Go Right is another boulder problem on the All Thumbs Boulder. It is on the face first seen as appoaching from the highway, just left of the downclimb route by a tree. Start on the slabby face, grabbing two sidepulls just above waist height. Friction up and right to the topout.

text: I was thinking of veteran tough 4th line center for this season and moving forward. Today, i thought of Kyle Chipchura as an answer. While he does not have much offense in him, he has leadrship quality, defensively sound, and physical and even drop gloves odd nights. He is 27 yrs old and is UFA at the end of this season. coyotes is at 9th spot, they might not want to part with this guy. If we can get him though, he will be a solid 4th liner for long haul in my opinion. How about Regin for Chipchura sound to you guys?

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island — From more remains found as part of an investigation into a dead funeral home director to a decline in the state unemployment rate, here are five things to know in Rhode Island:
State health officials reported finding additional remains as part of an investigation of a former Providence funeral home owner who committed suicide last month. Cremated remains of 45 individuals have now been found in connection with the Pennine Funeral Home. Authorities this week also found three decomposed bodies in a Johnston storage unit that Pennine had rented: a man in a metal coffin, a woman in a cremation transport container and a baby boy in a padded chest. Six decomposed bodies were found at the funeral home in July.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Allan Fung filmed an ad about making Rhode Island "open for business" at a diner in Ohio — but he says the ad's message is what's important. Michael Pappas, of Tommy's Diner in Columbus, said Fung spent an hour filming at his restaurant last month. In the ad, the Cranston mayor says he'll stop "the perks, the powerful, the payoffs" and challenge the old way of doing things to make Rhode Island once again open for business. Fung is using an Ohio-based firm for advertising services.
A Little League team from Cumberland is making its second appearance in the World Series in three years. Cumberland American played its first game Friday night in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, against a team from Texas, losing 6-4. They face elimination in their second game Saturday night against Tennessee. The team earned a World Series berth in 2011 but was eliminated early. Cumberland Mayor Dan McKee says the team's 12- and 13-year-olds are the most popular people in town. "Just to be there twice in the last three years, it's just a tribute to the organization and the kids in it," he said.
Rhode Island's unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent in July, down two-tenths of a percentage point. That's the lowest it's been since June 2008. The state Department of Labor and Training said Rhode Island added 1,200 jobs and the number of unemployed fell by 1,100. Despite the drop, the jobless rate in Rhode Island is still significantly higher than the national rate, which stands at 6.2 percent.
The state Department of Corrections will no longer require a warrant to honor immigration detainers, pulling back from a policy instituted last month. The new policy, which Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed Thursday, applies to all executive agencies and requires them to honor detainers accompanied by judicial deportation or removal orders. Detainers are requests from federal immigration officials to hold individuals to take custody of them for potential violations. The initial change in policy came after federal courts ruled that detainers violated civil rights.

USA Update
Florida... amazing video of a mother driving a minivan into the ocean with her children inside. Lifeguards on Daytona Beach frantically ran in to rescue three children - ages three, nine and ten - who were trapped in the back of the van. Witnesses claim one of them was screaming that their mom was trying to kill them. No one was hurt, but the woman is now undergoing a psychiatric evaluation...
Louisiana... Mardi Gras celebrations are done on Bourbon Street. The annual Fat Tuesday celebration ends promptly at midnight each year, at which point officers sweep through the streets, letting revelers know the party is over. Despite being a gloomy and rainy day, tens of thousands showed up to the French Quarter for this year's party...
New York... two artists are getting in touch with their animalistic side, spending the next ten days living like hamsters. Called "In Orbit," the work aims to show human cooperation and trust.

I like Mike Vick as a player. He's very exciting and his highlights were always ones I wanted to watch when he was in Atlanta. Some of the games he had last year--the redskins, the giants and a few other games were spectacular.
He seemed like he finally had put it all together. Until later in the season...
Since the 2nd half of that Giant game last year he has been an above average runner and an Average QB. The result ? 1-4. And the lone win hes had has been against the Rams---who look to be one of the worst teams in the league.
Hes had his chance to put the team on his back time and time again and he flat out hasn't done it. Turnovers, missed throws, holding the ball too long. I think we can all agree Lesean Mccoy is one of the top 5 backs in the league. I'm not so sure he isn't top 3 if you factor in his pass catching ability.
The receivers ? Arguably the top combination of receivers in the game. Tight End is a little above average and I would say we have a damn good fullback.
The O line was not that bad today either. They are average at times for sure, but this isn't Chicago's O line.
If Brees or brady were on this team we would score 40 a game...every game.
So why are we not scoring points at will ?
I'm putting it on the play calling but also on Vick. He takes too long to read the defenses and has a little bit of happy feet in the pocket. Not to mention he is not very accurate over the last 5 games. (2011 and 2010)
Everyone is so quick to rag on Mcnabb...but look what he did with what he had to work with and look at what Vick is doing with an NFL all pro team on offense.
I think many fell in love with Vick after that Washington game and later in the Giants fame last year. He hasn't come close to those performances since. For all of the bullshit interviews I see with Vick on how much "better" hes gotten and just how much film he watches, I just don't see it on the field. Vick looks the part, he seems serious in his interviews and I WANT to believe that hes this great intellectual who studies film like a madman in addition to being an elite athlete, but I only see very small glimpses of that. For the most part I just see the same thing I have always seen with Vick...a guy who makes awesome runs and spectacular highlights, but beyond that a pretty average QB.

1. Students Build CO2 Scrubber
by Marcia Goodrich, senior writer
Komar Kawatra couldn't be prouder of the students on his research team. "We have developed a CO2 scrubber," he says. "It was designed at Michigan Tech and built at Michigan Tech by Michigan Tech students."
Kawatra, who chairs the chemical engineering department, has reason to be gratified by his proteges' efforts. An 11-foot bench-model smokestack packed with glass beads is percolating away in a lab. Near the top, a proprietary liquid dribbles down. From below, carbon dioxide bubbles up. By the time the gas reaches the top, fully half of the CO2 has been gobbled up by the liquid.
The process not only captures carbon, it binds it in a solid form, making an undisclosed product that can be used as a construction material. The liquid itself can be recovered and used again. The group has applied for a patent and hopes to build a pilot plant in cooperation with an industry partner, Carbontec Energy Corp.
Other scrubbers remove up to 90 percent of the carbon dioxide from a smokestack, Kawatra notes, but the liquid must be processed to strip away the carbon dioxide, which is generally compressed and stored. "This is a very expensive technique, which is probably why we do not see it commonly employed in industry," says PhD student Brett Spigarelli of Iron Mountain, a member of the research team.
The group is working to make the scrubber remove even more carbon dioxide. In the meantime, it offers a significant benefit to industry.
"Industry has a problem with CO2 capture and sequestration because it is an added cost with no direct benefit to them," Kawatra says. "But, if it is possible for industry to both capture CO2 and produce a product from the CO2 that they can sell, then they will be much more interested. Our goal is therefore to not only capture the CO2 at the lowest possible cost, but also to manufacture useful, marketable products."
Building the scrubber has been as much about education as research. In the beginning, Kawatra notes, the scrubber only removed 5 percent of the CO2, and the students were stymied. Then they had their first aha experienceand replaced their opaque pipe with clear plastic so they could see what was actually going on inside.
"You think research is going to be really complex and difficult," says Spigarelli. "Sometimes, it's just a matter of looking at things a little differently."
That small step led to big breakthroughs and, ultimately, to professional recognition. Their poster received second-place honors among the student entries at the 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers National Meeting, held in Salt Lake City.
The team included five chemical engineering undergraduates, Janelle Paddock, Paul Hagadone, Alison Springer-Wilson, Aliabbas Sherally and Russ Jungnitsch. Involving undergraduates in research does much more than prepare them for careers in academia, says Spigarelli. Research brings classroom lessons to life. "The sooner students can get familiar with these processes, the better prepared they are for the workplace."
Kawatra's graduate team members are Justin and Josh Carlson of Escanaba, Joe Halt of Calumet and Urvashi Srivastava of India.
"I have four Yoopers working for me," Kawatra says, smiling broadly. "We're one family, and it's a lot of fun to work with them."
2. Women's Basketball Ranked No. 5 Heading into Postseason
by Wes Frahm, director of athletic communications and marketing
Michigan Tech moved up two more spots to No. 5 in this week's USA TODAY/ESPN Division II Top 25 Coaches' Poll. The Huskies will spend their ninth straight week ranked in the nation's top 10 after pushing their record to 23-2 last week.

The first Midsummer scent I bring you comes from the lovely Ankica Milic of Bellatrix Perfumes.
She provided me the following to reflect on as I sampled her scent, Titania:
Out of this wood do not desire to go:What a lovely choice of words for an artistic meditation. I believe, on this passage alone, I could plan an entire lovely summer wedding. Titania's woods are in many ways like love itself – once ensnared, it is a place one not only cannot leave, but does not wish to flee, for how sweet are its tender entrapments!
Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no.
I am a spirit of no common rate;
The summer still doth tend upon my state;
And I do love thee: therefore, go with me;
I'll gve thee fairies to attend on thee,
And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,
And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep;
And I will purge thy mortal grossness so
That thou shalt like an airy spirit go.
Notes: Rosewood, Pink Pepper, Mentha peperita, Tuberose, Rose damascene abs., Neroli, Iris, Labdanum, Violet leaf, Orris butter, Sandal album, Angelica root, Ambrette, Oak moss, Patchouli.
The scent, then, to me is less a mediation on the Queen of Fae herself, than on that blessed and magickal place that lives in our hearts, the haze of love that feels like the moment between sleeping and wakefulness. A drowsing dreamy state, where one might feel the gentle press of hands and gentler kiss of brow and cheek, and even in that unconsciousness, sigh for the happiness of it.
In that respect, Ankica has done her material a turn considerably more than fair. The scent is one that eyes closed and listening to Shakespeare's words, might conjure in one's mind images of the characters venturing into the woods that fateful night.
I cannot say that it is much like anything else I have tried, though I see some similarity to both strongly woody scents and some nerolis. The opening is full of pepper and menthe, which quickly retreats and folds strongly toward rosewood, oak moss, and patchouli. Violet leaf lurks, and rose as well. I give Ankica true credit for managing such a gentle patchouli. Usually it is a note so overwhelming I have to struggle to catch anything else. I do not get any iris, sadly, but I do not find it a loss here.
To give a sense of the scent beyond my own expression, let me give some other comparisons. It has some in common with Dana English Leather, but it less sharp featured and masculine than this cousin. Compared to Jo Malone Orange Blossom, Ankica's scent is less flowery and sweet and more of smooth wood, more inclined toward Fair Titania's hidden home than she herself. It is not so green as to share any relation to Roxana Illuminated Perfumes GreenWitch, though the Queen of Fae be both green and bewitching. It is very lovely, and makes a truly sweet scent for this project.
I hope Ankica will make it available when she chooses to launch her line. I'd like to own it. It fills a hole in my collection I did not know existed until I smelled the scent. And in this respect, it is quite like finding love when for love one seeks least.
That may be Titania and Oberon's greatest trick here, and it is a good one.

But once you've lived awhile, some of those rectangular pieces of grass look a little dumpy and iconic IMHO.
John S., you said just exactly I was thinking. Oskee-wow-wow.

Camp: Cadence's worst nightmare...
"Cadence, we're here", my mom said.
I sighed and sat up, tired from the long ride. I'd been laying down in the back seat of my mom's car, waiting for the moment where I'd be able to get out and walk around for the first time in two hours. Monty was asleep in the front passenger seat, which she had reclined as far back as it would go. I slapped the top of her head, waking her up. Her eyes flew open and she stared at the roof of the car.
"I was awake", she mumbled.
I rolled my eyes and opened the door, getting out. There were people everywhere, so it seemed. Most of them were around my age, and the rest were counselors. I opened Monty's door for her and she eagerly stumbled out. She took a deep breath of fresh air and leaned against the car. "If these people would just stop talking and screaming, it'd be heaven", she said, grinning.
One of the counselors was directing everyone who'd just arrived into a building for registration. Monty grabbed my arm and pulled me through the seemingly endless mass of people, explaining a bunch of stuff along the way. I didn't really hear anything except the fact that we'd be able to relax for a bit after we found out where we were staying. We reached the mostly empty building and went inside. It was so much cooler, and I almost slumped against the wall in relief.
They had separated everyone into two lines. Those who's last names began with 'A' through 'M' were on one side, and 'N' through 'Z' was on the other. That's where Monty and I got split up. The 'N' through 'Z' line was so much shorter, so I had to wait for what felt like eternity while they found someone on their list and told them their cabin number. After I finally got through that line, I had to go and sit in a chair, having some strange counselor check my hair for lice. I got to pass on the line for medications, since I didn't take any. Then, somehow making it through everything faster than Monty (I think one of the kids must have actually had lice or something...), I got my camp shirt and went back out to the car.
Within thirty seconds of leaving the building, Monty was running behind me, trying to catch up. "Cadence! Don't you dare abandon me with a bunch of strangers!" she called, slightly infuriated.
I smiled and went to the trunk of the car and opened it, starting to unload our stuff. I tossed one of Monty's bags to her and she caught it, almost falling over in the process. My mom stayed in the car, waiting for me to finish getting everything out. I only had one extremely large duffel bag, as well as my bedding and tote. Monty had about the same, but everything was still fucking heavy. I succeeded in pulling our bags out and closed the trunk of the car.
My mom got out and came over to me, pulling me into a hug. I tensed, waiting for her to let go. "I'll see you in a few weeks", she said quietly. I nodded and pulled away. "Yep. You will", I answered coldly. I picked up my duffel bag. "Tell Dad that I miss him."
She nodded and turned to get back in the car. I ignored her and put my tote bag over my shoulder, managing to pick up my bedding with my other hand. Monty grabbed the rest of her stuff and smiled at my mom, attempting a small wave. "Thanks for the ride, Mrs. D."
I started walking towards the cabins. "You don't have to be nice to her", I mumbled to Monty.
She shrugged. "I don't have to shun her, either. God, Cadence. You can be such a bitch sometimes. She was just telling her only daughter goodbye."
I spotted our cabin and gestured to it. "Look. I have no reason to treat her like family when she doesn't want to act like she's part of our family in the first place." Monty walked ahead of me, sighing.
"I'm just saying... she's still your mom."
I rolled my eyes as we reached the cabin. "I don't care. Just like she doesn't."
Monty stopped me before we went inside. "She cares, Cadence. She misses her daughter. You won't even look at her anymore. Why don't you think about how she feels before you pull shit like that again?" She turned and stepped inside the cabin. "We're in luck... we have first choice at beds."
I sighed and went inside as well. ""I'm guessing that's good?"
She turned and smiled. "I did say that we're in luck, didn't I?" She walked to the bunk bed closest to the back wall. She tossed her bag in the corner next to it. "Top or bottom?" she asked.
I shrugged. "Bottom, I guess..."
Monty nodded and took my bag from my hands, setting it on my bed. "You'll wanna make sure you've got your bunk claimed. Everyone loves having a bottom bunk, and they won't hesitate to take one if there's nothing on it. So don't just set your stuff down next to it, 'kay?"
I stared at her, confused. I had no clue what the hell I was supposed to do in a place like this. Monty had gone a to camp twice, so I was definitely glad to have her around. Someone else entered the small cabin and threw their stuff on a top bunk, then started climbing the ladder. I glanced over at the girl. I couldn't see her face since she had the hood of her sweatshirt pulled over her head, concealing her for the most part. She ignored me and Monty, and began to make her bed.
Monty smiled and rolled her eyes, taking a step closer to me. "Some of the girls are like that. They won't wanna talk to you. You have to talk first, if you wanna get anywhere... gimme a second and I'll show you", she said quietly.
I waited patiently, hoping we could leave the cabin when she did whatever she was gonna do. Monty unzipped her bag and started rummaging through it. She finally produced two cans of Pepsi and handed me one. She looked over at the girl, who had just started putting her blanket over her sheets. Monty walked over to the girl's bunk. "So, what're you into?" she asked, breaking the girl's silence.
The girl lifted her head and looked at Monty, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Look. I'm being straightforward here. What are you into?"
The girl sighed and sat down. "I don't understand what you're asking me."
Monty sighed and leaned against the girl's bed. "I get that it's a personal question, but Jesus..."
"Could you rephrase it? Then maybe I'd get it."
Monty opened up her Pepsi and took a sip. "So I take it you don't know the basics of humanity", she said. She paused for a moment, and I anticipated hearing what she was going to say. "In life, there's different types of people. Everyone has their preferences. There's homosexuality, bisexuality, heterosexuality, bestiality, necrophilia... so, I'll ask you again: what are you into?"
The girl's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "I- I.... I'm...."
Monty grinned and looked back at me. "And that, my dear Cadence, is what you call breaking the ice."
I stared at her in complete surprise. Monty seemed so different in this atmosphere. I guess it was because we would most likely never see these people again. Monty turned back to the stuttering girl. "Sorry about that. It's her first year here and I'm showing her how to get to know people."
The girl loosened up a bit and nodded. "Okay? But why did you ask me that?"
Monty shrugged and smiled. "It was just to get your attention. And I promise I will never say anything like that around you again."
The girl giggled, making her blue eyes sparkle. "Alright. I'm Lily Shapiro, by the way. And you are...?"
"Montgomery Scott. Call me Monty. Or Scottie. I'll answer to either one", she said, chuckling. "And the wallflower back there is Cadence DeCarlo."
I flashed Lily a quick smile before turning to Monty. "Would you mind if I took a walk before everyone else gets here?" Monty shook her head, so I pulled my journal out of my tote and exited the cabin, jumping down the two stairs. The weather was warm, but it could have been a lot worse. I reached my hand behind my head and let my hair down before I started looking for a decent place to write.
I walked around for a few minutes, every place I passed occupied by someone. I finally found a somewhat creative hiding place. One of the generators that was hidden behind some bushes just before the trees started getting dense was the perfect location to hide. I hopped up onto the generator, the metal burning my skin a little.
I opened my notebook and started writing, letting my feelings pour out onto the paper, as I normally did. I didn't get to express much, though. Monty was looking for me within ten minutes. I slid off the edge and started walking down the sidewalk. Monty spotted me. "Cadence! We've got a camp meeting! Get your ass moving!"
I smiled to myself and rolled my eyes. Maybe this wouldn't exactly kill me...
After the meeting, we got to hang out in the cabin for a while. Everyone else who was bunking with us had gotten there. I hadn't really gotten to talk to any of them, but I knew I would later anyway. But so far, the only interaction I'd gotten was a girl in an Escape The Fate shirt asking me what time it was. Not what I would consider an intelligent conversation.
We'd survived until dinner on small talk, so standing in line waiting to get food was a little awkward. Monty and I talked a little, mostly about weird little things. Lily had mentioned that one of the male counselors was her older brother, who was in his second year of college. She pointed him out when he walked in the cafeteria, and a few of the girls actually thought he was sexy. I thought it was disturbing to fantasize about a twenty year old man.
The girls in front of us were chatting about music and some book that a few of them were reading. All I knew was that I had never felt more tired in my life. The girls started grabbing their trays, and I glanced at the choices of food. Nothing looked very appetizing, so I didn't pick up a tray. I decided just to grab an apple when we got to the end of the line.
As soon as the line progressed more, Monty ducked out of line. "I'll go save us some seats in a corner. I'm guessing you won't be comfortable with everyone else tonight", she said, smiling.
I nodded. "Thanks, Monty." After five minutes, I was able to carefully pick through their weak selection of fruit until I found something semi-edible. I ducked out of line as well, and looked around the room for Monty. She was sitting in a far corner, like she'd said. I started weaving through the tables and walking towards her until I was tripped and fell flat on my face.
I cried out as I hit my arm on a chair as I went down. Within seconds, I heard a bunch of guys laughing and someone quickly pull their chair out as I tried to pull myself up. Someone knelt down next to me and hold their hand out. "Why don't you let me help you up before you get pushed back down onto the floor?" asked the owner of said hand.
I sighed in defeat and placed my hand in the one that was outstretched. He pulled me up, and I barely had to move. I froze and stared up at him as he broke into a smile of realization. "Cadence, you didn't tell me..." he trailed off, still holding my hand.
Frank's voice cut in. "Gee, come on! Give up the sentiment! It's disgusting!"
I pulled my hand back and chuckled awkwardly. "I- I didn't know you guys were gonna be here."
Frank turned around to face me. "That's right. Because I love the element of surprise. Having fun yet, Cadie?"
I shot him a look and took a step back from Gerard. "Monty's waiting for me", I said, not removing my gaze from his hazel eyes.
Gerard nodded and continued smiling. "I figured. I'll see you later then."
I didn't respond, I just gently pushed past him and walked as fast as I possibly could to the table where my best friend was sitting. She was peacefully eating her dinner, not knowing what the hell had just happened to me. As soon as I reached the table, I slammed my hands down on it, rattling her tray. She looked up at me, confused. "Cadence..."
I was almost ready to cry. The last thing I needed was to deal with nonstop Frank. He made my life miserable every chance he got. "Frank's here", I said in a hushed tone, as if it were secret information.
She peered around me to survey the cafeteria. "I don't see him..."
I frustratedly pulled out a chair and threw myself onto it. "I don't care if you don't see him. He's here." I held out my arm and gestured to the red mark that was already forming into a bruise. "He tripped me and I hit my arm on some kid's chair. And he's probably sitting over there with his friends mocking me as we speak."
Monty sighed. "Dude, I'm sorry. I thought this would be good for you. But now that Frank's here..."
I was silent. The only thing I had wanted was to enjoy myself. I wouldn't get to see my dad, so that was all I could do. And now Frank was going to fucking kill me with his antics. All I wanted at that moment was to go home. I didn't want to be there anymore. Not even with Gerard around. It wasn't worth it. I stood up and pushed the chair in, turning from the table and walking away.
"Cadence!" Monty called after me.
I stopped and glanced back at her. "Just... leave me alone right now." I stalked out of the building, trying to forget everything. Since almost everyone was in the cafeteria, I was pretty much alone outside. Alone with myself. That gave me more time to think about things.
Thinking just made my life worse. The only thing in the entire world that I wanted was a hug from my dad. Not my mom, not Monty. My dad. I wanted him to tell me to cheer up, and that it'd all be okay after a while.
But I wouldn't get that for a long time.
'Kay... it's 4:30 am and I need some sleep. If I didn't, I would keep going with this. The next chapter probably won't skip anything, and it'll just pick up from where I left it. And I just wanted to say (so it didn't sound as bad as it might seem) that the whole 'homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, bestiality or necrophilia' thing has actually happened to one of my friends at camp. It was hilarious when it happened, and I was there to witness how awkward it was, too. I just didn't want anyone to take offense at that.

(CNN) - Six million people are expected to pay a penalty for not having health insurance in 2016.
That's a big jump from two years ago when the estimate was four million.
Under the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as "Obamacare," Americans must be insured starting in 2014. If not, they'll have to pay a penalty.
The estimate of six million is from the Congressional Budget office and Joint Taxation Office.
Why the increase? The groups blame the weak economy. With a high unemployment rate and lower salaries, not everyone will be getting coverage from an employer and they might not be able to afford buying it on their own.
New legislation is also a factor. This summer's Supreme Court decision gives states the option to expand Medicaid only if they want to. That could leave some of the poorest Americans uninsured.
So just how much is the penalty? In 2014, it will be no more than one percent of income, or $285 per family, whichever is greater.
That penalty will rise, though. By 2016, it jumps to 2.5 percent of income or about $2,000 per family.
Still most of the uninsured won't have to pay the fee. Those with very low incomes who don't have to file federal tax returns will be exempt. So will members of certain religious groups.

Kap Arkona

Kap Arkona
The World > Europe > Germany > Rügen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Arkona (German: Kap Arkona) is a cape on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Cape Arkona is the tip of the Wittow peninsula, just a few kilometres north of the Jasmund National Park.
The temple fortress of Arkona, today called Jaromarsburg, was the religious centre of the Slavic Rani in the Early Middle Ages. The temple was dedicated to the deity Svantevit, who was depicted with four heads. The temple housed an important horse oracle in Slavic times, where the behaviour of a white stallion could decide peace or war (horse oracles have a long history in this region, being already attested in the writings of Tacitus).
Today, only about a quarter of the old fortress is left, as the chalk-promontory it was built on is slowly eroded by the Baltic. Rescue excavations are in progress.
The fortress at Arkona was destroyed in 1168 by Danish invaders (see Absalon). The sanctuary of Slavic god Svantevit was also destroyed. This event preceded the forced Christianization of the region's inhabitants.
There are two old lighthouses at the cape, one constructed in 1827, the other one in 1902. The former is one of the oldest still existing lighthouses of the Baltic Sea. It was constructed by the famous architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
In 1927, the cape's name was given to a German liner, the SS Cap Arcona.
Prior to the German reunification, Arkona was often considered the most northern point in the German Democratic Republic. However, the site Gellort is located about one kilometre northwest.
Das Wahrzeichen Kap Arkona ist außerhalb des Fischerdorfes Weiß und gehört zur Gemeinde Putgarten. Es...
Gellort is the most northern point of Ruegen. It belongs to Kap Arkona, an up to 45 meters high cliff...
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

I cannot wait to try this place. Your review is awesome! It makes me want to run out and try it today!
The wait has been long but Tracy Clayton has finally graced us with a new Louisville restaurant review. This time she visited the brand new Down One Bourbon Bar.
My friends and I like to celebrate things. Promotions, good hair days, good news. Days that end with the letter Y. And it was one of those days-that-end-in-Y celebration that landed us at Down One Bourbon Bar last week. We were tired of our regular haunts and were in the mood for something new.
It was a Thursday, I think–I can't be sure since there are quite a few days that end in the letter Y to confuse–and Down One Bourbon had recently opened. And by "recently opened," I mean that it was just celebrating its fourth or fifth day on earth. The umbilical cord was still attached and everything. The place is nestled away among the trees at the corner of 3rd and West Main downtown on historic Whiskey Row, which is quite an appropriate location for a bourbon bar, for obvious reasons. I wouldn't trust a tequila bar on a place called Whiskey Row. Or a bourbon bar on Tequila Row. I wouldn't trust ANYTHING on Tequila Row, because Tequila Row sounds like where good decisions and respectability go to die.
The Down One Bourbon Bar experience begins as soon as you step under the awning. Beneath it, you find a set of understated aluminum steps made fancier with a string of lights beneath each one. Waiting for you at the bottom of the steps is a glass wall full of bourbon. This is foreshadowing of the most awesome kind–if all this bourbon is in your face before you even reach the doorknob, just imagine what's waiting for your face inside.
And what's waiting for you inside is amazing décor, tasty food, interesting cocktails, a hundred billion different bourbons, and one of the best wait staffs I've experienced in Louisville in quite some time.
The Down One décor is crisp, clean and pristine; everything looks like it was spit shined and buffed to a high sheen by the toothbrushes of a thousand army recruits who couldn't pull their weight in PT. With its rich mahogany tables and shelving, amber lighting, and that floor-to-ceiling glass wall, it feels kind of like you're inside an actual bottle of bourbon. Finally! After years of wishing that I could just slip inside a bottle of Woodford and backstroke my cares away, I can sort of kind of do that!
I walked in and, not seeing a hostess station, asked one of the passing waitresses if I should just go ahead and grab a table. She said that if I liked, she could grab me a seat in their speakeasy, and who on earth is prepared to turn down an invitation into a speakeasy?? Not me, that's who. She led me to a small, intimate, really fool dining room inside a telephone booth.
You're reading that right. A telephone booth. It was inside a telephone booth.
Okay it wasn't actually inside a telephone booth, but you have to walk through a façade of a vintage, old timey telephone booth to get into the speakeasy. As cool as the room was–the shelves, books, and décor give the feel of being in someone's den in the kind of house that the board game Clue was set in–I asked for a table out in the general population; there was another couple inside the speakeasy room and the level of intimacy in there is such that I felt like we were all on a date. I didn't even know those folks' last names. It was just a little too soon. I don't like to rush into things.
She led me out of the telephone booth and into the caring arms of Ryan, our server for the evening. Ryan was great. He took the time to answer all my questions and was very tolerant of my terrible jokes. He was as professional as he was friendly, and that is what makes Down One Bourbon Bar work for me: it is a delightful, perfectly balanced mix of fancy pantsness and down-home dining. The drama of the glass wall and sterling mahogany bar is tempered by the paper-lined bowls and baskets holding your food and the plastic silverware kept on the tables (not the kind that your Aunt Alberta brings to your family reunion, though–the nice ones). And it works. Yes, it's snazzier than your local dive, but it's still familiar. Down One Bourbon Bar strikes me as a place you can go to let your hair down, drink a little too much, and still be the classiest person in your family (depending on your family, this may or may not be a great feat, but hopefully you know what I mean).
The mark of a great bar isn't just good drink. It's a good affordable drink, and good food. Down One has all of this stuff. The menu is eclectic, but accessible, offering quirky spins on your favorite meals, like whiskey chili and a roasted turkey sandwich with granny smith apples and cranberry mayo. As a native Kentuckian, the only thing I like more than bourbon is pork, so there was no question that the Three Little Pigs sandwich–featuring bacon, pulled pork, and roasted pork belly–was for me. And boy, was it ever. Literally. I don't know who planned the menu, but whoever did it obviously held conference with my taste buds before pulling this one together. It was perfect–the bacon is what really put it over the top for me. It was crispy and flavorful and just chewy enough to linger as your tongue goes skipping around to play with the other kinds of pork on the bun. I ordered braised collard greens as a side, because as a Kentuckian, the only thing I like more than bourbon and pork is collard greens. I'd never had braised collard greens before–I tend to prefer mine cooked near to mush for hours on my grandmother's stove, slathered in and flavored by various pig parts. The first thing I noticed about Down One's greens is that they looked like actual, whole leaves. My grandmother would have looked at them and said "them ain't done yet," and I worried briefly about what they'd taste like, but one bite in and my fears were eased. They had an amazing texture and a slightly sweet, slightly flavor. What a perfect compliment to a sandwich full of pork.
The whiskey chili and roasted turkey sandwich got equally glowing reviews from my accomplices, by the way, but before we even looked at the food menu, we were diving into the drinks. In addition to over 100 different brands and types of bourbon, Down One also has a collection of specialty cocktails and martinis. The first thing I noticed was the prices. First of all, let me say how refreshing it is that there were actually prices on the menu. My general thought about a menu with no prices listed is that everything is too expensive, but Down One's prices are exceedingly reasonable–they get more expensive the fancier you get, of course, but for an easy-to-please girl like me, the $6 Bourbon Smash (Jim Beam, mint, lemon, and Madagascar vanilla) was right up my alley. After some trial and error, I decided on that particular drink as my favorite–and boy, was there ever some trial and error.
The first Bourbon Smash I ordered was far too sour for me, so I had to send it back, not to have it made over but to have a bit more vanilla added to it. Next, I decided to try the $9 El Diablo, made with Mezcal, lime, crème de cassis, and ginger beer. Aside from the ginger beer, I had no idea what else was in the drink, but I decided to be adventurous. And when my decision proved to be a bad one (I've since learned that Mezcal is not for me), I sent it back and ordered another Bourbon Smash.
Along with the Bourbon Smash came Levi, who introduced himself as the man who invented all the drinks that I apparently hated so much. I vomited a ton of apologies and explained that I just didn't know what I was getting myself into. Here, Levi kindly walked my friends and I through the drink menu, recommending things that, going forward, I may like and suggesting some things to stay away from. For a bourbon and coke girl like myself, this was much appreciated; it's not that I'm not a cultured drinker, you understand; it's just that there's some really fancy stuff on the menu. In addition to the impromptu Classy Cocktails for Dummies class, Levi also made the table a complimentary drink–he brought us a Bee's Knees (Bombay Gin, honey, lemon, and egg white) after we all made a collective "eww, gross!" face at the thought of putting an egg white in some liquor and drinking it. And on top of all that, offered to take the El Diablo off my bill, which he completely didn't have to do; it wasn't his fault that I had no idea what I was doing. But he did, and I'm certain that his patience and generosity made everything taste better.
So, we loved Down One. Since they'd just opened earlier that week, one of the waitresses explained, they didn't have any happy hour specials just yet. But once they do, I fully expect Down One to give Eddie Merlot's happy hour, which is my current favorite, a run for their money. The food is definitely as good, the drinks are as fun, and the atmosphere is bursting with character. And if the prices get any more reasonable, I may just register a change of address at the post office and live there.
If all that wasn't enough to seduce my allegiance, Levi and Ryan made the entire experience one that I didn't want to leave. Down One Bourbon Bar is an amazing mix of sass, grit, pizzazz and comfort. Happy birthday, Down One; here's to many more.

In this series of hands-on articles, creative business consultant, Sinead Mac Manus, delves into the world of Web 2.0 and social media to offer practical advice on how theatre companies and artists can harness its potential to build their profiles, communicate to audiences and develop their creative business on and offline. (some of the tools will help facilitate offline business as well)
Web 2.0 and Social Media
The terms Web 2.0 and social media are often used to describe developments on the Internet over the past five years, but what do these terms actually mean and of what use are they to artists and theatre companies? Web 2.0 marks a shift in the use and purpose of the Internet, moving from a static, information repository to an interactive space where sharing and collaboration is key. Social media can be broadly defined as the sum of online tools that facilitate communication and multimedia content sharing; it encompasses technologies and platforms such as blogs, podcasts and social networking sites to name a few.
If we consider the first generation of the web (Web 1.0) to be 'read only', aside from its key informational role, its application to theatre companies and performances seemed limited to advertising. In contrast, Web 2.0 is all about reaching out to your audience and collaborating with your peers – it's perfect for creative companies. So if you're willing to invest a little time, you'll find that web tools and social media can help you build your company profile, both online and off, communicate to your audiences, develop new income streams and streamline your business, all at little to no cost.
The Series
Join me over the coming months in a practical exploration of all things web. This Practical Guide to Theatre and Web 2.0 will be a series of 'how to' articles covering a wide range of tools and topics including websites, blogs, social networking, collaboration software, microblogging, project management, creativity, publishing, email, multimedia, productivity and organisation. Each article will focus on a particular topic or tool, explaining how it works in practical terms, its potential for use in the theatre industry and, drawing on examples from across the creative industries where the Web has been put to good use.
Starting Points
Before we get into the practical guides, I want to highlight some off and online starting points to get you thinking 'technology'. A good offline source is The Guardian's Technology supplement on Thursdays (and its online blog) and The Times technology blog. ReadWriteWeb and TechCrunch cover developments in web technology, profiling and reviewing new internet companies and services. Closer to home, Lateral Action is a blog focusing on the meeting point between creativity and productivity. Written by the talented Mark McGuinness, Tony Clark and Brian Clark, it often talks about the potential for creative people to use the web.
The Future
A recent assessment of the "online presences maintained by Arts Council England's regularly funded organisations" (RFOs) revealed that many arts organisations are beginning to embrace the potential offered by digital technology but that there is a clear opportunity for the arts to further develop their digital provision for the benefit of companies and audiences. With 'Digital Opportunity' being one of the current four priorities of ACE, now is a great time for arts organisations to get on board.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and is dedicated to "ideas worth spreading. Visit the site for the latest presentations on developments in the world of technology; such as Web guru Kevin Kelly's entertaining and enlightening talk 'The Next 5,000 Days of the Web'. Kelly reminds us that the web as we know it is still very young but the developments and progress we have seen in its first 5,000 days has been staggering. I truly believe that we have only just started on our Web journey and the road ahead is exciting and paved with opportunities for creativity and business.

text: Well play time is over after our loss against the Wolves. Now it's time for the Suns to get their killer instinct goin against our hated foe, the Spurs. Winning against the Spurs will prove to everyone that we are indeed the real deal. But more importantly a win on Thursday will in essence get the Suns goin on the track to prepare for the playoffs. Certainly Dallas in the Conference Finals is the ultimate test (assuming we reach that far off course) but it could indeed be likely that we will face the Spurs in the second round. Needless to say that matchup would be quite a slugfest, and we need to prove to ourselves on Thursday that we can own the Spurs not only in the regular season but 3 months from now as well. Let me know what you think of Thursday night's game, which (bar the remaining Dallas games) could be one of the most important showdowns of the season.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Authorities arrested a retired Montgomery County football coach Tuesday on charges he raped a 16-year-old girl.
Phillip Carter Horsey, 70, taught and coached football at Montgomery Central High School and has a stadium named in his honor.
He is charged with rape and sexual battery in a grand jury indictment issued in April.
According to a report in the Leaf Chronicle, Horsey is accused of digitally penetrating a 16-year-old girl and having sexual contact with her by fondling her breasts in March.
Horsey began working for the Montgomery County School System in 1971. He retired during the 1997-98 school year and served as head football coach, the paper reported.
Montgomery Central High School's football field, Phillip Horsey Field, is named in his honor.
Horsey is scheduled to appear in court next month.
