Then the climb back down, I can say I had 3 points of contact all the way up and all the way down again. Back down all the stairs to the boat. This time we stopped to walk into waterfall. The water was great, you sat with your feet in and the fish nibbled away at the dead skin on your feet. Back to the boat and it was now time to ...

To make matters even worse, on that particular flight, the pilot almost landed and then had to climb up again and do another pass.

Shriveled dahlias with hope
This was my first winter storing dahlias...I stored the 15 in a big cardboard box with shavings. I checked them early on, but seemed to forget as the winter progressed. Today, I took them out and many were shriveled. Several looked good with eyes popping out. Others looked pretty good but with no eyes. And still others, very sad looking. I'm soaking them in a bucket for a little while and this seems to be helping. Questions...will the clumps that look decent (but don't have eyes yet) develop eyes? Should they all have eyes by now? Some clumps are huge and the eyes are growing in between. What to do with these? Can I just cut the clump in half and start in a pot, or do I have to have individual tubers? I'm afraid I'll miss and not get the portion with the eye. Please tell me the best way to get the most hopeful ones off to a good start. PS...I started them all in pots last spring and they did fine upon transplanting. Thanks!!!
I'd do cuttings from the hopeful ones that are a clump with starts. Some dahlias are really slow to eye up- we still have lots that haven't eyed up yet. We have one variety that, every year Walt has a whole tray that he thinks won't eye up so stashes it somewhere & forgets about it- along about June- there they are-- growing like crazy! I'd start them all in flats to see what starts & what doesn't. Some people will put them in a baggie with moist potting soil & place it in a warm spot to get them started & not take up as much room as flats do

The velocity potential function for a two-dimensional flow,
The conditions for the potential flow are
Similarly we get
In order to determine whether the flow is irrotational or not it has to satisfy the relation
Now substituting the known values in equation (1) and differentiating them leads to
Since the condition in equation (1) is satisfied, the flow is irrotational.
The condition required to satisfy the equation is
…… (2)
Substituting the value of in the above relation we get
Since the condition in equation (2) is not satisfied, hence the flow does not satisfy the equation.

Grown Ups 2 Clip: Taylor Lautner's Handshake
Taylor Lautner faces off against Adam Sandler in this new clip from Grown Ups 2. Check it out:
Taylor Lautner faces off against Adam Sandler in this new clip from Grown Ups 2. Check it out:
Taylor Lautner appears to have a new girlfriend.
The actor was spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game this week with Malika Monroe, holding the hand of the actress best known for starring opposite Zac Efron in At Any Price.
Pop that champagne and offer Taylor Lautner a sip, THGers: The Twilight Saga stud can accept legally now!
Indeed, the handsome actor who brought Jacob Black to life on the big screen is now 21 years old, as he celebrates one of life's major milestones today.
The cast of Breaking Dawn took to Berlin, Germany for its next red carpet stop this week, as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and company posed for fans and photographers.
And while we've been comparing Stewart's fashion choices in Los Angeles and in Great Britain, now it's time for the guys.
Try to remain calm, Twihards. The odds of the following actually taking place remain extremely low.
But Taylor Lautner was a guest on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning and he got the Internet and movie world buzzing by telling the host he's open to a Jacob Black-based spinoff.
Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson taped an interview with Ellen DeGeneres today.
And while the actors were not besieged by male strippers - as happened to Miley Cyrus during the same talk show visit - the topic of exposed crotches did come up.
How does Taylor Lautner feel about the cheating scandal that has surrounded co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson?
The actor doesn't directly say in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan. But he basically does.
For the first time in months, and the first time since a certain cheating scandal, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner gathered this week for a joint interview.
Did Stewart and Pattinson hold hands? Glare at each other? Was there any noticeable tension among the cast?

Terribly upset at the decision of a government-sponsored team to reduce the area under Thotlakonda Buddhist site, Indian National Trust for Art, Heritage and Culture has decided to approach court if the status quo is not maintained.
Heritage lovers feel that the attempts to dilute GO Rt. 627 of 1978 in surveying the Thotlakonda Buddhist site on the Bhimili beach road is a glaring instance of how the tourism and real estate lobby is calling the shots.
INTACH activists are distressed to find that in the name of tourism and other development projects, various government agencies have been slicing out large stretches of land within the statutorily notified areas around some of these Buddhist and other sites.
The Thottlakonda survey is understood to have reduced the area under the monument to 181 acres from approximately 600 acres, according to S. Bhujanga Rao, a member of Forum for Better Visakha. Heritage lovers have appealed to the District Collector and others to ensure status quo.
Rani Sarma, INTACH district convener, said "we understand that a survey team has surveyed the site and finalised demarcation of the boundaries of the site according to which the extent covered by the site came to a little less than 181 acres."
She said the boundaries of the site, as demarcated by the revenue survey team, was not compliant with the GO issued in 1978.
The GO clearly indicated the boundaries to be as follows. East: Survey No.295 and 296 and hills in the west, north and south.
While the boundary on the east should abut the Survey Numbers 295 and 296, the boundaries on the west, north and the south should strictly be along the lines where the hills surrounding the Thotlakonda site start rising.
"If this were to be complied with, the survey carried by the team is clearly erroneous and violation of the said GO," Ms. Sarma said.

Flight cancelled without prior information
Passengers made to wait in lounge for hours
Nedumbassery: About 22 passengers of a Go Air flight from Delhi that landed at the Cochin airport via Mumbai on Wednesday have decided to approach the consumer court against the airline for alleged failure of the company to protect the rights of its customers.
A complaint registered by the passengers with the Delhi airport authorities and the airline said the flight (SG 162) that had been scheduled to take off from Delhi at 1.55 p.m., was cancelled due to operational reasons, leaving about 20 of them stranded at the IGI airport in Delhi.
It also accused the airline of showing irresponsibility towards the passengers by failing to inform them in advance about the cancellation. "Despite announcing a sudden cancellation of the flight, the airline refused to accommodate us in the various other flights to Kochi.
They insisted on either waiting at the lounge or cancelling the ticket,'' said V.A. Zakir Hussain, an affected passenger.
The sleep-deprived passengers also staged a protest against the airline's attitude during the hours-long stay in the lounge of the Delhi airport.
Another passenger V.J. Martin said "little did I know that after check-in, I would ever be subjected to such a horrendous experience.
"We have decided to approach the court as the airline officials were clearly negligent to our concerns as all we encountered from them was nonchalance, indifference and a total defence of their actions'', he said.
The passengers were later brought to Kochi by the same flight on Wednesday that landed here by 6.30 p.m.

There are some spoilers below, so be forewarned:
So, I have been picking all available classic Disney films on Blu-Ray; these include Snow White, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.
I love the classic animation styles and have enjoyed seeing how each film shows the progression of animation over the years. Just lovely and seeing these films again made me realize that I miss the classic Disney style fantasy fairy tale. Sure we still have them but they are all CGI. There is also too much of a modern sensibility within them; either in language (slang), or the manner in which the characters behave. Will there ever be a gay Disney film I wonder?! I highly doubt it but these will suffice for now. LOL
Legend with Tom Cruise: There are two versions of the film here. This was an attempt I think in part by Ridley Scott to make a live action Disney film. I love hearing about the behind the scenes stories and how the original story was actually far more darker in tone than what eventually ended up on screen. In fact, I wish that Ridley would remake this film himself and give it that dark fairy tale that he and his writers originally intended to do. Other notes on the film; Tim Curry's darkness is the coolest looking makeup and holds up quite well after all these years. The music by Tangerine Dream is still awesome if a bit cheesy. I like Goldman's score but I saw the Theatrical version years ago and it's left an impression on my childhood memories of the film. The film is a bit overloaded with kiddy moments, the elves and dwarves and fairies, bubbles and glitter. You never quite get the darker tones of the film since the evil henchmen are played for laughs.
Labyrinth with David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly: Does anyone remember when David Bowie was considered sexy back then? I do, my sister loved this film because he was in it. I loved it because of the world they created within it. David looked rather gay too me back then with the crazy hair do, the make up and his overly tight pants and his junk bunched up to his chest. LOL
The big hairy monster is cool, the little snippy dog riding the other fluffy dog is hilarious too.
The Dark Crystal: This film is rather ugly in terms of the design aesthetic, the Skeksis are quite disgusting to be honest. They represent the ugliness of the beings that become one at the end. Whereas the Mystics represent the benevolent side, or opposite of the Skeksis. The elf like creatures themselves look incredibly creepy with their expressionless faces, yes I know they are puppets. They look like plastic surgery victims. I remember those big insect-like creatures giving me nightmares as a children. Its funny to look at them now and realize how obvious they are today. That fat little midget female character was hilarious though, she should have been heavily featured but I think she appears in Labyrinth, cross-over much?
Vanishing on 7th Street: A great premise ruined by irrational behaviour of characters and the heavy-handed nature of the film's plot to ensure this or that character does this or that. Hayden Christiansen is actually quite attractive in this film than he was in the Star Wars films. I wish they had more characters and a more interesting location rather than some bar. I also felt that having one character try to explain what is happening ruins any of the mystery, they try to over explain the situation. There are some genuinely creeping segments like the one with Hayden's character at the news station hallway. Everything else including the use of shadows and sound is genuinely good, I just wish that they had put more thought into it. This film reminds me of Prometheus, irrational characters, heavy handed plot that dispatches character here and there... good to decent premise. Next!
The Last Unicorn: I only purchased this because of all the high praise I was seeing for the film. I'll be more discerning when I order something but I followed their praise and my expectations were high; the film is a very incoherent story with weird character design. The story is what I would call, scatter brained. Its trying to be so many things yet it never quite feels engrossing. As I was saying, the character design in some aspects is good but also quite atrocious. I did not need to see a giant bird with multiple breasts attached to it, nor did my nephews and nieces. I also felt that the story should have had focus on the Unicorns and less bizarreness all around. The animation is not bad but not quite the level of a Disney film but it is serviceable. The whole experiences for me was just... meh! Perhaps if my expectations were negligible then I would have enjoyed the film a little more.
The Impossible: Great performances in this film, loved Ewan McGregor but then it's not really that hard to love that guy. The special effects sequences which depict the tsunami were quite astonishing and likely the most accurate depiction of any disaster related sequence that I have ever seen in any other film. Naomi Watts was also amazing as was the young actor who carries the film. To be honest its a type of film that you can only watch once because if you see it again, it becomes a little too sweet... sentimental.
Merlin Season 5: "sigh" Okay... not the best way to end a series. Actually scratch that, this is the worst way to end a television series. The last episode felt like a bunch of things just being checked off of a laundry list. There is no sense of satisfaction or a sense of connection that felt natural, it was rushed. Mordred is dispatched, Quinivere becomes Queen, Arthur is dying, Qwaine dies, and Morgana is killed in one of the most unsatisfying ways imaginable. Oh god did I want to see her die in a horrifying way where she was her own means of death, one of her spells turns on her or that young Dragon Aithusa turns on her or something but no... she gets jabbed with a magical sword. Merlin is supposed to be this great sorcerer and yet, its completely bs because when he should be using it to either kill Mordred, Morgana or what, he doesn't! Oh and Arthur dies never seeing the Kingdom of Camelot or the Land of Albion united but whatever. I can understand now why they decided to end the series because they literally ran out of ideas and or were feeling too tired to continue.
To be honest, the series was not that great because it was somewhat two-dimensional. Morgana's hatred was never fully explored. Merlin should have come out to Arthur earlier to give the series something to chew on but then they never really explored things when they introduced them did they, case in point the pointless introductory episode story with the Diamir or whatever its called. That alien being thing that lives in the tower/mountain cave whatever that Morgana was looking for. That's the other thing, Merlin has had some many opportunities to kill Morgana in fact the Dragon told him to do so at the beginning of the Series. The reason he did not was the heavy-handedness of the writing team.
Throughout the series, everyone tells Merlin that he is to be this most powerful sorcerer yet he cannot save his friend.
When he turns to powerful Merlin and destroys Morgana's army, he goes back to being regular Merlin. WTF is that.
He is told by Gaius that he cannot remove that magical blade bit in Arthur's heart or something... umm wasn't he supposed to be this all great and powerful sorcerer and healer?
They make up this shit about Merlin having to take Arthur to Avalon, to heal him as it is the only option. At that point I was fucking screaming at the screen saying "Call that DRAGON you stupid shit!"
What does he do? Nothing!
They spend several nights riding through fields, forests, hills, mountains and spend several nights pouring their hearts out, fucking stupid.
Anyway, I was half expecting Merlin or Arthur to make out during that shoreline scene. Arthur or Merlin could have at least fucking uttered that he loved the other but no... that would be too gay for the American audience watching.
So, this is how not to end your Series!
Oh btw, he does eventually call that Dragon but only after Arthur dies. Yeah... that's like LOTR where they could have called those eagles to fly Frodo to mount Doom so he could you know, drop the ring into the volcano! Stuff that would have made sense to intelligent thinking individuals. :O
Star Trek TNG: Seasons 1, 2, & 3:
Okay I'm showing my geekiness here but its pretty much a requirement to own these. Anyway, the show looks amazing in high definition and a lot of the effects look amazing and to be honest, somewhat cheesy by today's standard. The sets themselves look occasionally amazing even though the planet based sets look ridiculously fake. The high-definition really brings out the skin pores especially on poor Wesley whose pimpliness becomes far too obvious by season 3.
There are quite a few nitpicks to contend with and I don't agree with the Blu-Ray remastering team about keeping the original compositions the way they were originally put together. Some lee-way should have been enacted especially since they do that one some aspects of the special effects. An example; the way the light hits the ship when featured against a space background with a CG or matte painted planet behind it. The star or sunlight that lights the ship comes from a completely different direction than the planet behind it... these are things that they could have fixed. A different shot of the ship the ship should have been used which would compliment that background plate of the planet. These things tend to distract especially in a very heated moment in the story.
Still, the work done here is marvelous and I look forward to the future seasons and remastered series!
That is all for now.

Chernobyl Diaries (It's on HBO OnDemand)
The first hour was an excellent character/location set up. Creepy as hell when nighttime came and the van lights went out.
The last half hour seemed to fall apart and get stupid. Still, better than Silent Hill Revelation.
John Dies at the End and The Skeleton Key.
John Dies at the End was really, really, really, bloody good in the beginning, but about halfway through it just started to get really really really, bloody bad. The Skeleton Key was fantastic though. I remember seeing it when it came out and the twist ending has stuck with me for so long I wanted to see it again!

^ I liked Skeleton Key too. Gena Rowlands was awesome in that.
The Great Gatsby (2013) 3D
Gorgeous, well acted, and beautiful music.
The last movie I watched was Django Unchained. "Tell Miss Laura 'goodbye'. "
Zayn Malik... I mean Iron Man 3. Sorry! Obsessing here!!!
The Last House on the Left (the remake). I watched it mainly for Aaron Paul but I still enjoyed it otherwise. More edgy than the original cult-classic but a little less creepy.
No... mismatched lighting setups. Planet is light up differently than the space ships! Looks distracting expecially since they went to a great deal of work on remastering the effects!
Shucks... this was in response to Pat Grimshaw. lol

I went to see my mom n dad this past weekend and we watched "Guilt Trip"....funny movie. I usually don't like mainstream comedies but this one was enjoyable.
Star Trek Into Darkness 3D
I give it a solid 8 out of 10 stars. Acting was good. Lots of action. Several very funny lines. Surprisingly effective emotional scene which I knew was coming but it worked very well nonetheless. This film uses a "Khan" as the evil charcter, but that's almost all it reuses. 90% NOT a remake of Wrath of Khan.
^ Solid 8 out of 10?
Please rate Star Trek (2009).
I would recommend it, even if you don't like baseball. It makes one think: what would The Majors be like without African-American players and what it must be like to be the first African-American anything.
^ So it's basically as good. Terrif! Can't wait to see it.
The Impossible. It's a total crime this masterpiece didn't get more recognition in North America. Warning- will make you cry like a baby.

I watched "Limitless" recently. It was an interesting film and I rather enjoyed it. The ending was a bit weak though. I would probably not watch it again.
Michael Moore's a good filmmaker.
I like his politics, too.
He who has never envied the vegetable has missed the human drama. --Emil Cioran
Star Trek into Darkness Imax 3D
I was entertained. Just like the previous one, the main cast is the highlight. But I wasn't thrilled with much of the story. It's another Damon Lindeloff story where he throws in red herrings and simple twists that makes him look like a smarter writer than he really is. I didn't read any spoilers before, but still I wasn't entirely surprised at the twists. Anyone can take a classic movie and turn things around as plot points for a new movie. In the longterm, I don't think this movie, nor the villain, will be remembered as fondly as the movie it hooked into.
Seing the many closeups of Pine's dreamy blue eyes was wonderful.

Rented Jack Reacher last night, decent action but the ending is one of those WTF moments
I saw Hangover III. I enjoyed it but it wasn't a great movie, just enjoyable and one you'll forget about before long.
In theaters - Star Trek: Into Darkness. Having never seen the first one(what can I say, not a Trekkie), I have to say I was very impressed - impressed enough to want to watch the first one now. Thought it was quite solid, and my movie-ADD never kicked in.
At home - Here Comes The Boom. I'm NOT a fan of Kevin James, but this movie is better than I thought it would be even if it's hokey as all hell at times. Sometimes, you just need a mindless comedy.
"Theres death on the horizon,

There are only a couple of directors who I like and admire as much as Tarkovsky.
Andrei Rublev (1966). A 15th century painter is silenced by the brutal idiocy of the world.

In the extreme isolation of Siberia trappers earn their livelihood. The skills and fortitude their work requires are a marvel.

The Amazing Spider Man.
I so much prefer Andrew Garfield to Tobey Maguire.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
"From Beyond" (1986). Excellent film. It's a fucking trip!
Star Trek Into Darkness
I worshiped it. And I absolutely love how the alternate timeline messes with the history.
(You have to watch it in 3D. IMAX, if possible.)
I also like Andrew Garfield's Spiderman because he played it a bit more flippantly - as it would be, as Spiderman was a teenager. But I was a bit disappointed with Andrew Garfield's version of Spiderman because I did not hear his uncle advising "With great power comes great responsibility".
Roman officer Severus loves Sebastiane, but Sebastiane loves Jesus. Loincloths ahoy!
Derek Jarman's Sebastiane (1976).
He who has never envied the vegetable has missed the human drama. --Emil Cioran
I watched The Hangover Part 3 yesterday. I liked it but not as much as the first two, which were raunchier and funnier, imo.
Shelter - the selfishness of the sister still annoys me to no end.
Oz - The Great and Powerful - awful. Everything was wrong with it.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
I bought a bunch of blu-rays again recently... I bought Beauty & The Beast 3D blu-ray. I've never seen the movie before ever, and I am glad that I never did. Don't see what the appeal was. The songs are cloying but the animation is gorgeous as are some of the characters, Gaston and the Prince.
Belle is obviously suffering from some kind Stockholm syndrome and I kept thinking that the Beast would have a big old turgid beast cock sprouting out from that furry region whenever he was around Belle. Clearly he was pissy and mean because he wasn't getting laid for all those years.
Excalibur on Blu-ray: What a fucking surprise this movie turned out to be. A young patrick stewart, gabriel byrne, helen mirren. Since I was burned by Merlin Series finale, it was quite interesting to see the Arthurian legend playout throughout this movie... oh and my child hood crush Nicholas Clays displays his wonderful ass again, remember Lady Chatterley's Lover. He even fights an imagined ghost of himself while naked, falling and flailing about with his nuggets in full display, sadly no frontal. I LOVE YOU NICHOLAS CLAY... May you rest in peace! Oh, Gabriel Byrne was such a fucking sexy fuck back then wasn't he!
Anyway, will need to spend some time with the rest of the blus later this week! Enjoy people!

zoltanspawn: Check out Lady Chatterley's Lover if you can on blu-ray, kind of hard to find. Mine is a german (European) origin copy but plays the original English track. That man's peen is visible in nice transfer in that one, he looks gorgeous soaping up his big ass in that one too :P.... Its a true shame he wasn't in many more films like that... unless I missed something else

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has formerly issued a subpoena for testimony from Secretary of State John Kerry. Kerry will be required to appear before the Committee to answer questions at a public hearing this forthcoming May 21, 2014.

Keywords: Secretary of State John Kerry, Darrell Issa, Benghazi
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "The State Department's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack has shown a disturbing disregard for the Department's legal obligations to Congress," Chairman Issa wrote in a letter to Secretary Kerry accompanying the subpoena.
"Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game. Because your Department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the Committee to answer questions about your agency's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack."

The State Department sent a letter on April 17, 2014, which informed the Committee it was producing previously unreleased e-mails subject to prior requests and subpoenas. Email messages prove that White House official Ben Rhodes coordinated talking points for then-Ambassador Susan Rice which encouraged an emphasis that the attack was "rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy."
"The fact that these documents were withheld from Congress for more than 19 months is alarming," wrote Chairman Issa. "The Department is not entitled to delay responsive materials because it is embarrassing or implicates the roles and actions of senior officials."

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

From waves in Nicaragua, Cabo, Fiji and Cali, it was Lenny's surfing Maui's local Peʻahi "Jaws" that brought the crowd to an overwhelming applause.

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Arkansas
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) arrived in Arkansas in October 1962 at the request of the Arkansas Council on Human Relations, the state affiliate of the Southern Regional Council. SNCC efforts began with Bill Hansen, a young white Ohioan--already an early veteran of the civil rights movement--who traveled to Little Rock in the early sixties to help stimulate student sit-in movements promoting desegregation. Thanks in large part to SNCC's bold initiatives, most of Little Rock's public and private facilities were desegregated by 1963, and in the years that followed many more SNCC volunteers rushed to the state to set up projects across the Arkansas Delta to help empower local people to take a stand against racial discrimination. In the five short years before it disbanded, the SNCC's Arkansas Project played a pivotal part in transforming the state, yet this fascinating branch of the national organization has barely garnered a footnote in the history of the civil rights movement. This collection serves as a corrective by bringing articles on SNCC's activities in Arkansas together for the first time, by providing powerful firsthand testimonies, and by collecting key historical documents from SNCC's role in the region's emergence from the slough of southern injustice.

Rensselaer's bad casino bet
Our opinion: Yet again, there's talk of gambling revenues to bail out fiscally stressed Rensselaer. The city's choice waterfront surely presents a viable alternative to oversaturating this area with casinos. Rensselaer city officials act sometimes like the gambler who's losing his shirt at the craps table but keeps on rolling the dice in hopes of […] [Read More]
Long story short
Our opinions: We weigh in briefly on giant signs in Schenectady, the flap over sparklers, and Congress' latest science fail. Schenectady casino sign would be over the top Patrons of the Rivers Casino and Resort at Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady won't have to worry about finding the place, nor will satellites. The Schenectady City Council […] [Read More]
Is there a casino alternative?
After a long, drawn-out process, three gambling casinos were awarded licenses. However, this left much disappointment from leaders of regions who did not receive a casino license. It's a shame that some of these places could not receive at least some of the tax proceeds expected from the casinos to repair infrastructure or other necessities […] [Read More]
Rensselaer ready for next project
I recently confirmed the truth to the adage, "There are no sure bets," especially when it comes to siting a casino. While we knew a casino would not be the silver bullet to our fiscal and social issues, we knew the project would increase job opportunities, increase much-needed revenues and stimulate further economic development. I […] [Read More]
Gambling tip, N.Y.: Stay
Within days of the state Gaming Commission's recommendations for three casino licenses, politicians joined some unsuccessful bidders in second-guessing the findings and lobbying for a chance to recoup their losses. In something of a case of gambler's remorse, the mayor of Rensselaer has even asked the state to throw out the results and start over, […] [Read More]
Hope for favorable returns on casinos
We finally know what Gov. Andrew Cuomo was getting the state for Christmas: Long-awaited decisions on casinos and fracking. I think we came up short. New York state needs good-paying jobs; casinos are a dying breed. Hydrofracking could have been a jobs boon for many years to come. But my mind is not yet made […] [Read More]
A chancy future; a historic gem lost
Did anyone else catch the irony of the two articles on the Front Page of the Dec. 17 Times Union? "Local icon to weigh anchor," confirming the sad news the Half Moon replica will be leaving Albany to make its new home in the Netherlands. And "Decision day offers casino cash, dreams," heralding the impending […] [Read More]
Albany defined by its corrupt politics
We recently learned Rensselaer and its close neighbor Albany were not selected as a site for a casino. A casino would not define Albany. Albany is defined as the epicenter of state politics, with all the political intrigue and corruption that comes with it. For better or worse, the perception of Albany is that of […] [Read More]
Casino questions, still
The freight train that has been the push for Las Vegas-style casinos in New York rumbled toward certainty Wednesday with the announcement that Rivers Casino & Resort was recommended to get a license to operate in Schenectady. Nothing has slowed this roll toward full-scale casinos in New York – not doubts over the industry's economic […] [Read More]
Playing casino politics
In advocating for a proposed casino in their districts last week, two state lawmakers from the Capital Region went right to the top – to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Except it's not the governor who is supposed to decide where up to four upstate casinos will be located. Rather, it's the state Gaming Commission's site location […] [Read More]

favorite winter pic - vegetable, animal, or mineral
What with the four (five?) snow/ice storms so far, we have taken some beauties. This one is one of my favorites.
This is our almost four year old grandson who now lives in L.A., and is enjoying the snow as if his life depends on it.
:) Mary
*Please add yours!*
Ahhhhh , too cute! Look at that big grin! He's gonna remember his visit with Grandma for a long time. I wish I could still take the cold and play in the snow like that.
And I will post some pictures (none as cute as that though) as soon as I get my PC set up again and can get to the pictures on it - hopefully soon!
Gee I seem to just have bird pictures (if you can believe that!). So .... here are a couple of my favorites ...
A very mad robin ...
A white crowned sparrow ...
And just to show you that I do take pictures other than birds...
LOL!!!, too! GREAT pics!
Mary, your grandson is the epitome of happiness....before the Steelers game this weekend, of course. :D
Toby is delicious!! Oh, to be the snow that kisses his tummy....*sigh*
Jean, that pic of the robin has to be my all-time favorite of yours! LOL The cokehead is hilarious, too, though! That squirrel has "cuddle me" written all over him!!!
We don't have snow pics, but when the power was out, I couldn't resist this pic of Pookie, lit only by the dim, stormy light from the window. Cuddling with DH is her Nirvana. :)
Spooky Pookie... heehee... Of course, winter pics doesn't necessarily mean snow pics. It implies it, but feel free to ignore the implication! (I'm expecting Gary to add some Florida pics...)
We get power outs once in a while, but luckily never for long ourselves, since we are on the same street as the town shelter. Hurricanes come this far inland only once every few years. Some of the snow storms are like winter hurricanes... We feel quite safe and secure as long as the wood/coalstove is burning and there's food and water in the house. And everybody is safely home.
Jeanne, your bird pictures are in an album on our computer, and they cycled through the screensaver the other day when we had company - lots of wow's! They all think you're a professional. I have to add these to the album, they're wonderful!
:) Mary
Btw, that jacket is a handmedown, so we don't care what team it's from, but, we thought those were the colors of the Bruins?
What do we know...

antique sofa
serendipitynowSeptember 11, 2009
My mother gave me this sofa, but neither of us has any idea what period/style it could be. Opinions?
Regency style......but it's a Victorian interpretation.
Regency style......but it's a Victorian interpretation.
My guess is 1890-ish.
Looks like mahogany...
Pretty but miserably uncomfortable! I have a sofa sort of like that but mine is Empire period...used mainly to throw coats on when I am having a party!

By Jeanne Garcia
Skokie, IL: Northwestern Institute of Health and Technology (NWIHT) is offering a non-academic program (NWIHT 1000) that focuses on motivation, basic study techniques and time management.
The objectives of the NWIHT 1000 program are:
— To provide the tools for students to be able to increase their motivation, basic study, learning and test-taking skills, as well as effective time management skills; and
— To provide faculty with a tool to use in the first hour (mandatory) of all courses moving forward.
The NWIHT 1000 program is patterned after some successful programs done in the US with the ultimate goal of enabling students to succeed in their educational endeavors, pass examinations in order to increase retention, and also be better prepared to pass the licensing examination for Practical Nurses. This program differentiates North-western Institute of Health and Technology from other schools because it is being offered free of charge for prospective students in order to enable them to have a better chance for success in their educational endeavor.
The program kicked off in September 2012. NWIHT 1000 is spearheaded by NWIHT's energetic and innovative academic dean, Dr. Dulcelina Stahl and duly approved by NWIHT's dedicated and compassionate president Junita P. Julian.

A Mountain Biking video by 203mm - 1,617 views
A year in which the crisis takes the headlines of both national and international media, Spain is one of the most affected countries and where we made this video. 11 people commited suicide. 11 people who were to be evicted from their home. The economic crisis evolved to a human rights crisis, where continued reductions in the public spenses hit basic rigths of our society like health care meanwhile our Politicians are involved in corruption cases, this is the daily reality of our country. Far from living unrelated to this situation, we wanted to make this video showing that change is possible if we all take the right decisions. Improvement, living in harmony with nature and respect are traits that define the MTB skills to realize the change. SPIN THE LIFE is a video made with the collaboration of the Andorran cycles brand Commencal with its model Commencal Supreme FR, the local Rider Ruben Pascual "Rubenket" and produced by 203mm.com

Brand new. Design Apartments in luxury location!
You can not live better and more central in Berlin!
Now you can also book one of my 4 new luxury apartments in prime prime location of Berlin at Potsdamer Platz, the Sony Center. The Sony Center is one of the most impressive buildings in Europe and was completed in 2000. For planning the famous architect Helmut Jahn was responsible.
The transport links are excellent. The metro station and the railway station 'Potsdamer Platz' is just a few steps from the apartment. Various bus and drive Sighseeinglinien nearby. The top sights of Berlin are sometimes only a few meters away from the apartments (Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, Leipziger Platz, Reichstag, Unter den Linden, National Gallery, Philharmonic ...)
The apartments are spacious than the rooms and suites are in close proximity of the two 5-star hotels (Ritz Carlton, Grand Hyatt) and in direct comparison unbeatable. Treat yourself to something special, and round off your visit in Berlin with a memorable stay in one of my apartments from.
great apartment, modern and convenient our 2nd year in this house and with this host best choice for biz trips and city tours - in this case you experience living in an outstanding piece of architecture =) highly recommended
The apartment fulfilled expectations, including my dream of spending time in the midst of the "new Europe" architecturally. The Sony Center is created by architect Helmut Jahn like a small Japanese "mount Fuji" in Europe with its impressive white "hanging" cupola/dome, and the core of the modern and beautiful Potsdamer Platz area. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days in the apartment with its view of the "plaza" of the Sony Center, with its restaurants and shops. The Sony Center was surprisingly quiet day and night and we slept well as a result. Handover worked well as well as returning the keys.
There are so many things to do in Berlin that are walking distance from the Sony Center. This apartment is not just nearby, it is IN the Center. It is a very easy walk to Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Unter den Linden, Museum Island and Berliner Dom, Checkpoint Charlie, Tiergarten, and much more. If you are lucky enough to attend a Philharmonic performance, that is a 5 minute walk. For Charlottenburg, Potsdam, and elsewhere, you are also a brief walk from the train and subway lines, which are technically separate but run somewhat parallel routes. [Please buy tickets - it is an honor system.] The apartment itself has everything you will need, and although it is not enormous, you're in Berlin to be in the city, and the space is more than adequate. One small caveat - if it is warm during your stay, ask for a second fan for the 2nd bedroom. The rooms get quite warm even when the reflective shades are closed. But...it reached 30 or 31C in mid May, quite unusual, but the 2nd fan was all we needed even then for comfortable sleeping conditions. Enjoy Berlin, and enjoy this apartment, whose location cannot be beat.
we were the first guests and we felt very comfortable. great welcome, top location, very comfortable and stylish furnishings.
Wir waren insgesamt 3 Wochen in Berlin. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage und Infrastruktur am Potsdamer Platz ist hervorragend. Alles war sauber und sehr gut und funktional ausgestattet. Herzlichen Dank nochmal.
Das Sony Center mutet schon an wie aus einem Science fiction Film. Wir (vom Lande) konnten nicht glauben, dass man hier auch wohnen kann. Das Apartment ist klasse. Alles da was man braucht und gut eingerichtet. Der minimalistische Stil passt eindeutig zum Gesamtkomplex. Nichts was störte. Die Lage war für uns Touristen unübertrefflich. Nicht nur das man sehr viel zu Fuß erkunden kann, auch die Verkehrsanbindung ist perfekt (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, Busse, Sightseeing-Busse, Taxistand). Natürlich haben wir auch das neue Shopping Eldorado am Leipziger Platz nur wenige Schritte entfernt besucht. War eine teure Angelegenheit, aber sehr empfehlenswert! Wenn wir wieder kommen buchen wir wieder im Sony Center.
There is no better base from which to explore Berlin.
Transport links are excellent. The subway station and train station 'Potsdamer Platz' and various bus lines and sightseeing are just steps away from the apartments.
If you leave the building you are in the heart of Berlin. Many major attractions and sights you can in a few minutes on foot (Potsdamer Platz, Leipziger Platz, Brandenburg Gate, National Gallery, Reichstag, Tiergarten, Unter den Linden, Philharmonie, Museum Island, Friedrichstrasse ...)

Day 170
... we had too bend double yo get into them. They were very similar to the burial cave that we have visited in both Greece and Turkey, with tombs cut into the rock. Some had large arches carved into the walls with shelves below them, and some had niches where votive would have been placed. As we climbed along the narrow ledges between the caves the ceilings became higher, some of the interiors had 70's ...
Day 169
... deep gorges, by the middle of the afternoon we turned off the main road and dropped down the side if a gorge, at one point it was so tight you could have touched both sides, however you would have got wet feet in the river. It's amazing how the roads are cut into the hillsides. Passing through a very narrow road in a village the overhanging balconies had their height painted on them, luckily the lowest was 3.5 metres.
At the coast we found a place to park at a small harbour in ...
Day 162
... they looked like rows of Tibetan stupas in lines at the side of the roads, at one place we waited whilst a tractor pulled a pickup out. Some villages had a variety of snow ploughs, diggers and tracked vehicles clearing smaller roads. Several times we had to wait several minutes until they had finished, at another spot a couple of farmers were squashing sheep into their pickups keeping them inside the back with ...
Day 161
... We then had lunch in the shop's car park before setting off again. We parked in the Marina and followed the yellow arrows into the city. We walked out along the Venetian harbour to the fortress built at the end of it, we couldn't walk around it as the waves were crashing onto the roadway, the harbour and fortress were used recently in the making of the film 'El Greko'. From the fortress you can see the old ...

We hope the weather will be better tomorrow so we can go into Heraklion for some ...

....Further testing seems to indicate that shibby (and most likely vanilla tomato) does not have a "global inbound" limit, which is why inbound QoS sucks.However, recent Toastman builds appear to have this properly implemented (and to no surprise, given how extensive that guide is).
I currently have a Shibby build in my WRT54GL, and in the credits, I believe he says that his build includes Toastman's QoS mods.So is Toastman's version better, and is there any particular build number to choose ?
Since January 9th, 2012, Toastman has included an IMQ based QOS ingress system (coded by "Tiomo") -- so basically, Incoming QOS. I am not sure if this is included in the Shibby builds. It seems that the Shibby builds have always included Toastman's "outgoing" QOS mods.
my router on toastman lists this....
Which version of Toastman are each of you using, and will it work on Cisco/Linksys WRT54GL router ?

Upgraded the monitor, 36 year payoff by saving electricity!
I put my 13 year old 15" computer monitor out to pasture when I saw a bigger LCD one for $90 on clearance. It works better and uses less electricity (20 watts versus 50 watts), but the payoff based on today's electric rates is about 36 years! Maybe if rates double, then the monitor will actually pay for itself before it dies.
I also put the 22 year old 13" analog color T.V (Samsung, Made in USA) out and went with a 19" digital LCD on sale. Energy use drops from 66 watts to 27 watts with the new T.V. and the picture is incredible with DTV over the air. Previously, we had just used the DTV converter box.
Goodwill has both units (they do work), so hopefully they will be recycled and someone will spend/save some real money by getting them for $5 or $10. I'm sure not saving any money by upgrading!
Try listing it on Craigslist or Freecyle? Someone will want it.
Have you tried just putting it out at the curb with a *FREE* sign? I set out my TV on the curb with a sign and it was gone in no time.
A lot of people don't know about the *Free* Forum Craigslist has. Check CL for your city's listing and go to the *Free* section.
If it works, offer it to a nursing home. The nursing home in my neighborhood accepts TV's to put in patient rooms.
