Nowhere else on earth is quite like Vegas. Whatever you can imagine, you are likely to find in this magical city that sparkles in the desert sun by day and glitters in the neon night. From casinos and gaming to headline entertainers, to shopping, dining, and theme park attractions, Las Vegas has all the bases covered. A beautiful timeshare in Las Vegas, purchased on the secondary market as an affordable timeshare resale, makes it easy for you and your friends or family to experience everything this amazing city has to offer.
Shop for a Las Vegas, Nevada timeshare resale and you'll find great deals at glamorous resorts such as the four Hilton Grand Vacations Club resorts (The Flamingo, the Hilton Elara, The Las Vegas Strip, and at the Las Vegas Convention Center), or one of Vegas' newest resorts, Planet Hollywood. And that's only a few of the great choices you'll have for timeshare in Vegas. When you are looking for a Vegas vacation ownership villa or condo, you will find plenty of options, from studios to one, two-, and three-bedroom units. Often, just because it's Vegas, these units pack a little extra bling in their décor and amenities.
Did you know your Vegas timeshare makes it possible to experience Paris, New York, and Venice? We're not talking about timeshare exchange, although that is one of the excellent benefits you can choose when you become a Vegas vacation owner. The many faces of Las Vegas actually make it possible for you to have your own "global experience" without ever leaving the Strip.
Stop by the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, which features reproductions of well-known Parisian landmarks. You'll find the famed Paris Opera House, the Arc de Triomphe, and an amazing half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, perfect for views of the spectacular Vegas skyline.
Head for the New York, New York Hotel and Casino where in addition to the gaming and shows you can ride the Big Apple Coaster, the world's first rollercoaster featuring a 180-degree twist and dive maneuver. As soon as your heart starts beating again, you can take on the midway carnival games of the Big Apple Arcade.
For a night in Venice, Las Vegas-style, be sure to visit the famed Venetian Hotel and Casino where a singing gondolier will guide you along the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola, past bridges, balconies, cafes, and a Venetian streetscape.
Did you know a Las Vegas time share resale is also a great choice for a family vacation? From the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead for boating, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors to connecting with your inner cowboy or cowgirl on guided horseback excursions into the dramatic desert, a timeshare in Las Vegas is ideally situated for family fun.
Along The Strip (or very close by) you'll find plenty of kid-friendly vacation fun with the world's largest indoor theme park at the Circus Circus Adventuredome, Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat, and the four-story M and M World, themed to all things chocolate. And that's only the beginning. Las Vegas offers enough water parks, interactive museums, arcades, and thrill rides to satisfy even the most energetic young travelers and hard-to-please teens.
Getting to your Las Vegas time share is easy with deals frequently available into the McCarran International Airport, consistently one of the top ten busiest airports in the U.S. Once you are there, you'll find getting around in Vegas is just as simple, with most Vegas timeshare resorts conveniently near the shows and attractions you want to enjoy.
Let the timeshare resale and rental specialists at BuyATimeshare.com help you get started today. A timeshare in Vegas is a sure thing for anyone who wants to max out vacation fun yet minimize vacation costs. You can bet on it.

Midtown Global Market - Minneapolis
- j
- Josh Resnik Oct 22, 2006 08:13 PM
Now that the Midtwon Global Market has been open for about 6 months, I am wondering how other chowhounds are feeling about it. I saw a lot of posting in the first couple months, but was wondering how other people are using it now. Is it what you expected? What do you like? What do you dislike? What do you wish was different?
The only think that I really liked about the market was that I could buy Georgia peaches at the produce stand. I got two pecks when they were in season, and they went fast. The food is so-so. Like international state fair food.
I was *stunned* in the most beautiful way by the ceviches at La Sirena Gorda. I think I happened to be there when one of the owners was behind the counter; ironically, I was waiting for plantains and wings at the soul food place across the aisle!
He lured me over with samples of the ceviches, which surprised me with their distinct personalities. They were vinegary, clean-tasting, a few spicy, some not, with seafood and chiles and onions and more. I recall loving the "pulpo" one the best -octopus with other goodies in it! We talked about the food, and these are folks who love their fish - I would highly, highly recommend a visit. I am already planning a little winter warm-up dinner with a selection of take-away ceviches and a vino verdhe if one can be found in January!
The owner at La Sirena Gorda is quite a character, and will get you a taste of pretty much anything if you ask what its like.
Last time, he offered me a sample of a couple of their specials. When I said, "I was thinking of getting the whole fried tilapia" his response was, "Now we're talking!!!"
Their whole fried tilapia (the star of the MGMkt Chowdown) is one of the great treats of the market.
re: Josh Resnik
i was refering to the seating in the market overall - cramped and mostly dark, that's how i remember it. I should give it another try... i like Danny's idea of sending everyone to a different stand instead of choosing as a group!
I've never had a problem with seating at the market... The tables in the middle are a bit cramped, but there's a lot of action there. If you want a quieter place for a bigger group, the tables on the outskirts of the market are the way to go.
I've found that the best way to enjoy the market is in a chowdown format. Here's the report from the original: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...
Since then, I've gone there with friends and family, and we took a similar approach - everybody went to a stand or two and brought things back for the table to share. Those have been some spectacular meals.
I've been there four or five times since it opened, and I like the convenience and variety of the place.
I love the variety of groceries, including United Noodles, Mexican, Holy Land, fish, goat Barbacoa, organic produce, and the best wild rice ever from the booth by the door. Plus, I can get lunch or a snack. (Thanks for the mention of La Serena Gorda - I tried their Fish Tinga last week - YUM!)
This was the perfect place to shop for my last party, when I needed hummos, Mexican pop, Sriracha hot sauce, fresh fish, and some vegetables. If not for Midtown Global Market, I would have had to drive all over town.
I'm hoping that the grocery aspect of the place will expand in the future. (I was also looking for organic chicken broth, but no luck.) I need more excuses to go back and try more of the food booths.
A friend of mine described the market aspect of it pretty well - it's nice, but a little sterile. Still, it's nice to get a bunch of that stuff all in one place. I agree that the market needs to grow. And as it does, I'm sure it will grow some personality as well.
La Serena Gorda - awesome breakfast!
My boyfriend and I are Brooklyn based chow-ers who are frequently in the Twin Cities, and we stumbled upon MGM on Saturday. To be honest, it was pretty fantastic. To limit the greatness of the market by decrying the parking or lighting seems to greatly miss the point. It is really wonderful to see a smattering of small, locally run businesses there and those kind of establishments don't usually have the overhead for posh digs; hence the warehouse type feel.
As for the food, we had really fabulous al pastor sopes and horchata at Ocampo; I would return in a heartbeat to sample the other offerings.
Most of all, I was really excited to see a lot of people of all ethnicities there and a nice diversity of food available. I truly hope it does well and can't wait for my next visit back!

The emissions testing centers in Hamilton County will be closed Jan. 20 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but then they will all resume testing at their regularly scheduled hours on Jan. 21.
"Planning ahead helps keep waiting to a minimum," Prentiss Taylor, program manager for the Tennessee vehicle inspection program administered by Envirotest Systems, said. "It's a good idea to take vehicles mid-week, when testing volume is usually lighter, and to avoid testing in the final days of the month."
The regular hours of operation and testing center locations for Hamilton County are:
— 5206 Austin Road in Hixson and 720 Eastgate Loop in Chattanooga,. are open Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They are closed Sundays and Mondays.
— 1620 Riverfront Parkway and 7460 Bonnyshire Drive in Chattanooga are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They are closed Saturdays and Sundays.

Boffins hide cute kitty behind invisibility shield
It's not going to actually fool everyone, but a China-Singapore partnership has demonstrated an "invisibility cloak" that works with natural light. While still pretty crude, the demonstration beats prior work in one key characteristic: it doesn't need polarised light (or microwaves) as previous cloaking demonstrations have done …
Welcome to the world of...
Re: Welcome to the world of...
"INVIZIBELZ LOLCATZ!" that look like they are about to take a shit.
So when you see a cage with nothing in it
shoot that.
Copyright M.Python 1974 ish.
Phew - looks like the cat is alive.
The first video looks like it could be a picture stuck to the back of the glass.
The second looks like the box is a synchronised video screen, thus it looks a slightly different colour.
Just looks like the effect you get with Transparent Desktop (littletinbox.co.uk)
While it does look fake, it'd be quite difficult to get teams at four universities to work together on a fraud like that.
Except with the goldfish you can see the shadow of the stirrer thing move in the first video. Still, until we get verification, I'm a bit doubtful...
Not sure
How does the glass 'know' to hide the fish/cat, but allow the flowers to show?
Re: Not sure
Because the fish/cat are inside the "cloak" whereas the flowers are not. I suspect that you are thinking that it's like this from above:
--------- <- "cloak"
When in fact it's like this:
| Fish |
i.e. the fish/cat is surrounded by the cloaking material.
Re: Not sure
@Alex - that makes sense. Thanks.
Re: Not sure
Weed/flowers is behind the "cloak", fish/cat is inside it.
Re: @Wise
A fake would look much better!
No smoke
So it must be mirrors.
I don't know ..
..about the fish but everyone knows that all cats can make themselves invisible at will.
Re: I don't know ..
Cats can also make fish invisible.
Re: I don't know .. @Ole Juul
Have an upvote, that made me chuckle!
Re: I don't know ..
"Cats can also make fish invisible"
They are probably even quicker at making themselves invisible if they've made a fish invisible
Re: I don't know ..
I can do that with sardines.
Well Done
Help the Massive Chinese PLA develop invisibility so no-one will notice when the invade Taiwan, India, Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia etc.
What is that Chinese Take-away van doing parked outside? I dont remember ordering any Ch
Bending of light without phase preservation...
sounds like a recipe to use mirrors. It'll only work from a static point of view, but their demonstration videos show nothing beyond that.
Please tell me that I am wrong!
prisms not mirrors
It's all in the paper, and not complicated. They also describe the limitations.
Re: Bending of light without phase preservation...
You are wrong.
I hope you feel better now.
You hide the fish
By leaving it alone with the cat... amitite?
Cloaked cat ...
Iz romulan battle cruiser ...
From what I can see, HP made cloaking tech years ago.
*prints picture & holds between self and camera*
*is cloaked*
The fish will still bite the hook if I know where to find 'em, even if I can't see 'em. And I can send the dawgs after the fscking ground squirrels, even if there is tall grass to hide in.
Ability to use tools is all very well and good ... knowing which tool to use, and when, is far more important.
This toy is just that ...a lab toy with zero practical use.
Re: a lab toy with zero practical use.
Common practical uses for lab toys with "zero practical use" are as a demonstrations, proof-of-concept, or as educational equipment. I think this can function as all three.
Re: a lab toy with zero practical use.
>zero practical use.
didn't they say the same about LASERs?
Re: Whatever. @Kake
Jake, like Eadon, you never fail to perform to your stereotype.
Well done. Consistency is good, even if the consistency is bad.
Re: Whatever. @Kake
I dunno, I was expecting jake to come on and tell us this is nothing new, he made the first ones of these back in the 80s and can make his ranch disappear.
Re: Whatever. @Kake
Heh - Don't mind Jake. He's not used to being called out on his idiotic pronouncements -spent his life as small fish in a tiny pond I wager - He hasn't quite gotten used to the big bad innanet yet.
Re: a lab toy with zero practical use.
The practical use is fscking up Google's Street View photography.
Haven't magicians used this trick for years?
? ;)
I suspect they have.
Re: Haven't magicians used this trick for years?
Pepper's Ghost comes to mind.
so, silly question, why can't the wand be seen and the plants can be seen? I suspect the invisibility shield is actually a photograph. An easy demo to make for anyone with a camera, photo printer and a you tube account. I look forward to a plethora of invisible fauna with visible flora.
If you experiment with cats and goldfish, of course the fish will disappear.
Invisibul kitteh wants visibul cheezburger.
This is bullshit. You can tell because the cat went exactly where it was supposed to and took a seat. Cats never do what you want them to do.
Re: Shopped!
if my cat is anything to go by then the simple act of paying more attention to any given object than the cat is likely to cause the cat to go and sit there. Makes wrapping christmas presents fun.
Re: Shopped!
Ah, but the object appears to be a box, which as you know a cat can't resist.
Cat ina box
It's true, any box will put a cat right where you want it.
Re: Cat ina box
Every cat in every box ever:
Lame trick I think, hiding stuff behind a flash player "Error #2124" ... doesn't fool me for a minute.
Re: Exceptional!
Agreed*. Didn't Flash die already?
* I had Error#2036 myself
That cat is using the invisibility cloak for privacy...
... whilst its obviously setting up to take a poo! LOOK!
Re: That cat is using the invisibility cloak for privacy...
Funny, my wife said the same thing when she saw the Video. Her exact words were "Why am I watching a video of a cat getting ready to poop?"
Didn't they do this on Top Gear?
Penn and Teller, Amazing Randi, to the white phone
And in what way is anything in those videos any different than what you can see most nights in Vegas at countless shows?
Other than not being nearly as good as watching Penn and Teller - I swear that Teller could palm a running chainsaw.
There's another link between those videos and Penn and Teller, and that is

This was my second order for a motor cycle jacket and I returned both. I am a small which I initially ordered but had to return for it was very snug. So I ordered second jacket in a medium which was also very tight around shoulders and arms. So I won't be ordering jackets on line. I have to fit them in person. Sucks to be hit with return shipping but Overstock was nice not to hit me on my second jacket return!
This jacket is supposed to be made of lambskin leather then how come if feels like vinyl. Quality of leather & workmanship are very poor and it smells stink. I have a lambskin leather, so I know quality when I see and feel it and this jacket is not. I think the silver hardware cheapens the look of the jacket. This is my first return since I've been shopping on O and I'm a little upset that I'm charged with the shipping fee. Don't waste your hard earned money and don't buy this jacket.
This jacket had the look of faux leather. It did not look as luxurious as it does in the picture. Very lightweight. The color of the cognac was not very pretty.
I love this jacket. I get compliments whenever I wear it. It's warm and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it!
I didn't expect to get such a quality product .
I absolutely love this leather jacket! It is so soft and beautiful. I have had several positive comments. Definitely one of my favorite purchases ever. The color is slightly lighter in person, but no complaints.

Frames per second FPS Lag
MapleStory Forums : General MapleStory : General MS questions and answers
Oct 10 11
Okay, so ever since yesterday at around 1PM Pacific time, I've been getting huge FPS lag spikes on maple.
Around every 5 seconds or so, Maple will freeze (drop my FPS to 0) for 2 seconds.
I have tried Maple on my desktop and laptop computer, and both seem to lag.
I have tried rebooting my computers, rebooting my routers, Running Maple as an admin (Which is automatic), and have lowered Maple's Graphics and screen resolution. Even tried windowed mode, still getting the lag.
However, I went on Steam and tested out Crysis and Deus Ex; Both run flawlessly on max settings and on 1920x1080 resolution.
Anyone have a fix for this problem? I've honestly tried everything and can't seem to figure it out.

It's from mounts, everyone lags from them. Nexon's just too lazy to fix them.

Well, here we are again, with the last post being well over a year ago and the last re-design over 2 years ago. There's been some serious neglect as a result of social networking crowding from Facebook and now Google+.
At first, I was thinking to just scrap the ol' blog, but then I figured that I might give it one last try. But instead of duplicating what's already happening on the social networking sites, I am simplifying philomyth.us back down to the basics of blogging. I still haven't decided what I'll be posting, but I am leaning towards more long-form open-to-the-public articles that need a home.

Christopher Resetar's curator insight, February 13, 12:00 PM
Like other comments on this scoop, I really like this article, especially items #1 and #2. I really like those options because they are unconventional options that I still think would provide an appropriate level of challenge for the students as well as provide an alternative form of just a simple pencil and paper exam. I think option #1 is more feasible for elementary school because it would allow students to work on skills that are more age appropriate like consolidation of information and looking for quality source material.
Ruby Day's curator insight, February 14, 3:45 PM
Sounds like some great ideas to stimulate critical thinking
Audrey's curator insight, March 5, 6:51 PM
All 5 assessment methods involves students leading the learning. Asking the students questions based on their reading of the topic helps their analytical skills and allows them to be in charge of their learning.

NEW YORK (AP) -- One of the most controversial books about John F. Kennedy, William Manchester's "The Death of a President," is being reissued as an e-book and paperback.
Little, Brown and Company announced Monday that "Death of a President" will be available Oct. 8. It's currently out of print.
Manchester's book had been authorized by the Kennedy family soon after JFK's murder but was delayed after Jacqueline Kennedy threatened legal action to stop publication. She objected to plans to serialize the book and reportedly was concerned about passages that criticized then-President Lyndon Johnson, who had a tense relationship with the Kennedys.
Some material was removed. The book was published in 1967 and became a best-seller.
Numerous books are coming out this fall to mark the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.

In a few years, you may be able to change your supply-chain management software as easily as you can change your long-distance telephone services.
But for now, it might be best to wait and see how the chaotic market, fueled by a new kind of company, pans out.The new breed of companies - application service providers, or ASPs - allow their software to be used without being installed in the customer's local area network. About 100 ASPs are in operation.
Buying a license for a particular software package is expensive, even if amortized over three years for tax purposes. It often means a long and complex implementation. And if the software is superseded by a better version, the company is stuck unless it pays more money.
ASPs offer a deal that amounts to a rental option. The ASP ''hosts'' the software applications on its own server. There the applications are accessible to the customer through the Internet, and charged by the month.
''It's like the difference beying a generator for your house or hooking up to the grid,'' said Michael Mitsock, vice president of the application service provider business unit at Progress Software, Bedford, Mass.
Mitsock's company acts as a matchmaker between software companies and the ''bandwidth folks,'' the companies that provide the hardware and services to allow software companies to get online and become ASPs.
''For end-users, it's all good news,'' Mitsock said. ''It's hard to argue with a situation that would allow them to get access to top-of-the-line applications without having to make an investment in IT, servers and so on. You're not sitting there with a big server and a bunch of code. If you want to, you can just drop it.''
He added that the ASP model gives access to software package previously unaffordable to smaller users.
That's the theory.
The reality is that the market is in its infancy and the actual range of software offered is limited.
''The business model hasn't shaken out yet,'' Mitsock warned.
The APS business model has so far attracted enterprise resource planning vendors, according to Forrester Research Inc., Cambridge, Mass.
J.D. Edwards started off in 1998, and PeopleSoft, Oracle and SAP AG have followed. In each case, the ERP provider has formed partnerships with technology companies that can offer the Internet platform to support ASP services.
Aside from existing software companies offering their packages on an ASP basis, start-up and spinoff technology companies are creating one-stop shops that allow a customer to choose from a range of supply-chain software.
These include Corio in Redwood City, Calif.; FutureLink Distribution Corp. in Calgary, Alberta; Resource Partners Ltd. in Athens, Ga.; and USinternetworking Inc. (USi) in Annapolis, Md. Services they offer include personnel and customer management programs, enterprise resource planning and e-commerce applications, Forrester reports.
The current leader is USi, offering access to software from such companies as BroadVision (e-commerce), PeopleSoft (human resources), and Siebel Systems (customer service and sales force automation), and related implementation and support services.
Systems integrators such as KPMG International and IBM Global Services also have become interested in offering ASP services.
In theory, ASPs could host warehouse management systems, tracking and tracing software, transportation management - any application currently available. All a user would need would be the ability to send the ASP data for processing - whether it's purchase order numbers, tracking numbers, information on incoming freight or transportation requirements - and to receive the answers. Mitsock said only a computer with a Web browser would be needed.
Syntra Technologies, New York, hopes to offer all of its international trade logistics software services on an ASP basis. So does Celarix Inc., Boston, which is putting together a package of logistics software services to track and manage goods from raw materials to the store shelf.
''As far as the rental market is concerned, all software is equally interesting,'' Mitsock said.
But Forrester recently backed off its early prediction of ASP market revenue reaching $390 million in 1999.
''Vendors have dragged their feet in fully supporting applications for rental as the one-stop shops threaten to reduce their strategic importance,'' said Thomas Gormley, an analyst at Forrester.
He said companies such as USi and Corio must gobble up smaller regional companies to keep up with their own growth rates. It's unclear who will end up at the top.
''It has all the chaos characteristic of an early market,'' Mitsock said. ''No one's figured out the formula for success yet.''

At deadline's eve, little bump in Boston voter registrations
Sep. 3, 2013
Officials at Boston City Hall haven't seen many new voter registrations in the weeks leading up to this month's preliminary municipal elections, but are bracing for a possible blitz of new voters generated by mayoral hopefuls looking for an advantage in a crowded 12-person field.
The deadline to register to vote in the Sept. 24 preliminary is Wednesday. Read more
State House News Q&A: Mayoral candidates on liquor licensing
Aug. 30, 2013
In response to a News Service questionnaire, ten of the 12 candidates for mayor of Boston offered their positions on how state law could be altered to allow for more liquor licenses for the city. Currently, the Legislature selectively grants additional licenses for communities, but Boston has for years operated at the maximum number of licenses, creating high demand and steep prices for existing licenses. Mayor Thomas Menino supports a home rule petition from City Councilor Ayanna Pressley that would allow the city to do away with the cap and regulate its own licensing. Read more
Will next mayor make or break the Strand Theatre?
What will the next mayor of Boston do with the Strand Theatre, the Uphams Corner landmark that debuted as a movie palace in the waning days of World War I? Like a Charlie Chaplin character flickering across its earliest screen, the Uphams Corner landmark stumbled and lurched across the 20th century and, on more than one occasion, damn-near plunged hat-first into an abyss of debt and decrepitness. And, like the 'Little Tramp' himself, the Strand has proven to be an enduring and endearing figure – with the promise of new audiences and a heroic revival that has been years in the making.

Candidates talk policy in Dorchester Reporter survey
In July, the Dorchester Reporter prepared its own questionnaire for mayoral candidates and asked each of the 12 candidates on the Sept. ballot to participate. To date, nine of the 12 candidates have submitted the survey, which included biographical questions, details about their political ideology and specific policy questions that have both citywide and neighborhood-specific implications. The Reporter also included a "case study" section that asks candidates how they would deal with a longstanding redevelopment question in Uphams Corner: the Leon Electric Building. Read more
Mayoral candidates respond to Reporter survey
Nine of the twelve mayoral candidates have weighed in on a host of topics – from gun violence to the names of their role models – that were included in a questionnaire they received from the Dorchester Reporter. They offer varied and sometimes lengthy responses as to how they would deal with the key issues facing the city, and a new administration. Read more
Mayoral Candidate Video Survey: Education
The second part of DotNews.com's video survey of the candidates running for mayor of Boston focuses on education. Ten members of the 12-person field offer differing views on the city's school committee, charter school cap, superintendent search and more. To see the candidate's full response about how to improve Boston's schools, just click on the banner above his or her name.

In Roxbury rally, Golar Richie touts City Hall experience
Aug. 1, 2013
Charlotte Golar Richie shed her sometimes reserved demeanor on Wednesday night, dancing her way to the podium inside Hibernian Hall and pitching her candidacy to a friendly crowd of several hundred supporters.
Before her speech, pictures of her and Mayor Thomas Menino, the man she's hoping to succeed, were projected onto a screen above the podium — featuring candid shots of the pair during her tenure as his housing chief. Members of Team Menino, like Darryl Smith, a top operative for the mayor in Mattapan and Dorchester, circulated through the crowd. Read more

Oganga | Attack of the Hawkmen | Adventures in the Secret Service
Young Indy Home
Indy takes to the skies in this highflying thriller. The French Secret Service dispatches Indy to the Lafayette Escadrille to aid the allies in aerial reconnaissance of the German lines. Danger lurks as Indy faces off with the legendary ace of aces Manfred von Richthofen, known more commonly as the Red Baron. Indy's secret mission then takes him behind enemy lines to lure aircraft designer, Anthony Fokker, into defection to the allies. This dangerous mission becomes all the more important when Indy discovers a powerful secret weapon that Fokker has designed for the Germans.
Key Topics:
War in the third dimension; Lafayette Escadrille; Espionage
Historic People:

Air Power: US Participation in WWI
Originally a cavalry officer, Baron von Richthofen grew bored with the fighting on the Western Front and began looking to the skies. It's surprising to learn that the "Red Baron," as he became known, had to take flying lessons just like any other pilot. However, his natural ability and ambition drove him to become the top ace of World War I (80 kills). A legend in his own time, the "Red Baron" remains to this day the quintessential fighter pilot.

He is also known for developing the synchronization gear that allowed pilots to fire straight ahead through their propellor. Fokker was "employed" by Germany (Central Powers) throughout the war.

War in the Third Dimension: Aerial Warfare in World War I
When World War I began, the rival armies charged into battle with frightening new weapons that seemed ready to change the very nature of war. One promising new piece of military hardware -- the airplane -- wasn't quite ready to hit its mark. That didn't stop a few passionate advocates from making big plans for airplanes, or from dreaming up ways to use them in war. By the end of the war these visionaries would transform the flimsy airplanes of 1914 into powerful and dependable weapons, and take war where it had rarely gone before: beyond the two dimensional realm of our planet's surface, into the third dimension of the air above. Produced by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucelli. Written by Mark Page.
Running Time: (0:27:34)
Blood Red: The Life and Death of Manfred von Richthofen
Today, historians and aviation buffs still celebrate the Red Baron as the ideal fighter pilot. A daring knight of the sky who helped write the book on aerial combat during the world's first air war. For the man behind the myth, however, the real story is a tale of disillusionment; a blood red saga in which ancient ideals of chivalry, honor and duty came crashing down in the fires of modern war. Produced and written by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucell. Written by Mark Page.

Flying High for France: The Lafayette Escadrille
In a war that claimed millions of lives, most who served in the military fought because they had no choice. But the high flying men of the Lafayette Escadrille were different: they didn't have to be there. They were American adventurers who volunteered for World War One long before their country joined. They were lawyers, authors, heirs to banking and railroad fortunes, Ivy League graduates, friends of royalty, sons of privilege. All they wanted was a chance to fly. The young pilots came to the war with romantic ideas of adventure and heroism. They had no idea what they were in for. Produced and written by Karena O'Riordan.
Running Time: (0:26:13)
Anthony Fokker: The Flying Dutchman
On November 11, 1918, the Germans laid down their arms, finally ending World War I. In the surrender agreement, the Allies listed the numbers of cannons, machine guns and other weapons that Germany had to turn over. Yet of 1,700 airplanes demanded, only one type was so feared that it was mentioned by name: the D-7. The deadly machine was the masterwork of a 28 year-old Dutchman who had become Germany's most skilled -- and unconventional -- plane maker: Anthony Fokker. Produced and written by Mike Welt.

Below are current event articles that relate to events, topics, and people found in Attack of the Hawkmen.
Nearly a century after they died in battle, the remains of unidentified Canadian soldiers who fought in the First World War are still being found in Europe.
Today the Department of National Defence released the names of four who died during the Battle of Amiens in August 1918.
Their resting place was discovered in 2006 by then 14-year-old Fabien Demeusere, while digging in his back garden in Hallu, France, 120 kilometres north of Paris.
History remembers trench warfare as wasteful, futile, and uninspired, but in reality it was a deeply thought-out system that underwent constant revision. Here's how it worked during World War I.
Top image: A painting by Captain Kenneth Keith Forbes shows a Canadian 6-inch howitzer supporting British troops in the attack on Thiepval on 16 July 1916 during the Somme offensive. Via Canadian Artillery in Action.
It was around this time 100 years ago that the mobile battlefield along the Western Front ground to a screeching halt — a 440 mile stretch that barely moved in the ensuing four years.
Everyone knows about the horrors of life in the trenches of the First World War, but it's only recently that the anxieties of people back home in Britain have started to be talked about.
At long last, those feelings are being aired more widely, thanks to a new anthology of letters written, at the time, to The Daily Telegraph. The message these missives impart is of a nation that was desperate to provide support, of any kind, to our brave boys fighting on just the other side of the Channel.
Britain went to war on August 4 1914. In the second part of a four-day series, we document the dramatic events leading up to the declaration of war as they happened, hour-by-hour.
A light rain was falling on the evening of 2 April 1917 as Woodrow Wilson was driven from the White House to Capitol Hill, escorted by a unit of the United States cavalry, to address a specially convened joint session of Congress. According to contemporary accounts, the 28th president looked pale and nervous. But his words betrayed not the slightest doubt or hesitancy.
These days, however, Big Pit digs tourism, not coal; the party descending into the earth are American visitors. There are no working deep-mines remaining in South Wales; already in decline, the area's coalfield was annihilated in the wake of the 1984-5 Miners' Strike, the names of the closed collieries to toll like funeral bells. Mardy. Tower. Deep Navigation. Markham. Lady Windsor. How black was my valley a century ago, on the eve of the Great War, when there were a dozen collieries within sight, and another 600 coal mines across South Wales, employing 232,000 men, who hewed 57 million tons a year, a fifth of the entire output of the United Kingdom. The very earth vibrated to the metronomic percussion of thousands of subterranean men wielding the pick. Coal for the Navy. Coal for industry. Coal for locomotives. Coal for homes.
Movie legends including Charlie Chaplin, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg have attempted to tackle the First World War, but while some have achieved Oscars and box-office success, others have delayed peace talks and enraged renowned world leaders. One of the most famous films, A Farewell to Arms (1932), directed by Frank Borzage, has been digitally restored and is due for re-release in UK cinemas tomorrow.
1 HORATIO KITCHENER As the first British troops marched whistling off to the front in autumn 1914 the cliche of the hour was: "It'll be all over by Christmas." An experienced campaigner on three continents, Horatio Kitchener from Ballylongford, Co Kerry, knew it would be a long haul. As Secretary of State for War he put together the largest volunteer army the world had ever seen, and put industrial production on an efficient war footing.
A helmet which saved Eric Linklater's life during World War One has returned to the battlefields of Flanders. The Orkney writer had a miraculous escape in 1918 when the tin helmet was pierced by a German bullet. The helmet, which is now displayed in the Orkney Museum, has been loaned back to the Linklater family who took it to Belgium as part of commemorations by the Black Watch regiment. BBC Scotland's Fionn McArthur has been speaking to Eric's son, Magnus Linklater.
The National Archives currently has in its collection 1.5 million pages of handwritten diaries kept by soldiers of World War I. They're some of the most requested documents in the National Archives reading room, but until now have been accessible only to anyone who's made the trip to D.C. But now the archivisits are working to put them online, and you can help them. The project is called Operation War Diary, and it comes from a partnership between the National Archives, the citizen science initiative Zooniverse and the Imperial War Museum in the UK. The diaries have all been scanned and posted online for citizen historians to look at and transcribe. According to the project: "The war diaries contain a wealth of information of far greater interest than the army could ever have predicted. They provide unrivalled insight into daily events on the front line, and are full of fascinating detail about the decisions that were made and the activities that resulted from them."

FORT WORTH — Shelby, a friendly 14-year-old heeler-Lab mix, has probably spent every day of her life walking around the Ridgmar neighborhood in west Fort Worth, her owner, Tami Ellis, figures. And like most longtime residents, Shelby likes it that way.Most of the houses in Ridgmar were built in the 1960s and '70s, and there has been relatively little turnover among residents."It was one of the first neighborhoods that had limited access and was well planned," said Larry Patterson, president of the Ridgmar Neighborhood Association. "There are only a couple of ways in and a couple of ways out."But it is a convenient place to live. The 670-house development is adjacent to both Ridgmar Mall, built in 1974, and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. Many residents are active or retired military and employees or retirees of Lockheed Martin.The hospital district and downtown are about 10 minutes to the east on Interstate 30. Marvin Leonard, of Leonards Department Store, bought land from the Amon Carter Foundation in 1956 to lay the groundwork for Ridgmar. Leonard built Shady Oaks Country Club in 1957, the same year that development began on Ridgmar.Developers had built some houses in the area in the late 1950s when the area was remote, rolling land overlooking then-Carswell Air Force Base. Interstate 30 was being built along the southern edge of Ridgmar. Ridgmar is in good company. Westover Hills is on Ridgmar's east just across Roaring Springs Road, and the Ridglea neighborhoods are to the south. A gated community, Ridgmar Estates, is to the west. The Ridglea neighborhoods predate Ridgmar.The variety of Ridgmar developers left a blended heritage of designs. There are two-story and single-story houses, some with rear-entry garages. "It's still a really great neighborhood. Some houses have deteriorated, but on the whole, it actually has improved," Patterson said. "People have remodeled and added on."Patterson and his wife, Carol, have lived in Ridgmar since 1973, rearing a daughter who now has a house of her own in the neighborhood."There's 13 houses on my block, and up until a few years ago, it was mostly original owners," Larry Patterson said.Shelby's owner Ellis, a resident since 1986, is a Realtor and says the area is "an easy sell."Buyers like the character of the older neighborhood, the mature trees, and the proximity to downtown and the hospital district."There was a little bit of a slump a few years ago," Ellis said, "but now there's a lot of remodeling going on, and younger people just love it."The Mary and Marvin Leonard Park in the neighborhood's heart was originally intended to be a school. When that didn't happen, it became a gathering place for neighbors and later a formal park. In 1982, trees were added along with a half-mile walk around its perimeter. A new playground structure replaced the old wooden and metal equipment about five years ago.Angela Holcombe is a second-generation Rigmar resident who gets her exercise walking the park."There's quite a few multigenerational families here, people I grew up with," she said. "Our parents live here, and we enjoy it being a nice, family-oriented place."Public school students in the neighborhood attend Mary Louise Phillips Elementary School, William Monnig Middle School and Arlington Heights High School.The volunteer Ridgmar Neighborhood Association was founded in 1981, and about 60 percent of the households pay $10 a year to belong. Patterson started a community web page in 2010, and his email list includes 70 percent of the 670 households."I send out emails daily on crime reports, lost and found animals, items for sale," he said. "It keeps the neighborhood connected."Though the busy shopping mall nearby and apartment complexes on the neighborhood's south generate some crime, Patterson said it is not a major problem. The Ridgmar neighbors' National Night Out event draws hundreds of people to the Mary and Marvin Leonard Park, and Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price held a walking town meeting there in January.Traffic has gotten heavier lately on Ridgmar Boulevard, say some neighbors, but the curving residential streets within Ridgmar don't invite drive-throughs.There are still projects to be done and issues to be addressed, Patterson said.Ridgmar neighbors are working with the Tarrant Regional Water District on a connection to the Trinity Trails system, and they are also collaborating with the city on a fall cleanup of nearby Kings Branch Creek."We have a gas well, and we do keep an eye on what's going on there," said Patterson. "So far, that's not been a problem."Ridgmar's biggest mystery?The park, and even a few back yards, are said by neighbors to be hiding a legacy from World War II.Concrete anti-aircraft bunkers were built on the unimproved land during the 1940s to safeguard the Convair aircraft bomber plant, the forerunner of General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin.When Ridgmar development began, the bunkers had to be broken up and removed, though one is still said to be buried under the southwest corner of Leonard Park.Ron Rudder, a Ridgmar resident since 1994, says another is in his back yard."It's broken up, but you can still tell what's there," he said.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Guay (or Tom 5) is a guitar player who joined White Zombie[1] while studying art at Parsons School of Design which he attended from 1985 to 1989. Guay was usually credited as Tom Five, reportedly because his style sounded like five guitarists playing at once.[2] He played guitar for the metal band Angel Rot from 1988 to 2003 and performed as singer for the Black Sabbath tribute band Rat Salad. He currently sings and plays guitar for Sonic Medusa.

NEW YORK — Crowded environments, increased risky behavior and diverse populations typical within the college setting were associated with increased risk for disease outbreaks on campus, according to a presentation here.
"There are specific characteristics and features of a college campus that promote the spread of infectious diseases," James C. Turner, MD, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Virginia, said during his presentation. "Congregate living and learning environments, increased sexual experimentation or increased intimate contact among students, very crowded social gatherings, and the profound geographic diversity of students both domestically and internationally, are contributory to disease transmission in the college setting."

The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) awarded more than $186 million to the Illinois Department of Transportation for a high-speed rail project that will reduce travel times and put Americans back to work this spring. The project will extend construction of the corridor north to Joliet, allowing for 110-mph service along nearly 70% of the route. Construction is already under way on the Chicago – St. Louis corridor, and work on the extension to Joliet will begin this spring. Once construction is complete, travelers can expect reductions of more than an hour in trip time, with improved on-time performance as well. Ridership has grown 137% over the last five years. The state has plans to add more frequent trips, and further reduce trip times on this popular route in the future.The corridor will also benefit from next-generation American-made trains, funded as part of a previously announced $782 million grant that will pump new life into domestic manufacturing. States will purchase 33 quick-acceleration locomotives and 120 bi-level passenger cars to operate in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, California, Washington and Oregon.

DEFINITION of 'First-Loss Policy'
A type of property insurance policy that provides only partial insurance. In the event of a claim, the policyholder agrees to accept an amount less than the full value of damaged, destroyed or stolen items/property. In return, the insurer agrees to not penalize the policyholder for under-insuring their goods or property.
First-loss policies are most commonly used in the case of theft or burglary insurance to insure against events where a total loss is extremely rare (i.e. the burglary of all goods contained in a large store). In a first-loss policy claim event, the policyholder does not seek compensation for losses below the first-loss level. Premiums are calculated proportionately - meaning they are not based on the full value of total goods or property.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'First-Loss Policy'
Let's consider an example of what a first-loss policy would cover. If a store owner held $2.5 million worth of goods in his/her store but only assumed that the most s/he could lose at any one time due to theft or burglary would be approximately $50,000, s/he might obtain a first-loss policy for that amount. In the event that the store was burglarized and the owner lost more than $125,000 worth of stock s/he would only be compensated for the $50,000 worth of loss as stated under the first-loss policy.

Grammy-winning rapper Eminem stirred a brief ruckus this weekend in Scotland as weather conditions forced him to demand transportation to the performance stage of his T In The Park set.
According to reports, bad weather conditions forced Em to take serious safety precautions.
Eminem reportedly refused to walk 40ft to the stage for his headlining performance at T In The Park yesterday. The rapper, 37, is alleged to have been concerned that he would get mud on his trainers and demanded transportation to take him to the stage. According to the Sunday Mail, organisers had to rush to hire a coach for him. He then walked to the coach with plastic bags on his feet. (Digital Spy)
The delay forced Em to keep fans waiting for over nearly an hour.
The stroppy Slim Shady star was 40 minutes late on the main stage because he would not walk across a muddy road to get there. Instead, T in the Park organisers were forced to hire a coach to transport the tough-guy rapper in case his trainers got dirty. Eminem, 37, walked from his dressing room to the coach with plastic bags round his feet. The driver turned right, drove 40ft, and stopped to let his delicate passenger off again. But neither the headliner hold-up nor the rain could dampen the spirits of the massive crowd. (Daily Record)
While at the event, Em performed new records from his latest album, Recovery.
The undoubted star of the show, Eminem keeps fans waiting. And waiting. And waiting. After a near half hour wait the lights go up and the Detroit rapper emerges in spectacular form from the floor of the Main Stage. Arriving to a hero's welcome Eminem proves that rap can exist as a stadium commodity. Deeply ingrained in American culture, the Detroit star's music nonetheless transgresses such trifling difficulties as the Atlantic ocean. Playing the bulk of new album 'Recovery' the rapper finishes with a medley of classic hits when Eminem seemed to throw grenades in American culture with almost carefree style. (Clash Music)
His new album has already sold over a million copies in just 14 days.
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem's Recovery remained at No. 1 this week with 313,300 sold copies. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the rap star's latest effort has sold 1,057,700 records in 14 days. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

I think many Wizards' (or Sporting) fans have admitted that they could or will eventually get used to the name. The logo, however, has been more universally (though not entirely) panned as confusing and sub-par.I guess the whole thing begs a question for me. How can you attack someone for being critical about a rebranding that has been (at best) luke-warmly received when they are doing so because they want said team's image to be intact.It's all neither here nor there I guess. The name is kind of cliche and unoriginal (more so than Wizards maybe) and the logo is confusing and redundant. It's poor execution on the logo, but what do you expect working with Adidas.Go Kansas City's soccer team! comment by Guest - Jul 18, 2014 - back to the top A7JFqI I appreciate you sharing this post.Really thank you!
