Fantastic Lego creations abounded at BrickCon 2013 in Seattle, WA. Amongst the mini-fig scale recreations of Hogwart's Castle and Rivendell, between the micro scale Battle of Hoth and the homage to Red. vs. blue, an attending history fan could find much to delight.
I'll start by one of the collaborative builds produced by BattleLUG, titled "Battle through the Ages." The sequence of displays follows the evolution of warfare from ancient history to the modern period. Here are a couple segments of the display.
The Pelopsonnesian War
The Crusades
Several different battles from World War II were displayed, all collaboratively created between several AFOL and TFOL builders. Behold Operation Brickarossa :
The Allied advance through Normandy. Note the hedge rows!
In the next post, we'll review some of the other, non-warfare related history entries at BrickCon.

The College of Computing at Georgia Tech is pleased to announce that two of their Ph.D. alums have been selected as Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows. Dr. Samrat Bhattacharjee, assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland and Dr. James O'Brien, assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley are among those selected to receive honors for their "exceptional promise to contribute to the advancement of knowledge."
The Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship is an extraordinarily competitive award, involving nominations for most of the very best scientists from around the country. Sloan Research Fellows, once chosen, are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry are of the most compelling interest to them. The Fellowship carries with it a grant of $40,000, to be used over a two-year period in support of research.
Samrat (Bobby) Bhattacharjee received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of Computing at Georgia Tech in 1999. His thesis was part of the CANES active networking project. At Tech, he also worked on the GT-ITM and SOREN projects. Bhattacharjee is also an assistant professor in the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and an affiliate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland. He is a NSF CAREER Award recipient. His research interests include wide-area networking, network protocol design, operating systems and distributed systems and algorithms. His research group has designed a set of protocols and mechanisms that address different aspects of implementing cooperative applications. The focus is on incentive-based cooperation policies, on mechanisms to scalably check and enforce partnerships and on protocols to ensure privacy and integrity.
James O'Brien earned his doctorate in Computer Science from the Georgia Tech's College of Computing in August of 2000 before going to UC Berkeley. His interests are in most areas of Computer Graphics and Animation, but his research focuses primarily on the physically based simulation of complex deformable and fluid systems. The methods developed by his research group can be used for generating special effects in movies, realistic environment in video games and for training simulations. In addition to serving on the committees for other conference and journals, O'Brien has twice served on the ACM SIGGRAPH Papers Committee. He has published seven journal papers and twenty conference papers, including ten in the ACM SIGGRAPH conference. "I think one of the reasons I've been successful is that I had the opportunity to work closely with outstanding faculty at Georgia Tech, and learn from each one of them," says O'Brien. "The real secret to success is to be excited about your work and enjoy it. Other things like integrity and self-honesty are important too."
The Sloan Research Fellowships were established in 1955 to provide support and recognition to young scientists. Twenty-six Sloan Fellows have won Nobel Prizes later in their careers, and hundreds have received other honors. Currently a total of 116 fellowships are awarded annually in seven fields: chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience and physics. Since the beginning of the program, the Foundation has spent nearly $99 million for support of over 3,800 young researchers.

Is lip augmentation and cheek implant surgery possible?
Hi Grace,
Yes it is possible to have these procedures done while wearing braces. These procedures are unaffected by orthodontic procedures. However, it would be best to have lip augmentation performed during a time where manipulation of your mouth by the orthodontist is at a minimum. Good luck!

Totnes has a unique laid back atmosphere, lovely river side setting and a rich historical past.
Set in the rolling red-earthed hills of South Devon, the market town of Totnes offers a fascinating history and is often referred to as one of Devon's gems. The town is full of colour and character with individual, quirky shops, cafes and restaurants that sell local produce and a twice weekly market on Fridays and Saturdays. At the picturesque quay you can take ferry trips down the River Dart to Dartmouth.
Visitors to Totnes have a choice of two castles; Berry Pomeroy Castle is rumoured to be the most haunted castle in England while Totnes Castle is well worth the climb up to the castle keep, where you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of the town across to the River Dart.
For a day out with a difference, the Sharpham Vineyard and Cheese Dairy is highly recommended, and China Blue is perfect for a rainy day, where you can create and paint your own pottery and shop for unique gifts and home wares.
There's plenty going on from your Totnes cottage; you'll find a wide range of things to see and do nearby, but if history and visitor attractions aren't your thing, grab your walking boots and head off into the Dartmoor countryside or enjoy a taste of the fresh sea air; you'll be sure to find a welcoming watering hole along the way to enjoy a spot of lunch and a pint of the local ale.
Start your discovery of this wonderful area and search for Totnes holiday cottages today.

So I had a status on Facebook. My mom saw it and went CRAZY because I used the word 'b*tch", but in a humorous context.
This is the status:
So I'm listening to these On-Star commercials. Each time I hear the one about the woman who left her 6-month kid in the car, and how On-Star saved them, I don't think "Oh look, On-Star is so useful!", I think "What stupid b*tch leaves a 6 month baby in a car?"
You see, nothing terribly bad. I understand "b*tch" isn't a clean word, but I mean, I'm a junior in high school, and these words are extremely familiar, sometimes even on regular TV-PG shows. But my mom sees it WAY differently. She called me a male chauvinistic pig, said that I'm a very filthy boy, and said I'm going to do things like crime and rape later in my life and end up in jail.
My reaction was "WHAT THE F*CK?"
Also one time, I saw a weight bench on craigslist that I really wanted, for a really good price, and I told my mom about it. She was SO reluctant to go because the area of town wasn't really all that great, but still generally good, and she was saying that I'd be responsible for her death (by crime, even though the house we were going to is near a school), and we were "driving to our deaths" and whatnot. Today the bench is perfectly fine, and nothing happened.
This is also in the teen misc, but I thought it'd also be nice to ask women who are mums themselves

We are an organization charged with the responsibility of inspiring adults and youth to "give back" through helping children. The National Give Back for Kids Campaign, Inc. is a grassroots movement which recognizes that positive and substantial change can and will come about through the power of love and sacrifice. Lives will be changed and communities unified and empowered with the understanding that through "self- determination" many challenges can be conquered!
Many of today's successful adults and teen-agers were the beneficiaries of adult volunteers (i.e. coaches, dance instructors, tutors) that helped them develop into the people they have become. Our purpose is to be a vehicle that creates opportunities for those that have received; a chance to "give back" by serving youth programs around the country.
Through faith, the Campaign will help to replenish communities by aggressively addressing the critical need for support systems and by getting THE COMMUNITY to take collective responsibility for reversing negative conditions through sustainable and attainable objectives.

Tool Barn Serves Mid-Missouri Area's Tool Needs
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
When Buttercup Tool, a small local tool store, decided to close it's doors, Tool Barn owner Vernon Zimmerman, saw the need for keeping a tool store in the area. Zimmerman purchased the company's inventory and moved it to the current location at 19343 Highway C between Eldon and Versailles.
Dana Shirk, who runs the store said since starting the business in 2010, they have expanded into being a full line contractor tool supply store.
Besides stocking a huge selection of competitively priced name brand tools and fasteners, they also offer a tool repair service.

The EW Popularity Index: Which 2012 movies had legs at the box office?
There's no arguing who won the 2012 box-office: The Avengers smashed the competition, making $623.4 million. The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Skyfall, and Breaking Dawn Part 2 also recorded blockbuster grosses, and the executives responsible for these hits can pat themselves on the backs for delivering the goods, which in these cases did not come cheap. The top 10 movies on last year's box-office list cost, on average, more than $175 million each to produce — and that's before a dime was spent on the marketing of a film and all the other fine-print considerations that eat into the profits.
But there's more than one way to judge a film's success, and while every producer might prefer to be in The Avengers' position, other, more modest films can claim victory as well. Back in 2005, EW devised a Popularity Index, which measured a film's staying power in theaters; we've tweaked it only slightly this year to recognize the increasing number of platform releases. To get the index, we simply divided a movie's total domestic gross by its biggest weekend tally — normally its opening frame, but not always.
The result is 10 movies that didn't have record-breaking opening weekends, but they had legs. Many of them started slowly and gained steam as awards season heated up. Others were initially seen as disappointments, but then they just refused to go away, playing week after week to decent crowds. Most all of them had that rumored-to-be-extinct Hollywood creature: The Movie Star. Beancounters might prefer to be on that other box-office list, but the Popularity Index captures elements of quality that studios shouldn't overlook.

Box office report: 'The Hobbit' outdraws 'Django' and 'Les Mis' with $32.9 million
Despite the arrival of two holiday heavyweights, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey retained the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row.
Warner Bros.' $250 million fantasy prequel was held out of the top spot from Tuesday until Thursday by Les Miserables, but over the traditional weekend frame Hobbit dipped only 11 percent to bring in $32.9 million, and its domestic total now stands tall at $222.7 million. After 17 days, The Hobbit is performing well ahead of 2001's The Fellowship of the Ring, which had earned $189.3 million at the same point in its run (though that number climbs to about $260 million after accounting for inflation), but it still trails the 17-day cumes of The Two Towers ($243.6 million), and The Return of the King ($272.8 million). Notably, those films did not have 3D or IMAX surcharges boosting their totals. READ FULL STORY
Box office update: 'The Hobbit' journeys back to No. 1; 'Django' and 'Les Mis' stay strong
Snowstorms in the northeast may be limiting moviegoing attendance this weekend, but inclement weather won't stop Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf from ringing in the New Year in style.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey returned to the top of the box office on Friday, crossing the $200 million mark in the process. The $250 million Warner Bros. release grossed an estimated $10.7 million on Friday, putting it on pace for a $31 million weekend, which would bring its total to about $221 million and lift its worldwide cume past $600 million.

Box Office Report: 'The Hobbit' holds number one spot, 'Jack Reacher' and 'This is 40' disappoint
It was a fairly slow weekend at the box office.
Despite a record-breaking opening, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey experienced a significant 57% drop off in its second week, bringing in an estimated $36.7 million, with an $8,952 per screen average. This brings The Hobbit's ten-day gross to $149.9 million, tracking about 8% behind The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's ten-day gross.
Paramount's Jack Reacher (Cinema Score: A-) opened this past weekend in second place with a modest $15.6 million. Based on the popular Lee Child-created character, the Tom Cruise action flick has been somewhat of a box office wild card and will have to struggle to maintain momentum to make up the costs for the $60 million production. The weekend prior to the Christmas holiday isn't usually the strongest at the box office, but last year Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opened wide on December 21 at $29.6 million. As many have already mentioned, Jack Reacher fans are perhaps put off by the casting, since the character is supposed to be physically imposing at 6'5″.
Judd Apatow's comedy This is 40 (Cinema Score: B-) also opened this weekend at $12 million to take third place. Though not abysmal, it doesn't hold a candle to the $22.7 million, number one opening for Funny People, Apatow's last directorial effort. But of course, Funny People starred Adam Sandler, which likely contributed to the strong opening. A sort of-sequel to Knocked Up (which opened at $30.7 million), This is 40 stars Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, and Albert Brooks, and boasts an impressively large cast including John Lithgow, Jason Segel, Chris O'Dowd, Megan Fox, Michael Ian Black, and Lena Dunham. But the 134-minute run time and Paul Rudd's relatively low box office draw may have contributed to the low first weekend earnings.
Things did not fare as well for other weekend openings, including the Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen road trip comedy The Guilt Trip (Cinema Score: B-) and Monsters, Inc. 3D, both of which failed to break the top five, bringing in $5.4 million and $5 million, respectively.
Box office update: 'The Hobbit' plummets to $10.2M on Friday, but easily leads 'Jack Reacher' and 'This is 40'
Sure, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey set a December record last weekend when it opened with $84.5 million, but after eight days in theaters, it's now clear that the Lord of the Rings prequel is running well behind the final LOTR film, The Return of the King, which earned $377.8 in 2003 — without 3D and IMAX surcharges.
The Hobbit dropped by a huge 73 percent from its first Friday to $10.2 million yesterday, which puts it on pace for a $33 million weekend. That would give The Hobbit a running total of about $147 million by Sunday, its tenth day of release. The Return of the King had earned $190.8 million after 10 days in theaters, and it was only about halfway to its final total, but The Hobbit is falling much faster, and it will need to hold up remarkably well over the holiday to have a shot at $300 million domestically.

Box office preview: 'Jack Reacher' leads new releases, but can't compete with 'The Hobbit'
Whether or not the world ends tomorrow, things are looking pretty dire for the four new wide releases entering theaters this weekend: Jack Reacher, This is 40, The Guilt Trip, and Monsters Inc. 3D. Of course, December movies need not earn gargantuan grosses on their debut weekends to eventually end up with respectable totals. In 2010, Yogi Bear opened with a weak $16.4 million, but thanks to easy accessibility over the holiday season, when kids are out of school and adults off of work, the film eventually topped out at $100.2 million.
Studios will be hoping for similar endurance from this week's crop of newcomers — none of them are tracking particularly well, and all of them will likely be crushed by the second weekend of The Hobbit. Here's how I think the box office might shake out over the Friday-to-Sunday period:
1. The Hobbit – $37 million
The Warner Bros. release has earned $106.5 million in its first six days (for reference, The Return of the King had earned $137.6 million in the same period of time), and it will likely drop by about 55 percent this weekend to $37 million, which would lift its total to about $150 million after ten days.

'Jack Reacher' premiere postponed due to Newtown school shooting
Paramount Pictures announced late Friday that tomorrow's planned world premiere of the Tom Cruise thriller Jack Reacher has been postponed "due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken."
Based on the pulp thrillers by author Lee Child, the PG-13 film opens with a random shooting in a public place as seen through a sniper's rifle. READ FULL STORY
Tom Cruise perfectly comfortable in Jack Reacher's shoes
Breaking news… author Lee Child's literary hero Jack Reacher is still six-feet, five-inches tall. And Tom Cruise is still not.
Ever since Cruise was announced to star in a film adaptation of Child's best-seller, One Shot, some fans of the Reacher novels have dwelled on the fact that Cruise is… well, more point-guard than power-forward. When the Mission: Impossible star introduced the first footage of the Reacher movie at CinemaCon in May, he prefaced the clip by saying, "For those of you who know the books, I'm obviously not 6-foot-5, like Jack Reacher. But Lee felt that I was the right guy to drive fast cars and kick the s–t out of people onscreen."
But until the movie opens on Dec. 21, Cruise is doomed to answer questions about it. At last night's London premiere, he explained that Reacher's size was a "characteristic" rather than a "character," according to Reuters. "You know, [Child] created the character, I had my own opinion that I didn't say to Lee, and then he came back and pretty much reflected what I had felt about it," Cruise said. "But had he said 'look I'd rather not', I would not have played the character."
Watch the Associated Press's video clip of Cruise discussing Reacher on the red carpet. READ FULL STORY
'Jack Reacher' clip: Tom Cruise takes on 5 guys at once
Tom Cruise clearly packs a powerful punch.
In a new clip from Jack Reacher, which opens in theaters Dec. 21, Cruise stares down — and then beats up — multiple baddies by himself. "Remember," Cruise says before taking the ringleader down. "You wanted this."
Based on Lee Child's popular series of novels, Reacher features Cruise as a rogue ex-military cop. The film is adapted and directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
Check out the clip — with clocks an impressive amount of groin kicks — below: READ FULL STORY

|Many of us have hostas that suffered with late April frost and I'm wondering if those plants have outgrown the damage, or if they will look 'sorry' all season. I'm about to cut off damaged leaves from the plants that have leaves to spare, like 'Elegans', 'Liberty', 'Sum and Substance'. But some of my plants only have 10 or so leaves, and I'm suspicious that cutting off 3 just because the edges are ratty isn't a good idea.
Someone here mentioned immediately cutting off the tips of not yet unfurled eyes that had been frost damaged. I wish I had done that - some of the leaves on S&S are quite contorted and irregular looking. I think they might have unfurled more smoothly without their damaged tips.

|i dont cut.. i yank ...
will you be sterilizing your cutters between each plant???
just do a couple on each plant..
give them a week or two.. do a few more ...
you can always take a few more..
you cant staple them back on.. eh???
if right handed.. grab the tip of the leaf with your left had.. pull gently .. with your right hand.. run it down the celery stalk until you are near the crown.. and just yank it out of there ... [unless its just been planted]
why bother cutting??
|Les - glad to see you are back in the garden, even if weeding isn't on your ist of approved activities for a while! The non-gardener in my house also gets a bit close to some of the hostas when he mows the grass. Tunnel vision - can't see them!
Ken - rather like harvesting rhubarb eh? (Does hosta make decent pie I wonder?) I know your crop was seriously frosted - do you have photos of the fighters?

|Les, I was thinking the green was nearly gold on your plantaginea. Mine is really jet green now...at least the only one with its full set of leaves.
My other two plantaginea together in one pot had a bout of foliar nematodes, and after trimming off the damaged leaves, barerooting and giving them a bleach soak and new separate pots, they have a sort of scalped look to them.
I'm trying to save them, but might not succeed. There are advantages to keeping plants separate and even in pots, spread them far enough apart to avoid dripping on each other.

As the island's only resident, Tom Watson works to preserve its past—and protect its future, which is under siege from the sea.
By Beau Denton | Photography by Everett Dennison
Every 15 seconds, the lighthouse on Egmont Key completes a rotation, reminding everyone in the area—commuters crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, residents at home around Tampa Bay, ships out on the Gulf of Mexico—about the 250-acre island at the mouth of the bay. Egmont is as much a delta as an island, formed from centuries-old sediment deposited by the Hillsborough River, and perfectly positioned to welcome visitors to Tampa Bay—or protect the bay from not-so-welcome visitors. "I like to think that this is part of why the Tampa area grew so quickly," says Tom Watson, assistant park manager with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. "This lighthouse told people we were here."
Watson moved to Florida from New York and started working on Egmont—first as a volunteer—about 20 years ago. For more than 15 years, he has lived on the island year-round. "I'm what they call the resident," he says—the only resident on the island, where no overnight camping is allowed and all visitors must leave every day by sunset. Watson spends his time patrolling the island in his ranger uniform, white hair peeking from the edges of his dark green cap, to collect trash, interact with visitors, organize volunteers and keep an eye on the wildlife. Egmont Key had 206,000 visitors in 2012, and Watson is there to watch them all, to make sure no one hurts himself, each other or the island. He organizes teams to collect trash, because just about everything in Tampa Bay's waters eventually washes up on Egmont's shores. Watson says volunteers put in roughly 10,000 hours keeping the island clean in 2012.
Tanned from years in the sun and lean from near constant movement, Watson wanders the roads and paths, sometimes by foot and sometimes in one of the park's golf carts, looking for something out of place or wildlife in trouble. Egmont Key is home to one of the largest populations of gopher tortoises in the country (they're the biggest animals on the island), and sometimes they need Watson's help. "The tortoises like to fight, and then one of them will get flipped over," he says. "They can't get themselves back up, so every time I turn one over I feel like I saved its life."
On weekends, when the weather is right, the water around Egmont is packed with boats. Most of the island's visitors stay near the shore, swimming and fishing in the Gulf, lounging in the sand, scouting for sea shells and snorkeling around the sunken ruins. But those who venture off the beach discover the heart of the island: not just the iconic, fully operational lighthouse, but wooded areas full of century-old ruins that tell the story of Egmont's past.
Although he's reluctant to talk much about himself, Watson will tell anyone who will listen about the island's history. Egmont's past is full of long-gone soldiers, Indians, smugglers, bootleggers, wars and storms.
In a way, it's a microcosm of the history of Florida as a whole, mapped by Spain in the 1700s and still bearing traces of English colonization (it was named for John Perceval, Second Earl of Egmont). Egmont was once a holding ground for Seminole Indians before they were sent out West, and in 1849, it was surveyed by Capt. Robert E. Lee, who praised the island's strategic position and military potential.
Egmont's first lighthouse was built in May 1848, only to be destroyed by a storm that September—the "Great Gale of 1848," still the area's most devastating storm in recorded history. Legend has it that the lighthouse keeper rode out the storm in a boat secured to a palm tree. The next day, he paddled to the mainland and resigned. In 1858, a sturdier lighthouse was built, and, though the oil-based lantern was eventually replaced by a more modern electronic fixture, that lighthouse is still standing today. Watson points out that other buildings in the area, in Ybor City, for example, are as old, but no other still serves its original purpose.
The lighthouse has become Egmont Key's icon, the focal point of its history and the first thing visitors see when approaching the island. Watson smiles as he talks about how, before Union soldiers took over the island and used it as a coastal blockade during the Civil War, retreating Confederate sympathizers removed the lens from the lighthouse and hid it somewhere in Tampa, crippling the structure for the duration of the war.
Military development on Egmont was at its peak at the end of the 1800s and the first part of the 1900s. The stone barracks and gun batteries remind of a time when military strength was determined by who controlled the waterways. On top of the batteries, visitors can still see the metal fixtures where the massive guns once stood; the two largest were called "disappearing guns," because their recoil was so powerful they would roll away from the wall and fall back into their compartments. "The biggest problem with those guns," says Watson, "was that they'd set the palm trees in front of the batteries on fire."
The island was developed as an outpost for 300 soldiers, and the number jumped to 600 during World War II, when ships entering the Port of Tampa were required to unload their arms and munitions. Watson describes this period of Egmont Key's history—from the early 1900s through World War II—with enthusiasm. It was the island's boom time.
Inland, surrounded by palms and tall grass, a network of brick roads creates a grid across the island. The roads pass the sites of old residences, guardhouses, a bakery, even a gymnasium with a bowling alley, dance floor and movie theater. There's an extensive sewer system and an old set of railroad tracks. "These guys were a whole lot smarter than we give them credit for," Watson says. "Civilian labor did all of this with mules and wheelbarrows."
But Egmont Key's boom period has come and gone. The coastal batteries and barracks are crumbling or have already been washed away, their guns long since removed. The inland town is now eerily empty. It's impressive that the brick roads are still intact, but the sites those roads pass are now little more than bare foundations.
Some of the buildings crumbled over time, and many were destroyed by fire. (Once, a whole row of empty houses was intentionally burned to root out rum runners hiding on the island.) A series of signs along the roads, with historical details and photographs from the National Archives in Washington, D.C., describes what used to stand at each spot. With more than a hint of sadness, Watson refers to those markers as "signs of what used to be."
Even with the fire and decay, Watson and his team of part-time park rangers and volunteers have made impressive progress. "We came here in 1989, and the place was such a mess," he says. "People who were here 15 or 20 years ago are amazed by what it looks like now." Watson takes pride in the improvements they have made: a simple cemetery for soldiers, Indians, lighthouse keepers and their families; a makeshift museum at the foot of the lighthouse, full of historical artifacts and an old, 1,050-pound bell; a sidewalk running along a brick road that took weeks to uncover.
Egmont Key's biggest threat, though, is not aggressive fauna or crumbling buildings. It is the constant, pounding erosion from the Gulf of Mexico and the tides sweeping in and out of Tampa Bay. Watson stands on top of a gun battery, now resting precariously close to incoming waves, and looks over the Gulf, saying there used to be two football fields' worth of land between the battery and the water. A little farther south, he points to an old, collapsed power plant. The plant was originally built as a hub at the center of the island, and now it is half-submerged on the western shore.
A survey in the 1850s estimated Egmont's land area to be more than 580 acres; today, it's dropped below 250 acres. The westernmost gun batteries, which once had 100 yards of sand separating them from the water, are now diving sites, submerged some 100 yards off Egmont's coast.
Richard Sanchez, president of the Egmont Key Alliance, says that in 2009, the Army Corps of Engineers developed a plan to install metal sheet piling below the sand, which would stem the erosion. That plan, though, will cost at least $10 million to implement. "We've brought political delegations out here to see the damage," says Sanchez, "but nobody likes the word 'earmark' anymore." In the meantime, the Army Corps has agreed that any sand it dredges up from the channel into Tampa Bay will go toward restoring Egmont; an estimated 1.3 million cubic yards will be installed in 2014.
Adding sand, though, will merely slow the erosion temporarily—which leaves Watson, Sanchez, the other rangers and their band of volunteers feeling a bit like the Dutch boy with his finger in the dike, doing their best to stem the tide.
For as long as he can, though, and as long as there is an island to protect, Watson will be there.
"Tom's a private person," says Sanchez, "but he reveals himself in different ways. He is one of the most dedicated park rangers I have ever seen, and in his stewardship of the island—the birds, the turtles and plant life—he goes far beyond the call of duty."
After nearly two decades on Egmont and familiarizing himself with every inch, it's the little things, like rescuing an overturned tortoise, that keep Watson's days interesting: hanging Christmas lights on the lighthouse to make passing ship crews smile, discovering that a simple chain can work wonders in keeping visitors out of restricted areas, finding a new artifact for the little museum, imagining out loud how difficult it would be for fully uniformed officers to trudge up and down the gun battery steps in summer. He seems to be always attuned to the history—the Seminoles forced from home, the soldiers guarding the bay, the lighthouse keepers lugging oil canisters up the tower's 85 steps—and attuned to his role as guardian of that history.
It's a balancing act. On one side are the island's past and Watson's task of preserving and restoring as much as possible. On the other side is the relentless erosion that threatens to erase Egmont—a fate Watson intends to postpone as long as he can.

Reasons for not blogging lately:
1) I got bored writing all the ranting and raving stuff about politicians in general and Republicans in particular. I was all worked up, and for what? So I could tell people that Republicans are shitheads and that I was mad about it? That politicians are pretty much all liars? That the US has an oligarchy disguised as a pretend democracy? It's all…

He was fine.
This is our last dance together,
Tonight soon will be long ago.
And in our moment of parting,
This is all I want you to know…
There will be many other nights like this,

January's grim enough without banishing the booze - just find wines that don't have such an alcoholic kick
Marks & Spencer Sevilen Okuzgozu 2012: Sizzle a steak and pop this beauty
Dry January. Words I simply don't understand.
Don't get me wrong: I'm all in favour of staying healthy and watching what we eat and drink.
But the filthiest month of the year,
when the weather's about as pleasant as the North Sea in a force ten
gale, isn't the time to mess around with one of life's simplest
pleasures – a glass of wine with your dinner.
Deprivation may be good for the soul, but how about delivering virtue in more manageable parcels?
My suggestion is to drink less but enjoy better-quality bottles.
Or sip wines that are lower in
alcohol. Which brings me to the phrase that has me scratching my head:
'alcohol-free wine'. Isn't that a bit like a car without wheels?
More from Olly Smith Event for The Mail on Sunday...
- OLLY SMITH: My worlds have collided impeccably this Christmas with the horn of wine 11/12/14
- OLLY SMITH: Don't cry for me... because I've tracked down some stunning bargains (and one costly but classy cracker) from Argentina 04/12/14
- OLLY SMITH: Your party starts here! From fine champagne to pale ale - we've got the top tipples at our table 27/11/14
- OLLY SMITH: A real Tropic Thunder: 'Tis the season to break out the hip flask and warm the cockles with a shot of fiery Caribbean rum 20/11/14
- OLLY SMITH: Spicy reds, zinging whites, characterful blends and bargain prices. How have the Portuguese kept these stunners secret? 13/11/14
- OLLY SMITH: How versatile Carmenère went from from Bordeaux bit player to a starring role in Chile 06/11/14
- OLLY SMITH: Nights drawing in, weather turning frosty... so uncork some central heating for the soul 30/10/14
- OLLY SMITH: No tricks, no treats: From pink Cava to green fizz, bubbles that will take the toil and trouble out of the spookiest night of the year 22/10/14
- OLLY SMITH: Roll out the Barolo: It's the ultimate autumn wine, perfect for truffles and mushrooms (and I've found you a Lidl treat) 16/10/14
I've yet to taste a so-called 'alcohol-free wine' I can recommend.
There are, however, wines that are lower in alcohol and won't erode your faith in humanity.
Dr John Forrest in New Zealand has created a Sauvignon Blanc that comes in at 9.5 per cent – well below the typical 13.5 per cent.
Bone-dry whites from Muscadet in France are another good bet; and Domaine Chéreau 2012 (12 per cent), £9.95 from yapp.co.uk, is outstanding.
Meanwhile, Portuguese Vinho Verdes come in at around 11 per cent, and are incredibly zesty with dazzling citrus verve.
And if you feel like splashing out, white Burgundy is richer and more fulsome; try Meursault Clos du Cromin Olivier Leflaive 2011 (13 per cent), £28.95, corneyandbarrow.com.
When it comes to reds, it's tougher to find a decent outand- out lower-alcohol bottle.
Bordeaux, however, offers plenty of options at a respectable 12.5 per cent, as opposed to the 14 per cent typical of reds from warmer climes.
That may not sound like much of a difference, but every percentage point adds up.
For good value, Marks & Spencer has Château Gillet Bordeaux 2012 (12.5 per cent) at £6.99, or you could look further afield – see below for a red gem from Turkey that's 13 per cent and a belter to sip alongside a steak.
Alternatively, fizz offers a world of wine with respectable levels of alcohol; Italian Prosecco is a brilliant bet, tending to come in at around 11 per cent.
I'm charging my glass of bubbly and raising it to you and to a thoroughly 'wet' January.

Project Kickoff
Let's take some time to and get to know each other.
Its actually really simple. Once we agree on a price, a timeline, and a project scope—and you've paid your initial invoice, we get to work. I know it sounds like a lot of work just to "get to work," but all that upfront stuff usually happens during a phone call or a few emails.
Now that we have an official project, we can get started. At this point we should both have a good idea of the project's scope and timeline. If not, we'll make sure everything is cleared up before moving on.
We'll start off by sending you the UI Project Kickoff Questionnaire. This short document asks a few general questions, and is sometimes customized based on the dependancies and complexities of your project. While it may seem trivial—possibly even silly—you really should spend some time thinking about each question, answering as honestly as possible. No need to write a novel, but provide any details you think may be important. If needed, we will meet to discuss your answers.

RELEASED: June 16, 2006
EAU CLAIRE — Ten students who will enter the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire this fall were recently awarded Blugold Promise Scholarships through the UW-Eau Claire Foundation.
The Blugold Promise Scholarship Program is an ambitious program designed to provide support during the freshman and sophomore years for UW-Eau Claire students with great potential and hopes but limited financial means. The program provides $500 scholarships to incoming freshmen with demonstrated academic potential, and if the students remain focused and successful throughout their first year, they become eligible for a $1,000 award during their sophomore year. Typically, there are not as many scholarships available to sophomore students, so this program helps outstanding students bridge that gap until they become eligible for scholarships in their chosen majors, typically in the junior and senior years.
Donors can support one Blugold Promise recipient through each gift of $1,500 over a two-year period or ensure ongoing scholarship support in their name by endowing the fund with a larger gift of at least $20,000.
The following students will receive Blugold Promise Scholarships for the 2006-07 academic year:
Chelsey Drohman, Tony, daughter of Gary and Debra Drohman, was awarded a Bill Donais Blugold Promise Scholarship. Donais is a 1972 accounting graduate who now lives in River Falls and works for Bauman Associates, LTD.
Emily Schneider, Janesville, daughter of Robert and Dawn Schneider, was awarded a Brenda Zamzow Blugold Promise Scholarship. Zamzow, a 1984 accounting graduate, recently opened her own accounting and finance firm, The Zamzow Group, in Beverly Hills, California, after years of working in the television and movie industry. She was formerly vice president and general manager of FoxStar Productions for Fox Television.
Kaleb Durocher, Wisconsin Rapids, son of Jeff Durocher and Amy Noonan, was awarded a Theresa Eleanor Williams and Helen Maria Rhoades Blugold Promise Scholarship. This scholarship was established by Katherine and Bruce Rhoades to honor the memories of their mothers, both of whom valued education and made sacrifices so their children could attend college. Katherine Rhoades is dean of the College of Education and Human Sciences at UW-Eau Claire and Bruce Rhoades is a physician.
Ashley Provo, Siren, daughter of Joseph Zirngibl and Valerie Rust, was awarded a Jim and Jeanne Quigg Blugold Promise Scholarship. Jim Quigg is a 1968 business administration graduate who now lives in Costa Mesa, Calif., where he is managing director of The Tax Reduction Group.
Katherine Hahn, Eau Claire, daughter of Fred and Deb Hahn, was awarded a John and Nancy Skoug Blugold Promise Scholarship. The Skougs are Eau Claire natives and 1975 graduates of UW-Eau Claire. John, an accounting graduate, is the president and CEO of Marathon Cheese, one of the world's largest independent cheese packagers. The Skougs have designated their gift to go to a graduate of Memorial High School.
Leah Pitt, Chippewa Falls, and Brandon Welke, Eau Claire, were awarded John Kell Memorial Blugold Promise Scholarships. Pitt is the daughter of Phil and Sharon Pitt, and Welke is the son of Jeff and Carol Welke. The Kell Memorial fund was established by Betsy Kell after the 2005 death of her husband, alumnus John Kell, '74, in a motorcycle accident. Kell was president of Kell Container in Chippewa Falls and received a President's Award from UW-Eau Claire in 2004. The President's award recognizes outstanding professional and personal achievements and service to UW-Eau Claire. Kell and her daughters, Sadie and Angela, recently designated the fund to endow the John Kell Memorial Blugold Promise Scholarship.
Matthew DeVinney, Mound, Minn., and Tracey Roehrborn, Oconomowoc, were awarded Keith and Charlotte Donnermeyer Blugold Promise Scholarships. DeVinney is the son of Ron and Judy DeVinney, and Roehrborn is the daughter of Chris and Joanne Roehrborn. The Donnermeyers are 1975 graduates of UW-Eau Claire who now reside in Sacramento and San Francisco, Calif. Keith, an accounting graduate, is a partner with Deloitte and Touche, an international provider of financial services, and Charlotte, a biology graduate, works in family services in Sacramento.
Matthew Bushman, Greenwood, son of Steve and Connie Bushman, was awarded a Ken and Mary Smith Blugold Promise Scholarship. The Smiths both graduated from UW-Eau Claire in the early '70s. Ken majored in accounting and Mary in English. Ken is now a financial consultant for Shell Oil Company and the couple lives in Houston.
Ashley Przybylski, Pulaski, was awarded a Melissa and Emily Schmeisser Blugold Promise Scholarship. This scholarship was established by 1977 graduates Steven and Mickey Schmeisser in memory of their daughters Melissa and Emily, who lost their lives in an automobile accident in May 2005. Melissa had planned to attend UW-Eau Claire for pre-med studies.
For more information about Blugold Promise Scholarships, visit the Foundation Web site.
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report and other national publications as one of the nation's best educational values and among the top public regional universities in the Midwest.

|The 'brains' and 'action' heavies who had meaty roles and lots of dialog ... and the players who were fathers, ranch owners, lawman, mayors, judges, lawyers, storekeepers, newspaper editors, wardens, etc.
(Courtesy of Jack Tillmany)
|Budd Buster
Full name:
Budd Leland Buster
1891 - 1967
Born in Colorado, Budd Buster may have worked briefly in some early films on the east coast, long before Hollywood was created. But his primary occupation was vaudeville and road show performer (and based on the census and draft registration, he was also a "liveryman" and "driver").
He re-entered the film business circa 1933. Les Adams has Budd identified in about 300 sound films - of those, 254 are westerns and 18 are serials. He played all kinds of parts - henchie, old codger, townsman, father of the heroine, military officer, lawman, ranch owner, bank clerk, newspaper editor, wagon train scout ... you name it. He could also handle a team of horses, and you'd occasionally see him driving a buckboard, wagon or stage. While Budd seemed to be a 1940s fixture in sagebrush adventures at Monogram and PRC, he did about 65 films for Republic Pictures during the years 1936-1954 - and these were mostly cliffhangers and westerns.
Several folks have commented that one of Budd Buster's greatest talents was his ability to apply makeup ... and appear in just about any kind of role. And if the job required an older man or a younger man, Budd opened up his makeup kit and added a moustache or dark hair or grey hair, etc. That expertise with makeup allowed Budd to do multiple roles in a few films, and some examples follow:
• In Bob Steele's CAVALRY (A. W. Hackel/Republic, 1936), Budd Buster played the wagon train boss as well as Abraham Lincoln.
• In Montie Montana's CIRCLE OF DEATH (Kent, 1935), Budd plays the wagon train scout as well as a storekeeper.
• In the Hoot Gibson CAVALCADE OF THE WEST (Diversion, 1936), Buster is a stage guard and an Indian.
• He was a townsman and a member of the rustler gang in the Johnny Mack Brown BETWEEN MEN (Supreme, 1935).
He also was the helper to the hero a few times. Some examples: he sidekicked in DRUMS OF DESTINY (Crescent, 1937) with Tom Keene, FEUD OF THE RANGE (Metropolitan, 1939) with Bob Steele, and COVERED WAGON TRAILS (Monogram, 1940) with Jack Randall.
Several of my favorite Budd Buster roles: he was the old, grizzled and dirty "desert rat" in the Tim McCoy FIGHTING RENEGADE (Victory, 1939); he was the crazed miner in WILD HORSE PHANTOM (PRC, 1944) which is the Buster Crabbe and Fuzzy St. John comedy western with the mine and the flying bat zoomin' around.
You may want to go to the In Search Of ... page on the Old Corral and then to the California Death Records database. There you will find a record for: Budd L. Buster, born 6/14/1891 in Colorado, Mother's maiden name of Moore, passed away on 12/22/1965. There is a corresponding record in the Social Security Death Index (SSDI).
The Family Search website has more info on Budd Buster and family:
Some Budd Buster tidbits:
• There is an error in some Budd Buster biographies and filmographies, including the IMDb - Budd Buster is not actor George Selk. George W. Selk was born May 15, 1893 in Nebraska and passed away on January 22, 1967. Selk's most remembered role was as stableman "Moss Grimmick" on TV's GUNSMOKE.
• There's a John L. Buster who appears in a few mid 1940s Buster Crabbe PRC westerns and he has a large role in the Buster Crabbe PRAIRIE BADMEN (PRC, 1946). He is probably Budd Buster's son. The California Death Records database has a record on: John Buster, born 7/29/1918 in Colorado and he passed away 6/4/1974 in the Los Angeles area.
• If ol' Budd got listed on the ad/artwork or in the film's cast listing, his first name was often misspelled as "Bud" (with one D).
Although some of the data is incomplete or inaccurate, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has information on Budd Buster (as of June, 2006, Budd's film work has been erroneously combined with actor George Selk): http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0124560/
and the IMDb record for Budd's son John L. Buster: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0124564/
(From Old Corral image collection)
Above are Budd Buster (left) and Stanley Blystone (right) in a scene from the Hoot Gibson THE RIDING AVENGER (Diversion, 1936). Budd was about 45 years old and Blystone was around 42 when they did this oater.

Rex Lease came in at about the mid-point of this film as the sub for Sharpe. Above from L-to-R are: Bud Osborne, Carl Mathews, Glenn Strange, Budd Buster, Max Terhune and Rex Lease.

Beards deemed OK for police in Pittsfield
A revised police manual will now allow Pittsfield officers to grow beards.
The Police Department's Manual of Rules and Regulations requires that the beards be neatly trimmed. And the rule requires police to begin growing beards at the beginning of at least two consecutive days off to avoid stubble and a tough-guy look.
The Berkshire Eagle reports that Chief Michael J. Wynn said that in a 2011 review of the manual the issue did not come up. But officers immediately asked if they could grow beards.
The department employs 70 uniformed officers and detectives.
Wynn says police departments in several Massachusetts communities have approved beards in the past few years.

Oroville, California
Alleged Felon Evades Police
Meyer attempted to stop the vehicle, and Blinston allegedly sped away from him and drove to an apartment complex at 54 Grand Avenue. Sergeant Jack Storne reported that Blinston exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.
Multiple agencies responded to the location and initiated a thorough search of the apartments and a wide perimeter around the area. One woman who lives in the complex stated, "I was safe in my apartment." She added that the police asked her if they could search her apartment and she allowed them to do so. Once the search was completed, they asked her to evacuate the building.
Officers were unable to locate Blinston. He is one of Butte County's Most Wanted and is being sought for a felony warrant, charging him with violation of post release community supervision. He is 5'8" tall and weighs 185 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes. He is 29 years old.
It was discovered that the Lexus was stolen, and the owner apparently had to be called out of a Chico State class to come and claim the vehicle. Two firearms that had been stolen in Chico were found inside of the car. Another firearm taken in another Butte County burglary was also found in the car.
There were no injuries as a result of this incident. If you have any information regarding this crime or on the whereabouts of Blinston, please call the Butte County Sheriff's Office at (530)538-7321 or (530) 538-7449.

Of course this footfetish site will change week by week. Always if I see a new footqueen, I will post her pics here on my small foot fetish site...
Many kisses and a lot of fun
The most beautiful female feet
THE MODELs
Do you know what my best hobby is? I LOVE to buy shoes! It always makes me feel sexy, if I try on and buy a nice pair of shoes. If you like it as well, I recommend to check out this footsex and shoe fetish site.

Description of Nittaku Moristo 2000
Both of the topsheet and the sponge of MORISTO, which are produced with the latest special technique, keep the tension inside as if speed glue were applied. Therefore, the top-sheet and the sponge have the superior elasticity to normal rubbers. A ball is able to come into the rubber deeply when attacking, the next moment it springs powerfully. In addition, the hard sponge of MORISTO 2000 enables you to make more-powerful shots.
Reviews of the Nittaku Moristo 2000
agooding2 said this on April 18, 2008:
Fast tensor rubber with a harder sponge than many. Great for loopkilling over the table and the harder than average sponge adds power and retains touch over the table. Still bouncier than harder sponge Japanese or Chinese rubbers. Great loop kill, good block and serve, takes some extra adjustment to push effectively.
