Spruce Creek Fly-In is the world's first total fly-in community. Pilots park their airplanes at their homes which are located on taxiways with access to a private airstrip. Conceived, planned, and launched by McKinley Conway, the project today provides an unique life style for more than 800 families. Here is the background.
History of the Fly-In Concept
Soon after WWII McKinley Conway bought a used single-engine Cessna 170 and began using it for business travel around the USA. He quickly discovered that he had great mobility in the air but on the ground there was very little. At almost every stop he had to call for and wait for ground transportation. Over a period of several years he began to imagine a new world in which he could taxi his airplane to the offices and plants he wanted to visit and park at the door.
At the same time, Conway observed that scores of airfields built during WWII were being declared surplus and handed off to local governments. Conway saw an opportunity -- convert them into fly-in office and industrial parks! He began a missionary campaign, offering his services as a consultant.
During the ensuing decade Conway planned and promoted such developments at a number of former military bases in Georgia and Florida and at other sites from the Northeast to the West Coast. His experience was summarized in a book The Airport City published in 1977.
Today, there are several hundred fly-in developments around the world. As fleets of small airplanes are brought into service to meet the needs of nations with large land masses -- such as Russia, Brazil, and Australia -- this style of development is expected to increase.
History of Spruce Creek Fly-In Community
During the early 1960s, McKinley Conway made a survey of surplus military airfields in Florida. He made aerial photos, noted access and other features. Then he approached the owners -- mostly local governments -- and proposed that he prepare a development plan for them. He was subsequently retained to plan fly-in industrial parks at such locations as Punta Gorda, Melbourne, and Marianna.
One of the sites which particularly appealed to Conway was the old Samsula airfield near Daytona Beach. He saw the potential for a total fly-in community, featuring residential, recreational and environmental areas. Having received no reaction to letters, Conway went to Daytona and met with the director of development, Bob Miles, and other officials.
Nothing came of that early visit. Daytona officials wanted to do something with the property, but their hope was that it would be chosen for the site of a new state university. Unfortunately, the state located the university elsewhere and the city officials were left with a dilemma -- they had lost in a highly-publicized competition and there was an election coming up.
It was at this psychological moment that city leaders decided that they liked Conway's proposal for an exciting new type of fly-in community. They did not, however, want to undertake it as a city project. Thus, the mayor and council members flew to Atlanta to make a proposal to Conway: "we will sell you the property at a very attractive price if you will handle the development".
This posed a dilemma for Conway. He was not a real estate developer and had no desire to be. Neither did he have the money required. Yet the project offered one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to do something really special.
Conway's response was to call a group of Atlanta pilot-friends together and lay out the proposition -- they would chip in, buy the property, and then arrange with a Florida developer to implement the project. This plan met with the approval of the Daytona officials. Early in 1969 the Atlanta group signed a purchase contract.
Following that, a year was spent in conducting environmental studies, obtaining FAA airspace approval, getting an overall plan approved by the zoning board. Before the process was over Conway had obtained more than 40 permits.
Finally, in July, 1970, the project could be officially launched. The Atlanta investors flew into the old airstrip where they were met by city officials for the property transfer ceremony. Fittingly, a ribbon was stretched across the airstrip and one of the investors cut it with the propeller of his Bonanza.

Spruce Creek Fly-In: Original Investors(Excerpted from a 1972 brochure)
Most pace-setting developments result from the foresight, determination, and ability of a team which provides strong leadership. In the case of Spruce Creek, such a team did not just happen -- it was carefully chosen.
Involved in Fly-In Concept, Inc., and its ventures are a group of civic minded men who are also successful businessmen, and, in most cases, aircraft owners and pilots of long experience. They bring together a broad range of skills in development, conservation, planning, finance, aviation and recreation.
For example, early investors and board members include Mack Long, a senior Delta pilot who flies those big Boeing 747's; Bill Slaughter, who practices the fly-in concept by keeping his Cessna in a "planeport" attached to his new Florida home; Eric Moser, a bank equipment executive who pilots a twin Comanche; Floyd Traver, a building contractor who favors a Cessna Skylane; Mark Taylor, a commercial development executive with an interest in a fixed base operation and multiple flying skills; Ed Cornish, an official of Encylopedia Brittanica, who flies a Beech Baron; Dr. John Heard, top M.D. in an Atlanta clinic and owner of a Cessna 310; Georgia Senator Frank Eldridge, who covers his district in a Beech Bonanza; Pat Epps, well-known Atlanta FBO and member of a top aviation family; Bob Brown, an aviation insurance executive who flies the circuit of airports he insures.
Other early investors serving as an advisory team include manufacturer Paul Potter, long-time Civil Air Patrol Official; general contractor Frank Amersoni, Harrold Bowen, owner of a Cessna 401; leading architect A. Thomas Bradbury; ecologist Dr. L. Lehr Brisbin; flying executive Ralph Brooks; Delta pilot and State Representative Stan Collins; banker B. Olin Cox, an official of the Baptist Home Mission Board; insurance executive Harlan Dahl, owner of a Beech Debonaire; banker Carrol Davis, who handles aircraft financing; pilot Herman Guffey, current program chairman, Institute of Navigation; George Gunn, former airport owner; Dr. Larry Howard, pilot, microbiologist and director of the state crime laboratory; Walter Keenan, former Navy pilot, businessman; former Air Force pilot and businessman Albert Kramer; former Naval Aviator Ed Lindgren, owner of an import business; National Airlines pilot Ed Lunsford, Coral Gables; Atlanta Journal award-winning columnist and aviation writer John Pennington; consulting engineer Dan Sewell, who flies a twin Comanche; engineer James Smith, who designs hangars ranging up to C5-A proportions.
Others who have gotten in early via lot purchases at Spruce Creek or investment in FIC include distributor Bill Low, who flies a Beech Baron; Pan American pilot Joe Zicone of Miami; Floyd Jillson, well-known newspaper photographer; Jim Hodges, Sears Roebuck executive who is an aircraft owner and pilot; A. C. Martinez, an Encyciopedia Brittanica executive and aircraft owner and pilot from Houston, Texas; Harry Haake, analyst with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company; and K. J. Goodroe, pilot with Eastern Airlines.
It is significant that some 85 to 90 percent of the equity in FIC at this point has been put up by these leaders. Those who conceived of the Spruce Creek project have had sufficient faith in it that they have chosen to invest their own money.
Altogether, it is a winning combination!
Spruce Creek Fly-In: Current Information
Spruce Creek today is a thriving community of more than 800 families. Taxiway access lots have been sold out and there is talk of limiting the number of airplanes which can be based there.
The site has appealed greatly to airline pilots. Many live at Spruce Creek Fly-In and commute to flying assignments elsewhere -- it is not uncommon for a pilot to fly his small single-engine airplane from Spruce Creek to a nearby air carrier airport and shuttle to New York where he captains a Boeing 747 around the world.
Perhaps the best-known resident of Spruce Creek Fly-In is actor John Travolta. He has attracted attention operating his Learjet from the small strip. Many residents do their own aircraft maintenance work, rebuild old aircraft, or assemble kits as hobbies. Frequent community affairs afford endless opprtunities for "hangar flying".

Snails in the genus PartulaThere are 17 species of Partula currently in captive breeding programs.
Averaging only about .5 inch in shell length, partulid snails live on the stems, trunks, and leaves of many plant species. The snails remain fastened to the undersides of leaves during dry periods but emerge to feed and mate when it rains, mostly at night. More than 100 species of Partula once existed on islands stretching across the South Pacific from Palau to French Polynesia. Now, nearly 70 percent of these species are extinct in the wild.
Currently, six zoos in the U.S. participates in the captive-breeding Species Survival Plan for the Partula nodosa (extinct in the wild): Akron Zoo, Detroit Zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Roger Williams Park Zoo, St. Louis Zoo and Woodland Park Zoo.
Valleys and forested slopes of volcanic islands of the South Pacific, particularly the Society Islands of French Polynesia, including Tahiti.
Habitat loss
Partula nodosa is one of 17 species in the international captive breeding program. P. nodosa is currently bred in 6 U.S. zoos and is extinct in the wild.
Field surveys on the islands of Tahiti and Moorea have revealed both previously unrecorded populations of Partula and the devastation of habitat destruction and introduced predators. Dr. Trevor Coote has conducted these surveys for the project over the last several years.

The St. Bonaventure Men's basketball program is coming off of a season where they made the NCAA's for the first time since 2000. This year's team doesn't just want to repeat, but prove they weren't a one man operation.
To repeat their Atlantic 10 championship, the Bonnies must first reload as they will be without their leading scorer and rebounder Andrew Nicholson, who was drafted 19th overall by the Orlando Magic. However, they know one player won't fill that void.
"We have to do it collectively, each guy has to elevate their game. We have to make up for 19 points and 8.5 rebounds and not one guy is going to do that." said Bonnies Head Coach Mark Schmidt
Next in line to help step up is senior Demitrius Conger - who was second on the team in both points and rebounds. Conger is coming off of an A-10 All-Championship team performance.
"Just try to improve in every aspect of my game. It is more of a team aspect than just about me, it will be a group effort." said Conger.
This year's group will include Michael Davenport and Marquise Simmons - both are coming off season ending injuries - and both could crack the starting lineup. "With great teams you see a lot of consistency. Year after year they can put great years in back-to-back and that is what we are looking to do" said Davenport.
The Bonnies tip-off their season at home Friday, November 9th versus Bethune-Cookman.

Relatively easy to put together. Color of shade is silver/gray just as I hoped. It is a perfect compliment to my master bedroom. I am very glad I purchased this and I would do it again.
This light fixture is lovely! We put it in our master bedroom in the center of a recessed tray ceiling. We did struggle a bit with the installation - the threaded nipple in the center that attatches the hanging chain to the ceiling was too long for our application, and we ended up severing the wires when we adjusted it. We had to hacksaw the nipple by about 1/2" (be careful to replace the bushing!), and then it was perfect. When you look at it closely it does seem a little cheaply made, but when you're looking at it up on the ceiling from 8 feet away, it's simply gorgeous and seems much more expensive. This is just what I wanted for my bedroom, it's modern with an antique-y feel.

Wide Terrarium 1 1
Bought Two The glass dome is seamless and very attractive. I bought one as a Valentines / Birthday gift for my sister. She loves it! I liked the one I bought for my sister well enough that I called the store to have the last available wide terrarium put on hold until I could get back to the store. Today I purchased the one I had on hold. I am using it as a LED candle holder. They are a little pricey but I love it. February 5, 2013

Not For Black/Darkest Brown Hair My hair was black/brown and I used this lightener with 3 Light Activator powder packets and 20 vol, as per the directions. I was expecting my hair to be bleached as light as possible, considering the products claims. However, my hair was left BRIGHT PUMPKIN ORANGE. No different than boxed bleach from Walmart. Seriously. I had to bleach TWICE to get my hair pale yellow. Even after one application, my hair was left feeling dry and damaged. July 19, 2013
Eh... My hair was a bright copper color after bleaching out permanent black hair dye. I followed all of the directions for this (20 vol. developer, activator packets), but used only a half-batch because my hair is short. Unfortunately, it only lifted a few levels and barely took any of the warm tones out. I wanted more of a neutral base, but I have a dark to med bright strawberry blonde now. Perhaps this works better on more "virgin" hair, but I found it is not good for getting dark colors out. April 15, 2013
My Favorite Lightener I started using 7th stage about 15 years ago and loved it on the first try. This is my go-to product for lifting my level 2 resistant warm toned hair to level 8/9 light blonde in one step. A few tips for how I use it. -Use a tint bowl and brush for mixing and application. This will ensure a smooth mixture and even coverage. -Use 20 vol (6%) creme developer. When using 20 vol liquid, it's turns to a thick gel that isn't so easy to work with and tends to dry out quickly. Creme gives better coverage on my thick hair. -DO NOT USE 30 VOL DEVELOPER!!! The people who stated they used 30 vol are messing up the formula; 20 vol is recommend so that the drabbers actually get a chance to do their job properly. -Excpect the mixture to be blue. Those are the drabbers to cancel out the red/gold tones. No, they won't gove your hair a blue tint at all. -Be sure to use the activator packets. 7th stage doesn't work without them. If this is your first time using this pick up 2 packets and do a strand test first. -DON'T USE 30 vol DEVELOPER! The people who stated they used 30 vol, are using this incorrectly and shame on the people who are Salon Pros doing this.This actually messes up the drabbing action. 30 vol will lift too quickly and the drabbers won't work properly. 20 volume is recommend so that the drabbers work as the hair is decolorized. -Rinse well with warm water for a few minutes, somtimes it's a pain to rinse out . Wear gloves while doing this because it's a little more gentle on your you hair in this fragile state. shampoo and use step 1 of the ApHogee two step protein treatment. This stuff is great for strengthening and work to even out porosity for even toning. Follow the directions on the bottle. I use this once a month to help with breakage. -Tone/tint, process,rinse and deep condition. If you're using a vegetable dye you may not need to deep condition. March 17, 2013

This story is part of World Pulse's Campaign to End Violence Against Women. These testimonies, along with hundreds of others, were delivered to the fifty-seventh session of the Commission on the Status of Women.
World Pulse believes that women's stories, recommendations, and collective rising leadership can—and will—bring an end to gender-based violence. The EVAW Campaign elicits powerful content from women on the ground, strengthens their confidence as vocal grassroots leaders, and ensures that influencers and powerful institutions hear their stories.
INDIA: War Against Rape
- Comments (3)

Unless this is done, the character assassination of women will continue to happen. In India, less than 205 women are active participants in politics—a fact that has put the country in 105th position in the world. This is unlikely to improve much unless the political parties care to become gender-sensitive.
Police must own responsibility as well. The record of Indian police is appalling when it comes to acts against gender-based violence. They refuse to register cases against rapists; they delay arrests allowing defendants to escape; and they fail to perform proper investigations. The proof of the utter failure of our police departments lies in the fact that of the 5,337 rape cases in the last decade, in 3,860 cases, the culprits were either acquitted or discharged by courts for lack of 'proper' evidence.
In all likeliness, this sordid scenario will not change until the police force gets truly serious, owns responsibility for its failure, and plugs the holes that exist within its system, including its causal attitude toward rape. According to a recent study by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India, every 40 minutes a girl or woman is raped in India. Now, considering that India is neither a failed state nor in a war, these statistics indicate that the whole society has collectively failed to create a safe environment for its women to live in.
The reasons are not hard to guess: Every time a girl is raped or sexually violated, instead of feeling like a victim, she feels like the one who has committed a crime herself. Because, we, the people of India, see rape as a moral fall out. We consider a rape victim as someone who has become 'unholy' and has brought disgrace to herself and to those around her. We, therefore, declare her a fallen woman and stigmatize her forever.
This is why rape victims do not speak against their ordeal as often as they should. If this continues to happen, rapes will remain common and women will continue to suffer in silence— even if the culprits of the Delhi gang rape are punished.
Finally, we must also take responsibility for not demanding a zero-impunity policy against rape and sexual violence. As common citizens, we have the right to justice. If we don't claim that right now, if we stay quiet every time a rapist or a molester walks free, we are not only failing to stand up for ourselves, but also continuing to endanger women.
Brutal and ghastly though it was, the gang rape of Delhi has given us a chance to stop the barbarism that has gone on for so long in India. This is our moment of reckoning: Not only do we have a great deal of public awareness on violence against women, but we also have the attention of the entire global community. Millions of people across the world have heard of the gang rape and are waiting to see what efforts we make to end rape overall.
We can seize this opportunity to reform our laws, our behavior, and above all our hearts and minds. We can seize this opportunity to root out gender-based violence from our society. And in doing so, we'll be sending a message to those who are fighting the same battle in other regions that it is indeed possible to transform a dangerous society into a safe and livable place for all women, for generations to come.
Or, we can talk in rhetoric, dodge our responsibility, blame each other, and go down in history as a nation that had an opportunity to free itself of sexual violence but didn't care enough to grab it.
Bravo :) encouraging as
Bravo :) encouraging as usual...
I live in my convoluted mind....
Dear Friend. You know well
Dear Friend.
You know well about the sufferings of women and the number of rape in every year of Bangladesh. After gang rape of Delhi, unfortunately more than one similar incident held in the country though strong legal punishment against rapist and the voices of NGO's people and civil society is present here. Sorry to say, number of rape incident is not reducing. One impact of these collective initiatives is visualizing a hope as once maximum incident of rape were silent due to social taboo but now the women with courage raise voice after such happening for punishment of rapist. We need a great alliance against rape and all other causes of women's sufferings in this sub-continent. Come forward to move together.

You are not alone
Dear Stella,
You are not alone in this struggle. In Sierra Leone, It is disheartening to note that in the month of May alone, the ministry of Social Welfare Gender and Children's Affairs recorded over 100 rape and other sexual related cases of girls mostly under 14 in the capital Freetown. 15 victims of this incidents were severely injured. It is deeply sad that despite efforts by NGOs and other civil society group to end this menace it is still sky-rocketing especially in the mining regions. I think punishments for rape need to be made stringent and there are still challenges in the areas of law enforcement for rape in developing countries.
Thanks again for bring this issue to the fore.

Pepper's Bar & Grill Press Release
CE Fire Dawgs Assist FSS with Safe Reopen of Favorite Dining Spot
By Sara Harr, 8th Force Support Squadron
(Kunsan AB, RoK)- The 8th Civil Engineering Squadron Fire and Emergency Services Flight recently averted a potential disaster by assisting the 8th Force Support Squadron with the new Pepper's Bar & Grill at Kunsan Air Base's West Winds Golf Course.
As part of normal operating procedures, CE Fire Dawgs performed a full safety inspection on the soon-to-be-reopened Pepper's Bar & Grill, noting discrepancies that could have resulted in a tragedy. In 2001, Pepper's originally opened at Kunsan AB; however, the duct systems were improperly modified, resulting in a severe fire hazard.
"Although the contractor is ready, willing, and able to open the facility, we're unable to operate the kitchen until the duct system is replaced," said Mr. Lon Shadel, 8th Force Support Squadron deputy. "The CE Red Devils are on it and working a contract to replace the system and resolve the issue," Mr. Shadel continued.
"We definitely want to extend our gratitude to the CE Fire Dawgs for catching this discrepancy," said Major Garry Alexander, 8th Force Support Squadron operations officer. "We want to make sure every member of the Wolf Pack enjoys a meal in a safe environment, and our fellow MSG teammates played an integral role in this goal."
Once renovation of the duct work is complete, Pepper's Bar and Grille will offer a wide range of menu selections. Pepper's lounge is open for business now—Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. We invite all members of the Wolf Pack to visit Pepper's Lounge to enjoy a refreshing beverage in a relaxed atmosphere!
For more information or updates, contact Mr. Jim Wolfe at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Having your homeland engulfed by the ocean because of climate change doesn't make you a refugee, or so the High Court of New Zealand ruled last week when it dismissed the case of Ioane Teitiota, a man from the low-lying Pacific island nation of Kiribati.
If the I-Kiribati (the term for Kiribati nationals) and other Pacific islanders are not refugees, the question remains, what are they—and what conventions can be put in place to protect them?

Indiana lawmakers hold public hearing to discuss Sunday alcohol sales
Many large grocery stores support Sunday sales
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana lawmakers are asking Hoosiers to weigh in on whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales in Indiana.
A public hearing was held on Wednesday to hear testimony from business owners and customers.
Some lawmakers are pushing proposed legislation that would end the state's long-running ban on Sunday alcohol sales.
"Opinions have changed. More than 53,000 Hoosiers have signed a petition in support of moving our state into the 21st century, joining a growing number of states that have repealed their antiquated blue laws," said Rep. Sean Eberhart, R-Shelbyville.
Those numbers did not impress a Sunday sales opponent from Evansville.
"Well, according to the 2010 census, we've got 4.7 million people over 21 in the state of Indiana. So if 53,000 people have signed up and said they want change, that's one percent," said Michael Lockard.
Area grocery store chain Kroger is among the group of stores that support lifting the ban.
"If you extrapolate all of that back, then what we're talking about is $300-600 million in revenue lost to Indiana businesses just on Sunday," said Kroger spokesman John Elliott. "People are not going over to Defiance, Ohio, buying a case of beer, driving back to Ft. Wayne and getting the rest of their shopping list. We lose that entire shopping excursion."
The Indiana Retail Council also supports the ban and says that it is "unfair to consumers," costing the state $9 million in lost revenue.
Meanwhile, smaller package liquor stores say lifting the ban would make it tougher to compete with the larger grocery store chains.
"The effort is not a grass roots effort, as they claim, but rather a well-funded campaign by national chains to dominate the market," said John Livengood with the Association of Beverage Retailers. "We are asking you to protect your public policy, that we built our business on, that we depend on for survival."
The committee chairman has the ultimate power to decide whether a bill receives a vote, but Rep. Bill Davis, R-Portland, said he will consult with his members before deciding what to do.

" It is absolutely incredible the amount of money spent on this swap. The mayor states that we are broke yet nothing is too good for education officials. Notice how the writer did not get a figure on what this cost us the taxpayers.
With things like video conferencing and the likes of instant notifications was this really best and why did we not know earlier it was going to happen.
Another big blunder by a mayor that can't do as he says. "

" If it's important to have Education all together, Why isn't it as important to have the fire department together with it's training and fire marshal's office? They were all separated to make room for the ED Dept. Now firefighters have to go down to the small firehouse on Baldwin Street to go to training. Hopefully there isn't a fire in the north or west ends while they're down there. I don't even know where they moved the fire marshal to now. Probably a basement somewhere. Chief Martin should be protesting these moves. "

Women's soccer explodes for eight goals
September 29, 2012
Junior Lauren Price
WILMINGTON – Now this is the way to start Ohio Athletic Conference action.
The Wilmington College women's soccer team found the back of the net early and often Saturday at Charlie Gilhart Field, beating Muskingum 8-0.
"We talked about coming ready to play," said WC head coach Steve Spirk. "Today we just didn't take a lot of shots, we took good shots. I think we have good balance. We can attack on the left and attack on the right, but we do attack on the left a lot."
Wilmington unleashed 26 shots, 19 of which were on goal. While the Fightin' Quakers were opening up a barrage of shots on the Muskingum goal, they were not allowing many scoring opportunities for their opponents. The visitors didn't manage a single shot in the first half, and finished the game with four shots – three of which were on goal.
Part of the defensive credit will go to freshman defender Ashley Stockton (Waynesville, OH/Waynesville) as she thwarted several Muskie runs in the back third. Stockton has been pressed into increased action with the injury to Sammy Miller.
"We knew she could play, she just needed the opportunity," said Spirk. "We played a huge level of club, she understands the position and reads the game well."
In the game's 16th minute, junior Jenni Marck (Wyoming, OH/Wyoming) gave Wilmington the lead off a senior Rachel Gutowski (Petoskey, MI/Petoskey) free kick. In the first of four different Quakers to find the back of the net for the first time this season, junior Paij Shelton (Hillsboro, OH/Hillsboro) scored in the 22nd minute with the assist going to freshman Lauren Lewis (Wilmington, OH/Wilmington).
Sophomore Camille Gentille (Brownsburg, IN/Brownsburg) in the 36th minute, freshman Erika Good (Miamisburg, OH/Miamisburg) in the 64th minute and freshman Taylor Miller (Enon, OH/Greenon) in the 89th minute all scored their first goals of the season. Gentille scored a second goal in the 53rd minute for Wilmington.
Senior Sarah Watters (Cincinnati, OH/Turpin) scored her team-high fifth goal of the season, while freshman Rachelle Bowen (Xenia, OH/Xenia) added her second goal of the season.
Wilmington (8-2-1 overall, 1-0 OAC) travels to Tiffin 7 p.m. Wednesday to play Heidelberg in OAC action.

Castle Review: Moving Forward, Standing Stillby Courtney Morrison at . Comments
Wow. Just... wow.
Who knew that an hour filled with mostly clips from previous seasons could be so amazing? In "Still", Beckett steps on an activated explosive and must stay put while they try to disarm. Castle, being the gentleman he is, refuses to leave. So what happens when you put these two in an intense situation? Amazing things. Time to talk Castle...
In the wake of the Boston Marathon tragedy, ABC had delayed this episode a week. The network absolutely did the right thing. In a touching and tension-filled hour, things were said, things were shown and it was pretty awesome.
The bomber had planted an explosive under his own floorboard after finding out he had Stage 4 Brain Cancer and a son he couldn't find.
From there, this episode was filled with clips of amazing moments between Caskett that even a non-shipper would adore.
First, let's acknowledge that Castle is one of a kind. The man stayed with his woman while she stood on an explosive. That is true love.
Second, he was still able to make jokes and keep her mind off of it while making her smile. Pretty much unreal.
Third, between the tense moments and Castle and Beckett's amazing crime solving skills, they were able to disarm the bomb at the last minute. Not that there was ever any doubt that Beckett would be fine. Still, regardless, I didn't expect to tear up from watching clips of episodes that I have seen before.
So, let's talk flashbacks. Which were the best? Castle thinking he's a cop... the inappropriate comments between the two... Beckett in her revealing clothes... the trouble they have gotten themselves into. All of it was pretty amazing. One of my personal favorites? Beckett emerging from that pool in that ridiculous gold bathing suit. HOT.
One thing that you can't help but notice, especially after Castle pointed it out, was the ever changing hairstyles that Kate Beckett has rocked. Seriously, she looks completely different from Season One.
Part of the fun of these two being stuck in the apartment was the argument over who liked who first. Even the phone call to Espo was hilarious. Who did like whom first? I'm saying Castle, but Beckett wasn't too far behind.
Now, to the biggest moment of the nigh: In fear that she had minutes left, Beckett blurted out the words we've been waiting to hear. Right to Castle's face, in face: "Rick, I love you." As a Caskett shipper, I can't help but say, IT"S ABOUT TIME.
These two have really grown as a couple in an amazing way that hasn't ruined the show at all. It's rare to have the main characters maintain a successful relationship without losing the spark. Castle returned the exchange and all is well in the last of Casket.
Side Notes:
- I know I wasn't alone in tearing up. Who was with me?
- A couple quick glances of Captain Roy Montgomery!! I miss this man. Although, Gates is growing on me. Speaking of Gates...
- She knows about Castle and Beckett! This can add a whole new layer of fun for the writers. Gates looks to be a Caskett shipper!! Join the club, girl!
- Where was Lanie once again?
- Espo is the man. He was ready to take down the suspect to save his friend. The face alone showed how serious he was. I know that Espo is definitely one person you want having your back.
- You have to love when the writer's vest returns.
So what did you think of "Still?" Did you enjoy the hour filled of clips or was it a letdown after last week? There are only two episodes left.
Will the writers leave us with an emotional cliffhanger or will it be filled with fun? Hit up the comments and let us know what you think. Until next week, Caskett Shippers!
Loved the episode. Loved seeing Montgomery and so glad Gates knows. She's grown on me a lot and I really like her now (not just because of this ep - I was starting to anyway). I was not much of a shipper of Castle and Beckett, but I like them together now and it's real and doesn't seem fake. Let's hope it sticks after last week's doubting scene.
Loved the flashbacks,and the music fit so well with the scene's. Finally Beckett calls Castle by his first name and says "I LOVE YOU" and now she will consider taking another job in Washington? Im feeling like a frustrated fan.
How do we get to where we are after what just happen. Their love is not a issue their issue is her job offer and how that will affect their lives if she takes it. Castle will tell her do what you want but I will always love and care for her through thick and thin. If he was willing to die with her he can do this with her.
Give me a break. It's the old disarm the bomb at the last moment ploy. Are they serious? Can't come up with a new idea to showcase past episodes? Is the budget getting so small that they save money with flashbacks? The best part of that was seeing Kate's shorter hair which is much more flattering. My new hero is Espo - now there is a real man! I'm getting bored with this show-they need to move things along a little faster.
Agree. I believe the DC job offer is put in there to add intrigue to the relationship, but knowing these writers, I could be wrong. The success of the show hinges on the four core characters interacting together in the workplace. IMHO. Recall from Season3, Ep.22 'To Love and Die in L.A.'. On the plane ride back to New York, Kate reads from a letter from her first training officer, Michael Royce, "Trust me, putting the job ahead of your heart is a mistake�. I just don't see how the writers can avoid much longer a Castle propsal to Kate after risking his own life to save her.
When Kate asks " Where are we going" and Castle says " the bedroom" and she gets the look of " Thats not what I wanted to hear" then she should have spoken up and put all the cards on the table. if the shows ran in order it would be " we love each other till death" then "Almost kissed rich guy" and next week " Im going to a new job". Its a great show, and I am 44 yr old guy and my wife and I watch it every Monday. But come on, Kate is still working on her feeling and yet she need to know where they are going after he stands by her ( possible no more father or son ) and she can not ask " Rick, what does the future hold for us ".
IMO makes Beckett look even worse.
Rick would just not leave her with the bomb and yet she still has that almost kiss with the other guy after that.
Leaves me asking should they be together at all?
Are Castle and Beckett up to the task- of course! Will it be simple, well do those two ever truly make anything simple, but will they realize that they really are perfect for each other, I can't believe the writers would have it any other way (leastwise if they don't want an absolute mutiny of their fan base ;) but seeing as how they have repeatedly given us what we have wanted in a mature storytelling way that doesn't rely on the totally overused separate our character break-up ploys only to get them back together- now that would NOT be true to what we know about Castle and Beckett...could we be looking at a temporary long-distance relationship...maybe...but I sure hope not Castle would be a wreck without Beckett around to annoy and Beckett won't have any fun without Castle. How are the writers going to do it, well seriously, isn't that part of the reason why we fans keep tuning in? :)
K- I loved the episode as much as any Castle fan and a part of me wishes that the the timeline had this week's episode and last week's episode switched, but (I know seemingly unfortunately) the order of airing doesn't change the written timeline order for the story line plot. "Still" came before "The Squab and the Quail" which actually makes sense, in the story most notably the knowing and understanding looks between Beckett and Gates over Castle's frustration in Beckett having to "babysit" Vaughn. Not to mention the fact that we know the last two episodes are going to have Castle and Beckett figuring out some things about their relationship. This, of course, also means that we as fans are going to have to put up with a little frustration while our beloved characters are figuring out what we as the outside observers see as something so simple- you two love each other, why does there need to be any problem? But seriously, stuff in relationships have to be discussed and worked out. Are Castle and Beckett up to the task- of course! Will it be simple, well do those two ever truly make anything simple, but will they realize that they really are perfect for each other, I can't believe the writers would have it any other way (leastwise if they don't want an absolute mutiny of their fan base ;) but seeing as how they have repeatedly given us what we have wanted in a mature storytelling way that doesn't rely on the totally overused separate our character break-up ploys only to get them back together- now that would NOT be true to what we know about Castle and Beckett...could we be looking at a temporary long-distance relationship...maybe...but I sure hope not Castle would be a wreck without Beckett around to annoy and Beckett won't have any fun without Castle. How are the writers going to do it, well seriously, isn't that part of the reason why we fans keep tuning in? :)
Best episode ever? Really? It was pretty good, I guess, but first of all, I'm not gonna get all emotional when a star is in mortal danger, when I know they're not going to die. If it were Ryan, Espo, Lanie, etc., I'd worry that they could go through with killing them off and writing them out of the show. Then I'd take the danger seriously. Also, I usually like flashback montages, but 5 sets of them means the writers had nothing else to say---and they'd have been more meaningful if each flash was a second or 2 longer, to capture the mood of each. Best episode ever? I reserve that for the surprise party a few weeks back.

Things Fall Apart

Things do fall apart don't they, an interesting read, and correctly written in such a way the ending only had one way to end. Immersive with its language of african roots, culture, and the destruction of it by the white man, who is ruthless in spreading his religion in lands that really didn't need it. All that is filled with me now is Okonkwo's rage after the conclusion of this book. I recommend you read it for yourself if you can handle keeping up with all the characters various names.
The story grabs you about 2/3 the way through...eye-opening tale that is a good read.
The pacing is slow. Things do not become interesting until the Christian missionaries have invaded and destroyed the Igbo culture.
Achebe narrates events pretty objectively, without many embellishments. Readers are left largely to impose emotion on the text and decide for themselves whether characters are admirable or justified in their behaviors.
Things Fall Apart was my first exposure to African literature. It was interesting to learn a little bit about tribal life before and during the arrival of white people and Christianity in Africa. The prose style is reminiscent of fables and fairy tales. Overall this novel offered an interesting first introduction to pre-colonial African society.
An interesting postcolonial novel about the Scramble for Africa. Told from the perspective of a Nigerian, rather than from the colonists, this is a good novel to read with something like HEART OF DARKNESS or perhaps THE POISONWOOD BIBLE. It may not be the most interesting novel, but it isn't a dreadful one. I'd recommend it to someone who likes world literature.
I don't know what's wrong with me but I lacked sympathy for all parties in this book, save the women and children. I found Okonkwo to be an monstrous person, which in turn effected my thoughts, emotions, and perspectives on all the characters' outcomes. Overall my heart bled for no one and I think it was supposed to... That said, I think this is a wonderful novel to provoke discussions on the moral and ethical complications between personal freedom, societal traditions, when they should change and by who.
This novel shows up often on lists of the "classics of literature". I'm not sure why. Neither the plot nor the characters really grabbed me.
This is the 73rd of a series of titles selected by writer Yann Martel to provide to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to encourage an appreciation of the arts and literature in particular in the PM, and to also help Harper with his stillness and thoughtfulness. Martel has regularly sent books from a wide range of literary traditions to Harper. Martel has devoted a Web site to the reading list and his kind, considered and often poignant covering letters with each volume. (All of his letters can be read at http://www.whatisstephenharperreading.ca/. They are also now in printed form, in a book entitled, not surprisingly, What is Stephen Harper Reading? )
Martel's thoughtful persistence in this quest, started in April 2007, is both heartwrenching and highly commendable. He has never received a direct acknowledgement from Harper, and only some fairly form-letter responses from Harper's staff. He has also received a response from Industry Minister Tony Clement, but it wasn't directly related to any of Martel's book selections.
As Martel perhaps impishly points out, he is not proroguing his efforts to continue to regularly send Harper new books. Although Harper is busy recalibrating, one hopes might take a break to read a good book, and Nigerian author Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is an excellent choice. The story of a well-intentioned but proud community leader in a fictional Nigerian village was originally published in the late 1950s and is considered a milestone in African literature.
An older novel but a very good read. Would recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about Nigeria & it's culture.
QuotesAdd a Quote
"He [Okonkwo] had a slight stammer and whenever he was angry and could not get his words out quickly enough, he would use his fists."
"During the planting season Okonkwo worked daily on his farms from cock-crow until the chickens went to roost."

Prague - The police have found yet another explosive system in the new building of the Palestinian embassy in Prague where the explosion of a safe killed ambassador Jamal Al Jamal on January 1, daily Pravo writes today.
The system was found in a special opening in a book, Pravo writes.
"An explosive was found, it was secured and sent for an expert examination to the criminology institute," Pravo quotes Prague police director Martin Vondracek as saying.
Jamal Al Jamal, 56, was killed when manipulating the safe box probably trying to secure it against forcible penetration, Pravo writes.
Pravo writes that according to its information it is more and more realistic to believe that the explosive was semtex, or a most explosive substance produced in communist Czechoslovakia.
Besides the explosive systems, detectives also found 12 unregistered firearms at the embassy.
In a statement sent to the Prague police, the Palestinians wrote that the weapons were gifts from representatives of the communist Czechoslovakia and that they were old weapons that were kept in a safe for many years, Pravo writes.
"The Palestinians rule out in their statement that the weapons would have been manipulated outside the safe throughout the years," Vondrasek said.
The statement, however, confirms that the weapons did belong to the Palestinians, Pravo writes.
It writes that the Palestinians offered further cooperation to the investigators.

Beef Cattle Industry
Convenience Traits are Important
Convenience traits are those cattle traits that contribute directly to savings in time, facilities, drugs and labor in a cow-calf enterprise. Some examples of these traits would be temperament, polledness, structural and udder soundness, disease and pest resistance, heat tolerance, doing or fleshing ability, mothering ability and calving ease. Many of these traits of convenience are not highly heritable but contribute to the ease of participating in and enjoyment of the beef cattle industry.

WHITEFISH - Police in Whitefish say that Gregory Rodriguez of Texas was shot and killed as he was visiting a Whitefish woman during a business trip to northwest Montana late Thursday night.
The case is still being investigated, but police know that Rodriguez, known as a television personality on an outdoors TV program, was visiting a woman who was staying at her mother's house at River Lakes Parkway in Whitefish.
Police say that at around 10:30 p.m. the woman's husband, Wayne Bengston, came to the house and then shot Rodriguez and brutally beat his wife.
Police say Bengston then drove off with his 2-year old son who had been sleeping in the house and drove away.
He left the boy unharmed with a relative and then drove to his house in West Glacier.
That's where Flathead County deputies and a SWAT team found his truck.

The Madeleine Brand Show for February 8, 2012
The making of "Rampart" - film director Oren Moverman explains
Woody Harrelson in a scene from "Rampart."
Recently, the Los Angeles Police Department has enjoyed a pretty good reputation. Crime rates continue to fall in Los Angeles, and LAPD was largely praised for its handling of Occupy Wall Street protests. While police around the country were ridiculed for excessive force and poorly timed pepper spray, officers in LA negotiated with protestors and avoided marajuana citations. Some officers even went so far as to deliver turkeys to Occupiers on Thanksgiving day.
It's a jarring contrast to the reputation of LAPD back in 1999. Back then, police corruption ran deep.
Oren Moverman's new film "Rampart" takes us back to that era. It stars Woody Harrelson as bad cop Dave Brown. Moverman joins the show to talk more about the film with Madeleine.
