Oceanfront? Yes, and exactly as it should be — with million-dollar views! Savor your morning coffee in a rocking chair on the upper deck —just steps from the kitchen — while you watch the kids play in the surf or the dolphins frolic in the waves. Go back out at dusk to enjoy the sunset and gentle evening breezes as you have supper around the picnic table, then watch the moon rise as you linger over dessert.
In between, after you've had enough sun and surf and fishing for the day, enjoy the private hot and cold outdoor shower. Then, grab a one of the great beach books from our extensive library and hang the hammock on the lower, shaded deck.
If rain showers blow through, take that book upstairs and curl up on one of the daybeds in the Crow's Nest, or just enjoy the oceanfront view that goes on forever. Or, if you're feeling more active, push back the three love seats that cluster around the big-screen TV and turn on our yoga DVD for your own private yoga class.
At night, stroll out your own private walkway to the dune deck and practice identifying the constellations (there's a great app for your iPhone or iPad to help you). Or, walk just 8/10 of a mile down down the beach to Bogue Inlet Pier and see what fish are biting. Or, push back the furniture like we do, and play some dance tunes through the iPod dock or by using one of the DVD players for your CDs. For a quieter time, enjoy our selection of puzzles and board games.
We have five cable TVs, two DVD players, some of our favorite old videos for the VCR, and, of course, clock radios in every bedroom. The big-screen TV also has Netflix and Amazon Prime on-demand video streaming. You should have no problem hooking up your own Wii or xBox to the TVs!
If you have trouble living completely on 'island time,' or if you absolutely have to bring work along, there is broadband Wi-Fi throughout the house.
The kitchen is fully equipped (including Jenn-Air range, microwave, toaster, toaster-oven, coffee maker, blender, slow cooker, ice maker, lots of specialty cookware and good kitchen knives that are sharpened between each rental). The inside dining tables seat twelve, in addition to the four stools at the breakfast bar, and we provide an ample number of table settings in case guests drop in.
There are four two-person bedrooms (two of them with king beds and two with queens — two are oceanfront, and two have nice ocean views). Each bedroom has its own full bath en suite and direct access to an oceanfront deck. The large Crow's Nest has four more single beds, and accesses one of the en suite bathrooms (one floor down) directly through a separate door, without having to go through the attached bedroom. There is also a queen sleep sofa in the living room.
Our duplex will sleep up to 12 on a side, with 4 of them (often kids) being in the Crow's Nest. But some folks prefer not to sleep people in the Crows' Nest at all, because they love its great views and like to use it as a refuge as the kids run in and out downstairs; others enjoy it as a dedicated media room to watch movies or the big game on the big screen. In fact, our low rates and great views have enticed some couples to rent the house for a getaway just for the two of them!
You can even double your bedrooms and bathrooms! If you need more room, remember that this is a duplex. Subject to availability, we can offer the other, mirror-image side for you to rent as well (and sometimes at a discount). While completely private and well soundproofed, the two units can communicate through otherwise-locked passage doors on the two decks, as well as through the rain-protected carport on the ground entry level. We enjoy renting both sides to host large families, weddings, company retreats, yoga and writing workshops, and groups of home-schoolers on field trips. However, if you do want to rent one side or both for a special event, please provide us details in your email inquiry so we can be sure that your plans and parking needs are a good fit for the house and neighborhood.
We welcome children of all ages. You'll find a couple of baby gates that you can position at the top and bottom of stairs. We do encourage you to sleep babies and toddlers in their parents' room, both for their safety and for their sense of security in a strange house. Because of sanitary and safety concerns, we don't offer cribs or high chairs, but we can help you rent up-to-date ones if you don't travel with them. Do bring your own outlet covers if you want them, as it is impracticable for us to guarantee that outlet covers remain in place in a vacation rental from week to week.
'I'm bored!' Well, if the beach and the surf and books and TVs and puzzles and games aren't enough for your kids, let them ride their bikes and skateboards on our quiet cul-de-sac or along the miles of paved pedestrian/bike paths in Emerald Isle. They'll also find a basketball goal in the cul-de-sac, and, within easy walking distance are two miniature golf courses, a go-kart track (well out of earshot!) a water slide, an arcade, and ice cream shops.
For the whole family, there are many other services and activities within easy walking distance: Bogue Inlet Pier, the grocery store, the ABC store, a coffee shop, a hardware store with fishing supplies and beach equipment, restaurants, a movie theater, surf shops, and numerous specialty stores. Extensive paved bike/walk paths make exploring more distant shops, services and scenery a breeze. Other adventures await you a short drive away: boat & kayak rentals, charter fishing, historic Swansboro and Beaufort, the NC Aquarium, Core Sound Waterfowl Museum, Cedar Point Park, Hammocks Beach State Park, Fort Macon State Park, cruises to Cape Lookout and dolphin-watch cruises. And don't forget the wonderful walk along the beach to Bogue Inlet at the western end of the island.
We can occasionally allow up to two small, short-haired, crate-trained dogs (in most cases only under 20 pounds), but only with special permission and a nonrefundable pet fee of $175 per dog. We love dogs, but please understand that we have to be picky because we need to be confident that we can quickly turn the house around in pristine shape for our next renters. Tell us about your dog – weight, breed, age, length of fur, on year-round flea and tick preventative, crate-trained? – and request that we email you the special provision in our rental agreement regarding pets. We really cannot allow any pets other than approved dogs – no cats or other species!
There is Absolutely No Smoking in the House! We do provide urns for the disposal of cigarette butt outside, and ask that you use them – not just because butts on the ground are unsightly, but because the beach grasses and high coastal winds can quickly fan a hot cigarette into a blaze threatening many houses.
While we prefer weekly rentals (usually Sunday-to-Sunday), we will at times consider renting for shorter periods with a nightly rate that is 1/5 to 1/4 of the weekly rate; because of the high demand for our house on a weekly basis, these shorter periods are typically available only for mid-November through mid-March, and only 10 days or less in advance. Discounted multi-week rates are available. Email us your questions!

Car: Recommended
Our oceanfront house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a residential neighborhood a short walk from the Food Lion supermarket, a coffee shop, ice cream shops, movie theater, restaurants, surf shops, Bogue Inlet Pier, the liquor store, a hardware store with fishing supplies, beach shops, miniature golf courses, water slide, a go-kart track (well out of earshot!) and arcade. Golf carts for tooling about the island may be rented nearby.
Extensive paved bike/walk paths make exploring slightly more distant shops, services and scenery a breeze. Other adventures await you a short drive away: Emerald Isle Woods Park, boat and kayak rentals, deep-sea charter-boat and guided fishing, the historic ports of Swansboro, Morehead City and Beaufort, the wild ponies of Shackleford Banks, day cruises to Cape Lookout and dolphin cruises, the NC Aquarium, Cedar Point Park, Hammock's Beach State Park, Fort Macon State Park and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. And, don't forget the wonderful walk along the beach from our house to Bogue Inlet at the western end of our island.
Swimming, boogie boarding, surf fishing (and your own fish-cleaning station!) are just steps away down your own private walkway to the beach!
Year Purchased: 1994
About the owner: I'm a native North Carolinian who grew up spending two weeks at the beach every summer with my extended family: mom and dad, my sister, grandma and grandpa, and assorted aunts, uncles and cousins. Those vacations were glorious, marked by huge family dinners (often featuring the fish that dad and granddad had caught that very day) and by hours riding an inflatable raft in the surf. I've tried to recreate that feeling at Emerald Isle for my own family, and for yours. We take pride in lovingly maintaining – and continually updating – a house that we, and you, will want to return to again and again. A lawyer by training, I'm a traveler by calling and a flying trapeze artist by passion. I've lived in four countries and traveled in many more. Always, everywhere, I'm on the lookout for a place to ride the waves that were so important to my childhood – whether in a huge wave pool on the shores of the Danube in Vienna or in the frigid waters of the North Sea. In exotic places or back home in Emerald Isle with my boogie board, I'm twelve years old again. Come to the beach and play! I'd love to chat with you about our beach house. Send me an email with your questions, or feel free to call me directly, anytime, on the phone number listed here on VRBO. We find it is very helpful to have direct conversations – at least by email – with all our renters. We want to be as certain as we can that our house is a good fit for your vacation needs so you will have a great experience, will want to return and will recommend us to your friends. And, we want all our renters to understand that they are guests in the home of a family just like theirs, because we believe that will encourage our renters to treat our home with the same care and respect they would want us to give their own home; that, in turn, helps us offer remarkably low rates.
Why the Owner Chose Emerald Isle:
When I returned to the States in the early 1990's after a diplomatic posting to South America, I began looking at beach houses within a few hours drive of my permanent residence in central North Carolina, in an area that had ample services but was not overbuilt. I visited scores of oceanfront houses, but none of them sang to me. Finally, I found a lovely vacant lot on a quiet cul-de-sac in Emerald Isle, and I set about designing a house that would incorporate the best features of what I had seen during my search.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We truly enjoy being able to walk and bike everywhere; we can easily park our car in the carport and not use it for two weeks. And, since we are always doing maintenance to keep the house fresh for you, we have come to love the smell of acrylic paint and caulk mixed with the salt air as we enjoy the ocean view from the top of a ladder!

Author information
Sir Terry Pratchett is a publishing phenomenon. Among his many prizes and citations are the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award, the Carnegie Medal, the BSFA Award, eight honorary doctorates and, of course, a knighthood. In 2012, he won a BAFTA for his documentary on the subject of assisted suicide, 'Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die'. He is the author of fifty bestselling books but is best known for the globally renowned Discworld series. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, and the series is still going strong almost three decades later. Four Discworld novels - Hogfather, Going Postal, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic - have been adapted for television, with more to follow. His books have sold approximately 85 million copies worldwide (but who's counting?), and been translated into thirty-seven languages. In 2007, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. He died in 2015.

It's alright. I mean, it's creepy and all, but I think if you make it longer and imrpove the animation (like the clown's face when he wanted to kill the guy). And I think the blood could have been more realistic.
For the future, I suggest cleaner animation and length and longevity. Really have something to offer.
I know you can do it man, keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your future flashes!

Still, you get a weird feeling from the music mostly, even the name of the song. It's almost like he's doing something to your soul. I'm not even going to say that the person was evil or even bad. Just saying knowing how the creator went out, then the music, AND THE TITLE OF THE SONG, really creepy.
As far as this being insight into his mind...it kinda is, however this is also a common beginner flash. Honestly the song says more than the animation. These thoughts were in his head prior to the animations, a little research will verify that. Part of a handicap that animation has is that you can only animate what you can....well....animate. However if this person created My Little Pony, they would of still been the same person, a textbook psychopath who xperienced a psycotic break.

ElSalvador is right. You can't expect flash animations to be an accurate indicator of psychological behavior. I mean Jesus Christ, the Salad Fingers guy should have stabbed half his neighborhood by now.

To calibrate a electronic compass provided with a magnetometer and being fixedly mounted in a motor vehicle the magnitude, and direction of interference magnetic field must be determined. For this purpose, a constant magnetic field Hg containing an earth's field component He' and the interference field component Hs, is measured by the magnetometer in a first position of the vehicle (Hg1) and then in a second position (Hg2) in which the vehicle is turned by 180°. From the measured constant field magnitudes and directions, (Hg1, Hg2) the interference field component Hs is calculated according to vector equation Hs +1/2 (Hg 1+Hg 2).
1. A method of determining an interference magnetic field component in a motor vehicle provided with an electronic compass, the compass having a fixedly mounted magnometer consisting of two probes, each probe having a horizontally arranged rod-like core of magnetisable material, the cores in respective probes including an angle of 90° relative to each other and each supporting a winding, means for applying an alternating auxilliary voltage to said windings to alternately magnetize said cores up to saturation, said auxilliary voltage being combined with voltages induced in said windings due to a constant magnetic field composed of an earth's magnetic field component and an interference magnetic field component, said combined voltages producing an alternating measuring voltage, and means for evaluating the duty cycle ratio of positive and negative halfwaves of said measuring voltage, the method comprising the steps of measuring the magnitude and direction (Hg1) of the constant magnetic field in a first position of the vehicle, then measuring the magnitude and direction (Hg2) of the constant magnetic field in a second position in which the vehicle is turned around a vertical axis by 180°, then computing from the determined values (Hg1, Hg2) the magnitude of the interference field component (Hs) according to vector equation
Hs =1/2(Hg1+Hg2)
and storing the computed Hs value for further processing.
The invention relates to a method of calibrating an electronic compass for measuring magnetic fields in vehicles, the compass being provided with a magnetometer of the type in accordance with the main claim. For measuring planetary magnetic fields it is already known from DE-PS No. 16 23 577 to use a magnetometer with a time code. The magnetometer contains a probe with two horizontally disposed magnetiseable rod like cores which are penetrated by an alternating field and the component of the magnetic earth's field being in the direction of the rod axis. Furthermore, it is known to establish the X-component or the Y-component of the earth's field with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle by means of two measuring coils which are offset with each other by 90° and to establish therefrom the size and direction of the applied magnetic field. However, the disadvantage exists that the earth's field to be determined superimposes with an interfering field generated in the vehicle, whereby the measuring accuracy can be considerably influenced. In navigation it is known to eliminate the interfering field directly on the compass, in that a counter directed field of the same strength is generated.
With the subject solution an effort is being made to determine an interfering field generated in the vehicle in accordance with size and direction measured with the compass, so that it can be considered as a correcting size for measuring the earth's field or for the further evaluation in the electronic compass.
The process in accordance with the invention and with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the size and the direction of a magnetic interference field in the motor vehicle is determined from two measurements of the size and direction of a constant magnetic field which already are to be made by the electronic compass. A further advantage consists in that no further measuring devices are required. Furthermore, it is possible in a simple manner to electronically store the measured values by actuating a standard calibration key in the two 180° deviating positions of the vehicle.
Advantageous further embodiments and improvements of the features stated in the main claim are possible by the measures stated in the subclaims. It is particularly advantageous when the vehicle in order to determine the interfering field is rotated by 360°. Thereby, the extreme values of the uniform field which are offset by 180° being measured by the magnetometer are picked up by a circuit and the interference field is determined in its size by arithmetic means from the two measured values, whereby the direction of the interference field is provided by the position of the maximum steady or constant field. The determined interference field of the vehicle is also stored in a storage as a correcting size by a previous actuating of a standard key and when determining the driving direction of the vehicle the interference field is subtracted from the constant field measured on the magnetometer in accordance with the size and the direction.
One exemplified embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and is explained in detail in the following description. The drawings show:
FIG. 1 a motor vehicle, wherein the drive direction is determined by measuring the magnetic earth's field by means of an electronic compass with a magnetometer,
FIG. 2 the circuit of a magnetometer for measuring a magnetic field picked up by a probe,
FIG. 3 the voltage path at different points of the circuit in accordance with FIG. 2, and
FIG. 4 the vectors of the interference field, the earth's field and the constant field composed therefrom being picked up by the probe when calibrating the compass.
A motor vehicle 10 is illustrated in plan view in FIG. l. For determining the drive direction the motor vehicle 10 is provided with an electronic compass consisting of a magnetometer 11 and an evaluation circuit 12. The magnetometer 11 is disposed below the roof of the motor vehicle 10 at about the center of the vehicle or also below the rear window and is connected through a cable 13 with the evaluation circuit 12 being disposed in the cockpit of vehicle 10. The evaluation circuit 12 which is provided with a computer is connected to an optical indicator 14 which instantaneously shows the driver the momentary drive direction or the direction to be taken, if need be, so as to reach a previously put in destination. The magnetometer 11 serves for measuring the direction of the earth's field with respect to the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle 10. For this purpose the magnetometer 11 is provided with two probes which are horizontally disposed and offset with respect to each other by 90°, one of which is illustrated in FIG. 2. One of the two probes is disposed on the X-axis and thereby in the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle 10, while the other probe is disposed transversely in the direction of the Y-axis. The vector of the earth's field He forms together with the X-axis an angle α. The X-component or the Y-component of the field He are measured in the two probes of the magnetometer 11 for determining this angle and the corresponding measuring values are fed to the evaluation circuit 12, wherein in a known manner the angle α is calculated by the computer and the drive direction or the deviation from the drive direction of the stated destination can be determined.
FIG. 2 illustrates the circuit structure of the magnetometer 11, whereby the circuit branch with the probe 15 being disposed in the direction of the Y-axis is illustrated in detail and is explained in detail in the following. The circuit branch for the probe being disposed in the direction of the X-axis is structured in the same manneer and is therefore illustrated in dotted lines and for simplicity sake is illustrated as a circuit block 16. Both circuit branches are supplied by a triangular generator 17 at the output of which an auxilliary alternate voltage Uh appears with an amplitude of 500 mV and a freqency of f=1 kHz, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The output of the triangular generator 17 is connected with the input of a voltage controlled current source 18, whereby one connection is applied on mass. The output of the current source 18 is connected to a winding 19 which is disposed on a high permeable, rodlike core 20 of probe 15. The winding 19 is also applied with one end to ground. The other end of winding 19 is applied to the plus input of a subtraction amplifier 21, whose minus input is connected with the non-grounded output of the triangular generator 17. The output of the subtraction amplifier 21 is connected with the input of a threshold value switch which consists of a Schmitt trigger 25 with switching thresholds which are symmetrical with respect to each other. The Schmitt trigger is formed by an operation amplifier 22, whose minus input is connected with the output of the sutraction amplifier 21 and whose plus input is connected with the tapping point of a voltage divider formed by the resistors 23 and 24 connected between the output of the operation amplifier 22 and the ground. The circuit block 16 contains for the nonillustrated probe which is disposed in the X-direction, a voltage controlled current source 18, a subtraction amplifier 21 and a Schmitt trigger 25 in a corresponding circuit. The outputs 26 and 27 of the circuit have to be connected through cable 13 with the evaluation circuit 12,14 (FIG. 1).
The mode of operation of the magnetometer 11 will now be explained in more detail with the assistance of the voltage curves illustrated in FIG. 3. The auxilliary alternate voltage Uh which appears on the output of the triangular generator 17 is illustrated on the time axis t1. It controls the current source 18 in such a manner that a corresponding triangular auxilliary alternate current occurs on the winding 19 which is connected to its output, which generates an auxilliary alternate field in the magnetiseable core 20 of probe 15. Due to this auxilliary alternating field the core 20 is magnetised until saturation in an alternate manner, i.e., in an alternating direction. Since the core 20 is also penetrated by the Y-component of the earth's field He (FIG. 1), both fields superimpose each other in core 20. Thereby, the Y-component of the earth's field He forms the magnetic field which is to be measured by the probe 15 and which penetrates the core 20 only in one direction and thereby brings core 20 earlier into saturation in one magnetisation direction, but delays the saturation in the opposite magnetisation direction. The magnetic field to be measured and the auxilliary alternating field being generated by the alternating current together generate with the applied voltage, which causes the magnetisation current, a measuring voltage Um on winding 19, which is illustrated on the time axis t2 in FIG. 3. The auxilliary alternating voltage Uh of the triangular generator 17 is now subtracted by the subtraction amplifier 21 from the measuring voltage Um in such a manner that the illustrated amplified difference appears as a measuring voltage Um1 illustrated on the time axis t3 in FIG. 3, at the output of the sutraction amplifier 21 and which corresponds to the voltage induced in the winding 19 by the total magnetisation field. The positive and negative halfwaves of the measuring voltage Um across the winding 19 or the amplified measuring voltage Um1 at the output of the subtraction amplifier 21 deviate from each other in dependency on the magnetic field to be measured. The dimension of the deviation is a measure for the dimension of the measured magnetic filed on probe 15 and consequently a measure for the Y-component of the earth's field He. For picking up this deviation of the positive and negative halfwaves, the amplified measuring voltage Um1 at the output of the subtraction amplifier 21 is applied to the input of the Schmitt-trigger 25. The generated rectangular output voltage Uy at the output 26 as illustrated on time axis t3 is fed to the evaluation circuit 12 (FIG. 1), whereby the scanning or duty ratio of the rectangular voltage, i.e., the time duration T1 of the positive amplitude to the time duration T2 of the negative amplitude represents a measure for the dimension of the Y-component of the earth's field He. The duty ratio T1 (T1 +T2) is determined by a computer, preferably a microcomputer of the evaluation circuit 12 and is further processed or stored.
The X-component of the earth's field He is determined in the same manner in the circuit block 16 and is fed through the output 27 in form of a pulse length modulated rectangular voltage with a duty ratio of the evaluating circuit 12 corresponding to the X-component of the earth's field (FIG. 1). When the earth's field to be determined is disposed exactly in the drive direction, that is, in the direction of the X-component or transversely thereto, that is, in direction of the Y-axis, a measurement of the magnetic field is taken only at one probe. The magnetic field component on the other probe is zero. Consequently, a measuring voltage with equal positive and negative halfwaves is generated and consequently the duty ratio of the associated output voltage Uy or Ux is equal to 50%.
The foregoing description of the exemplified embodiment is based on the assumption that no considerable interference field was superimposed on the earth's field He, which may be the case for motor vehicles with a plastic chassis and only a few iron parts. However, in the normal case an interference field is superimposed to the earth's field in the motor vehicle. The interference field is essentially caused by permanent magnetism in the sheet metal of the chassis an by the other iron parts of the vehicle and which could be in the order of magnitude of the earth's field. In order to eliminate this interference field during the operation of the electronic compass, a calibration must be performed in the vehicle after the compass had been installed. For this purpose the interference field is determined in the vehicle and the determined values are stored in a storage. During the operation of the electronic compass the values which are measured by the magnetometer are corrected with the stored values of the interference field.
With the assistance of FIG. 4 it will now be illustrated that an interference field measurement and interference field compensation in the electronic compass can be performed in a very simple and comfortable manner with the magnetometer 11, with the evaluation circuit 12 and the microcomputer contained therein. The coordination system already illustrated in FIG. 1 is used which is fixedly connected with the motor vehicle. Moreover, it is assumed that the motor vehicle is on a flat location. The constant field Hg which is measured by the two magnetic field probes is composed by the horizontal component He' of the earth's field He and the horizontal component of the interference field Hs in the motor vehicle. Thereby, φ' is the unknown angle of the earth's field He in drive direction, i.e., with respect to X-axis. The interference field Hs of the motor vehicle can be exactly determined by means of a simple calibration process in that in any given position of the motor vehicle the total constant field Hg1 which had been picked up by the magnetometer 11 is measured with a first measurement M1 and the measured X and Y values of this constant field are stored in the evaluation circuit 12 by actuating a calibration key. Thereafter, the motor vehicle is turned by exactly 180° and a second measurement M2 of the total constant field Hg2 is performed. With respect to the coordination system only the direction of the earth's field He changes due to the turning of the motor vehicle, whereby the interference field Hs of the motor vehicle remains unchanged both in magnitude and direction. Thereby the interference field Hs is obtained from the two measured values Hg1 and Hg2 of the constant field in accordance with the vector equation
This calculation can be performed in a simple manner by the microcomputer of the evaluation circuit 12 in that it adds the X-components and the Y-components of the measured values M1 and M2 of the constant fields Hg1 and Hg2 and divides this sum by two. In this manner the X and Y-components of the interference field Hs are determined and stored as correction values and are subtracted therefrom at all further measurements.
FIG. 4 in furtherance illustrates that due to the turning of the motor vehicle around a vertical axis, the vector of the earth's field He rotates around the end point of the vector of the interference field Hs. The circle performed by the earth's field vector is shown in dashed lines. The angle φ' between the earth's field He and the drive direction of the motor vehicle results from the calculation being performed by the microcomputer of the evaluation circuit 12 in accordance with the equation ##EQU1## Thereby Hgy and Hsy are the Y-components of the constant field Hg and of the interference field Hs, while Hgx and Hsx are the X-components of these measuring values.
The measuring of the X and Y-components of the constant field by the electronic compass can be realized in a simple manner in that the two probes of the magnotemeter 11 which are turned by about 90° with respect to each other are coupled alternatingly with a voltage controlled current source 18 and a subtraction amplifier 21 with series connected Schmitt-trigger 25. The measuring values which are fed through a measuring line must then be screened out in the evaluation circuit 12 at a corresponding time cycle.

Marla Parvey and Judie B. Greenman will lead our discussion.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure's converge.

Movie and Ice Cream Social
From Romania comes a breath of fresh air, far above the usual action film Hollywood keeps churning out with pointless abandon. Closer to the Moon, filmed in English with a wonderful cast of American and British actors headed by Vera Farmiga and the great London stage star Mark Strong, is a unique and unbelievable yet totally true footnote to history set in 1959 Bucharest about five intellectual Communist Jews who form a gang during a New Year's Eve party in a whorehouse to rob the National Bank of enough money to send thousands of Jews to Israel. You don't get a plot like that every day

His artistic career began in 1956 with the publication of "Let Us Compare Mythologies," He has published nine collections of poetry, most recently, "Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs" (1993), and two novels, "The Favourite Game" (1963)" "and" Beautiful Losers "(1966). During the sixties he achieved national and international acclaim as a composer-singer. He has made seventeen albums, the latest being "Dear Heather "(2004).

Interesting choices. Seems to me, the weekly has chosen a group of self-centered, single issue people who are not concerned about PA as a whole. BTW, beware of "friends" groups--they scream single issue. Typical and not unexpected choices from the Weekly.

As far as they were concerned it was a fourth-century innovation adapted in part from the pagan festival of Saturnalia.
That is the sense of the Saturnalia, of Mardi Gras and of these moments of entertainment.
time of merrymaking, 1590s, from Latin Saturnalia, ancient Roman festivals of Saturn (held in December), a time of merrymaking for all, from neuter plural of adjective Saturnalis "pertaining to Saturn," from Saturnus (see Saturn). They correspond to the Greek Kronia. The extended sense of "period of unrestrained revelry" is first attested 1782. Related: Saturnalian.

I've been adopted!
Hi! My name is Tanay. I am a little, super cute, neutered dwarf boy. I'm kinda of shy, so I prefer when people are peaceful and take their time getting to know me. I know it's hard to resist just wanting to scoop me up and kiss me all over my precious little, furry body, but patience will get you much further with me. I'm a nice bunny who just needs some time to get comfortable with people and would do best with adults or older, respectful kids.
I'm not as nervous though when it comes to meeting other bunnies.
My bossy side comes out and I definitely want to be in charge!
I hope you will visit me soon!

Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron is an American actress that has dominated the action/drama blond role for the past several years. In addition to her duties in Hollywood Charlize Theron has taken up several personal crusades as she continues to try and improve society
Following up the overwhelming success of "Gone Girl," Gillian Flynn is back with a new novel-turned-movie called "Dark Places" and it certainly lives up to its name.
Starring Charlize Theron, Christina Hendricks, Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Hoult and Corey Stoll, the much-anticipated flick is slated to hit theaters on August 7th.
For the past year-and-a-half they've had one of the hottest and heaviest romances in Tinseltown, but now Charlize Theron and Sean Penn have reportedly broken off their relationship.
According to Us Weekly, the "Italian Job" actress split up with the "Mystic River" man after they returned from the Cannes Film Festival in May, telling close friends that their romance had "run its course."
Rounding out the weekend with a trophy-filled evening, the 2015 Critics' Choice Television Awards kicked off on Sunday night (May 31).
This year, Cat Deely handled the hosting duties as the event celebrated the year's most noteworthy shows and actors across a whopping 25 categories in total.
Stepping out for a swanky evening, the cast of "Mad Max: Fury Road" attended the big premiere at the 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Thursday night (May 14).
Charlize Theron was marvelous in a yellow mermaid gown as she posed for photos alongside Tom Hardy, Courtney Eaton, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz and director George Miller.
Kicking off the day with some press duties, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron showed up at the 68th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on Thursday (May 14).
Joined by Nicholas Hoult, the "Dark Knight Rises" hunk and the "Italian Job" babe posed for the paparazzi during a photocall for "Mad Max: Fury Road" while fans looked on excitedly.
The South of France is swollen with celebrities as throngs of famous folks are coming to town for the 68 th Cannes Film Festival.
And earlier today (May 12) Charlize Theron jetted into the Nice Airport where she was surrounded by autograph-seeking fans and plenty of paparazzi.
She's always up for pretty much anything, so when Charlize Theron paid a visit to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last night (May 11) she was all about clowning around with the host.
The "Italian Job" star was in the house to promote her new movie "Mad Max: Fury Road," though she found herself playing dress up with Fallon and wearing gold trousers, a sparkly top and some seriously crazy platform shoes.
Kicking off the weekend a little early, the cast of "Mad Max: Fury Road" showed up at the TCL Chinese Theater on Thursday night (May 7) for the big Tinseltown premiere.
Charlize Theron brought along her handsome beau Sean Penn and posed up a storm with costars Tom Hardy and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley before heading inside.
We never get tired of admiring her beauty, and Charlize Theron is on full display for the June 2015 cover of Elle UK magazine.
The "Italian Job" actress is stunning in Bottega Veneta and Intimissimi, photographed by the famed Bjarne Jonasson, and in her interview she discusses how she managed to score equal pay for her role in "Snow White and the Huntsman." "I have to give them credit because once I asked, they said yes. They did not fight it. And maybe that's the message: That we just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way."
She certainly knows how to turn up the heat, and Charlize Theron is smoking (literally) in her new cover story for the May 2015 edition of W magazine.
Sporting plenty of Cartier bling, the 39-year-old "Italian Job" actress showcases her flawless physique in a series of snapshots taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Coast Guard:
Budget and Management Challenges for 2003 and Beyond
GAO-02-538T: Published: Mar 19, 2002. Publicly Released: Mar 19, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8984
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Like many federal agencies, the Coast Guard's priorities were dramatically altered by the events of September 11. The Coast Guard has requested $7.3 billion for fiscal year 2003--a 36 percent increase from the previous year. The events of September 11 caused a substantial shift of effort toward homeland security and away from other missions. As resources were shifted to meet these needs, the law enforcement mission area, which consists mainly of drug and migrant interdiction and fisheries enforcement, saw a dramatic drop in mission capability. The Coast Guard's fiscal year 2003 budget request reflects an attempt to maintain and enhance heightened levels of funding for homeland security while also increasing funding for all other Coast Guard missions beyond fiscal year 2002 levels. The Coast Guard faces substantial management challenges in translating its requested funding increases into increased service levels in its key mission areas. For example, workforce issues present a daunting challenge. If the budget request for fiscal year 2003 is approved, the Coast Guard will add 2,200 full-time positions, retain and build on the expertise and skills of its current workforce, and deal with already high attrition rates and looming civilian retirements. The Coast Guard has yet to determine the long-term level of security needed to protect the nation's major ports. These challenges mean that, in the short term, additional funding may not increase the Coast Guard's ability to carry out its missions.

About MeI'm currently doing band interviews for a metal webazine and have been interested in modeling. I hope to add to my portfolio and expand my skills. This is something I've been interested in doing for the past 3 years but finally feel its time to get things going.
