Let your imagination carry you back to the time when the Canary Islands were inhabited by the aboriginal population. Imagine a landscape covered with ravines and dense vegetation, where even crossing from one side of a hill to another was a challenge... So, at that time, how could people communicate rapidly with each other across the mountains?
They found a way: they put their fingers in their mouths and whistled, creating a language that very few communities use in the whole world. Close your eyes and listen to a whistled conversation. Would you like to learn?
When the first European Conquistadors arrived in the Canary Islands in the 15th century, they were surprised by the whistles emitted by inhabitants of some of the islands, used to communicate across the ravines and over long distances. This was a whistled language, that fortunately has survived to the present day, although during the second half of the 20th century this unique system of communication of exceptional value was almost lost. For this reason it has been declared by UNESCO to be part of the world's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Although you might find it surprising, you can discover for yourself how to express an unlimited range of messages, as this system reproduces, through whistles, the sound characteristics of a language which, in this case, is the variety of Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands, but which, in theory, could be applied to any other language. Do you dare to try it in your own language? Well get ready then, because you need a lot of strength and practice if you want to be heard at any distance.
On some occasions in the past, the whistle was used as a secret language, for example during the Spanish Conquest, as a means of defence by the aborigines against the invaders; or for smuggling activities. However, generally messages sent by the whistling language have been related to daily life or exceptional events, and were heard by everyone in the area, not just the intended recipients of the message.
Although it is believed that this system of communication existed in various islands of the Canarian archipelago, nowadays it is characteristic of La Gomera, where local people have taken care to preserve it for future generations. In fact, whistling is taught in schools and forms part of the educational curriculum of young people from the island. So if you want to hear a conversation in this language, or if you fancy giving it a try, La Gomera is the ideal place to study this remarkable tradition which is both ancient and authentically Canarian.

Enteral Tube Program
Troubleshooting Common Gastrostomy (G-tube) Concerns
What should I do if my g-tube is leaking?
Leaking (sometimes called drainage) around a g-tube site can be a common problem. Leaking is often caused by a g-tube that does not fit the right way or has a balloon that is not filled with enough water. Mild crusting or clear drainage without any other signs of infection (see below) may be normal after a g-tube placement or change.
If your child's g-tube is leaking, make sure the g-tube is secure and stable. For more information, see the home care instructions for your g-tube.
If the tube is stable and the leakage continues, gets worse, looks like blood or pus, or is coming out from a crack in the tube, please call your child's GI doctor right away.
What is granulation tissue?
Granulation tissue is extra pink tissue that can often grow around the g-tube site (Figure 1). It happens when there is too much friction (rubbing) around the g-tube site. Some children are more likely to have granulation tissue develop. To lower the risk of granulation tissue, make sure your child's g-tube is secure. For more information, see the home care instructions for your g-tube.
In some cases, granulation tissue may cause a small amount of bleeding, leaking, or irritation around the g-tube site. Usually granulation tissue can be treated with a steroid ointment or silver nitrate that is put on by a doctor or nurse in the clinic. In rare cases, granulation tissue may need treatment by a general surgeon. Please tell your GI doctor if you think your child may have granulation tissue.
How can I tell if my child's g-tube is infected?
Skin infections occur when normal germs that live on the skin or in the environment break into the tissues under the skin (Figure 2). Some children can get skin infections around their g-tube.
Call your GI doctor right away if your child has ANY of these signs of infection:
- redness around the g-tube site that spreads out past the area right around the stoma insertion site
- swelling around the g-tube
- warmth or soreness at the g-tube site
- unexplained fevers
- white or yellow drainage coming from the g-tube site
G-tube infections can often be treated with antibiotics which can be given either by mouth or put through the g-tube. In severe cases, antibiotics may need to be given through an IV. Please call your child's GI doctor if you think your child has a skin infection at the g-tube site.
What should I do if the g-tube is clogged?
Slowly flush the g-tube with 5-10 ml of warm water. Roll the g-tube between your fingers to break up anything clogged in the tube. Do not try to push an object into the g-tube to unclog it. Do not use carbonated beverages, cranberry juice or other "sticky" syrup based products to try to unclog the g-tube. These products can make the clogging worse.
If the g-tube is able to be flushed, you can continue to use the tube. Always remember to flush the g-tube before and after use to prevent the g-tube from clogging.
If you are not able to flush the g-tube, call your GI doctor or the GI doctor on-call.
Who can I call if I have questions?
Please call the GI office (617) 355-6058 if you have questions or concerns. Our GI nurses can help you with all types of PEG tube questions:
- Monday–Friday, 8:00am–4:30pm, a nurse in the GI clinic will be available to help you.
- Weekdays after 4:30pm, Weekends, and Holidays, you can use the same number to reach a GI doctor on-call for urgent questions or emergencies.
If your child is followed by General Surgery:
Call the General Surgery outpatient nurses at (617) 355-7716 or (617) 355-7704.
- Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm
Call the Children's Hospital page operator at (617) 355-6369 and ask for the General Surgery Senior Resident on-call.
- Weeknights, 5:00pm–8:30am, Weekends, or Holidays

This is the official web site for Guelph Life Drawing.
This event is a twice weekly event to stretch our artistic legs and draw from a model. We run it on Tuesdays and Saturdays. This poster I made does a better and prettier job of explaining it than I.
I would really like to emphasis that this event is very open to NEW artists. If you've never drawn from the model and care to learn some things, stop on by. If you want advice or tutoring in any way, just ask. If you want to enjoy your art in your own privacy, this is equally accepted.
The study of anatomy and the human body transcends merely being able to draw the human form, but is more importantly a way of training your eye to see. Learning to see with an artful, keen eye is important across a wide spectrum of disciplines - beyond those involved in the artistic realm directly.
Above all, I hope to encourage a strong cultural, artistic community here in Guelph, as we're not too shabby in these regards anyway.
Cheers, and I hope to see you soon.
-Garth Laidlaw, group organizer

This spring, Carolina Herrera has taken the meaning of manipulating fabric to an entirely new level. In terms of fabric technique, you name it, this collection's got it—everything from twisted, to puckered to beaded was a huge part of this spring's line.
Inspired by Japanese blackest, Herrera included warm tones such as, amber, silver and caramel, throughout the collection. The sportswear looks have been praised by Women's Wear Daily saying she had the most success with "a two-tone raffia jacket with a thick braided collar with an embroidered skirt and an iridescent coppery satin shirt tucked into tweedy side-tied pants." -Tracey Johnsen

Mele e Pere, 46 Brewer Street, London W1
Take a trip down the apples and pears to Soho's sensational Italian newcomer
Sunday 19 February 2012
So here we are, standing in a queue outside Pitt Cue Co, the red-hot new barbecue specialists in Soho, on the coldest night of the year. (I'm surely not the first to rechristen it Pitt Queue Co.) A woman walks past and pauses. "What the hell are you doing, waiting out here in the cold?" she gasps. "It's not like there isn't anywhere else to eat around here..." And that's how we end up in Mele e Pere.
Perhaps the cold has iced up my brain, as it takes me a while to realise the brightly lit corner building with a window full of glass apples and pears, and just the tip of a staircase showing, is the restaurant, a spanking-new Italian (mele e pere, duh).
Mr M and I trot down the tiled steps to see a long, copper-topped bar and a low-ceilinged room, with rather attractive mismatched wooden tables and chairs.
The walls have Anglepoise lamps of differing vintages attached to illuminate the tables. A neat trick, but the effect is somewhat spoilt on the back wall by four ghastly abstract paintings which frankly would be better off in the shadows, if not in a skip outside. (Apologies to owner Peter Hughes and co-owner/chef Andrea Mantovani, both late of the ace Wild Honey, who clearly have otherwise excellent taste, but really...)
We are brought a pitcher of water and a short, purely Italian menu. It's refreshing to find a simple, confident menu of a single cuisine. Starters include tripe with Parmesan, salumi with rabbit bruschetta, Venetian salt cod. Then pastas: linguine with Sicilian gambero, tagiatelle with beef-cheek ragu, an artichoke risotto; main courses include calves' liver alla Veneziana, bistecca alla Fiorentina, and grilled plaice. Sides are chard, grilled peppers, roasted fennel and chicory.
There's much to tempt, and having a biddable companion such as Mr M makes it easy to mix and match. In this case, one starter, two pasta dishes and one main course with two side dishes (one is included in the mains price).
A beetroot, gorgonzola, walnut and pear salad (£7.50) is pleasant enough; not sensational. But oh, the pastas.
Spaghetti alla carbonara (£7.50) is a dish many think they can make, but to make it well is rare indeed. This one is sublime – rich with egg and cheese, soft strands of pasta and generous chunks of salty bacon. Nothing fancy, just a perfect, comforting bowl of goodness. I'd have licked it clean; Mr M restrains himself.
My orecchiette with Romanesco broccoli, friggitelli (mild peppers) and clams (£7.95) is more unusual, but just as delicious. The vegetable has a bitter tang that offsets the sweet little clams beautifully, and breadcrumbs give texture to the little ears of pasta.
Our slow-roasted shoulder of lamb (£16.95) is silky soft and full of flavour, a nubbin of gristle on one slice the only distraction. A side of borlotti beans is cooked well but with no heat from the chilli. The roasted fennel is excellent – oil-slicked chunks with charred stripes.
We've been so engrossed in our food that we barely notice the other tables, but a large family group (at whose head is a well-known footballer) and two women sharing wine and some serious gossip are among the convivial fellow diners. It's only half-full, but it is an icy Tuesday on week two, so I expect things to get busier.
Maître'd Hugo has been keeping a solicitous eye on us, enquiring every now and then as to our enjoyment of the meal. When he arrives once more with the pudding menu it feels like too much attention. He wants to know if I'm ordering ice-cream (from a selection which includes Mr M's favourite, zabaglione, with home-made lingue di gatto biscuits, £6.50). I was already, in fact, going to order ice-cream – a scoop each of Valrhona chocolate and hazelnut – so don't need the loving description of the very, very special Bravo Trittico machine they use to make it. In fact, Hugo is in danger of overselling the ices. He insists on me trying pistachio at his expense (and I'm sure he hasn't rumbled me as a critic). This had better be good.
Three pretty little glasses arrive. I dip into each in turn. It's a long way beyond good. It's amazing, memorable, fabulous. The texture is creamy with no hint of watery iciness; the flavours remarkable.
So I end up with something frozen anyway, on this freezing night. Next time I'm in Soho I will make a point of coming back to Mele e Pere just for a bowl of carbonara and a scoop of ice-cream. It'll be £10 exceptionally well spent.
Scores: 1-3 stay home and cook, 4 needs help, 5 does the job, 6 flashes of promise, 7 good, 8 special, can't wait to go back, 9-10 as good as it gets

FEMP issued a Call for Technical Services in May 2010 to help Federal agencies identify and prioritize energy efficiency, water efficiency, and renewable energy projects. Read information about the Call for Technical Services (including technical service opportunities, application process, selection criteria, reporting requirements, and contacts).
In fiscal year (FY) 2009, FEMP used more than $13 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to finance one-year technical assistance efforts stemming from the Call for Technical Services. Funds were provided to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory and technical contractor teams to provide technical assistance.
Recovery Act technical assistance project stories are available.
FEMP has a compressed timeframe in which to identify projects, allocate funds for technical assistance, and prepare final reports. The image below shows the timeframe for the FEMP technical assistance program.
One-Year Timeframe for the FEMP Technical Assistance Program funded by the Recovery Act.
All agencies that submitted proposals for technical assistance received FEMP Recovery Act funding for at least one project. FEMP received 294 project proposals and funded 120. A breakdown of project selection by agency is provided below. Technical assistance funding for agencies matched the Federal Energy Footprint (Federal Energy Use).
Breakdown of FEMP Recovery Act funded technical assistance projects by agency.
A brief description of the type of technical assistance provided to each awarded agency includes:
Project kickoff meetings have been completed. The majority of site visits have been completed with most others currently underway. Recovery Act technical assistance project stories are available.
DOE national laboratory services are also available through the Department's Work for Others (WFO) program. The program enables DOE laboratories to receive direct funding from other Federal agencies for technical service projects.
Under the WFO arrangement, laboratories can provide all services listed above with an emphasis on particular technologies and core expertise. Key laboratory staff can also be detailed to work within agencies for a limited period of time (typically no more than 24 months.

An East Haven man has been arrested by state police for allegedly attempting to smuggle drugs into the Cheshire Correctional Institution where he served as a corrections officer.
Arcolain Fountain, 46, of Mill Street in East Haven, was charged Tuesday with criminal attempt to convey unauthorized items into a correctional facility, criminal attempt to possess narcotics and criminal attempt to possess a hallucinogenic.
The arrest is a result of a State Police Statewide Narcotics Task Force investigation that began in March.
The investigation — which was assisted by the Security Division of the Department of Corrections — was focused on information discovered that a corrections officer might attempt to convey illegal narcotics into the Cheshire Correctional Institution, according to State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance.
Vance reports that while conducting surveillance state police detectives observed Fountain "conducting a hand to hand narcotics transaction" in the commuter lot of I-84, Exit 28, in Southington.
"Members of the State Police Tactical Team moved in and arrested Fountain without incident," Vance stated in a press release this afternoon.
Narcotics evidence was seized at the scene, as well as a 2001 Suzuki motorcycle. In addition, detectives also responded to Fountain's East Haven apartment where personal handguns were also seized.
Fountain was held on $100,000 cash or surety bond, and he is scheduled to appear in Meriden Court today.
The Connecticut State Police Statewide Narcotics Unit South Central Field Office is comprised of state police detectives and officers from New Haven, Orange, Woodbridge, Cheshire and West Haven police departments.

Why would a talented young woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death? Through five lengthy hospital stays, endless therapy, and the loss of family, friends, jobs, and all sense of what it means to be "normal," Marya Hornbacher lovingly embraced her anorexia and bulimia -- until a particularly horrifying bout with the disease in college put the romance of wasting away to rest forever. A vivid, honest, and emotionally wrenching memoir, "Wasted" is the story of one woman's travels to reality's darker side -- and her decision to find her way back on her own terms.

Besides my busy private dog training business, I also started an online website appropriately named Watch and Train. I am currently redoing the site, but you can still find helpful EBooks, training harnesses, and phone or email support.
I graduated in March of 2002 with honors from Jean Donaldson's Academy for Dog Trainers, founded in 1999 in San Francisco with the aim of providing comprehensive and leading edge education to dog trainers, behavior counselors and other companion dog professionals.
A rigorous, positive-reinforcement, hands-on academy based on humane treatment of animals, learning theory and fact, the school has gained a reputation as the "Harvard for dog trainers." Jean Donaldson has written Mine! A Guide to Resource Guarding, Dogs are from Neptune, and Culture Clash, which Dr. Ian Dunbar, veterinarian, Ph.D, author and pioneer of positive dog training, called "quite simply the best dog book I've ever read."
Although after 10 years of instruction the founders of the Academy parted ways with the SFSPCA to new ventures, the experiences and knowledge gained at the Academy is something that I cherish to this day. Jean Donaldson is still considered an innovator and brilliant mind in the positive reinforcement dog training world.
Thanks to my loyal, happy clients, I was the recipient of the 2004 1st Runner Up award in the category of Best Dog Trainer in Chicagoland Tails magazine. Considering all of the competition in this area, I am very proud of this accomplishment.
I attended an intensive Clicker Training seminar led by Karen Pryor, renowned animal trainer and behaviorist.
I'm a member of The APDT (Association for Pet Dog Trainers), a professional organization of trainers who seek to advocate positive reinforcement training by offering continuing educational opportunities for trainers, other animal professionals and the public. I have attended 5-day seminars in Portland, Oregon; Orlando, Florida; and Oakland California.
The success I made for myself in my previous career as a consultant, culminating in work as a Creative Director at Inforte, helped hone my client service skills and creativity to solve problems and produce results. I provided internet direction for clients across the U.S. More important, that success allowed me to follow this dream of a life devoted to strengthening the bond between people and dogs. Through first-hand experience I also appreciate people's busy schedules and strive to design a strategy to help you have a rich relationship with your dog within the confines of your busy schedule.
My undergraduate degree in Journalism and Fine Arts helped lay the foundation for solid research, setting and meeting deadlines, attentive listening and clear communication in both the written and visual form.

Police say the woman was badly beaten and found outside the popular Italian restaurant Fugazzi's, off Main Street in Downtown Visalia.
The attack happened around 4:30 Monday morning.
People say Downtown is busy around that time.
But police are still reviewing surveillance video and following few leads.
They have questioned a person of interest but no one has been arrested, and people are on alert.
"We make sure to look around and know what's going on around us. It's getting pretty bad when it's...right in Visalia," said Rowena Wirht before walking into Fugazzi's for dinner.
"When things occur like this and a victim isn't able to speak to us. One of the things the investigator might do is try to retrace the victim's steps prior to the assault," said Sgt. Amy Watkins.
If you have any information about the attack-you're urged to Detective Ken Smythe at 559-713- 4722.

There's just something about that yellow, orange, red and green that makes my brain go WOW at this time of the year. Hope you enjoy the color as much as I do.

BBJ Event: Open Innovation - Collaborate for Business Acceleration
Time: 07:30:00 - 10:00:00
Place: MCLE, Inc. 10 Winter Place
Rethink Robotics Inc., formerly Heartland Robotics, has received a $30 million Series C round of funding, the company announced Tuesday.
Sigma Partners led the round along with new investor Draper Fisher Jurvetson and past investors Charles River Ventures, Highland Capital Partners, and Bezos Expeditions, the personal investment company of Jeff Bezos.
Founded by iRobot Corp. co-founder Rodney Brooks, Rethink is focused on building robots that drive efficiency in manufacturing. The company is slated to show the world its first robots later this year, the Wall Street Journal reported in May.
Rodney Brooks, chairman and CTO of Boston-based Rethink Robotics and the inventor behind iRobot's technology, said the robots will be made affordable for small manufacturers.
"Rethink Robotics has made great strides toward completing their flagship product, an entirely new category of manufacturing robot," Sigma Partners Managing Director Paul Flanagan said in a prepared statement. "Their timing could not be better as recently businesses have expressed powerful reasons that they want to re-shore their manufacturing operations."
Brooks recently discussed the role of robots and how they can be used in manufacturing at Leaders for Global Operations, a two-day event and extension of the LGO program, a collaboration between the MIT School of Engineering, MIT Sloan School of Management and LGO manufacturing and industry partners.

Four Facts: Light Years at the AIC
I'm going to experiment with a new, more regular (hopefully) feature to summarize the exhibitions I come across. (I still plan on a series of posts about private collectors who build museums for their collections, because "that shit cray.") Also meet my colleague and art world partner in crime: Bonnie O; she's going to be blogging about her art adventures (of which she has many).
This Week's Four Facts:
Light Years: Conceptual Art and Photography, 1964-1977
At the Art Institute of Chicago, through March 11

1. | Grunter | ||
Named after a popular South African sport-fish (Spotted Grunter - Pomadasys commersonni) which is known for grunting like a pig when landed, a grunter is a very unattractive woman. The term is so widely used that young men developed a game called 'Hunt the Grunt' whereby each player adds money to a pot and the aim is to score the ugliest girl/woman possible on any one night. At the end a winner is decided by popular (unpopular) vote and he takes the pot. It is then his decision whether or not to buy his grunter a drink with his winnings. A:Bro, that thing you scored last night was an absolute grunter!
B: Get fucked, meat is meat and a man must eat. |
2. | grunter | ||
an upsized poo that is simply too large to be expelled without grunting, clenching, and the bursting of facial blood vessels.
"dropping a grunter" is the act of producing one of these intimidating steamers. "where the fuck is stu, i'm thinking of stealing his weed"
"he's in the bathroom dropping a grunter, i can hear him struggling with it from here. yeah pack me a cone too, he's still grunting away... we'll have enough time." "rad... LOVE the grunter" |
3. | Grunter | ||
A Grunter, is someone who is very ugly and usually has a huge bottom jaw. When you look at a grunter its almost impossible to not picture them acting like an ape throwing the poo everywhere. There are different levels of grunting, a high level grunter would deemed, "He Grunts On A University Level" whereas most just grunt on a 6th grade level. Dylan: WHOA Shlab...Check out that Grunt Lord!
Sean: Holy Shit! that Grunter looks like he's the type of guy to eat a load of shit every morning! Dylan: yah... |
4. | grunter | ||
A right rough old dog, with yellow bleached hair, 5 inches of greasy roots and no intellect, who's been fucked left, right and centre by thick, ugly, tattooed, toothless neanderthal-type blokes all her life.

From: http://brooklyn.about.com/od/historicbrooklyn/a/History.htmBrooklyn was once home to the Canarsie Native American tribe, people who fished and farmed the land. In the early 1600s, though, Dutch colonists moved in and took over the area. Over the next 400 years, Brooklyn's forested, rural landscape gave way to urbanization, and the area eventually became the Brooklyn we know today -- one of the most populated regions in the United States. Below is a brief history of the borough.Mid-1600s - Dutch Colonies FormOriginally, Brooklyn consists of six separate Dutch towns, all chartered by the Dutch West India Company. The colonies are known as: Gravesend, settled in 1645 Breuckelen, settled in 1646 New Amersfoort (present-day Flatlands), settled in 1647 Midwout (present-day Flatbush), settled in 1652 New Utrecht, settled in 1657 Boswijck (present-day Bushwick), settled in 16611664 - The English Take ControlIn 1664, the English conquer the Dutch and gain control of Manhattan, along with Brooklyn, which then becomes a part of the colony of New York. On November 1, 1683, the six colonies that make up Brooklyn are established as Kings County.1776 - The Battle of BrooklynIt is August of 1776 when the Battle of Brooklyn, one of the first skirmishes between the British and the Americans in the Revolutionary War, takes place. George Washington positions troops in Brooklyn, and fighting occurs throughout many present-day neighborhoods, including Flatbush and Park Slope. The British defeat the Americans, but because of bad weather, the American troops are able to flee to Manhattan. Many soldiers are thus saved.1783 - America RulesThough controlled by the British during the war, New York officially becomes an American state with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.1801 to 1883 - Famous Landmarks are BuiltIn 1801, the Brooklyn Navy Yard opens. A little more than a decade later, in 1814, the steam ship Nassau begins service between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Brooklyn's economy grows, and it is incorporated as the City of Brooklyn in 1834. Soon after, in 1838, the Green-Wood Cemetery is created. Twenty years later, in 1859, the Brooklyn Academy of Music is formed. Prospect Park opens to the public in 1867, and one of Brooklyn's most famous landmarks, the Brooklyn Bridge, is opened in 1883.Late 1800s - Brooklyn ThrivesIn 1897, the Brooklyn Museum opens, though at the time it is known as the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. In 1898, Brooklyn merges with New York City and becomes one of its five boroughs. The next year, in 1899, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the world's first children's museum, opens its doors to the public.Early 1900s - Bridges, Tunnels, and a Sports StadiumWhen the Williamsburg Bridge opens in 1903, it is the largest suspension bridge in the world. Five years later, in 1908, the city's first subway begins running trains between Brooklyn and Manhattan. In 1909, the Manhattan Bridge is completed.Ebbets Field opens in 1913, and the Brooklyn Dodgers, formerly known as the Bridegrooms and then the Trolley Dodgers, have a new place to play.1929 to 1964 - A Skyscraper Comes to BrooklynBrooklyn's tallest building, the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, is completed in 1929. In 1957, the New York Aquarium comes to Coney Island, and the Dodgers leave Brooklyn. Seven years later, in 1964, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is completed, connecting Brooklyn to Staten Island.1964 to Present - Continuing GrowthIn 1966, the Brooklyn Navy Yard closes and becomes New York's first landmarked historic district. The 1980s bring about the Metro Tech Center, a high-rise development in downtown Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and the beginnings of the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Baseball comes to Brooklyn once more in 2001, with the Brooklyn Cyclones playing from Coney Island's KeySpan Park. In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau calculates Brooklyn's population at 2,508,820.
Many people today wonder why the American Indian gave up their land without a fight. The Dutch Europeans brought their diseases with them from Europe and the sickness decimated entire indian villages up and down coast. It was to the point where most indians died and their land was then there for the taking. A sad episode in the history of this country.
Great thread Mike ! I always have a special liking to Brooklyn,as both my mother and my father, were born there. My grandparents also settled there when they arrived from Europe. I read someplace that Canarse was a mistranslated Dutch word for rabbit,as that area was loaded with rabbits. There was also a Brooklyn regiment in the Civil War,that wore a special uniform. Brooklyn was the heart of NYC at one time,as most of the New Yorkers lived,and worked there. Thanks again for the great history of Brooklyn.
Correction ! That part about Canarsie. I ment to say Coney Island. The Dutch word for rabbit is konijn. The English mispronounced it ,and made it Coney Island. "Probably because they couldn't pronounce it ". LOL jimbo : Very sad what was done to those native Americans. They were a proud people,that lved very close with the earth,and also respected it a great deal. The Europeans came here for a land grab,and didn't respect anything. Shame.
Hey bring the Dodgers home already what the fud :)
The one story that you have retold iv already heard. But the one with the two ladys is a pretty good short storie. I wish that i understood it a little more, but i do know that it was written very well.

West's Idea of No Nukes Doesn't Include Itself (Part 1)
The West insists on nuclear nonproliferation, but refuses to reciprocate with meaningful disarmament.
Cross-posted from Truthout.
When dueling narratives clash and the subject is nuclear weapons, the sparks that fly could make flashing sabers seem dim in comparison. According to conventional thinking in the West, Iran is not abiding by the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and restraining itself from all nuclear weapons activities. Thus it should be denied its right to enrich uranium. But, in the view of much of the rest of the world, the West is making little more than cosmetic efforts to roll back its nuclear arsenals. Therefore, it has no business denying Iran nuclear energy -- not to mention nuclear weapons (but that's another story).
In other words, the side that committed to disarming thinks that the side that promised not to proliferate is. And the side that promised not to proliferate thinks that the side that committed to disarming is not.
In truth, abundant evidence exists that any nuclear-weapons work Iran has done since 2003 is conceptual, if that, which is not expressly forbidden by the NPT. The uranium it enriches to the higher levels that worry the West seems to be for medical isotopes, which are used for radiation therapy, as well as diagnosis. Combined with enrichment at lower levels for nuclear energy, it serves as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

In the famous poem "Paul Revere's Ride," Revere instructs his fellow patriots to use lanterns to signal whether there's an attack coming by land or sea. While we may no longer have to fear the British, Americans should be warned of a new threat coming by sea in the form of President Obama's National Ocean Policy and ocean zoning initiative.
President Obama is using the ocean as his latest regulatory weapon to impose new bureaucratic restrictions on nearly every sector of our economy. While marketed as a common sense plan for the development and protection of our oceans, it is instead being used to create a massive new bureaucracy that would harm our economy.
Established through Executive Order, Mr. Obama with a simple stroke of a pen took unilateral action to impose a massive top-down federal bureaucracy with broad regulatory control over our oceans, Great Lakes, rivers, tributaries and watersheds.

The only one that really helped me was the fourth tip... Anyway, for people that are newbies this is really awesome!
Oct 22nd
Jealousy Kiwonza, probably jealousy... To be honest, I don't care about groans, it serves no purpose
May 17th
Great tips Jikar, thanks! I'm quite new to bitstrips, and these tips will really help me with making comics.
March 21st
The simplest answer is jealousy creepymouse3... that or they're just trolling. I honesly couldn't care less about groans.

Thanks for the advice on making better comics. This will really help me when making comic. I LK it!!
August 24th
Thnaks for the tips. I didn't really need this, since I downloaded Flash and don't really use this to make comics that much anymore, but it was helpful. The only aggrivating thig for me is when you highlight a character and move certain body parts, it doesn't move in front or behind only that part, but the body as a whole. This is frustrating whenever I try to put things in character's hands. If this can be fixed, could ya help me out? Thanks.

There are a few good reasons mayson22222222. 1 - Comics aren't just about being funny... A large number of comics on this site are actually serious comics. 2 - I felt like being helpful towards others, and if you've got a problem with that then I'm just not even going to bother.
July 17th
i dont get the idea why make a comic about how to make comics better when you can make something that is funny i just dont get it

***** Update: You can upgrade iPhones or 1st Generation iPod Touches (No support for newer versions yet), Pwnage 2.2.1 is Out! *****
For the first time since the first iPhone was out, an Unlock was available pre-Jailbreak release! Dev-Team's YellowSn0w unlock still works with the new firmware, yet Pwnage tools to jailbreak the iPhone or iPod Touch were scarce (Read the earlier feed about that, and what features are added by the upgrade in general, here) until moments ago… So before the release of a jailbreaking tool, you could have upgraded to have a phone working but without all the goodies that come along with jailbreaking, so it was advised to wait until the release of a Pwnage update before doing so. But now the wait is over!

What if you had solar produced ethanol? Could you fuel an internal combustion motor if there was a small solar powered refinery that only made race Ethanol for the 50k purse (from sun grown corn)?
Probably a bit rushed for this Mil but next year???
Wait, disregard this post.
ANNOUNCING "7000' solar Ethanol LLC" coming soon.......

I have a friend building a Electric class 10 car for this right now. Gonna have to switch 400lb batteries at each pit. I can't see it working very well but we will see.
Ashcraft Racing #78 / DA Family
The technology is here and this could be done now. However it would cost millions and take years of refining with the right team of people to have a shot at the overall victory.
BUCKLE UP...i want to try something
Did you see the hybrid Toyotas in the Le Mans race? Killer acceleration off the turns from the stored energy.
"I can't wait for right now"
No disrespect ment but how is this possible when we have serious problems with the "race" batteries that we use now? heck even big time companies like Sony ,Apple, Tesla,Chevy and Fiskar have had/are having problems with their batteries..or am I missing something, cng powered gas turbine maybe? TON of money to be sure
Not just an internet racer!!
Here are the two rules as I understand them: 1. purely electric-powered vehicle. 2. electricity to charge batteries must come from photovoltaic source (solar cells).
Initially, I thought there had to be onboard solar charging, but I guess not. The batteries in the pits just need to have been charged via solar electricity. That changes my outlook. I also suppose that economics and practicality don't count for this challenge.
This can be done, I suppose, if you have fully-charged battery banks at each pit, and the electric motors can handle the dirt/silt/mechanical shock. Since at least half of the run will be in darkness, I would say that the current draw from the driving lights would seriously jeopardize the run, but I suppose LED light bars make this possible. What is the wattage drawn from a capable LED light bar?
This whole challenge will certainly be interesting to follow. I would like to see some updates from Redstone Energy Group. I also want to be corrected if I have misunderstood the contest rules.
FYI: "Monster" Nobihuro Tajima, last year's absolute record setter, is running an all-electric open-class car at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb this year. I suspect he will set a new time record with the 100% paved course. His vehicle is totally badazz. Gonna be a tough decision.... HDRA Reno July 7 or Pikes Peak July 8?

Winnipeg's strategic geographical location made it the natural focus for the western extension of the transcontinental railways. With the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway (1885), the city was launched into a period of growth and prosperity unequalled in Canadian urban development. A flood of immigrants, high wheat prices, plentiful capital and improved dryland farming all contributed to sustained growth. The city became the wholesale, administrative and financial centre of the West. By 1911 Winnipeg ranked fourth in Canada in manufacturing.
This meteoric rise had peaked by 1914, when the city entered a recession. The WINNIPEG GENERAL STRIKE (1919) left scars, and the GREAT DEPRESSION plunged business, manufacturing, wholesale trade and the mail-order business into sharp decline. Factories closed and unemployment soared. Not until World War II did the city lift out of its stubborn depression. Conditions improved greatly in the postwar years, but growth was slow and steady compared to the frenzied pace earlier this century.
In the interim, the development of oil, natural gas, coal and potash shifted economic power westward. Winnipeg's previous monopoly on the marketing of agricultural products and distribution of goods was challenged by other Prairie cities. However, the city's traditional resources have sustained its commerce and its position as one of the largest cities on the Prairies.
River lots and fur trade routes shaped early street patterns, and later the dominant feature was the railway, which physically divided the city in 2: the "North End" was the home of most of the city's Slavs and Jews; the prosperous and politically dominant Anglo-Saxons were concentrated in the west and south. Commerce centred at Portage Avenue and Main Street, and after 1886 industry moved from the riverbanks to the rail lines.
Early ARCHITECTURE was in the indigenous form, called "Red River Frame," composed of vertical and horizontal logs. Early public buildings and better houses were built of limestone in imported styles, and after the railway arrived, Winnipeg began to resemble other cities of the time. Prosperity brought greater pretensions, notably the famous "gingerbread" city hall, a picturesque Victorian fantasy built in 1886 and demolished in 1962. Much of the city had to be rebuilt after the disastrous Red River Flood (1950). In 1968 a floodway dubbed "Duff's Ditch" after former Manitoba premier Duff ROBLIN was opened to protect the city from such disasters. The floodway has been tested many times since (such as in 1997) and has proven to work well.
The first major shopping centre was built in 1959, and during the 1960s and 1970s Winnipeg changed steadily, though not as dramatically as places like CALGARY. Nonetheless, almost the entire urban landscape was remade. New industrial parks housed relocated industries. A new city hall, convention centre and a Centennial Centre, including a planetarium, concert hall and museum, were completed. Numerous high-rise hotels, banks and office buildings altered the skyline, and industries relocated to new industrial parks.
More major changes occurred during the late 1980s when a stretch of downtown Winnipeg's famous Portage Avenue was dramatically remade with new office and apartment buildings, a major shopping mall and enclosed pedestrian bridges which connected much of the downtown. Government and private funds were also used to redevelop many areas, including Chinatown in downtown Winnipeg, the Italian quarter along Corydon Avenue and downtown's Exchange District, one of the most historically intact turn-of-the-century warehouse areas in North America.
When the 3 government levels revitalized the Canadian National Railway East Yards to open The Forks, the waterfront was opened to Winnipeg for the first time in decades and "The Forks" became the nucleus of 128 km of interconnecting walkways which wind through Winnipeg. Plans for more riverwalks are being developed. The Forks also contains numerous shops, restaurants and cultural facilities.
Winnipeg changed in several distinct stages from a small, compact, ethnically homogeneous community to a large, sprawling, cosmopolitan city. With the exception of a sharp increase in the early 1880s, growth was steady and resulted primarily from immigration from Britain and Ontario. These early immigrants established a dominance that persisted until after 1945, despite the arrival of other groups. In contrast, the growth from 1900 to 1913 was phenomenal, and by 1911 Winnipeg was the third-largest city in Canada. Rapid growth placed strains on the city, which faced serious problems of public health and the provision of services.
But the most serious problem was the conflict of values between the charter groups and the immigrants, many of whom were Slavs and Jews who did not fit into the Anglo-Canadian mold and as a result experienced overt discrimination, ranging from residential segregation to job discrimination and destruction of their property. A deeply prejudiced majority saw the immigrants as a threat, and by 1920 Winnipeg was a city of isolated and frequently bitter ethnic groups. Tensions eased as immigration declined during the period 1920-60 and as natural increase played a greater role. The decrease in hostilities was apparent when Stephen JUBA, a Ukrainian, was elected mayor in 1956. Juba was joined by increasing numbers of other non-Anglo-Saxons on city council and also in other public positions.
After 1960 the population of the city proper actually declined as surrounding municipalities grew. In 1972, Winnipeg and these municipalities were unified into one city, dubbed "Unicity," which also included the large concentration of Francophones from ST-BONIFACE. In recent years, Winnipeg's population has generally increased slowly.
Winnipeg has become more cosmopolitan with each succeeding decade and is now one of Canada's most ethnically diverse cities. By the 1990s, the city's Francophone community was declining slightly, but the aboriginal community was Winnipeg's fastest growing population. Other major ethnic groups include SOUTHEAST ASIANS, SOUTH ASIANS and POLES.
Winnipeg dominates Manitoba's economy, containing 55% (1996c) of the provincial population and 65% of its labour force, producing most of its manufactured goods and accounting for more than two-thirds of its retail sales. It is still pre-eminently a transportation centre, with extensive rail and air links, the head offices of several major Canadian trucking firms and the Canadian Air Force headquarters, Air Command. However, the economy has diversified with strong manufacturing and export industries which protect it from boom-or-bust cycles and create a stable, albeit slower-growing economy. Recently there has also been growth in MEDICAL RESEARCH, health care industries, TELECOMMUNICATIONS and information-processing companies.
Still the headquarters for Canada's grain industry, it is home to the country's only commodity exchange (see WINNIPEG COMMODITY EXCHANGE). Winnipeg has also retained some of its prominence as a financial and insurance centre. All 3 levels of government are major employers but in recent years have reduced staff due to budget restraints.
The city has a long tradition of "boosterism." In 1906 the Winnipeg Development and Industrial Bureau was organized to promote manufacturing and commerce. It became the Industrial Development Board (1925) and operated until 1979, when Winnipeg Business Development Inc was formed to attract high-technology industry to the city. In 1991, Winnipeg 2000 Economic Development Corporation was established as an arm's-length agency that encourages economic and business development.
Government and Politics
Until 1920 Winnipeg was governed by a mayor and 14 aldermen from 7 wards. In 1920, after the general strike, the ward system was, in effect, gerrymandered by business interests to prevent labour representatives from gaining control of city government. The move worked, for although a few radical mayors and aldermen were elected, the so-called "Citizens' League" retained a majority on council. The powerful Board of Control, created in 1907, was representative of the URBAN REFORM movement of the time. The mayor and 4 controllers, elected annually, carried out the executive work. The board was disbanded in 1918.
The next attempt at reform did not take place until the 1960s when Winnipeg was moved into the forefront of North American cities by first creating a metropolitan form of government and then moving to a unified, single level of government. Although the division of the region into a number of separate jurisdictions made it difficult to provide services and administer community affairs, it was not until the 1950s that the first step was taken towards REGIONAL GOVERNMENT. In 1960 the Metropolitan Winnipeg Act was passed, creating a new alignment of 7 cities, 5 suburban municipalities and one town.
The Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg was given sole authority over planning, zoning, building, flood control and transportation, which made many of the municipalities unhappy. In 1972 through the formation of Unicity, the provincial government replaced the area municipalities with a 51-member city council that controlled an urban territory with a population of 550 000. With the formation of Unicity, Winnipeg became the first large North American city to move beyond the stage of split-level metropolitan government to a single administration.
The original Unicity format has been studied extensively, resulting in further reforms, such as the reduction of the council size from 51 to 30 part-time members including the mayor. In 1992, following the recommendations of the Winnipeg Wards Boundaries Commission, the provincial government further amended The City of Winnipeg Act to significantly redefine the city's political structure. Ward boundaries were again changed, and the council was reduced to 16 full-time members, including the mayor.
Cultural Life
Long a major cultural centre of the Prairie provinces, Winnipeg holds a reputation as a thriving community of literature, sport, religion, ethnic organizations, music, education and art. It has a thriving writing community with such internationally recognized authors as Carol SHIELDS and Sandra BIRDSELL. Many early novels were also either set in Winnipeg or written by novelists who had lived in the city, including Jack Ludwig, John Marlyn, Dorothy LIVESAY, Adele WISEMAN, Margaret LAURENCE and Patricia Blondel.
Winnipeg is the home of the acclaimed ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET and of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, which has the world's largest INUIT sculpture collection. The city's strong theatre community includes one of the most important regional theatres in North America, the MANITOBA THEATRE CENTRE, and Rainbow Stage, Canada's oldest continuously operating outdoor theatre, as well as several other theatre companies and the annual Fringe Festival.
Home to the WINNIPEG SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, the Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers, the Manitoba Opera Association and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Winnipeg also hosts several annual festivals, including the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, Folklorama and the famous Winnipeg Folk Festival, held just north of the city. A strong film community includes both the internationally renowned Winnipeg Film Group and the Animation Centre of the NATIONAL FILM BOARD.
The Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, Provincial Archives, the Royal Canadian Mint and Lower Fort Garry (see FORT GARRY, LOWER), a historic restoration located north of the city, and the new interactive Manitoba Children's Museum at The Forks are also major attractions.
In sports Winnipeg is noted especially for curling and football. Its rinks won the Canadian curling championship at least 12 times between 1928 and 1993, and in 1991 hosted the World Curling Championship. The WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS won the GREY CUP 10 times between 1935 and 1993. In 1972 the WINNIPEG JETS joined the World Hockey Association, and then the National Hockey League in 1979, but 1995-96 was their last season in Winnipeg. The team was sold and moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Winnipeg hosted the fifth Pan-American Games in 1967 and again in 1999. Other amenities include the Assiniboine Park Zoo and an extensive park system.
The UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA (founded 1877), the UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG (founded 1871, as Manitoba College), St-Boniface College (founded 1818) and more recently Red River Community College, Concord College, Catherine Booth College and Providence College are located in Winnipeg. There are several special educational facilities, such as the Manitoba School for the Deaf and South Winnipeg Technical Centre, and a variety of synagogues and cathedrals. The city has 2 newspapers, the WINNIPEG FREE PRESS (founded 1872) and the Winnipeg Sun (founded 1980), plus several TV stations and local radio stations.
