Donovan Shinnock got involved with the SCA mumbly-mumble years ago, back when Carolingian fencing was still held at the Boston Fencing Club and schalgers weren't even thought of. Since then, he's jumped into fencing and has developed a growing interest in period fencing manuals, heraldry, teaching, helping the fencing program in general, bardic shenanigans, and avoiding witnesses when he gets into trouble. He is also inordinately fond of foxes.
This is a work in progress. Late-period Irish, very likely left home because it was kind of going downhill fast.
His name uses the Anglicized spelling as it's late period - and out of a kindness and love for heralds.

the psp doesn't have massive failure rates like the 360
post #101 of 257
12/3/07 at 9:19am
End the debate, unless your a flaming fanboy(I have been in the past), or there is one exclusive title to ps3 that you must have(I had one - TekkenDR Online), 360 destroys PS3 100 fold.
I own both, ahem(I also develop on both), the PS3 is trash! Everywhere on 360 you will go, damn they really did this feature right, conversely on PS3 you will be saying damn they couldnt have screwed this up more!! 360 has a vastly superior library, better hardware, and better online. PS3 has free online, crappy ports of 360 games, HD-Audio off of Bluray and thats it! For the 50 quid a year for 360 online, some bitch as PSN is free, but a head to head comparison of say COD4 (Widely considered the best/closest replication of the 360 version in terms of grfx, framerate, and general playability) it becomes immediately apparent were the 50 duckets went. The online experience on 360 destroys bot PS3 and Wii its like Sending Mike Tyson to fight a one legged, blind, retarded kid. Yeah, Sony's implementation of Bluray IS better than MS's implementation of HD-DVD only for the fact that you cant get HD audio of the discs on 360 and you can w/ PS3. This is nice to be sure, but in the end this IS a video GAME system, and while there is more storage, Bluray has much slower read times than regular DVD = Long ass load times! Hey, if there is an exclusive to PS3, its hard to argue against, but as far as Library in totality, 360 = major pwnage, more and better exclusives! and all cross platform titles are crappy ports of the 360. COD4 is the first title Ive seen on par w/ the 360 version, but as Sony's online infrastructure and integration is sooooo poor compared to LIVE, the 360 version is that much more enjoyable to play. While I cant argue w/ ring of death statements (I went through 5 360's in 6 months - frustrating) Hopefully they have solved the problem as my Elite has been running flawlessly! I dont think PS3 is out of the woods just yet, Im still on my first original Xbox1 and going strong, whereas my current PS2 was the 5th one I had to get. Forget about PS home, Ive been in the Beta since day 1 of the beta (perk of my profession), yes its cool, but its novelty eventually wears off, and doesnt hide the fact that it in no way improves the most important aspect, I think, of buying a new gen console - Playing next gen kick ass games w/ amaizing grfx and sound with friends all over the globe! And Im spent |
I saw both versions of cod4 ps3, 360. they look and play the same. seriously. I don't get where ppl think the ps3 will magically look better because it has blu-ray and the cell. the graphic cards are about the same, with the 360 having a slight advantage. look it up.
it just sounds like ppl are going back to when ps3 wasn't out yet and it was hyped up to hell and back ps COD4 on pc pwns them all. I'm still waiting darq |
you may have "saw" them but i have played them on PC, 360 and PS3 and i can say that you're wrong...
Her friend nods and keeps her eyes on the blonde go-go dancer in tiny white shorts undulating on a tabletop. "Bois like us," she says, "we've got to stick together." |
I like COD4, I've been outside and played it.
Isn't the use of boi, meant to be a gay term? http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/features/n_9709/ |
I played them... Playing also allows you to see them. I didn't see a difference.
What "game" was said to be better looking than it's 360 brother? I'm talking about games that are on both. Keep in mind ps3 would of had a year and half with the ports from the 360 to polish them up. and that isn't COD4, cause I saw one PS3 biased site that said COD4 on ps3 was better. You can't. and darq you follow duke around like alittle fanboy puppy it's cute. keep on defending your consoles. I'm just pointing out that a ps3 couldn't keep up with the 360 madden anyone? |
GBQ one I happen to agree with Duke on lots of things he has posted. I also think your just as big as a FanBoi or AnitFanboi or what ever you want to call yourself when it comes to you slamming on the PS3. After owning both and having the 360 go Boom I don't care what anyone says even if the new owns are better I think its crap.
Oh and as for Madden, who the hell plays Sports Video Games. Go out side and really play it. |
I have. I was still referring to someones post about fight night and the other ports from 360 to ps3. and because it was a game that is on both systems along with most every other game on both systems the 360 is better. that's all I was saying duke. plus I have played them on both. on my 360 before it blew up on my co-workers ps3 so yeah good going duke.
I think I'm buying my g/f a wii for xmas lol |

Pratty studied a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Commerce at the University of New South Wales and started working with KPMG on a part-time basis in November 2005, while studying. Pratty started in a graduate role in August 2007.
How would you describe the work you do to someone outside the firm?
I think the key word I would use to describe my work is varied. It's a mix between compliance and advisory work with some high profile clients within the funds management and property industry.
What is your average week like?
It's hard to describe as each week is very different! I would say that a typical week could involve working on major tax advice, reviewing distribution calculations during our busy period, business development work (which essentially looks at how we can best serve our clients with the changes in the market and tax environment) and reviewing tax returns.
Why do you think KPMG is a good place to be a graduate?
I had such a wonderful experience working at KPMG during university that when it came to choosing out of the 'Big Four' where I'd start as a graduate, I chose KPMG. Essentially, it was due to the people I had met who were not only friendly, but would really go out of their way to help you. One of KPMG's strengths is the way they deal with their people. Plus the fantastic social scene at KPMG also helps!
What are your goals for the future?
For the immediate future, my goal is to be the best I can be working in the funds management industry and continue to learn and develop my skills in tax.
For the distant future, my goal would be to laze around my own island while sipping an apple martini!
What sort of training have you done?
At university, I did a Commerce/Law degree with a major in Finance so I did not really have any accounting training prior to joining KPMG. What was so fantastic about KPMG was even though I did not have an accounting background, KPMG offered continuous training to help me develop my knowledge in accounting.
What has been the most interesting thing you have been involved in during your time at KPMG?
I was involved in helping write a major advice for a New Zealand entity regarding the residency of trusts. Of course, there is joining the social club and going to some fantastic events (including the black-tie ball at the end of the year).
What five words would sum up your first year at KPMG?
Social, Friendships, Interesting, Diversity, Challenging.

The Owls remain 271/2-point underdogs, and they have their issues on defense. Their top two players on that side will miss the game: linebacker Cameron Nwosu and cornerback Phillip Gaines (suspended). Gaines was named C-USA's preseason player of the year by league coaches.
The Aggies reportedly will start either junior Matt Joeckel or true freshman Kenny Hill.
Rice's game against seventh-ranked Texas A&M is the first of 21 games pitting C-USA teams against a "Power Five" conference member.
Every team plays at least one such foe, with East Carolina taking on three - Virginia Tech, North Carolina and North Carolina State. The Pirates are in long-term contracts with big-name foes in their region.
Even future C-USA teams Old Dominion and Western Kentucky have "Power Five" foes: ODU plays Maryland and WKU plays Kentucky today in Nashville, then at Tennessee.
bod:Middle Tennessee began its C-USA existence Thursday night by beating Western Carolina 45-24. One setback for the Blue Raiders: Quarterback Logan Kilgore left the game with a shoulder injury after going 12 of 18 for 144 yards with a touchdown.
The injury is to the AC joint, and he is questionable for the Raiders' game next week at North Carolina. Kilgore's backup is Austin Grammer.
Also Thursday, Tulane used six turnovers and two Orleans Darka rushing TDs to defeat Jackson State 34-7.

Zebari: Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, Rajavi cult) expulsion from Iraq will be strictly monitored by a special committee
... The foreign minister also dismissed reports that Iraq is showing leniency in expelling Mojahedin Khalgh Organization (MKO), saying the Iraqi government has taken its decision on the group and the expulsion will be strictly monitored by a "special committee"...
Mehr News, Baghdad, Feb 16, 2009
BAGHDAD, Feb. 16 (MNA) – Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has stated that Baghdad intends to host talks between Iran and United States over the security situation in Iraq and called for maintaining "Iraq-Iraq-U.S. triangle".
In an exclusive interview with the Mehr News Agency, Zebari said the Iraqi government, given the current situation in the country, views hosting such talks as a priority.
He pointed out that Iran is "one of Iraq's most important neighbors" that is seeking "special relations with Baghdad with goodwill" and that Baghdad's relations with Tehran are of "great significance".
He added the U.S. influence in Iraq is also "undeniable".
Iran's foreign minister has ruled out holding new security talks with the United States over Iraq, saying improved security situation has made such talks unnecessary.
However, Zebari said there are issues that Iran and the United States should "settle between themselves", and in the run-up to "new Iraq" Baghdad favors cooperation between the three parties by maintaining "Iran-Iraq-U.S. triangle."
The foreign minister also dismissed reports that Iraq is showing leniency in expelling Mojahedin Khalgh Organization (MKO), saying the Iraqi government has taken its decision on the group and the expulsion will be strictly monitored by a "special committee".
The MKO has claimed responsibility for carrying out numerous terror attacks against Iranian nationals and officials, and has also been accused of assisting former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the slaughter of thousands of Iraqi civilians in the 1990s.
The MKO established a camp for about 3,500 members in Iraq, which its forces used to launch cross-border attacks into Iran. It fought alongside Saddam Hussein's forces during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.
Many senior Iraqi officials have assured Iran that the MKO members will soon have to leave Iraq.
Zebari also stated that Baghdad understands Tehran's concerns about the Iranian diplomats detained by U.S forces and expressed hope that Iraq's negotiations with the U.S. will lead to the release of the diplomats.
The U.S. military detained five Iranian diplomats in the city of Arbil, 310 km (190 miles) north of Baghdad, in January 2007. In November that year, U.S. officials said they would release two of the five diplomats.

Envoy says Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, Rajavi cult) leaders must be extradited to Iran
BAGHDAD – Those Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) leaders who masterminded terror operations inside Iran must be extradited to the country to stand trial, Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad Hassan Kazemi Qomi has said.
Tehran Times Political Desk, February 16, 2009
Iran has presented Iraqi officials a list of the MKO leaders who must be handed over to the country, he told the Mehr News Agency.
MKO members immigrated to Iraq in the 1980s and fought alongside Iraqi forces against Iran in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
The ambassador also said, "The Iraqi government has been serious about expelling the terrorist organization members."
Kazemi Qomi noted that Baghdad has officially informed the MKO members that they "can not choose" between staying and leaving the country, warning that they will be expelled from Iraq.
There are reports that 1,031 MKO members have so far decided to leave Iraq either by acquiring citizenship or by obtaining passport and so they will leave the country or those countries that have granted them citizenship will have to take them out of the Iraqi soil, he pointed out.
The MKO has claimed responsibility for carrying out numerous terror attacks against Iranian nationals and officials, and has also been accused of assisting former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the slaughter of thousands of Iraqi civilians in the 1990s.

The European Union has reportedly decided to remove the anti-Iran Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) from its terror blacklist. The terrorist group is especially notorious for the help it extended to former dictator Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq imposed on Iran (1980-1988).

By Massoud Khodabandeh, January 13, 2009 The State Department has again decided to keep the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO) with all its aliases on the US terrorism list. There are a growing number of people who are calling for the US to have done with the group once and for all. Commentators on several blogs and articles suggest the leaders be 'tried in internationally approved courts and let the membership go home.' But this ignores the heavy price that has been paid for the group both politically (Iran has constantly accused the US and Europe of double standards on terrorism for their palpable support for the MKO) and financially (one of the key indicators of the actual irrelevance of adding the MKO to western terrorism lists is the tens of millions of dollars, euros and pounds the group has been able to spend on legal challenges and propaganda to keep itself alive – money which must come from somewhere). ------------ Also read:
MKO Leader Maryam Rajavi's calls for her groupto be removed from blacklists have fallen on deaf ears in Canada and in the United States. The EU, however, has long sought to legitimize the anti-Iran activities of the MKO.
(Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, cult leaders)
"The deal has been done. [MKO] will be delisted," an EU diplomat said on conditions of anonymity on Thursday.
He, however, asserted that the consensus must win final approval from EU foreign ministers at a meeting in Brussels on Monday in order to become fully operational.
The Mujahedin Khalq Organization, which identifies itself as a Marxist-Islamist guerilla army, was founded in Iran in the 1960s but was exiled some twenty years later for carrying out numerous acts of terrorism inside the country.
(Maryam Rajavi directly ordered the massacre of Kurdish people)
The group masterminded a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, one of which was the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 Iranian officials were killed, including then Judiciary chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.
A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report condemns the MKO for running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations. According to report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.
(MKO members in European Countries 2003)
The group has a 40-year history of involvement in terrorist activities. It assassinated several Americans in Iran in the 1970s and criticized the founder of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini for releasing the American diplomats in 1981, arguing instead that the hostages of the embassy takeover should have been executed.
The United States and Canada have refused to drop the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations.
(In the streets of London with Lord Corbett!!)
Iraq's National Security Advisor has reported the arrest of an MKO member who is currently in custody after surrendering himself to an Iraqi security unit. The man, who is a resident of Camp Ashraf, was about to perform a suicide mission, but could not go through with it. According to a statement from the office of the National Security Advisor, the MKO member has claimed the MKO use severe torture and brainwashing on its members. He claims that: "I was sent with a clear and precise plan to perform a suicide mission in this Iraqi base".
This news will come as no surprise to those who know the MKO. Looking at Massoud Rajavi's track record over thirty years, nothing more or less than this could be expected. While he was able to send over 2,000 civilians their deaths back in 1988 in the failed Eternal Light operation, he has since then sent numerous smaller groups to perform suicidal terrorist attacks in Iran with the added instruction that if captured the person should use their cyanide pill to kill themselves. More recently, MKO were instructed to set fire to themselves to protest the arrest of Maryam Rajavi on terrorism charges in Paris. Two died and several others sustained serious injury with their permanent disfigurement and disability a direct result of Rajavi's order.
Massoud Rajavi who owns the MKO also owns the blood of the members and will spill it whenever he needs to. In this case to rescue himself from the mess he has made in Iraq. The MKO members are his capital which buys him power. They are expandable assets which have been used and reused shamelessly by western agencies who have found this a useful and cheap resource in their 'regime change' armoury. It is clear that the neoconservatives and Zionists are using the MKO against the Iraqis, and are helping them by facilitating the impunity enjoyed by MKO leaders at the cult's headquarters in Europe.
This latest fiasco in the Rajavi saga is surely the result of negligence and apathy of the European Union toward the MKO which apparently couldn't summon the energy or interest to properly investigate the MKO and deal with it accordingly. A feat which has been assiduously performed by successive US Governments since 1994 and which has resulted in the MKO retaining its terrorism designation to date with the added information that the group is a cult. However, the Bush Administration has also proved itself to be overly greedy in wanting to have their cake and eat it. The US army has 'protected' this 'terrorist' outfit for five and a half years in Iraq in spite of repeated demands by the Iraqis for removal of this known FTO, which collaborated with the former regime, from Iraqi territory.
It is surely time for the international community as represented by the UNHCR and UNCHR to to help the Iraqis ensure that all the individuals held captive in Camp Ashraf are accorded their basic human rights. Rajavi's victims must be given the opportunity to renounce violence and to leave Camp Ashraf for third countries or to accept voluntary repatriation to Iran. Any delay in dismantling this notorious cult is to condemn the inhabitants to enforced membership of an illegal paramilitary terrorist group.
The security forces of Iraq have arrested a member of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (aka: MKO, MEK, PMOI, NCRI, Rajavi cult) after he failed to carry out his suicide mission inside an Iraqi security base.
According to the source this resident of Ashraf camp (MKO base) gave himself up and is now being kept in secure and safe conditions.
According to the statement this member of Mojahedin Khalq has now complained about the severe exercise of torture and brainwashing techniques employed by the heads of the organisation.
According to his written statements, he claims that: "I was sent with a clear and precise plan to perform a suicide mission in this Iraqi base".
According to the statement of the office of Iraq's National Security Advisor, "the aim of this suicide attack has been to put pressure on the security forces of Iraq, to entangle them in this because it is this new force that has taken over the security of Ashraf camp from January 01, 2009"
The statement says it is believed that this was to be used in the media in the Arab world as well as the western media by MKO and its supporters. It also has the aim of making the disaffected members inside the camp afraid of giving themselves up to the Iraqi forces.
The statement adds that every effort is being made to either repatriate him voluntarily or find another country to transfer him. The Iraqi government wishes to announce that while the government of Iraq is committed to all its international obligations, including any promises made to the United State administration, that: "the security forces of Iraq are aware and conscious of the fruitless activities of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in creating disturbances in Iraqi society and have been briefed to be able to carry out their duties".
With MKO personnel permanently camped-out in most of Europe's parliaments for the past two years it should come as no surprise that the group will be removed from Europe's terrorism list when it is announced on January 15. In July 2008, the EU announced that there were "no grounds" to amend the list of terrorist organisations, which includes 48 groups, and EU officials insisted that the decision to keep the MEK on the list of the terrorist groups is not related to the Western efforts to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear enrichment program.
What is behind this peculiar change which will redefine the group as non-terrorist in Europe?
As with removal from the UK terrorism list in June 2008, no material difference will accrue to the MKO. In his book on the Mojahedin Dr. Ronen A. Cohen says the MKO "does not have the characteristics of a classic terror organization as it does not initiate terror against innocents" – although the indiscriminate nature of many of its attacks mean 12,000 civilians have been killed in MKO operations inside Iran over two decades.
The most pertinent explanation for why removal from the lists is irrelevant is because the MKO even at the height of its military prowess in 1988 and with the full backing of Saddam Hussein and the west was unable to fulfil its aim of replacing the Islamic Republic with its own rule. Massoud Raajvi's long term premise that such change would come about as a result of a popular uprising has been pragmatically replaced in the past five years with the conviction that regime change would be imposed on Iran from external powers – the USA, Israel - and that the MKO could reap the benefit of being there as a viable alternative when that happened.
Of these two, perhaps the latter version is currently more possible and perhaps probable even with a new US Administration in place.
So, what use do the MKO's backers envisage for the group?
The protection of a uniformed anti-Iran mercenary group in Camp Ashraf in Diyali province for five years has been intentional. The price paid has been too great to allow jettisoning the group now, both politically and financially. However, it is important to note that even if it is removed from the UK, EU and perhaps US terrorism lists, the MKO does not enjoy governmental recognition or legitimacy anywhere in the world. Nor does any country need to give the group legitimacy in order to make use of it.
Essentially the use of the MKO is, as Rajavi himself has used them, as perpetrators and victims of violence. The MKO's talent is that they are trained to kill and be killed according to Rajavi's order. That they will do this to fulfil a western agenda without needing western approval is the group's unique selling point and is enough to justify not continuing to label them as terrorists.
There is no doubt that for many observers the removal of the MKO from the European list will clarify the European position toward terrorism. Public opinion in the Middle East has never regarded western terrorism lists as about terrorism per se but as lists of enemies of western interests.
Inclusion of the violently anti-Iranian MKO along with groups which are genuinely anti-western has been a major discrepancy of all the western terrorism lists, a glaring error of political judgement. The MKO may have begun life as an anti-imperialist group with armed struggle its core value, and continued this path under the patronage of Saddam Hussein. But, since its forced disarmament at the hands of the US army, the group has been able to beguile western powers, including Israel, into believing it shares common cause against Iran and is a friend and ally of at least some in the west.
After spending hundreds of millions of dollars on propaganda and legal fees to keep the MKO alive, these backers are now obliged to use this blunted tool in any way they can, perhaps to justify the expenditure, perhaps because they really believe the MKO can be an effective tool against Iran.
Anne Singleton, an expert on the MKO and author of 'Saddam's Private Army' explains, "With a new Administration in the White House a pre-emptive strike on Iran looks unlikely. Instead the MKO's backers have put together a coalition of small irritant groups, the known minority and separatist groups, along with the MKO. These groups will be garrisoned around the border with Iran and their task is to launch terrorist attacks into Iran over the next few years to keep the fire hot.
"The role of the MKO is to train and manage these groups using the expertise they acquired from Saddam's Republican Guard. The price the MKO has had to pay is to accept their removal from their main base Camp Ashraf and relocate to other bases not their own. The inducement will be to remove the group from the terrorism list in Europe."
Once the MKO has been declared in Europe as 'no longer terrorists', the group's overt backers, Lord Corbett, Struan Stevenson MEP, Paulo Casaca MEP, and others who see the world, and in particular Iran, through neoconservative/Zionist tinted glasses will move to promote this coalition in their various circles.
Although it is tempting to cast this move into the sphere of betting both ways on the new Obama Administration's Iran policy, the key trigger for this move has been the Iraqi government's insistence on the removal of the MKO from Iraq and the handover of Camp Ashraf to Iraqi sovereignty. This has not been an unreasonable request of US forces over a five year period. However, it is only since the agreed handover of control of Camp Ashraf on January 1 that this became an inevitable outcome. For over a year, MKO backers in western parliaments have lobbied for the MKO to remain in Camp Ashraf on the grounds that the group would be massacred by vengeful Iraqis or forced back to Iran to face certain torture and execution. The falsity of this position has become exposed as the Iraqi government has continued to protect the group and has given repeated assurances that no one will be forced home against their will. Beyond this, the Iranian government's own position on prosecuting leading members has made it impossible to send anyone back that Iran does not want.
The reason for the insistence on maintaining the MKO in Camp Ashraf – and now in new border based garrisons alongside other armed groups – has been because the only use for the group is to act as an irritant against Iran. If a full scale military attack could not be manufactured which would involve them, then small scale terrorist attacks are the next best alternative.
What all this overlooks, of course, is the human aspect of this group. For years former members of the MKO have warned of severe human rights violations perpetrated against the members. Human Rights Watch conducted its own investigation into the group's recent history in 2005 and published a damning report titled No Exit. But more recently, those who escaped the camp since its capture by American forces in 2003 and who have managed to reach Europe, are alleging continued cruelties including unnecessary hysterectomies imposed on women to rob them of any hope of having children.
For five years the American army has effectively prevented any independent investigation into these allegations. The primary task of the Iraqi military now in charge of the camp must be to allow humanitarian agencies to access the camp's residents and individually assess their mental, physical and emotional status. Anything less than this is to condemn 3,250 people to being part of an illegal paramilitary group without their active consent.
This still leaves the fundamental question of what the west will get from its investment in the MKO. It is looking likely that the US will cherry-pick whoever it wants from the MKO to perform in its new coalition strategy. The old, sick, disabled and disturbed will be left for the Iraqi government to deal with.
In view of western patronage of this group, albeit largely covert in nature since it does not acknowledge that it is the group's willingness to die that is its main use, then it is western countries which ultimately have a responsibility, if not an outright duty, to rescue the group from Iraq. If the group's membership is indeed moved to other bases in Iraq to continue involvement in acts of violence, then any blood shed will be on western hands not those who are defending their country's security.

Village business partnership grants
Village partnerships
The village business partnerships grants program is an economic initiative to drive development in village precincts throughout the City of Sydney. Residential areas have been characterised as a diverse 'City of Villages' surrounding the city centre. These village precincts are a key contributor to the City's renowned liveability, with each possessing its own distinctive character based on its physical, social and cultural attributes and assets. They also contribute to attracting workers and business investment, which strengthens the City's economy.
Sustainable Sydney 2030 seeks to develop and support local economies and employment to recognise the role played by robust local economies in the regional and global economy.
Through the program the City provides funds for initiatives that seek to revitalise and enhance local commercial and retail precincts for the benefit of residents and visitors. By helping to encourage and stimulate local business and economic activity, the program will contribute to building strong local economies, creating and sustaining employment opportunities and developing and retaining local retail, commercial and professional services.
Applications of up to $80,000 are considered for this program.

text: In February, the Montana Historical Society became an official affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. Officials from the Smithsonian came to the Society to welcome it to their national organization. It provides great professional and academic resources for the Society, traveling exhibits and programs, as well as special benefits to our members. The Society held weeklong events to celebrate the new affiliation with events ranging from Dutch oven baking to Native American games to black history to historic barns. Now when you join us, you can join the Smithsonian as well. Their officials said they will get as much from our great organization as we will get from them. We are a little bit proud!

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
I collect Barbie's , Poppy's, Fashion Royalties and a few 16" dolls. This is a new hobby for me, two years in February I went to a Barbie club meeting here in Nova Scotia, since then I've been hooked on these girls and found myself sewing and knitting frantically to dress them all, They also needed a place to live and not just standing together on the shelf, so with the help of my husband Bo, we've put my girls in great places to live. I will be posting pics of their homes soon.
Love and hugs
Hi Peggy! Thanks for saying 'hello' and i'm pleased that Deb invited you to join us :)
Can't wait to see pics of your dolls homes. I LOVE dioramas!!

Woke up in Marquette, MI this morning to the sound of rain and some thunder. Sure enough it was sprinkling pretty good when I looked outside.

KPMG's pensions advisory team helps companies manage their pension costs and risks.

Marble Falls drives for late game-winning field goalNovember 02, 2012, 11:50 pm by Mark Goodson
By Mark Goodson Highlander Sports Editor An emotional Stacy Heinatz called it the "perfect ending to Senior Night for the Marble Falls Mustangs. The snap from Hunter Dooley was "perfect, the hold by Heinatz "was pretty close to perfect and the kick by senior Jacob Wyatt was "perfect. Wyatt, a senior who did not attempt a field goal his entire junior season, split the uprights from 24 yards with 13 seconds left Friday night to lift the Marble Falls Mustangs to a 38-35 win over Dripping Springs at Mustang Stadium. "We needed it so bad, Marble Falls coach Todd Dodge said after his team snapped a month-long, four-game skid in district play. "It was really great the way Mike (Richardson) took them down the field behind that offense line They showed a lot of guts. Marble Falls drove 55 yards and booted the game-winning field goal on the 15th play of the drive. The Mustangs converted one third down play and one fourth down play on the drive that started with 2:47 left in the game. Richardson ran seven yards on a keeper on fourth-and-three from 44 of Dripping Springs to keep the Mustangs alive. The senior quarterback utilized his legs again on a run up the middle when he went crashing over a Dripping Springs defender for a first at the 11. Marble Falls was able to get in three more pass plays, but two incomplete passes on second and third down left the Mustangs with the field goal attempt. "I had total confidence in him, Dodge said. "He hit extra points and field goals early in the season and had a little lull, but we were confident in our kicking game. Marble Falls trailed 35-28 with 1:24 left in the third quarter when Dripping Springs Jobe Falcon scored on a 13-yard run. In the fourth quarter, junior J.T. Watson picked off a Kyle Johnson pass early in the quarter to set up the Mustangs tying drive. The Mustangs covered 54 yards in seven plays with Keith Jerome bulling up the middle for the final yard. The Mustangs benefited from a interference penalty on the drive. One of the biggest plays on the drive was a nine yard pass in the left flat to Ishiah Carson on a fourth-and-six play. In the third quarter, Jerome scored on a 41-yard swing pass and run out of the backfield down the sideline. The junior running back used his hands to keep his balance after getting hit a couple of times on the determined run. "After the feeling we had on homecoming, we werent going to left that happen again, said junior receiver Carson Bowen, one of five receivers for the Mustangs Friday night. Richardson completed 22 of 35 passes for 305 yards and had touchdown passes of 35 and 41 to Garrett Gray and 41 yards to Jerome. Richardson also scored on a five-yard run. Marble Falls outgained Dripping Springs, 470 to 388 in total yards. Dripping Springs had leads of 21-7, 28-21 and 35-28 in the game. The Tigers, a playoff team from this district a year ago with a 9-4 mark, fell to 3-6 overall and 0-5 in district. Dripping Springs catches Cedar Park in its finale. |

Day 1 - October 12, 2013 - Santa Cruz Island, Cerro Dragon
As soon as we disembarked we were welcomed by Galapagos marine iguanas at the dock; flamingos, black necked stilts and plovers on a tide pool kept feeding as we went by. The sun light quality was such that flamingos seemed unreal…

Day 2 - October 13, 2013 - Genovesa Island
In the afternoon walk along the lava flows and a strange bird of prey we mentioned before to our guests was finally found. The short-eared owl is the most impressive predator in Genovesa. It hunts during the entire day in search of small birds that use the crevices in the hardened lava as nesting ground. They are mainly Maderian and Band Rump Storm Pertrels.

Day 3 - October 14, 2013 - North Seymour & Santa Cruz Islands
We started with the surprise of Blue Footed Boobies in front of us resting over the rocks, and with many Iguanas also enjoying the sunlit formations. It was wonderful to see the vivid blue colors of their feet, they seemed to be saying "welcome to visit my home".

Day 4 - October 15, 2013 - San Cristobal Island
We reach the end of the trail as we literally run out of island being reminded of our location by a lone orange marker of the Ecuadorian Oceanographic Institute beyond which the open ocean will extend for almost 1000 km all the way to the western coast of South America and the Ecuadorian Mainland.

Day 5 - October 16, 2013 - San Cristobal Island
From the different viewpoints I saw the sunset on the opposite side of the town with beautiful colours, that was so romantic coming to the end of another special and different day in this paradise.

Day 6 - October 17, 2013 - Española Island
I had a very pleasant walk on a fine-grained sandy beach that gave me the feeling of having a foot massage. One of the highlights of the morning excursion was definitely the presence of baby sea lions. It's breeding season and I had the opportunity to see several newborns.

Day 7 - October 18, 2013 - Santa Cruz & South Plazas Island
On the Cliff, the landscape was offering the opportunity to see shearwaters gliding over the ocean and also the very noisy red billed tropicbirds. There was a group of bachelor sea lions at the opposite side, some were sleeping and some were rolling their heavy bodies on the rocks.

A 16-year old girl in Rocklin, CA was prohibited from using the Internet after 10pm by her parents. So she did what any teenager would do. She and a friend put sleep medication in a milkshake, drugged the parents, waited until they passed out, then went crazy on the interwebs.
