Background information | |
Birth name | Benjamin Kowalewicz |
Born | Montreal, Quebec, Canada |
December 16, 1975

Benjamin Kowalewicz (/ˌkɒvæˈlɛvɪtʃ/; born December 16, 1975, in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian singer and the lead singer of the Punk rock band Billy Talent.
Kowalewicz, of Polish descent, was born December 16, 1975 in Pierrefonds, Quebec. He was raised in Streetsville, Ontario, but now lives in downtown Toronto. He attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School, where he was a drummer in a band named To Each His Own. In this band he would meet Jonathan Gallant. Kowalewicz moved from drummer to vocals and rhythm guitar, and Aaron Solowoniuk was recruited to play drums. The three would then meet Ian D'Sa to form a band called Pezz. Pezz released their first album, Watoosh!, in 1998.[1] After being threatened with a lawsuit by an American band who was also using the name Pezz, Kowalewicz suggested the name Billy Talent, taken from a character from Michael Turner's Hard Core Logo. Kowalewicz focused his work on vocals only, and Billy Talent was born.[citation needed] In this time, Kowalewicz worked in a number of positions at Toronto radio station 102.1 the Edge, as an assistant for The Ongoing History of New Music host Alan Cross, to contribute funds towards Billy Talent's first album.
Kowalewicz is featured in the song "Smiling Politely" by Cancer Bats from their album Hail Destroyer. He was featured in the song "Wake Up the Town" by Anti-Flag, which was a bonus track on their 2008 album The Bright Lights of America. Kowalewicz is seen in the video for Goldfinger's "Superman".
His home in the Parkdale neighbourhood of Toronto was featured on the Canadian home decorating show Designer Guys. The episode is entitled "Punk Meets Traditional". Kowalewicz can also play guitar and drums. He wrote drums for "The Ex" which appears on Billy Talent's self-titled album.
Kowalewicz married his girlfriend, Rachelle Turner, after a 6-year relationship in August 2011.

Anna and the Angels with guest Karen Anderson
in Spirituality
This week I welcome back dear Karen Anderson to the show to talk about the Angels and how they can help us through our life lessons and challenges!
Spiritual Intuitive Karen Anderson is an internationally known Intuitive, Healer, Teacher, Medium and Radio Host, whose channeled Angelic messages have assisted many around the world. Karen is a third generation intuitive, who as a small child could easily hear the divine guidance of God and the Angels, but did not let this guidance fully encompass her life until the fall of 1997 when a life altering encounter with Heavenly Angels reopened her gift of clairaudience (clear hearing). Today, Karen works very closely with the Angelic Kingdom bringing channeled messages to many. Karen assists attendees in her workshops through insightful direction on how to develop one's own heart-to-heart connection with their Guardian Angel and Spiritual Guides.

Thoughts and/or advice on being an Understudy? (self.acting)
submitted 2 years ago by WardenChult
So we just recently did auditions for my school's performance of Into the Woods. I went out for The Baker and in result I got The Baker's understudy. My feelings at the moment are mixed. I'm very happy that I at least got the role I wanted, though there's still a small part of me that's still a little upset. I think it has to do with the label "Understudy." A part of my mind thinks that it says "You are good, but no good enough." Realistically, I know it's not like that at all.
Well anyway, is there any specific advice I should be given as an understudy? Are there actually pros that the understudies have that a primary cast member would not have?
[–]ATWAS 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Understudies are very important, and you guys actually have it harder than the regular cast. You have to learn lines, learn blocking, and often learn how your specific actor reacts in character in order to fill in should something happen--ideally, understudies try to be as close to their charge as possible in terms of intonation and reaction in order to mesh with the cast.
You have a vital part in this production. Understudy in no way means that you are not good enough--in fact, reliability is also a great trait to cultivate, especially if you end up working with the same director again.
Congratulations on the role! Break a leg.
[–]goodgod-lemon 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
"Not good enough" are three words you should never ever ever think. Every director has a different vision for every play they direct. Maybe they saw him as The Baker. Maybe you audition for another Into The Woods and that director sees you as The Baker (: don't ever let cast lists make you feel like you're not good enough, because that simply isn't true. My best understudy advice to you would be: 1) Work harder than the actor who got the part. Learn all your lines ASAP. Memorize your blocking ASAP. Take extensive notes. If he ever misses a day of rehearsal, and you come onstage memorized and ready to go, it will speak miles for you when the director casts the next show. 2) Keep continually improving. Research the role, take voice lessons (if you're not already). Push yourself to be the best performer you can. 3) Volunteer for other aspects of production. Ask the director if you can help with hair and makeup, or lights on the weekends, or anything. Ask to assistant direct, assistant stage manage. Anything. That shows that you're in it for the long haul.
The understudies have one major pro, and that is that you can watch the performance. If you see that the kiss is awkward, or that he just isn't hitting that high note, or maybe that he keeps messing up his line and doesn't realize it...you can fix it. You can do it right. That's the best part (: Best of luck to you and break many legs!
[–]joey0v 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks for this. Sometimes its easy to forget that other roles on set such as assistant (anything) also help when your starting out in acting.
[–]WardenChult[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thank you so much for all the advice. I definitely do have some plans and ideas in mind right now and I feel REALLY ambitious. I was the first one offbook during my last performance, I can do it again though there will definitely be more challenges as a lead role. 1. As I said, I'm very ambitious this time around and am willing to work my butt off for this. 2. Definitely a common thing for actors to research their roles in my opinion. I'm an active member in my school's choir and advance vocal ensemble. Closes thing I got to vocal lessons haha. 3. I got a few ideas in mind to volunteer. I want to first hear from my director has planned for the understudies first. That is whether or not there's gonna be a chorus of some sort.
I can definitely see there's some good pros with being an understudy and at the very least, my director has planned one show for understudies only. Maybe more if an individual has shown excellence in his role. Thank you so much for the useful advice.

Many financial savants grabbed their crystal balls and went into hiding when the economy went into freefall. Now that there are signs of recovery, they are again gazing into their crystal balls with renewed hope. According to many of them, including IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard, the recession is behind us.
Tech honchos now believe that the IT industry would lead the recovery. According to a survey conducted by KPMG, two thirds of the 130 CEOs that were surveyed believe the IT industry would recover quicker than the US economy. Furthermore, a vast majority of CEOs feel 2010 would bring glad tidings for their industry. One can expect lesser job cuts in the near future as more than two thirds of tech bosses are not too keen on cost cutting.

Released: Jul 01st, 1995
Running Time: 80
Director: Toni English
Company: Wave Video
Tom Byron, Rebecca Bardoux, Tera Heart, Marc Wallice, Kaitlyn Ashley, Debi Diamond, Cal Jammer
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
Is there still anyone out there who doesn't like the look of film and prefers ANY shot on video to the best of the filmed features? If there is some poor uninformed soul out there, then please rent (or buy) Above the Knee for the awakening of your life. I don't think there is any aspect of this production that doesn't deserve an award nomination. From the cinematography (beautiful!), to the editing (seamless), to Ariel Hart's believable script, to the performances (we'll get to them), this is one superior movie.
The story finds Marc Wallice engaged to Rebecca Bardoux, his-live-in girlfriend. But Marc dreams about Tera Heart, one of Rebecca's best friends. In each dream, though, just as his hand is about to go above the knee (get it?), he wakes up shouting her name. Somehow Rebecca doesn't catch on to Marc's obsession even after the third shout, but she's got enough to keep herself occupied. Her friends Kaitlyn Ashley (looking better than ever, if that's possible) and Tera give Rebecca a going away present that consists of an outdoor all-girl threesome that not only is one of the best of the year so far, but is one of the best ever! PERIOD!
Then, substitute Tom Byron for Rebecca and our two horny ladies have something else to play with. And speaking of horny, Marc's backdoor party centerpiece is the unquenchable Debi Diamond. It would take more than just Cal Jammer and Byron to put out her fire and these guys don't come close. Then try -- but an army of anatomically correct androids would be vanquished by Miss Diamond.
By now, you just know that the last scene is going to be with Tera and Marc -- and not only does he get her at the end, but also IN the end. One anal nomination, if you please. And don't leave director Toni English out of all this backslapping. Especially since this is, in my opinion, her best effort to date. Retailers, puh-leeze establish that shot-on-film section if you haven't already done so.

Cheese Curd Our fresh, pasteurized cheese curd has no preservatives. It has about the same firmness as cheddar cheese, because Cheese Curd is actually the beginning process of Cheddar (before cheddar is put into block form). It is somewhat salty and squeaky when bitten into. It is best served at room temperature, but some people like it melted or deep fried. It is a wonderful appetizer or snack. This cheese does not take heat and humidity well, so shipping upgrades may apply in the warmer months. It is sold in one pound packages.

Re: Monday Service Picks and Consensus Reports
Marco D'Angelo | NBA Total Single-Dime Bet
SAC / MIL Under 198.5
Analysis: Tonight Milwaukee makes the final stop on a 5 game road trip. I expect this Game to be played in the 90's tonight which would send this game easily Under the Total. Milwaukee is finishing up a 5 game road trip tonight. Expect them to try and slow the pace as this is their 3rd game in 4 nights and last night's game was an overtime game. Expect them to have a poor shooting % from the floor tonight as they have to be tired and tired legs result in shots coming up short. I expect both teams to struggle trying to get into the 90's so I'm going under. TAKE MILWAUKEE/SACRAMENTO UNDER as MARCO'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY and make them a SINGLE DIME PLAY.

Monday NBA Opinion
PHILADELPHIA (+6) over Houston
I'm scratching my head a little trying to figure out why the line on this game is Houston by 6 points. The Rockets played, and lost, yesterday while the 76ers are rested. Home court advantage with a rested home team against an unrested visitor is 4.7 points, which would mean that Houston would have to be almost 11 points better than the Sixers to justify this line. Philadelphia has been out-scored by only 1.2 points this year against a schedule that is only 0.1 points worse than average (including factoring in rest scenarios for each game). The 76ers aren't actually that good, as their median game rating is 2.5 points worse than average, which is an appropriate rating. Houston has out-scored their opponents by 1.6 points this season, but they played 2 ½ games without star Tracy McGrady. In the 18 games in which McGrady started and finished the Rockets have out-scored their opponents by 2.9 points playing a schedule that is 1.5 points tougher than average. So, the Rockets are 4.4 points better than average with McGrady playing. If Houston is +4.4 points and Philadelphia is -2.5 points and the home court advantage for a rested home team against an unrested road team is 4.7 points then Houston should be favored by 2 points in this game. There are no significant injuries on either side and I'll lean with Philadelphia plus the points based on the line value.
Re: Monday Service Picks and Consensus Reports
4* Dallas Mavericks Spread -4.5 for 1st Half -110
Strongly believe Dallas come out strong & fast tonight
(intense on D) in order to break the fragile NY Knicks psyche early. Knicks
playing 3 in 4 nights' and coming off another embarrassing loss vs. Philadelphia on Saturdayin MSG (75-105). Team has no leadership, on & off the field, no O chemistry
& lack motivation & pride. Team has given up on head coach Thomas &
are easily 'mentally' defeated. As a result, strongly believe Dallas will take advantage of this opportunity, to get aneasy win, with Toronto on deck for Wednesday.
4* New York Knicks Total Points TEAM UNDER 97 for Game -110
If Dallas comes out strong & takes New York out of their game, which I think they will, points will come at a premium for the Knicks as they normally give up in this situation. On the other hand, if game is competitive, Dallas have the ability to shut down thestruggling Knicks in crunch time. In addition, can't see Dallas taking this gamefor granted giving their recent problems on road. Hence, have hard time seeing NY scoring more than 97 points tonight.

Houston is 3-1 SU and ATS overall vs Philadelphia last 3 years including 2-0 SU and ATS at Philadelphia. Houston is 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS at Philadelphia since 1996. Philadelphia is 3-8 ATS last 11 games on Monday. Road team is 8-1 ATS last 9 meetings in this series. Philadelphia is 311-387 ATS at home. Philadelphia is 55-82 ATS at home when the line is between 6 and 7 1/2. Philadelphia is 125-159 ATS after 2 ATS wins. We'll play Houston for 3 units tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Generally, the evolution of a capital improvement project follows, in sequence, the stages of conceptualization, design, funding, and construction.
The annual memorialization of this process is the City's 5-year capital plan. The overall plan is revisited in the late summer and fall of each year as we review citywide priorities, assess progress to date, and re-establish priorities for the coming years. Our objective is to come to agreement, in a process involving considerable public review and discussion, on the capital plan priorities; and adopt by council resolution the agreed upon capital plan by the end of each year. In this manner, we can factor our anticipated debt service needs into the following year's operating budget.
The initiation or birth of a capital project arises from the needs and/or desires of a combination of the Mayor, Council, City staff, and general public. Every capital project is ultimately owned by all of us. The question of priority has come up from time to time. Why is a certain project deemed to be a priority over another? The simple answer is that those projects being advanced have been deemed by the council and administration to be of most benefit to the City and its operation as a whole, considering all factors. While the rationale behind every project is described publicly in some fashion, there is extensive and detailed review and analysis that takes place by city staff apart from the public process. This review and analysis is conducted by city staff in conjunction with various committees of elected officials, members of the public, contracted planning and design professionals, and various government agencies at the local, county, state, and federal level. Ultimately, no project that is paid for with capital improvement funds can be performed without agreement of both City Council and the Mayor.
While only the Mayor is able to execute construction contracts, the checks and balances of our government provide City Council with considerable ability to advance, or halt, a project. Below is the typical sequence of events and actions that take place during the evolution of most projects.

Hey everyone, I've searched and searched on TPMS sensors, but can't find the answer to this question. I have an 09 Tacoma DC 4x4 with the TRD OR package. I picked up a set of new (take-off) FJ Cruiser steel wheels. I'd like to keep the stock wheels as well and switch back and forth. This leaves me with two questions.
First, I found a set of TPMS sensors from Taco steelies; does anyone know if these will fit the FJ steel wheels properly?
Finally, can the Taco ECU store 9 sensors IDs, or will it have to be reprogrammed each time I swap wheels? If the latter is the case, I guess I'll just forego the TPMS sensors in the Cruiser wheels.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Alliance of Lordaeron (formerly)[2] |

South-west of Lordaeron (formerly) |
Kul Tiras (pronounced KOOL-teer-AHS)[3] (also spelled as Kul'Tiras)[4] is a human city-state[5] built on an island once located south-west of Lordaeron and west of Khaz Modan. During the Cataclysm, the island was shifted out to sea by shifting tectonic plates[6]: both the land's and the city's current whereabouts is unkown.
During the Second War, the merchant nation[7] pledged its fleets to the Alliance of Lordaeron; Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, ruler of Kul Tiras, became the famed Grand Admiral of the Alliance. The city-state has fallen silent since Daelin's death in a Horde assault on the city of Theramore shortly after the Thir War.[8]
Kul Tiras was once a member of the Alliance.[2] Its exact status remains a mystery at the current time.[2] It is notably inaccessible in World of Warcraft, although its influence can be seen throughout the game.
Over one thousand years ago, the city-state of Kul Tiras was founded upon a large island west of Khaz Modan and in between Stormwind and Lordaeron. Kul Tiras developed a thriving economy based on fishing and exports. Over the years mighty fleets of merchant vessels were built and they sailed throughout the seas in search of exotic goods to trade and sell.[9]
Over the many years the great nation of Kul Tiras thrived on exports of seafood, livestock, lumber, grain, gold, and other artifacts. Over the years, the kingdom[10][11][12] has developed problems with pirates and raiders on the seas and on the coasts. Murlocs constantly pose a problem to those on the island. These threats, however, have become larger and more serious especially since the Second War all the way to present day.
The Second War
Always possessing a heavily armed and extremely powerful fleet, Kul Tiras only used their war vessels to protect shipping passages between the mainland and the island. Upon the Second War, their war fleets were unleashed as Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore entered Kul Tiras into the Alliance and took a vow to help his old friend, Sir Anduin Lothar. Despite the first sea battle against the orcish war fleet which resulted in the destruction of the human war ships, the armada of Kul Tiras proved to be a valuable asset of the Alliance war effort. Throughout the war Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore proved to be one of the staunchest supporters of the Alliance. Even though the fleets had triumphed in the Second War, the Horde ships devastated the fleet and it never has recovered since.[13] The loss of the Third Fleet to the dragon-riders of the Dragonmaw orcs was one such blow, taking with it Derek Proudmoore, eldest son of the Grand Admiral.[14]
Beyond the Dark Portal
This section is a lore stub. |
Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal
The Alliance claimed victory over the Orcish Horde in the Second War, and the Dark Portal was destroyed. With Sir Lothar's death at the assault on Blackrock Spire, Admiral Proudmoore pulled his nation from the Alliance,[15] which had descended into chaotic bickering, especially on what should be done to the orcish clans taken prisoner in the war. Proudmoore objected to King Teranas II of Lordaeron's decision to inter the orcs in camps across Stromgarde and Lordaeron,[16] as many other nations did, as they would all have to share the cost of keeping their former enemies alive, including Orgrim Doomhammer, Warchief of the Horde and the Orc that felled Lothar. Kul Tiras left the Alliance of Lordaeron sometime afterwards.[16]
The island nation enjoyed a fleeting peace. With the reopening of the Dark Portal, Kul Tiras itself was attacked by a renewed Orcish offensive on the orders of Ner'zhul, spiritual leader of the orcs on their homeland of Draenor. Its fleet was assaulted both at sea and in port by the Shadowmoon clan,[15] who laid waste at the very least to its harbor, ships[17] and what armies were rallied against them in a pre-emptive strike in order to allow safe passage to Lordaeron. The carnage wrought upon his homeland left an indelible mark on Admiral Proudmoore's conscience.[18] Kul Tiras rejoined the Alliance.
The Third War
A Kul Tiras Marine base on the islands held by the Darkspear Tribe, and implied to be hostile to the trolls, was destroyed by Thrall's New Horde as it made its way across the Great Sea to Kalimdor, coinciding with an attack by the naga Sea Witch Zar'jira and her murloc minions.[19]
Kul Tiras sent its fleets against the undead Scourge that ravaged northern and western Lordaeron but was able to do very little. Most of the ships were destroyed, heavily damaged, or retreated back to Kul Tiras.[13] Jaina Proudmoore, a powerful sorceress of Dalaran and the dear daughter of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, had been convinced by the mysterious Prophet that sailing west to Kalimdor with refugees from Lordaeron was the only course to save humanity. She commandeered half of the remaining Kul Tiras fleet and took them immediately across the Great Sea, in her haste apparently leaving her father uninformed.[20] This "Human Expedition" comprised members of most Alliance-aligned nations and races as well as many of Kul Tiras' finest soldiers.[21]
Jaina's goal was to reach the Oracle at Stonetalon Peak, which Thrall and the Horde also sought. The two factions warred across the Stonetalon Mountains, until the two leaders simultaneously stumbled upon the Prophet who had sent them both to Kalimdor, imploring them to unite against the arrival of the Burning Legion. The two unlikely allies ultimately agreed to put aside their history of conflict, and worked together to defeat the corrupted Warsong Clan of Grom Hellscream in the Barrens. Moving their forces into Ashenvale Forest, the humans and orcs battled with the invading Legion's demons and their Scourge minions, as well as the xenophobic night elf Sentinels. Jaina was able to help in the Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal with another desperate alliance with the night elves, and eventually decided to stay in Kalimdor with the people that had travelled with her, founding Theramore Isle. Her unlikely treaty with Thrall and the orcs, who settled in nearby Durotar, remained inviolate.
The Founding of Durotar
Several months later, the Grand Admiral, figuring that he could not prevent Lordaeron's fall and worrying that his daughter may require help in the western lands, took the remaining ships and sailed to Kalimdor to find her.[13] His grand armada took with it a sizeable portion of Kul Tiras' population,[13] apparently many settlers as well as soldiers and sailors.
At first, the location of Jaina and the survivors of Lordaeron was unknown[22] - Lieutenant Alverold was dispatched to scout the whole coastline of Kalimdor, while Proudmoore ordered various forces to head inland (such as Captain Thornby). Camps and fortifications soon sprung up across the eastern coast of Kalimdor. Unwilling to even parlay with the orcs that were his daughter's allies, the Grand Admiral relentlessly attacked the Horde in Durotar. Thrall ultimately ordered retaliation against the humans responsible, although he was unable to conclude them a separate force from Jaina's Theramore. The Kul Tiras fleet began attacking the Horde settlements on the Echo Isles, forcing the Darkspear trolls to relocate to the mainland. Kul Tiras forces even attempted to assassinate Thrall by trying to lure him to a parlay. Finally, Rexxar and his companions were sent by Thrall to Theramore to deliver a personal plea to explain the spate of human aggression, bypassing a large new settlement at Tidefury Cove.
Jaina met with Thrall's emissaries, and was bewildered by their accusations. Demanding to see proof, they journeyed back to Tidefury Cove to discover it destroyed by Naga. Finding survivors, Jaina recognised them as her countrymen. Teleporting back to Theramore Isle, Jaina was helpless to explain as her father arrived dramatically. Initially overjoyed, Admiral Proudmoore was incensed by his daughter's alliance with the Horde, and ordered her and the emissaries to be seized, taking over Theramore's military and defences. He returned to his main base at Tiragarde Keep in Durotar, building up for an assault on the orc capital of Orgrimmar. Thrall managed to rouse the trolls, tauren and even Stonemaul ogres to the Horde's banner, and the two factions battled across northern Durotar and at sea, ending with Tiragarde's destruction.
Thrall marched his armies to Dustwallow Marsh, where he was advised by a renegade Jaina Proudmoore to hire goblin shipbuilders to construct warships capable of breaking the blockade of Theramore, on the condition that Thrall attempt to spare the lives of her soldiers. After a long and climactic battle within Theramore itself, Daelin Proudmoore lay dead, slain by Rexxar, the Champion of the Horde. The remaining humans stood down, and a devastated Jaina ran to her father's side. Thrall left the city intact, and understanding this had been an incident out of Jaina's control, he maintained his treaty with Theramore Isle.
A sizeable, second wave of Kul Tiras sailors and marines from the Grand Admiral's expedition, led by Lieutenant Benedict, established themselves in Tiragarde Keep sometime later, continuing to fight the Horde as per Admiral Proudmoore's orders.[23] Even though the Horde was unable to expel them for many years, the Keep and its sailors were finally destroyed by the Cataclysm.[24] The fate of Lieutenant Alverold's expedition around Kalimdor is still unknown.
Kul Tiras in Warcraft II
- Leader: Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore
- Nation Color: Green
- Background: Before the First War, the far ranging merchant ships of Kul Tiras made it the most prosperous nation in the known world. When the Orcs began to raid the coastal settlements of Lordaeron, Admiral Proudmoore took it upon himself to construct an armada of warships. At the behest of his long time friend Anduin Lothar, Proudmoore has pledged the assistance of his merchant-nation to the Alliance.[25]
People and Culture
Something originating from Kul Tiras is known as "Tirasian".[26] "Tirassian" is also sometimes erroneously used.[27]
The people of Kul Tiras are wealthy, especially compared to the ravaged northern lands, and proud of their nation. They wear traditional green and fly flags with Kul Tiras's anchor emblem. Like Hillsbrad's citizens, Kul Tiras's people celebrate Hordefall every year. They hate the Scourge for wiping out the rest of their continent; they hate naga, murlocs and pirates for sinking their ships and stealing their resources; and they hate orcs for decimating their fleets in the Second War. They are staunch members of the Alliance and friends of Ironforge.
In the absence of his father, Admiral Tandred Proudmoore is now the acting leader of Kul Tiras. Tandred has built the Kul Tiras fleet back up, but it does not compare to the once grand fleets of years past. With help from his lady friend Captain Mishan Waycrest they do their best to destroy the murlocs, naga, and pirates that threaten the coasts and vessels of Kul Tiras.
The citizens of Kul Tiras possess a deep-seated anxiety. Their eyes dart about. Often looking to the west, where the greatest leaders of Kul Tiras and many of their warriors vanished, they wonder if they will ever again see their missing families. They are glad to have a Proudmoore as their leader, but all know that Tandred is not the man his father was.
In Kul Tiras, murlocs and naga crawl from the sea to torment sailors and fishermen. Pirates roam the waters preying on merchant vessels. Captain Dannol Scurvgrin, a truly vile pirate lord, has ties to the Bloodsail Pirates of the South Seas and sees Kul Tiras as his next big prize.[13]
Notable people from Kul Tiras
Kul Tiras is a large island off Khaz Modan's west coast, between Stormwind and Lordaeron. The unsettled areas are covered with rolling hills and sparse evergreen woods. Kul Tiras is temperate, though subject to sudden ocean storms. The nation is also very windy, which makes zeppelin rides perilous. Wild game includes few forest creatures such as foxes, squirrels and the occasional black bear.
The biggest asset to Kul Tiras is also its greatest danger: the sea. Kul Tiras's shores possess good fishing and provide ample seafood. It is said that Kul Tiras has the best lobster and king crab in all the land.
Nearby Crestfall, immediately off the northeast coast, and farther Tol Barad, in the same direction, are also parts of Kul Tiras. The Undermine map contains a boat path to/from Kul Tiras.
Kul Tiras has a number of named military organizations:
- Kul Tiras Elite Corps (accompanied Jaina Proudmoore's forces to Kalimdor)
- Admiral's Elite Guard[28] (guarded Admiral Daelin Proudmoore in battle on Theramore Isle)
- Kul Tiras Irregulars[29]
- Kul Tiras City Guard[29]
Along with the standard human, dwarven, gnomish and historically high elven soldiery of the Alliance, Kul Tiras has employed:
In World of Warcraft, soldiers of Kul Tiras bearing its tabard include Lieutenant Benedict, Watch Commander Zalaphil, Kul Tiras Marines, and Kul Tiras Sailors.
Sites and Settlements
Tiragarde Keep
- Main article: Tiragarde Keep
Formerly the citadel of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore during his invasion of Durotar, the ruined fort of Tiragarde Keep was subsequently held by Lieutenant Benedict who wished to continue Daelin's campaign to vanquish the orcs from Durotar.
Tiragarde Keep and all its inhabitants were drowned by the tidal waves caused by the Cataclysm. The Northwatch Expeditionary Force led by Lieutenant Palliter now occupy the ruins of the Keep.
Tidefury Cove
- Main article: Tidefury Cove
Admiral Proudmoore built a number of fortifications along the islands in Tidefury Cove to defend against Horde retaliation against Theramore. These were destroyed in a bitter battle by forces under command of Thrall and Rexxar, Champion of the Horde.
Darkspear Islands
The Kul Tiras marines had a base on the Darkspear Islands. Led by Kelen the Seeker, they frequently attacked the Darkspears trolls. The Darkspear enlisted the help of Thrall and the Horde to stop the settlement from attacking them. Near the end of the fight, the Horde and marines were captured by the Underworld minions to be sacrificed to the sea witch. Despite sharing a common foe, they continued to attack the Horde. Unlike the Horde, none appeared make out alive - many died in an attempt to break out, and the rest presumably drowned in the sinking of the island.
"Coastal Base"
- Main article: Coastal Base
Settlers from Kul Tiras founded this unnamed town on the shores of Dustwallow Marsh. Although defended by veteran soldiers, it fell to a suprise attack from the naga during Admiral Proudmoore's invasion of Kalimdor.
Tol Barad
- Main article: Tol Barad
Following the Second War, what remained of the blackened, derelict battlements was left to languish until the wizards of Kul Tiras claimed the isle for a new purpose. Towering walls were again stacked high from the war-scarred stones, but in their cleverness, the arcanists turned the citadel's defenses inward, designing a mystical prison to hold the most powerful criminals. Serving the Tirasian magi, the Stromic population formed the Baradin's Wardens: charged with ensuring that the deadly prisoners locked away in the mystic Baradin Hold never again walk free on Azeroth.
The prison, and indeed the island in general, has become a major site of conflict between the Alliance and the Horde, as well as a major daily quest hub in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
Wizards from both Dalaran and Stormwind oversee the complex, and prisoners include enemy mages, lesser and greater demons, warlocks and undead war criminals. The wizards do not allow anyone near the island and keep the prison's existence a secret.
- Main article: Crestfall
Crestfall is a large island off Kul Tiras's northeast coast, and part of the nation.
Crestfall boasts a sizable community of boaters and fishermen. These people do not like strangers—some visitors are nearly shot when approaching a town at night on this island. The riflemen are constantly on guard from the naga have been plaguing them recently. Rumors abound that a large naga force, under a warlord called Zethresh, hides near Crestfall's west shore. Zethresh reputedly seeks to cleanse the ocean and her isles of human encroachment.
- Main article: Boralus
The main settlement on the island of Kul Tiras is Boralus, the capital city of the nation.
- Main article: Drisburg
Drisburg is located on the northern coastline of Kul Tiras, the remains of what used to be a town with a large amount of immigrants from Khaz Modan. It was a thriving community until the Third War, as a Scourge army arrived and moved to raid the town. The garrison was far too small to save the city and although Duke Falrevere was nearby with his fleet, he decided that even if he was able to save the town it would claim too many casualties, so he turned his ships and abandoned Kul Tiras.
Presence in World of Warcraft
Kul Tiras played a major part in the events of the Second and Third Wars (that is, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos). However, according to the official World of Warcraft map, Kul Tiras is missing and does not appear off the shores of Khaz Modan. According to the lore, it is still a thriving (if somewhat diminished) part of the Alliance, and had barely been touched by the Scourge.
In the RPG book Lands of Conflict, and in Lands of Mystery, Kul Tiras still appears on the map. For a long time Blizzard made no comments as to whether Kul Tiras would appear in World of Warcraft. It is still possible that Kul Tiras will be added in future expansions or content drops, such as Gilneas. Blizzard blue poster Nethaera commented on this in a forum post stating that although there is a possibility of its inclusion later in the game they had no plans for it at present due to the large amount of story they already want to cover.[31]
Although Kul Tiras itself does not appear in the game at present, there are Kul Tirasian settlements scattered across the eastern coast of Kalimdor, most notably at Tiragarde Keep in Durotar. The forces of Theramore Isle and Northwatch Hold wear the anchor of Kul Tiras on a white field instead of green, reflecting Theramore's semi-autonomy from Kul Tiras under Jaina Proudmoore's rule. Kul Tiras Marines are briefly mentioned in part of the Missing Diplomat quest chain. [Kul Tiras Wine] appears in Northrend for the quest [70] In Wine, Truth.
Kul Tiras was not added in the Cataclysm expansion to World of Warcraft. According to Bornakk, Kul Tiras "will not be visible at the start of Cataclysm – something about tectonic plates shifting it out to sea.... We may yet get to experience Kul Tiras in later patches".[32] At Blizzcon 2010, Alex Afrasiabi responded to a questioner, "We have to save something for the future patches, not now. We will deal with Kul Tiras in the future."[33]
The isle of Tol Barad, however, which used to belong to Kul Tiras, was added in the Cataclysm expansion. Baradin's Wardens, the Alliance faction on Tol Barad, were known to wear Kul Tiras tabards in an early beta screenshot of the Eastern Earthshrine,[34] though it was later changed. Recently released info regarding Baradin's Wardens states that many of them do indeed hail from Kul'Tiras, suggesting the kingdom's continued involvement in Alliance affairs.[35]
Despite what was said, the idea of including in Kul Tiras has not yet come to light.
Notable Leaders
This is a chart following the events of Warcraft III and World of Warcraft.
History | Kingdom of Kul Tiras | |
Ruler | Daelin Proudmoore | Tandred Proudmoore |
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
The most likely location of Kul Tiras on the world map would have been directly west of Dun Morogh. However, with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, this area is now occupied by Vashj'ir.
The Tides of Darkness map places "Kul Tiras" on the eastern coast of the island. A city on the eastern side of the island is seen in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, during the Horde's assault on Kul Tiras (the wording of the mission title and objectives is ambiguous). This may indicate the capital, Kul Tiras, in the same vein as the other human kingdoms. In the RPG, Kul Tiras' capital is Boralus, said to be on the western side of the island.

Penetration of an external field change with arbitrary angle into a saturated superconducting filament
Haverkamp, M. and Haken, B. ten and Bottura, L. and Kate, H.H.J. ten (2002) Penetration of an external field change with arbitrary angle into a saturated superconducting filament. Physica C: Superconductivity, 372-37 (Part 3). pp. 1356-1359. ISSN 0921-4534

Abstract: | In many applications of superconductivity the magnetization of a saturated cylindrical superconducting filament is perturbed by an external field change. Especially in superconducting accelerator magnets local field changes have an impact on the magnetization in the coil. We analyze the behavior of the current distribution and magnetization of a single filament for field changes with different amplitudes and at arbitrary angles with respect to the original background field. Formulas are developed and the behavior of the magnetization is demonstrated. |

Q&A: What's A Multiple Marker Screening?
What's the multiple marker screening, and when is it performed?
The multiple marker screening (or triple screen or quad screen) is a simple blood test done between 15 and 20 weeks to detect the level of different substances in your blood: estriol, Human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG), Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and, if you're having a quad screen, Inhibin-A.Estriol is a hormone manufactured in combination by you, your placenta, and baby, while hCG and Inhibin-A are hormones made solely by the placenta. AFP is a substance made by your baby, and passes in a small amount from the placenta to your blood. Together, levels of these substances show baby's risk (or lack of) certain birth defects. (The only difference between the triple and quad screen is that the quad screen is more likely to identify whether a pregnancy is at risk for Down syndrome, and is less likely to give a false positive.) Abnormal results don't necessarily mean there's a problem, though — it's simply a signal that further testing — probably CVS or amniocentesis — is a good idea.
Make sure not to procrastinate! This test can only be accurately performed between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, and all it requires is a blood drawing. The triple screen can also detect whether your pregnancy is further along than previously thought. And, if you're beginning to suspect you might be eating for more than just two, this test will be able to tell you just how many buns you have in that oven!

Rialto Theatre
1085 Flatbush Avenue,
3 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 28 comments
In three days, Church of God, formerly the Century's Rialto Theatre will be 99 years old. A lot of fond memories here for me. Glad that is originally intact as it looked in 1916. I attend services here once in a while. L'Eglise De Dieux keeps the place immaculate and to their credit lovingly take care of one of Flatbush Avenues first theatre. When I made my communion in 1966 or so, my sister took me here to see "You Only Live Twice" and "The Fortune Cookie" with a Pink Panther cartoon. Loved that Century logo with the flying "C"'s converging into one and spelling outwards to the right (Century Theatres) before the coming attractions. Remember the music also that went with the snipe. Contrary to what is written in the introduction, the theatre closed August 30, 1977 with "Kentucky Fried Movie", also the same day was the closing of the Loew's Kings under the new management of ATM (American Theatre Management).
I was in the former Rialto this past Saturday night and for a service on Sunday morning. The enterior is in great shape. I'd say 85% intact. Stage curtains (waterfall type) are gone as is boxoffice. Otherwise stage procenium is now visible as are walls covered over by the removed drapery. The building is meticulous kept by the Eglise De Dieu staff members. The Century "spatter" carpeting does not exist anywhere in the building and the restrooms upgraded.
i worked at the rialto thearter in the early 70's. I remember we had the Sting sold out every weekend had ticket holder lines. also american graffiti. had over 2,000 seats.
Interesting photo from 2010. Church is French not Spanish. Didn't realize Century originated the Silver Screen Classic concept which is so popular with the General Amusment Multiplexes. When I lived in Farmingdale the classic usually sold out and it was in the largest auditorium.
My dad worked for Century Theatre throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, and I spent many happy hours in the dark throughout my childhood and teen years. He managed the Rialto from the early 1960s for several years (I was in high school at Erasmus, and we lived on the corner of Ocean and Caton). Around 1961 they tried running old movies at a discounted price (the only one I remember is "Meet Me in St Louis"), but this was years before the ever-growing interest in old films, and no one came, so they gave up this policy very quickly. I used to bring my friends or my "dates" on a Saturday night for free movies, and often afterwards we would head back down Flatbush Avenue to Jahn's ice cream parlor (or into Garfield's, to laugh at the "old" people hanging out all night, sipping a cup of coffee). Glad to see that the theatre is still standing…
I remember my father taking us to see "Thunderball" at the Rialto after the original theater we went to, the Kingsway, was sold out. The excitement surrounding the release of this 4th Bond film was incredible: far more excitement than the mania surrounding the release of "Batman" in 1989 or "The Dark Knight" 2 years ago.
The Rialto got a lot of United Artists films. I remember seeing "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming" and the Beatles in "Let It Be" there. It was a nice theater but I do not remember anything distinctive about it, unlike the beautiful Loews Kings which was about 2 blocks away. I also preferred the Albemarle which was about 3 blocks away.
I remember once eating at Henrys Ice Cream parlor,which was across the street, before seeing something at the Rialto. This nice little restaurant which used to put stuffed animals in its windows to celebrate the seasons, holidays, etc. held out a very long time as a nice middle-class neighborhood deteriorated into a dangerous area with hoodlums hanging out on the street, day or night. My express bus used to pass down Flatbush Avenue on the way to Manhattan. I marvelled at how long Henrys held out. Then about 15 years ago, they threw in the towel and Henrys was gone. The last time I passed that way, it had been converted into a Jamaican restaurant. Henrys joined the Rialto, Loews Kings,Albemarle, the Astor and the Kenmore as remnants of a better time on Flatbush Avenue.
I believe the Rialto did more than just show movies. I remember seeing Carmen Miranda in vaudeville there around 1948-9.
I visited the Rialto many times during the sixties. I remember seeing West Side Story at night. With my mom. Who worked across the street at Henry's ice cream parlor. I must have been around 8 0r 9 at the time. It was a very big deal. I remember her saying the parlor would get real busy when the show let out. Regarding the battle of the bands site. that would be at the Midwood @Flatbush and Glenwood Rd. I saw many battles there. the place was called the Midwood Terrace. It usually featured 4 or 5 bands set up around the floor with the top band set up on the main stage. It really wasn't so much a battle, more like a talent show. I know they had some pretty big acts like the Vagrants featuring Leslie West, Constant Changes which morphed into Alive & Kicking It was a great place to view the local talent.
My memories of the Rialto are from my high school days in the mid-60s. The Rialto used to show all the new James Bond releases. WOW were they popular. It was the first time I remember having to stand on long lines to get into a movie. Many times you had to wait on line to get into the next showing because the showing that just started was sold out.
Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, etc…..those are my memories of the Rialto.
Photos above show new circa 1947-48 marquees on Rialto and Albermarle Theaters.
Photos of Century's Rialto and Albermarle are at this url:
These pictures were taken in 1950. Flatbush Ave. trolleys stopped running early in 1951.
Here is a vintage postcard view from the early 1930's:
As you can see, the marquee has been damaged by a passing truck (or something?) at some time. The building is still in use as a church as can be seen on the sign on the right-hand side over the alley entrance on the second photo
Yes Warren, I can confirm you have the correct Rialto Theatre building. Here are a couple more photographs which I took in June 2006:
In Sidney Lumet's "Bye Bye Braverman" (1968, I think) there's a scene where the the main characters, who've been driving frantically around New York looking for a funeral, stop briefly and run into a Chinese restaurant, emerging, seconds later, with a basket full of egg rolls.
That Chinese restaurant was right next to the Rialto. In between this place and the theater is either a very thin street (too thin to drive a car down) or a service alleyway, I can't recall which.
In any event, the shots outside the restaurant were angled specifically so that the theater isn't shown.
That was a great restaurant while it was there. It turned into other businesses afterwards, but their sign remained for years afterwards, I don't know if it's still up there.
In '73 or '74 I took my Father's girlfriend Rita here to see Lucy in "Mame." I liked it !
Warren; I have just compared your Rialto photo above with a fairly recent photo I have of the Rialto, Brooklyn. Looks to me like the same building. Thanks for posting it.
The Rialto was a Century theater for my entire life (I was born in 1956). I never knew it as anything else but a Century theater. This needs to be updated.
In his recent autobiography "The Good, the Bad, and Me," actor Eli Wallach (born 1915) recalls going frequently to the Rialto when he was growing up in Brooklyn.
He writes: "On Saturday the Union Street Toughs would go to the Rialto, a movie palace about three blocks from my house. The Rialto had a big marquee with red and green lights flickering on it, and I would pay for my admission with the dime I had earned during the week… We would all sit on wooden benches in the smoke-filled theater and watch Westerns starring Tom Mix, Hoot Gibson, and William S. Hart, who became my heroes…" (pages 20-21)
Wallach could not have imagined that one day he would be acting in films himself, including westerns such as "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," from which his book derives its sly title.
I just thought of another story about this theater. My sister took me to this theater for one of the many times I saw Walt Disney's the Love Bug. She wanted me to describe the film and tell me what was going on. I did not know at the time I was helping her with a school project. I must have been a annoyance to people in the balcony.
The Rialto Theatre opened on 16th March 1916 with the movie "The Ne're Do Well" starring Harry Lonsdale and Kathlyn Williams. It's opening seating capacity was 1,542.
The header Function should be changed to; Church
Maddy TN:
Are you sure that wasn't the Loew's Kings? I was never at a battle of the bands in Brooklyn, but that would be the likely place. It had a stage behind the screen.

Dame Clara Ellen Butt, DBE (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936), was an English contralto. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer. Her voice, both powerful and deep, impressed contemporary composers such as Saint-Saëns and Elgar; the latter composed a song-cycle with her in mind as soloist.
Butt appeared in only two operatic productions, both of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. She wished to sing in Saint-Saëns' Samson and Delilah but was prevented from doing so. Later in her career she frequently appeared in recitals together with her husband, the baritone Kennerley Rumford. She made numerous recordings for the gramophone.
Early life and career[edit]
Clara Butt was born in Southwick, Sussex, the eldest daughter of Henry Albert Butt, a sea captain, and his wife Clara née Hook.[1] In 1880, the family moved to the port city of Bristol in England's West Country. Clara was educated at South Bristol High School, where her singing ability was recognised and her talent as a performer encouraged. At the request of her headmistress, she was trained by the bass Daniel Rootham (father of the composer Cyril Rootham) and joined the Bristol Festival Chorus, of which Daniel Rootham was musical director].[1]
Butt won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music (RCM) in January 1890. Her voice teacher was John Henry Blower,[2] and her piano teacher was Marmaduke Barton.[3] During her fourth year of vocal lessons at the college she spent three months studying in Paris, sponsored by Queen Victoria. She also studied in Berlin and Italy.[1]
She made her professional debut on 7 December 1892 at the Royal Albert Hall in London in Sullivan's cantata The Golden Legend. Three days later she appeared as Orfeo in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice at the Lyceum Theatre.[2] This was an RCM production, conducted by Charles Villiers Stanford.[4] Bernard Shaw, who was then the music critic for The World, wrote that she "far surpassed the utmost expectations that could reasonably be entertained", and forecast a considerable career for her.[5]
Butt travelled to Paris and undertook further studies with Jacques Bouhy (the teacher of two other deep-voiced female singers with international reputations, Louise Homer and Louise Kirkby Lunn). Later she polished her skills in Berlin with the famous retired soprano Etelka Gerster.[1] The French composer Camille Saint-Saëns heard her, and wanted her to study his opera Dalila, but at the time the representation of biblical subjects on the British stage was forbidden, and nothing came of it.[6] When the law changed and the work was given at Covent Garden in 1909 the part of Delila was sung by Lunn, to Butt's disappointment.[7]
Butt acquired a reputation in Britain for her vocal attributes and her physical presence on the concert platform: she was 6 feet 2 inches tall.[2] She made many gramophone recordings, often accompanied by the (uncredited) pianist Lilian Bryant. Among her recordings are several of Sullivan's song "The Lost Chord";[8] her friend Fanny Ronalds bequeathed the original manuscript of the song to her.[n 1] She was primarily a concert singer; her only operatic performances were in two productions of Orfeo ed Euridice. Britain's leading composer of the era, Edward Elgar, composed his song-cycle Sea Pictures for contralto and orchestra with her in mind as soloist; she sang at the first performance of the work at the Norwich Festival on 5 October 1899, with the composer conducting. Her only recording from the cycle was Where corals lie.
Clara Butt's tessitura (comfortable vocal range) was remarkably wide, from C below middle C to high A(C3 – A5).
20th century[edit]
On 26 June 1900 Butt married the baritone Kennerley Rumford and thereafter would often appear with him in concerts.[2] They had two sons and a daughter.[1] Besides singing in many important festivals and concerts, Butt appeared by royal command before Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, and King George V. She made tours of Australia, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, the United States and to many European cities.[1]
During the First World War, Butt organised and sang in many concerts for service charities, and for this was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours.[1] That year she sang four performances of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice at Covent Garden, with Miriam Licette, under the baton of Sir Thomas Beecham. According to The Times she was ill at ease on stage, and in the most famous number, "Che farò", her "attempt to sing it dramatically made her play fast and loose with the time and spoil the phrasing".[11] It was her only appearance on the professional operatic stage.[4]
Butt's three sisters were also singers. One, Ethel Hook, became a famous contralto in her own right, made some solo recordings, and in 1926 appeared in an early sound film made in the Lee De Forest Phonofilm sound-on-film process.
In later life, Clara Butt was dogged by tragedies. Her elder son died of meningitis while still at school, and the younger one committed suicide.[1] During the 1920s, she became seriously ill with cancer of the spine. She made many of her later records seated in a wheelchair. She died in 1936, aged 63, at her home in North Stoke, Oxfordshire, as a result of an accident she had suffered in 1931.[1]
Notes and references[edit]
- Notes
- ^ A copy of "The Lost Chord" was buried with Ronalds[9] but the D'Oyly Carte conductor David Mackie notes that Mrs. Ronalds bequeathed the original manuscript to Butt. In 1950, Rumford, Butt's widower, gave the manuscript to the Worshipful Company of Musicians, which still owns it.[10]
