The Sierra Nevada College ski and snowboard teams dominated during the week and were able to bring back home a lot of hardware. The teams won a total of eight team National Championship titles, 24 individual podiums and four overall team National Championship titles.
Protect Our Winters teams with winter sport industry to generate activism to slow climate change.

As Jeremy Jones glides along the wind-scorned ridge, his split board crunches through the sun baked snow like teeth biting into a piece of toast. He's been skinning since the sun rose over the vanilla dipped peaks that line the eastern horizon. His excitement boils as he nears his favorite bowl hidden away deep in the Sierras. Sweat droplets emerge from the pores of his face, instantly freezing once released from the security of his warm scruff covered chin.
He stops to take a break. Looking around like a night owl in search of prey, he notices unfamiliar faces painted across the surrounding mountains. In past years, the rocks in front of him were hidden under the snow. He can't recall a time he has witnessed such low snow levels.
Jones continued to his destination, breaks down his skins, put his board together and begins his descent back to civilization.
Thousands of people have witnessed scenes similar to this in Jones's documentary snowboard films, "Deeper", "Further" and "Higher".
Jeremy Jones is a renowned professional snowboarder and activist who has seen first hand the impact of climate change on our mountains, according to his story on Protect Our Winters website. POW, is a non-profit organization based out of Truckee that was founded by Jones in 2007 to address the gap between the winter sports community and action being taken to address the issues of climate change.

The Sierra Nevada College snowboard and ski teams are nearing the end of their pre-season training as snow begins to fall in the Sierras.
For the Eagles, pre-season training began at the end of August and continues until lifts open and the athletes can bring their training to the slopes.
According to freestyle skier Aiden Lee and snowboarder Colleen Healey, the freestyle team's pre-season training consisted of running at Diamond Peak, workouts at both Incline High School and Ski Beach, and Woodward Tahoe trampoline and foam pit sessions.
"I've never been part of a ski team before so this whole experience is new to me, but it's been super helpful in preparing for my season," said Lee.
According to Healey, it was an intense pre-season of dryland training.
"We mainly focused on getting in shape through cardio workouts at the beginning and then began to introduce core and leg workouts. We started out small and then worked our way up to more difficult training regiments," she said.
Alpine skiers Viking Roald and Elias Stürz say for the race team, pre-season is a time the team come together at the Village Green, Diamond Peak, Mount Rose and High Altitude Fitness.
"Every training we do, we do together as a team, either if it means running for miles in the Tahoe mountains or hitting the gym," Roald said. "This preseason, we have pushed ourselves harder than ever."
The first competition for the freestyle ski and snowboard team will be on Jan. 18, 2015, at Diamond Peak.
"I'm not nervous about it, I actually think it'll be kinda fun to compete," Lee said.

With a small patch of snow, blue skies and 60 degree weather, Boreal Mountain welcomed its 50th season on Nov. 8.
"Opening weekend has been going extremely well. Everybody in California wants to come up here and ride. We are starting the season off right because it's our 50th season," said Tucker Norred, Sierra Nevada College alumnus and events & social media coordinator at Boreal Mountain.
Many SNC students can be found riding at Boreal in the winter months, being the only resort in the area with 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. operations.
"It was fun to ride with everyone while getting sunburn in 60 degree weather. The park was much better than I thought it would be," Junior Brain Walther said.
Due to the drought and warm weather, Boreal was the only ski area open in California as of Nov. 8. The mountain kicked off the season with a local DJ and outside BBQ to complement the excitement of the new winter.
"Opening weekend got me ready to ride. Boreal starts everything off right, every year. There are always a bunch of weird people doing weird stuff," Junior Bryant Davis said.
Boreal was able to open the Castle Peak Quad lift with mid-mountain operations, on a minimal patch of snow to the bottom. As the only section of snow on the mountain, the Boreal terrain park crew was able to set up six features of rails and boxes.
"Opening weekend at Boreal was a blast! Nothing beats wearing sunglasses and t-shirts while riding at Boreal in November. Even though the conditions were minimal, it was fun to be back snowboarding with everyone," Sophomore Jada Garcia said.
Winter has finally arrived. On the night of Halloween, snow began to fall at elevations above 7,000 feet. Students headed to Mt Rose for a day of tricks on jibs and tubes.
Moving to a new country can be difficult and scary at first. Luka knows this first hand.
Mihaela Kosi left her home country Slovenia, to pursue her passion for ski racing. She is a new member of the SNC ski team.
Big Bear Lakes, California: an unassuming, countrified nook tucked in the underskirt of the San Bernardino mountains. These mountains are a homey getaway from the swarming ruckus of Southern California; a sip of mother nature; the oasis in the desert. Big Bear is also the breeding ground for a certain caliber of snowboarding, synonymous with the terms "legend", "OG" and "timeless."
Big Bear's 11th annual "Hotdawgs and Handrails" attracted thousands of spectators to the resort on Sept. 20. It's the premier pre-season snowboarding event that, in the past, has elevated relatively unknown riders (including Keegan Valaika, Zak Hale, Ryan Paul and former Sierra Nevada College student Tommy Gesme) to the limelight of the snowboard industry. Although this year's podium held some more familiar names, this will still stand as a breakthrough for folks who had to compete on two courses rather than just one. To start things off Luke Haddock, a Vermont native, hustled for the entirety of the session, aiming for idyllic execution. It was Haddock's clean full cabs on the down bar that landed him in third place.
"I was shocked to find out I made the podium, the level of riding was extremely progressive," Haddock said.
Second place fell upon Denis "Bonus" Leontyev, the Russian rail wizard.
"I thought the course was really fun. I really enjoyed the fact that there were two different courses," Leontyev said.
His resounding consistency and eye-catching trick selection, regardless of the feature at hand, was what paid off for him in the end. However, it would take more than technical precision and unmitigated riding to walk with the $10,000 prize.
Local surfers had the ride of their lives Sept. 25, thanks to high winds that churned up a giant swell on Lake Tahoe's northern shores. Sierra Nevada College senior Conner Wagner is an avid surfer and tries to make it out on the lake whenever there are waves.
"Some of these waves are overhead," said Wagner. Wagner spends his winter breaks surfing the north shores of Oahu, Hawaii, and he snowboards in Tahoe when he returns.
"These are the biggest waves I have ever seen on the lake," said Wagner.
Surfing on Tahoe has become sort of a novelty. According to locals, there is nothing else like it.
"When you duck-dive a wave, the water is crystal clear, and it's warm. It's like surfing in Hawaii," said Incline resident Russell Conway.
In the summer Tahoe water temps can reach 70 degrees. But wintertime temperatures cause the water to dip into the low 40s. The surfers congregate at one of the best breaks, which is at Hidden Beach just outside of Incline Village. The large boulders off the shore of the beach generate breaking points for the waves rolling in.
"You can get clean rights and lefts all day," said Conway.
It has to be pretty windy to surf Tahoe, usually the wind has to be a consistent 25 plus mph.
"Most storms come in during the fall and winter, but you can get some great surfing in the summer too," said J.P. Donovan, a lifeguard at Sand Harbor. "The wind normally blows from the southwest, west or northwest."
"Coming Home," a film by Tahoe local Martin Rubio was shown Sept. 25 in Patterson Hall on the Sierra Nevada College campus. The movie was originally planned to be shown outside on the grass, but wind and rain forced a last minute change of plans. Many dedicated students had blankets and sleeping bags ready to go in preparation for an outdoor viewing.
"It was great. I was kind of nervous 'cause five minutes before the show there was no one here and then right as the show started 70 students walked in. It was more than great," said Martin Rubio, co-founder of Tall Treez Designs.
While Rubio and Tall Treez Design's main goal was the showing of this film, Rubio also saw this as an opportunity to inspire students to not give up on passions and dreams while in school.
"I was really inspired just to do this show and to be able to talk to the kids and students and maybe inspire them," Rubio said. "While they're in school, you're still able to follow your passion because school is a great thing. You can learn a lot, but we all have things we love to do, like our calling. Even with school and everything, you can still work hard and still pursue your passion."
Rubio started Tall Treez Designs in high school with his brothers, Sal and Luis. Based out of South Lake Tahoe, the crew started the grassroots company in an effort to express their love for Tahoe, mountains and tall trees.
"We've always loved the adventure lifestyle. Living in Tahoe, we've always skied and just been in the outdoors. In high school, we learned how to make clothing from a screen-printing class, so we began making our own stuff. We always knew we wanted to start a company, but we didn't have the money or the resources. Then it all came together. We got a screen press; we all got jobs. We got the idea for the name from a piece of wood that had 'Tall Treez' carved into it. My brother and I looked at each other and we knew right away that was going to be the name of our company," Rubio said.
The film features alumni from the school as well as local pro riders. Kyle Smaine, pro skier and SNC alumnus, has been riding with the crew for the last couple of years and has appeared in films and edits by the team. He has competed in both the Dew Tour and the U.S. Grand Prix. Tall Treez also sponsors local pro Jamie Anderson, who has won gold in slopestyle in several winter X-Games events and the inaugural women's slopestyle event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The Tall Treez owners have even tried their hand at pressing boards in the past, but they remain dedicated to their roots.
"We've pressed snowboards, but that's a different market. When the time and opportunity comes, we will work really hard to try that," Rubio said.
The film was not the only thing drawing students to Patterson Hall. Paintings and photographs lined the walls around the floor showing images of guitars and elephants. Rubio's friend, Will, brought tons of his colorful artwork to show the efforts of artist collaboration.
"Will's an incredible artist," Rubio said. "He moved here from Boise, and I just really love his artwork. We're all just artists. We're all trying to do cool things and I thought 'Why not bring him along?' What he's doing is great. We're just trying to build a group. It's most important to inspire artists and having Will bring his work here gives him confidence, knowing that his work is incredible."
The company is always looking to the future to improve and inspire young minds, but after this major project, Rubio is keeping things consistent for now, he said.
"(We're) just working on a new video. We're always working on new things and all of that can be found on our website," Rubio said.

my two cents discounted for inflation: best to stay off the "undetectables" or any junk for that matter. way to go pete. i think what happened to manny ramirez was that he was on "undetectables" for so long he had to take that female fertility drug to jump start his pony ride, that drug was dectectable. now he's ruined his reputation and his pony ride is probably out of service like jose conseco's.
the working girls of vegas will owe pete for keeping his pony ride open for years to come. not having a heart attack trying to keep up with those young junkies is a positive as well.
but then again, i may be retarded
i had to read thru a lot of posts quickly but a question comes to mind. assuming a lot of ufc fighters are using gear, then why did the pride guys have to cycle off to come over? was it the gear that they were on was detectable and the gear our guys are using is not detectable? or are our guys not on any gear at all?
but then again, i may be retarded
I think they had to cut back on certain stuff to be safe. Or at least change up how they cycled.
I would think that in Japan, they were doing whatever they wanted, without concern for detection. When they came over to the UFC, they had to get off and clean their systems out. I believe that's what the delay with Wanderlei was all about. Perhaps the culture wasn't as sophisticated as ours is here in the US, since our fighters have to beat the tests, and it took them a while to get everything figured out. Many of the Pride guys have looked like a shell of themselves since leaving Japan and coming over to the US.
Lets go Brent!
Holy shit, look at the size of Matt Hughes! WTF, suddenly he rejuvenates himself, how??? His wife told him she wants blood, (sounds kinky) but seriously, how is he able at his age to suddenly kick it up several notches and come out looking like Hughes circa 2003?!?!
The doping is out of control and there doesn't seem to be anything that anyone can do about it. I have a feeling that Hughes is going to demolish Serra and look his best in years. He aint done yet, not with what ever he's on now doing the trick. War Hughes, beat that little annoying twerp down and back to Long Island.
Lets go Brent!
I subtley mentioned this is my "lets talk ufc 98" thread and i also texted several members of this board about hughes build.
I am sure vak attack thinks that hughes just suddenly started doing extra push ups and pull ups.
Feel free to email me next time so that I too am in the loop. I was busy all day today ad wasn't able to follow the weigh ins or read anything baout them on line. I log in tonight and am browsing around when I see a picture of Hughes looking like Lou Ferigno. This is beginning to look like a mismatch. Now it makes sense why Hughes hasn't hung it up. He'll see how he performs tomorrow night and if he does as well as he looks, why not rematch Alves for the title? The way Hughes looks, I could see him beating Thiago for the belt. Look at the scapulas on that mother fu$#er!
Lets go Brent!
Lets go Brent!

New HBCU learning program with China; Morgan State fires football coach; plus HBCU graduation rate results are disappointing. —Dominique Zonyéé
A judge ordered another $1 million to the three attorneys who represented Jacqueline Weatherly, Cynthia Williams and Lydia Burkhalter, former employees of Alabama State University as part of a sexual harassment suit against the university. In the original complaint, the women claimed that CEO John Knight and associate executive director LaVonette Bartley made sexual advances toward them.

For some reason, I always forget how green Texas (especially central Texas) truly is. Maybe it's because I lived in North Carolina for 5 years, where the constant, unexpected-but-not-that-unexpected rain compels one to always be aware of the verdant Carolinian landscape. It doesn't rain quite so much in Texas, and despite the fact that I've lived here for 18 years, I'm always somewhat surprised by the miles and miles of greenery surrounding the less well-traveled parts of I-35.

He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself.

I was delighted to invited to discuss the importance of GIS and geospatial technologies in education at NEARC's GIS Educator's Day.

This slideshare document has hyperlinked slides so you can access the digital resources mentioned in the talk if you wish.

Could be a useful resource. Japanese section would be useful for cultural program and other subjects such as Science could use the Science focus articles. The "Everyone is a Reporter" aspect could be adapted for real world writing but it would need to be set up and explored for student suitability.

A crescent moon hangs
Low in the sky
Palm trees sway
A breeze blows by
The smell of the ocean
Adrift in the air
Serene and so peaceful
I don't have a care
I could sit on this shore
I could lay in this sand
Awed at creation
By magnificent hand
The beauty is splendor
Beyond human reach
I think I'll just stay here
Adrift on this beach

WANTED: oaks!!!! esp. hybrids
Looking for hybrid oaks! Any of them that would grow in a humid zone 7 climate. It's getting a bit late for acorns but if you still have some viable ones let me know.
I doubt if hybrid seeds would come true.
Here is a link that might be useful: For updating your Exchange Page
Hairmetal4ever isn't trying to duplicate a cultivar! Many oak nothospecies ("hybrids") are commonly sought after for specific characteristics. And, of course, most oak trees are actually hybrids anyway. Most "pure species" oaks are in areas where they are unusually isolated from other quercus species for some reason.
There are still nice acorns on the ground here in CA and I'm happy to grab some for you. There is a combination of Valley, Cork, Coast Live, Blue, Pin, and Black on my property and they all grown within close proximity to each other so hybridization is undoubtedly taking place naturally. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

AP reports that customers of the five-year-old service have received notification of the impending closure, though no exact dates were mentioned. A spokesman said final closure is expected by year's end, and that AT&T will send additional notices with more details.
AT&T has had a notice on its Website since last year that said it is not accepting any new customers.
AT&T posted a smaller-than-expected drop in quarterly profit Wednesday, bolstered by the iPhone and its U-verse video service.Originally posted to AppScout.

We investigate a structural model of market and firm-level dynamics in order to jointly price long-dated S&P 500 index options and CDO tranches of corporate debt. We identify market dynamics from index option prices and idiosyncratic dynamics from the term structure of credit spreads. We find that all tranches can be well priced out-of-sample before the crisis. During the crisis, however, our model can capture senior tranche prices only if we allow for the possibility of a catastrophic jump. Thus, senior tranches are nonredundant assets that provide a unique window into the pricing of catastrophic risk.

I have a batch I am leaving in the primary.
Going for a honey taste, I added quite a bit about 1/2 way through the boil.
After brewing this first batch, I found this forum, where I learned that the honey will probably make the batch a bit thinner.
I am more a fan of maltier beers with a nice thick mouth-feel.
The guy who runs our local brew store gave me some malto-dextrine, which
helps with this, correct?
With my beer already in the primary (8 days), is there any way
to take advantage of the this malto-dextrine?
You can add it at any time.
How do I mix it in without disrupting everything?
If it was me I would add it when bottling or kegging. Just rack on top of it just like priming solution.
You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge here........
I was under the impression that you could bottle straight from the primary.
Just move it 6 or something hours into place before you do so.
So, besides racking on to it, would it be a bad idea to just stir it in?
Yes, you can stir it in now. Just make sure you don't splash around and you will be fine.
If you don't have a separate bottling bucket I would advise you to get one. If you try to bottle from your primary you will have to stir the priming solution in stirring up the trub in the process. Unless you are using priming tabs I wouldn't bottle from the primary.
Thanks, I appreciate the help!
Forget about the honey taste if you added the honey half way through the boil though. There won't be any honey taste left.
You want to dissolve any dry ingredients in a little water before adding into a carboy though. There can be a lot of dissolved CO2 in the beer right now and throwing in something dry and powdery can give nucleation sites for all that gas to come out of solution. Think mentos in diet coke.

We were given a gift certificate for our birthdays and so we decided to go and have a nice dinner . We both had the steak and it was cooked to perfection !
The food was excellent. A full menu was offered and portions were large. The service was quick and excellent.
Great service, nice dining choice for Sussex. It is a friendly, down home dining experience. We enjoyed the service and the log dining is a nice touch. Great price on the kids meals.
Try it out.
Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. We were there for lunch and my husband ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that had only a thin slice of cheese. My clam strips were mostly coating with very few clams. The milkshake was good.
We enjoyed our draft beer, sandwich, and friendly waiter. This is a down home place favored by locals, not a white linen restaurant.
This was our first visit, and while the decor was quaint and log-cabin-esque, and the service friendly, the food was disappointing. We both ordered veggie stirfries, which were just soggy frozen veggies over reheated rice. Not inedible, but not worth $11-$12 either. I really wanted to like the whole experience, but the food was just not at all impressive. I...

Went there for an evening meal while staying in Sussex .
The restaurant is nice and large , all log construction, lots of space . Not noisy .
Some had their specials , some didn't .
Menu is quite varied so there is lots of choice .
Service was very slow considering it wasn't busy and several staff .
we have eaten here before and the service was a lot nicer,plus the food was better. Food was lukewarm and skimpy. we felt we were interrupting the waitress or she wanted to work somewhere else.
It was a 15 minute wait for our order to be taken. Then our food arrived before we had our drinks (1 beer & water). Our garlic bread was charred black and we were not given any plates. My chicken wings tasted like the cheapies for the Superstore and I also was not given a dish to put the bones...

The Goat Brigades
19 Sep 11
"No, we do not have any cheese for sale I'm sorry," apologizes Macedonian cheesemaker Aleksandar Dimovski to crowds of people flocking around to try his two Slow Food Presidium cheeses at Cheese, the four-day Slow Food event ending today in Bra, Italy. "We could not bring very many cheese rounds as Macedonia is not a part of the European Union. These are smuggled cheeses, Nikolce here is a smuggler!" he says laughing and patting his friend Nikolce on the back.
The small Eastern European country boasts an impressive array of typical foods including many cheeses, which are continuing to be made using largely traditional methods. Aleksandar is the manager of the dairy that produces Mavrovo Reka Mountain Pasture Cheeses Presidium; a lively presence offering tastings of the goat cheeses made from the milk of some 10,000 goats herded by 60 shepherds.
Belo Sirenje is a white, crumbly feta-like cheese with a fresh, neutral and salty taste. "We eat it with everything: breakfast, lunch, dinner, in between, with meat, fruits, whatever." The second cheese, Kashkaval, is made from the same milk but is very different, light yellow and solid in appearance with a rich and creamy taste.
"Kashkaval used to be the rich mans cheese. Before the war you could not get it if you were poor. And even now, it is expensive if you buy it in a restaurant. You can see that it is very solid: all the air is pressed out of the curd. This is the result of the work of very skilled producers: the cheesemaker shapes the curds into a sack-like shape and lets the air escape through 'the navel'. If it is not done properly the cheese will split as it ripens."
The dairy employs some 70 people, most of which are shepherds. Each shepherd takes as many animals as they can handle – usually around 200 to 300 but very experienced shepherds will take up to 500 – and leads them from pasture-to-pasture, moving from high altitudes in summer to the lower areas in winter. Usually the shepherds work in four large loose groups – which they like to call brigades – each of about 2,500 animals.
The long daily routine of the shepherd starts with milking at 5.30am. By nine they are ready to let the animals out to graze and they return at five in the evening. The animals are milked again and by eight in the evening tractors arrive to collect the milk. Previously the cheese was made up on the mountains, but that is not allowed anymore and so the milk has to be transported daily to the dairy where traditional methods continue to be employed, albeit it in a new setting.
"I think hygiene is one of the most important things in the cheesemaking process: it is hygiene, hygiene, hygiene, and then some more hygiene," emphasizes Alesandra. "Our cheese is made from raw milk so you cannot be careful enough – but this means we can ensure that our end result continues to be lovely and typically Macedonian. It comes from the mountains, you know…"

Schools to be rated with letter grades instead of stars now
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Report cards are coming out, and they're not just for your kids anymore. Schools will be given a letter grade starting tomorrow.
It's a plan by BESE to make it easier for parents to understand just how well their child's school is performing.
Right now, schools are given stars, on a one to five star scale, but school officials says those are too confusing.
Now, the schools will get an "A" through "F" rating, which officials believe will be much easier to understand.

Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. Study of structure includes using spectroscopy and other physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and constitution of organic compounds and materials. Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. The study of organic reactions includes both their preparation—by synthesis or by other means—as well as their subsequent reactivities, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.
The range of chemicals studied in organic chemistry include hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, as well as compositions based on carbon but containing other elements. Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, and polymer chemistry, as well as many aspects of materials science.
Blue Pill is the codename for a rootkit based on x86 virtualization. Blue Pill originally required AMD-V (Pacifica) virtualization support, but was later ported to support Intel VT-x (Vanderpool) as well. It was designed by Joanna Rutkowska and originally demonstrated at the Black Hat Briefings on August 3, 2006, with a reference implementation for the Microsoft Windows Vista kernel.
The Blue Pill concept is to trap a running instance of the operating system by starting a thin hypervisor and virtualizing the rest of the machine under it. The previous operating system would still maintain its existing references to all devices and files, but nearly anything, including hardware interrupts, requests for data and even the system time could be intercepted (and a fake response sent) by the hypervisor. The original concept of Blue Pill was published by another researcher at IEEE Oakland on May 2006, under the name VMBR (virtual-machine based rootkit).
Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics,

Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

This sleek, romantic clipper was built in 1869, one among a vast fleet of tall-masted wooden ships that plied the oceanic highways of the 19th century, trading in exotic commodities—in this case, tea. Cutty Sark (named after an old Scottish term for women's undergarments) was the fastest, sailing the London–China route in 1871 in only 107 days. The clipper has been preserved in dry docks as a museum ship since the 1950s, but was severely damaged in a devastating
fire in 2007. As luck would have it, however, roughly half the ship had been dismantled and taken away for cleaning at the time. The ship re-opened in 2012, with hugely improved visitor facilities; not only can you tour the painstakingly restored ship in its entirety, but the glittering new visitor center (which the ship now rests directly above, in an enormous gold mount) allows you to view the hull from below. A veritable museum of seafaring life, this boat was never too comfortable for the 28-strong crew (as you'll see). And don't forget to take in the very amusing collection of figureheads.

Archduke – Lexias pardalis (female)
The Archdukes are a genus (Lexias) of tropical forest-dwelling butterflies that are common throughout Southeast Asia and Australasia. Members of the brush-footed butterfly family Nymphalidae, the genus is represented by about 17 species. Two very similar and coexisting genera are Tanaecia (the Viscounts and Earls) and Euthalia (the Barons and Counts), the latter previously including some Lexias species. The largest species reach a wingspan of ca. 10 cm.

Beautiful capture:)
What a beauty and a great image of this butterfly

Hiya everyone! I just discovered that AO was back up and running in full force. I was around a long time ago--I was even one the old school Easy Board...back whne it was EA (Everything Anime).
This is the same AO name that I've had for...gosh 4 years now. Oh how the time flies by at a spastic pace.
Hmmm...what can I tell you about me?
I go to a cumminty college (snore) and work at a video game store. When I am not at those two places I am normally sleeping or watching Adult Swim. I also love listening to music. Death Cab for Cutie, Sunny Day Real Estate and Anti-Flag are some of my favorite bands. My favortie solo singers are Tori Amos, Ani Difranco, Utada Hikaru, Poe, and Justin Sane.
As far as anime goes I love Miyazaki films, Nausicaa is my all time favoruite anime movie of all time. For sereis I love Neon Genesis Evangelion, RahXpehon, Chobits, Fruits Basket, Ghost in the Shell: The Stand Alone Complex, and Serial Experiments Lain. I also love the movie 'Kite' where my screenname comes from. For manga I am only reading the Nausicaa manga right now.
I have a Game Cube which I love dearly and an X-Box. I can normally be caught (when I have time) playing Animal Crossing or Fable. But I really don't have much time to game anymore.
I also sadly watch a lot of TV, mainly at nite. I love Adult Swim. I love Futrama, Family Guy, Robot Chicken and I am mildly obessed with Aqua Teen Hunger Force (I can quote it...yeah its sad). As for non animated stuff I watch ER and reruns of Law and Order Special Victims Unit.
I am currently taking 3 courses. US History, Shakesperian Lit and teh Lit of Science Fiction. We even get to read the Ghost in the Shell manga for my scifi class. I am going to move up to Eugene, Oregon to attend the University of Oregon where I plan to major in history and then I am going to get my masters in teaching.
I personaly think that I am a really nice, caring, and open minded person. So please don't be afraid of me!

text: [[quoteright:341:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lidenbrock_sea_9403.jpg]][[caption-width-right:341:Beautiful beachfront property for sale, great plesiosaur fishing. Call today!]]First, an 1864 Creator/JulesVerne ScienceFiction novel (the French original being titled ''Voyage au centre de la Terre'') about a German professor and his nephew, who travel down volcanic tubes in an extinct Icelandic volcano. They then discover prehistoric animals and all sorts of danger as they go down farther. Verne was inspired by Charles Lyell's ''Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man'' to write it, although the science has not aged very well compared to his other books (at least, science as Professor Lidenbrock describes it...see the WhatWeNowKnowToBeTrue entry below).Then were the numerous adaptations, including the 1959 film starring Pat Boone and James Mason, with added characters such as Gertrude the duck and [[AristocratsAreEvil Count Saknussem]], notable in its day for the special effects. In 2008 a ThreeDMovie starring Creator/BrendanFraser was made, which spawned a {{Sequel}} and loose adaptation of ''TheMysteriousIsland'' which is, apparently, {{Atlantis}}.There was also an AnimatedAdaptation by {{Creator/Filmation}} in the late '60s, and let's not forget the ConceptAlbum (plus sequel and expanded remake) by Rick Wakeman.----!!Relevant tropes:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:TheBook]]* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The ichthyosaur and plesiosaur.* BeneathTheEarth* BreakTheScientist: Invoked, as Axel ''knows'' the whole concept of a hollow-earth journey makes absolutely no sense (see the "Science Marches On" entry below).* ComicTrio: notably lampshaded, proving that this trope is [[OlderThanRadio older than the Three Stooges]]. Axel sees himself as the OnlySaneMan, with Professor Lidenbrock as the idiotic leader and Hans as the even more idiotic follower. [[SmarterThanYouLook He later changes his mind...]]* ConvectionSchmonvection: The explorers are carried up the tube of a volcano by lava on their raft of fossilized wood (an asbestos dish in the 1959 movie, a dinosaur skull in the 2008 one) which in real life would get them cooked alive.* DubNameChange: Some editions of the novel change Axel's name to "Harry Lawson" and Lidenbrock's name to "[[TheVonTropeFamily Von Hardwigg]]."* EccentricMentor: Professor Lidenbrock.* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Everything's better with ancient marine reptiles.* FeeFiFauxPas: At the beginning of the book.* FungusHumongous: The explorers find giant mushrooms in a huge underground cave.* HollowEarth* HotBlooded: Professor Lidenbrock.* InNameOnly: Most adaptations take great liberty with the source material, probably because SeinfeldIsUnfunny.* ItsTheJourneyThatCounts: The heroes don't get anywhere near the center of the Earth, but they become world famous anyway since the discoveries they've made are plenty revolutionary on their own.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Professor Lidenbrock has shades of this.* TheLoad: Axel, dear Axel. He spends the entire book moaning about going on the trip, trying to stop them from going. Always trying to get everybody to turn back. Is constantly fainting, getting lost, oh and it was his idea to use the gun-cotton near the end. In his defence, he really ''didn't'' want to go on the expedition, but was too afraid of Lidenbrock to say no to him.** TheMillstone: Though arguably he functions as professor Lidenbrock's MoralityPet.* LostWorld* MadScientist: Professor Lidenbrock; at least of the one-track mind type.* MyGirlBackHome: Gräuben ([[DubNameChange Gretchen]] in many English editions).* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Axel's idea to use the gun-cotton not only nearly kills them and puts an end to the expedition, but also destroys the way downwards.* NoEndorHolocaust: What happened to the Lidenbrock Sea and its unique flora and fauna after the explosion?* PetTheDog: Lidenbrock becomes quite sympathetic when he thinks his quest will result in Axel's death, but then reverts back to his usual behaviour as soon as they're safe again.* TheQuietOne: Hans, professor Lidenbrock's and Axel's Icelandic guide.* RedHeadedHero: Hans.* SayingTooMuch: When Axel figures out the cipher to Arne Saknussemm's note, the example he uses to demonstrate it accidentally reveals his love for Gräuben, Lidenbrock's ward. Amusingly, Lidenbrock [[SelectiveObliviousness completely]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint ignores]] this revelation as he's more interested in decrypting the note.* ScienceMarchesOn[=/=]ArtisticLicenseGeology: Completely subverted. The science in the novel is not cockeyed because of the time period it was written in, but rather because Verne was guided by RuleOfCool. He knew that the "science" was laughable, and continually lampshades it, with Axel explaining ''why'' what they're doing should be completely impossible while his uncle refuses to listen. Axel's explanations are based on the latest 19th century theories of geology, and they actually stand up pretty well; indeed, in the final chapter, he states that he sees no reason to consider the stuff they find anything but localized exceptions.* StayInTheKitchen: It could have been a good idea for Gräuben to join the expedition instead of Axel. Even if she had been no more useful than Axel was, at least she wouldn't have been whining all the time, as she at least ''wanted'' to join (but though she cannot because she's a girl.)* TheStoic: Hans.* SundialWaypoint: How they locate the cave entrance.* WhatWeNowKnowToBeTrue: Axel keeps protesting every step of their adventure with fairly accurate comments about the heat and pressure of the Earth's interior, and the sheer impossibility of a navigable passage leading to the center of the Earth, all of which his uncle brushes aside as outdated theory. It's left open at the end who would've been proven right if they'd kept going.[[/folder]][[folder:The 1959 movie]]* AbsentMindedProfessor: Sir Oliver walks through the marching band of a Highland regiment because he's wrapped up in reading his newspaper.* AccidentalDiscovery: The plumb bob that clues Lindenbrook in to Arne Saknussem's solo expedition is revealed because of a small accidental explosion.* AdaptationDyeJob: Redhead Hans becomes blonde here.* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Lindenbrook remarks that more is known about the stars and galaxies than about the Earth's deeper layers. At the time the film is set, distant galaxies were called "spiral nebulae"; only our own Milky Way was referred to as a "galaxy".* BadBoss: It's heavily implied Count Saknussem literally worked his servant to death.* BelligerentSexualTension: Sir Oliver Lindenbrook and Carla Göteborg.* CanonForeigner: [[TheRival Professor Göteberg]] and his wife [[DeterminedWidow Carla]], [[TeamPet Gertrude]] the duck, and [[AristocratsAreEvil Count Saknussem]] and his [[EvilMinions servant]]. Basically, half the principal cast.* DeterminedWidow: Carla Göteborg falls into this role before her husband is even in the ground.* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Count Saknussem]]* DoubleTake: Alec uncovers Göteberg's blanket-draped body while searching the hotel room's stockpiled supplies, then ''covers it up again and goes on searching'' for a moment before realizing what he's seen.* DubNameChange: Professor Lidenbrock of the ''Johanneum'' in Hamburg becomes Professor Sir Oliver Lindenbrook of Edinburgh University, Axel becomes Alec [=McEwan=].* FungusHumongous* GentleGiant: Hans, until the moment he finds [[spoiler:his beloved Gertrude has been eaten]].* HollywoodMagnetism: The pole at center of the earth rips away Hans's gold tooth and Carla's wedding ring, which Sir Oliver takes the time to point was also gold.* IFellForHours* JumpedAtTheCall: Alec, who proposes to go on Sir Oliver's expedition instead of staying to marry his niece. This is the exact opposite of TheNarrator in the novel, who only goes along because he doesn't have the courage to tell Sir Oliver where he can stick his mad idea of exploring the interior of the Earth.* KickTheDog: Count Saknussem commits murder and mayhem to deter his rivals, but finally crosses the MoralEventHorizon for the audience when he [[spoiler:eats Gertrude!]]* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Pat Boone as Alec.* PeekABooCorpse: Count Saknussem's dead servant.* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Sir Oliver is not afraid to explain away Carla's usefulness because, "she's a woman". He then goes on to complain about her waking the expedition up when she hears men moving above them, which Oliver dismisses as "rat's in the attic". Later, when she is proven correct, instead of apologizing like any good leader would, he insults her again. Then proceeds to continue insulting her for the rest of the journey. He finally appears to pull his head out of his ass after they return to the surface, [[CharacterDevelopment which gets him out of that mindset by the end of the film]].* RaceLift: Changing the German protagonists to Scots. But then it was just fourteen years after the end of World War 2.* SelfDisposingVillain: After [[spoiler:Count Saknussem has eaten Gertrude]], Hans is fully prepared to commit murder. Fortunately, the villain enacts this trope instead.* ShirtlessScene: Pat Boone spends a number of scenes wearing nothing but shorts and oil, and Hans gets in on the action sometimes too. Even Sir Oliver manages to show off his CarpetOfVirility once.* {{Slurpasaur}}: The movie features rock iguanas with plastic fins masquerading as Dimetrodons, and a tegu lizard covered in red paint as a "giant chameleon."* TeamPet: Gertrude the surprisingly useful duck.* TokenEvilTeammate: Count Saknussem.* TrailOfBreadcrumbs: The sets of three chipped notches, left behind by Arne Saknussen.[[/folder]][[folder:The 2008 movie]]* AbandonedMine: Shortly after taking refuge in a cave on the side of an Icelandic volcano, the crew discovers a lava tube that leads to an abandoned mine shaft.* AnimalReactionShot: when Sean has trouble traversing the floating rocks, his little luminous bird buddy shakes its head in despair.* ArtisticLicenseGeology: Veins of pure magnesium that cause violent explosions when exposed to a flare? The volcanic tube encrusted with gigantic, flawless jewels of many different types right next to each other? And this is before they fall to the Center! Couldn't the filmmakers have consulted someone who [[SomewhereThisIndexIsCrying paid attention in highschool science]]?* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The phosphorescent birds are identified as ''Cyanis rosopteryx'', which is stated to be a Jurassic bird. Not only is this not actually a real species, but they also resemble modern-style birds, which did not arise until the Cretaceous period.* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Come the end of the film, Hannah looks as fresh faced and blemish free as she does when we first meet her, despite the rough and tumble of their journey.* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Trevor and Hannah.* BioluminescenceIsCool: Bioluminescent birds, of all things. Not to mention that they're birds which normally live in a well-lit area.* CellPhonesAreUseless: Getting a signal after walking into a cave and after a landside: impossible. Traversing an ocean miles underneath the surface of the Earth, in a thunderstorm: lousy reception.* ChekhovsGun** The magnesium ore being easily inflamed by distress flares.** The thin layer of fragile rocks.** The gemstones...* ClothingDamage: Trevor ends up ripping one of the sleeves of his shirt. After a moment he rips the other one off himself.* ConvectionSchmonvection* DroolHello: The ''Giganotosaurus'' copiously drooling on Sean Anderson from above a boulder.* FlyingSeaFoodSpecial* FungusHumongous* HotScientist: Trevor Anderson. A given, since he's played by Creator/BrendanFraser.* IFellForHours* LoyalAnimalCompanion: The bioluminescent bird.* ManEatingPlant: The cavern is filled with giant Venus flytraps that are unable to eat humans, but growl and snap at them anyway for no apparent reason. Also, their roots are attached to snake-like vines that hang people by the neck to strangle them, also for no apparent reason. It seems that even when it comes to plants, CarnivoresAreMean.* OffhandBackhand: Trevor to a carnivorous plant.* OverlyLongScream: When the main characters fall down the hole leading to the center of the Earth. Of the "take a deep breath, then continue screaming" variety.* RollercoasterMine: Complete set with a jump a point where the track splits into three, follows the same route, finally meeting up at the same point.* ShootTheMoney: Lots of point in the film show off the 3D... unless you're watching it in 2D of course, then it just looks a bit odd.* SoftWater: The heroes fall easily thousands of feet down a rock shaft and hit water with little more than a few gasps after they surface. They ''try'' to subvert this by using the walls as a "water slide" to slow their descent.** They landed on a non-boiling geyser, spraying a lot of air and water upward to cushion their fall.* SuperCellReception: There is a cellphone that works at the center of the Earth. Worse yet, not only is it just a joke that's not essential to the plot, but there was a scene in the same movie where a cell phone won't work inside of a normal cave.* TyrannosaurusRex: ''Giganotosaurus'', actually, as is stated in special features. Naturally chasing the protagonists.[[/folder]][[folder:The 2012 movie]]* ArtifactTitle: A mild case. The title would have made more sense if they had left off the "Journey 2" part, but there is ''technically'' a journey (just not to the center of the earth and it's not particularly long as they spend most of the movie trying to get ''off'' TheMysteriousIsland).* CanonWelding: This movie makes least the settings of Journey To The Center of The Earth and The Mysterious both equally real in-universe, as well as parts of ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' and ''Literature/GulliversTravels''* DoNotCallMePaul: Henry... er, I mean Hank. Actually, it's not made clear if Henry really is Hank's name, or if Hank isn't really a nickname, but all the same, Hank doesn't like being called Henry.* FanService: VanessaHudgens wearing a tank top and short shorts for almost the entire movie. Also, did any male viewers who saw it in 3D regret paying extra in the scene where she crawls out of a collapsing tunnel with the camera [[MaleGaze on her from behind]]? Thought not.* GenreBlindness: Hank. Lampshaded at one point.-->'''Sean:''' "You didn't expect mysterious things from a place called ''The Mysterious Island''? [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's right there in the title."]]* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Hank is a genuinely caring person, and does worry about Sean. But, the way he insults Sean's grandfather, ''in front of Sean'', is just a tad mean-spirited. He gets better though.** Alexander, for mainly the same reasons. He and Hank pretty much take turns insulting and undermining each other for the first half of the movie before beginning to respect each other.* MaleGaze: Practically the moment Kailani appears, in a tank top, the camera goes straight to her breasts.* NonSingingVoice: Averted; that really is Dwayne Johnson singing "What A Wonderful World" with new lyrics (and again over the end credits, with the proper ones).* TheOtherDarrin: Sean's mother was played by Jane Wheeler in the 2008 film. Here, it's Kristen Davis.* PecFlex: Hank's "Pec Pop of Love."* PlayingAgainstType: Given that most of Creator/VanessaHudgens's screen roles have her as [[Film/SuckerPunch someone who]] [[Film/MacheteKills isn't as]] [[Film/SpringBreakers sweet as]] [[Film/{{Bandslam}} she looks]], the gentle Kailani practically ''is'' PlayingAgainstType for her. * ShoutOut: The giant iguana is a huge ShoutOut towards monster movies in the 50s [[{{Slurpasaur}} when they used iguanas and gators for dinosaurs]].* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Lizards?]] [[Franchise/IndianaJones Why couldn't it be snakes?]][[/folder]]----
