffin: Astrid's axe
* MissingMom: Hiccup [[spoiler:lost his mother after she fell from a dragon. Her death had a profound impact on both Hiccup and Stoick, leading in part to the awkwardness surrounding Hiccup and Stoick's dysfunctional relationship. If Val had been there, she could have been the mediator between father and son and probably understood Hiccup better.]]
* MuggingTheMonster: Some would-be thieves who learned that Hiccup has a dragon. [[spoiler:The Væringjar also learn to '''THEIR''' shock that Hiccup has some very divine people who would like to see him live.]]
* MythologyGag: Several to the books, and the movie itself. Examples:
** Hiccup being referred to as Hiccup the Useless, as well as the other titles some of the other Vikings got.
** [[spoiler:Fishlegs getting a Basic Brown dragon.]]
** The Meathead clan [[spoiler: getting to the Green Death]] in a similar way to how [[spoiler: Berk]] did it in the movie.
* NotBrainwashed: Hiccup tries to desperately tell the Miklagard Vikings that Toothless hasn't hypnotized him into flying with him. They don't believe him until [[spoiler:he nearly dies from the axe blow meant for Toothless, and Toothless in turn remains defensive and bossy while Hiccup is recovering]].
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Of the mind-controlling, winged and scaled variety. Hey, Green Death!
* ParentalSubstitute: Gobber is this to Hiccup. Here's the in story reason:
--> "A world-travelling mother who counterbalanced her absence with trinkets, a chief for a father, present only in proximity... it was no wonder Gobber knew Hiccup better than either of his parents had."
* PostKissCatatonia: [[spoiler:Camicazi]] had a moment of this after the ShutUpKiss mentioned below.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Camicazi does something like this after hearing that [[spoiler:Hiccup doesn't regret leaving in the first place]].
--> '''Camicazi''': "[[spoiler:I! Am! Marrying! Snot! Lout!]]"
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Gudrid.
* RazorWings: [[spoiler:Astrid's dragon,]] the Timberjack that Hiccup freed, as well as every other Timberjack for that matter.
* RealityEnsues:
** You can't change centuries of prejudice in a matter of days or hours. Hiccup for this reason makes it a point to hide Toothless when going into towns and villages.
** [[spoiler:Even though Hiccup had an accelerated rate of recovery, the large amount of time he spent in bed recovering after TakingTheBullet caused him to lose a lot of muscle mass, forcing him to work hard to get it all back.]]
* RecursiveFanfiction: This story has a spin-off oneshot focusing on Hiccup and the Elder called "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7250994/1/The_Elders_Prediction ''The Elder's Prediction'']]".
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Hiccup is insulted when the Miklagard Vikings offer to give him back his rubies and let him leave the city alive while they keep and kill Toothless.
* SequelHook:
** Hiccup is [[spoiler:cursed to live forever, thanks to Loki. He and Toothless survive to the present day.]]
** Astrid knows that [[spoiler:her axe was used to give the blow that scarred Hiccup's back.]]
** Hiccup at some point returns to Berk and the Bog Islands [[spoiler:to spend time with his child Alivia.]]
** Astrid also will eventually [[spoiler:challenge Snotlout for his position as chief since she sees herself as a more competent leader.]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Although, it did take Hiccup getting drunk to realize/accept this of [[spoiler:Camicazi]].
* ShipTease: Plenty, the most notable ships teased being Hiccup/Gudrid, [[spoiler: Hiccup/Camicazi]], and [[spoiler: Hiccup/Astrid]].
** [[spoiler:VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Camicazi, in the [[BabiesEverAfter post-fic]] one-shot.]]
* ShownTheirWork: The author has done her homework about the historical period and the encountered languages. It shows when we have some pleasant surprises like accurate French or ''Hungarian''. Still, it is the current version of these languages, not necessarily the ones spoken during that time period.
* ShutUpKiss: Hiccup does this to [[spoiler:Camicazi]] when she was ranting on his actions.
* StarCrossedLovers: Hiccup and Gudrid.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Hiccup interposed himself between Toothless and an axe.]]
* {{Tomboy}}: Camicazi and Astrid.
* ThrowingDownTheGauntlet: [[spoiler:Snotlout to Hiccup.]]
* TheTimeOfMyths: The setting of the story.
* TookALevelInBadass: Hiccup, [[spoiler:but only after a training by a Hungarian seer and having matured a little.]]
* WalkingTheEarth: Well, Flying The Earth, the result of Hiccup's self-exile with Toothless. [[TheHerosJourney It helps Hiccup to grow as a person]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As part of a running gag, Toothless expresses his interest in eating the messenger hawk Hiccup uses for communicating with Berk.
-->[[spoiler:'''Bersi:''' "All I know is our fastest messenger hawk wasn't around when we needed tae contact Mogadon about that treachery incident. Now I'm nae pointin' fingers"]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Hiccup:''' "It was him."]]
* WhatIf: Bread and butter of this story.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler:Once Hiccup is back to Berk, he engaged into that sort of relationship with Astrid.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Even when [[spoiler:Hiccup returns, he realizes that he can't stay on Berk. He's changed too much, and he has his mother's wandering spirit. His father reluctantly accepts that.]]

ETHNONYMS: Gaspesians (Quebec Micmac), Mikmaw, Migmagi, Mickmakiques, Souriquois (Nova Scotia Micmac), Tarrantines
Identification. The Micmac are a Canadian Indian group living in eastern Canada. The name "Micmac" is from the Micmac Mi:'maq, the plural form of Mi:k'mawaj, "one of high ability," a word derived from Mi"k'amwesu, the name of a legendary forest dweller with supernatural power.
Location. At the time of contact, the Micmac occupied what is now eastern New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. In historic times, the Micmac colonized Newfoundland. Presently, Micmac also migrate in significant numbers from their Canadian reserves to cities and towns in Ontario, Quebec, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey; they often spend years or decades in these places before returning to the reserves, often to retire.
Demography. In 1972, the number of registered Micmac was 9,805, with 1,943 in Quebec, 2,645 in New Brunswick, 4,769 in Nova Scotia, and 448 in Prince Edward Island. There is also a small number of Micmac in Newfoundland who have only recently been legally registered as Indians. Owing to natural increase, the Micmac population has been growing rapidly; by 1985, the Nova Scotia figure alone had reached 6,781.
Linguistic Affiliation. Micmac belongs to the Eastern Algonkian branch of the Algonkian division of the Algonkian-Ritwan family. The 3 major dialects are the Nova Scotia, the New Brunswick, and the Quebec.
History and Cultural Relations
Archaeological and linguistic evidence indicate that the Micmac arrived in eastern Canada from the north. The Micmac were perhaps the first American Indian people on the North American continent to be contacted, first by the Vikings and then by John Cabot in 1497. First colonized by the French, the Micmac were converted to Catholicism by the Jesuits beginning in 1611. A traditional enemy was the Maliseet, called the Ejemin, with whom the Micmac frequently fought. Alongside their French allies, the Micmac defeated and incorporated another traditional enemy, the Beothuk of Newfoundland. Later, along with the other members of the Wabanaki Confederacy (Penobscot Abenaki, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet) and the French, the Micmac fought the British and their allies the Iroquois. Following the French defeat, the Micmac military leadership and many other Micmac went to Cape Breton Island, which remained French until 1763. During the American Revolution, the Micmac allied themselves with the Americans. After that war, the Micmac became itinerant peddlers, and the British established Indian reserves at traditional Micmac meeting places.
Just before 1900 the Micmac began to become sedentary. Prior to this time, they were migratory hunter/gatherers and itinerant peddlers of baskets and axe handles. Although Reserves had been established since the late eighteenth century, they were temporary meeting places rather than permanent settlements until the turn of the twentieth century. By that time, railroads obviated the need to migrate to sell handicrafts. There are presently twenty-nine inhabited reserves—thirteen in Nova Scotia, nine in New Brunswick, four in Quebec, two in Prince Edward Island, and one in Newfoundland. Three of these reserves have populations of two thousand people or more, but several have fewer than one hundred.
Subsistence and Commercial Activities. The Micmac hunted caribou, moose, deer, and bear primarily. They fished for cod, eel, clams, oysters, lobster, smelt, salmon, trout, and other fish. They gathered berries and wild potatoes. In the early contact period, the fur trade was very important. European trade provided metal tools, which improved hunting and fishing, but European efforts to make fanners of the Micmac failed. Only the potato was a successful introduction; potatoes provided valuable food in the winter, and raising them did not interfere with other activities. Most Micmac cash income has come from wage labor and the sale of handicrafts and fish. There have recently been numerous failed attempts by the federal government to develop manufacturing industries. Micmac have owned and operated gift shops, convenience stores, garages, and logging and construction companies, which have done well for the most part. Presently, welfare and work projects are the major sources of income on most reserves; on a few, many of the men travel to cities to work in construction or factories.
Industrial Arts. Aboriginal crafts included stone toolmaking, woodworking, bone and antler working, skin and leatherwork, and the construction of bark housing, cookware, containers, and canoes. The major items of manufacture in the later postcontact period were ash-splint baskets, axe handles, and butter tubs. Presently, only a few people still produce baskets.
Trade. There is archeological and historical evidence of precontact and contact-era trade with peoples to the west and the south. The Micmac were among the first to engage in the fur trade with the Europeans, and consequently they depleted their stock of fur-bearing animals early. Later they peddled baskets and axe handles. They also caught and sold fish and in some places hunted porpoises for oil, which was sold. When temporarily settled, they traded butter tubs to nearby stores for food and manufactured items. Trading activities essentially ceased when welfare payments were increased in the 1950s.
Division of Labor. In early historical times, men hunted, trapped, fished, moved their families, made wooden and bone tools, wigwams and canoes, and carried on warfare. Political and ritual activities were also primarily performed by men. Women brought water and firewood, prepared skins and made clothing, cooked, made bark containers, cared for the children, and retrieved game that the men had killed. In later postcontact times, men cut and split the wood used in baskets, and women wove it. Women also did most of the selling of baskets. Men would work as laborers on nearby farms, and women as domestic laborers. In contemporary times, women keep house while men work at casual labor as lumberjacks and carpenters. The governing of the bands is still largely a male task.
Land Tenure. At contact, Micmac were mobile, though some leaders regulated hunting territories within their sphere of control. After this, Whites slowly took control of the lands, until it became necessary to create reserves, and Whites encroached on many of these. Reserve land is vested in the Crown in right of the dominion, with Indians holding a beneficial interest. Band members may lawfully possess lots on Reserves, if so approved by the band's council and the minister of Indian affairs.
Kin Groups and Descent. The only universal functioning kin group was and is the nuclear family, although two-generation and three-generation families occasionally function as a temporary unit. Nuclear families related by kinship or marriage often cooperate in mutual ventures, at least temporarily.
Kinship Terminology. Traditional kinship terminology is cognatic, reflecting generation and gender. Presently, Micmac terms have taken the meanings of English terms, and Micmac terms that make distinctions not present in the English system are rarely used. Distinctions in English that are not present in Micmac are largely ignored.
Marriage and Family
Marriage. Traditionally, it is likely that cross-cousin Marriage was preferred; polygyny was acceptable. A groom would have to perform bride-service during a probationary period. Nowadays, Micmac follow Roman Catholic rules of prohibition; ideally one should never marry kin of any degree of relatedness. Until 1970 or so, parents would often arrange Marriages or persuade their offspring to marry their boyfriends or girlfriends. Neolocal residence was and is the norm, though now that the Micmac are sedentary, newlywed couples usually live on the husband's reserve, often near his parents' house.
Domestic Unit. The traditional domestic unit was the Nuclear family, though it sometimes included an aged parent or grandparent as well. Today this is still true. Increased illegitimacy, however, has led to households of one mother and her children, and the raising of children by their mothers' mothers. Also a shortage of housing has resulted in many young married couples living with parents.
Inheritance. Traditionally, real property played no part in inheritance, and personal items were buried with their owner. Since the end of the nineteenth century, at least, the wishes of the decedent concerning the disposition of personal and real property have been respected. Presently, a few Micmac use wills, which are usually executed by the Department of Indian Affairs, according to the provisions of the Indian Act.
Socialization. Parents and other family members treat children tolerantly and provide love and support under nearly all circumstances. It is frequently left to people outside of the family to admonish children when they misbehave. Parents teach their children by having them assist them in their own tasks and by example. Formal education is not highly valued, and few children complete high school.
Sociopolitical Organization
Social Organization. In early postcontact times, men held superior status, though women had equality and greater Status in some respects. Elder men and women were sought for their advice and approval. Presently, ability with the English language and success off the reserve or in business brings the most prestige. Although men have lost status since they ceased subsistence hunting and fishing, they still hold the bulk of political and domestic authority. As in early postContact times, identification as a member of an extended family is of central importance. There are no economic classes. Micmac are organized by the federal government into bands; usually, one reserve is assigned to each band.
Political Organization. The traditional saqmaw (sachem or sagamore), translated by the Micmac as "chief," was actually a headman or big man who ruled a particular area demarcated by bays or rivers. His power came from his position in a large, wealthy, well-allied family and sometimes as well from his ability to instill fear in his followers through sorcery. His activities included the redistribution of wealth, the leading of war parties, the conclusion of agreements with other chiefs, other Indian peoples, and colonial governments, and the adjudication of intragroup civil disputes. Preponderantly, chiefs gave their positions to their sons. There is evidence that Micmac individuals and nuclear families were often quite mobile, not always remaining within the territory of a single chief. After the end of the colonial wars, the British banished most Roman Catholic priests from the region, and the prime duty of the chiefs became to lead prayer and speak on Religious subjects. From the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, traditional chiefs were replaced one by one with chiefs elected under the provisions of the Indian Act; the last traditional chiefs to be replaced were the Members of the Grand Council, a unified body of chiefs who governed the Micmac of Cape Breton Island, the traditional Micmac "head district." The Grand Council survives, but has lost real authority. The Indian Act chiefs, and the councilors who assist them, are democratically elected and work as employees of the Department of Indian Affairs primarily as Bureaucratic administrators of government aid.
Social Control. Ostracism remains the most important form of social control. In cases of serious wrongdoing, it Usually results in the offender leaving the community for months or years. Otherwise, the saqmaw lectured wrongdoers and, in later times, brought them to the police. Today, Micmac Police officers control criminal behavior. Revenge has Traditionally played a great role in social control, and the threat of revenge serves to circumscribe the offender's social circle.
Conflict. Politically, divisiveness occurs along geographic-linguistic lines. The Union of Nova Scotia Indians, created by the federal government, is often split into two factions: one lives on Cape Breton and speaks Micmac; the other lives on the mainland and most of its members do not speak Micmac. The Union of New Brunswick Indians often experiences schisms along Micmac-Maliseet lines. These disputes are Usually over allocations of federal funds and Micmac representation to the federal government. There are also rivalries Between bands, usually played out among young adults in organized sporting events and occasionally in fights. In matters of love, some women will occasionally fight over men, though men almost never fight over women. Most violence involves alcohol. When interpersonal conflict occurs, the extended family functions as a group to ostracize the outsider or to exact revenge.
Religion and Expressive Culture
Religious Beliefs. Traditionally, the Micmac had two major deities, Khimintu (Manitou) the creator, and Glooscap, a legendary hero of supernatural power who taught and protected the Micmac; only the former was an object of worship. (Kji)Mintu became the term for the Christian devil when the Micmac converted to Catholicism, and Glooscap presently awaits to appear to the Micmac when they are most in need. Micmac religious belief is highly syncretic, and other non-Christian supernatural beings also live on in tandem with Christian belief. These include Kukwes, a giant cannibal, Wiklatmuj, little forest people, Jenu, northern ice giants, and the Kinap, a person of extraordinary or supernatural ability, among others.
Religious Practitioners. The literature records no priests. There were and are, however, male and female sorcerers who used supernatural power to their own advantage. The sorcerer, puoin, traditionally healed or injured, and a male puoin used his powers to make himself or other men leaders. Presently, sorcerers use their powers primarily to bring misfortune or injury to others.
Ceremonies. Presently, Roman Catholic ceremonies are most important. In addition to the common ceremonies, the Micmac celebrate the feast day of St. Ann, the Micmac patron saint, at several central locations throughout their Territory. During most of the last 350 years, when priests were Usually unavailable, funerals and weddings were held during the St. Ann's Mission, a celebration of several days ending with the St. Ann's Day Mass.
Arts. Historically, the material arts have been important, including the incision of designs in birchbark baskets, the dyeing and weaving of porcupine quills in birchbark, as well as the sewing of Micmac motifs on clothing, especially the characteristic double-curve motif. Presently, Indian music, some Micmac and some not, is making a resurgence. A few painters, employing Indian motifs, have had much commercial success.
Medicine. In aboriginal culture, disease was attributed to the influence of malevolent spirits, which were removed by a puoin by blowing or sucking, and using medicinal herbs. The puoin was well paid for his or her services. Today, Canadian clinical treatment and prayer are the first lines of defense, and traditional herbal medicines are used when clinical treatment fails. Abortion is not acceptable to the Micmac. Recently, Micmac-oriented drug and alcohol treatment has become available.
Death and Afterlife. Traditionally, the Micmac believed that all things have souls, and that human beings have two types of souls, one connected with the body and one that held the life of the individual. At death, both souls were affected, the body soul perishing and the life soul becoming a skate:kmuj, which traveled to the land of the souls. The souls of grave goods traveled with the human soul to assist it in the afterlife. Presently, the house of the deceased must be inhabited until burial in order to prevent the skate:kmuj from Returning to it, and Micmac believe that to see a skate:kmuj signals one's own impending death. Catholic beliefs now exist syncretistically with Micmac beliefs.

Micmac, Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Algonquian branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). They inhabit Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Massachusetts, and Maine. French missionaries came into contact with them in the early 17th cent., and the Micmacs were allies of the French throughout the history of New France. Contact with Europeans did not have the usual effect of tribal disintegration, and the Micmacs still thrive, though their culture has changed radically. Many are Roman Catholics. The Micmacs are expert canoeists, and, although their economy once centered on fishing and hunting, they now derive their income primarily from agriculture. In 1990 there were over 15,000 Micmac in Canada. Another 2,700 Micmac live in the United States, the only federally recognized band being the Aroostook in Maine.

Magpies goal reversed by video umpire0:48
Did this ball completely roll over the line? AFL umpires controversially deny Collingwood its first goal in the semi-final clash against West Coast
A SHATTERED Andrew Embley said he would have to live with his nightmare turnover in the last quarter, which gifted a lead to Collingwood it never relinquished in the semi-final loss.
Embley, who won the Norm Smith Medal at the MCG six years ago in the finest moment of his career, was last night at one of his lowest ebbs seven minutes into the final term when he shanked a kick at half-back that dribbled along the ground at a crucial stage of the match.
Collingwood's Tyson Goldsack punished the mistake with a goal as the Magpies reclaimed the lead, ending a run of three consecutive West Coast goals to put a dagger into the visitors' spirited fightback.
Embley, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury for most of the season, declared he wanted to play on next year.
The 31-year-old, who was one of West Coast's best players with four goals in the crushing elimination final win over North Melbourne a week ago, is likely to be offered a one-year extension.
"I guess I've missed a fair bit of footy this year so I'm not prepared to give the game up just yet,'' he said.
Embley struggled to explain how his blooper happened.
"I'm not sure. It was just a really bad mistake and a bad turnover,'' he said.
"I live with that now.''
West Coast chairman Alan Cransberg maintained the Eagles had taken a step forward this season despite bowing out of the finals one week earlier than they did last year when they lost a preliminary final to Geelong.
The team operated without its three leading goalkickers from last year for most of the season given the serious injuries suffered by Mark Nicoski, Mark LeCras and Josh Kennedy.
"I think our guys have been incredibly brave to get this far,'' Cransberg said.
"There's no excuses, but obviously there's a lot of guys that had to step up with some of the injuries we had early on.
"We've taken a step forward, we've just got to take a few more steps.
"Everyone's pretty disappointed, but we are where we are and we've just got to learn and go forward.
"We obviously came to win and we didn't. We'll continue to improve and when we win these games we'll take the next step.''
Embley said he was proud of the side for what it had achieved this season.
"It was a wonderful contest. We took the game on. We had our chances, but in the end just not good enough,'' he said.
"We need to go away and work really hard over the summer and make sure that the feeling that we have at the moment, we work on that and make sure that we go even better next year.
"Woosh was pretty brief. He basically just said we need to keep our chins up and we need to think about it and make sure we come back at the start of the 2013 pre-season in really good shape.''
