Taking the 5th
NEW YORK — Fussing with her skirt and flubbing her shots, Serena Williams was troubled in the U.S. Open final by the swirling air and the strong play of Victoria Azarenka.
After one miss, Williams declared, "I can't play in this wind." After blowing a big lead and dropping the second set, Williams chucked her racket toward the sideline, and it bounced back onto the court.
In the end, Williams pulled herself together, as she usually does when it matters the most. Facing her only test of the past two weeks, the No. 1-seeded Williams overcame No. 2 Azarenka 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for a fifth championship at Flushing Meadows and second in a row.
Williams, who turns 32 on Sept. 26, raised her Grand Slam singles title count to 17, the sixth-most in history and one shy of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Williams collected a $3.6 million prize, including a $1 million bonus for producing the best results during the North American summer hard-court circuit leading up to the U.S. Open.
Helped by nine aces, one at 126 mph, Williams improved to 67-4 with a career-high nine titles in 2013. Since a first-round exit at the 2012 French Open, she is 98-5 with 14 titles, winning four of the past six Grand Slam tournaments.
"Vika's such a great opponent, such a great fighter," Williams said, "and that's why she's been able to win multiple Grand Slams. That's why it was never over until match point."
Yes, this one did not come easily, even though it appeared to be nearly over when Williams went ahead by two breaks at 4-1 in the second set. Williams served for the match at 5-4 and 6-5 — only to have the gutsy Azarenka break each time.
Still, Williams regrouped and regained control.
"In the third set, Serena really found a way to calm down and restart from zero and quickly erase what happened," said Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou.
This was a rematch of last year's final, also won by Williams in three sets, and two-time Australian Open champion Azarenka provided another challenge with her big swings off both wings.
"It is a tough loss, but to be in the final and play against the best player — who deserves to win today — it's incredible," said Azarenka, who is from Belarus. "I gave it all today. We showed our hearts. We fought hard."
Four times, Azarenka was only two points from taking the opening set. At one such moment, with Williams serving at deuce after a double-fault, she was called for a foot fault, erasing what would have been a 121 mph ace. There was another foot-fault call in the second set, too. They brought back memories of the American's loss to Kim Clijsters in the 2009 semifinals, when Williams was docked a point, and later fined, for a tirade against a line judge over a foot-fault call.
There was no such outburst directed at officials this time, although there was that racket toss. After the call in the match's 10th game, Williams simply put a hand to her face, composed herself, and won the point with a down-the-line backhand she celebrated with a fist pump, some foot stomping and a yell of "Come on!"
Williams wound up holding there with a 104 mph ace, part of what seemed to be a match-altering stretch. She won five consecutive games and 16 of 18 points to take the first set and go up a break in the second.
"You could see she clicked," Mouratoglou said. "She realized she was not aggressive enough. She was letting Vika dictate too much, and all of a sudden, things completely changed."

AMD R600 Gallium3D Is Mixed On Fedora 18

After yesterday running some
Intel Ivy Bridge graphics tests on Fedora 18
as a preview of future extensive benchmarks coming from the "Spherical Cow" release, here's some tests of the AMD Radeon R600 Gallium3D on this week-old Fedora Linux release compared to its "Beefy Miracle" predecessor from 2012.
More extensive tests are on the way, but this is just the equivalent preview article for Radeon Gallium3D graphics on Fedora 18 to yesterday's Intel testing. This testing happened from an Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition system sporting an AMD Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. Fedora 18 ships with the Linux 3.6.10 kernel, xf86-video-ati 6.99.99, and Mesa 9.0.1 while Fedora 17 carried the Linux 3.3 kernel, xf86-video-ati 6.14.99, and Mesa 8.0.2.
The full results for this introductory R600 Gallium3D benchmarking from Fedora 18 can be found in this OpenBenchmarking.org result file:
The only setting/package changed from the stock environment on Fedora 17 and 18 was disabling
from the
for both F17 and F18. Now onto some Radeon Gallium3D OpenGL benchmarks between Fedora 17 and 18:
On average, with the basic OpenArena 0.8.5 game, Fedora 18 with its stock graphics stack was about 6% faster than Fedora 17 on the Radeon HD 4650 at the span of resolutions from 800 x 600 through 1920 x 1080.
At 1920 x 1080, Fedora 18 was about 6% faster than the earlier release of this Linux distribution that's sponsored and led by Red Hat.
Interestingly, with the more graphics-intense OpenArena 0.8.8, the OpenGL frame-rate on R600g is down noticeably from Fedora 17 to 18. Fedora 18 is running at 69% the speed it was in Fedora 17 with the same hardware and same Linux OpenGL benchmark.
At 1920 x 1080, OpenArena 0.8.8 was running at less than 60% the frame-rate with Fedora 18 x86_64 compared to Fedora 17 x86_64.
On average for the Xonotic game, Fedora 18 on this R600 Gallium3D open-source GPU driver was 12% faster on the Spherical Cow compared to Beefy Miracle.
Lastly, at 1920 x 1080 and low quality settings for this open-source first person shooter, the Radeon HD 4650 was about 10% faster on this new Fedora release.

The Flip Side: Details, details, details!
A yad follows biblical script 370 .
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
So much of the philosophy of the mitzvot sounds wonderful, but when you try to
take it home, a thousand little details threaten to choke you. Why are Jews
always obsessing about details? The late Rabbi Shimshon Pincus, in the
life-altering introduction to his book Tiferet Torah, talks about how important
it is to know the purpose of any activity we are involved in. If someone owns a
store and enjoys setting up the window display, that's nice, but if the owner
begins to think that the window dressing is the reason for the store's
existence, he has missed the point.Similarly, being married is very
useful. It makes things easier to have two adults around the house. It is
convenient to have someone to carry in the groceries and someone to do the
laundry. But if one makes the mistake of thinking that those benefits are what
marriage is all about, he has missed the boat entirely. Marriage is about the
union of two halves of one soul. Having someone else to take a turn driving
carpool is a side benefit.So why do we need so many mitzvot? What are
all the details about? They are not just about earning a good place Up There.
They are not just about being good or holy. They are not even just about having
a meaningful life in this world. God tells us clearly why He took us out of
Egypt and brought us to Mount Sinai: "You have seen what I did to Egypt and that
I carried you on the wings of eagles and brought you to Me. And... you will be a
treasure to Me from among all the peoples... " (Exodus 19:4-5).God took
us out of Egypt in order to bring us to Him – to be close to Him. He took us out
because He wanted us to enter into a relationship of love with
Him.Maimonides compares the love of God to the all-consuming love of a
man for his beloved. "He thinks of her constantly: when he rests and when he
gets up, when he eats and when he drinks. More than this should be the love of
man for his Creator."The love Maimonides described is so
all-encompassing that one wonders what the words "more than this" add? How can
one possibly love more than what is described? An answer (which I heard from
Rabbi Moshe Eisenstadter) is that there is an intrinsic problem with human love.
Life goes on, and sitting around gazing forever into one another's eyes is not
an option. The lovesick man goes to work and comes home. He does this and he
does that. And despite the fact that he is busy with a million things, he still
thinks about his beloved.But what if all the things a person had to do –
the laundry and the child care, the business and the shopping – were not in
contradiction to the relationship but an expression of it? What if we went to
work not despite our love but because of it? A relationship with God means that
every aspect of life is about this relationship: the work and the play, the
running and the doing. Every single action carries within it the potential to be
an expression of our Godly nature and of this all-encompassing bond.Yet,
though our souls may want closeness with God, our physical selves want to run in
the other direction.How can we lowly, petty, selfish human beings
possibly forge a relationship with the Source of All Good? Maimonides tells us
that the many details are there only in order to refine us. It is the details
that take us through a process that is meant to turn us into a "kingdom of
priests and a holy nation."IDEAS FADE, inspiration dissipates. It is the
details that harness the ephemeral concepts to reality. More, it is the details
which harness us to the ideal. Every small action shaves away at our base nature
and clarifies the soul hiding underneath. Slowly, but surely, the details cast
us in the mold of God's nation.In an interesting dynamic, it is the
details of the caring that create the love. Once committed to the relationship,
the endless details are not irrelevant, irritating nitpicking that complicates
our lives. They are the threads that bind us together. Judith Viorst, the famous
children's writer, is quoted as saying that marriage is a useful institution,
because "when you fall out of love... [marriage] keeps you together until
maybe you fall in love again."Like the commitment of marriage, the
commitment to the intricacies of Judaism keeps us connected even when, with the
ebb and flow of life, we feel distant from Him. With that commitment, there is
always something to go back to.Many years ago, a relative of mine was in
the airport when someone asked him why Jews wear that "beanie" on their heads.
My relative explained that wearing something on one's head creates awareness
that there is Someone above us and that that awareness, in turn, influences our
actions. The man chewed this over for a minute or two, then asked, "Does it
work?" Does it? Does this framework of details really engage us in a close,
passionate relationship with God? Does it really change us? Does it make us into
a more Godly nation? The reality is that, as dynamic human beings, our feelings
of connection fluctuate. Sometimes God feels like a solid Presence in our lives,
and sometimes we wonder where He is. Sometimes our Judaism feels relevant and
purposeful – sometimes we would rather slither out from under that
thousands-of-years-old burden and forget the whole thing.But when God
gave us 613 commandments, He was asking us to move into a relationship with Him
and to become the kind of people that He could have a relationship with. He
doesn't want us only on Sundays. He doesn't want us only when we are in the
mood. He wants us with Him always, in a relationship of love, where our
closeness to Him is reflected in all of our actions.Perhaps the answer
to the man in the airport is yes, it does work. Despite the ups and downs, it is
the unrelenting totality of the framework that never lets us stray too far. It
is bringing the beautiful ideals right down into the nitty-gritty of our lives
that bring those ideals to life.The thousands of details that surround
so many of our actions become the threads that do not choke but, rather, bind us
to God in an everlasting relationship.The writer lectures weekly to
hundreds of Israeli university students on Jewish thought, through the
organization Nefesh Yehudi. She welcomes comments and questions and can be

The New Oil
by BNN contributor John Lucaites
Oil, we are often told, is the lifeblood of late modern, industrialized civilization (here, here, and here) and certainly there is plenty of evidence that we behave as if we believe it. But as the photograph of Iceland's Kolgrima River shot from somewhere in the heavens suggests, the real lifeblood of any civilization on earth is water. I say shot from the "heavens" because it is less realistic than William Ander's iconic Earthrise, a clearly mechanically produced image that implicitly foregrounds the technology that enabled it.
Here the image has something of an abstract expressionistic quality to it that nevertheless underscores the naturalistic blending of land and waterways, a surface manifestation of an underlying essence accented by the soft contrast of the muted pastels. One can almost imagine the earth as a living entity, the blue veins throbbing in unison as they work to carry the nutrients necessary to bolster and sustain the ground. It is a beautiful and compelling—almost utopian—God's eye view. 70% of the earth is covered by water, but 97% of that is found in oceans and seas, with another 2.4% in glaciers and polar ice caps. That leaves very little fresh water for all of its various needs, including most importantly consumption, sanitation, and agricultural production.
This has not yet proven to be a disastrous situation in the United States—despite some scares as the recent drought in the southeast—where the average resident consumes 100 gallons of water a day. But to put it in context, we need to note that in some places in the world the most indigent people subsist on 5 gallons of water a day—when they can get it. Nearly 50% of the people on earth do not have water piped into their homes, and in some developing countries women walk an average of 3.7 miles a day to get what they need. And the most sobering fact of all is reported by the Water Resources Group (sponsored by the World Bank Group and a number of global financial, industrial, and agribusiness concerns), which notes that by 2030 water demand will exceed supply by over 50% in some developing regions of the world effecting over 1.5 billion people.
And so, to return to earth from the heavens there is this image of a reservoir in China's Yunnan Province:
The contrast between the two images could not be more stark. Here the earth is dried and cracked, its parts broken and fragmented rather than blended. There is nothing that approximates movement in the photograph; indeed, there are no signs of vitality at all. One of the often claimed effects of such desertification is a dangerous reduction in biodiversity, but here it is hard to imagine any biology at all. Of course, even the slightest accumulation of moisture might change that, resulting in a desert oasis, but the extreme close-up of the photograph locates the image in the here and now. It is a human's eye view, and it underscores the immediacy and palpable effects of the threat.
Water, not oil, it would seem, is what is most essential to life on earth. One can only imagine what the world will be like in 2030 if we don't come to terms with that sooner rather than later.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Coming down to crunch time
Front and center in that war between the House and Senate will be Medicaid expansion. It is perhaps the one issue that could doom negotiations and send both sides back to their corners to regroup.
The other reason given by Republican senators for opposing expansion is the unknown factor involved in implementing a new program. As Sen. Andy Sanborn, R-Bedford, argued recently, expansion and its ramification are very complicated matters. Time is needed to sort all that out, he says, before lawmakers can decide what is best for the state.
In theory, expanding Medicaid would lower the amount of free or charity care that nonprofit hospitals provide to low-income patients who cannot pay for the services they receive.
The hospitals view the situation as an opportunity to leverage higher Medicaid reimbursement rates from the state. The rates do not come close to covering the cost of services. Ten of the state's largest hospitals have sued over the issue in federal court, but the case is still pending.
Also in the picture are the three national managed care companies that the state hired to run the program under the assumption Medicaid would be expanded. At the time, expansion was mandatory under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled otherwise.
So the equation everyone is trying to decipher is whether expanding Medicaid by 60,000 people would reduce uncompensated care costs enough to lower what the state pays to hospitals to offset it and whether Medicaid costs would be reduced enough under Managed Care to pay for that expansion?
If the expansion happens, the state would receive more than $400 million in federal dollars in the upcoming biennium while spending very little money beyond administrative costs, according to Health and Human Services officials, while the state would not have to contribute until three years down the road.
The ultimate question becomes, if the Legislature comes to a stalemate, does Hassan move forward on her own to expand Medicaid?
Moving forward by executive order would surely make New Hampshire a test case. Other states' governors have backed expansion, but as yet no legislature has blocked their governor's decision.
Continuing the Pressure: Hassan will be one of the featured speakers at press conference Tuesday dubbed "Why NH Can't Wait for Medicaid Expansion."
Hassan will be joined by at least three state residents currently without health insurance who would be covered if the state decides to expand Medicaid.
The press conference is at 11 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building.
Reporters and their news organizations that cover the Legislature are usually included, but were not this time.
Also, two positions that used to be listed as officers of the Senate - the Senate clerk and the Senate sergeant at arms - are now listed as Senate staff while the House continues to list the House clerk and House sergeant at arms as House officers.
They said the clerk is not a constitutional officer but rather elected and paid by the Senate, so is part of the staff.
A Thank You: Sens. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, and Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, were absent from Thursday's Senate session.
The Senate Finance Committee hurried through its final work on the state budget Tuesday so D'Allesandro could leave on his trip.

Live:Bro Blue takes you to Jamaica,the culture,food and great reggae music
Ganja is their superior source of life. Originating in the 1930s, one of the most prominent, internationally known aspects of Jamaica's African-Caribbean culture is the Rastafari movement, particularly those elements that are expressed through reggae music. In the 1970s and early 1980s Bob Marley became the most high-profile exponent of the Rastafari culture and belief system. His reputation as an innovative musician devoted to his faith has continued to grow since his death, so that by 2004 his greatest hits compilation Legend had sold 20 million copies worldwide, making him arguably the world's most famous Jamaican, and certainly the nation's biggest-selling recording artist.

A conversation with Hoodoo Practitioner, Khi Armand
in Spirituality
Join the Clique as we welcome Khi Armand into our forum to provide insight on a topic that holds much controversy in the melanated community. Yet Hoodoo is a variation of a practical spirit science that we as melanin dominant people have utilized since time immemorial.
We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Be safe, eat a lot and always give back. We salute soldiers serving overseas and we have hope America can get back to where she belongs as a beacon of Democracy that the entire world can emulate.
U.S. President Barack Obama has been negatively bombarded from all sides. This show will not jump on the bandwaggon critisizing this great American Icon in the making. He has gotten at least 75% of his agenda through WITHOUT the help of Republicans and "bullweivel" Blue Dog Democrats. When it mattered most, so called Progressives in Congress, for the most part, abandoned him and threw him under the bus. A prime example is this past Midterm 2014 Elections. After all that, any humanbeing would implode, lose composure and probably quit. It kills them that he did not and he will not. In life, it's not how many times you get knocked down. But, it's how mant times you get back up, brush yourself off and soldier on. That is the essence of this great leader and legend in the making.
In a recent speech, he will go it alone signing an Executive Order on Immigration since Republicans won't compromise. If they were for something, they are now against it only because Obama is for it. Their actions border on the brink of treason, as they do everything in their power to make our first African-American President of the United States of America look incompetent and weak. This two years will be very interesting. Will it be more gridlock or will compromise be reached to get us back where we need to be economically, socially and politically? Will Obama become a lame duck or an Iconic Legend? Join us!

Rick "Slick Rick" Walters was born in London in 1965 and moved with his family to the Bronx in 1975.
Charlie Rock of HARLEM WORLD CREW was very instrumental in bringing "Ricky D" AKA "Slick Rick" and together when he was request by Doug to introduce him to Rick after he has seen him win a number of local MC battle contest. It was at a MC Contest at the 369 Armory on 142nd street in Harlem, given by promotion partners Ray chandler & Charlie Rock, The Rick & Doug were formally introduced by Rock.
As a 19-year-old in the summer of 1985 he scored his first big hits, "La Di Da Di" and "The Show."
Three years later Def Jam Recordings released Rick's first full-length album, "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick". Hailed as a showcase for Rick's extraordinary writing and rapping skills, it quickly achieved "platinum" status for sales in excess of one million copies and has since established itself as a rap classic.
At the height of his fame in July of 1990, Rick shot and wounded two people in an ill-advised attempt to protect himself against a violent predator. Convicted of attempted murder in the second degree, he began serving his sentence of three-to-ten years in 1991. While he was in jail, he released "The Ruler's Back" (1991) and "Behind Bars" (1994).
After his release in 1999 he released "The Art of Storytelling."

Valuable collection of beer cans, other items up for bid
Updated On: Sep 21 2012 05:49:04 PM CDT
We've heard of people paying $20 for a premium beer, but what about $20,000 for a beer can without any beer in it?
It's a chance to own a piece of a brewery, from light up signs, wall plaques, and beer cans.
"It's actually very rare to see an auction and collection of this size and value come out to the public," said Les Jones, breweriana expert for Morphy Auctions.
Some cans date back to the days of the prohibition.
While some buy a can because there is a certain Bond, others buy cans at the Morphy Auctions in Denver, Lancaster Co., like Einbock. It was part of a six pack that you could buy at one time for $1.09. It's now estimated to sell for $300.
"It's a really exceptional collection," said Mike Richards, from Robesonia, Berks Co.
The owner of the collection is Adolf Grenke from West Chicago. His sons started the collection, and Grenke wasn't even interested until one day he was driving in Texas.
"As we were going down the highway there was a golf course down to the right and my sons were yelling, 'Dad, there's beer cans down there,'" said Grenke.
There were even some old cans native to Pennsylvania. Some came from the Reading Brewery.
"We drove by the old Reading Brewery last night to see what was left," said collector Curt Boster. "Whenever we go to an auction or a show, we try to pick up a can from that city where we are."
There are more than 1,800 items in the auction, and many buying beer cans said the best cans are the ones that are unopened.
While many enjoy what's inside the can, some people consider themselves lucky when the can is empty.
"For us it's funny because neither one of us drinks beer," added Boster.
Most of the beer was drained from the bottom of the can.
Auctioneers said the collection should bring in more than $1 million over two days, and you don't even have to tip your bartender.

A MYSTERY tour ended in a slap-up silver service afternoon tea at the Ritz Hotel in London for two long-serving bakers at The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop.
Steve Mellor and Nigel Prickett said they were 'treated like Royalty' by shop owners Andrew and Joanne Hunter, after each notching up 25 years continuous employment at the 160-year-old business.
The surprise trip to London for both men, and their wives, also included first-class train travel, lunch at Harrods, an evening at The Phantom of the Opera and an overnight stay at the Westminster Plaza overlooking the Thames.
"Andrew just told us to pack overnight bags and turn up at the shop one morning," said 58-year-old Steve. "The next thing we knew we were on the train to London and the next two days were just fantastic."

Title: Fertilizing wild bluebonnets
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Can you fertilize wild bluebonnets? If so, with what and when?
ANSWER:Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The reason those wild bluebonnets are out there doing just fine is that they've been out there doing just fine for millions of years before human beings came along trying to improve on Nature. Read this article on Bluebonnets, which is really written about planting them in your landscape. However, note especially the line that says: "Fertilizing is not recommended and may encourage leggy and weak plants with more leaves than flowers." Protect them from mowing, yes, keep them from being stepped on by picture takers, if you can, yes, enjoy them while they bloom, absolutely, but don't mess with them! And thank you for being interested in the preservation of native plants, especially bluebonnets, from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which is interested in the same thing.

text: 09 July 2012 House Retracts Key Farm Bill Conservation Provision Posted by: John Motsinger | 1 comment | Share: Sage grouse are one of countless species that rely on private farm land for their survival. In Congress, as in many walks of life, no good deed goes unpunished. We celebrated two weeks ago when the U.S. Senate passed an amendment to the Farm Bill linking crop insurance subsidies to vital wildlife conservation measures. The provision was noticeably lacking, however, from the version unveiled by the U.S. House of Representatives late last week. American taxpayers provide billions of dollars each year in subsidies that incentivize farmers to plow under more land. The very least we can do is make sure that vital wildlife habitat isn't completely destroyed along the way. For example, about 31 percent of sage grouse habitat in the western United States is privately owned and more is plowed under every year. Requiring basic measures that protect soil, water and wildlife is essential to recovering sage grouse and countless other species that rely on America's working landscapes for their survival. When the bill is debated in the House later this week, Defenders will be working hard with our allies to make sure funding for these vital programs is restored.

It's "a parliament about nothing." Created by Huw Parkinson, here is a cleaver mash-up of Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer in an Australian Parliament.
Chris Pratt is married to Anna Feris who played the knocked up girl who gave her twins to Monica and Chandler on FRIENDS. Nailed it! Enjoy the mash up!
This is a fan made map by someone named TheAntiLove and it details where all the Disney movies through history have taken place.
In the true Disney spirit, people are attacking TheAntiLove for a flawed map because screw him (or her…or singing crab) for taking the time to create a fun map of the origins of our childhood favorites. Oh and also, ALL THESE STORIES ARE FICTIONAL! So just relax internet or there will be no Disney Christmas this year okay? Alright then.
For those of you who are curious how these theories were conceived, TheAntiLove gives some explination:
Although the author and original story are Danish, the wildlife is clearly tropical. There is simply no way to have that type of flora and fauna anywhere near Denmark. It is very reasonable that The Little Mermaid movie could take place on the Danish colony, now known as the US Virgin Islands.(thanks so /u/theflyingbarney) Another big clue is the fact that in the beginning of the movie the storm is referred to as a "Hurricane." Something Europeans knew very little about. (thanks to /u/Cheesecakejedi).
My logic for The Incredibles is based mainly on the design of the city. The city definitely does not have a West Coast or Midwestern feel, and my top two choices where either Chicago or NYC. I went with Chicago based on the following comparisons:
The elevated trains: Where it is true that NYC has elevated trains, Chicago is much more well known for them and the style of the ones in The Incredibles reflects the Chicago style.
The streets: a definite Chicago feel, Chicago has a much more industrial feel to the city streets.
The idea here was to place the Toy Story movies near Chagrin Fall, Ohio which is the popular theory for where they are located. It is based on the idea that it is the home town of Lee Unkrich (co-director of several Toy Story movies), and there is a Go Tigers sticker in Andy's room. (The mascot for Unkrich's high school). The weather is also consistent with Ohio in that they get a heavy blanket of snow at/around Christmas.
When they revamped It's A Small World, Cinderella was placed in France (next to the Cancan dancers and Eiffel Tower) with Jacques and Gus. Also, one of the new Mickey shorts takes place in France and at one point we see Cinderella. (thanks to /u/rustylime)
Although the feel of the movie definitely seems Appalachian, there are simply no Grizzly Bears in Appalachia, which would put the movie more north.
The movie never explicitly states where the Atlantis they are heading for is. The best approximation would be the more historically proposed location which would be in the Mediterranean Sea. A common misconception with this location is that it should be Iceland; however Iceland is the location of the Shepard's Journal, not Atlantis itself.
So there you have it. Perfect logic. Now let's all argue about how Pinocchio's transformation into a real boy should have actually involved a leprechaun.
This is a pretty amazing music video for Roy Kafri's 'Maykero' which features a number of iconic album covers animated to appear as if they are beatboxing. The song itself is fun and a little catchy but the video is amazing. Do yourself a favor and take 2 minutes to check out this very cool video.
Here is a collection of movie posters for sequels that were never made. Although I am sure there are scripts to every single one of these movies, cause that's just what Hollywood does. You can view more here. Enjoy.

Abseiling is a thrilling activity once simply reserved for rock climbers, spelunkers, and mountaineers who needed to get down steep inclines. Today, the rush of speeding down a dangerous cliff in a safety harness while clinging to a rope can be experienced by tourists to Thailand! Fun as that sounds, safety is a genuine concern, and as Thailand has many opportunities for abseiling, it is important to make sure that adequate safety equipment, including a helmet and proper shoes are provided and worn.
Bungee jumping is an extreme activity requiring even less ability than abseiling. Simply allow the proprietors to attach the enormous rubber band to your feet and jump from the platform, typically 165 feet (50m) above the ground. The bungee cords are designed to allow you to fall within a reasonable distance from the ground before bouncing you back into the air several times. It's an extreme rush that those daring to attempt will never forget.
This activity is most popular in Phuket, between Patong and Phuket Town, Pattaya, and Koh Samui.
