The excitable Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) shows off his shiny new metal claws in the disappointing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." (Marvel)
How do you make mutants dull? They bend, they bounce, they fly, laser beams come out of their eyes, they can twist metal with their minds. You want these people at a party on a Friday night.
But somehow Hollywood has managed to make mutants seem thoroughly commonplace and uninteresting in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Instead of offering the mutant concept as witty and exotic commentary on prejudice and individuality -- as it was with varying degrees of success in the first three "X-Men" movies -- this film uses its characters as obvious pawns in a money-grab. It's not so much a film as a franchise launch, and it has all the soul of a cereal commercial.
The resultant chilliness undermines what's supposed to be the over-ruling characteristic of its protagonist: His passion. At no time do you believe anyone in this movie is feeling anything. At all times you suspect concerns about roles in future sequels are lurking in the back of their mutant minds.
And there are many mutant minds here. The story whips through what should be a fascinating assortment of super-powered folks. But director Gavin Hood ("Tsotsi") and screenwriters David Benioff and Skip Woods never develop any of these characters. They are literally there for face (and power) value.
Add to this the near-absence of humor -- and self-deflating humor has always been a major factor in both the "X-Men" movies and the world of Marvel comics -- and you have a surprisingly dull grab-bag of old-fashioned sibling rivalry, broken-hearted revenge motives and pre-packaged action-figure fight sequences that's lacking in excitement, emotion or meaning.
In other words -- dudes, you blew it.
Hugh Jackman returns in what has been his only successful film role, that of Wolverine. We first meet James Logan in 1845, following a messy bit of family business that sets James and his big brother Victor (Liev Schreiber) on the run. Gifted with similar mutant powers -- they're both near-invulnerable, and Victor has really ugly fingernails that rival his younger brother's retractable claws -- the two decide to go to war for the next 150 years.
But when they're recruited by Col. Striker (Danny Huston) for an elite mutant commando force, things change. Victor gets kill-happy and Logan tires of reining him in. The brothers split ways.
Flash forward six years and Logan is living in a lovely mountain cabin with lovely Kayla Silverfox (Lynn Collins). But of course his past -- in the guise of Victor and Col. Striker -- comes back to haunt him.
Eventually, Logan begins bouncing from mutant to mutant (the Blob, Gambit, John Wraith, Agent Zero) in a quest for revenge.
The storyline does fit nicely with the X-Men movie mythology that's been developed so far -- Logan's amnesia and metallic body are explained -- but a nice fit does not a good film make.
How dumb is this movie? Pitch-perfect deliveryman Ryan Reynolds plays Wade, one of the original commandos, a sword-wielding, wisecracking one-man army, and as the film begins, you figure he's exactly the lift it's going to need to keep things from getting too pretentious or dull.
Wade has a couple of good scenes, maybe 10 lines, and then he doesn't say a thing for the next couple of hours.
Yeah, good use of Ryan Reynolds.
Marvel obviously sees "X-Men" as a huge ongoing franchise, and the source material is certainly rich enough. But whoever becomes the focus of the next film -- could be Gambit (Taylor Kitsch), could be Reynolds -- is going to need a better script and a better director to get things back on track.
The X-Men concept works because at heart the super-freaks involved are indeed men. They laugh, they feel, they have developed personalities.
The characters in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" are freaky plastic soldiers being sent off to do battle at the box office. America to Marvel: Give us back our mutants.

I've seen them with the dead leaves trimmed, and I've seen them with dry skirts of leaves. Is there a consensus regarding best presentation? Mine is in a pot, if that makes any difference. Seems like those I've seen in the ground have the skirts of dry leaves. What are your thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kim, this is a very good point, not just for Alcants. For the big terrestrial broms in pots I prefer the clean look to avoid the nasty critters than inhabit the leaf bases. Potted = clean. In ground = unkempt. Did you see some at the show that caused you to ponder? I was going to ask who prefers the clean or unkempt look for all their plants. Some Tills can be cleaned no problem, while others lose years of regal old growth that adds so much character. |
- Posted by kerry_t_australia 9 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 28, 08 at 18:28
Hey Kim, Firstly, thanks for your photos of the recent show you attended :) Re presentation of the alcantareas, or any other broms, I think it boils down to personal choice. If it's for an official show - I don't know what the regulations are. Cheers, |
Nothing to do with the show, Gonzer, I was just potting up my own plant from a broken, tippy, too-small pot to something larger, broader, sturdier when the question came to me. But you know, the Prado restaurant in Balboa Park always has an impressive potted Alcantarea just at the entrance. It's in a gigantic Chinese glazed pot, with a few other plants around its base, and it makes a stunning statement. It has perfect form, is kept neatly trimmed, and shows off that incredible blue-green color with some burgundy tipping. Also I've seen plants in my neighborhood planted outdoors on a slope in full sun, with that nice deep red color, and the dry leaves left on them. They also looked great. I've always kept mine trimmed. It was in a black nursery pot (splitting) inside a larger clay pot. I don't recommend this arrangement -- I removed more than one kind of "nasty critter" from between the pots, ugh. Anyway, I have a couple of dead leaves I was going to trim, then I thought I'd ask the question first. Also, is there any recommended method for the trimming? I was cutting off what I could easily reach, not all the way to the base, but I think this holds too much water, promoting an unpleasant sliminess, and I was going to clean them all the way to the base. Comments? |
Does anyone else have the problem of the lowest remaining leaves on Alcantareas turning brown and dying back as soon as you cut off the skirt of dead ones? I used to try to keep them trimmed up, but as soon as I did that the next leaves up would turn brown, and as soon as I'd remove those the next ones would go, and so on, leaving me with an ever-shrinking rosette. Not a good look! |
- Posted by kerry_t_australia 9 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 28, 08 at 21:04
Hmmm...that's interesting Lisa, and unfortunate for you! Maybe something to do with your constant heat and humidity? That doesn't happen to my alcantareas when I cut the old bottom brown leaves off. The new bottom leaves might droop without the support of any lower ones - sometimes a good effect, other times a bit ugly if asymmetrical - but they hold their colour and health, and don't go brown until their usual demise. K |
- Posted by hotdiggetydam (My Page) on Mon, Sep 29, 08 at 12:13
Lisa are you also getting a set of new leaves everytime you trim the dead ones? I would think your climate would produce faster growth rates |
HDD, no, not that quickly. I'm talking a matter of just a few days after I'd cut off the lower leaves, the next ones would turn brown. If I kept doing that I'd be down to nothing within a couple of months! I'm not really growing them anymore, though. This was a while back. |

How to Start A Singing Career
Have you ever dreamed of pursuing singing as a career? Lots of talented men and women have what it takes to become the next big thing, but they don't always know how to get from point A to point B when it comes to breaking in the industry. If you have ever wondered how to start a singing career, look no further. Many budding artists rely on the help of talent marketing companies, to help market their gift and provide access to entertainment industry professionals. Top talent marketing company InterFACE even offers their clients the chance to take a professional photo shoot that will result in top quality headshots that can be marketed directly to talent agents and managers.
If you're wondering which genre would bring you the most success, it is important to determine what type of music is best for you as a singer. Attending vocal classes or training can help you discover your vocal range; women could be an alto or soprano, while men could be a tenor, baritone, or bass.. Depending on the depth of your voice, you may be better suited for a certain style of music. Once you know your abilities, it will be easier to find your niche and market yourself as an artist.
Aspiring singers shouldn't be afraid to look to their idols as inspiration. Create a list of your favorite vocalists, and try to think about what you like most about them. Is it their style? Do they sing ballads or pop party songs? Decide which of these attributes would suit you should you pursue your music career. Singers should also raid their personal music collection, and study other vocalists and recordings to learn and practice different styles. Go through your CDs and mp3s, and make a note of the songs you enjoy singing the most. Is there a commonality between them? Perhaps this is the genre you are best suited for.
Singing careers are not built overnight, so it is important for vocalists to take voice lessons, practice songs in their vocal range, and find ways to make an industry impact that will hopefully be noticed by talent agents and record labels. Talent agents are a key part of a successful vocalist's career, as they help to guide the singers' career and notify them of industry opportunities that can enhance their career.
If you are wondering how to get a singing career in today's competitive market, improve your odds by enlisting the help of a talent marketing company, who can help you build the tools you need to work towards your singing goals.

Those without a loved one to share Valentine's Day have more in common with the tradition of sending Valentine's Day cards than those with a lover.
I thought the Victorians began the tradition with their sentimental, flowery, lacy, and cupid adorned cards:
The couple meets at a soiree where the fine lady's heart beats like a caged canary. The gentleman wears gloves and even with them worries he'll leave a thumbprint on the greeting card. He escorts her to a small chamber not far from the ballroom. Her cheeks flush with the touch of his warm hand on her back. It sends a thrill of which she is not accustomed. He pulls the declaration of love from his breast pocket and presents it with a bow. She smiles, rips it open and gasps when she sees two naked cupids complete with jiggly bits dancing in the sky. Underneath are the words "Be My Lover." She drops the card and trounces from the room.
And that is when the gentleman became acquainted with the florist's establishment around the corner which he frequented in years to come.
Sending cards began more than 400 years earlier with a French romantic poet, of course! It did not begin with the uptight Victorians, but the English had their part in history.
The French nobleman, Charles I de Valois, Duke of Orleans fought against the English and became trapped in his own armor. (How does that happen? "Help me! I've fallen and I can't get up!) In 1415, he took up residence as a prisoner in the Tower of London. Continue reading

Canines 101
By Landon Kirk | Added April 13
We are frequently asked about our canine program. Common inquiries are, Why dogs and not horses or something else? Will you have other animals? My child has their own dog [or cat] at home, cant we just send that one? Dont canines get in the way of human relationships? Let me take a couple of minutes to highlight our canine program which will answer these common questions. Students struggling with boundaries, self-awareness, emotional hurt, and lack of empathy benefit from caring for animals. Animals which are effective at regulating and healing such issues include horses, chimpanzees, monkeys apes, dolphins, and, you guessed it, canines. Primary reasons we have canines at Calo include: Teachersthere are few coaches, school teachers, or therapists at Calo, amazing as they are, who are able to teach certain lessons as well as the canines. Our goldens are the best teachers to our students about our model. Students know they need to feed, water, and physically care for canines despite how they are feeling in the moment (Trust of Care). Our students also know that if they do not discipline and train their canine they will not be able to attach to or gain the respect of their canine (Trust of Control). Students also find incredible satisfaction in helping their canine reach the point of self-regulation (Trust of Self) without repeated prompts or interventions. Our canines do an amazing job of consistently responding with love in the relationship (Interdependence). These amazing golden retrievers show unconditional love and forgiveness to our students; attacking their negative core beliefs and self-worth. Accessibleunlike horses, monkeys or dolphins, canines are easily accessible during ups and downs. Recently a student left her therapy session and immediately sought out a canine in the milieu and was able to take the canine with her to school. The canine, due to being so easily accessible, provided incredible response time and regulating ability for this young woman. There are numerous other times in which students, thanks to the accessibility and companionship with canines, are able to deepen such relationships. RegulatingIt has actually been proven through research that canines have a calming effect on humans. Humans holding, petting or simply remaining in close proximity to canines are helped with such issues as anxiety, depression, and heart-rate. A parent recently sent us an article about the impact canines are having with war veterans struggling with trauma and PTSD: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/us/04dogs.html?emc=eta1 DomesticDue to mood regulation, trauma, and attachment being common issues among our students, allowing students to bond with a canine in treatment with an opportunity to leave Calo with their canine prevents feelings of abandonment, rejection, low-self worth, and shame. We love when students are able to finalize their adoption with a canine as ownership of the canine at that point belongs to the student and not Calo. This further provides therapeutic insights and opportunity which are similar to their own experiences. Physicalunlike other animals, golden retrievers are the perfect size to hold, touch, pet, and cuddle with in good times and in bad. Golden retrievers have been known to be perpetual puppies because they are child-like for so longfurther providing a metaphor for students that they, much like their parents and adults do for them, need to discipline and help regulate. Transferable the student-canine relationship provides easy access to the students other relationships, particularly the students relationship with his/her parents or attachment figures. Effective parents, staff and peers are able to highlight similarities -- "I notice you are sometimes passive in caring for your canine. This is how I have felt a at times being around you. "Johnny, at times I have noticed you are a bit to harsh or rough in disciplining your canine. Is there any correlation to how you were treated and how you treat your canine?" "You really seem to know your canine will love you no matter what. Do you know your parents feel the same way about you? These transferable insights are a catalyst for change and remind us how precious and amazing these canines are.

Live Nation to stage Wireless, Hard Rock Calling at Olympic Park
Live Nation is to host a number of live music events at the Olympic Park this summer, including the Wireless and Hard Rock Calling festivals.
Both of the London festivals have previously taken place in Hyde Park. However, following complaints about sound levels within the park as well as an issue with tendering, Live Nation pulled out of a bid to secure a further contract with The Royal Parks, promising they had found an alternative venue.
That venue was today revealed to be the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, situated in Stratford, East London, and home to last summer's Olympic Games. London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) handed Live Nation the Olympic Park contract. The LLDC is responsible for future use of the Olympic Park and its venues.
Speaking about the move from Hyde Park to the Olympic Park, Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "The confidence now shown by one of the world's leading live entertainment promoters to relocate two of its biggest music festivals from the centre of the capital is a ringing endorsement of our legacy plans. Along with the other major international sports events we have already secured this latest news proves that the park has a very bright future indeed."
John Reid, President of Concerts at Live Nation Europe, said: "We are delighted to be staging music concerts at the London Olympics venue, which last year became a globally recognized site for outstanding performances – both in sport and music. Over the coming weeks, we intend to announce some major concerts with world-renowned artists, to firmly establish the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as the centerpiece for great live music in Europe."
Meanwhile, news of the planned events has been welcomed by major sponsors such as Hard Rock. "Our Hard Rock venues around the world showcase more than 20,000 live music events a year," said Hamish Dodds, President and Chief Executive of Hard Rock. "Over the last seven years, our flagship Hard Rock Calling concerts in London have achieved global recognition and we look forward to activating our new location in the Olympic Park in collaboration with the Mayor¹s office and Live Nation."
Many fans were left angry and upset after attending musical concerts in Hyde Park last year with Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney being kicked off stage after running over time and Blur fans complaining of poor volume levels during the band's gig there in August. Rival events organisers AEG have taken up the Royal Parks contract and will continue to stage concerts in central London.

Wonderful mattress pad that fits my oversize mattress with room to spare. It's so soft and comfortable thanks to the pima cotton that I love. I paid much more for a similar cover for another bed. This is a great value.
These are possibly seconds as after the first week, I washed it and as I was putting it back on the bed, the side ripped. I have now sent it back for a refund, disappointing as I have had some wonderful merchandise from Overstock.com I will not let this faze me from buying from them in the future.
It was a cotton top as advertised (everything else was acrylic I think) but the fabric was so coarse and cheap that the ratty old one I had on the bed was better so I sent it back. Note: I paid twice as much for the one I finally got which is entirely cotton including the batting. Lesson: You get what you pay for.
This mattress pad is a perfect for my queen size bed. It is deep enough and stays in place.
When looking for a mattress pad for our new king-sized bed, I wasn't about to pay $80. As always, I turned to o.com and started looking. I depend on reviews almost more than anything else, and this product got very good ones. I am not disappointed; fits well, a bit of padding for comfort, and, as always, a great price!
If you are in the market for a basic cover, this is fine. It has held up well and we have had it now for a while. Wash in delicate.
It's amazing what a difference the mattress pad makes. a much smoother sleep.
This Plush mattress pad fits my twelve inch pillow top mattress very well and the elastic makes it a firm fitting cover, it doesn't ride up and off the mattress. It also has just enough padding in it to make it feel like the more expensive pads on the market. I've been sleeping on it for over 3 weeks and I would recommend this product to everyone.
Wonderful quality mattress pad, have had it for a while and it still looks like new. Great deal too.
I ordered the California King size Croscill pad. I searched all over for this exact thing to replace my existing pad that had done years of faithful service and needed replacing. Overstock was BY FAR the best price for the item and offered very very low shipping cost so I was delighted to find exactly what I wanted at an incredibly low price. It came really fast, is just as described and SO thick and puffy and comfortable. I would recommend this pad to anyone, whatever size you order. It is cut very generously and the wide elasticated sides guarantee a perfect fit. I'm going to buy myself a spare in case they stop making it!

Police looking for man who committed indecent actBy: Matt Durnan | Posted: Thursday, Jun 26, 2014 11:13 am Airdrie RCMP is seeking the assistance of the public in identifying a man who committed an indecent act at Airdrie Walmart on June 16. At 1:15 p.m. on June 16, a member of the public reportedly witnessed a man performing an indecent act in the menswear department inside the store. The citizen informed Walmart staff of the man, and the staff called the police. When Airdrie RCMP arrived on scene, the man had left the store. This is the second report of an indecent act on Walmart property in the last month. On May 17, Airdrie RCMP responded to reports of a man committing an indecent act in the store�s parking lot. According to RCMP, both incidents are being investigated. �We�re not sure right now if these two incidents are linked or if it�s the same person,� said Cst. Jason Curtis with the Airdrie RCMP. Surveillance cameras in the store captured images of the man suspected in the June 16 incident, though police are not able to publish them at this time. �The cameras didn�t actually catch this suspect in the act, so we can�t publish his photo,� said Curtis. The suspect is described as a man with dark skin, around 6�2� tall with medium length hair and was seen wearing a blue shirt and dark green dress pants. If you have information on this or any unsolved crime, contact the Airdrie RCMP at 403-945-7200. Comments

We've had a second baby boom of sorts here at the farm lately. It's the time of year where we're happy to let the birds sit on eggs and hatch out their own broods. By this time of year, the incubator is silent, unless I'm hatching out a few quail or peafowl. We collect the turkey eggs all spring & early summer for two reasons- #1 if you take the eggs, the hens will lay more and #2 not all hens will sit the full 28 days necessary to hatch out the chicks (21 days for chickens, but the same two rules apply).
It's actually pretty unusual to have birds that hatch their own young. Mothering instinct has been bred out of virtually all livestock breeds these days. While it sounds unbelievable that animals don't know how to raise their own young, it's true, because the demands of modern agriculture often are at odds with nature's instinct. A broody hen will peck at you and draw blood to defend her clutch if she's ready to hatch a brood. This is a royal pain if you're a farmer making a living selling eggs. Likewise, if you're selling milk, you'll be taking the calf away from mama and bottle feeding it while milking the cow and selling the milk. You don't want the cow lowering her head and charging you to keep you away from her calf. It's much easier if she doesn't mind that it is gone. Both situations actively encourage breeding that protective mothering instinct out of the animals.
Fortunately, because heritage breeds of livestock have been largely left alone by modern agriculture, they retain that instinct. When my mom came to visit, she came in from the backyard and told me she'd found our "secret chicken". It was one of our Golden Phoenix hens, tucked away in a patch of iris leaves, sitting on her nest. We've had these hens hatch chicks before, so we let her go to see what would happen. Last week, the chicks did hatch. Turns out she was sitting on a full dozen eggs, and of those, she successfully hatched out 11 chicks! That would be a great hatch rate even in the digitally controlled incubator. Of course, that is only the first half of the mothering equation. Next, mama bird has to protect her little chicken nuggets from cats and other hungry critters, show them how to forage, and protect them from the elements. If mama chicken still had 8 right now, I'd say it was a huge success. But, incredibly, she still has ALL 11, well over a week later! The chicks are hardier than the ones we have in the brooder pen, too...we've seen them soaking wet after a thunderstorm, which could be fatal, but they run around like nothing's wrong, with no heat lamp to huddle under. Chicks in the brooder are kept warm and given unlimited fresh food & water, but these little buggers out there are hardier, smarter, and I even think they grow more quickly. What a difference a parent makes!
It's magic to watch the hen at work, too. She makes sure to go slowly enough that the kids can keep up, and clucks softly to let them know where she is at all times. She'll fluff up her body and extend her wings just enough that the chicks can hide from the weather under her. It's simply amazing to watch 11 tiny birds disappear like that...mama doesn't seem big enough to protect them all, but she does somehow. And she is fierce about protecting her young. As the bringer of food, she doesn't mind me so much, but she keeps a watchful eye on everything else. Yesterday, I was doing chores, and the cows came out of the barn to see if they could get some delicious chicken food. Mama hen and her brood were in the same part of the barnyard. One of the yearling cows, Ling Ling, must have walked through the area where the chicks were, because the next thing I saw was mama hen attacking the cow much like a rooster would do. In this chicken vs. cow fight, there was a crystal-clear winner. Ling Ling ran for the barn while the hen stood her ground and collected her young. I laughed pretty hard!
But our Phoenix isn't the only one with a brood these days. Dan had found a Bourbon Red turkey hen had made a nest behind the shop amongst the machinery. I went to look for her after putting the horses in the barn Monday morning, but found only a few feathers and broken shells. I looked for the hen, but she was no where to be found. But as I was doing evening chores, I saw a lone turkey in that general area, near the creek. The grass is kind of high along the bank, but as I watched, I counted four little poults, foraging for bugs with mom. We're hoping she has as much maternal instinct as the Phoenix hen!

Space Ninja's been updated to version 1.776 (ha!), bringing in four-player multiplayer on a single device, in a system not unlike that used in SlotZ Racer. In addition, the price has been dropped to 99 cents for the weekend.
iDodge: Space Ninja now stands at version 22.214.171.124 (get it?!). The developer's added 83 new levels (a 200% increase over the original 40), global and local high scores via Geocade, and five new kinds of enemies. Plus, the game's back down to 99 cents. If you haven't tried it yet and you've got a buck to spare, take a look.
Space Ninja, one of our favorite top-down shooters, is free for "a couple of hours" this afternoon. If you haven't been able to spare the $1.99, now is the time to act! Just make sure you hurry, because the price will be going back up soon.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. A really good steak doesn't need anything other than some salt, for instance. We think games are the same way. Sure, you can overcook the meat, or use a poor quality cut of beef, but if you do it right there's nothing better. We feel the same way about Space Ninja, a stripped-down flying game that nails the details and kept us hooked for hours. Even if you're a vegetarian, Space Ninja is a great game.
Your screen is in portrait mode, bereft of anything other than two buttons at the bottom, one for the Menu and one to access your Items. The spaceship is delicate but nimble, flying upwards towards the finish line while avoiding a host of fatal objects, all atop a series of backgrounds that call to mind some of the grander Hubble Telescope images. Tilting your iDevice steers you around, and the clever in-game calibration option means you can continually adjust your angle.
You'll need it, because finding the balance between full-tilt and subtle steering speed is rather difficult and quite important. The screen is littered with mines and missiles and other lethal items that will kill you instantly. Fear not, though, for there are forces for good in Space Ninja, and every now and again the little green plus signs dole out shields or neutron bombs or missile repellents that help to keep you alive.
That's really it. So what, you may ask, is so special about a vertically scrolling spaceship that has nothing to do with ninjas at all?
Space Ninja's secret weapon is what truly sets this game apart–slow motion. Touching the screen slows time to Matrix-bullet-dodging speed. It's truly beautifully done. As you press the screen, you also zoom in on your spaceship, and the game objects look fantastic up close. The graphics really excel here, scaling perfectly as the tempo decelerates, and your ship responds wonderfully while slowed.
Mastering this bullet-time ballet is absolutely necessary to complete the increasingly difficult missions. There are 40 of these levels, each unlocking the next, and five substantially longer Challenges that are immediately playable. Space Ninja isn't easy to immediately excel at, and the controls and game require a rather steep learning curve for the App Store. Sticking around for a few tries, though, will probably be enough to get you hooked, and you'll need that practice once you get to the ridiculously harder courses later on.
The fit and finish here are top notch. The game loads quickly, restarts levels immediately, and has yet to freeze or evidence a glitch. The menus and option screens are, like everything else, simply and beautifully done. We would like a few more options, though: the music, while cheerfully scored in a polyphonic type way, gets repetitive, and a difficulty setting would mitigate an awful lot of frustration. However, the little touches–Futurama fans should keep an eye out for one power-up in particular–and the sense of humor (the big FAIL screen after death) really shine here.
Even if you're not into certain cartoons or internet memes, the $3.99 Space Ninja is a great value and a must have for your iDevice.

4th of July
Here's something for the 4th of July
+ Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and
tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had
two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were
farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships
swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties
to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and
his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and
poverty was his reward.
At the battle of Yorktown, the British General Cornwallis had taken
over the home of Thomas Nelson, Jr. for his headquarters. He quietly
urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13
children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to
waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home
to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he
died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These
were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men
of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support
of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine
providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor."
You might want to take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July
holiday this year and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to
ask.considering the price they paid. Remember: freedom is never free!
And the blood of many patriots was spilled over the past 200 years.

Toshiba Corporation today announced the launch of its second generation HD DVD players in the Japanese market. The company will roll out two new players, HD-XF2 and HD-XA2, in late December. The new HD DVD players are smaller and offer improved speed in loading and response times over the HD-XA1, the world's first HD DVD player, brought to market by Toshiba in March 2006. The new high-end HD-XA2 supports Deep Color technology, an optional standard under HDMI that improves representation of color tones and achieves finer color gradation. HD-XA2 also provides support for the superior high-definition images of 1080p output. Both players offer advanced navigation and interactive features unique to the HD DVD format. A Picture in Picture (PIP) function includes the ability to play supplementary video over the main program, allowing viewers to watch bonus content, such as a superimposed director's commentary or a documentary about the making of the movie while the movie plays. The players' pop-up menu displays movie chapters with thumbnails while the movie plays, and allows users to navigate menu features without pausing playback. The new players deliver the clarity and realism of advanced surround-sound formats, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD, and also support linear PCM 5.1ch audio. Up-conversion of standard DVD to a resolution of 1080i or 720p (1080p for HD-XA2) through an HDCP-capable HDMI output allows viewers to enjoy their current DVD libraries with an output resolution scaled to match the resolution of their HDTV or HD displays.

We went to the fabricator this morning to approve our slabs (Organic White) and see the layout of the templates. Had I not read it on GW, I never would have known that even man-made quartz such as Ceasarstone could have noticeable defects/inclusions. One of our two slabs of white had a prominent black dot! Fortunately, it was easy to work around it, so it won't set us back any, and I do think the fabricator would have avoided the dot whether or not we had seen the slabs, but I'm just glad to know our 10' island will be all-white, and not all-white-with-a-dime-size-black-dot! |

I posted before in a thread below asking for help IDing a tropical hibiscus I was lead to believe was hardy...anyway you growers were a big help and I was wondering if you would have an answer to a new question. The plant this summer and spring had produced large leaves almost the size of a salad plate, but I am noticing now that the new blooms coming out are a lot smaller than they were before, almost the size of a tea cup saucer. I'm just curious if this is normal, for the blooms to shrink so much in size. Since the weather is cooler now I am thinking it may have something to do with it. I'm just more curious than anything. ************************************* Walking around the neighborhood I have spotted a few people with a hibiscus tree with the most amazing flowers. They are blood red and HUGE, about the size of dinner plates. Some of the blooms I have seen are so large that they flop over. Any one know what kind it is? Home owners are never around to ask and the only gardening center we have it HD and I never saw them there. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. |

The gilamat ka-in (skirt) was traditionally woven in Lubuagan, but has become universally used all over Kalinga. Different regions even have their own style. It is usually woven in double threaded plain weave, but some are also single thread. The colours indigo and red symbolise sky and ground - the national colours of Kalinga. The yellow portion is embroidered and depicts mountains. Yellow symbolises wealth, as do the embroidered plants that refer to growth and fertility. A lone coin is attched as a pendant.
The ka-in is wrapped around the waist, and then the undecorated part on top is folded down. Personal belongings are stored in the folded part. The manner in which the ka-in is worn varies regionally. In the north it is worn long, in the south short. In Pasil it is worn with the vent askew.
The main difference between this ka-in and the be-e following below is that the gee string is in perfect condition, while the female counterpart shows strong signs of wear. The be-e was used exclusively for rituals, however, it is obvious that the ka-in was used much more often. Although it is more common in modern times for women to wear traditional attire than men in Kalinga, it is more plausible that the additional wear is due to the ka-in beeing worn continuously for protection against malevalent ancestral spirits. The thousands of lozenge shapes woven into the textile are thought to pacify spirits, since they halt to count the number of elements in the design before continuing on their mission.
In stead of the supplementary weft found on most Kalinga ka-in, in this type of textile the striped pattern is applied by double knitting.
One of the special features of the ka-in is the joins of the pannels that are knotted together in traditional manner of fine Itneg/Gaddang/Kalinga textiles. Normally this knotting is executed in a characteristic twotone or threetone design, but in this case the knotting is in the same colour as the rest of the textile.
This be-e is from the Lubo region of Kalinga, and is dyed with a deep indigo. The diamond twill is in three layers, and extremely tight, verifying that Kalinga textiles rank with Itneg and Gaddang textiles to have the finest weave in the Philippines. The fiber is thought to be Cagayan Valley cotton. Based upon interviews with informants from the region, and comparison with other similar textiles, it is estimated that the textile is at least 100 years old. Although the indigo dye is remarkably dark, this can be explained by the fact that the textile has not been worn often, and probably not washed many times.
It is said that the textile was worn during ritual sacrefices of pigs by an upper class Tinglayan tribe man. A matching ka-in (see item above) was owned by the wife. Similar textiles in cotton and bark fiber are well known, and also exist in white. These have been used for daily wear as well as funerary burrial cloths. The width of the textile is 19cm.
The ends have nine and seven rows of tripple double knits respectively. This aesthetic concept is present in most loin cloths and bark cloths from the region, and manifests itself in the form of supplementary weft, beading or embroidery. The significance of the design is lost history, however it is theorised (based upon Itneg traditional beliefs) that irregularities in the number of lines are signatures of the weaver/maker, and portals for spirits to enter and leave.
Close-up of the diamond twill. The diamonds are about 3,5mm wide.
A quintipple double knit marks the end edges, and a fine knotting decorates the sides and bottoms of the end regions.

The Short course also happens to be located just a pitch and a putt away from the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, one of the most luxurious resort facilities in the Rocky Mountains or anywhere else. The fifty-six rooms at the lodge feature vaulted ceilings, balconies, fireplaces and fine European furnishings accented by maple. You can swim laps in an indoor pool, relax in a whirlpool or rejuvenate with hydrotherapy, watsu therapy or aromatherapy treatments. After playing golf and visiting the spa, you can treat yourself to a continental meal at the Restaurant Picasso, which displays original works by the artist.
Although decidedly partial to Cordillera, I came across two other Vail valley resorts with accommodations and golf close to the same standards. Beaver Creek Resort juxtaposes its ski runs with chalet-style hotels and condominium complexes and a 6,784-yard par-seventy mountainside course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The signature hole is the 457-yard par-four eighteenth, which ascends to an elevated green bordered front and left by Beaver Creek.
Sonnenalp Resort of Vail boasts two hotels in the heart of Vail Village, as well as a 7,059-yard par-seventy-one Jay Morrish-Robert Cupp layout. Located on the southern face near Cordillera's Valley course, Sonnenalp Golf Club consists of a lower nine with relatively level fairways and strategically positioned fairway bunkers that create a parkland feel, and an upper nine that utilizes elevation changes more deftly and less vertiginously than any course in the area.
My growing appetite for golf in the Rockies was further whetted by the news that up to four more designer courses may be built in Vail in the months ahead. The Club at Cordillera will be adding a fourth course, called Summit, to be designed by Jack Nicklaus and located above the Mountain course at an elevation of 9,300 feet. Arnold Palmer has designed a new resort course at Eagle Ranch that will open in July of 2001, a few miles west of Vail. The owners of the Beaver Creek Resort are planning a Tom Fazio resort course and possibly a Greg Norman private course as well.
In the meantime, visiting golfers who still have the thirst for a battle royal can fully satiate it with brief excursions to a pair of punitive playgrounds that lie in opposite directions. The town of Gypsum, located thirty-eight miles west of Vail, is home to Cotton Ranch Club, a 7,052-yard semi-private course designed by Pete Dye. The town of Breckenridge, located about the same distance east of Vail, hosts the municipally owned Breckenridge Golf Club, a 7,276-yard Jack Nicklaus layout with an elevation of 9,324 feet, a course rating of 73.3 and a slope of 149, which attests to its reputation as one of the toughest tracks in the state.
But after spending half a week in Vail valley, I was no longer in the mood for waging battles against par, the elements or myself. My old war lust had given way to a whimsical wanderlust. I had a hankering to journey onward across the Continental Divide.

One way in which my deep personal laziness manifests itself is my fascination with ways of getting paid not to do things.1 Contested M&A deals turn out to be full of such opportunities, from greenmail to don't-work-for-a-hostile-bidder law-firm retainers. Break-up fees are a favorite of mine, and a place where I really feel mystified by the financial world. I have seen people lose out on a deal to a topping bid, putting them in line for an eight-figure break-up fee, and I have seen the look on their faces and: they were sad. Sad! To get paid tens of millions of dollars to stop working on the deal! I had to keep working on the deal, and no one was giving me millions of dollars.
At some intellectual level I understand this. So, in the Dell deal for instance, Silver Lake want to put $1.4 billion into Dell today and exit in five years and make 5x their money, I get it. But: that's hard! You have to, like, manage Dell. Seems like a big company, has some problems. Your $1.4 billion is at risk, you have debt covenants to worry about, and, I dunno, wristwatch computers or something to make. Or someone can just write you a check for $450 million and you can not do any of that.2 I mean: go ahead, write me a check for $450 million, and I will happily not manage Dell. 450 dollars, really. Buy me a drink and I will spend as long as you want not running Dell. I'd be at least as good at it as Silver Lake.
On the other hand, if you're a Dell shareholder, what do you win if you vote down the buyout deal? Read more »
