Especially the end bit.
I'm a sucker for frozen flame ineffable. Like lemon pie it is.
And planning. Here's to planning.

@Romeo: Mind the sword on your way down, down into deeper blue. It's a doozy.
Hi Peter,
You can tag yer poesy round here anytime...
truly choice it is.
I've been reading your opus lately...
... me like.
Pax bro.
Monsieur Le Mage,
Good to hear from you.
Lately I have been entrenched in a special project: an attempt at a comprehensive taxonomy of 'The Shining'.
It is probably the most stupid and nihilistic process I have undertaken, details become pointless... I am in a kind of fog.
Without a working PC for a while, I have neglected 'The Mill' but I am glad to be reminded. I will task myself to get at it. I need a serious change of pace.
I have just started working up an article on 'The Road', 'District 9', 'Titanic' 'Avatar' and 'Inglourious Basterds'.
Coming soon to Les Pantages de Perdue. C'est ici.
Peace, Master.
Arty, where did you get my opus? I haven't found the f*cker yet myself, although I do intend to polish off Pest Control (the novel#1) and properly integrate its many disparate parts this year (if the pills work better than staying wasted - otherwise, well, heavy weather washes away all the prose and leaves the poetry pitifully sticking out of the flow, broken twigs and bloated fur-mats blasted by cold mud and brown waer and flies...wait, what the fuck is that*changes channel*screen goes black, burnt smell*
*flash*clear, then pixellates and turns neon colours a la the Calculus colorizing televisor in Herge's Castafiore Emeralds
Ah! Back in E-space ahggainnnn.
pomes here if you like them. Some early live readings too - no practice like the merciless witch-melting glare of the public practice.
Love and bubbles,
@Arty again: I like The Shining (book, not movie). Quite a lot.
And I guess I could stick all The Singles 2010 together into a book and call it an opus (or call each little gem or carbuncle an opus unto itself, accurate enough if petty), but so far that's not how the book process works for me. It seems to actually involve becoming manic and hallucinating occasionally for three months, culminating in hundreds of carefully (very, very carefully) formatted sheets laid out on the largest empty space available, followed by a process resembling a mutant cross between the Nabob coffee-bean-selecting ruler man and some crazy bum who's into automatic writing and raves about numbers. Available soon at bookstores...well, no, it probably will never leave the house. Strapped into its high chair with chains 'til it's twelve, if I have any sense.
That's the poetry. Prose just seems to take a fuckload of work. They both seem to be a kind of scrying, and are costly in terms of brain juices, but the poems form from pure words and must be captured, quickly, whereas the prose must be seen, dimly or sharply, and remembered quickly and rendered into words using the poetic process.
My head hurts now, but I'm going to be up for hours. Wheee!
Can't wait to see what the pills are like.
ps thx again for the pattings - you'll end up with me whining outside your window at dinner and giving big eyes, watch out
By yer 'opus' I mean that I have visited Old 333 already (and will again).
Been following for about a week now.
You give poetry a good name.
That really was a good poe. Enjoyed it again. The second time, in the morning, is alway the best.
That's a hanunting twinkle you kindled there, Mr Tinderfluke.
Melodic & time-sweeping.

Proving your age is an asset in a job search
Worried that age might be a strike against you when applying for a job? Present yourself the right way and experts agree that you can turn that potential negative into one of your selling points.
"The key for older job seekers is to embrace rather than hide from what they have to offer future employers," says Tamryn Hennessy, national director of career development for Rasmussen College. "A lifetime of a variety of employments, household and family obligations and volunteer accomplishments can be assembled into a résumé and interview that a younger job seeker simply cannot offer."
So get set to put your experience to good use by doing these three things:
1. Concentrate on the job
If you spend your time demonstrating how you are the right candidate for the position, age need not even enter into the equation. "Never be defensive about your age or even focus on it at all," states Martha Finney, a Santa Fe-based employee engagement and career management consultant and co-author of "Unlock the Hidden Job Market." "Focus on who you are and how what you bring to the table would meet the company's strategic objectives."
Hennessy suggests highlighting your suitability right from the start by looking at the key action words from the job description (such as "analyze," "design," "inspect," etc.) and matching them to your history. "Focus on your past experiences -- including non-industry, volunteer and family obligations -- where you have demonstrated accomplishments under these action word categories. Use the exact same action word and apply it to your experience, always being sure to offer quantifiable results."
2. Have confidence in your past
Lavie Margolin, author of "Lion Cub Job Search: Practical Job Search Assistance for Practical Job Seekers," advises older job seekers to get in the mindset that age is a strength. "As opposed to a recent college graduate filled only with potential, the mature worker can demonstrate a track record of accomplishment throughout his career."
Let your years of real-life experience shine by presenting evidence of qualities employers value. These may include:
- The ability to meet deadlines
- Loyalty to a company, industry or cause
- Flexibility and adaptability
- Problem-solving skills
- A strong work ethic
- Leadership
- Teamwork
To generate ideas, look at past performance reviews. Not only will this help provide concrete examples, but select words of praise can be incorporated into your application or interview to add credibility (as in, "My direct supervisor at company X noted in my evaluation that my thorough research on our three main competitors was instrumental to selecting the launch date of our newest product.").
3. Having equal confidence in your future
If worries over new methods or technologies are putting a dent in your confidence, take a class or two to get up to speed. Since one of the greatest fears about hiring older workers is that they are too set in their ways and unwilling to learn new things, this action also can show employers your enthusiasm for continual growth.
By law, age should not be a consideration for employment, yet many job seekers receive subtle (and not so subtle) clues that it may be an issue. If concerns about age do come up, try to tactfully redirect the conversation back to your abilities. Another tactic is to show that you are comfortable and happy with where you are. "Stress the great stage of life you are entering, one with fewer family distractions that will allow you to be the most reliable and dedicated employee possible," Hennessy suggests. Also worth pointing out: "Younger workers may have less understanding of what they want to do exactly in their career," Margolin notes. "An older worker has a better understanding of his interests and how they fit best into the market."
Watch, too, that you aren't blaming age when there is actually a different problem. "Don't assume you're increasing your chances of landing a job by applying for jobs that are beneath your experience level," Finney notes. "Overqualified for the position' isn't always code for 'too old.' Hiring managers wisely want candidates who are appropriate for the job level, so if you're experiencing a long string of application rejections, don't lower your sights, raise them. Only go after jobs that appropriate for your skill sets and experiences."
Finally, remember that employers want to hire likeable people who fit into company culture and can do their job. Treating interviewers as friendly equals and relating to them with relaxed confidence never goes out of style.

Arrest in disappearance
St. Landry man held
By RICHARD BURGESS
and Jason Brown
Acadiana bureau
July 07, 2012
LAFAYETTE — A St. Landry Parish man was booked Thursday on first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping counts in the May 19 disappearance of 22-year-old Mickey Shunick, police said.
Brandon Scott Lavergne, 33, a registered sex offender, was booked at 5:45 p.m. Thursday while detectives searched his mobile home near Lawtell in rural St. Landry Parish.
Lafayette police confirmed Lavergne's arrest was in connection with the Shunick case, but declined to discuss any further details until a news conference scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said his office assisted Lafayette police in the search of Lavergne's home at 143 Elaine Lane near Lawtell.
"We are looking for physical evidence related to the Mickey Shunick case," Guidroz said.
The sheriff said investigators arrived at the mobile home about 2 p.m. and were expected to remain on site at least until 11 p.m. He declined to discuss what evidence might have been found.
Detectives were seen carrying three large bags off the site about 8:22 p.m. and placing them in the back of an SUV.
Lavergne was required to register as a sex offender following a conviction in 2000 on an aggravated oral sexual battery charge, according to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office sex offender registry.
He was accused of tying, blindfolding and sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman while he was stationed as a soldier at Fort Polk, according to a news story that was published in The Advocate at the time.
One of Lavergne's neighbors, Shirley Busby, said Thursday that she knew little about the man.
"He keeps to himself," she said. "I see him just on the weekend."
Lavergne was being held without bond.
Detectives seized Lavergne's cellphone during the arrest, according to booking records.
Shunick was last seen about 2 a.m. May 19, leaving a friend's house near downtown on her bicycle, riding toward her parents' home about five miles away.
She never made it.
The disappearance of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette student led to a groundswell of community support, prompting large, volunteer-driven search efforts and an outpouring of donations.
On the police front, the search for the young woman led to one of the most extensive investigative efforts in the history of the Police Department, Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft has said.
The only major break that has been made public in the case is when fishermen found Shunick's black Schwinn bicycle in the Whiskey Bay area on May 27.
The bicycle was submerged in water next to the bank and the rear tire was damaged.
Police confirmed last week that the lead investigator had received some information from the State Police Crime Lab regarding the bicycle.
The Police Department created a mini task force of officers from area law enforcement agencies to dig into the case, and the group has met twice daily to discuss leads and evaluate evidence in the case.
Police had manned a 24-hour tip line, which generated 1,000 tips early on, but the department stopped manning the phone line around the clock after tips slacked off in early June.
Attempts to reach the Shunick family on Thursday evening were unsuccessful.

Winnetka family hosts Hands of Peace picnic
Hands of Peace picnic 2012. | Contributed photo
Updated: August 27, 2012 6:10AM
WINNETKA — The fourth annual picnic for Hands of Peace, hosted by Irene and Tom Smith of Winnetka, was held on Wednesday night, July 11, at Elder Park in Winnetka. Hands of Peace is an interfaith program bringing together Palestinian, Israeli, and American teens for dialogue and friendship. The 42 participants arrived on July 4 and will return to their homes on July 19. They are hosted by north shore families.
The Smiths and their friends provided an all-American style picnic with plenty of food, music, and a lively game of softball, which is something new for most of the teens. Music was provided by "The Men from Uncle," a versatile cover band, plus Ken Guy from Winnetka, Bud Nichols from Glenview, and rising star Ava Suppelsa, a junior at Evanston Township High School.
New Trier head baseball coach Mike Napoleon and three of his student leaders plus Victor Cooper, kinetic wellness teacher at Washburne School in Winnetka led the visitors in a softball game which was notable more for good laughs than good plays.
Everyone got a chance to bat in a sport which is not known in the Middle East.
A highlight of the event was the singing of the Hands of Peace anthem. Its words include, "We are people from different nations, but now we're learning how to live… as one!" For more information about Hands of Peace, please go to www.handsofpeace.org.

Did you know?
Moulds are fungi that grow in damp environments, and allergic people who come into contact with them can experience reactions and respiratory problems.
Since moisture promotes mould growth, dampness is one of the most common causes of poor indoor air in homes, classrooms and public spaces. Controlling the level of moisture is one of the best and easiest ways to improve indoor air and protect your health.
- Biological pollutants are living organisms like mould, bacteria and dust mites.
- Chemical pollutants are gases and particles that come from combustion appliances, tobacco smoke, household and personal care products, various building materials and outdoor air.
A lack of ventilation, especially in air-tight buildings, is a key factor that impacts the quality of indoor air.

Start tracking your diet and see exactly how much protein is in everything you eat. The main portion of your protein should come from real whole foods. However, if you are having a hard time getting that much in, I'd reccomend picking up a good protein mix. Either Whey or Micellar Cassein based proteins are a sure bet.
My two favorite proteins are Optimum Nutrition's Pro Complex in chocolate:
And Dorian Yates Approves Pro Peptides:
The first is a whey and egg albumen based protein, the second micellar cassien which is a dairy based protein. It digests much slower so it is a great shake to take right before going to bed. That's a great site to order from also, been ordering from them for the last few years. Great guys.
If you aren't interested in supplementing with a protein shake, meat meat meat. Make sure you have some form of protein with every meal. Chicken breasts and canned tuna are the staples of building muscle.
I'm 6'3" 205 so I know where you are coming from.
Yup, great product, great price. I kinda burned myself out on the flavor though so I'm sticking to the DYA for a while.
Yea, I used to get crazy with the blender every once in a while. This was my favorite:
2 scoops of ON Chocolate
8 oz skim milk
1 large banana
1 generous scoop of plain oats
Light sprinkle of cinnamon
6 large ice cubes
Tasted real good and was loaded with good stuff. Other good things to add are peanut butter, flax seed oil, or flax seeds ground in a coffee grinder. Haven't tried any of those, but I know they are good for you.
And Hellfish, I have no idea. I just used to free version. It told me exactly what I needed to know about the contents of what I was eating. Personally, I didn't need to benefits of the full program.
Any advice on how to increase running and overall cardio capacity?
Best thing I've heard is interval training. Jog-sprint-jog-sprint sort of thing. I haven't done much of it personally (though I should) so you'd have to hit google for that.
I know a lot of guys use HEAT training (which I'm pretty sure is an acronym for something but google isn't helping), which is similar, but performed on a treadmills. Besides, I think the emphasis of that is on fat burning.

Beekeeping as a hobby has been growing in Central New York for a couple of years. Now the City of Utica is facing issues with mismanaged bees bothering beekeepers' neighbors. Our Andrew Sorensen takes a look at what one Common Council member is doing to solve the problem.
UTICA, N.Y. -- Common Council member Samantha Colosimo-Testa has seen issues make a buzz in the city, but this is a new one. "I received an e-mail from a resident on Riverside Drive complaining about a neighbor that had bees just swarming in the backyard and she has two little kids," she said.
Colosimo-Testa looked into the city's codes on beekeeping, but they didn't exist.
"Basically what I did is I put together a guideline on how you can keep bees in the city of Utica," she explained. The new regulations are aimed at making sure beekeepers take good care of their hives so the bees don't get out of control. "If they don't the bees will swarm, and that's what happens to some people, and it's kind of a natural thing," Mid-York Beekeeping instructor John Ferguson said at a class Tuesday.
Ferguson helps teach people how to beekeep responsibly.
He says the responsible beekeeping the proposal pushes for can be great for communities.Utica resident beekeeper Debra Richardson agrees that the heart of the new legislation is good. "There were actually some good really good things written in there as far as how a beekeeper should be responsible, such as the source of clean water, etcetera," she said.
But she and other beekeepers don't want to see it go too far.
"It does sort of run the risk for us beekeepers that any time somebody is stung by something and there's an allergic reaction, it might be, 'well now it's because now there are bees in the city,'" she said.
She points out that bees were already in the city, and that if beekeepers are responsible, it would prevent the problematic swarming without any legislation.
The councilwoman says if the bill goes through, it would stop out of control hives with fines for their owners.
The proposal is currently under review in Utica's codes committee to determine how such an ordinance could be enforced.

Photography and Time Past
In the late 1960s and early '70s, when I studied photography, few schools around the country had departments devoted to it, and courses in its history were rare. You learned that—if you learned it at all—from the photographers who taught you. At Pratt Institute (where I studied after my time at Carnegie Mellon University), my teachers taught the history of the medium fueled by their intense involvement with it, past and present, and their desire for photography to be accepted as art, a battle that had been ongoing from its inception.
During the 1970s, as art photographs became marketable commodities, the landscape changed: Schools all over the country invested in photography programs and it entered the art historical canon. Nonetheless, even today, questions about its validity as art exist. If painting defines art for you, then photography is bound to seem too commercial, too rooted in science, and too mechanical and easy to produce to wear that mantle. And photography does blur the boundaries between fine and applied art; museums have long collected commercial and scientific photographs by W. Eugene Smith, Irving Penn, and Karl Blossfeldt, alongside works by self-identified artists such as Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand.
Museums have also collected "vernacular" photographs, made by those who were not considered artists or high-end professionals. Perhaps the best-known vernacular photographer is Eugène Atget, beloved of the Surrealists and famous for his haunting images of Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In Pittsburgh, we have Charles "Teenie" Harris, who photographed from the 1930s to the '70s for the Pittsburgh Courier, an influential African American newspaper, and whose remarkable retrospective is currently on view at Carnegie Museum of Art. Harris seems not to have considered himself an artist. Like so many others, he was a guy who made a living with a camera.
There are various ways to judge the quality of a photograph: the richness of the print, the rendering of light, the way a subject is captured and composed. Ultimately, though, even in the most abstract work, technique is in the service of content. Over the more than 40 years of his career, Harris photographed his community in a way that is deeply moving, and tells us something about ourselves, the world out of which we come, and—most significant of all—the passage of time. (How could his work not be art? Does the label even matter?)
It's the business about time that affects me most. I was attracted to photography because of its relationship to history—the career I ultimately chose. It is well established today that photographs can lie, and, by isolating a single moment, they may always skew the truth, yet the medium has had a unique relationship to time past that for me remains extremely emotionally resonant.
Over the last decade, it's become so easy to take pictures that, in the commercial world, photography has become somewhat de-professionalized. (My daughter, a freelance writer, routinely takes pictures for her own stories.) What does it do to our sense of the real in photographs that anyone can seamlessly alter images—pictures that may never become prints that you can hold in your hands? What are we to think about the 8,000,000,000 images on the internet site Flickr? These are questions that will occupy us well into the future. They don't belong to Teenie's world, but he has significant things to tell us about what could be lost and gained as we move forward.
Until next month,

Basic question, is Ash still ten? and i'll have a CS up in a bit
At this point in time you are wondering what is going on in the Kanto region, well I'll tell you.
A few of the Kanto Gym leaders are stepping down and are in need of replacement, at a meeting held by the Champion, Ash Ketchum, all decided it was time to hold a contest, to find the 4 next best candidates at becoming the next gym leaders of specific gyms. Choosing 64 of the toughest participants, they are determined to find their next gym leaders.
The leaders and Ash are being hard on the Trainers for a reason, and the 64 who pass are then split up again, this time from 64 to 32 by another wave of tests. This time they're put into double teams and asked to battle on different terrain and take another test but it will be much harder and written rather than multiple choice. And finally they are into 8 teams of 4 people per team. Each team will consist of different people applying for different positions. The small teams are then taken out with a random leader. The leaders will be swapped every two weeks. The leaders will take their team around the region, battling and testing them.
The teams get a collective pass or no pass to help instill unity rather than rivalry among their group. Outside their small group, rivalries occur more than enough. In the group of 4, it's best to help one another and give advice and get to know another, as chances are that, if you work together, you can achieve your goal of becoming a Gym Leader.
When groups have been announced and divided. It is possible for one or two characters to already know each other. During the week of exams, Trainers have stayed on site in a building with apartments right outside the I.P. During the rest of their training, they may return to the I.P but for the most part, everything will be on foot and things will range from helping people around Kanto, to battling, to studying. It all depends on what leader is with your group.
Leaders will be played by me and if you would like control, just send a quick VM. The main points of this roleplay are to develop your character as a trainer and as a person. This roleplay will continue after the main plot line has been finished, Team Rocket has been on the rise and will make their attack right around when teams are formed. In fact, some of the Current Gym Leaders will try to tackle this sudden sighting of evil. It will all unveil itself as we go on.
Any questions can be answered here, so feel free to ask at any time.
You may submit as many CS's as you want within the the 8 types provided. I'd like to have something to pick from.
If I find that people need to edit, I will PM you personally.
I plan on starting the IC ASAP but will allow about 12 hours for any last minute editing.
I need 2 girl characters, and 1 boy character apart from my own.
RP Rules
- Post size must consist of 3+ paragraphs with at least 4+ sentences each. I can't stand a bunch of small 1 lined Paragraphs. I will allow 2 Paragraphs for light conversations, other than that, keep it to a High Casual.
- Post frequency needs to be at least every day, and do not post again until the others are done posting.
- What I say goes, if I think a Pokémon shouldn't have x-move then you have to take it off. If I think your team or your trainer is too strong, I will say so and look for a candidate to replace you if you don't change it. I want to be as fair as possible, and don't want any super over powered players.
PKM Rules
- No Honen/Sinnoh/Unova Pokémon.
- No Pokémon over level 40. With that being said, don't show me all level 39s. Please make the levels vary a bit.
- The types to choose from are: Rock, Water, Electric, Grass, Poison, Psychic, Fire and Ground. You may have 1-2 Pokémon with a double type as some are hard to find.
- Speaking of which, if I feel your choice in a Pokémon is unfair like Kabuto, I will ask you to find another. The same goes for your moves. TMs will be allowed in moderation. Some moves like Surf and Fly can work without using a slot.
- Nicknames are fine as long as you are clear about who is who when posting. It's just annoying to keep looking back on a CS for help.
- Pokémon you should avoid are legendaries, rare Pokémon or extinct ones, and ditto.
- Any other Qs regarding PKM can be asked here.
CS Rules
- Characters may not know/be related to a leader or notable canon character.
- Characters must be from ages 21-31. I'm looking for one male and two females preferred.
- Characters must not be too cliche. They can happen and likely will but don't make up something that's gonna make your character cause story progression to halt.
- Characters must be from Kanto but are allowed Pokémon and badges from Johto
- Characters can have badges, but do not need them. They should have maybe no more than 4.
General Setting and Contests Explained
As a Trainer, you will travel from your hometown or wherever you are, to the Indigo Plateau. Travel by foot or air, as long as you get there by the time I wish to start. The Preliminary Exams will take arrow down all mass of Trainers down to 64. To apply for the Gym Leader Contest, Trainers had to fill out this Form:
Once Trainers had filled it out, they would be given an invitation to come to the Indigo Plateau. Once there, they would be given a series of tests and evaluations. Such as...
- Being interviewed by Ash and two random leaders.
- Battling against their desired Gym and then against two more.
- Passing a written test about the care of Pokémon, the region and history of Kanto, and how different types would fare against other in battle, among other topics.
At any rate, I can't wait to see what people come up with. I will not be posting my CS until afterwards. It will most likely be water or electric. I cannot say for sure, so submit everything ya got. Keep everything fair and we'll have some great fun while exploring every inch of Kanto, while battling, helping people and just being kickass Trainers. Romance, drama and the like are always encouraged. Phew that was a lot to write! -drinks a hyper potion- Let the CS submission commence!

Basic question, is Ash still ten? and i'll have a CS up in a bit
That is hilariously amazing, but no, Ash has finally hit puberty and is now the best there ever was. He's 32 now.
First Name: Cosette "Seth"
Last Name: Parker
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Seth has a pretty average build, her curves are nothing to brag about and her chest isn't as big as she wants it to be. She has a fair complexion despite the conditions of her training - she does take great care of her skin, after all. Her hair, as she constantly corrects people, is silver and not white. She prefers keeping it down, but she always ties it up during training since it keeps getting in the way. Her eyes, as she constantly corrects people (again), are naturally gray and that she is not blind. Recessive genes spare no one.
She doesn't particularly like bright colors, so she sticks with wearing clothes of the color black, white and every shade inbetween. Leather and fur are her favorite textures. She only has one pair of black boots and she wears it on almost every occasion. Her clothes have often mistaken her for a biker girl, but the lack of chains, metal and... well, an actual bike prove otherwise. She prefers to look as feminine as possible, so she usually sticks with dresses and skirts.
Gym Desired: Viridian Gym - Ground - Viridian City
Hometown: Saffron City
Personality: Clever, cunning, determined, industrious, short-tempered, and narcissistic.
Background: Seth's parents were avid Pokemon lovers. Her mother was an active member of the Pokemon fan club and her father was a trainer that was able to get five badges before having to settle down because of the family. Despite how her mom wished to raise her as a lady, her father thought otherwise. She spent her childhood under his care, constantly training and learning about Pokemon battling. She was to be his successor, the one to beat him once he becomes the Pokemon Champion. She was praised for winning and punished for losing. She was raised to learn that winning was what's most important - never settle for anything less. She constantly challenged the Fighting Dojo, lingered around the city gates to chance upon strong trainers and even traveled to Johto for more battles. She was far more experienced and skilled than most of her peers and thus, victory came easy. She kept on winning and it all went to her head. She was proud and her father told her she would be the best. She loved her father, and her father loved it when she won. While she did suffer the occasional loss, she would usually shrug it off and come up with a reason in her head that explained it. If she had just done so and so then she could've won. It was immature, but she could never really believe that she actually, truly lost. Unfortunately though, after every defeat, her training with her Pokemon doubled in intensity. She loved her Pokemon, she did. But they were sometimes scared of her when she was in one of her bitter moods.
When Seth reached eighteen and was ready to set off on her own Pokemon adventure to battle gym leaders, her father accompanied her to the gates. Now that she was ready, he too was ready to go and finish his badge collecting. They had separated, her mother staying in Saffron City, her father went to the East, and Seth to the West. Before she could even win her first badge though, she had received a call from her mother. Daddy dearest had managed to gain two badges, making his set a total of seven badges. But he had lost to the gym leader in Viridian City in a one-sided battle. Dejected, he returned home. He told her to continue earning badges for him, to become the champion for him.
Seth snapped. He was her father, the one who taught her everything she knew about battling. And he was giving up?! Just like that?! He had told her winning was everything, but now he was acting like a complete sore loser. Seth was a proud woman, and she would not settle to have a loser for a father. Against everyone's advice and her own judgement, she headed straight to Viridian City to battle the gym leader. While the types of their Pokemon were similar, his were far, far more strong. She too had lost quickly. She continued on with her adventure around Kanto, but made sure to return to the Viridian gym every year to challenge the leader. She had yet to win, but she did not give up. She swore that if she were to win a badge, her first would be the Earth badge.
Years passed and word got around on the Gym Leader Trials. The first thing that set into her mind was panic. Seth had yet to defeat the scumbag and now he planned on quitting? She quickly partook in the competition, knowing it would be her last chance to beat him as a gym leader. She cared little for the actual position of gym leader, but she would not settle for losing in this contest either.
Items in Pack: Basic trainer items - like HP/PP restores, status cures, and Pokeballs. Her pass for the Magnet Train, Trainer card, Coin Case, and other items for her basic necessities.
Pokémon in Possession
Pupitar- 38 - Male
Piloswine- 33 - Female
Nidoqueen- 30 - Female
Cubone - 27 - Male

Things are looking good so far, we need two other people then in order to get started. Another male and female.
Made her background more detailed, not sure if it got better or worse though XD. And I'm guessing that the Viridian Gym Leader is Blue, right? Not Giovanni?
And might I suggest posting a thread on the Interest Check? You never know who might chance upon it there and not here.
Edit: GAH Of course its Blue, we gots a Magnet Train and everything.
Edit2: Wait, since Ash is the Champion, that means this is animeverse... Does Blue even exist in the anime? Is the gym leader Gary or something?
... I don't know anymore~ (I'm updated with the manga and game, but gave up on the anime a long while ago D: )

If there is blue/green/gary. I must have! Ha sorry i love green/blue.
Hmmm this is going to be tough, just a question. Do we have to use the type the previous leader uses for their gym? Or do we jsut have to follow our own theme? Or can we have a random collaboration of pokemon on our team.
If we ave to use the same type as the gym leader, Im taking over for Koga, haha POISON POKEMON!!

If you can only go to the movies once every month or two, then this won't be your top choice. But if you can go whenever you want, then it's worth having on your list... that is, if you like quirky and silly movies - which I do. I don't understand why they cast such mega stars when it would probably have been an improvement to the movie to use lesser known or even unknown actors. I have to say, though, stardom aside, everyone was suited to their roles.
6/10 | classical@ - 42 reviews 22.2.2013 - age: 36-49 |
It's not everyones cup of tea this movie that is. One of those movies that you see later down on your list perhaps. It was not too bad really. Kinda cute in everyway.
7/10 | shazjoao@ - 1748 reviews 18.11.2012 |
A little silly and very slow. Bring your pillow and blanket with you. No Oscars here even with talents of Bill Murray and Bruce Willis.
6/10 | jilljustleft@ - 315 reviews 28.10.2012 - age: 18-25 |
I don't think that this film is everybody's cup of whatever. I loved it the quirky plot and the interesting way of (almost) making the choice of music part of the action. Very unusual plot, nice acting of the young kids the film was able to portray the 60th realistically. For such a "little" film it must have been a coup to get such well known actors. I gave it only a seven because I just do not think that other viewers would like it as much. Otherwise I would have given a 8 1/2.
7/10 | karinmichael@ - 8 reviews 22.10.2012 - age: 50+ |
A decidedly different type of movie about 2 young kids running away to be together. Very quirky, funny at times, well acted, and well-paced. Everything and everybody seem a bit strange but in a fun kind of way. If you like the trailer for this movie then you will enjoy this weird but charming film.
8/10 | mwhal@ - 110 reviews 20.10.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Brillant, Funny, touching. It makes you want to fall in love. And the soundtrack is great too.
9/10 | cristal496@ - first review 1.10.2012 - age: 18-25 |
I've not seen many such brilliant original, unique movies because not many have been made, I guess in part due to our mostly linear thinking society. This one is way up there with the best, a true "thinking outside of the box, free-spirited trip". A gift to every one of us I feel, who want to reach down to the spontaneous kid who still lives in us all and give him or her a hand up and a shove to the forefront. Worse things could happen right? So yes I highly recommend it but if you go see it for the big-name stars you'll be disappointed because the movie belongs to those kids. They steal the show as rightly they should. Enjoy!
9/10 | charmed@ - 4 reviews 25.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
Dear God, went with 8 friends, only myself and my gf stayed till the end because she was asleep, absolute torture to watch this annoying movie, avoid it like the plague!
1/10 | ammar_wicked@ - first review 25.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Pleasantly surprise that it's a good film. Enjoyed the storylines, settings, acting, and the 70's music. It's different and unique compared to some of the more boring mainstream films out there.
8/10 | karen_lett@ - 361 reviews 23.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Definitely a treasure. If you are looking for a different and truly entertaining film, you must see Moonrise Kingdom.
9/10 | sportyanderson7@ - 2 reviews 21.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Well, this is without a doubt a quirky and whimsical film that has moments of crazy humour and even a deep sadness and disturbance running through it. The film is perhaps too staged, but perhaps that was the intent. Like the apartments in Rear Window (Hitchcock), the director took exceptional care to create the different sets, starting with the wonderful way he did the rooms of the house at the very beginning of the film. I found that the attempt to create a more sixties feel with the sixties kind of film, bothered me from the start - it dulled the colours and took away alot of sharpness and yes, this was the intent, but it bugged me. The closeups were good. The cinematography was wonderful and almost every frame could have been a photograph of exceptional quality. The craziness and quirkiness was interesting and fun yet. It felt too strained for the most part - too stiff. Overall, I probably would have to see it again to really know what I really think about it - strange, yet this was a strange and zany kind of a flick.
7/10 | ponderingred@ - 35 reviews 16.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
Great humor, both slapstick and subtle. Wonderful story line -- especially if you come from a scouting background. Would agree with comments that Ed Norton and Bruce Willis are not essential actors for this movie, but the characters are good. The kids are the stars, though. I am going to see it for the second time tomorrow.
10/10 | ms_max@ - first review 13.9.2012 |
If you don't have nothing else to see and want something light, this is the one. Some moments of laugh but it is nothing special.
6/10 | amtgsa1@ - first review 12.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I am a big fan of the quirky-film genre, and this doesn't disappoint. It's a coming-of-age love story. Intelligent, funny, and quirky. Not to be missed for anyone a fan of Rushmore, Tenenbaums, or Life Aquatic.
9/10 | stanlee@ - 105 reviews 4.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Good cast but tried too hard! If you're a fan of foreign Quirky Films for the last 30 - 40 yrs... then it'll explain it.
2/10 | dho@ - 25 reviews 21.8.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Some of the best cameo roles for these talented actors in years. Love the scouting genre. I loved the coming of age story set in the sixties as well as the beauty of the setting. My favorite Wes Anderson movie yet and I own most of them. Big Wes Anderson fan.
10/10 | hafoster@ - first review 20.8.2012 - age: 50+ |

10/10 | gartzi@ - first review 19.8.2012 - age: 50+ |
Was glad it was the Tuesday deal night when we went as I didn't feel so bad paying to see it then. There were some moments in the movie that were fun, however, if I were at home watching on T. V. would probably have switched to another channel.
4/10 | jcwrightb@ - 2 reviews 19.8.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Wes anderson has done it again, amazing cinematography, and an all arounds goo and feel good movie. The script was hilarious and everything in the movie had so much detail and precision.
10/10 | zanelund@ - first review 16.8.2012 - age: 13-17 |
One of the best films I've seen in at least two years. Delightedly delightful & WEIRD! :^)
10/10 | salela@ - first review 15.8.2012 - age: 50+ |
I love Wes Anderson's color and framing. Makes the movie visually wonderful. And the humor is so subtle you often start laughing well into the next scene. Reminiscent of The Life Aquatic in some scenes.
9/10 | art@ - first review 11.8.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Wow great flick original and funny ( I haven't laugh like that in a long time) definitely feel good movie.
9/10 | isis42@ - 11 reviews 6.8.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I enjoy it. Quirky fun, I laughed so hard! If You like quirky humour, you will enjoy this!
10/10 | bigfish_@ - first review 31.7.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Stellar - Wes Anderson does it again. Takes second place in my Wes Anderson faves.
8/10 | lkahfa@ - first review 29.7.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I can't believe Bruce Willis agreed to this. I am just glad I got matinee pricing with senior discount. It is now worth full movie ticket.
4/10 | camping_carol@ - first review 29.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
You know what to expect. Great cinematography, amazing set design, vibrant colors, entertaining non sense from Wes Anderson. Funny, unexpected, and different than the usual movies you are forced into seeing.
9/10 | cahootsinc@ - 32 reviews 28.7.2012 - age: 26-35 |
The move takes place in 1965, and it sure feels like it; boring. Good show for kids & women... Some good acting - for 1965 - except for the young star boy in my opinion; he didn't seem to fit the part very well... Not terrible acting, just didn't seem to be the right person for the part.
5/10 | alanelliott87@ - 34 reviews 25.7.2012 - age: 50+ - One reply |
See it for Wes Anderson's unique characters. See it for the core pleasure of exploring the director's vision and mind. Same bracket as Darjeeling Limited and the Royal Tenebaums. You will not be disappointed. I love that he works with the same actors all the time -- love them all.
9/10 | digrrr@ - first review 24.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
Hilarious. Ridiculous. Insane. Cute. Best movie ever.
10/10 | floatingpie32@ - first review 24.7.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Charming. Sweet. Reality meets Fantasy. Storytelling at its best... it's like a tale from childhood memories but everything is remembered as being bigger, taller, scarier, etc. than it was, but that's what time and experience bring to the memories we hold on to and add on to over the years... I loved it :)
9/10 | jwcable@ - first review 23.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
What a joy! I didn't particularly care for Anderson's previous films so I was hesitant to see this one but definitely glad I did. This is bound to become a favourite on everyone's list. The story is wonderful and draws you in immediately to this quirky community of wonderful characters. Everything is just a bit odd but not unbelievably so. The cast does a wonderful job as no one outshines another. All the performances are wonderful. If you are unfortunate and miss this in the theatres, buy, don't rent, the DVD. It's a keeper.

Quite funny in a quirky way. Refreshing to see young love and all the craziness of the first big crush.
8/10 | steamroller@ - first review 21.7.2012 - age: 36-49 |
A unique combination of truth and fiction. Bittersweet and adorable. For anyone that has a first love or truly been in love, I recommend that you see this movie.
9/10 | barky.bark@ - first review 20.7.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I found this movie puzzling. Neither very funny nor especially dramatic. It had some good actors who were wasted on nothing roles. The girl seemed miscast to me. She looked like either she had just competed in The Hunger Games or she was just on her way to compete. The boy was not a very good child actor. Some of the music score was interesting. The premise of this movie was done decades ago in a more charming movie "Melody". I'd love to see that film again.

Put aside all that is old about you. Return to a simpler time. It's a magical, mystery tour waiting to take you away!
9/10 | dmanzerolle@ - 5 reviews 17.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
Want to see something different? See this! If, like one reviewer, you are "... really hoping that this movie was going to be a "Stand by Me" sort of movie...", then this might be a little too 'smart' for you, too quirky, intelligent, and well made... Classic Wes Anderson.
9/10 | dravafox@ - 3 reviews 17.7.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I was really hoping that this movie was going to be a "Stand by Me " sort of movie with really good performances by the young actors, but it fell far short. It wasn't terribly funny, didn't tug on any heart strings and didn't even capture the 60's nostalgia very well. (Not to mention the weird soundtrack) I don't get why so many people have given it such a good rating.
6/10 | sallypommer@ - first review 17.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
I enjoyed this a lot. Quirky characters, odd situation, and love sort of congers all. I laughed and enjoyed but Royal Tennenbaums is better. Still, with the thin quality of movies this summer, go see this one.
8/10 | cmcgowan2@ - 2 reviews 16.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
I love movies which portray the point of view of the children, not just the adults.
8/10 | blingomarie@ - first review 15.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
Funny quirky laugh out loud movie. I loved it. If you have ever been a guide or scout, you will revisit fond memories. Better than the 7.8 rating it is getting.
9/10 | cuming87@ - 20 reviews 15.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
An absolute gem of a movie - Wes Anderson makes every frame beautiful and unusual - I wanted to see the film again as soon as it was over, there were just too many wonderful details to see, I'm sure I missed some. Also, Benjamin Britten's music was a treasure!
10/10 | lynnfueser@ - first review 13.7.2012 - age: 50+ |
Perfect. One of my favorite Wes Anderson movies, it's very lovely.
10/10 | beverloid@ - first review 13.7.2012 - age: 36-49 |
While this movie is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, for me it was a near-perfect brew. Impossible to describe, "Moonrise Kingdom" is rather like Peter Pan meets Monty Python meets Adventures In Babysitting meets 24 Hours. Quirky, satirical, well-acted and beautifully filmed (many of the scenes have a Coen Bros feel to them), this is a good film for everyone who ever, as an adolescent, thought that the whole world was made up of simpletons and madmen.

A 22-year-old Newton Grove-area man is recovering from an apparent assault he claims occurred after a Good Samaritan act turned bad.
Cesar David Midence, of Kenan Weeks Road, told officers Monday afternoon that he picked up a white male walking down the road Sunday as he was leaving Newton Grove, an attempt to give the man a ride to his destination.
But rather than merely accepting the ride, the suspect reportedly got into the vehicle and pulled a handgun, demanding that Midence do as he was directed.
Instead, Midence, Sampson sheriff's reports show, said he wrecked his vehicle in an attempt to knock the suspect out.
The victim did, indeed, wreck the vehicle but the suspect was not harmed, and Midence told officers the suspect drug him out of the vehicle and into a field where he struck him in the head, knocking him unconscious.
The incident began around 11 p.m. Sunday night and Midence reportedly came to the next day, Monday, around 4:30 p.m., and walked to the Newton Grove Police Department where he, in turn, asked to call sheriff's investigators.
The incident was reported to deputies around 8:30 p.m. Monday night.
An investigation is continuing.

Other than that, Kendrick kills his verses and he's spitting over some real quality beats. I really enjoyed it though 4.6/5

Blind Tiger, Tiger's idiosyncratic self-recorded demo caught the ears of promoters in Austin, Texas and snagged the band an invitation to SXSW, as well as a spot on Soundcheck Magazine's "100 Reasons to Love 2007" list alongside acts like Okkervil River, Spoon, and Vampire Weekend. Blind Tiger, Tiger was the only band that made the list without an official release.
The band is now busy recording a five-song EP with Edmonton art and media wizard Eric Cheng (Spreepark, Hills Like White Elephants, Portraits) to be released late May of 2008. A tour supporting the EP is scheduled for late June and early July.
I really haven't been using email, facebook, or myspace for about a month, so if anyone has messaged me and I haven't responded, I sincerely apologize. I haven't even seen some of our band members for a while. I hear Sean is uncertain as to whether Blind Tiger, Tiger still exists. Well, I'll tell him right after I tell all of you: we do!Actually, while we've been slacking off, the internet and radio has been doing good work for us. We're apparently charting in Toronto and St. Catharine's and on various other college radio stations. Plus, we're currently sitting at number 26 on CBC Radio 3's R3-30. That's really awesome and gratifying. Speaking just for myself, I feel really grateful to the CBC for doing so much for fledgling bands. It's so cool to hear us being played on a national radio show that I already listen to. Anyway, we'll be getting back to playing shows really soon. We had to turn down a bunch of shows because we were all out of town and out of practice, but we've got some really exciting stuff coming up. Anyway, with this excessive use of the word 'exciting', I feel like some kind of filthy slick-haired marketing goon with big square teeth and an iron handshake. So please don't take it that way. I really am excited. A few unrelated things. 1. I went to visit my mom in Nanaimo and went to a petting zoo, where I encountered the animal that is pictured with this post.ISN'T IT THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN???2. I can't stop listening to this song. What is wrong with me?

Voting for the new theme starts on October 4th, but for now, you can listen to and rate anthems on the website. Catherine's submissions can be found here and here. Please check them out! If she wins, she'll buy us a tour van!!

There is not much you can do with the rebound and compression to make it feel softer. Most likely you need to put a new rear spring on it. You can try taking some preload out of it too.

I have a 2012 D675R. I adjusted the compression and rebound according to the recommended specs in the manual for "street riding". It is more street friendly. Just be careful turning them in to full clockwise too much on forks. Toward the end it still clicks, but feels like you're over turning them. I stopped where I felt comfortable that I wasn't overturning, and backed off to get my "0" click. Then made a few minor adjustments later to where I was happy, after going for a ride.
As previous poster mentioned, the "sag" or spring preload is essential with proper suspension tuning. If needed, this should be the first change you make with proper suspension tuning. I'm at 188, and with my initial sag measurements, I see too much preload on the rear and too little up front. I'll need to revisit the compression/rebound settings after I set my sag up properly. Adjusting spring preload can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. If unsure, seek a professional's assistance :) Last edited by LemonAid; 11-09-12 at 18:31. Reason: Added disclaimer |

Its a sportbike, there are other bikes (couches) for a nice cushy ride. But you can play with your compression some or softer springs.
