The Quincy Voll Stern Dich is a power of the Qunicy that allows their body to absorb the reishi of the environment and boost their own powers to take on a new form.
The Quincy: Vollstandig is a highly modernized and perfected version of the archaic Quincy: Letzt Stil, created by the Wandenreich to modernize and evolve the Quincy's powers. Kirge Opie noted while explaining the ability to Ichigo that Soken Ishida fought to maintain the old teachings of the Quincy, halting their evolution, and that this ability makes the Quincy: Letzt Stil completely obsolete in terms of overall effectiveness and power.
The benefits that the Vollstandig has over the Letzt Stil are immense, as the Vollstandig can be activate and deactivated at will without the Quincy losing their powers in the process. It also gives the Quincy a far greater boost in power and general abilities, making them even more deadly in combat, while also unlocking unique powers that lay dormant. One such power is known as Sklaverei, which allows a Quincy to completely subjugate and dominate local Reishi, and forcefully "enslave" and absorb it into their bodies. This power also proves highly effective against spiritual bodies such as those of Shinigami or Hollows, in which a Quincy using this ability is able to break down the body into pure Reishi and absorb it into their own bodies, taking on the characteristics and general abilities of the absorbed, further increasing their power.
The Quincy: Vollstandig is also generally used in conjunction with a Quincy's weapon of choice, notable examples are swords, bows and modernized weaponry such as rifles and handguns. The overall power of these weapons is greatly enhanced, allowing them to use powerful attacks and, for ranged weaponry, fire enhanced Holy Arrows that are capable of dealing massive amounts of damage.
Another benefit of the Quincy: Vollstandig is that it can seemingly be used to resurrect a dead Quincy who has the capacity and capability to activate it, as it has been used numerous times by high ranking Sternritter Officers to resurrect themselves on the battlefield in order to achieve a second chance. This can also be forcefully activate by the Quincy Emperor Yhwach himself through the activation of Auswahlen, in which he strips the power of one Quincy and gives it to another, forcing the resurrection of the deceased Quincy and activation of Quincy: Vollstandig.
One of the few drawbacks of the Quincy: Vollstandig is that a Wandenreich soldier in possession of a Shinigamis Bankai, through the use of their special medallion, is incapable of releasing Quincy: Vollstandig until the Bankai is no longer in their possession. Another notable drawback is stated by Candice Catnipp and Giselle Gewelle, stating that the Quincy: Vollstandig can be quite taxing on a Quincys stamina, noting that it requires a great deal of training to fully master it's use.
|Pernida Parnkgjas: When Pernida activates its Quincy: Vollstandig, it is granted a set of small pure Reishi Wings. Like all Vollstandig releases, Pernidas is somewhat unique, as he shares the general style of his wings with fellow Elite Guard Members, Pernidas wings appears smaller than his comrades. Under the effects of the Quincy Vollstandig, Pernida gains a powerful boost to his overall power, and this includes Pernidas "The Compulsory" ability, which increased in power tremendously, being capable of breaching through the immensely durable Cage of Life created by Kirio Hikifune. Vollstandig can also be used in order to resurrect Pernida from the dead, should the need arise, giving it a second chance on the battlefield.
|Bambietta Basterbine: Her Quincy: Vollstandig, like all memebers of the Sternritter, is unique in appearance. Upon activation she gains a large set of Reishi wings and star shaped halo above her head, in keeping with the general Vollstandig motif. This transformation increases the power of her "The Explode" greatly, as she is now able to generate small Reishi orbs beneath her wings and fire them out like small projectiles towards her target, ensuring that no area is untouched by her barrage.
|As Nodt: His Quincy: Vollstandig is called Tartarforas, and upon it's release, it transforms his body greatly, causing his standard clothing to disappear and become replaced by a large robe with the appearance of decaying and emaciated skin, showing a large prominent stitch line down the midsection of his torso. His body appears highly emanicpated through this robe, showing his highly prominent rib cage. His Reishi wings take on a very different appearance than that of his fellow Vandenreich soldiers, appearing as a partial circle of barbed thorns floating just behind his back, and with the wings he also gains a halo like star that floats above his head. His arms appear to be covered in his black fear substance, and his eyes are fully rolled into his head to give him a truly intimidating and frightful appearance.
|Liltotto Lamperd:
|Kirge Opie: Biskiel
|Pepe Waccabrada: Gudoero
|Gerard Valkyrie: When Gerard activates his Quincy: Vollstandig he gains a relatively large set of reishi wing. Like all members of the Sternritter, Gerards Quincy: Vollstandig is somewhat unique in that his wings, like his comrades in the Elite Guard, take the appearance of an angelic set of feathery white wings. Under the effects of his Quincy: Vollstandig, Gerards power increases exponentially, the effect is currently has on his bestowed power is unknown.
|Robert Accutrone: Grimaniel
|Meninas McAllon: When Meninas activates her Quincy: Vollstandig, she gains a set of Reishi Wings and a star shaped halo above her head, a shape similar to the Wandenreichs symbol. Her wings are unique like all other Quincys, and they take the shape of 3 hearts lined up side by side to form a wing shape. Aside from a general increase in power for a Quincy, Meninas has not displayed any special or notable boosts under the effects of Quincy: Vollstandig.
|Mask De Masculine: When Mask activates his Vollständig, he gains a noticeable cape on his back made of pure reishi that doubles as a set of wings, and a star shaped halo above his head, and two smaller wings emerge from the tip of his star shaped scar on his chest. In this form his power is increased exponentially and the large cape on his back allows him to fly through the air at high speeds. It also gives mask access to his most powerful Quincy ability.
|Candice Catnipp:
|Lille Barro: When Lille activates his Quincy: Vollstandig he gains a large set of reishi wing. Much like all members of the Sternritter, Lilles Quincy: Vollstandig is unique in that his wings take the appearance of an angelic pair of feathery white wings. Under the effects of his Quincy: Vollstandig, Lilles power increases exponentially and allows him to use the stronger abilities linked to his "The X-Axis" .

weed block
This year I used gypsum to acidify my clay soil as directed by the local garden shop then added top soil and finally added Miracle Gro Garden Soil. Then I lay down a black plastic WEED BLOCK*. this not only solarizes the underlying garden soil but truly does keep wees out.
The main problem, however, is that I am not able to sufficiently water my veggies.I found that I have had to pull it off my WEED BLOCK to allow for sufficient watering of veggies.
Has anyone else had similar problems with WEED BLOCK the product??
I don't recommend the use of weed blockers in the garden for a number of reasons, but you experienced one of them. They aren't all that great at letting water through. As Dave suggested, soaker hoses underneath take care of that problem.
The other problem that I have had with them is if I use the thin, woven, fabric types they simply tear easily and weeds can go right through them. The heavier stuff is better at this, but fertilizing and watering become a pain and weed still grow under it and peak out wherever a hole or slit was cut for a plant.
A solution to this is pile on an organic mulch over the weed block, but the question has to be asked: If one is going to pile on an organic mulch anyway, what beneficial purpose does the weed block serve? LOL
Use black plastic next time, the 6 mil stuff from the hardware store. Before you lay it down, take a power drill with a 1/8th inch bit, and drill a number of rows of holes right through the entire roll of plastic, about 3 inches apart in both directions. When you unroll it, you'll have a beautiful network of holes for the rain to pass through, yet you'll find that they're still small enough that virtually no weeds will grow through the holes -- on a 100 x 100 foot garden, when I do this, I might get a dozen little weeds making it up through the many tens of thousands of holes.
Last year was a disaster for me because of the weeds. So I decided to try the plastic solar mulch this year. I love it!
Did you drill holes in yours? I drilled small holes in my mulch before I unfolded it and laid it on the garden. I ended up laying soaker hoses on top for watering, but will place them under the plastic next year.
Because of the holes I drilled in the solar mulch and the 12-inch opening around each plant, I have an easy time watering. Any time water pooled up on the solar mulch, I poked another hole to let it drain into the soil.
I have also mulched the 12-inch opening with compost to keep the grass and weeds from growing in around the plants. Some weeds do poke up in the holes every now and then, but they are easy to pull.
GrafixMuse's Garden Spot
I suggest you try the bio-intensive method of planting (similar to square foot gardening). The vegetables are planted using the recommended spacing between plants in BOTH directions. No rows, and minimal weeding. I really do mean minimal! Plus you save enormously on soil amendments and water.
I must add my voice to those in favor of organic mulches and against any sort of plastic--and Miracle-Gro, too, for that matter. Both products are harmful or downright deadly to soil microorganisms and invertebrates and these are the guys that really are helping to produce (from organic matter in the soil) the nutrients your plants need. Plastic prevents the soil from "breathing" and where I have had to deal with correcting problem beds for others, in removing the plastic mulch the soil under it is compacted and sour-smelling.
As far as using landscape cloth such as WEED BLOCK, it is my personal experience (and I have seen this time & again in many sites) that when weed seeds inevitably blow or are washed into or otherwise deposited in an area covered with such material, the seeds germinate and send their tiny feeder roots down thru the fabric into the soil. If you try to remove these, it is nearly impossible, and many weeds, when roots are left behind, will re-sprout. Now, weed seeds will arrive atop ANY mulch, but at least if/when they germinate in an organic mulch, they may be removed effectively, root & all.
I suppose landscape cloth may have it uses somewhere but I think that for most gardens and gardeners it is a greatly misused and ineffective material. Just my opinion!
My suggestion: thick layers of B&W newsprint covered with whatever local mulch is plentiful & cheap in your area. Over many years this is what has worked wonders in many gardens with which I have been involved.
Here is a link that might be useful: More opinions in GW about WEED BLOCK
Weedlady, I agree with you in principal. I really do feel bad when I go out and buy $400 worth of black plastic sheeting at Lowe's or Home Depot, because I know that its made from imported oil.
I am NOT contributing to landfills at this point, because I just keep layering my plastic, new over old, which I find works really well for me. I know that that is just a delusion, because someday, maybe not me, but someone, is going to scrape up all of that old plastic and landfill it.
But, the thing about it is, it's just not possible for me to cover the amount of ground I want to cover with organic mulch. I've been going around spring and fall and gathering bags of leaves from my neighborhood, about 1000 total per year, and using that on my perennial borders, around trees, etc. But, as a very serious gardener with 2.2 acres and not much lawn left, the need for mulch is greater than my ability to gather, process, and use it. So, that leaves me covering close to an acre with black plastic. That seems to be the most practical solution to date for me.
As far as the state of soil under the black plastic, you are correct, it doesn't help it long term. My solution is to pull the plastic back every couple of years, topdress and amend the soil, till, and then put the plastic back. Not an ideal solution, but the best working solution to date for me.
I just wanted to throw that out there as an explanation.
Posted by makete Mi's U.P.:
Solar mulch? Can you explain it to me?
So sorry, I should have explained. I purchased my solar mulch here:
Johnny's Selected Seeds Solar Mulch Search Results
I used Product ID: 9738 and I will be reusing mine for years to come, but they also have one that is biodegradable too (product ID: 9833). It's made from corn starch-based raw material.
GrafixMuse's Garden Spot
First on solarizing:
If you are solarizing, clear plastic is better than black. It allows for the rays to get through and kill the sprouts, exposed roots and seeds. You want a solar oven, not a solar heater - the difference between using clear and black plastic. You may have noticed that when you peel back black plastic, there are still viable weed roots underneath.
Don't use the thickest clear plastic. It will break apart faster. Unfortunate, the process cooks everything and when you are dealing with a weed like bermuda grass, you really want to cook everything. For solarizing you need a small gap between the ground and the clear plastic. Don't forget to water before sealing it all down. You know it is working when all the vegetable mass turns completely brown.
On vegetable weed mamnagement:
I wouldn't use any type of solarizing product too close to my veggie plants. Have you thought of using newspaper, cardboard, or pieces of old jute-based carpet for weed block around your veggie plants? These materials won't make a heat island around your plants like exposed plastic will. They will allow for air and water to get to the roots. Newspaper inks are soy-based, except for some of the colored inks and it won't hurt your ground, yet it will deter the weeds. Newspaper will eventually breakdown. I add it to my poultry litter compost pile when I don't have enough brown material for my compost pile.
Lay newspaper sheets down thickly and wet them to keep them down.
I have had old-timers tell me about using old jute-based carpet. I have seen it work. There is nothing wrong with using recycling materials like this unless your aim was for a pretty, picture perfect-looking garden plot like you see in some magazine or advertisement.
When I started my garden years ago, I put down the very same porous black plastic weed block on the outside perimeter of my garden area. You can forget about it keeping bermuda grass out and Johnson grass will make a joke out of it too. I have had creeping charlie pop through it as well.
However, when you are using this type of black plastic mesh, you need to bury this stuff an inch or two for it to allow water to get through. I suggest to save the black mesh for using around trees and bushes and look into some alternate barrier methods for weed management.
It seems most don't realize there are pros to pulling weeds. It loosens the soil andd allows for more root growth of your veggies. Along with this, the weed releases a chemical message about its survival that the other plants around it pick up. Ever notice how the weeds you missed seem to mature/go to seed faster after you have done some extensive weed pulling? This chemical message is also picked up by your veggies, which this "hurry up and grow" message will help your plants along to producing fruit.
And the biggest pluses of them all ... you got to toned some muscles and burned some extra calories in the process. And then there is this wonderful release of energy to pulling and conquering weeds, especially when you have been stewing for weeks with the urge to bonk that idiot that you have to deal with at work all the time.

In response to:
Thank you for this. It is comforting to know someone is catching on. As Thomas Sowell said: "Do not for one moment think that we are either intellectually or morally superior to those Germans who put Hitler in power. We have been saved by our institutions and our traditions-- the very institutions and traditions that so many are so busy eroding or dismantling, whether in classrooms or court rooms or in the halls of Congress and the White House."
First, the good. ... ***Thank you*** I"m tired of the "win elections" by letting America suffer argument, pretending that alone is ethical or a strategy. It is neither. Democrats have planned for the collapse of Obamacare. In fact it *is* the plan. Too many of the GOP establishment, eager to kick any dissent in the teeth, refuse to acknowledge what is pretty well documented fact. If they don't create a strategy around dealing with the Obamacare collapse we can add this health care fight to 100 years of steady, solid progressive ascension as the Republican Party yells at internal dissent. Chess. I've been saying this for some time. "Win elections" is a hope, not a strategy. And the chess masters of the GOP refuse to grasp that. It's a shame a good piece like this was tainted with... "circular firing squads and playing checkers during a game of chess need to step up too" "There's a perverted sense of satisfaction in sitting on the sidelines, arms folded, while what you said would happen happens. These Tea Party groups are quite good at it" ... *especially* given that is precisely what the GOP establishment supporters have been doing in force the last few days. You're still in circular firing squad mode when you say 'hey you guys really suck but let's all get together'. If you don't want tea party help, just go full McCain. If you do, less condemnation while ignoring the exact same behavior (and worse) from Fraternal Order Republicans, please. Still, thank you. If the "strategy" for Obamacare collapse is 'let it' without plans *including condemnation of Democrats*, we should resign ourselves to socialized medicine and the final step in Democrat rule.

I agree with most of the other reviews written about this hotel. Our room had a huge balcony overlooking the main road which made it noisy for sleeping - but the view was well worth it. We spent quite a bit of time sitting out there and watching the crazy traffic and street life from a distance. The breakfast is terrible - almost not even worth going for. The reception staff are extremely helpful and they will point you in the right direction for good restaurants in the area.

If all else fails, I snack on fresh fruit and think that if I give in to a cigarette just because someone annoys me, then I'm allowing them to win because not only am I becoming stressed, but I'm putting dangerous chemicals in my body that only damages my smile & quality of life! I want to enjoy life & explore this world until my last breath. I certainly don't want to drag around an oxygen tank while I'm trekking through the Andes Mountains! We only have this one body, we must take of it, 'cause no one else will! -Star M. | Pleasant Grove, Alabama, USA

Kevin George Wood
Kevin George Wood
May 18, 1936 - October 9, 2013
Kevin Wood, a longtime South Bay resident passed away on October 9th with his family by his side following a brief illness. He was an attorney specializing in family law and general litigation In Redondo Beach from 1975 until 2011.
Born in Long Beach in 1936, Wood was a 1953 graduate of Saint Anthony's High School. Prior to attending college, Wood served as a Staff Sergeant in the
U.S. Marine Corps
from 1955 to 1960, first as an electronics instructor at MCRD San Diego, then as a guard at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France.
After leaving the military Wood earned a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from UC Berkeley in 1964 and a Master of Arts in Physics from Long Beach State in 1968. He married his college sweetheart, Carol Dennerlein, in 1963. Wood worked as an engineer-physicist specializing in research and development for several companies, most notably Hughes Aircraft where he designed traveling wave tubes from 1967 to 1976.
While working full time at Hughes, Wood attended law school at night earning his Juris Doctorate from Loyola School of Law in 1975. He passed the California State Bar Exam immediately after and went into private practice, providing individuals and small businesses with conscientious and meticulous service. His clients appreciated his high principles and caring attitude, which helped him earn Martindale-Hubbell's Highest Rating for Legal Ability and Ethics.
During the early eighties, Wood served as the Technical Marketing Manager for Atomika Instruments Inc., a German owned manufacturer of secondary ion mass spectrometers. He later served as lead counsel for the Women's Professional Volleyball Association from 1995 through 1997.
Wood was well regarded for his wacky and acerbic wit. He loved old movies, classical music and foreign languages, of which he was conversant in five. His greatest joy was supporting the athletic and academic achievements of his daughters and granddaughters, and he was known for his booming voice at local high school, club, college and beach volleyball games.
Kevin will be greatly missed by his wife of fifty years, Carol; his daughters, Christi Flentie (Larry) and Alison Lamberson (John); his granddaughters, Madeline Flentie, Josephine Lamberson and step granddaughter, Kaylee Whitworth; his brother, Kerry (Sarah) and loving in-laws, nephews and a host of long-time friends.
A beach casual Memorial Service celebrating Kevin's life will be held November 3rd at 3 p.m. at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes Estates. In lieu of flowers those who desire may make memorial donations in Kevin's name to the Providence TrinityCare Hospice Foundation Palliative Care Fund at:

I have this same pale without a spigot.
And bought a spigot
I am wondering how high from the bottom I should drill the hole. Does anyone have a measurement.
I will sometimes ferment in the bucket and then transfer to secondary
Many times I will ferment in my DIY fermenter and bottle right from it. I would like to be able to do this without sucking out the trub.
I currently have 6 buckets which all have spigots on them. The holes vary from 1 1/2 '' to 2 1/2 '' up from the bottom. For bottling I use the ones which are 1 1/2' from the bottom and utilize a dip tube to drain it dry. I use a dip tube in the others as well... for big beers with a lot of trub and yeast I use the ones which have the spigots 2 1/2'' up and turn the dip tube to the side and cant the bucket a few degrees away from the spigot. Works like a charm. Good luck.
Easy to make a dip tube for the inside... http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/bott...ebrewer-94812/ or buy this: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/INVER...-P179C104.aspx and or this: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/TRANS...-P172C104.aspx

Creating Momentum And Movements
by Prodeep Bose, Elizabeth Elfenbein on Oct 21, 10:00 AM
It's hard to pin down when it all began, but today there is a plethora of awareness months for a range of different causes, including many disease states. The disease-focused awareness months aim to raise funds for research, as well as share information on the cause, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a specific disease. They are usually sponsored and promoted by major charities in partnership with public service organizations and medical associations.

Can Games Fix American Healthcare?
by Shaun Quigley on Oct 18, 9:14 AM

It will soon be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, debated by talking heads, and contested on couches and in coffee shops across the land as the 2012 election unfolds.

What Secrets Are Your Customers Telling Google?
by Chris Iafolla on Oct 11, 12:00 AM
When you meet a new friend, it's unlikely that you would walk in the front door of their house the first time you visit. Instead, you'd probably ring the doorbell and wait to be invited into their home. You might follow this same pattern for a few months of visiting -- ring, and then enter. But eventually, as you grow comfortable with your budding relationship, you would probably let yourself in when you arrive. The same principle applies in social media.

Orange County resident Larry Bjornson published his first book, "Wide Open," with Penguin Group-Berkley Books in paperback and electronic form this month.
Bjornson's book follows the tail of Will Merritt's fateful summer in 1871, where secrets, romance, and tragedy transform his life.
The historical fiction novel takes place in Abilene, Kansas during the height of cattle shipping, where Wild Bill Hickok must tame unbridled cowboys and settlers destroying the town.
Bjornson takes his readers on a journey to the Wild West in detail and historical accuracy.
Bjornson is a former resident of Tustin, and a graduate of Sycamore Elementary, Foothill High School, and UC Riverside.
Although he spent 25 years living in Orange County, Bjornson had close connections to North Dakota, where his family had owned a farm for three generations.
His ties to the Great Plains explain his knowledge of cattle shipping and his desire to tell this historical tale.
Bjornson's grandfather once played violin for Buffalo Bill, a close friend of Wild Bill Hickok who appears in his novel.
When he is not writing, Bjornson is a marketing consultant for a yacht dealer in Newport Beach. Although no book signings have been scheduled as of yet, Bjornson will be attending the all-class Foothill High School reunion in early August in Tustin.
Here's what he shared about his work:
Q. How did you come up with the concept for the book?
A. For a time, I lived in Tempe, Arizona, and one afternoon while wandering around in the library at Arizona State University, I stumbled across a collection of books inside a chain-link cage on the fourth floor.
I went through the cage door and asked the librarian in charge about the imprisoned books. She said they were a collection of rare books about the American West, most of them out of print and unusually hard to find.
The books could not be checked out, but they could be read within the cage. Over the next few days I became increasingly fascinated with this collection.
I was part of a generation that had grown up with a steady diet of Hollywood westerns on TV and in the movies, and now I wondered what the reality of places such as Abilene, Dodge, and Tombstone had been.

Speed, Lust, and a Second Chance (Siren Publishing Classic)
Posted March 15, 2012
I loved the unique characters in this story. I am so used to eve
I loved the unique characters in this story. I am so used to everyday jobs for characters- authors being among my favorite, but a Texas cowboy who flies planes and a plane designer are just a freaking awesome combination. Abbie is such a lovable character, especially when she's on the ranch living Kyle's life instead of the city life she is from. Kyle is equally intriguing with his Texanisms and use of terms like "fishie food" and "Girlie."Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Speed, Lust and A Second Chance is a really quick read and perfect to read outside on a hot sunny day or inside on a stormy day. The characters are lovable and original. And if you like a little steam, you'll find that here too. The story has several original and fun sex scenes; it's never too pornographic and always a fun setting. While lust may be something that is expected to develop when a male and female partner together, Abbie and Kyle find a lot more than just casual sex as they team together to try and win the Gran Prix title after the first plane race ends in a crash. As for if they stay together or win the Grand Prix in the end- well, read the book yourself to find out.

General, Palermo

At the airport or hotel, get a copy of Un Ospite a Palermo. A hundred page free book that comes out 6 times a year, with current events, hotels, exhibitions, Restaurants, Museums, Galleries, Historical Buildings & Churches, and Monuments. Also Timetables, openings, and postage rates are included. It is Bilingual - Italian and English
Museo Geologica Gemmellaro on Corso Tukory is a nice small museum. Moved here in 1985, A cut above some of the other small museums in Palermo and worth the 3 Euros. Lots of fossils and diagrams to make sense of 270 million years of Sicilian natural history, even if you don't know much Italian. Go to the top and see the cute little Pigmy Elephant in the Elephant room. Also, on exhibit is the "Thea" human cave skeleton and a room devoted to her environment of 14,000 years age. Allow 20 - 40 minutes.
La Kalsa is one of the oldest section of Palermo, mostly built during the Arab domination. It was heavily bombed during World War II and since a few decades ago it was so poor and degraded that, during a visit, Mother Teresa proposed to the town to build one of her mission there.
The town took shame over this and since than this area have been restored a lot and it is now becoming a vital center for culture and arts.
a cultural festival called kals'art take place here every year.
Sicily is an island, and Palermo is the main city of it: you are not allowed to miss the beaches, but..... Take care of pollution: unfortunately, waters may be severely polluted in the areas close by Palermo, as an example, the famous Mondello beach is no more open for swimming.
I suggest you drive all the way to Riserva dello Zingaro natural conservation area, or even to San Vito lo Capo (100 km west of Palermo), where the sea and the sand are almost Caribbean style.
The fascinating Kalsa quarter, designed and constructed by the Saracens, was home to the emir during the Arab period. However, after a massive WWII bombing attack, it became one of the city's most destitute zones and it's many beautiful monuments fell into neglect. Only recently have these weathered architectural masterpieces been rediscovered and restored .
Kalsa is the most obviously Moorish district in Palermo. It was originally a fortified town where 10th century emirs held court, and the name Kalsa itself derives from Arabic: Al Halisa, 'the Elect'. Even today local residents speak in a dialectal variant full of unique sounds, such as the aspirated initial of the name of the district. Instead of the 'K' in Kalsa, they say Hausa.
Palermo is the fifth Italian city by number of inhabitants. It's incredibly rich in life and signs of cultures left by the many populations that have dominated Sicily in the course of history. The best seasons to visit the city are spring and autumn, while summer is much too hot to go around and visit monuments, if you have an eye for architecture. Winter is usually not so cold, with temperatures very seldom going below 10 degrees Celsius. The list of things to see includes: the Cathedral, an awesome masterpiece of XIII century. Particularly rich when looked at from the road, it's a bit poorer when you step indoors. You can't miss the traditional markets of Vuccirìa and Capo, where they sell vegetables, meat and fish. Colours made immortal by the Italian painter Renato Guttuso in a famous picture of his, the shouting of sellers, the people swarming to and fro, the smell of the goods will compose an unforgettable image of Sicilian life, a sort of icon that must not be taken as the only specimen of life in the place. Piazza Marina (Marina Square) and the Kalsa are one of the beating hearts of the old city, with narrow stone-paved streets and the ancient palaces of noble families towering with their baroque architecture. Many of them have been abandoned since the World War II bombing of the city that destroyed the buildings well beyond the possibility of repair of noble but, by then, poor families. Skeletons through which you can see the sky...sort of moving, some feeling of past glory coming from those holes. The church of the Gancia is very close, the only sample of Romanic architecture in the area, dating back to XII century when the island was under the Arabian influence. Palazzo Abatellis hosts the National Gallery where you can, among others, admire pictures by Antonello da Messina, Mabuse and many others. You can also find the incredible Trionfo della Morte (Triumph of the Death). But by now you'll be hungry, of course. A very nice stop is the Focacceria S. Francesco where you can find the traditional 'sfincione' (sort of pizza, but softer and thicker, with tomatoes, anchovies, pecorino cheese, onions, breadcrumbs), the 'pani ca' meusa' (bread filled with veal spleen and lung fried in lard, you can eventually add ricotta or lemon juice), the 'panelle' (small deep-fried sqaures of chick-peas flour) the 'crocchette' or 'cazzilli' (deep fried small rolls of mashed potatoes with parsley and garlic) and much more... After that it would be nice to try a traditional ice-cream at Gelateria Ilardo, along the Foro Italico. Only two hints: the 'pezzo duro scurzunera e cannella' and the 'gelato cassata'. The first is a block of ice-cream (not creamy at all), the white half tastes the jasmin flowers, the red one tastes cinnamon. No more comments. The cassata is composed by a layer of pistachio , one of almond and a very thin of strawberry...then comes the chantilly cream. But it's time to go and visit the Cappella Palatina. Then the beautiful church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti with its pale red Arabian domes and palm trees around. Then down again to see the Martorana (same style as S. Giovanni) and the beautiful Piazza Pretoria with its fountain and the statues (the square was called Shame Square because of the nudity of the sculptures). On the square you can see Palermo Town Hall. Then head for the Teatro Massimo, one of the most beautiful theatres of Europe, recently re-opened to the public after a 25-years-long restoration. Walk down the Via Ruggero Settimo towards the Teatro Politeama and enjoy the sight of Piazza Castelnuovo and the second theatre of the city. A quick look at the sea and Via Liberta', with its trees and its shops, is your new scenery!
Along the route you'll feel the differences compose themselves in a picture of unique beauty. Old palaces, stone-paved narrow streets open up on modern sights of boutiques and everything the progress has given our society. A contrast that shows many of the paradoxes of Sicily.
There are so many things to see and do in Palermo: the Cathederal is a must - the little tourist stall outside has great souveneirs and are happy to take any currency. You should also visit the Massimo Theatre which is one of the oldest In Europe and if you are lucky enough to get a look around you can see one of the scenes where the God Father filmed.
A visit to Mondello beach and square is a must- if you walk further past the shops there are lots of wee gift shops with some lovely jewellery as well as the ceramics shop of Nino R..
There is the famous San Francesco bakery where you can go and try Milze which is made of similar ingredients as Scottish Haggis. It has been open for years and is near the famous Vuceria market.
There is really so much to see and do, if you want more specifics please email me as I LOVE talking about Palermo!
Sicily is like a historical theme park, with its Greek temples at Agrigento, Roman mosaics at Piazza Armerina and Norman cathedrals in Palermo and Monreale. But amid all the splendour and glory of the successive ages of Sicily, the best is perhaps the simplest: Antonello da Messina's incomparable painting of the Annunciation in the National Museum in Palermo. Old Cliffie always makes a point of visiting the museum to look at the painting whenever he is in Sicily.
its unique series of Baroque and Arabo-Norman churches, the unparalleled mosaic work and excellent museums are also the equal of anything on the mainland.

Dona Nobis Pacem
by Willa Okati
Mute saloonkeeper Donnell knows all about prejudice; he's had to battle it all of his life. He also knows how self-righteous and judgemental the people of the old west town of Nazareth can be, so he isn't surprised when he sees them spurn requests for work from a man who walks into town looking to be all but on his death bed. Donnell takes the man in and nurses him back to ...more

Dona Nobis Pacem is one of those lost pearls that sometime you find; a lost pearl is a book you start thinking to read a nice and good novel (since you like the author and the publisher), but maybe a bit on the average side. You start it maybe on the brink of sleep, already with half mind shut down for the night, and soon realize that you are reading something different, that this is not your usual average novel, that you have on your hand a special romance.

It was the title of this book, which jumped out from a long list of book titles, that made me first investigate what Dona Nobis Pacem was about. Then I liked the idea of both a historical 'wild west' setting and a hero with a disability. It turned out that this book had quite a lot going for it, but also had a few faults.

I must admit to having a bit of a problem reading M/M romances set in historical times. Not because I don't love history or M/M -- I love both. The story's plausibility becomes the focus for me, especially when or if the mores of our times are applied to a historical period. For example, the total, unquestionable acceptance of a M/M relationship by one or more characters when the story is set in times of yore, becomes a tough one to buy. Of course, it all depends on the culture and time period b ...more

Dona Nobis Pacem by Willa Okati takes place during the nineteenth century in the American West. The story setting is the town of Nazareth during the decline of the gold rush boom and the beginnings of townships with the arrival of doctors, lawyers, bankers and their families to the settlements.
The story is told from the perspective of Donnell, a mute saloon owner born of a whore who died shortly after giving birth to him. Bettina, a fiery wisp of an Irishwoman who raised Donnell and taught him h...more

Donnell is the mute owner of the Saloon and the son of a whore -- he's an unexpected hero -- and Nathan is sweet but, well... you'll have to find out about him. I can tell you I loved both the sexual tension between them and their coming together. A western set during the goldrush in a town where there are still miners and whores, but where preachers and "respectable" people are just moving in.

Jagger tells of 'very hard year'
- From: AAP
- July 20, 2014
MICK Jagger has spoken publicly for the first time about his "very hard year" following the death of his girlfriend L'Wren Scott.
THE Rolling Stones frontman said he had "a lot of support" from his family and friends after Scott's sudden death.And Jagger, 70, revealed that it was working with his bandmates that helped him come to terms with the fashion designer's tragic death. In an interview with NBC's Today show about the new James Brown biopic Get On Up, which he co-produced, he said: "I'm doing OK. It's difficult, you know, a very hard year". "But I got back into it by working and touring with the Stones around Europe and doing other things, including doing this great movie." The legendary rocker said he had received "a lot of support" from friends and family in the wake of the tragedy, adding: "I appreciate that". The interview, aired in the United States, comes four months after Scott, 49, was found dead in her New York apartment. The fashion designer, who had been in a relationship with Jagger for 13 years, was a red carpet favourite and her dresses were worn by Hollywood stars including Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz. But she reportedly owed nearly STG4.6 million ($A8.40 million) to creditors at the time of her death. * Readers seeking support and information about suicide prevention can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467.

Weightless (All Time Low song)
|Single by All Time Low
|from the album Nothing Personal
|March 24, 2009
|Pop punk, alternative rock
|Alex Gaskarth
|All Time Low singles chronology
"Weightless" is a song by American pop punk band All Time Low and the first and lead single from their third studio album Nothing Personal (2009). The single was released through Hopeless Records as a digital download on April 7, 2009, and was released in the UK on August 3, 2009.[1] The song is also available to download on the music video games Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5. It became the first song by the band to receive radio airplay, exposing the band to a new audience, and helping it peak at No. 104 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a live staple, and is considered to be one of their signature songs along with "Dear Maria, Count Me In". In 2014 the song was certified Gold by the RIAA.[2]
Lead vocalist Alex Gaskarth stated in an interview with MTVu that "The whole mentality of the song is like, you feel like you're stuck in this like, negative space and you just want to get out. Summer's rolling up and uh, everybody's finishing up with school and everybody's getting like the exam beatdown".[citation needed]
In the Nothing Personal album trailer, Jack Barakat said that the song is about not wanting to grow up and just wanting to be a kid.[citation needed]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Weightless" commenced filming on May 20, directed by Matthew Stawski.[3] Fans were invited to go on the set and be a part of the music video. It debuted on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and HITS the day before the album's release, on July 6, 2009.[4][5] The video features cameo appearances by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy and Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 with a joke that Pete Wentz tweets (on mobile Twitter) that All Time Low rips off Fall Out Boy, but Mark Hoppus thinks to himself that both All Time Low and Fall Out Boy rip off Blink-182. The camera follows the action through the venue, with text that is insulting everyone, stating "Loser!". The video ends with the slogan Nothing Personal, which is not only a reference to the album, but is also the theme of the video.[3]

Tech News & Commentary
The adage that video killed the radio star appears to be untrue, at least when considering Yahoo's (YHOO) CEO on a quarterly conference calls with Wall Street analysts.
Yahoo on Tuesday became the first company that I can think of — please let me know if there are others — to put its CEO and CFO in front of a camera to talk about quarterly earnings results.
CEO Marissa Mayer and CFO Ken Goldman read their scripts as though they were newscasters, sitting behind a glass-topped desk and talking directly to the camera. You might have expected them to throw to the weather guy, but instead they just took questions from analysts. Mayer posted a pre-air photo on her Tumblr blog.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. Getty Images View Enlarged Image
Yahoo's video effort is part of a trend that's expanding on the traditional Q&A conference phone call with analysts. In Q1, real estate data company Zillow (Z)executives answered questions from people via Twitter and Facebook (FB). Netflix (NFLX) will on Monday also take questions via social networks. The SEC in April updated guidance that lets companies post material information on social networks, a move that seems to have spurred some of those changes.
For Yahoo's video trial, results appear to be stellar.
That's not to say Yahoo's actual results were stellar. They weren't. The stagnant Internet giant's results were mixed, with an adjusted EPS beat and an unexpected dip in revenue. But investors pushed Yahoo's stock 10.4% higher on Wednesday, the day after the earnings release/webcast. Yahoo's stock hasn't traded this high since May 2008.
The rise in the stock price may very well be the result of increased investor confidence in the company's strategy and management team. But the video may have played some small part in the rise.
How so?
Well, as Business Insider's Henry Blodget pointed out via Twitter, it was a sort of "get to know management" opportunity.
Even during the conference call, the video seemed to be adding some levity to what often is a pretty dull exchange of rehearsed jargon. Barclays Capital analyst Anthony DiClemente couldn't help but mention that he could now figure out whether Mayer and Goldman were being 100% truthful in their responses. Tough question on conference calls sometimes are met with a few seconds of uneasy silence — but now analysts can see the executives' faces during those seconds.
"Well, now we could try and read the expression on your face on the video stream," DiClemente joked, "so we will try and do that. Thanks a lot."
CFO Goldman said it was "actually a lot of fun to be experimenting with a new format."
There was another reason for the webcast. As Mayer said last night: Yahoo plans to invest heavily in video. What better way to show that the company is serious about that investment than by posting some live video.
Goldman said it was the "first" such live stream, which one might take to mean that Yahoo will be doing video webcasts in future quarters. Yahoo on Wednesday didn't respond to a request for further comment.
