City Plan, 1914
Calgary: a preliminary scheme for controlling the economic growth of the City by Thomas Mawson
On Friday, in the John Dutton Theatre at the Central Library, The Calgary Foundation and the Calgary Public Library, with support from the City of Calgary's Office of Sustainability are hosting a discussion based on issues raised by the 2009 Vital Signs Report. You are invited to come and add your voice to help shape our rapidly changing city. We are interested in building a sustainable city and need your input. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to The Calgary Foundation either through their website http://www.thecalgaryfoundation.org/ or by telephone at 403-802-7719.
This discussion will embrace many topics and certainly one that we must consider, and one that is dear to my heart (this is a heritage focused blog, right) is the importance of sustaining the built heritage of our city. The Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Central Library is integral to that goal. The mandate of this collection is to preserve and make accessible items relating to the history of Calgary. We have a wide range of resources for people interested in finding out more about their homes, their communities and the way our city has developed.
The collection, itself, is something of an historical artifact. It is as old as the Calgary Public Library. Our first Head Librarian was Alexander Calhoun, a man whose innovative ideas, including tailoring the library collection to the needs of the community, made the Calgary Public Library a dynamic and responsive organization from the day it opened its doors on January 2, 1912. Calhoun was very involved in his community and was very interested in making Calgary a great place to live. The city was facing then, as it is now, unprecedented expansion that saw the city grow from 12,000 people in 1906 to 44,000 in 1912.
Calhoun was a member of the first city planning commission in 1911. It is possible that he heard the presentation by Thomas Mawson, "The city on the plain and how to make it beautiful" which he delivered to the Canadian Club of Canada. The city planners engaged Mawson to make a plan which would see Calgary into its future. They believed the city would reach a population of 1 million by the year 1914. (We never see those "busts" coming, do we?) Mawson's Plan, called Calgary: a preliminary scheme for controlling the economic growth of the city, is available, along with transcripts of the two speeches he gave in Calgary, in the Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Central Library. If you have never seen it, you must come down and have a look. Our downtown would have looked very different had the planning commission been able to affect any of the changes he suggested. Mawson was very concerned with the way people lived in cities. He was influenced by the City Beautiful movement and the Garden City movement and his plan reflects those influences. It was a very beautiful vision of the future of Calgary. Here is a picture of what he envisoned for the market area of the city.
Mawson's report is only one of the resources relating to city planning that we have in our collection. We are on the 4th floor of the Central Library (616 Macleod Trail SE). Drop in for a visit.

Calgary Brewing and Malting Company Gardens, 1960
Alison Jackson Photography Collection, AJ 51-08
The days are getting longer. Thanks to a wonderful Chinook things are warming up. Now is the time to think about gardens. OK, so maybe it is a bit early to think about actually gardening in Calgary but I stumbled across this picture of Snow White in the Brewery Gardens and I thought now would be a great time to talk about those particular gardens and what they've meant to Calgarians over the years.
The gardens were originally developed in 1932 and were a project of James Cross, the son of A.E.Cross who had taken over management of the Brewery from his father. Originally the plan for the garden was a bit of a make-work effort. In keeping with the Cross family tradition of looking out for their employees and giving back to their community, the gardens were an idea designed to reduce the need for layoffs and to give employees something to do during the Depression. It was a simple design, stands of trees and shrubs and a few flower gardens.
This would all change with the introduction of the fish ponds. James Cross was interested in water. Calgary Brewing and Malting's slogan for a time was "The water makes the difference, naturally." Indeed, the brewery was founded where it was because of the presence of an artesian well on the property. Water was important to good beer, and James realized that fish, too, needed clear, clean water to thrive. The symbolism was not lost on James Cross. From 1938 to 1972 a fish hatchery would be operated on the Brewery site. Water, warmed in the brewing process, would be used to sustain the hatchlings and the fish raised at the hatchery were used to populate the ponds and streams in the garden. The hatchery was just the first step in a process that would make the Calgary Brewing and Malting site a community centerpiece. By 1960 the Cross family had opened a large aquarium on the site – the largest inland aquarium in Canada. The second floor was designed to house James' collection of western memorabilia. This would become the Horseman's Hall of Fame in 1963.
The gardens themselves would house artifacts. A cabin, believed to be the oldest building in Calgary, was rescued and moved to the gardens in 1933 (see the picture below). Streetcar 14, after completing its final run, was moved for preservation to the site. Its frame was used to build the replica streetcar that runs at Heritage Park.
Cabin in Brewery Gardens 1957

The gardens were open to the public and were a very popular spot. In the winter, decorations were put out to make the gardens a year-round attraction. The first photograph shows a Disney-themed display from 1960 as viewed by Alison Jackson, whose collection of photographs can be viewed in our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library.
According to a 1997 Historical Resource Impact Assessment of the site by Ken Hutchinson Architect Ltd. (which is available in the Local History room on the 4th floor of the Central Library) the structure of the gardens were found to be intact "with the important exceptions that the pools no longer contain water and fish and that the gardens no longer have the floral displays". The 1875 cabin was still on the site, as was a replica of the original buffalo mascot. The talk surrounding the Calgary Brewing and Malting site has included the possibility of bringing the gardens back to their original state. That would be an interesting development and one many residents of the area (and others) would like to see.

Postcards from the Past, 841
Facing another decade in the new millennium, I was pondering, as I often do, the doings of our forebears as they entered a new year and, really, a new era at the beginning of the year that would see the formation of our country. New Year's Day in 1867 was a Tuesday. The papers were published (at least the Globe and Mail was published) so I was able to read about the goings on in Toronto, Canada West, for that day. What were those hard working, decent people, those solid citizens, up to as they prepared to meet the new year? Well….from the front page of the Globe:
Monday Dec. 31
"…As usual on a Monday morning a considerable number of drunk and disorderly persons came before his Worship.
Michael Blake, 47, drunk, not known to police, was fined $2 and costs, in default 20 days in gaol. …It appeared that he had been found drunk on Church Street, with a considerable amount of money in his pocket, and his Worship thought that it was worth something to him, under the circumstances, to be taken care of by the constables, and so he was made to disgorge.
Margaret Kennedy, 31, vagrant, known to the police, was sent to gaol for 20 days. She …has been going round, book-in-hand, begging, ostensibly for an apocryphal widow named Sophia Shaw. Among others, she bled his Worship to the amount of a couple of dollars. She entered volubly into a history of herself, Sophia Shaw, and their affairs, which narrative was stopped with some difficulty, by the time she had succeeded in mystifying the Court and all present."
Not everyone was whoopin' it up. The various churches held celebrations in fitting with their "dispositions". Members of the Methodist congregation prayed out the old year and in the new. St. John's Church held a midnight service, the bells at St. James were rung from 11:30 PM and military and other bands played.
I can read these articles because the library has a subscription to "Globe and Mail: Canada's Heritage from 1844" in the E-Library. This is a searchable database and is just one of three historic newspaper subscriptions that we have. We also have "Toronto Star: Pages from the Past" which dates from 1894 and the "Times of London Digital Archive 1785-1985". These can be of great interest to genealogists researching in the area because they are searchable. I ran a search on one of my family names through the Globe and Mail and found an article about a boy from Norwood who had been kicked in the mouth by a horse. Not necessarily a nice article, but one that contained information about a possible ancestor (yes, weird information but that's what makes genealogy so interesting.)
You can also use these databases to find details about the life and times of people in the past. Because we don't have a good index for the Calgary Herald, we often use the Toronto papers when we are looking for dates of significant events, especially in the area of military history. When we find the date of a particular battle, or of the death of a soldier, we can go to the right date of the Herald and look for local coverage.
Newspapers can be gold mines of information for genealogists and historians. Check out our historic newspapers in the E-Library section of the Calgary Public Library homepage. The link is in the black bar at the top of the page. Once you've entered the E-Library, choose History and Genealogy from the menu and then, from the menu that comes up, select your newspaper. You will need to enter your Calgary Public Library barcode from the back of your card and your PIN.

Accredited Business Consolidators Corp.has tentatively agreed to purchase 135 acres of land on the Bay of Bluefields, Nicaragua, which provides direct access to the El Bluff and Bluefields Port and the Caribbean Ocean, as part of the company's plan to invest in the infrastructure of the nation.
Many imports arrive at El Bluff and are taken on smaller boats to the El Rama Port, passing near the Accredited property on their way, for transportation by ground to Managua.
Nicaragua is a politically stable environment with growth in its development sector, the holding company said.
Financial terms of the acquisition will be released once certain affiliates enter non-compete clauses, Accredited said.

I've been craving winter squashes lately. My mom gave me a huge bag of dried cranberries, and I thought they would go perfect in a creamy squash soup. I didn't have any carrots, but next time I make this, I plan to add either shredded carrots as a garnish, or diced carrots to the soup with the apples. Orange juice would made a wonderful substitute for the apple juice.

Fortune's rooms have a relaxed, tawny palette. His brass-trimmed walnut furniture is a more substantial version of populist designer Paul McCobb's 1950's collections for Calvin; his upholstered pieces make use of decorator silks and velvets; there are curtains that can be drawn to conceal wall-mounted plasma TV's.
Klein learned his trade under Bernard Goldberg, a pioneer of the boutique hotel industry, whose New York properties included the Shoreham and Roger Williams. When Klein was a child he was "freakishly obsessed" with hotels, and after graduating from college he wangled an interview with Goldberg. "I told him I would run his business for him, and he showed me the door," Klein recalls. "I was so upset I went right over to one of his hotels and became the only bellhop in New York who wasn't an actor." He worked his way up, becoming a front-desk clerk and then manager of housekeeping ("probably the most important job in any hotel"), and finally fulfilled his bold promise to Goldberg by working with him in the creation of a little empire.
Klein has discovered that the Sunset Tower will require all of his prior hotel expertise and more. Its location and views are enviable, but unlike many nearby hotels, it has no appreciable grounds. The terraced pool area, which overlooks a steep downhill slope, is being reconfigured this winter. Piero Morovich, the chef at hot spot Ammo, has been brought in to create a menu for the restaurant. At night, the lobby lounge softly swings to Page Cavenaugh's live piano music or Sinatra recordings from the forties and fifties.
When all is said and done, Klein is attempting to deliver a level of service and ambience that is distinctive yet dignified. His reference points come from a bygone era of travel exemplified by white-glove service, stickers on steamer trunks, and early-20th-century men's clubs with accommodations available to privileged guests. In a city defined by presumptuousness, Klein hopes the Sunset Tower will succeed as a retreat from red carpets and velvet ropes—neither a Hilton, nor a place where you might encounter one.

» This Science Experiment looks at whether Fish can be Raised in a Bottle
This Science Experiment looks at whether Fish can be Raised in a Bottle
Sat, 2010-05-29 18:44 — Finalboy
Title - FISH IN A BOTTLE By - Judy Schneider Primary Subject - Science Secondary Subjects - Science Grade Level - 6 - 8 (adaptable) SCIENCE PROJECT OF THE WEEK FISH IN A BOTTLE PROBLEM: Can I raise small fish in a closed system in a gallon bottle? RESEARCH: Go to a store that sells fish and find out what fish need to live. Be sure to get the Bibliography information from the person you interview. This aquarium can be self-sustaining. But you will have to find out what to do to start it right. HYPOTHESIS: What do you think you will have to do to make your aquarium self-sustaining? MATERIALS: A one-gallon jar (glass or plastic, any shape) - a restaurant is a good source for a jar from pickles, olives, or cherries Gravel - about 1 ½ pounds 1 adult guppy 1 very small snail - you may get one with the plants, but make sure you have only one in the jar Fish food Aquatic plants - sagittaria, eelgrass, anacharis PROCEDURE: 1. Wash the jar well 2. Fill three-quarters full with room-temperature tap water. Let stand for at least two days, uncovered. 3. To clean the graves, place in a strainer and rinse with water. Do not use soap. 4. Transfer the gravel to the bottom of the jar. You should have a 2-inch layer. 5. Put the aquarium in a spot where it will get sunlight, but not direct sunlight, it is too hot. 6. Add plants and fish to the aquarium. Even if the plants do not have roots, push the stems into the gravel. 7. Observe your aquarium for 28 days. Make careful observations each day. Many days you may only observe that there was no change. 8. Enrichment: Get a male and a female guppy for your aquarium instead of only one guppy. Feeder guppies are very inexpensive and will work well for this experiment. 9. Enrichment: Be sure the jar you get has a lid. After about one week seal the jar with the lid and do not open it for the remaining 21 days of your experiment. DATA: Make a data table to record your observations for the 28 days. CONCLUSION: This is not optional. You must explain what you learned by doing this activity. Remember that you must answer the question you asked in your original problem statement. NOTE: BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN SIGNS YOUR WORK. PARENTS: YOUR SIGNATURE SHOWS YOUR STUDENT HAS DONE THE WORK. E-Mail Judy Schneider! firstname.lastname@example.com

I get why guys yell to psych themselves up for a big lift....or if they miss one and they're pissed. It's not my thing but I understand it.
That said, we've got a guy at our gym that yells constantly. It's a crossfit gym with a powerlifting section kinda in the corner. We're all in the corner doing deadlifts that day and this guy just goes off. Evidently he had to over exert himself to push for a record number of reps jumping rope. Yes, ladies and gents, yelling like he just pulled 700 after completing the jump rope. Gym idiot

LOS ANGELES, December 29, 2013 — Masahiro Tanaka is a name in every baseball fan's head right now. People are anxious to know which team will sign him and for how much. This winter has been a rollercoaster of waiting, hoping and theorizing.
Teams interested in Tanaka first prepared to empty the vault to pay a posting fee for Tanaka. Then MLB announced new rules for the posting system where the most teams would have to spend on a posting fee is $20 million. This caused Tanaka's team to rethink posting the 25-year-old hurler. Then last week teams got word that Tanaka would be posted after all and the flood gates of teams interested were opened.
SEE RELATED: Robinson Cano spurs Yankees' offer for huge deal with Seattle Mariners
The lower posting fee, however, will not equate to overall savings for MLB teams looking to sign Tanaka. It just means that more of that money spent will be going to the player instead of the team that posts him. Yu Darvish and Daisuke Matsuzaka each received similar deals. Boston paid a posting fee of $51,111,111.11 and signed Dice-K for $52 million over six years. Texas paid a posting fee of $51,703,411 and signed Darvish to a six-year deal worth $56 million.
The team that signs Tanaka will probably be paying somewhere in the range of $17 million to $23 million per year, as well as the $20 million posting fee. Don't be surprised if you see Tanaka get a six-year deal in the $110 million to $120 million range.
The usual suspects have been rumored to be interested; New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Anaheim Angels, Chicago Cubs, and Texas Rangers. One team that has not been rumored to be interested, however, are the Boston Red Sox, who may still be feeling the sting of their Daisuke Matsuzaka signing.
Tanaka is 25 years old and went 24-0 with a 0.943 WHIP last year for the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan. Over his seven-year career, Tanaka has a 1.108 WHIP and 1238 strikeouts in 1315 innings pitched with a 99-35 record. He has averaged 8.5 K/9 during his career in Japan.
SEE RELATED: Major League Baseball 2013 winter meetings recap
The 1,315 innings seem to be somewhat of a concern for teams who are worried about the mileage on Tanaka's arm, elbow and shoulder. Tanaka made it through his early 20s without injury. For comparison, Clayton Kershaw is also 25. Including two years in the minors, Kershaw has thrown 1,363.1 innings over the last seven years. Yet, no one is bringing up his innings as he and the Dodgers explore a contract extension.
As of right now, where Tanaka lands is wide open. Many teams can afford him, while many more teams need him. MLB teams have until 5 p.m. EST on Jan 24. To sign Tanaka. The clock is ticking.

What the Heck is a Pocket Listing?By
Raleigh. "I hired this clown to sell my house and he did nothing. He didn't even list the house in the MLS." Don't let this happen to you.
Charles and Aileen hired a real estate agent to sell their home. They had a nice home in a popular neighborhood. They lived apart. They agreed to sell the house to simplify the divorce process.
Charles liked to stop at The Hole (short for The Watering Hole) after work and network. He was an outgoing guy who shared his thoughts and feelings freely. Information on his pending divorce and the sale of his house was shared with anyone who would listen.
One day a real estate agent who sometimes joined the round table group said that Charles' house was not in the MLS. Charles erupted. No wonder the house wasn't selling. He dictated angry voicemails to the agent and his wife. "Incompetent" was the nicest thing he said to the agent and he accused his wife of deliberately choosing this clown so she could keep the house.
Once his evening at The Hole wore off, Charles was less abusive. Still angry, but more restrained. The agent called a meeting and explained pocket listings:
= The listing agreement gave the agent the exclusive right to sell their house.
= No MLS listing is part of the agreement.
= Agent not required to work with other agents. Only he could show the house. Exceptions were at discretion of the agent.
"Why didn't you tell us this before you shyster? I would never have signed the agreement if I had known." Charles growled.
Such outbursts weren't new to Aileen. No longer intimidated she spoke up. She told Charles that pocket listings were explained by the agent and they chose this route for two reasons:
1. To motivate the agent – The agreement was for only 90 days. He would earn the entire 6% by selling the house within that time or they would switch agents.
2. Privacy – Aileen was a lawyer with political ambitions. It was important to her to keep the sale and the divorce low key.
A vague memory began to dawn on Charles' consciousness. Maybe he shouldn't have stopped by The Hole for a 'sandwich' before the meeting with the agent.
Final Note: Exclusive agreements with a broker or an agency can limit house's exposure to potential buyers on one hand. On the other hand, buyers seldom buy the first house they see so agents can attract buyers without mentioning your specific house in their advertising. Pocket listings are not 'the norm' though they can be useful under certain circumstances. Key: Understand the option.

Toyota Innova has been a huge hit for Toyota Motors. And at the recently concluded Auto Expo 2012, New Delhi, the cash cow received a much needed make over. With 23 variants in all (21 in diesel and 2 in petrol), the Toyota Innova will start with a base price of Rs 8.80 lakh and go up to Rs 13.6lakh for a fully loaded one. One of the first MPVs to hit the Indian roads, the new facelift are pretty cosmetic though. There is a revamped grille, redesigned shinny pair of headlamps, and a fully changed rear end of the car.
There is merit in Mahindra & Mahindra opening up the bookings for their latest SUV, the Mahindra XUV 500 again from 8th June 2012. The customer response to the XUV 500 was so overwhelming that all the SUVs made over a 9 months period were sold out in the first phase of launch. Now, after having revamped production to 4000 units/month, the company hopes to satisfy the growing demand. Currently available in 19 cities, the Mahindra XUV 500 is priced between Rs 11.58 lakh-14.11 lakh.
|Mahindra XUV500 W6 2WD
|Toyota Innova 2.5 E Diesel MS
|Engine Size
|mHawk140 VGT 2.2L Engine
|2.5L 102PS D-4D Common-rail diesel

The Verdict: The biggest advantage of the XUV 5oo is its pricing and its features. The Toyota Innova on the other hand is a cool MPV. It comes with Toyota seal of trust, offers good mileage, a smooth & comfortable ride, a technologically advanced diesel engine, and maneuverability. That being said, the Innova requires some modernization in terms of design, a size to make it more city friendly.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Awesome Recruiting' started by biggiegator, Jul 29, 2013.
Grew up a Gator fan. Did we run out of room at his projected position?
hmmmmm!!!. The Canes look like they are trying to do something over there.
Justus Reed took his spot
If the NCAA doesn't hammer UM there is no justice in this world. They were cheating like crazy while on probation for goodness sake.
Miami HAS been hammered. two bowl bans including an opportunity to play in a BCS game. The last 3 years of waiting has also been essentially a probation on recruiting in itself with the uncertainty, negative recruiting, etc.
There will be more. At least some scholorship reductions, and probably more.
Self imposed bowl bans is not probation. I want to see ship reductions to the point that a punishment shows up in reduced performance on the field.
The question is when. The NCAA is always slow about these things. Golden will probably be gone before they penalized them.
The last time line that I saw, said that hearings would be in about a month, which is the start of the season. I wondered why the NCAA was putting it off until then. Of course, the way they do things, it could be next year.
by your standards, they have been on probation for 10+ years :laugh:
Miami will get nothing. The NCAA has no balls. If I were running the NCAA, I would not let them give any scholarships for 7 years. It would all have to be pay as you go.
Dude... if half what has been said can be proven you guys are looking at a Death Sentence type punishment.
Bahamian Cane:
Don't get me wrong... I have nothing against you personally and your loyalty toward Miami. One of my best friends is a Canes fan.
But... it simply amazes me of how some Miami followers think.
And I mean that in a rather sincere way.
As I have said in earlier threads this year regarding Miami and what they have been doing down there over the last three decades. I come to... and repeat this question... once again:
Name me one school... one school that has done more breaking of rules and... in such an outlandish, bravado style... than Miami.
Please name me ONE school out of the 117 institutions in the NCAA that trumps Miami in their antics?
Everybody wants to look at Nevin Shapiro and him squawking to the NCAA.
And rightfully so! His testimony regarding the antics that occurred at the Mercury Club are flabbergasting.... just to name one incident.
But the truth of it all is that Miami has been a, "...loose cannon on ship"... for decades.
The stunts that they have pulled over the years and years have become so commonplace... so regular... so repeatable... that Cane fans have gotten accustomed to looking the other way... and not even thinking twice about it.
Miami was pulling crazy stuff... even back in the early 70's. And I am not minimizing Florida at all. They got into it when Pell came on board eight years later.
But how do I know?
I had two very good friends that I played high school ball with that took visits to Miami and eventually played for the Canes. They lived four doors down from me. They went south to Coral Gables... I took my talents to Gainesville.
^ Every school does it. Its just that the rule breakers involved don't get convicted running a billion dollar ponzi scheme and then sing like a canary.
One must be truly delusional to think that these big time programs are halo wearing saints who wouldn't dare think of going against the NCAA.....give me a break.
Miami has actually not been hammered, as everything has been on their terms. UM players were not allowed to transfer with immediately eligibility like Penn State and USC players when they were placed on probation. If I were NCAA, I would allow any player to transfer at year end to another program, as last phase of the penalties, but would not impose any other bowl bans or scholly reductions.
Seriously? That's because the bans were SELF IMPOSED. Alot of you are really going to be disappointed when our 'punishment' is revealed.
What I find more comical is that you said they gave up a BCS game lol
Maybe they banned their fans from the games too?
He waited too long to pull the trigger it appears.
yes except I didn't say that...

... Finally?
Holy crap, Electivire needs to get into Track & Field. O_o
Also, the animation seems a bit... weird.
Pikachu actually manages to beat a member of the Ele- family for once.
This was a great episode. However, one of the things that dissappointed me was the fact that Jessie kept complaining about her hair.

Imo, this was one of my favorite gym battles in the entire anime.
Pikachu gets his first win against a member of the Electabuzz family. He was extremely lucky that his Static ability activated in timing to Electivire, lowering the Speed it gained from Motor Drive. It was because of this that Pikachu was able to counter the slow-moving Electivire. This ability played a critical role in deciding the match. Had it not been activated, who knows if Pikachu would have won?
Then again, the paralysis effect of Static was only as effective as the end of the match. Tired from its fight with Electivire, Pikachu lost to Volkner's Luxray (whose electric-type moves were so powerful that it was able to push Pikachu, a pokemon that resists them, back).
Other than this, Infernape completely dominated the match. It singlehandedly defeated Volkner's Jolteon with Mach Punch. Infernape was unable to get an upper hand on Luxray until its Blaze ability activates. After that, well, it is a complete berserker. Infernape's fire-type attacks were so powerful that it grazed the ceiling and the wall behind Luxray. Luxray didn't stand a chance.
I didn't mind that Torterra had to act as the fall guy, just to show that Volkner teaches his electric pokemon moves that enable it to battle against pokemon that resist them (especially Ground-types). Especially since Ice Punch is 4x super effective against Torterra.
Team Rocket's presence in this episode was kept to the bare minimum. Their only purpose was to inadvertedly switch the electric power off so Infernape's activation of Blaze could be more epic. Speaking of which, Infernape has complete control of Blaze after it evolved.
If I have heard it correctly, it seems that Suzuran Island is called "Lily of the Valley Island."
Overall it was a great episode.
But we have to wait a month for the league??

Well, I woke up at 7 AM to be able to watch this, and they thoroughly took an episode that reeked of badass-ness in Japanese and butchered it.
First, after watching the Japanese episode, I got tired of hearing Team Rocket's lame puns.
Next. Infernape vs. Luxray. In Japanese:
Infernape gets knocked out.
Lights go out.
Infernape activated Blaze.
Infernape goes berserk and flamethrowers everything.
Infernape turns to Ash after Ash yells to calm down.
Infernape walks to Ash while Ash mutters, "I....I.....I believe in you."
Infernape smiles at Ash, and The Greatest Everyday begins playing in the background.
Badass scene begins.
In English:
Lights cut out, Infernape activates Blaze, goes berserk, flamethrowers the walls.
Infernape walks toward Ash, as Ash says, "I've got this covered. Yeah, you know I believe in you."
Infernape nods and smiles at Ash.
Random music without lyrics begins playing.
I get bored enough that I miss half of Infernape's fight.
Seriously. That scene was the reason I looked forward all week to watching this episode in English. Throwing "We Will Carry On" in the background in place of The Greatest Everyday would've completely sufficed. I just want to know....why. Why change it?
This makes me concerned about other badass moments in the rest of the league. I won't spoil that for people who don't want to be.
But, last, they changed the Pokemon League location from Suzuran Island to a new island. It sounded like Liliapaly Island or something. Hopefully someone caught the official spelling with closed captioning.
As for the league, I made this schedule up a few weeks ago:
Barring no pre-empting and a straight run through to DP191:
I tried catching the league location also. It sounded like Liliapally or Lily of the Valley. We need someone with closed captioning that caught it, otherwise we'll be waiting a long time for the spelling. Is there a repeat of this episode sometime in the next day or 2?10/09/10 177 Grand Festival Finale

Well considering Suzuran is Japanese for Lily-of-the-Valley, it's probably a direct translation. Strange choice to keep the name exact, though. It's a bit of a mouthful.

I heard Lily of the Valley. May be a direct translation, but I'm not a fan of it. Too much of a mouthful. Oh well, it does sound pretty, haha.
The battle was pretty good. Infernape is badass, I for one always liked the bezerk blaze moments, but it's nice to see him get it under control. I liked the part where it looked like he may have been going to attack Ash, and everyone was like silently freaking out. But then Ash had to ruin it by using the phrase, "we're cool." Oh man XD
I like Volkner and Flint. They're cool guys, haha. I think Volkner is my favorite gym leader in Sinnoh (with Byron coming in a close second for his obbsessive love of holes and defense XD)
So now we just have a little bit of a wait before the League!!! Can't wait for that to start up.
Oh, and one thing that really bugged me about this episode. Dawn in her stupid little cheerleader outfit. It's honestly one of the most annoying things ever to me in the anime. Not to mention it just makes me hate her even more. I don't know, I just find it unecessary. She can cheer for Ash without the ridiculous get up.

NY2009Remembering my legitimate rights,
studying up on bullying and remembering that my feelings, wants and desires are every bit as important as anyone else's when I'm dealing with them has worked wonders. 4 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

studying up on bullying and remembering that my feelings, wants and desires are every bit as important as anyone else's when I'm dealing with them has worked wonders. 4 years ago
thinking of a situation beginning with this perspective has helped. 4 years ago
I have no problem being a big hearted giver. But it is one thing to give of myself to a mature person who appreciates it, understands that I am giving something of myself, and who reciprocates in some way – and something else entirely to give (even with the best intentions) to someone who is doing nothing more than taking and using me. Some people take advantage of others and some people appreciate the gift you are giving and treat you with respect. I am not going to waste my time and energy on the takers anymore. If I do give to someone who doesn't respect and appeciate me, I'm going to understand that there's not something wrong with me for being thoughtful, considerate and giving (even if I did it without discernment as to the recipient) but more about them being immature and selfish—and ultimately undeserving of more of my energy. 5 years ago
I asked myself "is this my problem, or is this somebody else's problem?" It was somebody else's problem, so I let go and let them deal with it. So whatever happens, "not my problem."
And not in a bad way, but in a "I am not being taken advantage of" kind of way way. Because I'm not jumping in and taking misplaced responsibility for other people and their issues! So, now, just "that's too bad about your problem, I hope you work that out." And if you don't, your consequences to deal with. If you do, your growth and I'll be right there to pat you on the back. 5 years ago
These are the two things I need to work on establishing and following through on.
I guess I'm a wimp. I don't like confrontation and I like other people to be happy. I need to focus on liking ME to be happy and satisfied, and letting other people sort out their own happiness without taking advantage of me. I though I was being giving and generous, and I was, but I didn't realize how resentful I would become over time because I wasn't getting anything back. 5 years ago
i no longer put up with shit, but in a nice way. im not sure how it happened, but i think it might have something to do with the unconditonal love i am currently basking in. i know now that it doesnt matter how many people i upset by not bending to their will, because i always have a soft spot to fall. 8 years ago

It's offically over . . . . .Now Thanksgiving is here.
Well last night was a long night and todays Thanksgiving and it sucks my parents are going to my brothers house but im not going to be joining them. I dont want to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. My life for the last 7 or 8 months has been a living hell ever since my parents got back togather. I don't like living with guys at all b/c they are so not all there. I feel like Chrissy not talking to me ne more is all my fault and if i kept my mouth shut she would still be talking to me right now. I know she is still thinking about me but eventually she will forget me. Loosing a really good friend is hard but i guess life goes on. It's been really hard for me and im trying to figure out what i really want out of it. Taking relaxing hot baths is a good stress releaver i think. I just can't believe its over she said i believe u but look at the way i act i dont think we can be friends ne more but i'll love you 4ever. When she said that my heart just stopped i didnt know what to say but y. She told me that all we do is fight all the time and yeah thats true. I want to talk to her so badly and tell her how sorry i am but she thinks its better we dont talk. As a friend i will respect her wishes but when she told me that i just cried. The fact of loosing a really good friend is hard, i mean she wasnt my best friend but it sure did feel like it. We told eachother everything and i liked htat a lot. I know its going to be really hard getting over it but i guess i'll have to just move on and if she wants to talk to me she knows where ill be. But until then i'm alone and thinking about what i did that was so wrong and life goes on and i gotta be stong. (Thought of an old wonder).

Museums can get copyright right
One type of question that I get over and over again from faculty and graduate students involves copyright and images of art works held in museums. In fact, question is probably the wrong name for these discussions; mostly I try to be sympathetic as the researcher bemoans the thicket of claims and permission costs in [...]Continue Reading →
Fair use for appropriation art
A new ruling came out last week in one of the most interesting cases involving appropriation art, the ongoing dispute between photographer Patrick Cariou and appropriation artist Richard Prince. I wrote about the unfortunate decision from the district court back in 2011, and on Thursday the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision, [...]Continue Reading →
Copyright gets under your skin
I was considering a post about copyright in tattoos even before I read about a recent case. This blog post raises some interesting questions about who owns the rights in a tattoo, and trying to answer them seemed like an interesting exercise; a chance, at least, to review some basic concepts.
Then I read [...]Continue Reading →
Getting the whole picture
There has been a lot of attention paid to YouTube's announcement of its "Copyright School," which those accused of infringement will be forced to attend online. YouTube, of course, is trying to fend off more litigation, but that should not be an excuse for misrepresenting copyright law, as the new video that is part [...]Continue Reading →
One ring to rule them all?
How much control an author should have once a book leaves her hands is a fundamental question for copyright law. It arises in lots of contexts, but nowhere more directly than when a different author creates a sequel, a parody, or an homage and the original author objects.
This, of course, was the case with [...]Continue Reading →
Pirate Marketing?
Let me start with a confession; I have never seen the TV show Glee. But lately I have heard a lot about it, from the odd perspective of copyright law. In this blog post by Christina Mulligan, the copyright consequences of practices that are taken for granted in Glee are tallied up. Apparently the [...]Continue Reading →
Transformation and teaching
On Wednesday the Duke Libraries' Instruction and Outreach department held a retreat on the topic of "Digital Literacies." The excellent keynote speaker for the event was Ellysa Cahoy from Penn State University. As part of the retreat, I spoke very briefly about copyright issues around the use of digital media. My comments ended up [...]Continue Reading →
Facing the Future of Social Media
By Will Cross
As a scholarly communications librarian I am naturally excited when scholars embrace a promising new method of communication. As such, I was delighted to see this new study published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Although academia is just scratching the surface of social media use, this study of almost 1,000 [...]Continue Reading →
A lens on the digital challenge

The textbook world is getting flat
Earlier this month I was able, thanks to the organizing efforts of a colleague, to participate in a phone call with Jeff Shelstad, one of the founders of Flat World Knowledge. I wrote about Flat World some time ago, but I want to take the opportunity (before it fades in my mind) to describe [...]Continue Reading →

The practical implications include delicate internal surgery and search-and-rescue scenarios, both arenas wherein robots that could transform as needed would shine, according to engineers at MIT who have worked on the project with firm Boston Dynamics, DARPA's ChemBot program, the Max Planck Society and State University of New York at Stony Brook.
"The MIT approach … involves taking a material or structure that's inherently soft and modifying it with another material that can phase change between hard and soft states. In this case, MIT is using a scaffold made of foam that's been coated with wax," says Evan Ackerman of IEEE Spectrum. "…When the wax is cold and solid, the foam structure is rigid, but if the wax is heated to soften it, the entire foam structure becomes soft as well.
"The researchers also demonstrated that by selectively deforming parts of a structure, they could create joints and make the structure move using a cable...wax is one of the easier and safer materials to use for this purpose, although there are many other options, like liquid metals or…fluids that respond to magnetic and electrical fields."
Other observers, including Darrell Etherington of TechCrunch, have compared this cyber-versatility to that of the infamous T-1000 shapeshifting robot created by Skynet in Terminator 2: Judgement Day: "…the robots using this material heat the wax in their structure to make it malleable with current run through an embedded wire. This has the side benefit of also repairing any damage sustained to the structure while it's in its hard state" as does T-1000 of the Terminator film franchise.
"It's not quite liquid metal, but the researches behind the project do suggest that the wax could be replaced by a stronger substance like solder in future versions."

AppStorm manager David Appleyard and Rockable Press have done it again. In iPhone App Entrepreneur, David Appleyard provides you with the knowledge and the techniques you need to spot a great opportunity, get the most from the App Store, make smart decisions about development, craft a stunning interface, and promote your app successfully!
The book draws from the insights and experiences of 16 top-notch app developers, and survey responses from over 1000 iPhone users. As David says, "The iTunes® App StoreSM launched on July 10th, 2008 to much fanfare and drama. Opening up a marketplace for software developers to target the iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad™, it has rocketed to success over the past two years. At the time of writing this, over three billion applications have been downloaded. The potential for success has proven to be phenomenal. Developers have the ability to easily reach millions of users through a central marketplace, and many are leveraging that opportunity to make thousands of dollars every day.
Unfortunately, despite the occasional success story, the fact remains that becoming an overnight App Store phenomenon is difficult. Many developers struggle to achieve great success with their application, and it's a tough market to succeed in. If you're wanting to strike it big as an app entrepreneur, it isn't enough just to have a decent idea and some programming knowledge.
This book won't give you a killer idea, nor will it teach you the ins and outs of programming for the iPhone. What it will do is provide you with all the knowledge and technique you need to spot a great opportunity, get the most from the App Store, make smart decisions about development, craft a stunning interface, and promote your app successfully.
Drawing on survey responses from over 1,000 iPhone users, and in-depth insight from a handful of incredibly talented iPhone developers, this guide will equip you with everything you need to successfully become an iPhone app entrepreneur.
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the journey!"

How Do You Act When The Pressure Is On?
How do you act when the pressure's on, When the chance for victory is almost gone. When Fortune's star has refused to shine, When the ball is on your five yard line?
How do you act when the going's rough, Does your spirit lag when the breaks are tough? Or, is there in you a flame that glows Brighter as fiercer the battle grows?
How hard, how long will you fight the foe? That's what the world would like to know!
Cowards can fight when they're out ahead. The uphill grind shows a thoroughbred! You wish for success? Then tell me son, How do you act when the pressure's on?
From "The Winners Manual" by Jim Tressell, Head Football Coach at Ohio State University

This contains 76 individual sensors that allow for multi-directional flexibility through the entire footstrike, from landing to taking off.
EasyTone has built-in balance pods, featuring Moving Air Technology that transfer air in response to your stride and create micro-instability with every step, much like walking on a sandy beach, which encourages toning through increased muscle activation in 3 key areas of the leg. This gives you 28% more of a workout for your bottom and 11% more for your hamstrings and calves.
ZigTech, one-of-a-kind zig-zag-shaped sole, absorbs the impact of heel strike and propels you forward, while reducing wear and tear up to 20% in key leg muscles making you less prone to injury. The Premier ZigTech range has become a very popular choice for competitive runners and top triathletes. The shoe can be used over shorter distances as well as marathons and ultras. Former Comrades gold medalists have made this their shoe of choice for tackling Comrades in 2011.
3D Ultralite is a proprietary foam material engineered to be lightweight, with extra durability and responsiveness. As a result, shoes made with 3D Ultralite are 10-20% lighter than shoes made with conventional construction. The proprietary blend of materials in 3D Ultralite includes EVA, rubber and other compounds. The mix of these materials can be varied to meet the specific needs of different activities. The process of creating 3D Ultralite is based on injection-molding, which creates more uniform, more consistent sole units.
HexRide, a cushioning technology, was created to provide the athlete with a cushioned, lightweight ride. The midsole of a HexRide shoe is cored out into a pattern of hexagonal recesses. The air inside the hexagonal shapes is sealed in with an impact resistant polymer film to create a lightweight yet very cushioned ride.
KineticFit provides a fit system that accommodates the changes in size and shape of an athlete's foot as it moves. From impact through toe-off, the foot can change up to half of a shoe size. KineticFit construction makes use of a series of engineered stretch panels positioned in key areas of the shoe. These panels allow the shoe to respond and move naturally with the foot.
A rigid material in the shank area of the midsole which can be found on the midfoot area to helps keep the foot neutral in the midfoot phase of the gait cycle.
A firmer density of EVA located on the medial side of the midsole that slows the rate and controls the maximum angle of over-pronation. This is designed for those runners who over-pronates when running.
Acts like a heel cradle, when heated this U-Form Technology contours to your foot for a customised fit.
Heating instructions: heat shoes in a conventional oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes; put on shoe, lace it up tight and sit 8 minutes while shoe forms to foot; after one hour, once shoe has cooled, your custom fitting shoe will be ready for game time.
SmoothFit is an upper technology that provides the ultimate in comfortable fit. The construction of SmoothFit is designed from the inside out. All seams are either eliminated or sealed both inside and outside the upper. The goal is to create a fit with minimal potential irritation inside a light, flexible, streamlined aesthetic upper.
DMX Ride Foam is a proprietary foam formulation that delivers a cushioned ride in a longer lasting, more lively feeling system. DMX Foam is typically more consistent and longer lasting than standard midsole formulations.
DMX Ride+ Foam is a cushioned foam midsole which is stronger than original DMX. Longer lasting and more cushioned, helps your stride feel fluid from heel to forefoot.
DMX Shear is a cushioning component that works to slow down and distribute the stress at heel strike. On impact, DMX Shear allows the foot to continue forward while slowing the heel of the shoe. The slowing of the heel enables force to be distributed both vertically and horizontally creating less stress on the foot.
Forefoot protective toe cap that are designed to help prevent stones and debris from hitting your toes and reducing the chance of injuries when running on rough terrain.
This trail specific lugged outsole is designed to provide decent cushioning, good traction and handling making sure you stays on your feet in slippery conditions.
Anatomically designed to provide added cushioning, support and snug fit around your feet.
This Lighweight flexibile material provides added cushioning while maintaining durability and a smooth ride when you run.
DMX Max is a hollow two-pod cushioning system made for the walker seeking the maximum amount of DMX cushioning. Air trapped inside DMX Max travels back and forth under the foot in concert with each walker's individual stride. This moving cushion of air delivers sensational cushioning and comfort.
Hexalite is a lightweight, honeycomb-shaped cushioning material that provides enhanced shock absorption in areas of peak pressure. The Hexalite technology is 4 times more durable than EVA foam and absorbs up to 23% more energy than the equivalent amount of EVA Foam. Tough urethane film combined with the structural integrity of the honeycomb linkage make it one of the most durable cushioning systems used in footwear.
Located in heel area, usually found on VibeTrain's shoe range. This wave looking responsive ENERGYFOAM provides a plush cushioning and help maximize return of energy for your workout.
Shapewear by Reebok features premium Shape'n Lift panel technology, for consumers looking to enhance their curves in the gym. The apparel has been created with fitness in mind with its unique shape'n lift panel technology. It wraps around from your front mid section to your back, creating slimmed and smoothed silhouette.
PlayDry is a moisture management system that helps keep you cooler, dryer and more comfortable. This "base layer" moves moisture, accelerates evaporation, increases ventilation and reduces abrasion without trapping the body's thermal energy.
Playshield is an "outer layer" that acts as the final shield against the elements. Breathable linings, friction reducing fabrics, strategic venting and ergonomic construction integrate to maximize the athletic performance in the most inclement weather.
PlayWarm is a "cover layer" that creates "dead air" space to slow the body's thermal energy loss, while assisting in the dispersion of moisture initiated by the PlayDry base layer.
XStatic is a heat-regulating thermodynamic silver meets an EPA-registered antimicrobial. Together they create an anti-odor, anti-sweat and anti-cold fabric so powerful, it's performance stays true over time. XStatic silver embedded fibers react to the body's temperature, keeping you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold.

After watching a four-run lead slip away in an extra-innings loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night, the Washington Nationals were anxious to come back and shut the Braves down on Saturday afternoon. But Tim Hudson, Evan Gattis and an untimely error proved to be too much for the Nationals to rally against in the 3-1 loss.
What we learned today:
Zim isn't invincible: An error from the Golden Glove winner was a significant factor in the Nationals' loss, again. Ryan Zimmerman's throwing error yesterday allowed the Braves' tying runs to score, and today an E6 again put Atlanta in a position to score. Zimmerman's throw to first was short, pulling Adam LaRoche off the bag and leaving Justin Upton standing on first base with two outs in the third. Instead of ending the inning, that miscue brought Gattis to the plate, and he capitalized on the Nationals' misfortune by blasting a home run to left, making the score 2-0. Zim said he wasn't worried that the errors were products of his previous shoulder injury, which he had surgery on in the offseason. It was just unfortunate that the Braves were able to take advantage of his mistakes.
Ramos pulled his hamstring: In the eighth inning, Wilson Ramos tried to leg out a grounder, and stepped gingerly off the field after being called out. Davey Johnson called Ramos' injury "the heartbreak of the day," as he will likely miss several weeks after just fully recovering from the knee injury he sustained last May. Kurt Suzuki will take over as the everyday catcher, and Triple-A catcher Jhonatan Solano is in line to be called up if and when Ramos is put on the disabled list.
You don't run on Bryce Harper: Dan Uggla made the mistake of testing Harper's arm today in the second inning. With two outs, Hudson hit a ground ball single to left field, which Harper promptly gunned home to throw out Uggla as he attempted to score. Though Harper went 0-for-3 at the plate, ending his six-game hitting streak, he made his contribution from the field.
Danny is heating up: Danny Espinosa hit his first home run of the year, a solo shot to right, which was also his first hit in two games. After Espinosa hit .333 in Spring Training, Johnson was surprised he's had a slow start to the regular season, but hopefully his 1-for-3 effort today is a sign that he is finding his rhythm again.
Strasburg is still the ace: Though he threw a lot of pitches and struggled with throwing his breaking balls for strikes in the first few innings, Stephen Strasburg did his part to put the Nationals in a position to win on Saturday afternoon. He lasted six innings, and gave up five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts. Strasburg retired the last seven consecutive batters he faces to finish his outing strong.
Tim Hudson is also an ace: In the Braves eighth straight win, Hudson shut down the Nationals offense, throwing 90 pitches in seven innings. He faced the minimum in five inninigs, gave up just four hits and no walks, and struck out three.
The bullpen was better today, but still not great: Zach Duke and Henry Rodriquez both pitched scoreless innings, while Ryan Mattheus allowed one earned run in the ninth. Duke was sharp, and had a 1-2-3 inning on 12 pitches. Rodriguez showed why Johnson feels he still needs work, walking two batters, striking out one, and eventually escaping the inning with no harm done. Mattheus struggled the most of the bunch, giving up three singles and allowing the Braves to tack on an insurance run with a ground out by Jason Heyward.
Scoring against the Braves must be done before the eighth inning: Eric O'Flaherty needed just six pitches to retire the side in the eighth, and according to the 106.7 radio broadcast, he continues to boast a 0.00 ERA against the Nationals. Craig Kimbrel was fantastic as usual, throwing ten pitches to face the minimum and earn his fifth save of the season.
Tomorrow is a chance for redemption: Gio Gonzalez, whose bobble head day drew a sellout crowd of 41,992 on Saturday, will take the hill tomorrow at 1:35 on Sunday. Though they already lost the series, the Nats will try to avoid being swept for the first time.
