What would it be like to live in Halloween Town? Would being surrounded by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches and monsters all the time be terrifying or terrific fun? According the Jack Skellington, it can all start seem a bit routine after a while. When the opportunity arises to experience a new holiday, he is eager to experience it and convinces his fellow residents to all participate as well.
Meanwhile a sweet rag doll woman named Sally, while finding herself attracted to Jack, is also worried by his plans. While she can see that Jack's intentions are good, she is worried that things are happening that he hasn't anticipated that will result in disaster.
With a Jack Skellington costume, you can become the idealistic character that ultimately is able to make everything right. Or perhaps you're more of a Sally. With a Sally costume you can try to keep Jack out of trouble. With either costume, you can enjoy the magic of A Nightmare Before Christmas anytime you want!

Well-written and well read. Unusual for the genre and am looking for other books written by Gillian Flynn and read by Ann Marie Lee. They're great!
The worst. Predictable plot line, lousy writing and worse narration. Plowed through it because I'd paid for it, on principle, and by gritting my teeth.
Lame and predictable. Will avoid reader in future.

Curbed – weekend open house: Industrial-Chic Flip by ReInhabit in Highland Park Asking $689k
Monday, January 12th, 2015Open House: Sunday, Jan 11, 2015 between 1 PM – 4 PM; Tuesday, Jan 13 between 11 AM – 2 PM
6222 Bertha Street, Highland Park
Price: $ 689,000
Beds, Baths: 3 beds, 2 baths
Floor Area: 1,860 sq. ft.
Per the Listing: "New from design+build firm ReInhabit: a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with guest unit tucked into a woodsy corner of trendy Highland Park. Artfully restored from the ground up it has high ceilings, exposed wood beams, oak floors and a custom-built kitchen with concrete countertops and tile backsplash. Original built-ins line the hallways and there are many one-of-a-kind elements including lighting fixtures made from salvaged materials. Upgraded systems include roof, HVAC and a re-stuccoed exterior. Downstairs bonus guest unit features a bedroom, bath and kitchen with its own HVAC zone. There's a huge storage room and oversized 1-car garage with direct access to the home. Outside is a rear patio plus an observation deck, a cool perch to relax or dine while taking in sweeping treetop views. Kitchen Mouse, My Taco, Good Girl Dinette, Pop Physique – the very best of Highland Park is right up the street, a surprise given this quiet and verdant setting."
Score another hit for ReInhabit—as illustrated by its previous listing photos, this property was a depressing, stucco-sheathed horrorshow before the flip firm got its hands on it six months ago (for $ 375,000) and gave it their trademark industrial light and magic treatment. The reincarnated residence seems likely to sell quickly, if the throngs who showed up to its Saturday open house despite the rain are any indication.

D.C. CrossFit affiliates weigh in as District's Council re-examines legislation.
The District of Columbia has paused enforcement of its law requiring licensure of so-called "personal fitness trainers" while it hammers out the details of what, exactly, it's requiring.
The law—most often called the Omnibus Health Regulation Amendment Act—makes D.C. the country's first municipality to require licensure of personal trainers.

Wesco (NYSEMKT:WSC) chairman and Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK.A) other famed investor Charlie Munger never attended classes taught by Benjamin Graham, but he owns a stock that the father of value investing would have LOVED. Munger owns a 9% stake in Daily Journal Corp (NASDAQ:DJCO), a California based publisher of newspapers and websites. Their most notable publications include the Los Angeles Daily Journal, The Daily Recorder, the San Jose Post Record, the Orange County Reporter and the California Lawyer. The company also supplies software systems and court rules manuals.
The Daily Journal has a market capitalization of $99 million and a book value of $68 million as of December 31, 2010. Nearly $64 million of the book value is from cash and short term investments. The company's commercial advertising business has suffered because of a weakening economy and a shift away from publications. Some of this recent decline has been offset by the strong sales related to foreclosure notifications, but in 2011, notifications are expected to decline by 11%. The company also benefited substantially from a decision to switch from cash holdings to stocks and bonds of Forbes 200 companies during February 2009.
Here is the company's historical income data:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | |
Revenues (mlns) | $37.58 | $40.42 | $40.61 | $35.11 |
Net Income (mlns) | $7.67 | $8.03 | $7.11 | $5.32 |

Re: Hole in hull
I did about 50 of these on my boat.
From the outside, countersink the hole a little bit. Sand it smooth with 80-120 grit. Clean with lacquer thinner or acetone on a new rag. Mix up some epoxy thickened with cab-o-sil (or mix some Marine Tex) until it's a thick paste.
Fill the hole well, smashing it deep into the hole. Smear it flat, very flat, with your spreader. At this point you can leave it or sand it smoother and leave it, or you can sand and primer and paint or use gelcoat, it all depends on how good you want it to look.
If it's at or near the waterline, I sanded the repair down as deep as a layer of impregnated fiberglass cloth is thick (about 1mm for 8oz glass) out to about 3" in diameter and then I layed-up a layer of glass over the plug to be certain that it would never leak or fall out.
In reality, I spent about 5 minutes per hole but I was doing quite a few at once.

Thousands of agitated people on Saturday took to the streets in parts of Karnataka, particularly Bangalore, giving vent to their anger over the passing away of the 23-year-old gang-raped girl, demanding stringent punishment for perpetrators of the crime.
A candle light protest was held this evening in Freedom Park where anguished people held aloft placards that read "Enough is Enough", "We demand justice" and "Let her death be not in vain".
Several organisations, including BJP Women's Wing and All India Democratic Students' Organisation, held protests here.
"This is a moment of sadness. We should feel that such an incident (rape) has happened to our own sister, mother. Even if the criminals are punished, this anguish will not go away", Jnanpith Awardee U R Ananthmurthy, who was part of the protest, said.
Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda said the "brave-heart" girl has shaken the nation's conscience.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G. Parameshwara said he supports legislation which sends rapists to the gallows, while JDS leader and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy favoured trial in such cases to be similar to the one carried out in some Arab nations.
Reports of protests came in from several places in the state, mainly in district headquarters.
Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who is touring in Bagalkot districts, expressed grief over the girl's death and urged the Centre to amend laws to provide for stringent punishment to rapists.
Karnataka Home Minister R Ashoka said the state government was contemplating slapping provisions of the stringent Anti-Goonda act against rapists.

A Weird Kids Top 10 - Game Series I Never Get Tired of Playing
on 03.18.2008
There is one problem with the game industry that drives me completely bonkers, the sheer amount of repetition we see in games in the market. It can be argued that every game that weve played over the last twenty or so years is in fact a derivative of some other game that came before it. For example, the Mario that we know and love from
Donkey Kong
was originally known as
, which so happens to be the title of a Commodore 64 game starring a red-suited, object-collecting, platform-jumping hero. While I loved playing both games as a kid, sadly only one of the two characters has lasted to this point. Alas, poor Mr. Jumpman never quite made it past the early days of PC gaming.
Annoying as this trend is, it isnt as horrible as I make it sound, and I think it as quite possibly the one habit that has kept our beloved industry alive for so long. Sequels are made for games that prove to be profitable (look at
for example), while games that make obscene amounts of money are first given sequels of their sequels (
Vice City Stories
), and then put aside to be remade a decade later (Im looking at you Square Enix). With todays Top 10 I hope to tackle this sticky subject and give you the game series that I never grow tired of playing, no matter how derivative the gameplay might be.
Armored Core
I really really really really really really really like giant robot games. I have been a fan of the
Armored Core
series since the very first game that came out for the PlayStation and have been there for each subsequent game that has been released up until the newest one on the PS3 and 360 which I heard might not be that good of a game. Knowing me, Ill still go out and pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.
The fact that you can micromanage every bit of assembling your mech in this game into millions of variants just blew my mind when I was going to high school. I would look forward to re-assembling my ACs all day and all night at work and would spend hours upon hours recreating the designs I came up with. If you take the fact that you could pretty much color your AC any way you wanted AND add logos to it, you have me in front of my small TV for countless hours mastering this series.
Wild Arms
This was perhaps the first RPG that I played on my original PlayStation. I remember going out to buy it one night because
Final Fantasy VII
was taking too damn long to come out. It seemed like your typical sprite based RPG mixed with a Western motif. Surprising thing is that the game was actually a mix of 2D and 3D graphics.
I was sad that the
Wild ARMs
series never got quite the recognition that it deserved. Even sadder is that I picked up a few of the games a week ago for less than $10 each. To me,
Wild ARMs
proved to me that you dont have to have the name Square or Enix in the games introduction for it to be considered a great RPG. Oh and before I forget, the soundtrack for each game is superb, especially in the first game with its Anime/Western introductory piece that set the tone for the entire game.
There might be some of you out there that might argue this games position on my list considering that there were only 2
games ever made Wrong! Dont forget that the game that came out on the original NES had NOTHING to do with the arcade game and the other console games.
The arcade game came out in 1989 and to me is the epitome of how good arcade games were back in the day. The beautiful sprite graphics and sound were some of the best I have ever seen and heard in any arcade game. Theres something about Capcom games from the late 80s and early 90s that give me a woody thinking about them. The last version of
I played was on the PlayStation back in 2000 when he was finally given a sequel to the original arcade game, if you were one of the luck ones to get this game, then you were also lucky enough to get the original
packaged with it.
The Legend of Zelda
One of Nintendos most prolific game series ever created has been been celebrating its success over 10 games, all bearing the
Legend of Zelda
moniker. The story goes as such, youre a peasant boy named Link who is chosen to save the Princess Zelda and restore the balance to the Triforce yeah I know thinking about it made me kinda sad. But the genius is in making the same game each time, you know what to expect. That gives the design staff freedom to take liberty with the story as much as they can.
I personally own 6 Legend of
titles and am not disappointed with a single one of them. There is a ton of fun to be had with each incarnation of the
story because the game developers take the formula and change it just enough that you cant recognize it being the same game weve all been playing for the last 20 years well at least Ive been playing them that long.
The original
scared me when I was a kid. We didnt have the horror games that exist in 2008 like
Silent Hill
, we had games that kinda scared you but ultimately were terribly tame.
might possibly be the worst offender when it comes to repetition. The story for each
involves one of 3 things. First, there has to be an appearance of Draculas castle. Second, there has to be a Belmont in the game somewhere. Finally, skeletons, zombies, medusa heads, and bats must be a few of the things you kill for it to be a true
In my opinion, the game that best epitomizes the
should be a no brainer,
Symphony of the Night
. This game had it all, amazing depth, hidden treasures, secret bosses that are tougher than Dracula, and an unbelievable amount of exploration (especially when you find the reverse-upside-down castle). 2D gaming had seriously reached its zenith with this game, its too bad that the subsequent releases for the DS and GBA have been such blatant rip-offs.
Super Mario Bros.
You know what, Mario is one of those figures in video games that is instantly recognizable. Theres no looking at Mario Mario and confusing him with any other character in the library of gaming. Not only is he the Mickey Mouse of gaming, but his games are generally damn good.
It floors me to think that there will be a generation of gamers that are growing up without
Super Mario Bros.
being THE game that all others are judged upon. If I have anything to say about it though I hope that Ill raise my kids the right way with the NES and all three
Super Mario
games as the primers for their later gaming experiences.
Mega Man
Jesus, what can I say about the Blue Bomber that hasnt been said already. Who would have known that the gameplay element introduced in the original NES
Mega Man
would have spawned five sequels on that system alone and the dozens and dozens of other games and their spin off series.
The game idea was simple but incredibly awesome,
Mega Man 2
will go down in my personal history as one of the greatest games ever made. The music is impeccable, the sprite graphics are lush and detailed, and the gameplay is without a doubt the most fun and enthralling experience I could hope for as a young child with a NES. Sure, every game featured the same formula of some villain with a army of robots trying to take over the world, but it didnt matter cause they are just fun to play.
Street Fighter
I think about all of the money that I have spent collectively in the games that
Street Fighter
has spawned and I weep just a bit. From the original
Street Fighter
all the way to
SVC: Chaos
and even
Puzzle Fighter
, Capcoms fighting game universe started with me all the way back in the arcades with its insanely popular and successful
Street Fighter II
From the moment that I played
in the arcade and had no idea what was going on, Ive been an addict to the Capcom brand of fighting games, forsaking all before them.
Tekken no thanks, [i]Virtua Fighter
Mortal Kombat
had my attention for a bit, but I always find myself coming back to the familiar Forward, Down, Down-Forward + Punch movements that let me proclaim to the world SHORYUKEN! God I love these games.
Metal Gear
Metal Gear
series is typically the same game wrapped up in a different looking skin each time a new one is produced. Sure, the story may be a little different from the original
Metal Gear
and the game we played a few years ago on the PlayStation 2 with
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
, but the spirit of the game is always an infiltration, sneaking, boss fights against unbelievable characters, more sneaking and at the very end a fight against Metal Gear/Villain. Does this make for a bad game? In short, hell no!
Metal Gear
series has always touted itself as one of the most cinematic games ever made and each release has seen a marked improvement in story and gameplay. Kojima is a man who definitely knows how to draw his audience in and entertain them, something that is sadly missing in most games these days.
The idea of
is basically the same for any iteration of the game you might have ever seen or played. The story is basically the same each time, Samus versus the Metroids and Space Pirates. Generally you start each game without any equipment at all (making the player wonder what happened between the last game and the one youre currently playing to have her not come equipped with anything), and struggle your way through the game picking up equipment, power-ups, and health along the way.
The brilliant thing about
is the simulated free-roam mechanic that makes you think that you can go anywhere and do anything you want, but the game hampers you just enough that you dont notice the brick wall you hit. Once suitably powered up though, Samus has free reign over the planet and all that live there. Generally most
games end the same each time, with the Metroids being vanquished and generally the whole planet blowing up.
My favorite of the whole series would have to be
Super Metroid
. The game is just stunning and completely immersing in the way that it is put together. There are very few games that I put up on such a high pedestal and if you have any doubts on whether this series is one of the best ever made, go out and play
Metroid Prime
Super Metroid
one more time just to be sure.
Well, this concludes yet another Weird Kids Top 10 list. I hope you all enjoyed reading it. I know for certain that there are many of you out there that will disagree with some of my choices for this list, but keep in mind that this is in no way a definitive listing nor is it meant to be taken seriously. Its all for fun, just enjoy reading and take something away with you or leave a comment if you so wish.
As always, please let me know if you have a particular Top 10 that youd like to see, and Id be happy to oblige. For all of my faithful fans that do submit ideas, I promise Ill eventually get around to yours. Thank you again for reading. See you next time.

2657 Tasting Notes
I am finishing off the rest of this sample today, it is better than I remember it. I have upped the rating slightly. I love Taiwanese green oolongs perhaps better than any other kind of tea. This one is all sweet green peas and clover with not a stinky flower in sight… :)
Cold brewing this for 15 hours has brought out a lot of buttery notes as well as some gentle lilac ones. If you have this tea you need to try it. Thanks to Charles for the recommendation.
This is only the 2nd black tea I've tries from Vietnam (the other was from TeaGschwender)
I really like this one, it's malty and smooth with a hint of chocolate. A little bit brisk but not too much. I'm enjoying it this morning with some soymilk. If you like assams it is a good one to try. See my previous tasting note.
I'm drinking this now since it's low in caffeine. Its good but I don't totally love roasted twig tea in general.
Thanks so much to QueenofTarts for this sample I've been wanting to try…
This stuff is so weird looking, I mean it's full of husks! There isn't as much rooibos at all in this blend. Perhaps that is a blessing in disguise, I don't know.
I used about 1 tsb in my small $4 Daiso teapot. This definitely needed 5 minutes of steeping time and I think I should have used more of the sample because it was kind of thin. But this is a little teapot that makes only about 8 oz. of tea. It really does smell exactly like chocolate! The taste is… well it's interesting. It's certainly palatable but I don't think I am in love with it. It reminds me of a chocolate liquor or something of that nature. I can't help but wonder if this would be better with something added to it. In any case I will certainly try a resteep soon using more of what I've got!
Wow, really what more can I say about this one? Well, I'll try to say something!
I ordered this on a hunch I would like it just from reading the description. To me this is like oolong perfection in a cup. I've steeped it now for 3 times in the gaiwan and it's a rich, golden tea. Mouthfeel is similar to a really nice gyokuro. Very buttery and rich! The slight roasting I believe brings out the nutty flavor. I am getting macadamia nuts and mangoes, a slight taste of corn.
Upon my initial steep I got a tiny trace of bitterness so I would recommend not oversteeping this one if you can possibly help it.
You can just tell this is a great quality oolong, totally off the charts in my opinion. I have hardly met a formosa oolong I did not like but this one ranks up there very high as one of my all time favorites. Very well done, Asha!
lol – nope, I think you might need the LiShan oolong sativa for that! http://ashateahouse.myshopify.com/collections/oolong/products/li-shan-oolong-sativa
Amy, did you get an oolong sampler? Asha's Ali San & Li Shan oolongs seem highly priced, Most teas like this are though, and I think their prices are pretty competitively priced, based on what I've priced on the net. Oh boy! Now I'm tempted to add another company to my list, and I am trying to not place another tea order till Spring, but this is one I will try…….at some point! :))
He is a little pricey now. I remember buying from him back in September when the Alishan was half the price it is now. I will say though he has to me the best oolong I have had. He gives generous samples when you make an order too.
I would do the tasting kit, if he gets more in. You get a good three tastings and you get to try all three.
Thanks very much to SimplyJenW for sending me a sample of this, I really wanted to try it!
As for me, well I'm not really sure chocolate goes that well in tea. This blend is nice though, it looks like it has some pink flowers in it, I wonder what they are? It has a light cocoa flavor that seems to go well with the black tea base but is ever so slightly "chalky". I did not sense a lot of coconut until I added soymilk to it, which seemed to bring out the coconut flavor for me. I'd definitely have this as a dessert tea but I'm not sure I will buy any when I still have a big tin of Florence, their chocolate hazelnut tea, it's tempting though!
I thought this one was delicious. Very smooth and sweet for a pu-erh tea, I steeped mine in the gaiwan for 30 – 60 seconds each time.
The flavors are fruity, I definitely get the date flavor and aroma, or maybe raisin. The wet leaves are dark and smell of cocoa and the forest. A very rich and earthy cup. Bana gets my vote for some of the best pu-erhs I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I was surprised this one did not do higher in the other ratings. I think maybe pu-erh is an acquired taste…
I needed something to revive me today and this is helping, very uplifting!
So, if I get some sample packs of Puerh teas, you would recommend Bana?!
Do any other companies come to mind for Puerhs?
Scott, send your address and I will send a sample of loose osmanthus puerh from purepuer.com if you like. I want the little gift baskets of puerh tuo cha on the tea gifts page. Too cute!
I do recommend Bana. Verdant also has sampler packs for puerh. And Red Blossom is great for loose leaf pu-erh but no samples.
I got this recently on Amazon.com with a gift certificate someone gave me for Christmas. It was only about 1/2 the price that Tao of Tea sells it for so I would check there first if you're interested in buying one.
This is an interesting bing because it is made of the tea flowers and not tea leaves. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but I think it's good. I steeped it around 175 F for 1-2 minutes each steep. It doesn't really have the taste of a regular pu-erh. It is a lot sweeter, mild, and more melon-y and also a bit floral (duh!). It is a pretty nifty little cake. I am noticing a bit of a pollen aftertaste and since I have allergies it's making me a little paranoid but I don't seem to be allergic to the tea.
Let me know if anyone wants to try it/swap for it!
Sounds amazing! Willing to do to international shipping? If so, I would to try a sample! Anything I have you might like?

Total dissolved solids (TDS) in lake and catchment water is a result of geological structure, as well as duration of rock and water contact and human activity. In this paper, a potential dissolved solids (PtDS) in three Łęczna–Włodawa Lake catchments was determined using extraction and computer software (GIS and AquaChem). Human pressure on water quality was estimated as a difference of the TDS and a catchment hydrogeochemical potential (TPtDS, total potential dissolved solids). TPtDS coefficient included hydrogeological features of the aquifer, soil cover impact on infiltrated water quality, and sediments susceptibility to denudation. The main advantage of the model is a possibility of its employment for every catchment or other areas (e.g. administrative) on both microscale and mesoscale. The highest TPtDS occurred in the catchment, favoured with underground supply, which was located in the vicinity of the Cretaceous mesoregional unit (Chełm Hills). The lowest value was observed in the catchment built with organogenic sediments and coarse material. A seasonal constancy of TPtDS values proved a stability of the lake-catchment systems under study.

We launched leggings! Step into a world of individuality.
Did anyone ever come home?
In the stormy afternoon light, sepia clouds gathered making promises to the dust below that they had no thought to keep. Bare branches of a lone, dying eucalypt reached towards curled shingles on a square, slatted cottage. Windows facing east were long boarded over and the grandest part of the dilapidated building was a huge chimney, the fireplace reaching the height of the ceiling line, with chimney pointing to the sky past the roof apex, almost as though reaching towards an arrow of ducks on their way to greener marshes.
To the casual observer, the building was a bleak, empty shell, at best shielding vermin or snakes from the midday heat. Time was doing its best to erode any life at all from the walls. But one who knows better, perhaps the likes of local psychic Emma Maher, life and love lived there still and perhaps a little bit more.
As fickle as the skies proved to be, fat raindrops began to fall, causing teaspoon-sized craters in the dust around the house. The ducks long gone, the air darkened. Ozone and damp earth combined for that unique aroma of healing and growth. And if anyone had been watching, a glimmer of a candle could be seen through a crack in the boarded windows.
With truly mystical proportions, the sodden dust formed a crust, cracked and moved aside for germinating seeds which had been dormant, just waiting for serendipity. Around the brick foundations, bean shoots began to climb the walls, garlic peeked out from the ground, and a pile of sticks put on its bay leaf clothing. Square indentations a little further to the south of the house, which had suspicious three metre by one-and-a-half metre proportions, took on a less sinister appearance and a healthy crop of tomatoes sprouted to a full ten centimetre height within the hour.
Soon, bluey-grey wisps could be seen curling out from the chimney. As the light faded, the smoke took on a slight luminous tinge, reflecting radiated light from the flames below. A possum and its babies climbed down from the eucalypt and nestled in a hip hole by the chimney, enjoying the warmth of the bricks.
Presently, the slat door of the house opened. A hunched figure in long skirts, blouse and cardigan, hobbled out. Draped over her grey hair was a black, fringed shawl. The old woman wore a gingham red and white apron which she bunched up in one gnarly hand, while leaning with the other hand on a thick gum branch which clearly she had used for an age as her walking stick.
She hobbled over to the tomatoes which impossibly had produced a hearty crop of Roma tomatoes. She picked a half dozen of the ripe fruit then made her way along a path lined in old, handmade bricks. Stopping briefly at the revived bush for some bay leaves, the old woman picked a vigorous bunch of the herb, paused briefly to look at the garlic bulbs along the foundation stones, then decided they were not quite ready to harvest.
"Un'altra ora forse," she mumbled, and she would return in an hour for her cloves of garlic.
She shuffled inside the house again and shut the door firmly. Soon, the smoke from the chimney took on a decidedly delicious fragrance. It seemed such a shame that no one was there to enjoy it.
The clouds having done their work, passed on their way. Night sky revealed a display of the cosmos only ever available to the naked eye in terrain untainted by the synthesis of civilisation. In the north-east, a full, golden moon began its ascent. Somewhere further afield a barking owl let out its strangled cry as it set out on its evening hunt. And almost inaudible was quiet humming of an otava over and over again; repetitive but distinctively cheerful.
While the night drew on and the stars began to disappear, ravenous darkness all around the house only emphasised the warmth within. The cooking was done and noises of cutlery rang clear in the silence.
Finally, a car could be heard in the distance, grinding its way along the nearby dirt road. A late model Ford, nondescript in most ways except to know that it cost a pretty penny, pulled up at a clearing in the road verge, pointing its nose towards the rusty barbed wire fence. The headlights were almost offensive in the peacefulness. The engine cut but no one climbed out at first. At least ten minutes passed before a second car, one a little more upmarket than the first, pulled up beside it. Then engine off, both cars kept their parker lights on. Again, silence, although both cars had their radios on and muffled tones from the respective radio stations could be heard.
Another quarter of an hour passed before the third and final vehicle pulled in. This one, brand new, midnight blue Caprice, pulled in beside the others and switched off. As if on a signal, all the occupants opened their doors and climbed out of their cars, closing their doors quietly and then stood in a long line at the fence. They all wore suits, the women too, and while not ostentatious in their bearing, they had style and affluence.
Yet this gathering was covert. No one ever spoke of it. No one ever had a thought about not coming, each year on the same night, at the same hour. It was a duty, a homage. There was no fear of reprisal for not attending. There was no great joy in participating. It just was.
One of the men carried two crates which he had taken from the boot of his car. He place one on the ground near a post and the other he dropped over the side, then climbed over the fence carefully.
Silently, each of the siblings climbed over the fence, the first man holding his hand out to steady them should they need it. But none ever did. They had been following these steps for thirty years or more.
The youngest, a lawyer with a country town practice of twenty years, cleared his throat.
"Do you think Dad will be here?"
"He's always here," his eldest sister answered absently. Her mind was half on the patient recuperating after a difficult surgery to remove four impacted wisdom teeth.
"We just don't see him. But he's there."
Her sister giggled nervously.
"I wonder if he's still telling the same old stories then," she blurted out, stepping carefully over a brick that had strayed from the path edging.
Her twin brother leaned down after her, picked it up and replaced it respectfully in the hole it had left, wondering how it had rolled out in the first place. A small pile of sheep manure nearby most likely answered the question.
They were all silent for a while as they walked single file towards the house.
"I'm really hungry. This is the only time I get to have cassoulet the way it's supposed to be made," said the second oldest, a son who lectured in economics.
The other three habitually made no comment. The middle daughter felt tears, missing her mother dearly and wishing she could reach out to the woman who had died fifteen years earlier.
Her sister in front reached back without turning and grasped her hand reassuringly, their wedding rings clunking together and chaffing their fingers a tad.
Their brother at the front of the queue stopped and turned to face them all.
"Please, no arguments. No talking shop, even if Mum asks. They don't understand it. That all just makes them feel … well … a bit left behind. And please, try to talk Italian. I know we don't use it a hell of a lot now, but it would make them happy. I don't think it's too much to ask."
The others regarded his face which was lit by the distance parker lights.
The youngest coughed.
"Aw come on. Get real. We don't see each other from one year to the next except today. What the hell else …".
His oldest sister cut in.
"I know what your house looks like now. I see the clothes you wear and the car you drive. That's what they wanted for you. Now look at where we grew up. This is where we all came from. None of use wanted for anything and we still don't. So don't act like a spoiled brat. You've had forty years to grow up, just for one night do as you're told."
"All clear?"
Almost on queue the door opened and light flooded out onto the path.
Their mother stood just outside the door to welcome them.
"Siete qui. Entrato. Prossimo mangi," she said.
(You're here. Come in. Come eat).
Any time of the year the house took on the appearance of a bleak, empty shell.
But on that one stormy night each year, everyone always came home.
In response to Lorraine Creagh's Mazzotti Mansion.
Please let me know if my Italian phrases are off. I have no idea but wanted to include them.
Love it. You fabulously talented lady. Brought tears to my eyes. ♥

Saturday night the Turf Club welcomed the second infestation of local Girl Germs. Like lots of good ideas, it's a simple theme – local musicians paying homage to women in rock. That might mean Kitten Forever taking a pop icon like Beyoncé and making it their own. It might mean Aby Wolf striking perfect pitch of Kate Bush. There's something for everyone, which makes the case that women can't be pigeon-holed – they can rock any genre, any era, any taste.

The Bureau of Land Management has finished trapping 11 wild horses near Carson City it deemed a public-safety threat. They were taken to the Northern Nevada Correctional Center, where they will be prepared for an adoption event March 23 at Silver Saddle Ranch.BLM received several complaints of people feeling threatened by the wild horses, which often cross the Carson River into a more residential area. The trapping has upset residents and activists, who say it's unnecessary and that BLM hasn't considered alternative methods.BLM has said the appropriate management level for horses in the Pine Nut Mountains Herd Management Area is 119 to 179, and that there are nearly 300 there now.

Breeding Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlids
I wish to thank Dr. Martin Brammah email@example.com for allowing me to post this article he wrote. For more detailed information on the care and breeding of Electric Blue Jack Dempseys, go to his website at: http://bluejax.co.uk/default.aspx
Adults JDs select their mates via a process of chasing one another around the tank and lip-locking, both of which are tests of the strength and health of the potential mate. In the aquarium it's best to have pairs of equal size (within a couple of inches) because males tend to be larger and more aggressive and can therefore do serious damage to a female that is much smaller.
Typically with cichlids, breeders obtain pairs by starting with six to eight young fish and rearing them together. Once these fish reach maturity, some fish will pair up and the remaining fish (if they are still alive!) can be rehomed.
This method is fairly guaranteed to provide you with a pair, however there are two problems specific to EBJDs…
Problem 1:
Although it has been achieved, the general consensus is that EBJD x EBJD spawns result in non-viable fry, or at best very fragile fry that require extra special care.
Problem 2:
The procedure currently held as the best way to produce spawns of EBJDs requires pairing an EBJD with a normal JD, a process that is potentially fraught with difficulties. These difficulties can however be overcome.
I list the most common format for breeding EBJDs below:
1) One or more EBJDs are purchased with the aim of getting a male of breeding age.
2) Once the breeder EBJD male has been identified, multiple normal female JDs are purchased and put into the same tank as this male. These females MUST be smaller than the EBJD male, otherwise they are likely to cause him serious damage as a result of their higher aggression levels.
3) With luck, the male EBJD pairs with one of the females and the rest can be rehomed.
4) This pair is allowed to breed and some fry are reared with the hope of getting a female.
Now for some science:
If we call the electric blue gene 'b' and the normal gene (which is dominant) 'B' then the male has the genotype 'bb' and the female has the genotype 'BB'.
If we put this into a Punnet square (below: male on the top row, female in the left left column) then the proportion of each offspring genotype can be seen to be 100% Bb.
b |
b |
Bb |
Bb |
Bb |
Bb |
All the fry will be heterzygous for colouration (i.e. carrying one normal 'B' gene and one electric blue 'b' gene), meaning that they will look like normal JDs, but be carriers for the 'b' gene.
5) To get EBJD fry, a female from this first spawn must be reared to breeding age and then mated to an EBJD male (preferably not her father to avoid inbreeding problems).
This will produce the following offspring proportions:
b |
b |
Bb |
Bb |
b |
bb |
bb |
So 50% of the fry will be Bb and look like normal JDs but carry the 'b' gene for electric blue; and 50% will be bb i.e. EBJDs!
6) At this point the commercial breeders cull the Bb fry and raise the EBJD fry to sell at hugely marked up prices. Whether or not you cull the heterozygous fry, it is important to separate them from the EBJD fry because the heterozygous fry are much more aggressive than their bb siblings and rapidly outcompete them for food, resulting in the EBJDs dying from a combination of stress and starvation.
Other combinations:
If it is possible to get EBJD fry from a male EBJD and a female normal JD, then it should also be possible to get EBJD fry from a female EBJD mated to a male normal JD. The biggest problem here is making sure that the male normal JD doesn't kill the female EBJD as males are much more aggressive than females in both normal JDs and EBJDs; and normal JDs are much more aggressive than EBJDs. I suppose the most important thing would be to ensure that any males placed in the tank with the female EBJD were quite a lot smaller, to minimise the effects of aggression. Even so I would keep a very close eye on proceedings!
The Breeding Tank:
The larger the better. If the male gets too rough, the female needs room to get away. Decorate the tank with at least one cave and plastic (or well protected) plants for cover. Provide a flat rock and perhaps a large plant pot as egg-laying sites. Dempseys will redecorate a tank to their liking once breeding is on the cards.
The addition of floating plants can help to remove unwanted chemicals from the water and will also encourage the growth of infusoria (microscopic organisms which make a great first food for fry). Once free swimming the fry can be left with the parents for a while and fed on newly hatched brine shrimp (although they may take the frozen version) or finely crushed flake. Once the parents lose interest in their brood, the fry should be moved to rearing quarters for growing out. Don't raise more fry than you can reasonably rehome!

Well I went to the local Petland in my area and purchased 2 blue jack's about 2 inches put them in with a mixture of fish. Oscars, managuense, redtail, green terror. Luckily no problems started them all from babies. However there wasnt much activity except for the occasional chase by one of the JD's. I had them for about 10 months now. However I gotten rid of everything except the JD's, green terror and red tail catfish. Once I removed the others I started to notice the JD's pairing up hanging out in one of the ornaments in my tank alot. ALOT!!!! then a few mins ago I noticed about 100 eggs inside. LETS GO!!!!!

I believe we've met before online- anyhow I have an EBJD breeding pair available. Male EBJD and female BGJD both very nice. Several years ago I began raising expensive groups of EB and BGJD from breeders North, South, East and West, I am now down to 1 breeding pair; they have been kept with city water, salt and Amquel only. No RODI, no UV, etc… I have breed them 2x and they are very prolific breeder with 300-400 fry possible if managed well. This has been a very fun and rewarding project and I am now ready to move on to smaill groups of wild caught Africans.
I perfer not to ship fish and expect about $1000 for the pair. This is the first posting I mention offering pair. Anthony- New Orleans- Gulf Coast.-

We were given an upgrade with a suite for the three of us and pleasantly surprised...loved it and the beds were wonderful. The dinner was amazing in the restaurant and priced as we expected. The staff member Eddie went far beyond our expectations in helping us get to the port and back to the airport after our cruise. Excellent help...thanks Eddie!!! would recommend to everyone who has to stop over in N>Y<C.
The hotel was really clean and modern. All of the facilities were available. The staff were quite helpful and always available. It was a bit noisy at times, but that is what you get in a town centre hotel. We had a suite which was very large and comfortable. Stayed 4 nights but would definitely stay here again. We came back at 11pm one night and felt perfectly safe on our ten minute walk from the subway
Parking was under the hotel, but we had to pay 19$ per night as it was owned by another company. The kitchen had all of the appliances for our stay but bizarrely, there were no cups/plates/cutlery
The hotel was very good, located only a 5-7mins walk from Main St. station. The 7 will take you straight to Times Square and back without any problems. The shuttle service was pretty good and if you need any information, the staff will guide you pretty well. The continental breakfast was good, but if you are staying there for a few days as we did, you may get tired of the same breakfast every day. The amenities were pretty good and clean. The hotel is pretty close to the airport, that being said, we didnt hear any plans landing as some ppl mentioned. Give a try and you will love it
double charge my account, and they gave me cooked-up yam.
I think im not the first one to complain about this.... But booking.com clearly charged me inclusive of breakfast, but the hotel's record said breakfast wasnt included in my reservation!!!
Staff and Comfort were Good & I stay at many, many hotels. I use gym, thanks for yours.
No Wi-Fi, Breakfast staff agreed many guests complained and have for quite sometime. Bad! (I had to go to lobby to use Wi-Fi.) Parking - no warning that I can't park, even to check in!! Within 5 minutes exiting my car to go to the checkin desk I got a $35 ticket. Bad!! And no desk person said "quick, go rescue your car." bad! Bad! Sorry, but these problems don't make me want to return.
Close proximity to LaGuadia airport, everything worked as advertised.
No breakfast for early departures before 6.30am
I liked the size of the rooms, the hotel was very spacious and bright. I also liked the fact that we were given an upgraded room because we had an extra person in our party. The restaurant was closing, but they accomodated us.
I couldn't get Internet, some of the members in my party were able to connect, but for some reason I couldn't.
Helpful staff, excellent restaurant on premises, spacious room
My follow-up reservation didn't got through and we have to pay to pay for the on site price rather than the online internet price.
The washer and dryer was a plus and charge reasonable.
The hair dryer was full of dust and it stays on less than a minute. I had to wait for it to cool down and try again. It had delayed my schedule. I informed the front desk and they had finally changed a new one.
Excellent guest relations..staff was hands on and pleasant and helpful. Comfortable, clean room..great buffet breakfast and great dinner at the Magna restaurant.
Walking distance of Citi Field. China Town shopping close.
Area seemed a little rough. Way to many people. Wi-Fi was terrible.
Restaurant, staff, proximity to LaGuardia airport, complimentary airport shuttle, rooms and amenities.
Great room, clean and spacious Good location, 10 mins walk to subway, shops & bus stops even closer, restaurants close by
As this was a suite with cooking facilities, fridge, freezer, dishwasher etc. I was surprised that there were no cooking pots, cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery.
the qualitiy of the bed size of the room
noisy average breakfast bad organised shuttle stuff is not well informed
Clean and comfortable considering the surrounding neighborhood. Staff was friendly and price was reasonable.
Although location is convenient, the area is hectic especially during rush hour. Wifi is free but unstable.
Service was great. I had a problem with the thermostat in my room (no heat). I called the front desk and the problem was fixed immediately.
