One Minute Film and Video Festival
The One Minute Film & Video Festival is back! After a 2-year hiatus, the One Minute Film & Video Festival presents our latest programme on Thursday, March 31 at 7 p.m. at the Toronto Underground Cinema.
Thirty new works will be presented under the joint theme of our most recent calls for submission, social/media. As in previous years, each film is required to be exactly sixty seconds in length – no more, no less – and filmmakers have been encouraged to interpret the theme social/media as broadly as they wish, in whatever manner they choose.
In addition to new works from filmmakers in Toronto and around Canada, the 2011 One Minute Film & Video Festival features new films from Japan, Italy, Australia, Germany, Poland, Romania, South Africa, and the United States, offering a complete, international film festival experience in a single screening.
Festival Director Matt Brown has also put together a programme of thirty personal favourites from the first five seasons of the One Minute Film & Video Festival. This retrospective will screen jointly with the new works presented in the social/media programme on March 31. A total of sixty one-minute films (thirty new, thirty old) will screen starting at 7 p.m. at the Toronto Underground Cinema.
The One Minute Film & Video Festival was formed in 2003 as a result of a dare between lapsed-filmmaker friends, who decided to make one-minute movies on the theme of "neighbours" in a variety of genres and formats. Each year brings a new theme, including "firsts" (2004), "intersections" (2005), "growth" (2006), and "secrets" (2007). The theme for 2011, social/media, was selected to address the growing collision of media, creativity, privacy, and our online identities.
A jury of Toronto film professionals will select their favourites among the new works presented at the 2011 One Minute Film & Video Festival, the results of which will be announced at the screening. The jurors for the 2011 screening are: Daniel Cockburn, director of Jay Scott Prize-winning feature film You Are Here; Katarina Gligorijevic, writer and movie nerd; and Henry Wong, festival director of Toronto Youth Shorts.
ADDED BONUS: The first four people to buy tickets for Thursday's ONE MINUTE FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL will also get a free ticket to see MACGRUBER at DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE on Friday April 1st at 7:00pm!

Defending the Indefensible Contest Winners
Here are the winners of our Defending the Indefensible contest! Thanks to all who participated!
Malice – Defended by Joshua Errett
Dr. Jed Hill is a disgrace by every standard of the medical profession but his own.
He is guilty of drinking before performing emergency surgery. He admits to then erroneously removing a healthy ovary from a pregnant woman, resulting in a tragic abortion and a mother who never has a chance of conceiving again. But when asked at deposition about his wrongdoing, Dr. Hill, played by Alec Baldwin, gives a triumph of a defense. "You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something. I am God."
And in this exhilarating one minute and thirty three
second soliloquy, there is no better defense of the 1993 masterpiece of filmmaking, Aaron Sorkin's Malice.
This is a movie Roger Ebert unfavourably wrote is "a film jam-packed with characters and incidents and blind alleys and red herrings"; a movie even Peter Travers derided, accusing it of over-the-top acting to hide "gaping plot holes." It has a dismal 56 per cent rating among critics on RottenTomatoes.com, and 42 per cent among audiences.
What some call red-herrings, I call smokescreens on the already rich layers of mystery. What others think is over-acting, I call some of the greatest performances of the early 90s. I want to be careful not to give away anything for those who haven't had a chance to see the film, but I must mention the shining light that is the script.
To give a hint of some of the complexity we're talking about, there are some parts of this maze of a movie that still fascinate and even perplex me. Sure, on first viewing, a brutal rape and murder seems to serve as a mere plot device. But what power it has in conveying the deep narcissism in Nancy and Jed!
How can something like that be topped? How about self-mutilation in the name of one's own glory? Of course it should be said, Baldwin's drunk with menace in this thing – a swagger he wouldn't recapture for years. Nicole Kidman is absolutely thrilling also, which is rare in her underwhelming career.
But all these are just flavours that swirl around Sorkin's writing. It is genius in that, it is not only about Jed, Tracy, Andy, Nurse Tanya and Paula Bell (played by a young Gwyneth Paltrow), it is about the strength of film and those who make them.
It all becomes apparent in Dr. Hill's aforementioned I Am God speech. He is not talking about his drunken surgery on Tracy, or the medical profession. He is talking about Sorkin, or, rather, Sorkin is writing about himself.
In this setting, in the movies, the scriptwriter truly is God. We pray to him to give justice to Andy, to punish Jed and Tracy, to return the small Boston suburb to a time of peace. And he is unrepentant in his choices. Sorkin is the higher being.
In the end, Sorkin puts on a fantastic show. But for whom? The boy who supposedly saw the crime is blind. The audience, too, can't see where this winding story will end.
Like Kidman's Tracy, you react as if it were a standard murder mystery. When Malice turns out to be anything but, of course you are going to be angry. Of course you are going to be critical.
In this metaphor, Sorkin's script is truly diabolical. There may be problems with film (continuity, for one), but Sorkin is asking outright: Who are you to judge? You read the reviews, you see the films, and with any luck you enjoy the movie.
But if you're looking for God, he was writing the script for Malice in the early 90s, and he doesn't like to be second-guessed.
Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror by Aaron Allen
Let me be perfectly clear. Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (aka Le Notti del terrore) is not a good movie, not even in the barrel-bottoming zombie genre from which it hails. Then how can I defend it? Well, I'm reminded of the immortal words of George Bluth from the short-lived show Arrested Development. On that program, Bluth warns us, "Never give crazy a baby." Usually, that's good advice. You never ever give crazy a baby. But sometimes when you give the right kind of crazy a baby (an Italian, low-budget, exploitation kind of crazy), and that baby just happens to played by a 26-year-old little person, well, sometimes crazy magic happens. Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror is a magical film so absurd and so twisted in execution and premise that it deserves the cinematic equivalent of diplomatic immunity.
Burial Ground begins as an archaeologist / professor with a ZZ Top beard uncovers some vague and unexplained secret Etruscan funeral rights when digging at the ruins on a socialite's neglected property. As a result, for an equally unexplained reason, slow-moving zombies with faces like mummified oatmeal rise up out of their tombs and attack a group of fornicating couples staying at the on-site villa . Ho-hum, right? Sure, but here's the clincher: a significant subplot to the film concerns Michael, one couple's 10 year-old son, and his incestuous lust for his own mother. Oh, not satisfied, yet? You've seen a lot of weird stuff before, I take it? Then try this on for size: Michael is played by a 26-year-old little person in a bad wig.
As the couples at the villa are slowly slaughtered by the zombies, the zombie "story" dovetails nicely into a sublimely weird incest subplot. During a break in the violence, Michael seeks comfort in his mother's breasts -- by squeezing them and begging to be with her. When rebuked by his mother, Michael seems to have no concept of personal boundaries: "What's wrong? I'm your son!" Now remember, this is a 26-year-old little person playing a 10 year old kid groping an actor playing his mother. And things get weirder. Poor Michael has an unfortunate run-in with a zombie who is a little too bitey at the end of the movie. Michael is made into zombie lunch, but like many zombie leftovers, he soon rises from the grave to partake in the buffet as one of the undead. Zombie Michael is also drawn to his mother who, in her distraught hysterics, pulls Michael to her chest. At the film's climax, we see that Michael's incestuous yearnings have carried over into his undeath: Michael clamps down, pulls back, and takes away a big chunk of his momma's breast between his teeth..
You just don't see that in movies. At this moment, it should be clear that Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror has completely lost its mind. Bonkers! Now I ask you, can you criticize an inmate in an insane asylum for eating his own hair? Can you blame a mentally ill woman for believing she's Napoleon riding on a unicorn? These people are no more responsible for their actions than Burial Ground. They are beyond criticism.
I could go on to argue that, in the context of zombie films, the zombies in Burial Ground are interesting and unique. Although slow and shambolic like Romero zombies, and equally prone to death by head trauma, they are unique in their use of tools and teamwork to accomplish their goals, climb walls, climb pillars, and impersonate Italian monks. They're precocious little scamps, but who am I kidding? That's not enough to defend the movie.
No, Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror is one hell of a bizarre movie that, despite its failings, offers one of the weirdest and marvelously unhinged subplots I've ever seen. Of all the gut-wrenchingly bad Italian zombie films I've seen, Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror is a diamond in the very-very-rough for its insane incest subplot.
After all, we just saw a 26-year-old Italian little person playing an incestuous zombie boy eating a woman's breast. For Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror, I rest my case and plead insanity in its defense.
(portions of this defense originally appeared in my Zed Word: Zombie Blog review of Burial Ground).
Ghost Rider by Mike Cameron
Director Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil) and star Nicolas Cage's big-screen version of Ghost Rider, the tale of not-beloved Marvel kind-of-hero Johnny Blaze's transformation from regular dude stunt rider into Skull-headed fire-hair having biker from Stupid Hell is one of the best comic-book movie adaptations of all time, because it is the only adaptation that acknowledges the central truth of the comic medium: comic books are stupid trash for picked-on children.
It is moronic: the main character is an Evel Knievel/Brando type whose face is on fire a lot of the time and he fights demons by staring at them and making them feel bad about themselves. It is also somehow about cowboys and there is a cowboy ghost (??). Cage's performance is laughter-inducing - a critical assertion that was somehow used as a slight. Characters lurk in carnival shadows like biker Nosferatus and the film features an excremental cover of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" - get it, the same words is in the song as the movie name - by a band called "Spiderbait". Peter Fonda is in it and he's arch and terrible, and his head is - physically and seemingly metaphorically - bigger than ever. As a serious-minded, crafted piece of work it is an utter failure, a fact that doesn't actually matter, because it is incredibly entertaining.
It eschews the ideas that other higher profile and much worse comic book movies try and gin up from their decades of cheap as shit terrible back issues - Spiderman's water-headed pillow aphorism re: power and responsibility or Batman Begins' assertion that if you spend enough money and hire a talented enough cinematographer you can make Bruce Wayne's growly psychosis seem reasonable - and instead relies on the idea that "stuff on fire is cool". Which is OK. Because you know what? Stuff on fire is cool. It is cool as shit. This movie has a motorcycle where the wheels are always on fire because its a Demon Cycle. Yeah. Suck it.
I read all those comics. I read Spiderman and Batman and X-Men when I was a kid, and enjoyed the hell out of them, because they were garbage and I was a child with a stupid soft brain. I didn't read Spiderman because Peter Parker had a grand hero's struggle - with himself and power and strong and hero and helping and brave - I read it because he kicked the shit out of robots in a tunnel on an alien planet and had a hot as hell girlfriend. Do you want to know how stupid those comics were? In an issue of Luke Cage, Luke Cage fights a bad guy called "The Mace", who is secretly Colonel Gideon Mace, and whose weapon is a big spiky metal mace that has a nozzle that shoots mace out of it. Look it up. Issue #3. Some people want to watch the world burn - some people, including Gideon "the Mace" Mace, want to smash it with a mace and then spray mace on it.
Comic book movies have in a couple of decades gone from anathema straight to tent-pole triple-A rated money-making huge-budget summer blockbusters with Serious Moral Aspirations of Seriousness and Real Directors and Actors. Ghost Rider, sitting in that uncomfortable middle, is dismissed as childish and disposable. Which it is, which is great, because that's literally what comics are and were. Old comics aren't worth money because they only printed ten copies. They're valuable because they printed a million, and 999,990 people read it, laughed at the dude with the fire-face shooting chains at a bad guy, and then threw the god damn thing in the garbage. Ghost Rider is the comic book movie for me. I want cheap, disposable entertainment. It's honest. It's not pretending to be important, or profound or serious. It doesn't try to appeal to adults by having a lot of British people in it. It's humble and stupid, and it helps me remember that I'm stupid, too, and that it's perfectly OK to be entertained by things on fire and crap.
The Village by Corey Pierce
I think this may be M. Night Shyamalan's best film, and I gave it yet another watch recently after arguing about Dogtooth with friends. I think The Village plays so much better when you already know the supposed twist and you don't walk in with what was once a high expectation from M. Night to blow your mind with the switcheroo. Also I feel the film messed itself over by advertising itself much more on the horror/thriller aspects.
First off the film is beautifully shot, rich in color, amazing blocking of the actors, shot after shot is fantastic. James Newton Howard's score is beautiful and brooding. The casting and performances are universally solid to astounding, and each of them properly sell the concept with the little details - looks of concern, knowingness amongst each other, etc. Finally, compared to the lauded Dogtooth I found the motivations and inner logic of this community to be far more convincing and plausible to maintain, which is further evidenced by rewatches. The use of the "red color" as a control mechanism makes so much more sense as a means to prohibit violence then the language aspect of Dogtooth, and Adrien Brody's x-factor chaotic character is a better wrench in the system then the outside forces of Dogtooth. Finally, the elements that DO seem silly to others, such as the accents, are so fully committed to that it gives me an extra element of interest as to why they are there, and I personally think it's sort of like how Madonna suddenly sounds British - both a commitment to their roles and prolonged exposure to each other committing to that role just wills it into existence among their own children. Nature vs. nurture, etc.
Also Jesse Eisenberg is in the film for 10 hilariously "holy shit its Jesse!" seconds an hour and forty minutes in.
Dune by Casey Jones
Okay, as a book, Dune is incredibly dense and filled with inner dialogue, background detail, and generally everything that would make it a terrible candidate for being translated to the big screen. That being said, David Lynch's Dune was of course a huge disaster, despite his better efforts at adapting the spirit of the story. Any movie that hands out cheat sheets to viewers of terms used in the film's many dialects is instantly a step out of the realm of "accessible". (Okay, a giant leap.)
And of course, I love the film. (David Lynch's version. Not that lame unfinished Alan Smithee crap.)
Every single person I've ever shown the movie to for the first time has hated it. It's slow, confusing, has terrible acting, incredibly cheesy dialogue, and has a little too much Sting in a speedo than one film should naturally have. I even hated it the first time I saw it.
For whatever reason, I watched it again, giving it a second chance, and ended up loving it. The film is so incredibly quotable, so cheesy sci-fi, such a colossal train-wreck that you can't help but love it. The budget and scope of the production was so huge that you simply HAVE to respect the trouble the crew went through to make this abortion of a sci-fi marvel. Every time I see this movie, I can't help but marvel at how much effort went into this film that was doomed before it even got off the ground. The sets are so outrageously detailed, the costumes so thoroughly thought-out, (not like those awful cowboy hats the Bene Gesserit wear in the recent Dune mini-series,) the script so quotable, and the movie so AMBITIOUS as a whole, that I just can't help but love it.
Freddy Got Fingered by Addison Wylie
I have a few guilty pleasures that people and I don't see eye to eye with. The grand champion of this grouping being Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered.
When it was first released, movie goers were focused directly on the gross out scenes. The horse masturbation, swinging a newborn baby by it's umbilical cord, dancing around with a gutted dear carcass. It's hard to pass off these scenes as nothing. Even as a fan of the film, it's hard to persuade someone into thinking these sequences are more layered. However, if most movie goers would look closer, they would see that Green and fellow collaborator Derek Harvey have made a biting satire and a middle finger towards the movie industry.
In an Andy Kaufman or Banksy manner, Green and Harvey wrote a script that faithfully follows their way to fame. Green's Gord wants to become an animator and after displaying his father getting upset at him, an executive takes notice and immediately greenlights Gord's production. This is very similar to Green's career in the 90's. After a long string of episodes on a local Rogers Cable station, MTV took notice to Green, probably after seeing clips that involve Green waking his parents up early in the morning to watch Bon Jovi in concert and other early morning mishaps, and instantly struck while the iron was hot.
Gord's show "Zebras in America" is a reflection of the release of "Freddy Got Fingered". Execs gave Gord a bunch of money to do whatever he wanted, even if that means showing graphic animated images. Outside the film, 20th Century Fox execs knew that Tom's name was on the marquee and decided to let him roam free, thus, letting Green do off-putting things with animals and not saying or doing anything to reel him in.
Freddy Got Fingered is proof that Green and Harvey knew exactly how the executives and studios looked at them and Green's feature film directorial debut is a punk rock middle finger to those cigar smoking bigwigs.

Park Overview
Kitsap Memorial State Park is a 58-acre camping park with 1,797 feet of saltwater shoreline and facilities for group and individual recreation, weddings and overnight stays. The park offers beautiful natural surroundings and sweeping views of Hood Canal.
Kitsap County requested the inclusion of "memorial" in the park's name at the time of original land donation from the county. The name reflects the wishes and efforts of the original members of the Vinland Community Club, who sought to establish a "North Kitsap Memorial Park" in honor of Henry Brown. Mr. Brown was the person who first proposed dedicating the land for community use. He also established the first permanent buildings on the site.

J. M. RAGLAND, URBAN LEAGUE SECRETARY, SAYS THEY WILL BE CHOICE OF COLORED VOTERS -- BETTER OF THE CANDIDATES FOR HIGH PLACES (By J. M. Ragland) The entrance of Mr. Fred M. Sackett into the political arena marks an epochal era in the history of the ballot as far as the Negro is concerned in Kentucky. For years the Negro vote has been directed along party lines regardless of the income. Today Negro voters are becoming more intelligent in the use of the ballot and are asking the question "what manner of man is this who asks my support in so important a matter?" When confronted with the issues of race, creed, color, the hydra-headed monster [prejudice?], social unrest, industrial competition, educational and health sufferance for all, justice in the courts, and the indisputable right to the pursuit of happiness, we whould place our faith and confidence in a man who by his past record and achievements has demonstrated his fitness for the high office which he seeks by the integrity which he has shown in the discharge of [his duties?] as a private citizen which is the best index to what he will do when placed in a position of responsibility and in the discharge of his public duties as a servant of the people who helped to elect him to office. In the person of Mr. Fred M. Sackett, Republican candidate for the office of United States Senator from Kentucky we have a man who more than measures up to the standard referred to in the paragraph above. Sackett and his family have been most generous in their contributions to the health and social welfare of the Negroes of Louisville and the state of Kentucky. Through them the Red Cross Hospital has been enabled to grow from a small one story frame building to the commodious brick structure which it occupies today. The Red Cross Hospital today is ministering not only to the sick of Louisville, but those members of the race who are living throughout the confines of the state find it convenient to travel hundreds of miles in order to receive the skilled treatment which is given there. Mr. Sackett has served for a number of years as a member of the Board of Charities and Corrections which control the penal and charitable institutions of the state, and it is here that he has aga in demonstrated his disposition to deal fairly with all classes of people regardless of race or creed. He has insisted on the same treatment and accomodations for the colored wards of the state as he has for the white wards of the state. He has worked untiringly for an apprapriation from the state for the building of an institution for the feeble-minded colored children of the state, also a home for dilinquent colored girls. Again, what manner of man is this who is asking the support of the voters of the state? In reply we simply request of you to think for a moment and call to mind the splendid record of this worthy citizen of the state of Kentucky, and if you fail to satisfy your mind from your own personal knowledge then ask any [one?] of the more than two million inhabitants and they will tell you of the good things which this noble citizen can be credited with. People from all walks of life are rallying to his support. Popolitical expediency has been set a side in the wake of a man who can and who will honestly represent the best interests of the state and all the [people?] as their representative in the Senate of the United States at Washington. There are only two Senators elected from each state in the Union and it is of extreme importance that these two men be of the highest tppe. The responsibility is great and the duties arduous, therefore, the ablest and best preparel man should be the choice of the people that the interests of the state and nation might be safeguarded. Mr. Sadkett has all the qualities which are prerequisite in a man for the office which he seeks and which are indicative of the qualities so much desired in a man who fills a seat in the senate hall of the greatest nation that has ever been known in the civilized life of man. Colored voters, do not fail to be registered afong those who helped to send so noble and so worthy a man to the Senate of the United States from the sovereign ballot of the citizens of Kentucky. Coolidge For President That the majority of the colored voters of the nation will vote for Calvin Coolidge for President goes without saying. It is true that many will scratch the ticket and cast their votes hither and thither in search of something to satisfy their disturbed minds. But we have not forgotten that little (Continued on page 8) Negroes Oppose $750,000 Bond For Parks; To Support $75,000,000 Bond For Roads, Schools The colored people of Louisville and all over Kentucky are to vote for Governor Field's $75,000,000 Bond Issue for good roads, better reformatories, penal institutions and education, but in the city there is certain to be strenuous opposition to the Board of Park Commissioners' $750,000 Bond Issue for parks, a portion of which is promised a swimming pool for colored people. The announcement of the Park Commissioners' plan was made thru the daily papers a few days ago. A committee of colored citizens headed by the secretary of Inter-racial Commission met with the commissioners on Monday afternoon and made known to them that colored people could not be expected to support the bond unless three things were granted. First, that the order of the Park Board of July 11, setting aside certain parks for white people and a certain park for colored people , be revoked. Second, that at least $150,000 of the $750,000 be spent among colored people on the play ground and swimming pool. Third, that said swimming pool be placed in densely populated district of colored people. The swimming pool is a promise of two or three years back. It is said that one of the committee told the Park Commissioners that unless they revoked the order of July above mentioned, the colored people would not only vote against the Bond Issue, but would vote to defeat members of the Park Board whose acts segregated the park system in the city of Louisville. The Board is to make their decision known to the committee next week. OFFICER GETS FIRST DEGREE MURDER .1 Progressive 1 'ewspa-per. The Largest Circdalion.

Hunter Hayes breaks world record with 24-hour tour
Country star HUNTER HAYES has set a Guinness World Record for most concerts played across multiple cities in 24 hours.
The Wanted hitmaker kicked off his 24 Hour Road Race to End Child Hunger on Friday (09May14) with a performance on breakfast show Good Morning America in New York City, the first of 10 shows in 10 cities.
Hayes continued his whirlwind trek in Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; New London, New Haven and Stamford, Connecticut; South Orange and Asbury Park, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The tour was a partnership with packaged food company ConAgra Foods to help raise awareness of child hunger and beat The Flaming Lips' record of eight gigs in one day.

There is a question plaguing Prometheus viewers that sounds as though it would be better served as a joke told by your inebriated uncle at the post-Thanksgiving dessert table: "What did David the robot say to the alien engineer?" The punchline is... not as funny as you'd think. But it does solve one of the mysteries of Ridley Scott's nebulous science fiction film.
To contextualize (here's where the spoilers begin): late in the film, David (Michael Fassbender) awakens the only remaining member of the race of beings ("Engineers") that is credited with mankind's creation, hoping that he will be able to aid a dying Prometheus crewmember, Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce). Previously, David had happened upon the sleeping body during his solo exploration of the cave that Prometheus had traveled to the planet to investigate. Upon reviving the Engineer, David poses a statement in a foreign language, identified by The Huffington Post as Proto-Indo-European. Then, after a moment of eerie anticipation, David gets his answer: the Engineer rips his damn head off, and starts killing everyone he can find.
So, you've got to imagine that David's cryptic comment was pretty significant; up until now, most fans could only speculate upon theories regarding said message. But luckily for those with a taste for concrete answers, the translation of David's question has been revealed, courtesy of linguistics expert Dr. Anil Biltoo, who worked personally with Fassbender on Prometheus to teach the actor how to speak the foreign language.
Long story short, here's what David said:"This man is here because he does not want to die. He believes you can give him more life."So, there it is: one of the thirteen Prometheus questions answered. So... how is it? Does it fill in the gaps you felt were missing from the movie? Does it leave you just as aggravated about the open-ended nature of the story? Were you, in fact, happier not knowing exactly what David said, reveling in the fun of imagining your own possibilities? Or are you simply fluent in Proto-Indo-European, and therefore knew this all along? Damnit, this was supposed to eliminate questions!

About the Columbia River: Bonneville Dam to the Pacific Ocean
The lower portion of the Columbia River stretches 146 miles from Bonneville Dam - the last of 14 dams on the river - to the Pacific Ocean. Another large tributary, the Willamette River, joins the Columbia downstream from Bonneville. When the Columbia finally meets the ocean more than 1,200 miles from its source in the Canadian Rockies, it flows in with such force that it spills a plume of freshwater four miles out into the ocean, creating an estuary of vital importance to people and wildlife.
Below are summaries of key EPA projects in the lower portion of the Columbia River basin.
Portland Harbor Superfund Site
The Portland Harbor Superfund site in Portland, Oregon, is the result of more than a century of industrial use along the Willamette River. Sediment is contaminated with many hazardous substances, including heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), dioxin, and pesticides. The cleanup investigation currently extends from the Columbia Slough to the Fremont Bridge.
Cleanup Progress in the Lower Columbia
Since 2006, 63 acres of contaminated sediments in the Lower Columbia River have been cleaned up as a result of state and federal actions. These 63 acres are among 400 acres of known contaminated sites in the Columbia River Basin.
Key cleanup sites include:
- Ross Island, Portland (near mile 15 of the Willamette River)
- Johnson Lake, Portland (south of the Columbia Slough)
- ALCOA aluminum smelter, Vancouver, Washington
The cleanups in these areas provide a significant contribution to reducing toxics in the Columbia River.
Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership
The Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership is one of 28 programs in EPA's National Estuary Program (NEP) to protect and restore estuaries of national significance. The Partnership is a public-private initiative that cuts across political boundaries - integrating 28 cities, 9 counties, and the states of Oregon and Washington over an area that stretches 146 miles from Bonneville Dam to the Pacific Ocean. It's mission is to protect and restore the lower Columbia River estuary with on-the-ground improvements and education and information programs.

The National Labor Relations Board determination that Northwestern University football players are employees and may form a union, along with other lawsuits moving through the courts, has the potential to end the exploitation of young athletes by universities, coaches and fans.
The advent of cable television gave universities vast opportunities to profit from football and basketball, and the large and most lucrative programs have consolidated into five major conferences. Those programs dominate the national championship tournaments and earn huge sums.
Northwestern football reaped an $8 million profit on its $30 million in revenue during the 2012-13 season, and it is hardly a perennial powerhouse like Notre Dame or Alabama.
Universities monopolize the market for athlete's services through the NCAA, which mandates players are amateurs and can't be paid salaries. This denies them the value they create with their labor and unique talents through ticket sales, concessions and TV rights. Coaches earn millions, universities use profits to subsidize other activities, and the fans get cheap entertainment. Universities twist admissions standards and faculty bend grades to deliver winners and appease wealthy donors.
In exchange for scholarships for tuition, room and board, and limited expenses, student-athletes are expected to train year round and work 40 to 60 hours week during the season. Their lives are tightly controlled-when they study, social media activities and the like-and often this impairs their development into fully capable adults.
Star athletes like Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, who delivered two national championships, are simply worth millions more than the scholarships and are terribly exploited.
Most athletes, unlike McCarron, will not enter a pro league, but instead leave college with a degree in a soft major that has little value in today's tough jobs market or no diploma at all. Many leave with medical conditions from injuries but no financial assistance to pay for care.
Northwestern football players are not necessarily seeking salaries as much as better opportunities to complete degrees and additional health insurance. However, if upheld on appeal, the NLRB decision that Northwestern players are employees will greatly aid plaintiffs in two pending antitrust suits that seek to break NCAA rules prohibiting salaries and permitting universities to use player images and names in endorsements and promotions without compensation.
Those suits have the potential to do to college sports what free agency did to professional football, baseball and basketball, after the courts struck down owners' monopoly practices similar to current NCAA rules.
The top 30 or 40 programs in each college sport will be able to pay top dollar to attract the best athletes, and the other universities will not be able to effectively compete.
The solution may be to permit the top 30 or 40 major universities to form football and basketball teams "affiliated" with their institutions and a major pro franchise, but require those be self financing based on game day revenues and contributions from professional teams.
Pay the athletes, offer them the opportunity to earn a degree over five or six years, but don't require them to enroll if they are not capable or are simply disinclined. By disengaging university-sponsored athletics from academic programs the potential to corrupt admissions and faculty would be greatly reduced, and a broader range of gifted young athletes would have the opportunity to participate.
Then all the other universities could have walk-on programs for genuine amateurs, and those programs, in a manner similar to the Ivy League schools and military academies, could compete at a level that complements a decent university education.
After all, a quality education is why young people should go to college.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.
The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead [of]") in this context meaning something faulty or wrong; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape"), the diminutive of eidos. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data.
The Rorschach inkblot test uses pareidolia in an attempt to gain insight into a person's mental state. The Rorschach is a projective test, as it intentionally elicits the thoughts or feelings of respondents which are "projected" onto the ambiguous inkblot images. Projection in this instance is a form of "directed pareidolia".[1]
In his notebooks, Leonardo da Vinci wrote of pareidolia as a device for painters, writing "if you look at any walls spotted with various stains or with a mixture of different kinds of stones, if you are about to invent some scene you will be able to see in it a resemblance to various different landscapes adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, wide valleys, and various groups of hills. You will also be able to see divers combats and figures in quick movement, and strange expressions of faces, and outlandish costumes, and an infinite number of things which you can then reduce into separate and well conceived forms."[2]
There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus,[1] the Virgin Mary,[3] the word Allah,[4] or other religious phenomena: in September 2007 in Singapore, for example, a callus on a tree resembled a monkey, leading believers to pay homage to the "Monkey god" (either Sun Wukong or Hanuman) in the monkey tree phenomenon.[5]
Publicity surrounding sightings of religious figures and other surprising images in ordinary objects has spawned a market for such items on online auctions like eBay. One famous instance was a grilled cheese sandwich with the Virgin Mary's face.[6]
Various European ancient divination practices involve the interpretation of shadows cast by objects. For example, in molybdomancy, a random shape produced by pouring molten tin into cold water is interpreted by the shadow it casts in candlelight.
From the late 1970s through the early 1980s, Japanese researcher Chonosuke Okamura self-published a famous series of reports titled "Original Report of the Okamura Fossil Laboratory" in which he described tiny inclusions in polished limestone from the Silurian period (425 mya) as being preserved fossil remains of tiny humans, gorillas, dogs, dragons, dinosaurs, and other organisms, all of them only millimeters long, leading him to claim "There have been no changes in the bodies of mankind since the Silurian period... except for a growth in stature from 3.5 mm to 1,700 mm."[7][8] Okamura's research earned him an Ig Nobel Prize (a parody of the Nobel Prizes) in biodiversity.[9] See List of Ig Nobel Prize winners (1996).[10]
In 1971, Konstantīns Raudive wrote Breakthrough, detailing what he believed was the discovery of electronic voice phenomenon (EVP). EVP has been described as auditory pareidolia.[1]
Allegations of backmasking in popular music, in which a message is claimed to have been recorded backward onto a track meant to be played forward, have also been described as auditory pareidolia.[1][11]
Carl Sagan hypothesized that as a survival technique, human beings are "hard-wired" from birth to identify the human face. This allows people to use only minimal details to recognize faces from a distance and in poor visibility but can also lead them to interpret random images or patterns of light and shade as being faces.[12] The evolutionary advantages of being able to discern friend from foe with split-second accuracy are numerous; people who accidentally identify an enemy as a friend could face deadly consequences. [13]
A 2009 magnetoencephalography study found that objects incidentally perceived as faces evoke an early (165 ms) activation in the ventral fusiform cortex, at a time and location similar to that evoked by faces, whereas other common objects do not evoke such activation. This activation is similar to a slightly earlier peak at 130 ms seen for images of real faces. The authors suggest that face perception evoked by face-like objects is a relatively early process, and not a late cognitive reinterpretation phenomenon.[14] An fMRI study in 2011 similarly showed that repeated presentation of novel visual shapes that were interpreted as meaningful led to decreased fMRI responses for real objects. These result indicate that interpretation of ambiguous stimuli depends on similar processes as those elicited for known objects.[15]
These studies help to explain why people identify a few circles and a line as a "face" so quickly and without hesitation. Cognitive processes are activated by the "face-like" object, which alert the observer to both the emotional state and identity of the subject – even before the conscious mind begins to process – or even receive – the information. The "stick figure face", despite its simplicity, conveys mood information (in this case, disappointment or mild unhappiness). It would be just as simple to draw a stick figure face that would be perceived (by most people) as hostile and aggressive. This robust and subtle capability is hypothesized to be the result of eons of natural selection favoring people most able to quickly identify the mental state, for example, of threatening people, thus providing the individual an opportunity to flee or attack preemptively. In other words, processing this information subcortically (and therefore subconsciously) – before it is passed on to the rest of the brain for detailed processing – accelerates judgment and decision making when alacrity is paramount.[13] This ability, though highly specialized for the processing and recognition of human emotions, also functions to determine the demeanor of wildlife.[16]
Combined with Apophenia (identifying meaningful patterns in meaningless randomness) and hierophany (a manifestation of the sacred), pareidolia may have helped early societies organize chaos and make the world intelligible.[17][18]
Pareidolia can be related to obsessive–compulsive disorder as seen in one woman's case.[19]

Prescott TipsTip on : Prescott - 6 years ago
Yes, what they say about Arizona is true, it is a dry heat! It is so much easier to handle a dry heat than the humidity of other areas that it is easy to forget to drink water. Arizona is a beautiful part of our country. You can actually find water and snow skiing not too far away. Camping a bit further north is great. Watch out for snakes. See the sights!!! Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest and Meteor Crater to name a few. Wild life is great.Good tip?

New York Mets
New York Mets news, rumors and injuriesMets | Juan Lagares likely in leadoff spot Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:44:23 -0800 New York Mets OF Juan Lagares is the favorite to serve as the leadoff hitter this year, as that is where manager Terry Collins prefers the Gold Glove outfielder. Lagares was 1-for-2 with a double, walk and run scored hitting leadoff in spring action Wednesday, March 4. Fantasy Tip: Lagares hit .281 with four home runs, 46 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 116 games in 2014. In standard 12-team mixed leagues he can be avoided, but Lagares could be a valuable outfield option for NL-only leaguers in 2015. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Jon Niese throws two innings Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:21:23 -0800 New York Mets SP Jon Niese (shoulder) threw two innings in the team's intrasquad game Tuesday, March 3, and reported no shoulder discomfort following his work. Fantasy Tip: Niese said he had life on his fastball, which hopefully means a better record than his 9-11 mark and 3.40 earned run average last year. Niese only had 45 walks to go with 138 strikeouts, so if Niese can keep the ratio down and improve the won-loss record he may merit a middle-round selection in most leagues. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | David Wright takes the field Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:13:44 -0800 New York Mets 3B David Wright (shoulder) took the field for an intrasquad game Tuesday, March 3, which marked the first time since his shoulder injury last season that he saw action. Fantasy Tip: Wright told reporters his shoulder was fine afterward and it had been through all of spring training. Wright hit .269-8-63 last season and scored just 54 runs, so his fantasy value has taken a huge hit from his days of 25-30 homers a year. Wright could be a sleeper if his shoulder has healed, but for now he's no better than a mid-round selection. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Matt Harvey to throw curve more? Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:48:00 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) focused in particular on his curve ball during a batting practice session against live hitters Monday, March 2. Harvey, who used a curve ball primarily in college, said he has started throwing it more because it's been easier to throw after his elbow surgery. "I always threw sliders," said Harvey, who threw approximately four of them for every three curves in 2013. "It's nice having that develop." Harvey will face opposing hitters for the first time Friday, March 6, against the Detroit Tigers. Fantasy Tip: Harvey comes at an injury discount in 2015 after coming off Tommy John surgery. His spring outings will be under close scrutiny by fantasy baseball players. Temper your expectations for Harvey out of the gate, as starters often face a period of lower velocity and suspect control after TJS, but news on a sharper curve for Harvey makes him even more intriguing in the middle rounds. Comment () | Share: | Source: MLB.com - Anthony DiComo Mets | Matt Harvey unlikely to hit 200 innings Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:46:04 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) probably will not pitch 200 innings this season but could pitch around 180 to 190 innings, according to pitching coach Dan Warthen. Fantasy Tip: The Mets could take Harvey out of game earlier than they usually would during the early part of the season since he is coming back from his elbow injury. Harvey likely will be an option in the middle rounds of mixed league drafts if he does not suffer any setbacks during spring training. Comment () | Share: | Source: Newsday - Marc Carig Mets | Matt Harvey throws batting practice Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:38:09 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) threw 26 pitches during a live batting practice session Monday, March 2. Harvey is scheduled to play in the spring training game Friday, March 6, and is targeted for 35 pitches but will not throw more than 40 pitches during the appearance. Fantasy Tip: Harvey appears to making good progress, but owners will know more about his status once he starts pitching in games. Harvey may be able to pitch in April if he does not have any setbacks and could be a solid draft choice in the middle rounds of mixed league drafts. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Matt Harvey to throw 35 pitches Friday Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:36:48 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) will target 35 pitches for his outing Friday, March 6, over two innings. He'll throw 40 pitches at the most. Fantasy Tip: A lot of eyes will be on Harvey as he makes his first spring outing against the Detroit Tigers Friday. So far, all reports on his right elbow have been glowing out of camp. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Harvey could be ready to pitch early in April. It's hard not to want to take a chance on him with an injury discount in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Lucas Duda might start swinging soon Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:11:32 -0800 New York Mets 1B Lucas Duda (side) has refrained from swinging during the early portion of spring due to a strained intercostal muscle on his left side. However, manager Terry Collins said Sunday, March 1, that Duda is expected to begin hitting off a tee this week. He should advance to taking batting practice next week, Collins said. Fantasy Tip: Duda swatted 30 homers with 92 RBIs in 153 games last season and he can be a cheap source of power in FantasyScore, especially when the pitching matchup is favorable. All indications are that his injury should not hinder him into the regular season. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Bartolo Colon could start opener Sat, 28 Feb 2015 10:33:28 -0800 New York Mets SP Bartolo Colon is in the running to start Opening Day against the Washington Nationals April 6. According to multiple sources, Colon and one unnamed starter are being considered by team officials to make the start. Fantasy Tip: The 41-year-old Colon has made six career Opening Day starts and topped 200 innings last season for the first time since 2005. His record (15-13) and ERA (4.09) were mediocre, but he struck out approximately five batters for every walk he allowed. Given his age, he could be available in the later rounds of mixed fantasy league drafts. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Matt Harvey feels great in BP session Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:14:11 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) threw a total of 40 pitches to teammates Friday, Feb. 27, and he said he felt great during the session. "It was awesome," Harvey said. "Obviously throwing a bullpen on the '10-pack' with nine other guys is a different feeling than facing basically our 'Core Four,' or whatever you call it. You step in the box and you have David in there, it's a good feeling to have that and be back. I couldn't feel better. It was a good day." Manager Terry Collins estimated Harvey's final pitch of the session registered 94-95 mph. Fantasy Tip: It's hard to take much away from Harvey's 40-pitch BP session in late February, but the most important part is that his right elbow is completely healthy. At his reduced price in 2015 in the middle rounds, Harvey could be well worth the price. Just keep in mind that he could get off to a slow start as he works to maintain his velocity and control while returning from TJS. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Bobby Parnell faces hitters Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:28:22 -0800 New York Mets RP Bobby Parnell (elbow) faced hitters for the first time since having Tommy John surgery last April Thursday, Feb. 26, and he viewed the workout as a positive, even though the hitters were just tracking pitches. "He's going to be a piece we're going to have to have. Like I said to him, 'You've got to still take it slow.' Hopefully by the end of spring training he gets into a couple of games," manager Terry Collins said. Fantasy Tip: Even though Parnell will start the year on the disabled list, he's still worth a fantasy baseball selection for saves, since he's expected to jump right back into the closer role when he's ready. Jenrry Mejia is worth a late-round flier for saves to start the year. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Matt Harvey's first start scheduled Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:17:21 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) will see his first spring start March 6 after returning from Tommy John surgery, and he'll face the Detroit Tigers in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Harvey will face batters for the first time this spring Friday, Feb. 27, although the hitters won't be swinging at pitches. Fantasy Tip: Harvey's reduced price in this year's drafts may very well be worth it. However, you may want to temper your expectations, since starters often face a period of adjustment when they return from TJS surgery, meaning he could be in for a slow start. A middle-rounds price is hard to pass up for this recovering superstar. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Lucas Duda out another week Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:05:23 -0800 New York Mets OF Lucas Duda (oblique) will not swing for another week, according to manager Terry Collins. Fantasy Tip: Oblique strains can typically be tricky, so it's no surprise the Mets are being cautious with Duda. Obliques aren't good news for power hitters like Duda, either, so if this is a condition that lingers, it could impact his homer stroke, at least earlier in the season. Keep an eye out on his progress. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Daniel Murphy open to extension Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:08:54 -0800 New York Mets 2B Daniel Murphy said he is open to extension talks with the club during the season, but no in-season extension talks are planned, according to a team source. That means Murphy will likely head to free agency next offseason. The source noted that the Mets are deep in upper-level middle infield prospects like INFs Dilson Herrera, Matthew Reynolds and even Wilmer Flores. Murphy is set to earn $8 million this season. Fantasy Tip: Murphy isn't a bad second base option in the late middle rounds of standard leagues, and a high batting average is his main skill, but he can also offer a little power and little speed. Just don't expect a return to the 20-stolen base mark that he put up in 2013. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin Mets | Matt Harvey to debut March 6 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:48:36 -0800 New York Mets SP Matt Harvey (elbow) will make his spring training debut against the Detroit Tigers March 6. Fantasy Tip: Harvey is a risky SP2 with a large reward potential. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Adam Rubin |

CLAYTON, Mo. (KMOV) – The smell of natural gas forced authorities to evacuate the St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton on Wednesday.
Several hundred workers were forced to leave the building in the 100 block of South Central Avenue around 2 p.m. as Clayton Fire officials and Laclede Gas workers looked for a leak.
Clayton Fire Chief Mark Thorp says very small amounts of gas were detected, but they were not considered dangerous.
Everyone was allowed back inside the building by about 2:45 p.m. Inmates remained in the jail during the 90-minute evacuation.
Officials were still investigating the source of the gas smell. They said they believe it came into the building through the ventilation system.
No injuries were reported.

I always struggle with this same thing! One thought might be to take her to an educational store, a bookstore or a toy store and let her gravitate to things on her own! Stamps, painting, dress up clothes, etc... You'll be able to watch her and see what she gets excited about! I did that with my daughter last week.... went back and knew EXACTLY what to get for her!

I went to Michaels craft store to shop for my 6 year old niece, art supplies, craft books, beads... there is so much fun stuff there for kids! I ended up with a Klutz brand book with punch out horses/unicorns and fairies that have stickers to decorate them with. Super fun.
I'd also say, she likes fairy dolls, dress up stuff (still), books, puzzles, games.
I'd try someplace beyond ToysRus or Target. Michaels, Barnes and Nobel, a small bookstore, or in our area we have a store called Creative Kidstuff, which tends to be more expensive, but they have a great selection and helpful staff.
Good luck!

C.W. answers from Washington DC on December 16, 2011
My daughter likes and wants everything, so it is often difficult for her to narrow things down. I will give her a toy catalog or sit her in front of the computer on a toy website and ask her to make out her list for santa. I think at that age she wanted a calico corners dollhouse, a leapster explorer and games (hard to believe that 2 years ago there weren't that many games for DS for her age and now there are), art projects. At age 8, she now wants a new 3DS, games, another American Girl Doll, art projects, Fairy Magic books. Good luck. I have the same issue with my son. But even though he doesn't tell me much he seems happy with what I pick for him.

It's Influence:
Though the TANGO is an essentially "porteño" product, that is to say, born and developed about the PORT of Buenos Aires, has exerted its influence on the rest of Argentina. In a range that doing axis in the " Capital of the Plata ", it included great part of the so called " Humid Pampas": north of the province of Buenos Aires, south of those of Santa Fé and Entre Ríos, managing to be inserted by great depth in another shore of the De la Plata River, in the Oriental Band of the Uruguay.
That's why in the history of Tango prominently variety of performers, musicians, vocalists, composers and poets, drawn from many localities, towns, suburbs and small towns surrounding the three main within this radius: BUENOS AIRES, ROSARIO and MONTEVIDEO.
Argentina, large geographical spread, has generated in other parts of its vast territory varied cultural musical influences of other ethnic backgrounds were adjacent. So besides the tango that can be considered the "Porteño Folklore" (zone I) coexist other regional Folklors, as:
- THE COAST (zone II): With great influence of the Guarani people and European immigrants (mostly Germans, Poles and White Russians). It counts among its musical rhythms as the CHAMAMÉ, the POLKA, the GUARANIA, the RASGUIDO DOBLE, etc.., Being its most prominent instruments the accordion, guitar and harp.
- NORTH (Zone III): The very rich musical expression with influences of this highland region but is deeply rooted "criolla" (descendants of Spanish conquistadors) is has as the major rythm the ZAMBA, which has nothing to do with the Brazilian SAMBA.
Other tunes are regional Baguala and Carnavalito, Inca influential profusion of the use of drum, the box and wind instruments such as quena, criolla guitars, and charango. The particularly beautiful CHACARERA which center in the province of Santiago del Estero, which includes within its instruments the bandoneon and the violin, can also be included within this region and sub-zone.
- Cuyo (region IV): Includes the music of the Andean central regions closely related to the Chilean. There are CUECA, TONADA, and typical VALSES, with its central instrument is the guitar.
- SOUTHERN (zone V): Includes a variety of melodic rhythms starting with the Milonga of Buenos Aires, the STYLES almost exclusively performed on guitar (similar to Spanish). Further south, in Patagonia, there are other rhythms related to the ethnic groups of the region as the Mapuche people, Tehuelche, people etc.
Though the area of influence of the tango is not so wide in its extension, it includes the region of major density, where one finds 80 % of the Argentine population, Buenos Aires is not the whole Argentina, but if your center of gravity in all the natures. It is the capital of the country and one of the most important of South America. Its influence has been and is well-known in the whole region, for what it must not surprise that its more distinguished musical manifestation, THE TANGO, has been considered to be historically its more out-standing product and of universal knowledge.
Its History:
It is impossible to pretend to embrace the rich history of this genre, but a brief introductory approach
The Beginning:
At late 19th century when the city of Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, was still surrounded by the desert pampa, was born a new music called Tango. Regarding his pace recognizes the musical influence of Central Havana, Spanish music and milongas the "payadores" that played in the fields far from large cities and of having a melting pot made up of immigrants with their habits and feelings. The term "citizen music" includes also the tango to the waltz and milonga.
The first tango musicians played instinctively, groups are formed with flute, guitar, violin and a strange instrument of German origin: the bandoneon. Rosendo Mendizabal, Angel Villoldo and others started what became known as the Old Guard who were the first interpreters of our music and they had their continuity Juan Maglio "Pacho" and Vicente Greco creator in 1911 of the Typical Orchestra as it was called the organized group with different instruments that played citizen music.
The Singer
The figure of the singer was built by Carlos Gardel (1890 - 1935) in 1917, when he sings the verses of "Mi noche triste" by Pascual Contursi and Samuel Castriota, marking the beginning of singing the tango with an argument. His figure had great resonance even to shoot several films in the United States that were displayed throughout the world, some of them were "El dia que me quieras", "Tango Bar", "Cuesta abajo". In Argentina were also myths of citizens among other songs, Agustin Magaldi and Ignacio Corsini. Apart from Argentina were screened with the force's own figures Gardel, Charlo, Hugo del Carril and Agustin Irusta. There should not be omitted for the songs, those represented by Azucena Maizani, Libertad Lamarque and Mercedes Simone, who won the affection of the American public.
Between 1915 and 1930 musical innovations introduced by Eduardo Arolas, Agustin Bardi, Francisco Canaro and Roberto Firpo among others, identified two distinct currents, the traditional and the evolutionist, the latter finding its exponents in Julio and Francisco de Caro.
The Golden Age
No doubt the great golden age of Tango was the 1940s. Countless musicians, poets, performers, plus the contribution of radio, cabaret and dance halls, determined the appearance of the binomial singer - orchestra: Troilo - Fiorentino ; Troilo - Marino ; Dárienzo - Echague ; Tanturi - Castillo ; Tanturi - Campos ; De Angelis - Martel ; Pugliese - Morán ; Sassone - Casal ; Sassone - Chanel ; Gobbi - del Río ; and many others.
The Dance, The Embrace:
The dance is performed by a man and a woman walking embraced that carry the beat and figures with their feet on their displacements.
" This dance of tango is a dance of couple embraced with an embrace that is containment, no squeezing. Embracing is to give with opened arms and receive with the whole body, and together the two members moving in space, but not in any given area, is a space created by the two. This dance is a real body and loving dialogue. Tango in couples is a form of self-knowledge, in tango you can be protective or the protected one, a dominated or dominating, can be tender or violent, or other times to be dancing in true ecstasy. In tango bodies have put together a circuit of mixed tensions. The arm should be strong, the legs in contact. It is a dance of affection and communication, tango is talk, talk, talk. (From the book "Loving you with eyes open" by Jorge Bucay).
A distinct language with its own creation, joined a group of musicians who belonged for generations the forties, but they were called to create a new stage. This process called Modern Tango, was marked from Horacio Salgán, Mariano Mores, Eduardo Rovira and Astor Piazzolla, and granted a permanent basis for a new search.
Like any art form, Tango found from the poetic, sung, instrumental and dance, the elements necessary for its evolution. He joined the cinema, literature and visual arts constitute long summary of Argentine identity.
Global figures from other genres have been conquered by the Tango and reached memorable recordings, Tito Schipa, Plácido Domingo and Julio Iglesias among the soloists and the Boston Pop, Tropical Serenade Andre Kostelanetz and between the orchestras. The film also interested and besides the numerous local films with urban music background is well-known recent success of the genre are in big movies like "Scent of a Woman where Al Pacino plays a blind dancing a tango European style - though not the way to Buenos Aires and Philippe Noiret who danced in "The Postman".
The Tango was heard, sang and danced in all areas. At present there is an increase in the spread of urban music that is manifested in the many voices and new groups that share the night of Buenos Aires along with the traditional figures exist numerous halls and dance schools.

Cat Eye Blinking
Name: Lily Status: Student Age: 12 Date: 8/6/2004
Since cat eyes are different than most other animals, do cats blink in the same way humans to clean the eyes and in reflex?
Hi Lily!
Do you have cats? or ever had a kitty? if so i bet you know the answer, because it is something really unique and very significant with these wonderful pets.
Yes cat eyes have some differences with other animals (including man). But the "blinking" is something special and has a special meaning, although it is used also as a reflex and for humidify the eyes. It is an act of communication. A cat doesnt blinks to everybody. When a cat blinks to a human, it is looking for communication, friendship and love. Means "i love you!" "I trust you!"
I saw that even in a feral that later on looked for the house by herself and became a house pet. Try to answer the blinking, closing your eyes very slowly and looking back directly to the cat eyes.
You will be surprised!

text: I've been looking into picking up an AR15. I know if I order off the internet, I have to have it shipped to a local dealer. How much can I usually expect to tack on to the online price. Is their a "standard" acceptable rate for this, or does it just depend on how well I know my guy? I currently can't find much locally for under a grand. There are some pretty good deals on the net, but that's without adding on the dealer's cut. There is a gun show coming to town, but it's like 2 months off and I'm impatient. Also I got the impression that if you put the gun together yourself, you only have to have the lower receiver shipped to the dealer. Is that accurate. If so, is that a way to save cash? Sorry, I'm just new to this. I'm not trying to be cheap, I just want more money for scopes, lights, and ammo. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry guys, I was burning Cloud Atlas on DvD and I didn't want to disturb the conversion part of it because when I use anything on my computer while burning a movie, the movie gets distorted a little bit at that moment in time. I will be editing my post right now.
Ok i edited the post check the jalople people.
So apparently I made a twitter account a long time ago. I vaguely remember doing it. My twitter account is: @MrConfuse217 I haven't made a linkedIn account yet, but I will later today. Twitter will be a lot easier to post updates and mini-jalople recordings. I appreciate feedback people. Please post them here with what you think about my 2nd jalople. I am going to stop posting this on WoW forums cause Science and Technology is too small of a crowd. EDIT: So apparently you guys don't like that I put myself out there with twitter and the location of my home. I understand I guess. I had a huge fight with my wife about going on twitter. I am going to get a divorce someday. She doesn't understand me, like most of you probably don't. I just want me own life.
Edited my previous post. Had to bring it back up so people understand that life for me is very hard right now.' EDIT: What is with all the -1s on my posts?
Can someone else please post something that would remotely be a jalople? You don't have to do coordinates or locations if you want to stay anonymous. I really don't think I am the only one in the world experiencing them. Maybe cause I defined it that it happens to always happen to me. I dunno. 0 Feedback makes me believe that either you guys believe this all, or you just shrug it off as pure crazy. Which is it? Do I need to make a poll?
I don't really believe what you're saying at all, but I still find your ideas interesting. Ignore the downvotes, from time to time someone will pop into a thread and downvote everybody.
My jalople: I ate bony fish. Bone pricked my mouth. I learned you should be careful when eating bony fish.
Tis a nice day
To be honest, while reading this thread, I found myself quite lost in your train of thought at times (especially for the first 2-3 pages). Still interesting to try to read though. Would it be considered a jalople that about three years ago in Beijing, China, I bit down on the exact location of a piece of cornbread which I bought at a cheap street vendor to reveal the hairy legs and body of a dead (cooked) cockroach without actually eating the cockroach? If my bite was any smaller, I would not have revealed the cockroach, and if I had bit any further into the bread, I would have ingested cockroach for breakfast. Of course I threw the bread away afterwards and vowed to never buy cornbread from cheap street vendors in China again.

But as for fans not coaches, players, student administrators there were only two: Curt and Chuck Pfaffle of Sachse, Texas. "We just thought we'd check this out," said Curt, a middle-age fellow with boyish enthusiasm. "I love chess." Chuck, his retiree dad, nodded.
"Chess is not a great spectator sport," whispered advisor Rene Garcia, as Curt and Chuck settled in. Rene who has wild, longish hair, wears oversize glasses, and looks vaguely like the Italian actor Roberto Benigni is a veteran of four consecutive Final Fours.
A Cuban immigrant and chess player who is almost as animated and humorous as Benigni, Rene had given me ample warning in the weeks before the tournament. "It's like watching grass grow. Drying paint is more exciting."
He also warned me about the fate of Jose de Cordoba, a Wall Street Journal reporter who dared stray into chess journalism for a story that was published March 5. "The guy really, really wanted to watch Renier play," said Rene, grinning. "He did. And he fell asleep in five minutes."
The sixteen players queuing into the Final Four didn't match the Hollywood stereotype of chess prodigies; they were far from Revenge of the Nerds material. The Duke foursome, sporting low-slung jeans, polos, and Rugby shirts, could have come straight out of an Abercrombie catalogue. The UTD and UMBC teams were also shockingly normal-looking: jeans, polo shirts, T-shirts, Nikes. Some of the UTD players wore team blazers, exuding a shabby prep school effect.
There were, though, two conspicuously odd things about the chess elite. First, there was only one woman in the room, UMBC's Katerina Rohonyan. (This was typical; fewer than five percent of the top 100 players in the world are women.) The other odd thing: MDC's old guys. Alberto, with his MDC polo shirt, and Renier, with his big protruding forehead and receding hairline and short-sleeve, button-down shirt, both reeked of middle age.
At 10:10 a.m. it was, at last, time to play. As the director of the tournament, Francisco Guadelupe, the chess version of an umpire, gave a series of proctorlike admonishments (no cell phones, no talking to coaches or teammates) and assurances (the air conditioning works), two computer guys settled down, ready to report every single move of the match on www.chessclub.com. (Yes, Guadelupe explained, people will be watching and commenting on these matches online all over the world.)
The tournament is a round robin; in the first cycle, Duke and UTD play on table one while Miami Dade meets UMBC on table two. Players seat themselves in order of their World Chess Federation ranking Renier (ranking 2548) at the first board, across from Blehm (ranking 2593). To his left are Alberto and Charbonneau, and Rodelay is paired with Bhatia, a Ph.D. computer scientist. And on the fourth board, Charles stares across at Rohonyan.
After each move, players must punch a clock and then record their decision in algebraic-looking chess notation.
With pencils and paper, Red Bull cans and Starbucks cups on the table, and the casual clothing, it truly felt like the beginning of a test. Strangely, though, moments after this atmosphere was set and the clock was started, UTD's Dmitry Schneider moved a pawn, stood up, and headed to the hallway. This was puzzling. "You got to let them go to the bathroom," explained Rene. "Get ready. It could be six hours."
12:05 p.m.
Most of the players have made at least twenty moves by now, but none of the games is near resolution.
This is no surprise. At this level, there is rarely much drama in the opening game. Players are too smart to make fatal mistakes. During the opening game, they methodically angle for control and try to slice away their opponents' pieces.
In the fourth board match, which pits Charles against Katerina "The Kiev Killer" Rohonyan, not a single piece has been exchanged.
At 12:20, Curt and Chuck, who are patiently watching in the front row, head for the door. Chuck apparently has to go shopping. He can't wait another three hours. Curt, however, seems frustrated. A more advanced player than his dad, he's trying to learn from the masters, thinking it might improve his play. The games, though, are baffling to him. There is only one match he believes he can read. "I think that that guy," he says, pointing to Rodelay, "is looking good."
Very good, but I try to get a better update on the matches from Rene, who played chess avidly in high school and seems fluent in basic strategies such as the Sicilian defense.
"It's too early," he says.
Then UMBC's coach, Igor Epshteyn, leaves the room. He's a former Soviet master and a former coach of the Belarus junior national team; he's also from Minsk, the hometown of Veresov. He surely knows what is going on. "I cannot discuss," he says, frowning at the mere question. Then he admonishes me. "You should not be talking about game during game. Should you? It's not right."
But the other Eastern European coach, UTD's Rade Milovanovic, a champion player from Serbia, is more approachable. "Blehm," he says, referring to The Polish Magician, "has sacrificed a pawn with no known return. Perhaps he is seeking position." He raises his eyebrows at this mystery. "It's not clear."
