The 12 Greatest Real-Life Superheroes of All Time
The LAPD has performed a bltizkreig assault on the real Superheroes of Hollywood Blvd ( http://ow.ly/1Wsch ). Just in front of the world famous Grauman's Chinese Theater, dozens of Real-Life people who dress as superheroes on a daily basis were rounded up in a raid. In a sinister government plot not seen since "Heroes., Police jailed members of the" X-Men," Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Bumblebee, Mr. Incredible and Catwoman for loitering.
The Incredible Hulk and Superman were just two of the iconic loiterers who outsmarted the fuzz and returned to panhandle another day. Unlike these classic, renowned panhandlers, here are 12 people who really make a difference with their superhero costumes.

Norse God Thor Stops A Home Invasion/Robbery
This annoying man in the video to your left lets us all know exactly what happened (for a written version of the story, click the link at the bottom of this item).
During a home invasion, a robber was stunned to find a man dressed as the Norse God Thor inside, defending the home. The intruder was chased off from the flat in Edinburgh and left his shoes, and a pitchfork behind. The man jumped out of a window, landing on a roof and was not heard from again after he escaped the Norse God's wrath.
Local resident Torvald Alexander was dressed up as Thor for a New Year's Eve Party. The man is 40 years old, and still completely and irrevocably awesome.

Spider-Man Prevents Comic Book Robbery
In this absolutely heartwarming story, a local comic book store owner dressed as Spider-Man to commemorate International Free Comic Book Day. He stood around his store dressed as the masked hero all day, greeting customers and enjoying the day. That is, until a man tried to steal a comic book worth well over $100.
The owner, dressed as Spidey the whole time, noticed the shoplifter, took the book out of his bag and brought him to justice.
The best quote from the video is the shop-owner himself getting quite cheeky and letting people know about the crew who helped him out (a couple dressed as Jedi Knights and a man dressed as The Flash): "The Jedis watched the door, while The Flash kept things running...". Well played, sir. Well played. - 3
Shadow Hare Actually Cleans Up Cincinnati Crime
As the movie/comic book "Kick-Ass" asked, "why does nobody actually dress up and try to be a superhero?"... this leader of an Avengers-style (kind of) crew in Cincinnati who calls himself "Shadow Hare" proves that question wrong.
He and his team of "heroes" patrol the streets of Cincinnati, OH, and solve crimes, help the homeless and walk around in broad daylight like it was Halloween at your local high school and nobody had enough money for a real costume.
It's great to see people legitimately helping out the general public while asking for nothing in return; but it's funnier to see them dressed up like comic book heroes and handing certified police men business cards in case they "ever need help".
Their persistence, at least, is nothing to be laughed at -- despite Shadow Hare himself talking like the narration in a badly written comic book. - 4
Batman and Robin Catch Drug Suspect
Two police men dressed up as Batman and Robin captured a suspected drug offender in a weird sting operation. Once they approached the door, their intent (to confuse/disorient/distract the offenders) worked to their advantage, as the offenders would not answer the door for some crazy, costumed strangers knocking loudly on their door.
When one of the suspects decided to run out to the back of the house to try and escape, Batman and Robin were there waiting for him. Batman chased the man, hopped over a fence and arrested him. According to fellow officers, PC Eames said: "The bad thing about the operation is that we had to endure hours of terrible puns from PC Holman."

The Holy Trinity: Dark Guardian, Life and Phantom Zero
DARK GUARDIAN is the leader of a Holy Trinity, followed by LIFE and PHANTOM ZERO. Trained in martial arts, DARK GUARDIAN prides himself on patrolling the inner cesspools of New York City. Knowing that safety comes first, he is one of the few superheroes that actually dons a bullet proof vest (he's the red one in the video). While he hasn't been shot, guns have been drawn on him... scary as he only arms himself with pepper spray. According to his MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/darkguardianhero) there is a meeting of the heroes this upcoming Sunday (6/8/2010). His powers include: - Bullet-proof vest - Human strength and (obviously) Persistence.
LIFE is one of the few Hassidic Jewish Superheros, and can be found in the video to your left. Born of meager means, he followed the tenants of his faith. This includes leaving the world in a better place than he found it. From http://www.reallifesuperheroes.com/2010/05/21/life/: "This moral code, underscored with a powerful sense of social justice, led him to his work with the homeless and disenfranchised that he found all around him, dispensing those seemingly small amenities that vitally fill in the gaps left by the NYC Department of Homeless Services."
His powers include: - Giving toiletries to the homeless - Helping confused/needy homeless find shelter - Giving out food to the homeless. L'chaim! He can be found at http://www.myspace.com/theycalledhimlaz
PHANTOM ZERO is one of the first bridge and tunnel superheroes. Based in New Jersey, he's often found on the streets of New York. While in most media appearances, he seems like an earnest enough bloke, do not cross him. In this video, he responds to detractors.
From his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/ph0hero "The most important aspect of being a Real Life Super Hero is as simple as this: You selflessly serve a pro social mission. It's not about conquering groups of people to display your physical or martial prowess. It's not about having scads of cutting edge technology at your disposal. It's not about training one's mind to the limits of human perfection so they can out think everyone and everything that comes their way."

Swiss bank UBS will pay $1.5 billion in penalties after admitting to fraud in its role in manipulating global benchmark interest rates.
The settlement follows a far-reaching investigation by regulators and law enforcement officials around the world into the setting of the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, and related interbank rates.
UBS said the payment would settle claims with U.S., U.K. and Swiss authorities. The bank has agreed to a non-prosecution deal with the U.S. Department of Justice covering all its subsidiaries except UBS Securities Japan, which pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud.
The investigation revealed extensive misconduct over a period of six years by at least 45 UBS staff, including senior managers, who sought to influence rates to benefit the bank's trading positions and make it look stronger during the financial crisis.
UBS was found to have colluded with other banks and brokers, making corrupt payments to brokers worth £15,000 per quarter over a period of 18 months.
"We deeply regret this inappropriate and unethical behavior," UBS chief executive Sergio Ermotti said in a statement. "No amount of profit is more important than the reputation of this firm, and we are committed to doing business with integrity."
Neither Ermotti nor UBS chairman Axel Weber were at UBS during the Libor-rigging period. Ermotti has begun a major restructuring, including shedding 10,000 jobs, aimed at shrinking UBS investment bank and focusing on wealth management.
The fine is the second biggest in banking history and more than three times the size of the penalty imposed earlier this year on British bank Barclays for fixing Libor. It follows a series of expensive mistakes for UBS.
Related: Explaining the Libor interest rate mess
Libor is a collection of rates generated for various currencies across 15 different time periods. The quotes are then used as benchmarks for roughly $10 trillion in loans and some $350 trillion in derivatives. For example, an adjustable-rate mortgage might require you to pay interest based on a Libor rate plus 2%.

The Let's Sign & Write software packages were developed by a close working relationship with Deafbooks.co.uk and Widgit Software in response to requests from families of sign language users and educators in this field.
The Let's Sign BSL graphics and publications are widely used in education for deaf and hearing learners, and families, baby signing groups, residential settings, adult training, BSL classes and by many others who use or teach BSL - and increasingly in the field of special educational needs.
Making the graphics available has involved a great deal of development work in researching sign vocabulary within the Deaf community and in creating the graphics resources - all of which is funded solely by revenue from existing publications, without external support such as grants or funding.
In order to continue to make the graphics available and to develop new work, we have now formed a working alliance with 'BSL for Kids', through whom the graphics continue to be available as loose graphics for purchase in a variety of licence options to suit different needs and usage.
We wish to establish and develop direct contact with users, to be able to monitor how the graphics are used and to find out what new work may be needed and how we can best meet these needs.
DeafBooks, BSLfor Kids and Widgit Software continue our working relationship, to create well-informed, stimulating and attractive resources and materials and will endeavour to respond to many and varied requirements of users.
For more information about the Let's Sign Series please contact: Michelle Andre - firstname.lastname@example.com

Ah, Lonnie. He stepped in and met a need. I needed to wear Aretha's hat back then, around the time I learned Dick Armey wouldn't marry me, and before I was lucky enough to win Freaky's hand. Lonnie, I'll always owe you.
Now, as the seasons are about to change, I wonder: Should I change hats? Aretha's is a January hat. Although it's cold in SF early in March, it will get warmer, and my head could melt, and shrink, in that big hat. Right? And what about my hair? Freaky?
But what's the answer: Go back to my old, hat-free look? Get a new hat? Get a new photo? Get pink hair? No hair?
There are so many people here whose opinions I respect, I have to toss it open to the group:
Is it time to change my hat? And/or my photo? And/or my hair?
Oh, and marytkelly: Any ideas for my image on Facebook? I will avoid the V; and I mostly think it's appropriate to keep my tongue in my mouth (unless asked to do otherwise by someone I respect) and my cleavage tucked well inside my corset (unless; ditto).
But...there's gotta be a better look than that old grey suit -- here, and on Facebook. I'm sure people have excellent ideas!
My personal opinion is leading to an afro. No hat except for church (if you go) or the Kentucky Derby.
You and Freaky should work on color coordination as well. Pink and... green (that would be nice, maybe to preppy?)
But y'all know I prefer love to jewels, so it's not about the jewel-studded tiara that Lonnie -- oh, not Lonnie, someone else! -- might design for me, it's really about, well, it's time. To everything, there is a season, etc.
What is Aretha wearing this season???
I will discuss with Freaky; her hair product alone might make mine stand up more proudly.
We Cheshire cats cannot wear such a thing, of course (we keep disappearing!), but see if it does not strike your cat fancy.
[On a personal note, I feel compelled to tell you that, yes, I have starred with Freaky in cross-species dry-humping videos. And, yes, we naturally put them on Facebook. Oh the shame!]
I'm now in favor of a Carmen Miranda fruitbowl hat with a colorful silky headband wrap complete with coochee-coochee halter sundress. Don't forget the big fruity earrings to finish the ensemble. A blaze of color to match your outstanding personality. I'm sure that Freaky would highly approve if not be a bit jealousie.
I also love the graphic design that was used previously(?).. very stylish. I'm a firm believer in a true "image" of the author, even as iconic rendering (e.g. creative altering, rather than just an symbol, which I feel many hide behind).
So,.. if you're lovely enough for gray, then sure..!, knock their socks off next with red or hot pink.
PS: As for hair, your skin tone suggests henna highlights and a light body wave... oh yeah...!
BTW, love you on MSNBC, love what you have to say.
That's what led me here and to start my blog.
On the one hand, Arethamania is always in style. On the other... Perhaps it's time to claim your place as a hat celebrity in your own right.
For days, I'm thinkin' Lady Di in subdued Wedgewood blue and wasabi with a short peach veil. Pearls. You know... Ironically virginal with that certain air that says, "Of course I'm not fooling anyone but should you remark it, I'll humiliate you in print."
Then for midnight assignations, switch to a dramatic black number with sinister jet beads, feathers from an extinct carnivore, and a chin-length veil. Diamonds. Profoundly enigmatic eye makeup, lips in edible red, and discretely lethal nails. Bedazzle an Hermes logo on a taser and claim it's your handbag. (Use it on anyone who penetrates your disguise.) Being a woman of mystery means this hat will not officially exist. We'll acquire it for you in Paris and ship it, return address marked "Johannesburg Zoo, Department of Toxicology." Keep it in the armoire with the radiation trefoil.
Since I assume you have to wear a combat helmet during your work day, you're entitled to some fun, no?
Persimmon is a lovely, bright color...lots of lovely shades in the red spectrum. Go for it!
I will email a picture for your consideration.
Rated for style
Your splendid head needs a hat,
my magic eightball says,
like cucumbers need pompadours,
like a melon needs a fez.
Joan, O Joan
Please, O please leave the hats
to those sordid freaks of the stage
Miranda, Lugosi,
Elton, Madea,
Frank and Reid and Pelosi!
Since you are a public person who appears on TV, this is not a frivilous thing. I always notice what Gwen Ifil is wearing and watched as Daljit Daliwa struggled with the part in her hair. Men? Suit, tie, hair combed, teeth brushed. Maybe you could have your colors "done"?
Time to update! Comes to us all as women.
(Altho, I loved the hat and Lonnie is a sweetie.)
Perhaps a balding Rush Limbaugh hair do?
You're far too pretty for any of that. Just plain, elegan Joan will do for me.
My advisement is this: Go where your heart leads, provided it leads you in the right direction :).
rated for haute couture
Grace Kelly look-- crisp feminine blouse, tasteful earrings and necklace, maybe a petite fleur behind your ear? Do get rid of the grey. It's too frumpy for your personality.
I do not like it on a train.
I do not like it in the rain.
I do not like it in the car; I do not like it near or far.
I do not like it with a feather; I do not like it in bad weather.
But, wait!
I DO like it on your head; I DO like it 'neath your bed.
I like your hat when it's on you; I like it though it isn't blue.
You wear it well, with grace and style.
And best of all, when 'ere you smile.
Though it is clothes which make the man,
its YOU who wears hats with élan!
You flatter all the clothes you wear with style that shows certain flair!
I like you in your purple hat.
I like you even without that.
That happened to me with a yellow "Up With People" pantsuit back in the 70's.
These little bugs kept attacking me, like I was giant flower genitalia.
As for suggestions, assuming you want to stay with a hat theme, it is Spring Training...
Although, by the time summer rolls around, of course, we'll all expect to see you in your tube top.
Or, you could go back to Aretha's original look, not an Afro, more girly and showing a hint of skin. Ah, this one for Facebook?
Oh, this is IT: Freaky's Bride.
Wear a buck's deer antler horn-hat, a porky pie bat, a llama?
A soft fedora? a magic rabbit hat? a zippy cone pointed ball cap?
The pumpkin head hat. You wear the whole hollowed orange fruit.
Look scary as a politician on teevee? Wear a honeybee bonnet? huh.
Freaky Troll would look terrific in a Bumble Bee Easter Egg Bonnet.
Perhaps loosing the hat is not a bad idea.......for a short time at least.
How about: Only wear the hat in cyberspace when you have a triumph of some kind in your professional life.......It would be an appropriate good luck ritual!!..........
Congrats on your DeLay/Limbaugh column. You really hit one out of the ballpark today!
ps--Yes, I'd say change the hat sooner than later! ;)
New hats mean renewal - go for it!
I think, instead of you changing hats, we should all ADD hats to our avatar.
(Though you doing the "V" would be riotously funny. Pretty please.)
Joan, as you have the same name as my wife, I might be tempted to suggest something, but I learnt a long time ago that one has to be very careful when referring to anything worn by a lady.
maybe, but if we only see one eye like Kerry. how do we know the other one is winking ??????
If only to R-E-S-P-E-C-T the significance of Jan. 20?
Randy said "If only to R-E-S-P-E-C-T the significance of Jan. 20?"
For jonmagee, Aretha sang My Country 'Tis of Thee on Jan. 20, at Barack Obama's inauguration.
have you looked there? Or perused Etsy.com? Or gone in search of a beautiful retro hat on eBay? Oh the possibilites are endless!
What´ll happen if you do and everybody recognizes you , eh ??
No hat, no nail polish, no ear bangles, no eye gloss and certainly no teeth whiteners that sprankle my eyes blind and absolutely no footwear of any kind or bikini strings.... just go as you came.. w/o that corset..... Donah.. (Show ´em my headshot... I won´t duck !!)

There is a concept that beer has "seasonality" and certain brews are more popular at different times of the year than others. Corona, Brahma, Bud Light Lime and many other beers launch into full swing summertime promotional campaign, calling themselves: "the beers of summer". Yet walking thorough many different bars, none of these beers are available in draught form, and therefore are not necessarily the beers of summer for many people sitting on patios all across this country. Ordering a nice cold draught really brings in the spirit of summer (while also maintaining a certain environmental responsibility due to the limited use of bottles, instead focusing on glasses, pitchers and kegs that are all re-useable) and enjoying that same draught on a patio is really the Canadian summer experience.
The local breweries from Southern Ontario are beginning to start the distribution of their local pours, which are truly original, and in many instances require a double take as to the ingredients and the name. Prime examples include brews from Hopcity, and Mill St, which are both located in the Greater Toronto Area.
Hopcity originated in 2009, as an independent brewery from Brampton, owned by natives to the region. They began by brewing Barking Squirrel Dark Lager, characterized by its intense aroma and flavour, smooth finish and resonating noble hop flavour. Hopcity has expanded to four original brews, including their summer entry, "LawnChair". Described as a classic Bavarian Hefe-Weissen, it is light in colour, unfiltered, and has citrus notes that leave a clean freshness on the palate similar to many other Hefe-Weissen beers.
Meanwhile Mill St. produced a Lemon Tea Beer for the summer 2011 season. This beer really looks and tastes like lemon iced tea, and delivers a refreshing finish to the palate. Smooth and unfiltered, it is easy to drink and does not have a strong bite to it. This year their Walker's Blueberry Wheat Beer is garnering a lot of attention, with its original flavour and pleasant aroma. Mill St. has managed to really demonstrate the potential that local breweries have and also the courage to produce original beers to compete with the large breweries out there.
Big Rock Breweries, headquartered in Calgary, focused on creating new beers that demonstrate craft brewery originality while allowing for mainstream thirst quenchers. Big Rock Lime, a light lager with a lime twist, showcases that popularity, but does not sacrifice flavour. This beer was created as an answer to a market demand for lime flavoured lagers and has gained popularity throughout Western Canada since its release.

Italy's Criscito to be questioned on match-fixing |
ROME (AP) -- Italy defender Domenico Criscito will be questioned by the Italian soccer federation on July 16 for his alleged role in a match-fixing scandal.
Criscito was dropped from Italy's European Championship squad after police interrogated him at the national team's training headquarters shortly before the tournament. He plays for Zenit St. Petersburg and is suspected of alleged wrongdoing while at Genoa.
About 50 people have been arrested since last year in the investigation into the latest match-fixing scandal to hit Italy. Prosecutors in Cremona, Bari and Naples have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring stretching as far as Singapore and South America that was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years.
Also Friday, the Italian soccer federation upheld Pescara's appeal of its two-point penalty for fixing, instead reducing the club's punishment to a $37,000 fine. The decision means Pescara will start its first campaign back in Serie A level with the rest of the clubs.

Ok – so this may not be as "geeky" as previous posts, but this post involves movies – and that's pop-culture, which fits a little bit with being a geek.
Movies. All of us in Residential Life/Housing know the movies we love to use. For training, for fun, etc. Back in the 90s, I joked with some staff that really the best question to ask in an RA interview was whether you liked the movie "Grease" or not. If you liked "Grease" you were RA material. If you didn't: "Seeya!" We were joking. Sort of. Don't get me started on "Grease 2″ though. Michelle Pfeiffer is no Olivia Newton John.
Anyway. I have two summer movie lists. Before I share them, please know – I will never recommend a movie I have never seen. There are LOTS of great movies out there (AND I would love you to comment and leave some of your own recommendations) but I don't think it is fair for me to recommend a movie I haven't seen. It is just wrong (in my opinion). So without further ado – I give you my first list of quintessential summer movies:
These are movies that are "impactful." You will be a better person for watching them (if you haven't seen them yet). They deal with themes as a Residential Life Staff member that you will come across (making a difference in someone's life, overcoming adversity, a life redeemed, etc)
- Lean on Me (Morgan Freeman)
- Best Movie. Ever. Based on a real life story, I even got to meet the real Principal "Crazy Joe Clark" at a leadership conference. It is all about one man making a difference in the lives he is educating. I STILL Cry every time when I watch this movie.
- The Power of One (Morgan Freeman)
- Another powerful movie. Dealing with Africa and apartheid, revealing the power of education to make a difference in someone's life. Best quote of the movie: "A waterfall begins with a single drop of water." If you haven't seen this movie. SEE IT.
- Stand and Deliver (Edward James Olmos)
- Another true story – about a teacher who challenges urban kids to take the AP calculus test. A movie about math. Yes!
- Shawshank Redemption (Morgan Freeman)
- Yes, I am a big Morgan Freeman fan.
- American Me (Edward James Olmos)
- And Edward James Olmos
- Remember the Titans (Denzel Washington)
- I use this movie every year in Leadership class. People sometimes give me ribbing for it, and I challenge them to find a better movie to demonstrate different styles of leadership, and mix in issues of diversity. No one has done it. Yet.
- Dangerous Minds (Michele Pfiffer)
- She makes up for "Grease 2" and "Married to the Mob" and "Batman Returns" – Catwoman? Really?
- Precious (Mo'nique)
- Higher Learning (Ice Cube, Lawrence Fishbourne)
- Dead Poet's Society (Robin Williams)
- School Ties (Brendan Fraser, Matt Damon)
- American History X (Edward Norton)
- Crash (Matt Dillon, Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle)
- Radio (Cuba Gooding, Jr)
- Rudy (Sean Astin – nephew of Alexander Astin – the guy who created the Social Change Model)
- Pay it Forward (Kevin Spacey)
So – here's my challenge for you. Pick a movie you haven't seen from the above list. Watch it. Then write about it. Email it to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I will post it on here for a review. Even if you HATE it. Explain why you hate it. Please?
If you don't like that challenge? Add a movie of your own on the comments below. Maybe I will watch it (if I haven't seen it) and do a review.
That's all for now. We are heading into the trench run of closing. "Look at the size of that thing" I am thinking as we enter into our last two days. Fortunately, I have a wise Obi Wan Kenobi telling me – use the force. Let go, Luke. While at the same time I have a Han Solo telling me – "Let's blow this thing and go home, kid!" Next week, I'll present you list number 2 – "Cheesy/Comedic Res Life movies." We have a tradition here at Fresno State that I will share next week once we destroy the death star of closing.
Until then…may the force be with you…always.

Not sure how much they will cost...and there are only 100 bottles available each month, but it might be interesting...
they are in 50ml bottles so maybe if one person signs up they could decant it into ten decants of 5ml and split it among 10 members
Chandler Burr the curator of The Department of Olfactory Art at New
York's Museum of Arts and Design, the scent editor for GQ magazine and
the former scent critic for The New York Times, is creating a project on OpenSky
that's never been done before. He's bringing scent to life online. It's
called the Untitled Series.
On the 1st of every month Chandler will choose a perfume that's already on the market – some famous and
some from niche collections. From this scent, he will remove all marketing --
no bottle, no package, no brand, no name and will put the scent in a 50ml lab
bottle – allowing you to experience these scent works as scent and nothing else. He will give shoppers only the guidance of his
carefully chosen words to understand each and determine if the fragrance is
right for them. His goal is to both enable and encourage shoppers to rethink
perfume as a work of art, free from all visual cues and marketing techniques.
Scents include those from the late 19th century to last week, in all styles and all by the greatest
scent artists in the world.
There will be only 100 bottles available in the series, this month (the amount might
slightly vary from month to month). The first fragrance called S01E01
(Season One Episode One)and will launch this Friday, June 1st on OpenSky and the identity of the scent as well as more about
the artist who created it will be revealed to shoppers on the last day of June.
The series will continue with a new launch on the first of every month and a
subsequent reveal on the last day of each month.

Hiawatha's Fasting Part 1 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
You shall hear how Hiawatha Prayed and fasted in the forest, Not for greater skill in hunting, Not for greater craft in fishing, Not for triumphs in the battle, And renown among the warriors, But for profit of the people, For advantage of the nations.First he built a lodge for fasting, Built a wigwam in the forest, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, In the blithe and pleasant Spring-time, In the Moon of Leaves he built it,And, with dreams and visions many, Seven whole days and nights he fasted.On the first day of his fasting Through the leafy woods he wandered; Saw the deer start from the thicket, Saw the rabbit in his burrow, Heard the pheasant, Bena, drumming, Heard the squirrel, Adjidaumo, Rattling in his hoard of acorns, Saw the pigeon, the Omeme, Building nests among the pinetrees, And in flocks the wild-goose, Wawa, Flying to the fen-lands northward, Whirring, wailing far above him. 'Master of Life!' he cried, desponding, 'Must our lives depend on these things?'On the next day of his fasting By the river's brink he wandered, Through the Muskoday, the meadow, Saw the wild rice, Mahnomonee, Saw the blueberry, Meenahga, And the strawberry, Odahmin, And the gooseberry, Shahbomin, And the grape.vine, the Bemahgut, Trailing o'er the alder-branches, Filling all the air with fragrance! 'Master of Life!' he cried, desponding, 'Must our lives depend on these things?'On the third day of his fasting By the lake he sat and pondered, By the still, transparent water; Saw the sturgeon, Nahma, leaping, Scattering drops like beads of wampum, Saw the yellow perch, the Sahwa, Like a sunbeam in the water, Saw the pike, the Maskenozha, And the herring, Okahahwis, And the Shawgashee, the crawfish!'Master of Life!' he cried, desponding, 'Must our lives depend on these things?'On the fourth day of his fasting In his lodge he lay exhausted; From his couch of leaves and branches Gazing with half-open eyelids, Full of shadowy dreams and visions, On the dizzy, swimming landscape, On the gleaming of the water, On the splendor of the sunset.And he saw a youth approaching, Dressed in garments green and yellow, Coming through the purple twilight, Through the splendor of the sunset; Plumes of green bent o'er his forehead, And his hair was soft and golden.Standing at the open doorway, Long he looked at Hiawatha, Looked with pity and compassion On his wasted form and features, And, in accents like the sighing Of the South-Wind in the tree-tops, Said he, 'O my Hiawatha! All your prayers are heard in heaven, For you pray not like the others; Not for greater skill in hunting, Not for greater craft in fishing, Not for triumph in the battle, Nor renown among the warriors, But for profit of the people, For advantage of the nations.'From the Master of Life descending, I, the friend of man, Mondamin, Come to warn you and instruct you, How by struggle and by labor You shall gain what you have prayed for. Rise up from your bed of branches, Rise, O youth, and wrestle with me!'Faint with famine, Hiawatha Started from his bed of branches, From the twilight of his wigwam Forth into the flush of sunset Came, and wrestled with Mondamin; At his touch he felt new courage Throbbing in his brain and bosom, Felt new life and hope and vigor Run through every nerve and fibre.So they wrestled there together In the glory of the sunset, And the more they strove and struggled, Stronger still grew Hiawatha; Till the darkness fell around them, And the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah, From her nest among the pine-trees, Gave a cry of lamentation, Gave a scream of pain and famine.'T Is enough!' then said Mondamin, Smiling upon Hiawatha,'But tomorrow, when the sun sets, I will come again to try you.' And he vanished, and was seen not; Whether sinking as the rain sinks, Whether rising as the mists rise, Hiawatha saw not, knew not, Only saw that he had vanished, Leaving him alone and fainting, With the misty lake below him, And the reeling stars above him.On the morrow and the next day, When the sun through heaven descending, Like a red and burning cinder From the hearth of the Great Spirit, Fell into the western waters, Came Mondamin for the trial, For the strife with Hiawatha; Came as silent as the dew comes,From the empty air appearing, Into empty air returning, Taking shape when earth it touches, But invisible to all menIn its coming and its going.Thrice they wrestled there together In the glory of the sunset, Till the darkness fell around them, Till the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah, From her nest among the pine-trees, Uttered her loud cry of famine, And Mondamin paused to listen.Tall and beautiful he stood there, In his garments green and yellow; To and fro his plumes above him, Waved and nodded with his breathing, And the sweat of the encounter Stood like drops of dew upon him.And he cried, 'O Hiawatha! Bravely have you wrestled with me, Thrice have wrestled stoutly with me, And the Master of Life, who sees us, He will give to you the triumph!'Then he smiled, and said: 'To-morrow Is the last day of your conflict,Is the last day of your fasting. You will conquer and o'ercome me; Make a bed for me to lie in, Where the rain may fall upon me, Where the sun may come and warm me; Strip these garments, green and yellow, Strip this nodding plumage from me, Lay me in the earth, and make it Soft and loose and light above me.'Let no hand disturb my slumber, Let no weed nor worm molest me, Let not Kahgahgee, the raven, Come to haunt me and molest me,Only come yourself to watch me, Till I wake, and start, and quicken, Till I leap into the sunshine'And thus saying, he departed; Peacefully slept Hiawatha, But he heard the Wawonaissa, Heard the whippoorwill complaining, Perched upon his lonely wigwam; Heard the rushing Sebowisha, Heard the rivulet rippling near him, Talking to the darksome forest; Heard the sighing of the branches,As they lifted and subsided At the passing of the night-wind, Heard them, as one hears in slumber Far-off murmurs, dreamy whispers: Peacefully slept Hiawatha.On the morrow came Nokomis, On the seventh day of his fasting, Came with food for Hiawatha, Came imploring and bewailing, Lest his hunger should o'ercome him, Lest his fasting should be fatal.But he tasted not, and touched not, Only said to her, 'Nokomis, Wait until the sun is setting, Till the darkness falls around us, Till the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah, Crying from the desolate marshes, Tells us that the day is ended.'Homeward weeping went Nokomis, Sorrowing for her Hiawatha, Fearing lest his strength should fail him, Lest his fasting should be fatal. He meanwhile sat weary waiting For the coming of Mondamin, Till the shadows, pointing eastward, Lengthened over field and forest,Till the sun dropped from the heaven,Floating on the waters westward,As a red leaf in the AutumnFalls and floats upon the water,Falls and sinks into its bosom.And behold! the young Mondamin,With his soft and shining tresses,With his garments green and yellow,With his long and glossy plumage,Stood and beckoned at the doorway.And as one in slumber walking,Pale and haggard, but undaunted,From the wigwam HiawathaCame and wrestled with Mondamin.Round about him spun the landscape,Sky and forest reeled together,And his strong heart leaped within him,As the sturgeon leaps and strugglesIn a net to break its meshes.Like a ring of fire around himBlazed and flared the red horizon,And a hundred suns seemed lookingAt the combat of the wrestlers.Suddenly upon the greenswardAll alone stood Hiawatha,Panting with his wild exertion,Palpitating with the struggle;And before him breathless, lifeless,Lay the youth, with hair dishevelled,Plumage torn, and garments tattered,Dead he lay there in the sunset.And victorious HiawathaMade the grave as he commanded,Stripped the garments from Mondamin,Stripped his tattered plumage from him,Laid him in the earth, and made itSoft and loose and light above him;And the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah,From the melancholy moorlands, Gave a cry of lamentation, Gave a cry of pain and anguish!Homeward then went Hiawatha To the lodge of old Nokomis, And the seven days of his fasting Were accomplished and completed. But the place was not forgotten Where he wrestled with Mondamin; Nor forgotten nor neglected Was the grave where lay Mondamin, Sleeping in the rain and sunshine, Where his scattered plumes and garments Faded in the rain and sunshine.Day by day did Hiawatha Go to wait and watch beside it;Kept the dark mould soft above it, Kept it clean from weeds and insects, Drove away, with scoffs and shoutings, Kahgahgee, the king of ravens.Till at length a small green feather From the earth shot slowly upward, Then another and another, And before the Summer ended Stood the maize in all its beauty, With its shining robes about it, And its long, soft, yellow tresses; And in rapture Hiawatha Cried aloud, 'It is Mondamin! Yes, the friend of man, Mondamin!'Then he called to old Nokomis And Iagoo, the great boaster, Showed them where the maize was growing, Told them of his wondrous vision, Of his wrestling and his triumph, Of this new gift to the nations, Which should be their food forever.And still later, when the Autumn Changed the long, green leaves to yellow, And the soft and juicy kernels Grew like wampum hard and yellow, Then the ripened ears he gathered, Stripped the withered husks from off them, As he once had stripped the wrestler, Gave the first Feast of Mondamin, And made known unto the people This new gift of the Great Spirit. <-- Previous | Next -->

Days may be numbered here for aggressive panhandlers and for those with signs and hard-luck messages asking motorists for money.
On Monday, Interim Police Chief Steve O'Konek will ask the City Council's Public Safety Committee to consider a new city ordinance that would ban certain attempts at "aggressive solicitation" in the city, including requests for cash from motorists and at intersections and on-and-off ramps.
Committee approval would send the measure on for consideration by the full council, which tabled a similar ordinance three years ago because it did not include exceptions for "worthy causes."
On Friday, O'Konek said he is asking the City Council to revisit the matter in response to citizen complaints.
"We've been hearing complaints from the public about people who are panhandling or approaching people at ATMs or outside of businesses and hassling them all the way to their cars," the chief said. "… It literally makes people feel uncomfortable."
A person opening a wallet to give money to a panhandler can end up being a robbery victim, O'Konek said.
The chief said the proposed new ordinance borrows heavily from the ordinance that the City Council passed in the first of three readings before tabling it back in 2009.
The city also has reviewed anti-panhandling ordinances from eight to 10 other similar-sized cities, in particular, to see how those ordinances address worthy solicitations. One such annual event in Cedar Rapids is the "Fill-the-Boot" campaign conducted at city intersections by Cedar Rapids firefighters for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The new proposed Cedar Rapids ordinance limiting solicitations would make it illegal to solicit money at or near banks and automated teller machines and on public transportation and at bus stops or in bus terminals.
The proposed law also prohibits asking for money in an "aggressive" manner, which is defined as conduct likely to cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety. Under the proposed ordinance, such aggressive behavior can include touching, impeding or following a person or standing within five feet of a person who has declined a request for money.
Solicitations also could not be made to someone operating a motor vehicle in traffic on a public street or from a road median, road shoulder, intersection controlled by traffic signals or a highway on-ramp or off-ramp. Solicitations also would be banned on private property if the owner, tenant or lawful occupant has asked the person not to solicit or has posted a sign stating that solicitations are not welcome.
Violators of the aggressive solicitation ordinance would be guilty of a misdemeanor.
The change in the proposed ordinance from the 2009 version provides exceptions for charities, church groups, students soliciting for school programs, nationally recognized youth organizations such as the YMCA and others approved by the City Council.
City Council member Kris Gulick, a member of the council's Public Safety Committee, on Friday said he also receives complaints from citizens about panhandlers, most of which center on people who hold up signs at on-and-off ramps. The 2009 version of the city ordinance needed some refinements, he said, adding that he will look to see what is new in the proposed ordinance.
"I think it's a fine line. You have to watch so you don't get some unintended consequences," Gulick said.
The current wording of the proposed solicitation ordinance also addresses the issue of constitutional rights. According to the proposal, "the law is not intended to limit any persons from exercising their constitutional right to solicit funds, picket, protest or engage in other constitutionally protected activity. Rather, its goal is to place certain limitations on the means by which such activity occurs in order to protect public safety."

Darjeeling, Aug. 20: The Gorkha Janmukti Vidyarthi Morcha today set a 20-day deadline for all advertisers in the hills to write hoardings in Nepali, failing which it would pull down the billboards.
The student wing of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha also demanded that question papers for various state job exams be written in Nepali, apart from English and Bengali.
The demands were made on the 20th anniversary of the Nepali/Gorkha language being included in the Eight Schedule of the Constitution in 1992. Amrti Yonzone, the president of the Vidyarthi Morcha, said: "On the occasion of bhasha manyata diwas, we would like to request all advertisers who have put up hoardings in languages not understood by the hill people to have their content written in Nepali also. We are not against the content being written in other languages. But we want the local language to feature in the billboards."
Many billboards in the hills are written in Bengali and that might be the reason for the outfit to raise the demand for the Nepali content. "We have set a 20-day deadline for the inclusion of Nepali language in the billboards, failing which we will be forced to bring them down," said Yonzone.

If you're someone who thinks arts and crafts are just for Girl Scouts, the Washington Craft Show might change your mind. Celebrating its 25th year, the three-day fair takes place this weekend at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. It will draw nearly 200 artists from 38 states, all toting trunks of crafts from colossal glass sculptures to fine handmade jewelry.
"I'll never forget the first time I walked into one of these shows," said spokesman Bill Underwood. "I thought we were in for Popsicle sticks and macramé baskets, but I was seriously blown away. There was exquisite work everywhere. It's very sophisticated."

BRATTLEBORO -- Ethan Reichsman wants to study Arabic language specifically because he thinks it is important for more Americans to understand Middle Eastern culture.
When he applied for the National Security Language Initiative for Youth through the U.S. State Department his first choice was spending a semester in Morocco learning the language.
Reichsman, 16, and a junior at Brattleboro Union High School, was admitted to the program and he was supposed to fly to Washington, D.C., this past Saturday to take part in a three-day orientation before heading on to Marrakech, Morocco.
Late Friday, after returning from a final dinner out with his family, Reichsman received an emergency notification from the State Department informing him that the program was being postponed while program officials assess the deteriorating situation in the Arab world.
Now he and his family are keeping a close watch on the anti-American protests that are spreading across the region as they wait for word when, and if, he will be going to the Middle East this semester.
"It's disappointing because I was packed and ready to go," he said Monday. "But I guess it makes sense while they figure out what is going on. I'm still hopeful I'll be able to travel."
The National Security Language Initiative for Youth is a special program that the State Department established to bring American students to study languages in "critical need"
Scholarships are offered to study languages in countries such as Russia, China, Korea and Turkey.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in Libya on Sept. 12 after protests broke out in response to an American video that critics say disrespects the prophet Mohammed. Over the next few days additional protests broke out in Egypt, Yemen and other countries in the region.
Reichsman said he didn't think the unrest would affect his plans until the e-mail message arrived on Friday night.
Small, peaceful protests were held in Morocco's largest city, Casablanca, and then in Marrakech, which Reichsman expected to visit next week.
Now he is waiting to find out what will happen to his plans.
Reichsman is not enrolled at BUHS because he was expecting to spend the semester overseas.
Now he is waiting to hear about his next step.
The International Herald Tribune reported Saturday that Morocco is emerging as one of the most stable and important countries in North Africa.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the report, said Morocco was a "leader and a model."
Reichsman said the protests are unnerving, but he also said it shows the importance of sending young Americans there to build stronger bonds with the people in the Middle East.
He has already attended two other Arabic programs in the United States, and now he is waiting, and hoping that his planned journey to the region will not be postponed.
He is expecting to hear from the State Department at the end of this week.
"This whole situation shows how important it is to have Americans who know about Islamic culture," he said. "If there are more people in America who know about it, maybe things like this won't happen, or they will happen less. It only takes a couple of ignorant people to set off things like this in the Mid East."

Oklahoma State Senator Josh Brecheen and Commissioners of Land (CLO) Secretary Dr. Harry Birdwell held a public meeting Thurday afternoon to discuss the ongoing Pointe Vista Development project.
The meeting was held at 1:30 p.m. at the Kingston Multipurpose Facility. The meeting was originally set for July but had been pushed until September in order to provide more information to the public.
Eight years ago the state sold approximately 750 acres to a private development firm with the agreement that they must build a resort equal to or greater in value than the park that was already in place.
Birdwell said that both he and Governor Mary Fallin have been reminding the developers of their contractual obligations.
Fallin has also been giving the developers ideas on where to find financial assistance for the project, according to Birdwell.
Birdwell said he believes the largest setback in the project was caused by the economic downturn at the time the project began.
He said that in 2008, lenders were not willing to lend to resort developers. He also gave examples of others who had similar issues at that time.
Birdwell said he feels there has been progress in the market over the last six months, and that since the developers have invested more than $40 million, he believes they will complete this project as planned.
Birdwell said that the CLO wants to not only enforce the contract but help the developers succeed.
"All of us are better off if they succeed" said Birdwell.
While Birdwell said that the developers realize project is behind schedule, as of today they are in accordance with the contract.
The contract stipulates that Pointe Vista Development had to begin the project within two years of the closing of the land. The developers began the project when the lodge was torn down.
The contract also stipulates that the hotel promised has to be substantially complete by May 2014. To be substantially complete means the hotel has to be able to serve the public.
While developers were not able to begin work on the hotel 18 months ago as planned, Birdwell said they do have the resources and credit to get the project complete on time.
Because the developers are still in accordance with the contract, there have been no penalties brought against them.
Birdwell said that if the plans are not complete on time "there are specific remedies within the contract."
The main investors of the project remain Mark Fischer and his son Scott Fischer, as well as power company executive Aubrey McClendon.
Although rumors had arisen that McClendon wanted out, Birdwell insisted that there was no information saying he was bowing out at this point.
Another update meeting is being planned for after the winter months at which time Brecheen and Birdwell hope to have more information on the progress being made on the project.

The Swedish Farmers co-operation's project for transport administration was awarded with "The years most sustainable IT-project" in 2008. The solution is built upon FältCom's communication platform FältCom MIIPS®.
The Swedish Farmers co-operation had a need to improve handling of goods and transports with the goal to increase profitability and decrease CO2 emissions. The solution became the Swedish Farmers co-operation TA-system. A system that handles the material flows of the whole group, resulting in more efficient logistics and simplified control, planning and follow-up.
By using the FältCom MIIPS® communication platform several systems could be integrated to one system that communicated with the business systems in the group and the systems used by the road carriers and forwarders. The unique point of the solution was that it was possible to use the best functions of a number of systems and make them work together to create a whole.
The solution was at the end of 2008 awarded with "The years most sustainable IT-project" at the CIO Awards in Sweden.
The system has resulted in more efficient logistics for storage and distribution with less manual processes. All reporting is digital from chauffeur to road carrier. No paper documents or letters are used. All delivery notes are for example sent via SMS. Route optimization and utilization of backhauls have decreased the distances, lowered petrol consumption and increased road safety. Joint transports with other customers have created external transport flows which have meant additional revenue.
Customer benefits are shorter lead times, improved delivery precision and faster information without higher costs. Other benefits are that the road carriers have lowered petrol consumption and maintenance costs. The chauffeur has enjoyed an improved working environment. CO2 emissions have been lowered and the Swedish Farmers co-operation has received quality transports at lower cost.

My Points | |
My Games |
does the decks in the game work like typical card games? drawing 5-7 cards out of a 40+ card deck, with most of the cards being different?
Marvel Heroes is high on my list of FFG games
Page 1 of 1 (3 messages) | 1 |
Which decks? You mean the combat card decks? The number of cards you draw for a single battle (you draw new cards for each battle and discard cards that you did not use afterwards) depends on the combat strength of your units which take part in that battle. It can be as low as one or as high as ten or sometimes even more (total combat strength divided by 2, rounded up). Heroes make you draw 2 (at least one unwounded hero present) or 1 (only wounded heroes present) additional hero combat cards (special deck).
The combat card deck has 32 cards, the hero combat card deck 8. Each player has his own two decks. That means that the cards are recycled often as the decks quickly run out of cards and are reshuffled.
As for the card types: Chaos combat card deck: 7 unique cards, 5 with two copies each, 3 with three copies each, 1 with six copies. Imperial combat card deck: 6 unique cards, 5 with two copies each, 2 with three copies each, 1 with four copies each, 1 with six copies.
The order card decks usually don't get depleted in a game, thus no reshuffling. They have many unique cards and some who are included twice in each deck.
Fear is the mind-killer.
thanks for the info. my brother wanted me to find out. he can't stand games that are luck of the card draw.
Marvel Heroes is high on my list of FFG games
I forgot to mention: Each player has a number of recyclable order cards in the starting hand so that luck of the draw doesn't rob the players of the most basic order options.
Fear is the mind-killer.

I never use my Redvolt batteries until now because I am using the good old Red bricks. But I would like to know from your experience how long the four of them last. As the first one goes away automatically during the shooting changes to the next?? In this case can you unplug the empty one and start charging it?? How long it takes to fully ( whatever fully means) to be charged. Thanks in advance for the information you may share them with me.
I have 6 Redvolts and with either a travel charger or the Quad charger I cannot charge the Batteries to over 90%. I have only used the batteries about 5 times each. This makes me think the chargers do not give the batteries a full charge.
In the same boat. Have a 4 pack, none charge past 80% or so.
I'm sorry, so is there a proper procedure for charging RVs to prevent this? At <80% or whatever, are they still lasting 25minutes-30minutes? Is it just a cosmetic/superficial problem, or are they actually not lasting as long (15-20mins instead of 25-30)?
Last edited by Mike P.; 08-07-2012 at 10:49 AM.
Same problem here. None of my Redvolts charge past 80% or so.
I would very much appreciate it if someone, answers my questions. Anybody PLEASE!!!! THANKS
Hey Nicos, all of the information you requested is clearly covered in the various pdfs/manuals online for the camera/REDvolts.
For the sake of brevity I'll answer you, but it's worthwhile to check that stuff out (especially before you buy/rent the stuff). Each redvolt is supposed to last 25-30mins. They are hot swappable, so if you're using a quad or dual battery module, when one does, you can put it on a charger and replace it with a fresh one without turning off the camera. Four RVs would last ~2hours. Each RV takes 1.5-2 hours to charge fully. This means realistically you'd need 8-9 RVs for continuous shooting (assuming you can charge four batteries simultaneously).
Technically you could get away with only 6 RVs, but you'd be swapping dead batteries with fresh ones constantly every 25-30mins all day, and if you miss a swap you'll probably have a bit of down time... so best bet is to have nine (one for the side handle) and a quad-charger. Kill four batteries in two hours, put them on the charger, swap with the 4 fresh ones (which will take 2 hours to kill, in which time the 4 dead RVs you have charging will be full again and you can swap.) That's the way I would do it, anyway. Conversely, with the dual battery module, you could do the same thing with 6-7 RVs (again, one for the side handle), but then you'd be swapping batteries every hour.
When i used my Redvolts the percentage on camera would only show average 82% at full charge, however they would consistently last about the 25-30min expected times per battery so I paid no mind to the percentage not being at 100%
Hi Mike,
I do appreciate your very detailed mail. I am sorry but I didn't know that I could find all the information on Pdf. I will try to locate them. Sometime you find yourself lost in simple things and your mind (I mean mine) stops. That's where friends come and unblock you. Thanks again for your help.
