A Walk in the Surf – Romantic Seascape California Marine Oil Painting
A Walk in the Surf
8″ x 6″
oil on canvas
SOLD to a collector from Santa Cruz
A romantic stroll on the beach, the water rolling up gently on the shore. If you live near a coast I'll bet you have a memory or two, don't you?
I'm thinking seaward these days, getting geared up for the San Clemente paint out the week of June 20 – 28, culminating with a two day show and sale. The plein air painting should be great – I'm really looking forward to it.

Tarrus Riley
(born Omar Riley, 1979, The Bronx, New York City, United States) is a Jamaican-American reggae singer, member of the Rastafari movement and the son of Jamaican reggae singer Jimmy Riley.[1]
His father is veteran reggae singer Jimmy Riley. He made his recording debut as a teenager. In 2004, Tarrus released his debut album, Challenges. Riley has consistently racked up awards for his work. Among his accolades are Best Singer, Male Vocalist, Cultural Artiste, Song of the Year, and Best Song. Some of the awards institutions which have rewarded Riley include the Youth View Awards, The Star People's Choice Awards, EME Awards, and the Reggae Academy awards. Tarrus is the holder of Jamaica's CVM TV's 15th Anniversary Award, held in February 2009, for the 'Most Admired Song in the Past 15 Years' for the hit, "She's Royal".
In 2009 Riley released his third opus Contagious on Cannon Production. The album was distributed by VP Records. It contained the hits Start Anew, Contagious, Good Girl Gone Bad featuring Konshens and Superman, a cover of a Robin Thicke original.2010 saw the release of the chart topper Protect the People, which scaled several charts in Jamaica and across the Caribbean. Early 2011 saw the release of the Black History themed Shaka Zulu Pickney which was featured on the Nyabingi rhythm from Bombrush Music. The video for the song which was directed by Storm Saulter was well received upon its release. His interest in educating the youth about Black History resulted in the Tarrus Riley Freedom Writers Competition, which ran on Jamaica's Irie FM radio station.
2011 also saw the release of videos for hit singles including Come Ova and Never leave I. Both songs have become anthems on Jamaican radio as well as in several Caribbean territories. Riley has performed on several stages around the world. His performances have drawn credible reviews from the media in the Caribbean, North America, the United States and Europe.
Riley tours Europe once each year, performing on the major reggae festivals in several European countries. Riley's most recent high profile performances include the 2011 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, Reggae Sumfest 2010, Betty Wright and Friends in concert in Jamaica, and the Palmyra Foundation's Fundraising event. He also headlined the Hennessey Artistry show in Barbados in December 2011.

The new sports bar that flanks the Signature Sandman Hotel across from Interior Savings Centre is holding a recruitment drive at TRU starting today.
Sean Hobson, a manager with the Shark Club restaurant chain, said the one-week hiring blitz is timed to prepare for a tentative opening of the bar by early March.
The hiring will allow a month of training for 45 to 50 staff, including 15 to 20 management, event and kitchen staff as well as 30 servers and bartenders.
The hiring drive is open to the public as well as university students.
A hiring booth will rotate around campus at the main entrances to buildings between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the following dates: Today, Campus Activity Centre; Wednesday, Jan. 8, House of Learning; Tuesday, Jan. 14, International Building; Thursday, Jan. 16, Old Main; Monday, Jan. 20, International Building; and Wednesday, Jan. 22, Old Main.
Hobson said the location should be a good one with the business located across from the city's largest arena.
"We bill it as a premium sports bar - a little bit better service and featuring all major sporting events," on an as many as 30 TVs.
An opening date for the six-storey hotel has not been announced, but the $25-million construction project is expected to be complete this spring. The Rockford Grill, another restaurant, will flank the opposite end of the hotel, offering Asian-inspired West Coast cuisine.
As a whole, the hotel is expected to create about 200 jobs.

Okay I just sat up all night writing my response to chey's "confused..." post. I think I did a pretty goood job of it, though I did get a bit long-winded. It's the drawback of being both a writer AND a history nut, I think.
Now I have to get my ass to sleep, cuz my eyes are about to melt.
Nitey nite all. Hugs.
So, I saw this speaker today at a PFLAG meeting, my mom dragged me along to, and he was saying something pretty cool which is that a major determining factor in someones sexuality is the amount of androgyn in the womb, gay guys get less, lesbians get more; transversally, women get less men get more.

... or Ruger, or any other piece of machinery.
I read through the forums that people get a sense of well-being from carrying a loaded gun. Some feel better with a larger gun. Been there; done that. Something is wrong with putting my faith in a man-made object.
I'm not proselytizing or preaching. I am declaring that there is both a rational sense of being prepared with objects which removes anxiety (having some savings in the bank, a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, spare batteries for hurricane season, a shotgun by the bed at night, a .45 IWB at the mall) and there is also an irrational sense of emotional dependence on weapons, especially concealed guns, to provide a sense well-being. Irrational is not bad per se, but I sense a mild pathology in some posts; those posts are the reason for this thread.
I like the guns I have (especially blackpowder, which is as close as I've yet come to reloading). The engineering, craftsmanship, and utility are (to varying degrees) a source of delight and wonder. I enjoy handling them, as I do handling my bow or a well-made knife. The same feeling occurs when I finish setting up a treestand and scale its sturdiness for a test-view. But that sense of wonder at craftsmanship pales to transparent when compared to the sensation of watching sunrise from that stand, watching squirrels climb out of the nest at dawn, or seeing a fawn trail a doe through the brush.
But there was a time, years ago, when my guns meant more to me. They then provided a sense of well-being which was lost when separated from them. To be unarmed was to lack confidence in myself, to feel vulnerable in the very world which nurtured me to adulthood. That was wrong!
It is one thing to perceive a threatening situation and feel vulnerable. It is something else altogether to let the mere absence of a handy machine take away the peaceful relaxation of lying on a beach, swimming in a pool, or just walking down the street to church.
So let me exhort those who share my fascination with firearms, my proud exercise of fundamental and constitutionally assured rights, and my desire to encourage others to join in these pursuits. There is a point beyond good sense where the machines become idols, where they act as talismans against fears which do not otherwise exist, where we devote so much of our confidence to hardware that it becomes an article of faith rather than a reasoned decision.
Perhaps, perchance, there is even a bit of foolishness in letting the easy access to arms lead one to enter or stay in a threatening environment when exit is both possible and honorable... to let the option of fight or flight be driven by armament rather than preservation.
I have a strong and living faith which works without any machinery, a faith which may even prefer martyrdom to self-defense. My faith is not in Glock.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)US spying on allies at UN, citizens, NOBODY to do anything about it
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
August 26th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A report from the German paper Der Spiegel, claims that Edward Snowden shared information that the NSA has been spying on European Union conferences at the United Nations headquarters. The NSA has managed to hack into the UN's video conferencing system. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The reports keep coming about a beast running out of control. The NSA is spying rampantly, even on allies, because it seems it can. In the latest revelation by European media, provided via Edward Snowden, the NSA has been spying on EU conferences in the UN.Such spying has no obvious anti-terrorism value. The revelation is certain to outrage U.S. allies who have already decried previous revelations of espionage against their governments. Documents provided by Snowden to the paper reveal that the NSA hacked into the UN's video conferencing system and monitored EU communications. The paper quoted one document as saying, "The data traffic gives us internal video teleconferences of the United Nations (yay!)." That remark hints at the flippant attitude the NSA has towards communication intercepts. While we may praise intercepts of terrorist communications and those of our enemies, this network was actively used to spy on U.S. allies. That surveillance reportedly began in the fall of 2012 when the EU moved its video conferences into a new room at the New York headquarters building. Der Spiegel says that documents reveal the U.S. has surveillance of more than 80 embassies and consulates around the globe. The problem is that the NSA has gone much too far, gathering data and intelligence on matters that should not concern it. The wide net has allowed it to intercept some terrorist communications, but it has also gathered the communications of most American citizens as well. That data has already been abused, with the NSA providing tips to the IRS on known drug traffickers in the U.S. for IRS prosecution. The IRS subsequently falsified its records to cover the source of its tips. Nobody is likely to shed any tears over drug traffickers being targeted by the IRS, but the problem is that the gathering of information on Americans and the lying on behalf of the IRS are both illegal acts. From there, it becomes a small matter to take methods perfected against social undesirables and to apply them to the rest of the nation. Naturally, the NSA insists it is operating in a legal fashion. However, hacking into allies communications and spying on them isn't likely very ethical, even if legal. It certainly carries liabilities once revealed. The American people must grow accustomed to a much-diminished degree of privacy in everything. With a president that refuses to be transparent or to stand for the Constitution, and a people who feel incapable of changing the system, the new normal may not be desirable, but it is fairly entrenched. The beast is already loose, and much too big to slay. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

A divided Colorado legislature: GOP takes House, Dems keep Senate
Posted By Lynn Bartels On November 3, 2010 @ 10:24 am In Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics,Elections | 6 Comments
Senate Republicans went to bed thinking they had won control of both chambers in the legislature, but woke up this morning to find Democrats still in charge in the Senate.
Rep. Frank McNulty [1], a Highlands Ranch Republican who likely will be elected House speaker, said he called Democrat gubernatorial winner John Hickenlooper [2] this morning.
"We both agreed that now is the time for us to work together," McNulty said.
McNulty has scheduled a press conference for later this morning at the Capitol.
On election night, Republicans said Bob Rankin was going to unseat Sen. Gail Schwartz [3], D-Snowmass Village, but she won with 832 votes.
"I am so relieved because certainly I serve at the whim of the voters," said Schwartz, a Snowmass Democrat.
Republicans needed to win four Senate seats to reclaim the majority they lost in 2004, but so far have picked up just one, with state Rep. Ellen Roberts [4] R-Durango, beating Sen. Bruce Whitehead, D-Hesperus.

English is becoming the international language in numerous fields of human civilization. We sought to evaluate the extent of use of English in the field of biomedical publications. We searched in PubMed for the number of articles written in the 57 indexed languages, during each one of the four past 10-year periods. The extent of use of English as the publication language of articles included in PubMed has gradually risen from 62.3% of the total number of indexed articles between 1967–1976, to 74.0% between 1977–1986, 83.4% between 1987–1996, and reached 89.3% in the period between 1997–2006. The percentage of articles written in each one of the other languages was less than 1.6% for the period of 1997–2006. Apart from English, only the percentage of articles written in Chinese has risen between 1967–1976 and 1997–2006 (from 0.05% to 1.49%). In conclusion, the dominance of English in biomedical publications archived by the most commonly used database is impressive and increasing. This fact may have several consequences, favourable or not, in various aspects of scientific production.

The Larry Maitlen Family Home PageUpdated September 5, 2000 |

Leesburg, VA 20178-0463
Fax: 703-777-5190 |
Greetings! Welcome to our Home Page. In time, we will be uploading all of the information about the Maitlen/Maitland family that we have been able to assemble from around the world. We are still looking for any information about the Maitlen family. If you have any information you are willing to share, please contact Larry Maitlen at the e-mail address listed here on the site. I am researching the MAITLEN family from Greene County, OH via Sussex County, VA. Isaac N. Maitlen/Maitland/Medlen and Sarah Fiers where married in Sussex Co., VA. 17 December 1804: marriage of Isaac MEDLEN and Sarah FIERS, dau. of John FIERS. Sur. Thomas ROWLAND. Wit. Thomas CHAPPELL and Robert CHAPPELL. p. 116, in Marriages of Sussex County, Virginia 1754-1810. by Catherine L. Knorr 1952. In 1805 Sarah and her husband, Isaac left Sussex Co., VA with Sarah's father, John FIERS and family to settle in Greene Co., OH. They were among the very early settlers in the "Union Neighborhood", a settlement of devout Methodists. Isaac apparently came from Scotland. His father is listed as Isaac N. Maitland Sr. of Scotland, but we're not certain where in Scotland, nor have we had any fortune so far in identifying him. Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have. |

Jared Della Valle, AIA, of Alloy, was very open with the sizable audience at his breakout session during Reinvention 2011. "Real estate development is very personal," said the New York architect and developer who recently left his former firm, Della Valle Bernheimer, to start a new development company, Alloy. "You have to be 100 percent invested in your own project in order to sell. That's when people perceive your value, is in your own confidence."
No articles.
Della Valle explained the setup of his new company and how he goes about putting together a project. For him, it's about having control of the projects and being able to create the buildings he wants to create. "The whole reason I became a developer was so I get to choose what stays and goes in the value engineering," he said.
He showed the audience images of an on-the-boards mixed-use project with a kinetic copper façade, as well as a completed loft conversion building in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood. "You've got to be prepared to take the risk," Della Valle warned. "The whole thing relies on you trusting your instinct."

Nose: Sherry comes in on the front of the nose switching to cherry, bakewell tart, peach, almonds & prosciutto.
Palate: Sweet to the front, changes to lemon citrus followed by mild tar & creamy smoke.
Finish: Sublimely long and creamy. Big on tangy fruit...
Please enter your details to make it easier for us to help you further.
It's the nose that holds this malt back for me, it's not unpleasant just a little nondescript, that said in all other departments it really hits the spot.For me the taste is sharp and crisp, fresh and lively with a long slightly sweet finish... beautiful... if only the nose...
5th March 2012
I agree with the detailed analysis of the "Summer whisky" review, above, but, while he like it, for me the result is unpleasant. It's all a question of taste, of course, but I would just warn people who like the HP12 and HP18 not to expect this Whisky to resemble the HP12 and HP18.
14th June 2011
Nose: This is summer for me, nice hints of sherry, toffee and caramel. Vanilla flavor, oak and wood. Lots of vapour, maybe a bit strong on the nose, probably because of the high percentage of 57%. Some bitterness but not bad bitternessTaste: Lots of oak and peat, some citrus, not too thick, not too thin, somewhere in the middle.Summary: More nose than taste, burnt almond and lots of oak an peat. Great for a summer evening. Love it.Note: This sample was donated by Master of Malt, thanks!Jens Wedin, chwisgi.com

Beliefs About Heaven & Hell Impact Views on Work, Economy
Early last year, pastor Rob Bell stirred up controversy with a book and a discussion that questioned the strong, historically held, Evangelical belief in hell. In Love Wins, the aforementioned book, he introduced Scriptural arguments questioning the traditional Christian doctrines of heaven and hell, God's judgment and love. Siding with God's limitless love, Bell put hell […]

The case for |
The arguments against |
It's simple to understand and thus doesn't cost much to administer. |
Representatives can get elected on tiny amounts of public support as it does not matter by how much they win, only that they get more votes than other candidates. |
It doesn't take very long to count all the votes and work out who's won, meaning results can be declared a handful of hours after polls close. |
It encourages tactical voting, as voters vote not for the candidate they most prefer, but against the candidate they most dislike. |
The voter can clearly express a view on which party they think should form the next government. |
FPTP in effect wastes huge numbers of votes, as votes cast in a constituency for losing candidates, or for the winning candidate above the level they need to win that seat, count for nothing. |
It tends to produce a two-party system which in turn tends to produce single-party governments, which don't have to rely on support from other parties to pass legislation. |
FPTP severely restricts voter choice. Parties are coalitions of many different viewpoints. If the preferred-party candidate in your constituency has views with which you don't agree, you don't have a means of saying so at the ballot box. |
It encourages 'broad-church' centrist policies. |
Rather than allocating seats in line with actual support, FPTP rewards parties with 'lumpy' support, i.e. with just enough votes to win in each particular area. Thus, losing 4,000 votes in one area can be a good idea if it means you pick up 400 votes in another. With smaller parties, this works in favour of those with centralised support. |
. |
With relatively small constituency sizes, the way boundaries are drawn can have important effects on the election result, which encourages attempts at gerrymandering. |
Small constituencies also lead to a proliferation of safe seats, where the same party is all but guaranteed re-election at each election. This not only in effect disenfranchises a region's voters, but it leads to these areas being ignored when it comes to framing policy. |
If large areas of the country are electoral deserts for a particular party, not only is the area ignored by that party, but also ambitious politicians from the area have to move away from their homeland if they want to have influence within their party. |
Because FPTP restricts a constituency's choice of candidates, representation of minorities and women suffers from 'most broadly acceptable candidate syndrome', where the 'safest' looking candidate is the most likely to be offered a chance to stand for election |
Encouraging two-party politics can be an advantage, but in a multi-party culture, third parties with significant support can be greatly disadvantaged. |

Hi all. This blog is about my experience at
4-AFSB Varanasi and referring to my experience as awesome would be an
understatement. Now the date of reporting was 13th January
2014 and approximately 200 students from all over India were standing at the railway
station with full enthusiasm and expectations to become a flying officer in
next few days. We had a briefing there about what all documents would be
required and soon all the students were taken to the selection board. All the
baggage was kept in a separate truck. We all assembled in a hall where an
officer told us about the procedures that would be followed for the day.
After a formal welcome, we started with the
tests. The first one was OIR (officers intelligence rating) test. It's a simple
aptitude test which was held in two parts, each having 50 questions each and
the time allotted was approximately half an hour each. After the aptitude test,
in PPDT a picture (very hazy) was shown to us for 30 seconds and we were given
1+4 minutes to write no. of characters along with their sex, mood and age, a
story respectively. The haziness is to test the kind of thinking a candidate
has (the story should never have any negativity in it and should preferably
have a hero in it). After this the candidates were divided in groups of 12 each
and we were asked to narrate our own stories one by one and then discuss it.
The most important thing in a group discussion is that one should speak at least
twice and should never try to dominate the discussion i.e. respect others too.
Within 15 minutes of the GD the results were declared and 65 candidates were
screened in for the next 5 day process.
We took our luggage, had lunch and moved to
our respective rooms which were very well equipped with all the facilities and
were spacious too. After keeping our luggage we again went to the hall where we
were first congratulated by the officer and then we had our documents
verification. We were made to fill the PIQ form which is basically to know
about the candidate. One should be cautious while filling up the PIQ form and
not write things which he/she does not have any knowledge about because all the
qualities mentioned by you would be checked during the course of the 6 day stay
and also in the interview, 60% of the questions are based on the PIQ form.
After the process, we had our dinner and after the fall in at 8:45 pm we went
to our respective dorms. We were ordered to fall in at 6:45 am in the morning.
The next day i.e. 2nd day started with the
PABT (Pilot aptitude battery test). This test was only for the candidates who
had opted for flying branch. In PABT, firstly we are taught for an hour and all
the things are explained in detail. After the explanation we have the written
test in two parts (15+50 questions). The test is a cakewalk provided you listen
to the explanation carefully (but the time is too less and therefore some
pressure is there). Those who cleared the written round were taken for the
machine test (INSB and SMA). This too checks the ability of the candidate to
handle the machines. For each test we get 3 chances and the best one is taken
for the score (No trial is given beforehand although the candidate are
explained the functioning of all the parts). After the machine test we were
given 15 minutes to report back for the psych test.
The psych test includes 4
tests which are
- Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): Candidates are shown clear pictures, in which the candidate has to observe it for 30 seconds then needs to write a story on it in four minutes. There are total 12 slides are shown, 11 slides will be shown one by one i.e. after 4 minutes and 30 seconds the next slide will appear. There will be only one answer booklet for all the psychological tests, and will be provided only once, no supplementary sheets are provided. The twelfth slide will be a blank slide where a candidate is supposed to write any story of his own choice.
- Word Association Test (WAT): In this test the candidates are shown a word on a screen for a period of 15 seconds, in this time duration the candidate has to write the first thought that comes in his/her mind for that word. Total 60 words will be shown one after another ( i.e. between each word the gap will be of 15 seconds).
- Situation Reaction Test (SRT): 60 situations will be given and candidates have to write their response. The time allotted is 30 minutes.
- Self-Description Test (SD), or a variation of this like description from the point of view of parents, teachers, colleagues, neighbors, etc.
The next day i.e. day 3, we had to report
for the group task. Our GTO gave his introduction and then briefed us with the
tasks which we would be performing in the next 2 days. Firstly we had 2 group
discussions and after that we moved to GPE (group planning exercise). In GPE,
we are shown an area and everything is explained by the GTO. We get 4-5
emergency situations and are expect to solve them within a time frame utilizing
the resources as efficiently as possible. We have to write the story in 5
minutes. The sheets are then taken from us and we have to discuss our plans and
reach a conclusion. After the discussion, a candidate from the group goes and
narrates the plan before all of us and the GTO.
Progressive group task was the next one in
which we had to cross 4 obstacles in 45 minutes along with plank, balli, rope
and load. Then our group was divided in half and we had to cross one obstacle in
15 minutes (Half group task). There are few rules which are explained by the
GTO before the task and should be kept in mind while performing the tasks. The
next one is command task in which
The GTO selects each member of the group
turn by turn to act a leader or commander of the group the leader is given
a free hand to select any number of members to form his group. I chose 2.The
GTO then explains the requirement of the task to the leader. The leader in turn
explains the requirement and his plan of tackling the task to the
members. Then he allots duties to each member. The greater the difficulty level
for the candidate better it is (It means the GTO has high expectations from the
The remaining tasks which were lecturette,
individual tasks and final group task were left for the 4th day. In lecturette,
the candidate has to pick up a chit in which 3 topics are given(in decreasing
order of difficulty). The candidate has to choose one out of the three topics
and speak on the same for 3 minutes. The candidate gets 3 minute time for
preparation. The individual tasks are no big deal if you a are a sportsperson.
The candidates have to perform 10 tasks in a span of 3 minutes. Here again
number of tasks does not matter, what matters is how a candidate approaches a
task and performs it. In the final group task, the group is given one hurdle
and time allotted is 15 minutes. The group is expected to show a better
coordination than the progressive group tasks. After the final group task, the
candidates whose interview was scheduled for that day were instructed to report
to the waiting room within 20 minutes.
I had my interview on the same day and as
instructed I quickly changed my clothes and went to the waiting room. In the
waiting room there were around 10 candidates and everyone was curious as well
as nervous at the same time. I had to wait for approx 2 hours before my turn
came. The IO first asked me about myself (schooling, achievements etc) and then
about my family and friends. Some questions on general knowledge were also
asked which I answered correctly but I did not know 1-2 questions which were
related to Indian Air Force and instead of blabbering non sense I straight
forward told the IO that I am not very knowledgeable in the field of aircrafts
and the IO did not ask me any further questions on aircrafts. As I had
mentioned earlier, many questions were based on the PIQ form. The interview is
basically to know more about the candidate and there is nothing to be afraid
Our group had next day free and we visited
few places in Varanasi and went for a movie to lighten up the mood. On the last
day i.e. 6th day after the interviews were over, all the candidates were called
for the conference. In the conference hall 15-20 officers in their complete
uniform were sitting in a U-shaped table and the candidates were called inside
one by one. In the conference room only general questions are asked (about your
stay, suggestions etc) It takes at max 1 minute per candidate.
After the conference we headed to the mess
for lunch and then went back to the auditorium. Within few minutes, the
officers came with the results. I could sense the anxiety of all the candidates
including me. All of us were eager to know whether we have made it or not. The
officer started calling out the chest nos. of the selected candidates. Mine was
the first one to be called out (3) and that feeling which I had cannot be
expressed in words. After all the chest nos. was announced, the result of PABT
was declared. We did feel bad at the same time for our friends who could not
make it and hence it was mixed emotions for all of us. After that the
recommended candidates had to fill up forms and complete the formalities which
took around 4 hours.
All I would say is that the experience one
gets cannot be compared to anything and one should go for SSB at least once in
his/her life. Also, never think about the end result and just focus on the
tasks and surely you will come out with flying colours.

The Jane, West Village, New York City
As with the ever-trendy outfits clopping around the nearby Meatpacking District, cool comes in tight packages at the Jane hotel. The former SRO boarding house for sailors (and one-time hospice for survivors of the Titanic disaster) was wizarded into the trend zone in 2008 by the management team behind the design-forward Maritime and Bowery hotels. Yet where those properties command top price, the Jane keeps it cute with $99 single rooms and $125 bunks. The cabins are reminiscent of an Orient-Express train car in style (dark woods, deep red coverlets, vintage fans) and especially in size. Standard rooms are a mere 50 square feet, and anybody over six feet two inches might struggle with the beds. There are plenty of perks, such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, complimentary bikes, and High Line adjacency. You can also jump the queue at the Jane Ballroom, then recap the night over le petit déjeuner at Cafe Gitane. But there is one more catch: shared bathrooms. Constantly cleaned, mind you, but sitting pretty in retro chrome and white subway tiles at the end of the hall. Yet for the young and Euro who prefer to explore rather than nest, it's all aboard this grown-up hostel train.

THE GREAT HEROES AND LEGENDS OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW The fun started with a birthday poetry celebration February 27, 2010! |
Longfellow's Wayside Inn has been honored to host another community-wide read of the poems of this country's greatest poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The 2010 Longfellow Big Read explored The Great Heroes and Legends of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow — from Paul Revere and Miles Standish to Evangeline and Hiawatha. The stories are compelling and their impact on North American culture has been indelible and undeniable. In 2010, our Big Read went national, with other Big Read communities choosing to read Longfellow from Longfellow's birthday on February 27, 2010 to the end of May 2010. We had the Caldwell Public Library in Caldwell, New Jersey share their fun with us. We extended the Big Read fun beyond Sudbury this year as well and welcome our collaborators in Marlborough and Framingham: the Marlboro Public Schools, Framingham Adult ESL, and the New England Wildflower Society. We had a lot of exciting events as you can see from the events listing to the right!!! Click here to read about the 2010 Longfellow Big Read in the Sudbury Town Crier. About the Longfellow Big Read ... in 2008, Longfellow's Wayside Inn was honored to be the first grant recipient in a pilot initiative created by the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Poetry Foundation to celebrate great American poets and the nation's historic poetry locales. From Longfellow's birthday on February 27, 2008, to Patriot's Day, April 19, 2008, the Wayside Inn sponsored a community read of the works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Public events began at the Martha-Mary Chapel at the Wayside Inn on February 27th with Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, speaking on the poet's life and works. Events were held at the Wayside Inn as well as at the Goodnow Library, the Sudbury Public Schools, and the Sudbury Senior Center. Our goal is to reenergize community interest in the importance of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow as this country's greatest poet and to publicize Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn within the larger context of all of Longfellow's works. Programming includes book discussions, lectures, classes, and special events that can bring the readers together for the enjoyment of historic poetry Check out the Upcoming Events calendar to the right for an overview of what the scheduled events were, or the more detailed Events page. Website Resources
This website offers a wide range of resources to help you learn more about the life and poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The Book Discussion Group page lists resources for group leaders and participants who want to learn more about Longfellow. This page lists titles suitable for adults, young adults, and children. We encourage everyone to read Longfellow during their lunch hour, to their families at night, before the start of community meetings, and together at one of the many book discussion groups that we will hold. Teacher Resources include the Reader's Guides and Teacher's Guides that were made available to all program participants.
The Sudbury Foundation has generously provided the matching support that makes the Longfellow Big Read program possible. For more information on The Big Read, visit www.neabigread.org. |

Long ago, an evil magician used his powers to bring a statue to life - creating the terrible monster, Hirudegarn! It was only through the use of two magic whistles that Hirudegarn was defeated and peace returned to the galaxy. Two courageous brothers, Tapion and Minosha, took control of the whistles and sealed them, along with their own bodies, in magic boxes, which were cast out into the galaxy so Hirudegarn could never be revived again.
But when a mysterious stranger named Hoy arrives on Earth with the secret of Hirudegarn's revival, the Z fighters must turn to Tapion himself to answer Hoy's dangerous threats. Tapion has once before sacrificed his well-being to save the universe. With Hirudegarn destroying everything in sight, Goku, Trunks, and Goten must battle like never before in order to save the planet!

Recurring Role |
The Nicktoones version of this movie cuts out Master Roshi pointing at Bulma's boobs.
Despite Hirudegarn's likeness of a dragon, the title of the movie, Wrath of the Dragon, refers to the ferocity of Goku's Dragon Fist and not Hirudegarn himself.
This movie explains the origin of Future Trunk's sword.
Aside from the Big Ghette Star, Hirudegarn is the largest villain/monster in the entire history of Dragonball Z/GT episodes and movies.
The movie follows a timeline after the Kid Buu Saga where Gohan is stronger than Goku. However Goku is the one who overpowers Hirudegarn.
Shenron only gives one wish at the beginning of the movie. However, at this point in the series, they are allowed 3 wishes.
Bee, the dog, made a short appearance in the movie, but Mr. Satan and Majin Buu did not.
The name of the phantom monster is Hirudegarn in the Japanese version, however, in the English version it is Hildegarn.
Exploding Dragon Fist is not the official title of DBZ Movie 13, The official title is Wrath of the Dragon
In the Japanese version, Videl was always called Gt. Saiyaman #2.
Gohan and Videl: As long as crime exists, the fire of justice shall continue to burn.
Gohan: I am the great saiyaman 1!
Videl: And I am the great saiyaman 2!
Gohan and Videl: Here we come again!
Gohan: (To himself) I'm so cool!
(Hoy knocks the flute out of Tapions hand and Trunks picks it up.)
Hoy: Give me that flute!
Tapion: Trunks here!
Trunks: Right, ok.
Hoy: Wait, hear me out, Tapion is not a hero, in fact it was he who destroyed the city!
Tapion: No Trunks, he's lying!
Hoy: Once you hand him the flute he'll destroy not only your planet but the whole universe, give it here, I'll save you.
Tapion: He won't, he's evil!
(There is a long pause as Trunks thinks about who to give the flute to.)
Hoy: That's it, I will protect you child.
Trunks: CATCH!
(Trunks throws the flute to Tapion.)
Gotenks: Ye, we've advanced to Super Saiyan level 3!
Trunks: Fusion, NOW!
Goten: Right!
Trunks: DO IT!
(Vegeta collapses from exhaustion)
Goku: Vegeta!
(Hirudegarn appears behing Goku and crushed him)
Trunks: Goku!
Goten: DADDY!
(Talking to Hirudegarn)
Vegeta: Hey, you, over here, I was enjoying my first day off in over a month until some flat footed, mutated bohemia stepped on my house. You're gunna regret this you freak, all the way to the GRAVE!!!
(A cat is eating food Trunks made for Tapion)
Trunks: AH NO, SHOO, STUPID CAT THAT'S PEOPLE FOOD GET DOWN, I SAID MOVE!!!
Trunks: I brought some drinks in case you get thirsty.
Tapion: Leave me alone!
Trunks: Oh well, at least you're talking, you don't have to be all moody.
Tapion: GET OUT!!!
(Trunks runs away)
Trunks: I'm going!
(Gohan shouting to Goku about Hirudegarn)
Gohan: FATHER, IT HAS A WEAKNESS!
Goku: I know!
(Trunks goes to hit Hirudegarn with Tapions sword)
Goku: No Trunks, this monster's mine to handle, ALONE!
(Speaking to Hirudegarn)
Goku: Fight me, if you're ready to die!
(after Goku destroyed Hirudegarn)
Shenron: Is someone going to make a wish?
Tapion: (To Hirudegarn) You fed off the fear of others too long. You've taken everything from me that I held precious and dear. BUT NO MORE!
Hoy: After a thousand years you'd think he'd learn to play a different tune!
Gotenks: You can fight me or surrender, either way you're doomed.
Hoy: Get back I want to die!
Videl: Then what are you waiting for?
Gohan: Videl! What are you doing?
Videl: Come on Gohan we haven't got all day!
Japanese Title: Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Gokû Can't Do It, Who Will
This is the last Dragonball Z movie.
The time machine Tapion uses in the end of the movie to go back to his world looks similar to the one future Trunks uses to travel time.
This is the second Dragon Ball Z movie to air on Toonami in 2006.
Tapion looks quite like Supreme Kai but in a different outfit, skin and hair colour and the thing around his head. I won't say his sword as he gives it to Trunks and ironically, Supreme Kai gave his to Gohan [after he shattered it with the help of Goku].
Master Roshi and Oolong have a short appearance.
The instrument Tapion uses in this movie is Ocarina.
Dragonball Z Movie 13
The Japanese name for Dragon Fist is Ryu-ken.
Goku tells Ultimate Hildegarn that he's a lot stronger than Majin Buu, so not only does it show it was after Episode 276, but it was in the TV Series' timeline.
Great Saiyaman #1 and Great Saiyaman #2 make their movie debuts.
Japanese title: "Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can't Do It, No one can"
This movie's timeline makes the most sense of all the DBZ movies as it clearly takes place after the Majin Buu saga.
Hirudegarn is very similar to Majin Buu. They both killed their masters that revived them.
VISUAL: Tapion
The character of Tapion bears a slight resemblance to Link from the Legend of Zelda video game series.

Before I used this tag I ranked #1 for primary keyword and #3 for the plural version of it. After I put it in... no where to be found.
What I think its doing is not counting the link from the ODP. This is scary for a couple reasons. One, it does not work as intended. Two, the amount of importance placed on an ODP link will cause it to tank if not counted.
Has anyone else experienced a drop in rankings from using NOODP?
There is absolutely no cause - effect relationship of using NOODP and drop in rankings, just my opinion.
1. Who would bother with NOODP tags: Webmasters focused on quality content or webmasters focused on optimising traffic?
2. If you were to assign NOODP a spam-score, to be used alongside thousands of other minor factors in deciding if a site is more likely to be spammy or manipulating search results, would you assign it as: Positive (NOODP makes the site more reliable) or negative (NOODP is more likely to be part of a traffic-maniuplation attempt)?
A webmaster wishing to remove a no-longer relevant or badly worded desription?
[edited by: DorianWeb at 9:34 am (utc) on Aug. 29, 2006]
NOODP is one Sitemaps is another rel="nofollow" a third?
Wonder if its just worth avoiding things like this and acting more "layman", which after all is what Google ultimately wants I would imagine.
If it was me running an SE, and I wanted results based on good content, I'd be keen to catch those people trying to squeeze top results through optimisation and would probably lay a few subtle tracks down to flag who was paying attention. By "subtle" - I mean I wouldn't bomb people out, but I might add a "-1" to their algo total for a gradual process of down-grading that wouldn't alert them. Call me a cynic :)

Free BBQ at C&I Studios in Fort Lauderdale
Categories: Beer Beer Beer, Free Food
Tonight at 6 pm, C&I Studios in the FAT Village in Fort Lauderdale will kick off its new night, simply titled BBQ at C&I Studios - a free, monthly BYOB event featuring burgers and hot dogs (including vegan options), along with "the largest game of beer pong ever."
The seven-year-old DIY media and production company has been making a
name for itself in the FAT Village neighborhood since moving into the
4,000-square-foot warehouse space in 2011 with its themed Art Walk
events, $1 movie nights, and Live at C&I mini music festivals. The
events draw crowds of mixed ages and styles -- "anyone who is tired of
going to Vibe and Yolo and is starving for something real," says C&I
Executive Director Josh Miller.
Count on meeting new people and mingling with Fort Lauderdale's growing community of creative types outside while enjoying the free grub, hot off C&I's brand new grill. Event Manager Cory Bost will be giving away C&I t-shirts to beer pong winners.

With new creatively-focused businesses and events popping up all over the area, including independent craft and artisan food markets like Flagler Village's Night Owl Market and Food In Motion, it seems the community is responding well to the small but growing scene in the young Fort Lauderdale arts district.
"We love to throw awesome events and for the community have a place to go," Miller says. "As we grow and our events grow, we are growing FAT Village."
The free BBQ will last until 8 pm.

Justin Sollohub, the Anniston police officer killed in the line of duty in 2011, will be honored in Pasadena, California's annual Rose Parade. The group Donate Life will be sponsoring a float in the New Year's Day parade that will feature images of 72 individuals who were organ and tissue donors. Upon Sollohub's death when he was 27-years old, his organs were transplanted to four different patients from across the country. For his life-saving gift, the Anniston police officer's image will be displayed as a portrait made of flowers on the Donate Life parade float along with images of 71 other donors from across 34 states. The Alabama Organ center and UAB Hospital are sponsoring Sollohub, and the UAB News reports his partially-completed floragraph will be shipped from Pasadena to Jacksonville for a decoration event next Saturday and will be completed by friends and family and the UAB Hospital on December 18th. The 2013 Rose Parade will be on Tuesday, January 1.

Remember back when you were a kid, and you had a birthday party? You always wanted to have the cone hats.
Your brother or sister would try to steal it from you, and a rubber band would snap you in the face. Now you can bring back those funny memories with your kids. Birthday Express has many different cone hats for any party theme. You can get them for the Bubble Guppies, Super Mario, Mickey & Minnie Mouse, or one of our other great themes.
We also offer a few unique cone hats like the How to Train Your Dragon hat that has horns built into it, or the birthday girl cone hat that has ribbons, bows, and fur on it. We also have a few hats with the characters cut out of them, so they pop out. There also multiple different hats in some of the sets like Hello Kitty for each of the characters in the theme. These fun hats will make the party more fun for the kids and show off your creativity to the other parents.
One other great idea is to use the cone hats as party favor holders. You can give the kids their party favors in the hats. Then you can put the favors in favor bags inside the hats so they can go along with your tablescape. Place them in holders and hand them out like ice-cream cones. There are also sorts of creative ways to use cone hats without using them as just hats.

Nerdist Podcast #119: BRYAN CRANSTON
By Chris Hardwick on August 29, 2011
Bryan Cranston talks "Breaking Bad," finding Hal's center on "Malcolm", getting a call from Tom Hanks to play Buzz Aldrin, and marketing his exciting new culinary treat. Special unexpected but welcome appearances by Rainn Wilson and Phoenix Jones!
This episode should win a friggin award!!
*sidenote: VERY limited spoilers. Like, maybe one tiny one from Season 3. We skated around plot points in case our listeners hadn't seen the awesomeness of BB yet.
*update: Here's the snazzy group photo we took during the podcast
That pic you have up looks remarkably like a HALF-LIFE movie poster. Cranston would be a great Freeman.
This is fantastic. Also, that graphic is swagsauce. whoever made that is a master.
When Matt came back without waters I felt so sad. I wanted Bryan to do that whole knock-them-outta-his-hand bit so badly!
Thanks for avoiding spoilers, I need to finish Mad Men before I start BB.
Is "swag" a new meme or something? Starting to hear and/or see that freakin' everywhere!
Love me some Bryan Cranston Dick Grapes! And better yet Catherine Zeta-Jones Pussy Jelly!
Chris, how did your head not explode from having Brian Cranston, Rainn Wilson and Phoenix Jones in the same room!?
I suppose we can rule out Rainn Wilson, Brian Cranston, Chris Hardwick, Matt Mira or Jonah Ray is Phoenix Jones…
Now that Pheonix confirmed he's a pro fighter by day, if it is whom I think it is, I used to train with this guy!
Embrace Me
Can't wait to hear this one… I love me some Dr. Tim Whatley!
Fssshhhhhh, Adam Carolla had him on ages ago. Guest Fail!
But seriously, I can't wait to listen… no… I mean it… I CAN'T WAIT… why can't I stop typing. It's downloaded… ready… right there… (Faint) -
Great episode Big C. quick Quemment, did you go out and fight crime with Phoenix Jones??
Oh and with regard to the graphic looks great but there are typos Ne (Neon) is 10 and Po (Polonium) is 84. Just saying, couldn't help myself. Sorry, I'm leaving now.
Can we see the picture of the Nerdist Crew,Phoenix Jones, Bryan Cranston and Rainn Wilson?
Leif: they're not atomic numbers…119 is the episode number and 2 is season 2 of the podcast…it's rare that i'm ever arbitrary…but good nerd eye nonetheless!
@ChrisHardwick where's the picture you took? Great episode by the way, you guys always make my day thanks.
@ChrisHardwick, this was my favorite episode of the Nerdist podcast so far. Such a great talk with my favorite actor!
This was such a great episode. Love Bcran, Big C, MiraBooey and VaJonah.
I mean no harm in pointing this out, it is just an observation: Did anyone else notice when Big C says "it's Phoenix Jones you guys!" that it sounded as if it were spliced in? Or am I crazy?Have I just outed myself as an audio-nerd? I think I did.
Hey Chris, you mentioned you hadn't seen Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson or Valhalla Rising, but were urged to check them out by Matt and Jonah. I third that urging, with an additional three suggestions of Refn's work— The PUSHER trilogy. They are AMAZING! Three very different, very great takes on characters involved in the Copenhagen criminal underworld. Refn is a great director, and I was o grateful to discover him proper earlier this year (after having watched Bronson last year).
I cannot wait for Drive to come out, as even in the trailers and clips available online, the legacy of PUSHER is VERY present. -
And just like that I have a crush on Mr. Cranston! This episode was SO FUN! I was getting kind of disinterested and desensitized to the too many podcasts I've been listening to lately, but this managed to crack me up many times! Oh boy do I wish you would have run around Seattle with Phoenix Jones in a Jimmy Olsen-like fashion. This is already a cartoon in my head.
I agree that Bronson totally rocks.

Applications (2012)
Please post your applications here. Each application should contain at least name, sex, species, class, and brief background. The mechanics will be dealt with after the characters are selected.
Hi there! My name is Andy, nice to meet you. If you care to know, I am very character-driven gamer; I play for the story telling, not the 'winning'. It can drive some game-smart players crazy, although I find that that is less an issue in PbP communities like this.[/CENTER]
My first application is for Ve'caraven (Vekcara Ven), a Twi'lek pilot. I had originally designed her for a different game, but it fell apart before it had even properly started, so I have been dying for a chance to play her properly. I have reworked her background significantly to better fit this time period and story.
Name: Ve'caraven "Vek"
Species: Twi'lek
Gender: Female
Class/Roll: Scoundrel, Pilot
Basic Personality: Nerves of steel are required for any pilot; at least, any pilot who hopes to get away with the kind of stuff Vekcara does. Even staring down the business end of a blaster rifle, she'll have a grin and a sarcastic comment. She is friendly and outgoing, but in a superficial way. When it comes down a crunch, its every girl for herself.
Combat Style: The best kind of combat is the kind you don't get into in the first place. If someone starts firing at Vek, the first thing she is going to do is look for the fastest way out possible. Failing that -- and only failing that -- she can always rely on her trusty blaster pistol, Vana.
Vek would be my first choice of character to play, however, if you were greater need of a healer I do have a Kaminoan Noble (Healer) idea I have been kicking around for a while. Quiet, sneaky, kind of heartless... fun!
Name: Sula Re
Species: Kaminoan
Gender: Female
Class/Roll: Noble, Healer
Basic Personality: Sula does not mince words, and she does not waste time. She is thoughtful and patient, and rarely acts before thinking through every option. She does not care about your story, or your problems, and she won't tell you about hers. She does not share information that she does not need to, nor does she particularly feel the need to correct someone if they are wrong. Personal relationships are unnecessary, in her mind, people fall into one of two categories; Useful or Not Useful. Her actions and words often come off as callous or mean, and although she may say them with a smile, she intends them exactly the way they sound. To say that Sula hasn't made a lot of friends in the Rebellion would be a lie. She hasn't made any.
Combat Style: Sula is the type of person to take down her opponents quietly. She utilizes neural inhibitor darts and poisons to stop her enemies without them even realizing they are under attack.

Very pleased with this polish. One coat is enough actually, although I did two coats out of habit. It is a dark, shimmery grey and very nice indeed.
I`m bying a backup for this one asap!
This is pure glory to stamp with. It looks really nice stamped over pinks and/or peaches. Like if I had melted the graphite cord in a pencil, and stamped with it. Love love love! I like this better than silvery foils/metallics, because it shows up so much better on lighter shades of polish.
I have not used it as a base color yet, and guess it wont ever happen. But this is a one-coater for those wondering. If you love konading; Get this!
This was almost completely opaque with only one coat! It is a wonderful shimmery dark grey. The consistency is absolutely perfect.
i am in love with this color. great opaque coverage in two coats, and looks great with glitter topcoats & crackle. a definite repurchase :3
This is one of my favorite nail polish colors ever. It's a great gun metal gray that I go back to alot, goes good with everything and is a great alternative to my usual black. Has a nice metallic shimmer so I don't have use any glitter or anything on top. This wears on my toes REALLY long without peeling or chipping.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered upon application that this isn't the kind of dark graphite/blackish color I was expecting this to be (which is probably the reason why, conversely, some ppl have rated it lower than IMHO it deserves). It's a gorgeous gray metallic color that only needs ONE coat and applies evenly without streaking. Beautiful! It is kind of a dark silver/metallic blueish color which just looks gorgeous on my nw20 skin. It also konads wonderfully. I did my tips by dipping them in MAC Kitschmas pigment. Gorge! Gray and pink are such a pretty combo. I can't stop looking at my nails.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This color is so nice and works with all my outfits so it's great for everyday use. It goes on smoothly so I love the formula of it and it covers very nicely so no need to put on 8 layers.
From pictures here and elsewhere, I thought it would be a very dark, metallic charcoal color, but it's actually a medium metallic gray with a distinctly blue undertone. Nice pigmentation and I had no problems with application or wear, but it's just not what I wanted.
I loved Awaken when I saw it online on swatches and I ordered it, only to regret it on my first try because it seemed a little blah, not pretty like my usual nudes and reds. But after a while I noticed it looks great in all lightings. And though it's not a typical pretty polish, it's a very edgy, sexy gunmetal color and definitely very wearable.
One coat will already give you great color, but I usually do two. I didn't have a problem with streakiness. I used it with OPI's Start to Finish and didn't get any chipping even after a very active, intensive week.
