Legislative News
Tougher DUI legislation draws support from both parties, but can it draw money?
By Anthony Bowe
Colorado DUI accidents resulting in death dipped in 2009, and two state lawmakers are aiming to sustain that pattern.
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, and Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, will introduce competing legislation this year that would stiffen penalties for those repeatedly arrested for driving under the influence.
Legislators play musical committee chairs
By Leslie Jorgensen
Most of the last-minute changes in 2010 General Assembly committee assignments weren't really unexpected — but a couple of changes in the House Agriculture Committee made some Republicans feel like they'd just landed on the floor in a game of musical chairs.
House Majority Leader Terrance Carroll swiftly uprooted a couple of Democrats after their rebellious actions made headlines.
Liston bill aims to ease Capitol entry crunch
By Cindy Brovsky
If Rep. Larry Liston's proposal is approved, the long security lines into the state Capitol could become much shorter by March.
Carroll sets sights on criminal justice reform
By Cindy Brovsky
With more looming budget cuts and the economy expected to take the spotlight in the 2010 session, Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll is determined not to let criminal justice reform disappear in the shadows.
"The more we can stop people from returning to jail or prison and give them alternatives to be productive, the more money we will have in the General Fund for higher education, K through 12 education and jobs," he said.
Budgetary concerns will affect most issues at Capitol
By Leslie Jorgensen
"Jobs, jobs, jobs!," said Gov. Bill Ritter of the goals in the Legislative session that begins Wednesday, Jan. 13. Ritter pitches a "glass half full" economic picture of Colorado — job creation is up, and the number of unemployed is down.
Lawmakers look at raiding gaming fund
By Leslie Jorgensen
Colorado gaming communities have benefited from one-arm bandits over the past decade, but if a bill passes in this legislative session, the machines won't be spitting grant dollars this year — and maybe not for several years.
Ritter trumpets bill to aid the arts industry
By Anthony Bowe
Colorado's surging arts and creative industries may be bolstered by more jobs and expansion thanks to three new pieces of legislation soon to be introduced, according to Gov. Bill Ritter.
40 legislators given Common Sense award
By Brad Jones
Tort reform, an issue absent from the center stage of national politics in recent years, has surged back as a key issue in the congressional debate over America's health care system.
It's also returning to the spotlight in Colorado, where the Colorado Civil Justice League, established in 2001 as "the only statewide coalition dedicated exclusively to ending abusive lawsuits and creating a fair civil justice system in Colorado" feted state lawmakers at a reception Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Palazzo Verdi in Greenwood Village.

Gory TABOR battle shaping up
By Jason Kosena
In Colorado politics, it's all about TABOR... again.

Study Abroad
Being in contact with international students not only improves American students' foreign language and cultural skills but also has a positive impact on their cognitive development, Businessweek reports citing a recent study run out of Duke University. The study—which is based on a 2005 online survey conducted among 5,600 members of the graduating classes of 1985, 1995 and 2000 from four highly selective U.S.
Acknowledging the impact international students have on their economies, countries worldwide are increasing their efforts to boost the "stay rate" of international students—the number of talented international students who decide to immigrate to their host country for longer periods of time, or even permanently, in order to live and work there—a recent ICEF Monitor article reports.
In response to the current political unrest and protests held in Turkey, many U.S. universities are ending their study abroad programs or are arranging alternative plans for their students currently on programs in the country, reports USA Today.
As the Alliance reported last week, a Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) report revealed that international graduate school applications only grew by one per cent this year. A major factor in this slowing rate is a five per cent decline in applications from China, which had seen double-digit growth for the previous few years.
The decreasing number of international graduate student applications to U.S. campuses may cause the international education "bubble" to pop, potentially harming the U.S. academic and knowledge communities, according to a blog post published in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Turkey has become the top European country to send students to the U.S. for study, leaving behind Germany and Britain, which now rank 2nd and 3rd in terms of sending, the New York Times reports.
The number of applications from prospective international students to U.S. graduate schools grew a mere 1 per cent in 2013, marking the smallest growth in these applications over the last eight years, a new Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) report shows. For comparison, the number of international grad school applications rose 9 per cent in 2012, and 11 per cent in 2011.
According to the New York Times, the European Commission recently introduced a new directive in order to lower bureaucratic hurdles for the approximately 200,000 students and researchers visiting from outside the European Union every year.
The commission said that the new rules would mandate maximum visa-processing periods of 60 days, easier transfers between member countries, and access to jobs during the stay.
Intercultural skills are more important than ever in today's business world, a recent study by Ipsos Public Affairs, the third largest market research company in the world, Booz Allen Hamilton a leading strategy and technology consulting firm and the British Council reveals.
A Canadian government panel recommended in August that the country double its number of international students by 2022, the New York Times reports.
Currently, 100,000 international students are studying in Canada, triple the number who studied there in 2000.

Paul Rand designs
Link: http://designrelated.com/inspiration/view/mattmatt/entry/1580/paul-rand
Peretz Rosenbaum would grow up to become an icon in the field of graphic design, better known as Paul Rand.
"...Rand did not set out to reform graphic design, he just wanted to be the best at what he did. Reared in the commercial art production departments — or `bullpens' — of New York's publishing and advertising industries, he understood the demands of the marketplace and accepted that design was a service not an end, or an art, in itself. Yet he was critical of the poor aesthetic standards that prevailed, maintaining that everyday life — especially commercial art — could be enriched by the artist's touch. He modelled himself on avant-garde artists, such as painter Paul Klee, designer El Lissitzky and architect Le Corbusier, each of whom advocated a timeless spirit in design..."
—excerpt from Paul Rand monograph by Steven Heller
In my small collection of Paul Rand related items, I have a book that is said to be from Paul Rand's personal library. The first edition copy of Modern Book Design by Ruari McLean (c.1951), has a personalized inscription and an extra notation in the index. The pencil notations are from Helen Federico. When I purchased the book the seller provided this note about the history:
Helen Federico worked in Weintraub & Co.'s art department (1943-1951) under Paul Rand. And the Rands (Paul and Anne) and the Federicos (Helen and Gene) dined regularly together. Helen Federico would be a major source for Steve Heller's Paul Rand monograph. Gene Federico worked for Doyle Dane Bernbach (1951-54) and he went on to create a substantial body of work and received many graphic design honors.
Here is a book jacket design and a couple of paperback cover designs by Paul Rand.
In 1941 Paul Rand designed the logo for the Coronet brand. I'm not sure of the date for the below giant brandy snifter featuring Paul Rand's design and illustrative character logo.

Remembering CBS Design Legend, Lou Dorfsman

Art Directors: Louis Dorfsman /Kurt Weihs, Designer: Kurt Weihs (found in the 41st Annual of Advertising & Editorial Design /1962 The Art Directors Club)
more on Lou Dorfsman:
Here is a video from 2001 on the history of the CBS logo, in which Lou Dorfsman is interviewed:
"Considering how important graphic design is to the life of our visual culture, it's depressing how casually we treat work that would properly be considered iconic in any other field. The astonishing typographical wall that Lou Dorfsman designed for the CBS cafeteria is an irreplaceable piece of design history. The efforts of The Center for Design Study to restore this virtuoso piece of graphic design is well worth supporting, not least of all as an example of how to show proper respect to the artifacts upon which our profession's legacy is built."

George Nelson (1908-1986) and the Pretzel Chair
"n the 1950s, George Nelson and his New York office developed a series of individually expressive seating furniture, a number of which have long established themselves as classics. In 1952, predating the famous Coconut Chair or the Marshmallow Sofa, he designed a chair made of moulded plywood originally referred to simply as the "Laminated Chair". The bold and elegant curve of the seat back and armrest soon earned it the nickname Pretzel Chair..." —from Vitra
The Pretzel Chair is by no means representative of George Nelson's full body of work. He began his career as an architect. But when there weren't enough new projects coming in, he turned his creativity and talents towards other areas of design, including graphic, furniture, and interior design. George Nelson was also the Associate Editor of Architectural Forum magazine from 1935-1943.
When I think of George Nelson the first designs that come to mind are his clock designs for Howard Miller (Herman Miller's brother). The AIGA has a great article on Nelson's legacy and also showcases the variety in his design portfolio. One of my favorites is his simplistic package design system for Abbott Laboratories (seen below)
excerpt of Articulating the Eye by Judith Nasatir:
"George Nelson was not a graphic designer. He called himself, simply, a designer. He practiced a variety of the so-called design disciplines during his fifty-odd calendar years of ceaseless professional activity. His formal training was in architecture. He became extremely well known as a furniture designer, an industrial designer, an interior designer and exhibition designer. He was in the vanguard of a quiverful of design "disciplines" which were only becoming bona fide professions, or at least ways to make a living, at the same time he began to turn his hand to them. Or when he began to write about them. Or when he began to do the work that proliferated and sneaked in many, often unexpected, directions."

text: This is a long reply to many peoples, but I'm not planning on spending too many more grey cells on this as I have a feast to prep for in the next week, so bear with me (or skip the message). Joel Schumacher wrote: ====================== Either TRF is very costly to run or TRF is a greedy organization. In either case, "needing" or "wanting" so much money, it is impractical to have a large space like the SCA booth that draws no income. ==================== If you'd ever watched the "back-end" of TRF you know that it IS costly to run. The groundskeeping, the paid performers, on top of the regular maintenance, security, medical personell, etc. It adds up. Are they being greedy? No more than any other corporation trying to make a profit. Those people who don't like the fees and such are more than able to not show up at the faire. The SCA compound at TRF has been, at least for the past few years, a gift from TRF in remembrance of our help in getting the whole thing started in the first place. When you try to include the amount of rent they could take in for the space we take up, the potential cost of the 1100 passes they gave us every year and the free use of electricity, we're talking about a "donation" to the SCA that exceeds $25K per season. If you add in the lost revenue from the space (be conservative and say that we could have, through various shops and such, brought in another $15K per season) the amount goes up. Joel also wrote: ================ For educational purposes? For drawing in crowds or keeping them there? From what I've seen, the SCA doesn't do a fair job at that. ================ Perhaps the SCA didn't do a fair job at the time you went, but I think that in the last three years we were much better attuned to these points. I know for a fact that this last season we had some of the largest crowds we had seen in the compound, and people were talking to them and interacting with them. But I can understand how you base your opinion from your own experience (as we all do). All I can say is that we got better at it. Then Baron Bors wrote: ====================== I would almost agree with you. Each year my wife and family try to make the TRF and each year lately, I walk away from the event with the feeling that some where some how some thing went terribly wrong with the concept . ====================== And I would almost thank you for almost agreeing with me ;-) It's your second statement, I think, that brings the big difference that (along with the money) has caused this termination. Many w/in the SCA believe in "The Dream", and many who helped with the TRF when it started (you know who you are, and yes, it DOES date you ;-)) hoped that they would be able to guide TRF to follow alongside that dream. What has happened is that TRF has gone the way of all theme parks; maximizing profit and using the best skills of the best people it can find. Yes, it's a money issue as well. Are they "ruining" a good thing? Not by what I'm able to see of people who attend the faire. Most of the patrons going to TRF are not there for historical accuracy and they're not there to learn about how chainmail was fashioned or why. They have the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, and other "closer" referrants than TRF. They're there to have a good time, pretend they're in a fantasy setting, and buy some stuff. I'm willing to bet that part of the reason that fairies are at TRF is because they received a lot of feedback from patrons asking them why they weren't there. That last is just my opinion. And Bors finished with: ======================= On that note- is there any way to recuperate the loss of the cost of the compound itself? ======================= I'm not sure. I believe Mistress Kaitlin is going to touch on that matter with TRF in the very near future. I know that we have a good bit of equipment in the compound that needs to come out, but I think that Ldy Annalies is coordinating that. On the other hand, Mistress Hillary Greenslade wrote: ===================================================== But, I do agree that the SCA participation has dropped much over the last few years, and that greatly affects our total look and feel to the patrons. ===================================================== Which is true, but somehow we still managed a pretty good showing most weekends. At least, with good weather (and when it's bad weather, who wants to spend a day in the mud and the rain with sullen patrons wondering why the spent their money to come a mudpit? ;)). Then Baron Niklas Vasilevich wrote: =================================== It has been a progression over the past few years that the regulations for appearance of the SCA folks and particpants have been getting tougher ( and before anyone says anything, yes they expect the same of SCA as they do their PAID actors) and the loss of the mound area and cutting back of the expected performances has been a signal that the SCA was being phased out. =================================== 1) Is expecting the SCA volunteers to follow the same rules as the paid actors a bad thing? Do we want people drinking alchoholic beverages while doing a demo or before/during a fight? I would rather have to follow the rules of the performers than to be concidered a "special" case because we CAN'T follow the rules. Or is it the fact that we weren't getting paid to do the same thing that wrankled? In any case, the "tougher" rules are rules that we tend to adhere to when doing ANY demo. 2) While the mound area was taken from us, there are some points to be made about this; (a) As Mistress Hillary pointed out, we received fewer and fewer fighters every year. If the mound had still existed we would have looked ridiculous trying to field it with a couple of fighters of either style for a 30 minute demo. (b) The cut-back of expected performances actually allowed us to use the interior compound area as it had been meant once upon a time, with fighting demonstrations scheduled (and to Ld Beowan's credit, he scheduled these demos to take advantage of the crowd that was dispersing from the Dove Meadow show across the way) and attended by a larger number of people (thanks to our Hawkers, who were busy drumming up "business") that were drawn in by the fighting, but had a chance to see all the other demos that were going on. (c) Many people had stopped believing that the SCA should be at TRF. For many it was burnout (having done approx. six years of duty, it's easy to get to...), others thought it was taking away from their SCA activities. In the end, I tend to believe that, if you say a thing will fail often enough, eventually it will. Not because of anything negative being directed by those predicting failure, but due to the tendancy towards entropy that all things travel. And Baron Niklas finished with: =============================== I too saw this coming several years ago with the changes of policies, styles, themes and such of the TRF and figured the SCA's efforts could be better tasked in other areas. Now we need to find demos to adults and persons that have control of what they can do for a hobby. These kinds of things include demos at colleges, fairs, festivals, and other places that we would get proper exposure. It's business folks..... just straight and pure business....follow the money..... =============================== My point (if there is any) was that we had just such a demo, but we wanted to be the main attraction without putting a whole lot of effort into this. For those who are about to leap upon the statement and start talking about hours spent working years ago, please understand that I'm talking about the application of effort that has been extended for the past five years, but if you take into account the "belief" that the TRF demo was a "Coastal" thing (though everyone was invited to the party) and that only the coastal region benefitted by it (though we had sign-up information from all over (and I mean ALL over)), combine that with the decreasing number of people who supported the demo, and the failure was, indeed, inevitable. In the end, the business of TRF is to make money. We helped them get started, and for a while they helped us provide a demo to people who were in the right surroundings, with the right mood already provided by the buildings and the TRF personell, to be interested in what we do and to want to take another step and join in with us. We had a demo, to adults and children, where people were able to make decisions about their hobbies. TRF management and the SCA have parted ways. It's over, but I'm proud to say that I had a part in the demo while it was active. I think, after this is all said and done, that I like HL Annes' idea, of requesting a smaller booth where we could hand out information. But then, I still like the idea of an SCA presence at TRF. For those who have read to the end (you happy few), I thank you for your patience.

Between corporate welfare (government support or subsidy of private business, such as by tax incentives) and public welfare (actions or procedures on the part of governments and institutions – striving to promote the basic well-being of individuals in need) there is an answer. Corporate welfare is only condoned because supposedly there is a return to […]
Anyone with gumption can achieve American dream
09/03/13 at 4:56pm by Letters Editor | Comments
In the letter to the editor, "Obvious solution to poverty" (Sept. 1) the writer states, "the biggest problem minorities face is a lack of jobs." And that throwing money into welfare doesn't work because "welfare and other social programs pay more than the limited number of low paying jobs available." Then the writer does a […]
Suggestions for breaking the cycle of dependency
09/03/13 at 4:53pm by Letters Editor | Comments
The letter "The obvious solution to poverty" displays a total lack of understanding of economics, market forces, and human nature that have led to our current problems. It could not have been stated any better by some socialist college professor indoctrinating his class. We have made tremendous progress in the 50 years since King's speech. […]
Obvious solution to poverty
09/01/13 at 8:01am by Letters Editor | Comments
The story on Monday quoted Colin Powell as saying, "America has come a long way toward racial equality 50 years after Martin Luther King's Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. He recalled being refused service in a restaurant before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He is correct that some black citizens have more opportunities. […]
Drug testing welfare recipients costs taxpayers
08/29/13 at 4:54pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Senator Tim Schaffer's bill to drug test welfare recipients once again demonstrates just how ill prepared the Republicans are to identify and solve this country's problems. Mr. Schaffer's idea has been done and studied: In Florida, it cost more to run the program cost than the savings recovered because only 2 percent tested positive. Florida […]

Approximately 700 people were affected when Tunica Cutoff was evacuated due to rising Mississippi River levels. The majority of the homes in Tunica Cutoff are expected to be condemned and uninhabitable upon final inspection.

Is It Biblical to Be Funny?
- Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Or, to put it another way, God promises to clean out the walk-in closet of his daughters just before shaving their heads and putting them over his knee, because they are a trampish bunch who love to strut around the club in push-up bras and clear heels flirting with rich old men, hoping to land a sugar daddy with Viagra in one pocket and a platinum credit card in the other.
Isaiah 44:13–20 mocks Geppetto-esque guys who use their woodworking skills to make a god:
The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, "Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!" And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!"
Indeed, it is funny that God would take the time to mock a guy who got an A in high school woodshop and delights in his ability to discern which end of a log is god and which end is firewood because he studied it in community college.
In addition, Isaiah 64:6 compares religion to a bloody menstrual rag: "We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment." This is particularly shocking if you think about it being applied to the sincerely religious, including, for example, a Muslim kneeling on his rug praying to Mecca, or a Mormon wearing his sacred underbritches because some guy in Utah told him that God likes his men to wear onesies with a trap door.
The Wisdom Books
The wisdom literature is likewise filled with humor. In many places we read about God laughing at people, even mocking them. Psalm 37:13 says, "The Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming." Psalm 2:4 says, "He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision." Psalm 59:8 says, "But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision."
Also, Proverbs 1:23–27 says:
If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.
Because I have called and you refused to listen,
have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
because you have ignored all my counsel
and would have none of my reproof,
I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when terror strikes you,
when terror strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
Sarcasm also drips throughout the book of Job. The fact that the Bible college students who kept hounding Job with picky theological criticisms are called his "friends" and "comforters" is an obvious joke. To end the book, God even pokes fun at poor Job in chapter 38, essentially telling him to put a cup on because God planned to kick him in the middle by asking him eighty scientific questions, beginning with, "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" Getting the sarcasm, Job wisely tapped out and left the ring.
Proverbs makes fun of all kinds of people, especially the sluggard, who, by definition, is someone so lazy that he experiences devolution on his way to becoming a slug. Proverbs 26:14 says, "As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed." Perhaps quoting what the guy's mom says every morning, Proverbs 6:9 says, "How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?" Mocking the guy who is too lazy to even exert energy to get the chips from the bowl to his mouth while sitting on the couch devoting his twenties to watching every episode of Star Trek, Proverbs 19:24 says, "The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth." Presumably mocking the aspiring musician who freeloads off his girlfriend and crashes at her pad but never goes out to find a job because of one ridiculous excuse after another, like the terror alert being at yellow, Proverbs 22:13 adds this: "The sluggard says, 'There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!'"

Personal Shepherd
today's reading.
John 10:1-18 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber...
the blog.
Jesus, talking about himself, lays out for us in John 10:1-18 who He is and what His role is. And He does this by presenting himself as a shepherd and us as sheep. Two times in this passage Jesus point blank tells us "I am the good shepherd." Verse 11 says "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep." And verse 14 says "I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me."
So what did you learn about Jesus as the good shepherd from this passage? How well would you say you know the good shepherd, and what are you doing to continue growing in your knowledge and relationship with Him? Tami W.

Land Holding Strategy or Pure Business Opportunity, 10000SM Units, 1Yr ROI 70%+
Join the organic agriculture movement as a business investor, and/or use the Poas Organic Growers model to hold your land investments on Poas Mountain. The simple concept involves raising 4 profitable crops per year of organic vegetables (greens) on rented or owned land on Poas Mountain. The unique climate and soil offer ideal growing conditions for organic vegetables, while government incentives encourage investment in this new industry in Costa Rica. Once harvested, pre-arranged agreements with food distributors facilitate rapid sales to customers and quick return of revenue to reinvest in the next crop.
There are optional project elements that integrate fish, sheep, chickens, and pigs, in your organic growing program. Contact us for details.
Poas Organic Growers have the expertise and experience required to plant, manage, harvest, and market each crop, as your partner in this business opportunity. The minimum amount of land needed is 5000SM or 1.2 acres, and all estimates and projections are based on the costs and returns from one such unit. The minimum term for participation in the business opportunity, or for rental of your land, is 3 years/12 crop cycles.
Organic produce enthusiasts can participate in the business operation (only) with an initial investment of $16,000 (USD). ROI after one year can reach 70% of invested capital.
Poas Mountain landowners can participate passively by simply renting their property for organic production, or by actively investing in the growing cycles and share those rewards as well. Either approach will allow landowners with future plans for a weekend or retirement home on Poas Mountain to put their property to profitable use until they are ready to build.
A complete prospectus explaining a 1-year, 4-crop growth cycle on a single 5000SM unit of land is available. The Poas Organic Growers opportunity is a commissionable sale for real estate agents. Please contact us to discuss all the relevant details.
There is also a specialized module available for investors interested in trout farming on Poas Mountain. It can be managed separately, or integrated with the organic vegetable production.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Log Files
My office is upgrading all user PC's from XP to Windows 7. We review event logs (Application, Security and System) each week for all machines.
Currently, there is a script running on the XP machines that automatically clears and saves the log files to an appropriate folder on the server. However, when we created a new task to have the Windows 7 machines run the script, we were only able to get the Application log files to save and clear. All of the files in the script have been updated to evtx file types, but the Security and System are not working.
Does anyone have any idea if the file names change for security and system in Windows 7,or does anyone have any idea what could be holding these 2 logs up?
Thank you.

Wiki Headlines
23rd Oct: It's time for the Second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest! Details here.
main index
Be warned, this series is over 10 years old with over 700 chapters to its name. Spoilers may not be covered below.Together with Luffy and Zoro, eleven rookie pirates with bounties over 100 million berries, all of whom arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago at around the same time. Each had taken differing routes along the first half of the Grand Line, implicitly facing dangers and hardships equal to that of the Straw Hat crew. Their post-Time Skip designs have all been revealed far in advance of their next actual appearances in the story. See for yourself if you don't mind this particular spoiler.◊ Post-Time Skip, they are collectively known as the "Worst Generation", together with the Straw Hats and Blackbeard Pirates.
open/close all folders
In General
Tropes associated with the Supernovas as a whole:
Eustass "Captain" Kid
Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (JP)Eustass Kid is the captain of the Kid Pirates and one of the eleven pirates dubbed with the moniker "Supernova". He's the only one who had a bounty higher than Luffy's. He's known for his violent personality, though he's also knowledgeable in the ways of how the world works and when to step back. Like Luffy, he aims to become Pirate King, and is infamous for leaving behind a trail of bodies of those who mocked him for it. He says that he possesses the determination to achieve the impossible, which is necessary if one is to succeed in the New World.His current bounty is 470,000,000 berries.
"Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy
"Magician" Basil Hawkins
Voiced by: Shigenori Soya (JP)Coming from the North Blue, Basil Hawkins is the captain of the Hawkins Pirates, and has a bounty of 320 million berries. He tends to act in a stoic manner even when confronted with danger. This is perhaps because as Hawkins is a fortune teller, he has little to worry about concerning his fate.Current bounty is 320,000,000 berries.
"Red Flag" X. Drake
Voiced by: Eiji Takemoto (JP)Coming from the North Blue, X. (pronounced "diez") Drake is the captain of the Drake Pirates, and has a bounty of 222 million berries. A former Marine Rear Admiral turned pirate, he is aware of many of the Marines' strategies, and projects such as the Pacifista. He is an "Ancient Zoan" Devil Fruit user, with the power to transform into a Giganotosaurus (similar to a Tyrannosaurus, but with three-fingered claws).
"Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (JP)Trafalgar Law is the captain of the Heart Pirates and one of the eleven pirates dubbed with the moniker "Supernova". He's a very laid-back person, and while his speech is very polite, he has no problem with taking mocking jabs at people or giving them the middle finger. Law ate the Op-Op Fruit (Ope Ope no Mi), which allows him to cut up anything without damage, be it people or objects, and rearrange it with a flick of his fingers. He gladly accepts new people to join his crew, and is also careful to deny any undeserved credit, though he does not like being ordered around at all. Over the Time Skip, he's become a Warlord, with his bounty being frozen at 440,000,000. A feat he seems to have achieved by handing over 100 pirates' hearts to the Government. He also used to be the subordinate of "Joker", AKA Donquixote Doflamingo.His full name is Trafalgar D. Water Law.
"As long as you're within Law's circle, consider yourself a patient on the operating table." — Smoker on Trafalgar Law's ability.
"Weaklings can't pick their way of death."
"Roar of the Sea" Scratchmen Apoo
Voiced by: Mitsuaki Madono (JP)As from the Longarm Tribe in the Grand Line, Scratchmen Apoo as such has arms so long, they're double-jointed. Captain of the On Air Pirates, Apoo's bounty is 350 million berries. Although Apoo's fighting style seems to be mostly defensive, as shown with his brief skirmish with another of the Supernovas, Eustass Kid, he still can't deny himself a good brawl should the opportunity present itself. He seems to be rather perceptive as when witnessing another Supernova Roronoa Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates nearly attack a World Noble, he noted he gave off an "insane killing intent". His (unnamed) Devil Fruit power turns him into a Musical Assassin and a one-man instrument kit, as well as mostly the reason for his strange appearance. The music he makes by playing himself, is not only mesmerizing, it's also deadly; He can make clean cuts by making the "chopping" sound, or cause an explosion by making the sound of Stuff Blowing Up.Current Bounty is 350,000,000.
"Massacre Soldier" Killer
Voiced by: Kenji Hamada (JP)Killer is the First Mate to the Kidd Pirates, and one of the eleven pirates dubbed with the moniker "Supernova". A man of few words, much of Killer's personality is unknown, except he is slightly arrogant, yet much more level-headed than his captain.Current bounty is 200,000,000 berries
"Big Eater" Jewelry Bonney
Voiced by: Reiko Kiuchi (JP)The only female Supernova, Bonney has a one of the more stereotypical views on what a pirate should be like in the series, which is a completely amoral person who destroys all in their way and looks out only for themselves. She has proven to be a very rude and unpleasant women who has a monstrous appetite and holds deep grudges for people who irritate her in any way, currently setting her sights on the Straw Hats. As a captain, she shows conflicting displays of competence. She saved herself, her crew, Zoro, and the entire Sabaody archipelago (initially, at least) by immediately restraining Zoro when he was about to kill a World Noble, which would have certainly caused nothing short of a Marine issued Buster Call. However, she has been shown to cause time delays for her crew with her binge eating, even staying at a restaurant to eat for awhile while knowing that Admiral Kizaru was coming.She has eaten a Devil Fruit that allows her to change her own age as well as others. She uses it as a disguise on herself and makes her opponents either too young or too old to fight her. Interestingly, the clothes of the Marines she changes into children don't change to fit their smaller forms while her clothes do, implying that skintight Stripperific outfit is so her clothes always fit her when she transforms. Other than that, she has also demonstrated a powerful kick to Blackbeard's face that was enough to make him bleed, suggesting a good amount of physical strength (a common trait for the strongest of the One Piece world).
Capone "Gang" Bege
Voiced by: Naoki Tatsuta (JP)An obvious spoof of Italian Mobsters, Capone Bege is the seemingly oldest Supernova (strangely enough, since the whole point is that they're supposed to be young and freshfaced rookies) and out of them all, seems to have the most Mooks. Not much is known about him yet, except that he has a High Class attitude with a very short temper, much like a real Mafia Boss, and that he has eaten one of the strangest Devil Fruits in the series- he has the ability to become a human fortress — mounted cannons and all — that his Mooks shrink to go into and attack his enemies.
"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro
"Mad Monk" Urouge
Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki (JP)Urouge is the last supernova, who has the smallest bounty of the group (only 108,000,000 Berries). He is a Mighty Glacier, as you might have figured. He has a perpetual smile on his face which never goes away, even when he's seen showing fear. He has a Devil Fruit that allows him to rapidly expand his muscles.

Indie R&B singer Tomi Jones teams with rapper Gucci Mane for the brand new street single "Go Off." On the 808-driven track, the newcomer let it be known that she can take your man or handle the hustle better.
"I picked Gucci Mane because the streets love him," Tomi told Singersroom. "I am a fan and I knew
he could deliver what the song needed. "Go Off" is a club record and
the clubs love him too. You have to give the people what they want."
She also stated: "Go off is something I've been wanting to say to people that take my kindness for weakness. Adding GUCCI was just the icing on the cake! BECAUSE I'M A LADY, BUT I GO HARD!"
I don't think y'all want to piss off Tomi.
"Go Off" goes hard though!

Science and Nature Critical Reading Practice Exercises Set 3 (page 2)
Science and Nature Critical Reading
Questions 1–9 are based on the following passage.
The following passage describes the composition and nature of ivory.
Ivory skin, ivory teeth, Ivory Soap, Ivory Snow—we hear "ivory" used all the time to describe something fair, white, and pure. But where does ivory come from, and what exactly is it? Is it natural or man-made? Is it a modifier, meaning something pure and white or is it a specialized and discrete substance?
Historically, the word ivory has been applied to the tusks of elephants. However, the chemical structure of the teeth and tusks of mammals is the same regardless of the species of origin, and the trade in certain teeth and tusks other than elephant is well established and widespread. Therefore, ivory can correctly be used to describe any mammalian tooth or tusk of commercial interest that is large enough to be carved or scrimshawed. Teeth and tusks have the same origins. Teeth are specialized structures adapted for food mastication. Tusks, which are extremely large teeth projecting beyond the lips, have evolved from teeth and give certain species an evolutionary advantage that goes beyond chewing and breaking down food in digestible pieces. Furthermore, the tusk can be used to actually secure food through hunting, killing, and then breaking up large chunks of food into manageable bits.
The teeth of most mammals consist of a root as well as the tusk proper. Teeth and tusks have the same physical structures: pulp cavity, dentine, cementum, and enamel. The innermost area is the pulp cavity. The pulp cavity is an empty space within the tooth that conforms to the shape of the pulp. Odontoblastic cells line the pulp cavity and are responsible for the production of dentine. Dentine, which is the main component of carved ivory objects, forms a layer of consistent thickness around the pulp cavity and comprises the bulk of the tooth and tusk. Dentine is a mineralized connective tissue with an organic matrix of collagenous proteins. The inorganic component of dentine consists of dahllite. Dentine contains a microscopic structure called dentinal tubules which are micro-canals that radiate outward through the dentine from the pulp cavity to the exterior cementum border. These canals have different configurations in different ivories and their diameter ranges between 0.8 and 2.2 microns. Their length is dictated by the radius of the tusk. The three dimensional configuration of the dentinal tubules is under genetic control and is therefore a characteristic unique to the order of the mammal.
Exterior to the dentine lies the cementum layer. Cementum forms a layer surrounding the dentine of tooth and tusk roots. Its main function is to adhere the tooth and tusk root to the mandibular and maxillary jaw bones. Incremental lines are commonly seen in cementum.
Enamel, the hardest animal tissue, covers the surface of the tooth or tusk which receives the most wear, such as the tip or crown. Ameloblasts are responsible for the formation of enamel and are lost after the enamel process is complete. Enamel exhibits a prismatic structure with prisms that run perpendicular to the crown or tip. Enamel prism patterns can have both taxonomic and evolutionary significance.
Tooth and tusk ivory can be carved into an almost infinite variety of shapes and objects. A small example of carved ivory objects are small statuary, netsukes, jewelry, flatware handles, furniture inlays, and piano keys. Additionally, wart hog tusks, and teeth from sperm whales, killer whales, and hippos can also be scrimshawed or superficially carved, thus retaining their original shapes as morphologically recognizable objects.
The identification of ivory and ivory substitutes is based on the physical and chemical class characteristics of these materials. A common approach to identification is to use the macroscopic and microscopic physical characteristics of ivory in combination with a simple chemical test using ultraviolet light.

Questions 10–18 are based on the following passage.
This passage is about the process by which scientists prove theories, the scientific method.
The scientific method usually refers to either a series or a collection of processes that are considered characteristic of scientific investigationand of the acquisition of new scientific knowledge.
The essential elements of the scientific method are:
Observe: Observe or read about a phenomenon.
Hypothesize:Wonder about your observations, and invent a hypothesis, or a guess, which could explain the phenomenon or set of facts that you have observed.
Test: Conduct tests to try out your hypothesis.
Predict: Use the logical consequences of your hypothesis to predict observations of new phenomena or results of new measurements.
Experiment: Perform experiments to test the accuracy of these predictions.
Conclude: Accept or refute your hypothesis.
Evaluate: Search for other possible explanations of the result until you can show that your guess was indeed the explanation, with confidence.
Formulate new hypothesis: as required.
This idealized process is often misinterpreted as applying to scientists individually rather than to the scientific enterprise as a whole. Science is a social activity, and one scientist's theory or proposal cannot become accepted unless it has been published, peer reviewed, criticized, and finally accepted by the scientific community.
The scientific method begins with observation. Observation often demands careful measurement. It also requires the establishment of an operational definition of measurements and other concepts before the experiment begins.
To explain the observation, scientists use whatever they can (their own creativity, ideas from other fields, or even systematic guessing) to come up with possible explanations for the phenomenon under study. Deductive reasoning is the way in which predictions are used to test a hypothesis.
In the twentieth century, philosopher Karl Popper introduced the idea that a hypothesis must be falsifiable; that is, it must be capable of being demonstrated wrong. A hypothesis must make specific predictions; these predictions can be tested with concrete measurements to support or refute the hypothesis. For instance, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity makes a few specific predictions about the structure of space and flow of time, such as the prediction that light bends in a strong gravitational field, and the amount of bending depends in a precise way on the strength of the gravitational field. Observations made of a 1919 solar eclipse supported this hypothesis against other possible hypotheses, such as Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity, which did not make such a prediction. British astronomers used the eclipse to prove Einstein's theory and therefore, eventually replaced Newton's theory.
Probably the most important aspect of scientific reasoning is verification. Verification is the process of determining whether the hypothesis is in accord with empirical evidence, and whether it will continue to be in accord with a more generally expanded body of evidence. Ideally, the experiments performed should be fully described so that anyone can reproduce them, and many scientists should independently verify every hypothesis. Results that can be obtained from experiments performed by many are termed reproducible and are given much greater weight in evaluating hypotheses than non-reproducible results.
Falsificationism argues that any hypothesis, no matter how respected or time-honored, must be discarded once it is contradicted by new reliable evidence. This is, of course, an oversimplification, since individual scientists inevitably hold on to their pet theory long after contrary evidence has been found. This is not always a bad thing. Any theory can be made to correspond to the facts, simply by making a few adjustments—called "auxiliary hypothesis"—so as to bring it into correspondence with the accepted observations. The choice of when to reject one theory and accept another is inevitably up to the individual scientist, rather than some methodical law.
Hence all scientific knowledge is always in a state of flux, for at any time new evidence could be present[ed] that contradicts long-held hypotheses.
The experiments that reject a hypothesis should be performed by many different scientists to guard against bias, mistake, misunderstanding, and fraud. Scientific journals use a process of peer review, in which scientists submit their results to a panel of fellow scientists (who may or may not know the identity of the writer) for evaluation. Peer review may well have turned up problems and led to a closer examination of experimental evidence for many scientists. Much embarrassment, and wasted effort worldwide, has been avoided by objective peer review, in addition to continuing the use and proving the necessity of the scientific method.
- Which step in the process of scientific method do lines 63–72 speak of?
- operational definition
- verification
- evaluation
- phenomenon
- hypothesizing
- What is the tone of this passage?
- enigmatic
- apathetic
- abstruse
- instructive
- revealing
- In line 63 the word falsificationism most nearly means
- validation.
- qualification.
- confirmation.
- facilitation.
- refutation.
- Which statement is FALSE?
- Reproducible results can be obtained by experiments performed by a variety of scientists.
- An auxiliary hypothesis can be made to correspond to the facts.
- Einstein's theory of relativity makes space and time predictions.
- Peer review is usually not a valuable tool for scientists.
- Experiments are a necessary element in the scientific method.
- According to the passage, which is true of a hypothesis?
- It is not a necessary process in the scientific method.
- It cannot be discarded by a competing theory.
- It is a guess.
- It can make a broad and general prediction.
- It is always considered auxiliary.
- What is the best title for this passage?
- The Theory of Relativity
- The Scientific Method: A Step-by-Step Process
- The Two Stages of Proving Theories
- How to Form a Hypotheses
- Evaluating Data with the Scientific Method
- What is meant by the term operational definition in line 28 of the passage?
- a scientific law
- a theory
- a clear definition [of a measurement]
- scientific method
- hypothesis
- What do lines 37–48 of the passage indicate?
- The theory of general relativity is a hypothesis.
- The theory of general relativity is a hypothesis.
- Einstein was the father of the scientific method.
- Space and the flow of time theories are still in a state of flux.
- Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity disproved Einstein's theory.
- Which is NOT a step used in the process of scientific method?
- observation
- simplification
- evaluation
- verification
- hypothesize
- b. Discrete means distinct, and as used in the passage, it is paired with specialized, a context clue. Choices a, c, d, and e are all synonyms for the homophone, discreet.
- d. Choice b is not covered in the passage. Choices a, c, and e, while mentioned, are too specific to be viable titles. Choice d is broad-ranging enough to encompass the entire passage.
- c. Scrimshawed means carved, as in line 12. The word is often associated with whaling and seafaring, so answer choices a, d, and e are all distracters stemming from that confusion regarding context. Because scrimshaw and enamel are wax-like substances, a less careful reader may choose b.
- d. According to lines 21–22 of the passage, choices a, b, c, and e are all parts of the physical structure of teeth. Choice d, tusk, is not a component of teeth, but rather a type of tooth found in some mammals.
- d. From the context in lines 13–17, it can be deduced that mastication means the act of chewing because tusks, evolved from teeth, are described in line 16 as able to go beyond chewing. Choices a, b, and c are distracters that might be chosen if not reading carefully. Choice e, preparation, is too vague.
- b. Lines 30–32 clearly state that dentinal tubules are micro-canals that radiate outward through the dentine from the pulp cavity to the exterior cementum border.
- c. In the passage, the substances in choices a, b, d, and e are all described as organic substances. Therefore, choice c, an inorganic substance, is correct.
- a. Lines 55–58 identify how natural ivory can be authenticated.
- c. According to the fifth paragraph of the passage, enamel is the hardest animal tissue (animal tissue, by nature, is a living thing, and thus organic), ameloblasts help form it, and it has a prismatic structure (choices a, b, d, and e). Choice c is incorrect because lines 55–58 state that ivory is commonly tested via ultraviolet light, which would indicate exposure.
- c. Choice c is correct because these lines specifically speak to the evaluation process of the scientific method.
- d. The entire passage is instructive and about educating the reader.
- e. Falsificationism means to refute and prove wrong as supported in lines 38 and 63 of the passage.
- d. Peer review is proposed as a vital part of the scientific method, and it is directly supported as such by lines 61–67 in the passage. The other statements are all true.
- c. Lines 31–35 of the passage support this truth about hypotheses. The other statements about hypotheses are false.
- b. This is the best choice as it explains the overall point of the passage, which is a step-by-step process covering the scientific method. Choice e is close, but the entire passage is not about evaluating data. Choice a is incorrect because the theory of relativity is only cited as an example, not as a general topic. Likewise, choice c only considers a small part of the passage. Choice d is too specific.
- c. Operational definition is defined as a clear definition of a measurement in lines 26–29 in the passage.
- a. Choice a is supported by the passage. Choice c is not supported anywhere in the passage. Choices b, d, and e are all incorrect interpretations of information contained in the passage and are careless choices.
- b. All the other choices are indicated in the passage to be steps of the process of scientific method.

Poor 2.0
When I booked this hotel, I booked a room with 2 queen beds. Upon arriving at the hotel, I was told they did not have any rooms with double beds, only with 1 king bed in each room. Not what I was booked, and not a pleasant sleeping experience.
It's in a great location.
Pictures online are several years old. Interior has been changed and furniture in lobby was shabby and dirty.

In the wake of the Sergei Filin attack, Bolshoi has announced Wayne McGregor's new Rite of Spring, scheduled for March, has been postponed. The production was supposed to be part of the 100th anniversary celebration of The Rite of Spring. Filin's recovery will likely take months. No word on when the production will take place but it likely will be after Filin is able to return to work.

A little lesson on love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUL4K3pqEkE <— Listen.
I once thought that all relationships that ended were pointless - I mean they led no where right?
I then heard someone else's view on the matter. He believed that even relationships that end are never pointless, they teach you lessons that you would have never learned without them - and he couldn't be anymore right. This is what I have learned.
We have to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, because all of life's lessons are taught through pain.
Loosing someone you love is disappointing and heartbreaking. Loosing that same person a second time is de-motivating and life-changing.
I've learned that your good times are really good - but your bad times are just as bad, you just have to to try and balance your luck and hope that the good times outweigh the bad.
And that's all that love is - luck.
I used to think that making things work took more that just luck. That it took time, hard-work, effort, willingness and faithfulness, don't get me wrong it takes all of those things and probably more.
But it simply mostly just takes luck.
Maybe you'll be lucky that he likes you back.
Maybe you'll be lucky that he doesn't meet someone else.
Maybe you'll be lucky that he doesn't fall out of love with you.
Maybe you'll be lucky that he doesn't realize he never loved you in the first place.
Maybe you'll be lucky that it lasts.
And if your not lucky - well that's unfortunate.
But I've learned that it's better to let go, than hold on. Because loving someone who doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus; the tighter you hold on, the more it hurts.
And boy does it hurt.
But never be afraid to let go, because you never know what will replace what you've lost, and it could be 10 x more amazing than anything you've ever had.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all, silence is the worlds biggest cry. Just because you want them, does not mean you should keep on fighting for them, because someday, someone is going to thank them for letting you go.
I've also learned that trying to explain how you feel will never work, people have to experience something themselves before they can even begin to understand how you feel.
'The sad thing about betrayal is that it never comes from an enemy, it comes from those you love the most.'
So yes my opinion on love and relationships has changed. I've changed. Pain does that to people. Pain is good. Sometimes you have to break-up to wake up.
For now i'm going to let relationships go, and maybe, just maybe, someone can convince me to take the risk again. It's like learning to walk - it's a process.
I'm thankful for my past relationships. They just make the next ones better.
Someday he'll cry for her like you cried for him; someday he'll miss her like you missed him; someday he'll need her like you needed him; someday he'll love her, but she won't love him. But never wish it upon him. Pray that it won't happen to him. Why?
Because getting over him doesn't mean you become bitter and hateful. It means you want the best for him.
It was a privilege being hurt by you.
"Being alone may scare you, but being in a bad relationship will damage you."
"So we'll crawl
Till we can walk again
Then we'll run
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly
Until there is no winds
So let's crawl, crawl, crawl"
