that song is awesome
this album really does pick up halfway through. i love the second half. shoot me.
wait this is kinda cool thanks polyvinyl for sending it to me for free woo
Album Rating: 5.0I think my favorite quality of this band is all the different reactions that listeners have to them. "I wanna make you come 200 times a day." You do, Kevin. You do.
Digging: Of Montreal - Aureate Gloom
Album Rating: 5.0Still can't believe people don't like this. One of the most catchy/memorable albums I've ever heard. Every day there are at least six different melodies from this album that I can't get out of my head.
Album Rating: 5.0Wonder how many times the reviewer listened to this. Sounds like you were reviewing it as you were listening to it for the first time, tbh
Album Rating: 5.0I agree, probably my favorite OM album. I can see why it's so hated since it's so flamboyant but I love almost every minute, so many great hooks. Their older stuff doesn't do much for me; just don't enjoy that straight-up psychedelic sound. It's when his music started getting funky that caught my interest, mostly starting with Sunlandic, though I do enjoy some of Satanic Panic.
Album Rating: 5.0I love alllll of his stuff. Have you listened to Daughter of Cloud yet? A good deal of it is funky.
I love this. Of Montreal are one of those bands that sound like christmas to me :]
Album Rating: 4.0saw them live right after this came out, ah 2008
Album Rating: 4.5If this is homosexuality, sign me up.
Digging: Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness
Album Rating: 5.0yup it's like this all the time promise
of montreal thread comment
Do the haters of this album feel dumb yet? This album is such a hard 5. Yeah, it's flamboyant. But that's just part of the fun. I wouldn't hesitate to call this Barnes' artistic masterpiece. Meticulously written and arranged, this has more packed into it than any bullshit you guys are hopping on. The way it seamlessly segways from idea to idea within matters of seconds, destroying any conventional idea of song structure. Funk, psychedelia, prog, R&B, electonic, and glam combine here to make an extremely catchy record that is avant-garde in execution. And the moodswings! This album is all about masterful juxtapositions, musically and lyrically. Flowing back and forth between the highest of highs and lowest of lows as if they are the same thing. People make a big deal about the overtly sexual lyrics, but fail to point out how they are thoughtfully surrounded with sections of deep introspection, doubt, depression, and surrealist imagery. It's such a personal album that should easily connect with anyone who has dealt with these themes. At the same time, it's incredibly uplifting. Musically and lyrically, it really doesn't get any better. I'm listening to it for the n00th time, and it seriously gets better every time. It's just so detailed and thought out. I feel like this is the kind of album that would be considered a classic if given the proper attention. It's surprising to me that it hasn't reached that status. I started writing this comment on a whim after remembering how so many sputbros irrationally hate this. Looking back, it should have been a soundoff, but fuck it. Maybe I'll review it.
Album Rating: 5.0sadly kevin barnes will join the ranks of people who aren't appreciated fully until they're dead. there is not a more prolific songwriter alive right now this is far and beyond the darling of Montreal album by fans
Yeah I mean I'm a huge fan of all of his shit but still, I don't understand how so many people can hate this when it is what it is
Album Rating: 5.0lost so much faith in this site when y'all gave this a 1.5. this is the best of montreal album

Porter County Law and Order: Renter may have stolen appliances
Post-Tribune staff reports June 21, 2013 1:06PM
Updated: July 24, 2013 6:49AM
Renter may have stolen appliances
A clothes washer and dryer, refrigerator, upright freezer and air conditioner were reported stolen between June 4 and Wednesday from a rental house in the 300 block of Wilshire Court, in Shorewood Forest. The renter was evicted during this time period, according to the police report. The loss was estimated at $1,400.
Neighbor helped cops arrest suspect
The neighbor of a theft victim and a scrap yard manager helped police find a man who allegedly stole scrap farm equipment from a property in the 400 block of East County Road 1400N, northeast of Chesterton. The neighbor saw a red pickup with a broken back window at the property at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday, and he called police and nearby SIMS Metal Management, 156 E. U.S. 20, with the vehicle description. SIMS, which paid $73 for the metal to a frequent seller, provided police with a photo of the truck and a copy of suspect Brett Jolliff's driver's license. Jolliff, 30, of Chesterton, was arrested for felony theft and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Lawnmower stolen from end of drive
A lawnmower was reported stolen between Monday and Thursday from the 500 block of Rainer Court, in South Haven. The victim told police his son left the Troy Bilt mower at the end of the driveway, and a garbage collector or scrapper may have mistaken it for garbage.

Gears of War straddles the timeline of the Xbox 360 like a muscular, testosterone-sodden and occasionally soppy colossus. It's written itself into the DNA of the console, and mutated the genetic code of the third-person shooter.
It revved-up the modern need for co-op play. It popularised sticky cover to the point where it infected games as distant in tone and content as Deus Ex: Human Revolution. And in terms of Epic's output, it was the first time the thick-set parodies of masculinity that bounced around Unreal Tournament maps felt as heavy as they looked. As the current gen's lifespan stretches on, Gears has had to open its stance a little wider. Judgment is Gears' cowboy-stanced farewell to the Xbox 360.
That's not to say it's a retrospective. Judgment is a new creature, with changes both minor and huge. For starters, that simmering bromance is over. The spotlight has moved on to fan favourite Lieutenant Baird. Fifteen years later, you might remember, he's a Private. That negative-velocity career path could have something to do with Judgment's storyline - Baird, Cole, and the two previously unknown members of Kilo Squad are standing trial for their actions in the weeks following E-Day.
Judgment steps away from a linear narrative. It's a sentence that's as bold as it is vague, but there are a number of concrete ways in which this shows itself. There are fewer cutscenes. People don't stop to chat mid-level. Instead, introductions to the levels are narrated in the form of testimony. It's a method that doesn't force you to stop the action for the story.
Also, the story seeps into the level design. Just like Bulletstorm, the world is full of clues as to what's happened. The wounds of the city are still fresh - we're just two weeks after the day that the Locust exhumed themselves and set about diligently whaling on us. The buildings had banners up - we were attacked during a celebration. Pay attention to the world, the bloodstains and the graffiti, and you'll see clues of stories that you'll never get told. Oh, and another new thing: Gears has got a new multiplayer mode.
All For One, Free-For-All
Free-For-All. The words themselves are nothing new - it's just another way of saying Deathmatch, and that's the oldest word in the LAN party phrasebook. But this is Gears: a series built on teamwork. A series that wilfully put Unreal Tournament to one side and created a game of desperate battlefronts, of tidal multiplayer. Free-For-All is a little chaotic - for a long time, Epic was convinced that it wasn't compatible with Gears. But it's a feature that's been requested so regularly that Epic tried it out. And with a few tweaks, it's got it to work. Good thing, too. After all, everyone's got a Horde Mode these days.
Once that decision was made, other changes became inevitable. Ten players all intent on killing each other alters the way the game has to work. The first revision is grenades. That classic dotted-blue line that appears while you swing the grenade like a manly handbag is all very well when you're trying to shut down an E-Hole. But when nine other players have a vested interest in bulleting your big muscular face off, this kind of ponderous lobbing is suicidal.
So now the left bumper automatically lobs out a grenade a fraction of a second after you press it. And those grenades have a new, adhesive property. If you hit your target with one, it'll stick to him like an amorous toilet chain. It's a definite kill. It's also a good time to run - there's nothing as homicidally aggrieved as a massive dude with a grenade on his face that he can't pull off. He could use his emotional final seconds to get lethally close to you. This creates a knock-on effect of control tweaks. The Tac-Com moves from LB to the D-pad.

Providence leading scorer Jamine Peterson going pro, but not to the NBA
Weeks past the deadline for early entries into the 2010 NBA Draft, Providence sophomore forward Jamine Peterson is going pro.
"After speaking to my family and my coaches, I came to this conclusion," Peterson, a 6-6 Brooklyn native, told me on the phone just a few minutes ago.
After putting up 19.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season, "Greedy" was considering leaving early for the NBA, but initially decided to stay in school. So for him to change his mind today is curious to say the least, especially with reports coming out of Providence that Peterson was dismissed from the Friars program for undisclosed reasons. By leaving school now, Peterson would have to play overseas or in the D-League before becoming eligible for the 2011 NBA Draft. Read More »

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-A combination of increased sales and expense controls helped Dillard's boost its second-quarter bottom line by 76.1 percent, to $31 million.
Net sales in the quarter, which ended on July 28, rose 3.2 percent to $1.5 billion, including a gain of 3 percent in same-store sales. A Dillard's statement said sales were particularly strong in ladies' accessories, lingerie, shoes and cosmetics. Home and furniture were among the weaker performers in the retailer's sales mix.
Gross margin rose 44 basis points to 33.6 percent. Operating expenses (including advertising, selling, general and administrative costs) edged up 0.7 percent in dollars but fell back 65 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 26.8 percent.
William T. Dillard II, Dillard's CEO, credited the company's "notable improvement" in operating results to the sales gains and expense controls.

This is a wonderful book for my kindergartner grandson. He was stressing so much about thinking of things to write about at school, that he did not want to go. This story was almost written for him.
We also love her illustrations.

Is it worth trying to have a voice if it means exposing > yourself to BS behaviour? I'll second that; it's impossible to discuss on bugzilla, as you just get trolled or spammed. The process appears to be moving to "get discussion off ML and onto bugzilla where it can be killed" which appears to be a subversion of things, from where I'm sitting; I thought the idea was to have ML discussion _before_ stuff was proposed for a new EAPI? You know, so that alternative approaches could be considered, the problem defined adequately, and so on, with reference to the wider, knowledgeable readership. As it is, we're now getting long lists of stuff dumped on to the ML as "the new EAPI" with little review beyond a post-hoc justification that "a Gentoo dev filed a bug asking for it." NB: I'm happy for there to be discussion via bugzilla, but not under ciaranm's supervision. After all, he's been proven to have issues when it comes to social interaction, which is pretty much essential to leading a project. And even then, I think ideas should be mooted to the list (via the RFC mechanism?) in line with the agreed process. The PMS list has the same problem: it's seen as ciaranm's domain, and we all know he doesn't set a collaborative tone, but rather one of conflict, which anyone on a clock can't be bothered with. Regrettably, if we don't get our 2c in, which is a hassle, we end up with more hassle further down the line. -- #friendly-coders -- We're friendly but we're not /that/ friendly ;-)

Social Media Mavens: 12 More Black Women You Need To Be Following
Soledad O'Brien (@Soledad_OBrien),
Journalist and Documentarian
Now she was definitely one of the first media personalities and journalists I followed during my Twitter beginnings. She stepped up to the plate for black folks and other folks of color when it came to producing meaningful news documentaries on OUR issues, and for that she has earned her following.
Social Media Week NYC: The Developing World Goes Social to Benefit Women and Girls
American society puts a lot of focus on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. But when it comes to developing countries, the focus can, and should, be on the real-world social networks that people have, particularly women and girls. At the 92Y Tribeca this morning, a panel of nonprofit organizations spoke about "Girls' Education and Women's Empowerment in Real World Social Networks" as
part of Social Media Week New York.
Speakers included Scott MacMillan, communications manager for BRAC USA; Farzana Kashfi, the former senior manager of the education program at BRAC Bangladesh; Lynne Patterson, co-founder of Pro Mujer; and Christen Brandt, director of international operations for She's the First. The event was hosted by the BRAC Task Force NYC.
All the organizations focus on educating and empowering women in countries around the world, including Bolivia, Bangladesh, Uganda, Mexico, Guatemala, and more. MacMillan spoke about the situation in Bangladesh after its independence in the '70s, highlighting how the landless people had no relationships, no networks, and therefore no power. But, that the situation shifted when NGOs and organizations, like BRAC, which launched in Bangladesh in 1972, worked to organizing the rural poor, mainly women.
"The most effective pressure point they found was working with women: poor, landless rural women especially," he said. "Women and girls meet in a safe space, and within this setting that begins with socializing, and through their peer mentors, supported by BRAC, they receive training in life skills, reproductive health, finance, micro-loans."
BRAC currently operates in 10 countries around the world, using a holistic development approach. The organization educates communities, especially women, about microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services, community empowerment, and more.
"When you go to a developing country you see men and boys hanging out on the streets and in the shops, but you rarely see girls spending time together," said Kashfi. "Giving them this safe space where they can be themselves and share their stories is really important in helping raise their confidence level."
Working with women and girls in Latin America has been the mission of Pro Mujer since its debut 23 years ago, Patterson explained. The organization works with mothers, also bringing them together in "safe space" peer groups, and provides micro-loans to help them start their own businesses, or expand work their families have done for generations.
"We began working with women and we realized that, since our major focus was the next generation, we needed to work with mothers," Patterson said. "The fuel behind Pro Mujer and everything we're doing is a woman's desire to give her children a better life. A woman will work 24/7 because she doesn't want her child to suffer in the same way she did." She showed a video of a woman in Mexico who had been
helped by Pro Mujer.
Social Media Week Adds Lagos, Nigeria To a Line Up That Includes DC, Los Angeles, & New York
Social Media Week, the twice-annual international digital conference, will be taking place in Africa for the first time in its four-year history.
Social Media Week events take place in major cities around the world during the same five-day time frame. The first Social Media Week of 2013 will take place February 18 through 22. Through a series of presentations, discussions, and other events, the conference seeks to "[explore] the social, cultural and economic impact of social media," the conference website says.
Among the cities participating in next month's SMW is Lagos, Nigeria. Lagos is the seventh fastest-growing city in the world according to a press release we received with the news. The other cities will be: Copenhagen, New York, Hamburg, Miami, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, and Washington DC.

Work detailsThe Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen (2001)

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A fairly standard serial killa thrilla, but well done. Reminiscent of some of Jeffrey Deaver, some of Thomas Harris. Lots of exsanguination, not for the queasy. Good character development; potential for stereotyping avoided by having a couple people learn things about themselves. This is the first Jane Rizzoli novel; I understand she gains a partner and creates a series. She has an awful chip on her shoulder in this one, but actually does a fair job of knocking it off by herself in the end. Review written in March, 2011 Why did I now know about these books before the TV show, and why has it take me 2 years to actually start reading them? So I come to this series as a fan of Rizzoli and Isles. Well, maybe not a hardcore fan. Let's say I love Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander from their previous cop show adventures, and I'm not quite willing to pass up a show that features BOTH of them. In its defense, R&I is getting better. So, I've never as passionate about this genre of books as I am about my fantasy loves. That said, I enjoyed this as much as most of the Kathy Reich's books, and a hell of a lot more than Virals. Still can't say enough bad things about Virals. Craving more characterization than this book gave, but since it's the first of a series, I can be patient. I'm trying not to hate book Rizzoli, but she really makes it hard, being so bitchy and one dimensional. Again, I'll be patient. Good, believable story with decent characterization. I kind of wish that Dr. Cordell became the focus of the series, but I think that's Ms. Gerritsen's point. Rizzoli has her flaws and it's what makes her real. The Surgeon is billed, on the cover, as the first book in Tess Gerritsen's "Rizzoli and Isles" series, and it is . . . sort of. Jane Rizzoli is present and accounted for, but as a supporting character in the story of Boston trauma surgeon Catherine Cordell: the would-be victim, and killer, of a notorious serial murderer known as The Surgeon. Gerritsen keeps multiple subplots in play throughout the novel: a series of crimes in Boston that mirror those The Surgeon committed in Georgia years before, the efforts of Rizzoli and her partner Thomas Moore to solve them, Cordell's traumatic flashbacks to her ordeal, threats against her that may be coming from the copycat killer, and the tangled personal lives of all three. Gerritsen balances them well, but the sheer number means that most of them are developed, most of the time, in fairly schematic ways. The police work is satisfying but streamlined, Rizzoli's fight against marginalization (as the "new guy" and only woman among the detectives) is believable but over-familiar, and the identity of the killer feels—for lack of alternate suspects—almost inevitable. The story is consistently engrossing, but rarely gripping. A consistent exception—not surprisingly, given Gerritsen's medical background—are the hospital scenes of Cordell at work. They work both as medical drama and as characterization, establishing her as a tough, competent, resourceful woman, and rendering her actions (past and present alike) plausible. They make Cordell the one fully-realized character in the novel—though Moore comes close—and that, in turn, works to the book's immeasurable benefit, since she takes center stage more and more often as the multi-threaded plot spins toward its climax. Reading The Surgeon with no real sense of where the series is going, I found myself looking forward to watching Gerritsen do similar things with Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles. In this serial killer novel, the culprit is somebody with a medical background who has been dubbed by the media as "The Surgeon". On the case are Detectives Moore and Rizzoli, who consulted in a case in Georgia a couple of years earlier. Tied into the two cases are Dr. Catherine Cordell, who killed the man responsible for the previous murders. She is now in Boston where the attacks are happening, and appears to be the center of the killer's obsession. I have read so many serial killer novels, that I tend to get bored by them. There is only so much that can be done on the subject, and it pretty much has already been done before. With the lack of new ground, there has to be something that really stands out to make it interesting. Nothing stands out about this novel. The writing is certainly solid and I don't have much to complain about. It's very obvious early on that the person performing the murders is someone who was involved with the original murderer, so the reveal is hardly surprising. Everything else about the novel is fairly generic and not horribly compelling. Not that this was a bad novel, it just doesn't stand out.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345447840, Mass Market Paperback)Penzler Pick, August 2001: Tess Gerritsen left a very successful career as an internist to raise her children and devote more time to writing. After several books that have had moderate success, Gerritsen has now written a gruesome and frightening story that should put her among the top women thriller writers working today.A serial killer is on the loose in Boston. The victims are killed in a particularly nasty way: cut with a scalpel on the stomach, the intestines and uterus removed, and then the throat slashed. The killer obviously has medical knowledge and has been dubbed "the Surgeon" by the media. Detective Thomas Moore and his partner Rizzoli of the Boston Homicide Unit have discovered something that makes this case even more chilling. Years ago in Savannah a serial killer murdered in exactly the same way. He was finally stopped by his last victim, who shot him as he tried to cut her. That last victim is Dr. Catherine Cordell, who now works as a cardiac surgeon at one of Boston's prestigious hospitals. As the murders continue, it becomes obvious that the killer is drawing closer and closer to Dr. Cordell, who is becoming so frightened that she is virtually unable to function. But she is the only person who can help the police catch this copycat killer. Or is it a copycat? To complicate matters even further, Detective Moore, often referred to as Saint Thomas as he continues to mourn the loss of his wife, is getting emotionally involved with the doctor. The suspense in The Surgeon is almost unbearable. The writing is superb and the stunning twists and turns make it almost impossible to put down. -- Otto Penzler (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:28:16 -0400) A female heart surgeon, terrorized by a serial killer in Boston using the same MO as a killer who attacked her during her internship years in Savannah, works with a detective to solve the crime while trying to stay alive.

A Tony-winning musical about a Hall of Fame rock group by an Oscar-winning director—on paper, it sounds like a sure-fire hit. So why did Clint Eastwood's Jersey Boys fall flat in theaters this weekend?
Simply because Clint Eastwood should have never directed it in the first place.
When Jersey Boys opened on Broadway back in 2005, it broke the mold of the emerging trend of "jukebox musicals"—that is, musicals that repurposed pre-existing songs and placed them into stories—by using the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons that were already loved and adored by millions to tell their own story. It went on to win four Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor in a Musical for the relative unknown John Lloyd Young, who played Frankie Valli.
From that point on, the story of four guys who went from singing under a street lamp to the biggest spotlights seemed destined to be adapted for the big screen. Right after Jersey Boys made Broadway its new stomping ground, films of Dreamgirls, Hairspray, and Mamma Mia! were hitting theaters around the world and studios were green-lighting movie musical after movie musical.

message said "please call "55"
replying with STOP did not help at all, still looking for a solution!
I get at least 1 maybe 2 text messages per day and I am on limited texting
I have received nine.texts with the formatting of the message as 129: Please call "xxx-xxx-xxxx. Is it fact that this is someone using a cell carrier to mask their phone number? What I find particularly alarming is that the numbers requested to call back are numbers from my personal contacts. Has someone tapped into my phone?
Origination Mauritania. Phone number reported on stmt 222-225-3693. No message just "129". Cell carrier can do nothing to stop except block all text, unacceptable, or charge $4/mth to avoid, at this point, $0.40/mth text msg charge, also unacceptable.
several texts a day with garble like above. Usually triggered by phone calls, then text comes in
Got a text saying please call 8772202637...I tried sending stop but it immediately said message failed. And I have perfect service right now.
I get this text message everyday, several time! All it say's is "129"...nothing else...anyone help?!
Get blank text from 129. Do not have voicemail notification turned on. Frustrated!
STOP did not work
Best Answer (Chosen by Asker)
When a person calls you, and you let it go to Voice Mail, many phone services give the caller the option to "page this person" instead of leaving a voice message. When they do, they enter the # they want you to call them at, just like a pager, and it goes to your cell phone as a text message. The source "129" is your cell phone service, not a third-party site.
Since you have a TRO on this person, it might be wise to report it to the authorities.

I must admit that makes sense...I wonder why I didn't think of that? Hmmm I think I was too involved in the third party idea. Thanks Mandy!!!
Usually it's just a bunch of garble -- I thought it might be a url, but there's no actual corresponding web address
I get the very same text every day
Not sure why
WHen I recieve this, there is a bunch or garble and then gives me what looks like an email address and stuff about t-mobile. I looked it up on other forums and it seems to be related to the visual voicemail.
Received 5 texts from 129 with a bunch of letters/numbers/symbols. All texts were received over a period of 1 hour.

"Articulated wall" is the only large-scale Bayer currently on public view in Denver, though there was once another one: Bayer created a major indoor installation for the lobby of the Anaconda Tower, at 555 17th Street. I remember it well and feel fortunate to have seen it before it was foolishly ripped out during a remodel in the mid-1990s. The installation included a shallow pool of water lined with tile and trimmed out in white marble, with large white marble forms, including rectangles, diamonds and semi-circles, set on end. It was fabulous. No one in the art world knew it was endangered -- after all, who in his or her right mind would ax the Bayer material? -- but art dealer Sandy Carson caught wind of the impending vandalism and saved the lobby piece. However, she came in too late to foil plans to annihilate a Bayer mural on the Anaconda's mezzanine, which was painted over. The installation was to be hauled to the dumpsters, but it is now safely in storage at the DAM and will hopefully be re-erected somewhere, someday. The Emil Nelson show has a small model of the Anaconda piece, with the pool painted black and the edges and the forms painted white.
There are so many remarkable maquettes in the show that you might miss all the great works on paper. I especially liked the large untitled lithograph on the back wall in which stripes and crescents intersect one another so that they almost resemble organic forms. Plus, there are all the gorgeous Bayer-designed posters, many of them in racks, that are the most affordable pieces included, costing only a few hundred dollars apiece.
As I surveyed the show one last time, it occurred to me that herbert bayer: maquettes, prints and posters wasn't an abbreviated museum show, but a full-scale production that was shoehorned into the tiny spaces of the Emil Nelson Gallery.
Just a few blocks up Capitol Hill, at 13th and Pennsylvania, is the wonderful Kirkland Museum, where there's always a large selection of Kirkland paintings. Recently the museum announced that three of the artist's most important creations -- "Space Mysteries," 1958, "Vibrations of Scarlet on Crimson," 1968, and "Explosions in Unknown Space," 1976 -- will be hung in the Newton Auditorium's Grand Gallery, which will be adjacent to the still-to-be completed Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The Grand Gallery will make up the lobby space at the orchestra level of the opera house, which is being inserted into the historic 1904-1908 Newton. On the concourse level, works by Stephen Batura and John DeAndrea have been commissioned.
The Newton name was affixed to the auditorium in 2003 in honor of former mayor Quigg Newton. Interestingly, Newton displayed Kirkland's paintings in his office during his term, which is why museum director Hugh Grant felt that it was fitting to display Kirklands in the newly renovated Newton Auditorium.
"Space Mysteries" and "Explosions in Unknown Space" are examples of the artist's experiments in mixing oil and water. "Vibrations of Scarlet on Crimson" is a classic dot painting in an op-art style and, at fourteen feet across, has the distinction of being Kirkland's largest single-panel painting.
Kirkland invented both the oil-and-water mixture and the transfer-painted dot techniques, as well as the subject matter: an imaginary view of outer space. "Kirkland was sad that humans were destroying their own environment, so he went to the stars," Grant says. "The paintings are a sort of commentary on our disregard for our own earth. Needless to say, he was a Democrat." As was Newton, I might add. Another interesting connection is that November 3 was the hundredth anniversary of Kirkland's birth, meaning he was born in 1904 -- the same year the Newton Auditorium was designed!
It will be the summer of 2005 before the Newton Auditorium is completed, which is when the public will get to see those Kirklands. In the meantime, check out the museum itself, where there are many examples of the master's work on display right now.

I've been enjoying a Jackson Perkins Sunflare flouribunda for many years because of it's beauty and disease resistance. It virtually is bothered by nothing. I'm moving from St Louis to southern Alabama and this rose would do very well there I think. Is it possible to propagate this rose. I'm concerned that by the time I get moved (a year or so) Jackson Perkins roses may not be available. Thanks, Vicki |

Hi Kept, I see here what you need all picture about Sunflare rose.. I hope this is can help you... :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sunflare Rose
Thank you Adelinalee. Vicki |
Sunflare was introduced in 1981, which means the patent expired in 2001. Please go for it, and help keep this excellent cultivar alive. |
Thanks you Nastarana. Your are so right. Here in the St Louis area the humidity makes it very difficult to grow roses but Sunflare is nothing but pure pleasure! |

Raid Rx: Really cool Coliseum healing loot {WoW}
Sep 9th 2009 2:31AM For the Horde out there, the stats are the same, even though the name of the item is not. The item also drops of the same boss.
Besides that, this is not a gear bible. Don't go out there and just blindly pick up these pieces. Upgrades depend on the stats you have already, and how a new gear piece fits into that.
And yes, as a disc priest, a bit less haste, and a bit more crit/mp5 would've been nice. Oh well, better in Icecrown Citadel I guess.
Breakfast Topic: If you could add one new feature {WoW}
Jun 3rd 2009 9:41AM A weekend and a week raiding guild?
Spiritual Guidance: Healing Mimiron {WoW}
Jun 1st 2009 12:50PM Matt preaches what he practices. When he was holy himself disc priests were not too special, and got little to no attention. In fact, the little disc priest advice given out back then was often slightly off.
I also guess that he hasn't worked with a pallie tank on this fight either, since in the pretty list of Plasma Blast damage negating abilities I don't see divine protection.
It's hard to write about abilities of classes/specs you don't play yourself, which is why I guess they have a shadow priest column separately. Maybe it's time to have a holy priest and a disc priest column separately as well.
PopCap's addons are obfuscated, Blizzard is OK with that {WoW}
May 5th 2009 6:10AM The reason for the rule is to protect the game. Blizz has followed the reason for the rule, and protected the game.
"That there is a rule, doesn't mean you can stop thinking now"
The original of that is Dutch:
"Een wet, is nog geen reden om niet meer na te denken"

Loot, rationality, and the Sunwell effect, part II {WoW}
Apr 28th 2009 7:15AM One of the points is easily solved.
5 man
10 man
20 man
I still don't see why the extra 5 have to be in there to make it 25 man.
Priest T8 set bonuses clarified {WoW}
Mar 20th 2009 4:39PM < disc priest = squealing in glee
The Colosseum: Infractus the Flawless Victor {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 3:10AM "Infractus: Healers are still very strong, people have just become too accustomed to healers being able to tank DPS just by spam healing. Granted, if you don't have a lot of Resilience as a healer you run the risk of getting gibbed."
This says that to get that resilience the healer has to go through "getting gibbed" many times before having enough resilience of it to be viable.
That to me says broken.
Countdown to Wrath Giveaway: Day 5 - Papa Hummel's Pet Biscuit loot card {WoW}
Nov 8th 2008 1:31PM Wooot!
Select Priest glyphs changed in latest beta push {WoW}
Aug 15th 2008 8:11AM Glyphs can be switched as often as you want, it's going to depend on price how often you want to switch.
Your mind flay doesn't change if you don't want it to, blizz just makes us chose between range and snare.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 3
Posted By: JoanDate: April-05, 1998 at 11:50:27
In Response To: Iodine Test (Armchair Nutritionist)
As a kid, tincture of Iodine was the standard antiseptic. (Yup, I'm that old.) I must have painted myself with areas larger than silver dollars on knees and elbows on several occasions. If one 'silver dollar' is an adult's 24 hr dose, then what dosage was I giving myself at the age of six and half an adult weight?I used to DRAW on myself with the stuff when I could sneak it out of the cabinet.
Now I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and am reluctant to try the test.
It's Interesting!!!

If simple life adjustments that yield a more efficient lifestyle sound appealing to you, this eco-friendly heater by Andriano Design is a noteworthy contraption. The Thermostack heating and cooking systems by Adriano Design are sleek, ceramic containers that warm your home, add an aesthetically pleasing focal point, and serve as a customizable cooktop. This system burns wood for fuel, which is both clean burning as well as a classic touch. Talk about two birds with one stone. Adriano Designs's thermostack is a compact modern take on a very traditional concept.
Any time a product can simplify or enhance everyday needs I am impressed; and when a product can do this while being environmentally conscious, I'm trilled! Heating your home with clean burning wood while you cook your meals is a noteworthy aspect of this design which make it all the more appealing.

some time after 5 o'clock, the air so humid the light was made soft...checked the bushes yet again for butterflies (they kept leaving when i showed up)...ah, there's four tonight, woo-hoo!
get to the bushes, of course the monarch and the black swallowtail see me and take off, but, the two yellow swallowtails stayed
they looked different, one had just a small spot of blue, made me wonder if females might not be as colorful...anyhoo, at one point they began dancin', or fighting...very pretty but i couldn't catch it, flittin' around thru the bushes as they were and me havin' to, at the same time, watch where i put my feet darndogs...i kept tryin' to get them both in the same photo only they wouldn't sit still long enough...was pleased when i saw this image :o)

Traditional London Pubs
At these historic London pubs you can enjoy a drink in traditional surroundings, often with a bit of local legend thrown in for good measure. Cheers!
The Ship Tavern
12 Gate Street, Holborn, WC2A 3HP [map]
Concealed between the busy Kingsway and the serene Lincoln's Inn Fields "The Oak Room" located above The Ship Tavern public house (est. 1549) exudes charm and warmth. Antique paintings, books and…
Cittie Of Yorke
22 High Holborn, King's Cross, WC1V 6BN [map]
A unique London pub, the Cittie of Yorke is a Grade II listed building full of nooks and crannies. Step into the dark, panelled front bar and make your way through to the great hall at the rear. Take note of the fire in the middle of the room. It has no chimney. Instead, its flue is diverted underground and out of a pipe on the wall.
The Dog & Duck
18 Bateman Street, Soho, W1D 3AJ [map]
The Dog and Duck is housed in a Grade II listed building in the heart of Soho. The well-preserved Victorian décor provides all the atmosphere you would expect in a historic London pub. Tiles and mirrors line the ornate interior and there is a small bar upstairs that's perfect for people-watching in the street below.
The George Inn
77 Borough High Street, Borough, SE1 1NH [map]
The only remaining galleried coaching inn in London, The George now belongs to the National Trust. This London pub can be traced back to 1542, although an inn probably stood on the spot even earlier. Shakespeare lived and worked in Southwark, so it's likely that he'd have been one of its patrons; he may even have played there.
Lamb & Flag
33 Rose Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 9EB [map]
A historic pub in London's vibrant Covent Garden, the Lamb & Flag was a favourite watering hole of Charles Dickens.
The Melton Mowbray
18 Holborn, The City, EC1N 2LE [map]
A traditional English pub with true British specialities, The Melton Mowbray is a classic Fuller's Ale & Pie house. The Melton Mowbray specialises in excellent home-cooked pies and English pub…
The Punch Tavern
99 Fleet Street, EC4Y 1DE [map]
A short walk from some of London's best attractions. The entrance is small but has a unique (Grade II Historic Listing) tiled floor and walls, ordained with 6ft mirrors and hand paintings of Punch…
The Spaniard's Inn
Spaniards Road, Hampstead, NW3 7JJ [map]
The Spaniards in Hampstead dates from around 1585 and remains full of fascinating features. Some say Dick Turpin watched carriages go by from this legendary inn as he waited to rob them, while others talk about Keats, Shelly and Byron writing over a claret or two, and Charles Dickens including the pub in his Pickwick Papers novel.
Trafalgar Tavern
Park Row, Greenwich, SE10 9NW [map]
Greenwich is home to some of London's best attractions, including the Trafalgar Tavern, a riverside pub built circa 1837.
The French House
French Restaurant
49 Dean Street, London Chinatown, W1D 5BG [map]
The French House in Soho started life as a gin parlour in the mid-19th century, but had become a wine bar by 1914. In the Second World War, the bar was taken over by Charles de Gaulle and his French forces, providing the nickname "the French pub". It's now a bohemian hangout where TV, recorded music and mobile phones are banned.
Anchor Bankside
34 Park Street, Southwark, SE1 9EF [map]
The Anchor was originally built in 1615 but today serves classic British fare, seven days a week; and has a terrace bar overlooking the river Thames.
The Eagle
2 Shepherdess Walk, Islington, N1 7LB [map]
The Eagle is one of London's oldest pubs and retains many original features. There's a menu of British dishes, from fish finger sandwiches to Sunday roasts, and a lovely beer garden. The pub even makes an appearance in a nursery rhyme: "Up and down the City Road, in and out The Eagle. That's where the money goes, pop goes the weasel!"
The Grapes
76 Narrow Street, Poplar, E14 8BP [map]
The Grapes has oodles of Victorian charm. Food is served in the upstairs dining room, from which you can make the most of river views.
The Jerusalem Tavern
British Restaurant
55 Britton Street, Clerkenwell, EC1M 5UQ [map]
The Jerusalem Tavern is a pub that serves a variety of hot dishes, snacks and vegetarian dishes and can cater for private parties of up to 40 people. Seating on the pavement area is provided.
The Lamb
94-98 Lambs Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, WC1N 3LZ [map]
Both this London pub and the street it's on take the name of philanthropist William Lamb. The Lamb was built in the early 18th century, improved in Victorian times and remains a popular pub to this day. The bar features Victorian remnants including rare snob screens, which would once have hidden a drinker's identity at the bar.
Prospect Of Whitby
57 Wapping Wall, Wapping, E1W 3SH [map]
The Prospect of Whitby is London's oldest riverside pub dating back to 1520. The pub was a notorious haunt for smugglers, thieves and pirates. Other notable customers include Charles Dickens, Samuel…
The Salisbury
90 St Martins Lane, Covent Garden, WC2N 4AP [map]
The Salisbury has original etched glass and hand carved mahogany. The pub has been used in films such as 'Victim', 'Travels With My Aunt' and 'The Boat That Rocked'. With our friendly team ready to…
The Ship & Shovell
1-3 Craven Passage, Charing Cross, WC2N 5PH [map]
Hall & Woodhouse started brewing beer in 1777, and have a number of Pubs located across Great Britain
The Ten Bells
84 Commercial Road, Spitalfields, E1 6LY [map]
The Ten Bells is a pub that serves a variety of beers, wines and spirits as selection of pub snacks.

First-team coach Wayne Burnett admitted Dagenham's recent travelling significantly attributed to their 2-1 defeat at Morecambe.
The Daggers played their fifth game in 14 days at the Globe Arena, with the last three of those successive away trips to Northampton, Accrington and then Morecambe.
Brian Woodall volleyed Dagenham into the lead after six minutes, but two second-half goals from Jordan Burrow and Andy Parrish snatched victory for the hosts.
Burnett said: "We have had a busy Christmas and were at Accrington at the weekend and I think the long journeys certainly had an effect. We looked jaded at the end and I think the miles caught up with us.
"We started well and looked comfortable after taking the lead. Our keeper (Chris Lewington) produced a couple of superb saves but they put pressure on us in the second half and despite the best efforts of the lads we couldn't hold on.
"There was no lack of effort but it was a heavy pitch and it certainly had an effect in the end."

Hyundai pulls out of all motorsports in North America
Following word from Rhys Millen Racing that its main sponsor, Hyundai, is withdrawing support from its Formula Drift and Global RallyCross Championship campaigns, the Korean automaker has confirmed to Autoblog that it is ceasing all motorsports support programs in North America.
With Hyundai building sales and financial momentum not just in NA but in virtually all markets in which it competes, the timing of the pullout from racing seems curious, but Hyundai reportedly wants to focus on new marketing strategies. Hyundai never really attempted to crack mainline motorsports series here in North America like NASCAR or IndyCar, instead preferring to get a toehold in racing via edgier (and less costly) extreme-sports-style forms of competition like rallycross, hillclimbs and drifting.
Millen's operation says it is looking for new sponsors and partners for next season, but Hyundai's support of the team will evidently remain until the conclusion of its 2012 seasons.
Hyundai will continue motorsports programs elsewhere in the world – indeed, is debuting a new i20 racecar concept at today's Paris Motor Show with which it plans to return to the World Rally Championship, a series it exited back in 2003.

JandY is a ministry team of John and Ynita Swomley. John is a full-time youth evangelist and speaker. Prior to full-time ministry, which began 4 years ago, John and Ynita were family entertainers. JandY has taken their abilities and combined them with their passion to reach the youth whose culture changes constantly with the Truth that never changes. Their passion is to teach Biblical Creation and to answer tough questions that the youth have. "Edutainment" is used to accomplish this with age appropriate sessions that captivate the minds and hearts of the youth. They use gospel illusions, balloon bending, puppets, comedy skits and more to teach the students. They are members of First Baptist Church in Inwood, WV where they have served for more than 25 years. Ynita is the Outreach Ministry Coordinator for their church and their former church secretary. Her passion is for the community. She believes we need to love God, love others and to serve them both. They both have a desire to share the Gospel, to strengthen the students faith and bring Biblical understanding to topics that the world has caused the students to question.
