5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to Tolkien's aesthetics,
Vladimir Cvetkovic Sever (Zagreb, Croatia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
The book was originally a publishing concoction consisting of only two items, short story 'Leaf by Niggle' and essay 'On Fairy-Stories'; both have since become readily available in other editions. But even if you already have the texts in your collection, know that 'Tree and Leaf' has sprouted new branches since its first publication in 1964, as is only fitting. First, in 1988, Tolkien's poetic dialogue 'Mythopoeia' was added; this new 2001 edition also includes 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth' - the only sequel to another author's work by JRRT that I know of (albeit one nameless, and dead for a milennium). The four works now form a strong whole: the essay lays out the groundwork for virtually all of Tolkien's fiction and sheds much light on the value system underlining his creative choices. This is literary theory of a sort that is almost extinct in university courses nowadays - and feels like a breath of fresh inspiration after so many postmodern dead ends, frankly. 'Mythopoeia' brings this argument with modernity out in a style reminiscent of classical dialectics (in verse and quite amusing to boot); but then 'Leaf by Niggle' explodes in a flash of what the book has previously only talked about: it is the real thing, one of Tolkien's most poignant works, and the sheer concentration of emotion in it rivals his best mythological stories. 'Beorhtnoth' now gives the end of the book a sombre tone, an elegy of times and heroes gone and on the way to be forgotten - written in a prime example of Old English verse.
Maybe not meant to be experienced in this order, the four items certainly form a strong whole, one essential to the understanding of the author - more so than anything you might see in cinema these days...

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant book that I will remember always.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tree and Leaf (Paperback)
I bought this in my "Must read everything by Tolkien" phase having just read Lord of the Rings. It is essentially an essay on Fairy Tales, but it has some wonderful theories and concepts. When I re-read the book years later, it hit me so hard I'll never be the same, as it dawned on me just what amazing things Tolkien was saying. The ideas from this have doubled my enjoyment of every book I have read since.

5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of words, and of adventure,
The bookloving Norman (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
Although the other texts included in "Tree and leaf" (Mythopoeia, Leaf by Niggle and the Homecoming of...) are interesting and valuable, the reason to purchase this slim volume lies in the essay "On fairy-stories": in this terse piece of writing, originally meant for a lecture, Tolkien defends the right of writers to create beautiful stories with little or no apparent connection to "The real world", and the right of readers to find consolation in the healing power of beauty. This way he doesn't only justify the work of his entire life, the creation of Middle Earth and the stories of men, hobbits and magical rings, but he claims its connection to ancient mythology and especially to the world of heroes such as Beowulf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magical, enchanting and spellbinding ~ this beautiful book by JRR Tolkien is simply stunning!,
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
`Tree and Leaf' (2001 edition) also contains Mythopoeia, the Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, on fairy stories and Leaf by Niggle. *Note: some of which you can find in the book titled "Tales from the Perilous Realm" *In Tolkien's world fairy stories are not just for children and the magic of the fantasy genre is exquisitely captured, in such a way as to delight and dazzle many a reader (who may have cause to call it juvenile). This beautifully illustrated, elegant volume gives fantasy `the inner consistence of reality'. This edition also contains a preface by Christopher Tolkien (regarding the poem Mythopoeia) and additional information on other books by JRR Tolkien, including the extensive history of Middle Earth.
Leaf by Niggle ~ recounts the story of the artist, Niggle, who has `a long journey to make' and is seen interestingly as an allegory of Tolkien's life. Written concurrently as `the Lord of the Rings' was taking shape, it shows Tolkien's mastery and understanding of the art of sub-creation.
Mythopoeia ~ the author Philomythus (lover of myth), confounds the opinion of misomythus (hater of myth).
The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth ~ Professor Tolkien's dramatic poem which takes up the story following the disastrous battle of Maldon in 991, where the English Commander Beorhtnoth was killed.
This indisputably exceptional book is a must-read for all devoted Tolkien fans and ardent admirers of this intriguing Professor's life, for it goes as far as to explain the nature of his art and to justify his success. Tolkien's love for the common fairytale is expressed through his fantasy works, and it is fascinating to read in this book how they have inspired his work to such an extent. Full of significant meaning, thought-provoking connotation and interesting facts `Tree and Leaf' is an unmissable read which delves a little deeper into the mind of a literary genius and extraordinary myth-maker, whose life work and creation remains today simply astonishing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tolkien's farewell to the land of Faery, and Leaf By Niggle,
Mike London "MAC" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf/Smith of Wootton Major/The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth (Paperback)
Smith of Wootton Major, written between 1964 and 1966* and published in 1967, is a meditation on the gift of fantasy. It originally was to be a very short story to be included to a preface of George MacDonald's famous faerie story The Golden Key. The story soon began a life of its own, and though altogether brief gives an insightful view into Tolkien's life.
The story is about Smith, who is a normal boy of all accounts. In his village are great feasts, and the Feast of Twenty Four is held. A star, little more than thought a Trinket by the Master Cook, is placed within tie cake, and he eats it unknowing. Then beauty comes upon him, and after he grows up begins to wonder in Faery. This is much the life of Tolkien. Born in South Africa in 1892, he was a little British boy that came to live in England. He became immersed in two things: mythology and language. Soon, so in love with language, he began inventing his own. In the end, he wished to have people speak his languages, to have a history behind it: thus arose Middle-earth. Then, as time went on, just as Smith, Tolkien explored the fantastic worlds, and was accustomed to strange lands.
In the story it is stated he spoke little of it to anyone OUTSIDE of his family. This is also true of Tolkien. Although his (deeply loved) wife was not real involved in his writing, he shared his stories with his family, and it is not to far to say that had it not been for his four children The Lord of the Rings would never have been written. (To understand this statement, one must first realise who The Hobbit was written for. It was written for his children. This, along with Farmer Giles, Roverandom (newly published), the Father Christmas Letters, and Mr. Bliss, his children's picture book personally illustarted by him. Unwin, his publisher wanted a sequel to The Hobbit, so he began The Lord of the Rings, a much less serious work in the beginning than at last evolved too. So without these we would not have gotten his adult masterpiece).
Then old age approached. Although his mind was not dimmed, time had worked its decay on his body, and much of his strength was sapped. He realised that he was a mortal, and even though he had had a passport to Faery, it did not grant him eternal physical life. Tolkien was sad about this, and wished to finish The Silmarillion. But life is life, and Tolkien knew his life was drawing to an end. Just like his beautiful little people who also knew morality, the hobbits, he died in 1973, 2 September, just shy of dying ten years after his friend C. S. Lewis (who died the same day as Auldous Huxley and JFK). Tolkien, just as Frodo and Bilbo, went on the great ships into Paradise, Heaven. He took sick with a gastric ulcer, and developed a chest infection, dying.
Tolkien was of melancholy temperament, and they are notorious for being prone to depression. Tolkien was of the great artistic class, and he knew depression well. It was depression that this story was borne of. In the very last letter in LETTERS OF J. R. R. TOLKIEN, he tells his daughter as something of a P. S. "It is stuffy, sticky, and rainy at present - but forecasts are more. favourable". As far as my knowledge goes, that is the last thing he wrote, being four days before his death. There is much hope in that statement, even though Tolkien had no way of knowing how much relevance that to that moment in his life.
This is the closest thing of autobiography he has written. This, along with his marvelous short story Leaf by Niggle, are essential of you want to read and understand this Godly man's life. Tree and Leaf, a small book containing the short story aforementioned and his classic essay On Faerie Stories, along with this, will enlighten you greatly on his views of Faerie. These three are essential to understand this man. Leaf By Niggle is him venting his frustration, and then him expressing great hope for his work. It also reflects his Catholicism, as Niggle goes thru purgatory.
*This is deduced from LETTERS OF J. R. R. TOLKIEN. In letter 262, Tolkien accepts the invitation to write a preface to The Golden Key, the short story by MacDonald. It was here, in that abandoned preface, that he began Smith, of what was to be a very short story. It had a life of its own, and grew to present length. In letter 270, dated 20 May 1965, Tolkien is talking to Rayner Unwin, his publisher (and as a child reviewed THE HOBBIT for publication, who received, if my memory serves me correctly, ten shillings for reading and writing a little report over it for his father Stanley.) The typescript of this story had been submitted for publication
[This Review of "Leaf By Niggle" was written in early 2000, and has never been published before now]
Leaf By Niggle
J. R. R. Tolkien, in his short story "Leaf By Niggle", expressed his frustrations of writing his mythology. J. R. R. Tolkien showed how his dreams were being frustrated. The story concerns a painter named Niggle. Like most short stories, this name is of importance. Niggle is defined as "". This is Niggle to the bone. He is a painter, and begins to paint a leaf that soon grows to a large tree, and then a grand landscape. But he wants the entire landscape to have the detail of the original leaf. Soon, it grows so big that all of his painting is concerned with this, and what is not is tacted on and made to be a part of the painting. Tolkien described himself well in this story. Just like Niggle, he brooded excessively over the smallest details. Yet his dream is to have a world as complex as Niggle's painting. Tolkien found all sorts of distractions to keep him from continuing on with his main work, which was his mythology. This was how he worshiped God. He called it "sub-creation". The journey that the story speaks of is death and purgatory. Tolkien/Niggle wants to have his work completed before he has to leave the world, but feels that distractions will keep him from it. In the story, Niggle cannot say no to people, particulary his neighbor Parish. Niggle feels it is his duty and obligation to the law. In the end, however, death comes upon Niggle, and he is taken to Purgatory. Tolkien was a Catholic, and this represents his religous side.
Tolkien was, first and foremost, a religious writer. This needs to be understood before one can fully realize the meaning of this last story. His basic concept was that, in the act of "sub-creation", which he was doing with his mythology, and which people in artistic endeavors do in general, he was praising God. He was imitating his father, taking on the role of God in his own private universe. After completing purgatory, he is taken to his country. When Niggle realizes he is in the place that had only previously been imagined by him, he rejoices. He is later reconciled to Parish, and who was once a hindrance is now a help. Tolkien, with his dear friend C. S. Lewis, make a very balanced pair of Christian writers. In one, a person has access to fiery intellect and reasoning, the other grand imagination and a fully detailed universe. In this, Tolkien and Lewis make a very good balance of each other. In a way, Lewis could be represented by Parish, although in a very limited way.
Ultimately, this story is an expression of hope and faith by Tolkien. This is the closest thing to an autobiography to ever come fro his pen. Even if he does not finish his great painting, he will be rewarded for his toils. This story could not have come from an unreligous man. It reflects Tolkien's strong personal belief in God, and his grand purpose in such works and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This story, basically, is a summation of his life work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A glimpse of beauty,
Amazon Customer (Here) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
I'd totally recommend getting this if only for the short story "leaf by Niggle". Which in spite of Tolkien's professed "cordial dislike of allegory" is profoundly allegorical. I keep reading this every few months as a reminder of the narrative and purpose of life. Tolkien has allowed some of us to glimpse a little of the meta narrative of his work, and how he saw himself in the world. Really worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not exclusively Tolkienian,
R.J.W89 (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
I get frustrated when reviewers of Tolkien's works (fiction or other) tend to wrap his legendarium complete with his theory in a box-like container, only applicable to Tolkien. The collection of pieces in 'Tree and Leaf' are a testament to its non exclusiveness. The idea of a 'sub-creation' can be applied to many artists, indeed, Tolkien was subscribing to the view BECAUSE he was an artist, and not as a sort of extended appendix to his own works. Of course his essays do help us to understand the scope of Middle Earth, but only in so much as it tells us it's a sub-creation- a fragmented vision of the true creation (God's).
That aside, this will continue to be a treasured book of mine, and I will bear it in mind whenever I come to any piece of art.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Mind Expanding Book,
This review is from: Tree and Leaf: Including MYTHOPOEIA (Paperback)
This book shows Tolkien in all his glory, it shows his reason and creativity through the essay and poems/story. My only reservation is that he is very clearly responding to a view of his time which does not seem to persist in the 21st Century.

Mr. David E. Buckley "David Buckley" (East Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree and Leaf, Smith of Wootton Major, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth (Paperback)
Firstly. the quality of the second hand book. It was in very good condition and was a good format. I don't think Unwin maintained this size for long or it may have been lost in the multiple mergers. This is (I think) the only source of the "Homecoming of Beorhtnorth" which I wanted to read. It is worth the effort of reading and sdds to my respect of Tolkien. The other stories in the book, I had read before, but reread. "Smith of Wootton Major" is a fascinating faerie tale, but "Leaf by Niggle" is a bit twee and annoying. It was almost an allegory, a type of story Tolkien despised. The essay "On Fairy Stories" is well worth reading as a clear account of Tolkien as a writer of great faerie tales.
5.0 out of 5 stars Myth and Fairie. What's their point? Can we reclaim their wisdom?,

During the workshop on « Promoting Political Participation from People 2011″ in Antsirabe
Egypt, Tunisia and Spain, Senegal and finally Russia, those are countries where the social commitments of my friend bloggers were fruitful. If they could reach their goals, it is also high time for us to be responsible and take the population's side till we get results.
Indeed, the reason to revolt against political mistakes is an absolute rights to each individual.
Theoretically, in a country where Rule of law matters, the main characteristics of a democratic regime is focused on the respect of hierarchy and norms as well as equality in terms of individual's rights and an independent justice.
Which of these elements are respected in Madagascar? None, in my opinion, the first person in charge who has stepped back from this institution is the specialist of the incantation "chief of the Judiciary of the non-democratic republic, the event guru and the professional in the field of animation of the high authority of transition" Andry Rajoelina, who is also a man with irresponsible character, immature and careless, and incapable of managing the situation prevailing in the country.
I will not tergiversate since nowadays, it is very difficult for us to go to the street and organize a popular movement due to the paranoia of some officers within the public administration who support this incompetent regime. Thus, for the moment I am launching a call targeted to this man who is ruling the High Authority of Transition that he publicly apologizes among my fellow citizens like the way the former President did and resign at the same time. For the pure and simple reason that he has led this country and the whole population in a never lasting tunnel due to his greed of power.
No tears will be shed regarding the resignation of Andry rajoelina who gave such bad examples by taking direction away from all good senses and logics of a modest President.

Fun pulpy Nazi-face-punching action
I'm finally returning to do video game reviews, with a look at Pandemic Studios last game, The Saboteur.
So, I bring up William Grover-Williams in the review - an article on wikipedia about him can be found here. His life story is really impressive, and pretty clearly is the model for Sean Devlin, though Devlin's story ends happier - Grover-Williams was eventually captured and died in a concentration camp.

Benchmark-based Page Replacement (BBPR) Strategy: A New Web Cache Page Replacement Strategy
Date: May 2003
Creator: He, Wei
Description: World Wide Web caching is widely used through today's Internet. When correctly deployed, Web caching systems can lead to significant bandwidth savings, network load reduction, server load balancing, and higher content availability. A document replacement algorithm that can lower retrieval latency and yield high hit ratio is the key to the effectiveness of proxy caches. More than twenty cache algorithms have been employed in academic studies and in corporate communities as well. But there are some drawbacks in the existing replacement algorithms. To overcome these shortcomings, we developed a new page replacement strategy named as Benchmark-Based Page Replacement (BBPR) strategy, in which a HTTP benchmark is used as a tool to evaluate the current network load and the server load. By our simulation model, the BBPR strategy shows better performance than the LRU (Least Recently Used) method, which is the most commonly used algorithm. The tradeoff is a reduced hit ratio. Slow pages benefit from BBPR.

Boosting for Learning From Imbalanced, Multiclass Data Sets
Date: December 2013
Creator: Abouelenien, Mohamed
Description: In many real-world applications, it is common to have uneven number of examples among multiple classes. The data imbalance, however, usually complicates the learning process, especially for the minority classes, and results in deteriorated performance. Boosting methods were proposed to handle the imbalance problem. These methods need elongated training time and require diversity among the classifiers of the ensemble to achieve improved performance. Additionally, extending the boosting method to handle multi-class data sets is not straightforward. Examples of applications that suffer from imbalanced multi-class data can be found in face recognition, where tens of classes exist, and in capsule endoscopy, which suffers massive imbalance between the classes. This dissertation introduces RegBoost, a new boosting framework to address the imbalanced, multi-class problems. This method applies a weighted stratified sampling technique and incorporates a regularization term that accommodates multi-class data sets and automatically determines the error bound of each base classifier. The regularization parameter penalizes the classifier when it misclassifies instances that were correctly classified in the previous iteration. The parameter additionally reduces the bias towards majority classes. Experiments are conducted using 12 diverse data sets with moderate to high imbalance ratios. The results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed method compared ...

Bounded Dynamic Source Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Date: August 2003
Creator: George, Glyco
Description: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile platforms or nodes that come together to form a network capable of communicating with each other, without the help of a central controller. To avail the maximum potential of a MANET, it is of great importance to devise a routing scheme, which will optimize upon the performance of a MANET, given the high rate of random mobility of the nodes. In a MANET individual nodes perform the routing functions like route discovery, route maintenance and delivery of packets from one node to the other. Existing routing protocols flood the network with broadcasts of route discovery messages, while attempting to establish a route. This characteristic is instrumental in deteriorating the performance of a MANET, as resource overhead triggered by broadcasts is directly proportional to the size of the network. Bounded-dynamic source routing (B-DSR), is proposed to curb this multitude of superfluous broadcasts, thus enabling to reserve valuable resources like bandwidth and battery power. B-DSR establishes a bounded region in the network, only within which, transmissions of route discovery messages are processed and validated for establishing a route. All route discovery messages reaching outside of this bounded region are dropped, thus ...

Building an Intelligent Filtering System Using Idea Indexing
Date: August 2003
Creator: Yang, Li
Description: The widely used vector model maintains its popularity because of its simplicity, fast speed, and the appeal of using spatial proximity for semantic proximity. However, this model faces a disadvantage that is associated with the vagueness from keywords overlapping. Efforts have been made to improve the vector model. The research on improving document representation has been focused on four areas, namely, statistical co-occurrence of related items, forming term phrases, grouping of related words, and representing the content of documents. In this thesis, we propose the idea-indexing model to improve document representation for the filtering task in IR. The idea-indexing model matches document terms with the ideas they express and indexes the document with these ideas. This indexing scheme represents the document with its semantics instead of sets of independent terms. We show in this thesis that indexing with ideas leads to better performance.

Case-Based Reasoning for Children Story Selection in ASP.NET
Date: December 2003
Creator: Hu, Demin
Description: This paper describes the general architecture and function of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system implemented with ASP.NET and C#. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and XML Web Services provide a flexible, standards-based model that allows clients to access data. Web Form Pages offer a powerful programming model for Web-enabled user interface. The system provides a variety of mechanisms and services related to story retrieval and adaptation. Users may browse and search a library of text stories. More advanced CBR capabilities were also implemented, including a multi-factor distance-calculation for matching user interests with stories in the library, recommendations on optimizing search, and adaptation of stories to match user interests.

CLUE: A Cluster Evaluation Tool
Date: December 2006
Creator: Parker, Brandon S.
Description: Modern high performance computing is dependent on parallel processing systems. Most current benchmarks reveal only the high level computational throughput metrics, which may be sufficient for single processor systems, but can lead to a misrepresentation of true system capability for parallel systems. A new benchmark is therefore proposed. CLUE (Cluster Evaluator) uses a cellular automata algorithm to evaluate the scalability of parallel processing machines. The benchmark also uses algorithmic variations to evaluate individual system components' impact on the overall serial fraction and efficiency. CLUE is not a replacement for other performance-centric benchmarks, but rather shows the scalability of a system and provides metrics to reveal where one can improve overall performance. CLUE is a new benchmark which demonstrates a better comparison among different parallel systems than existing benchmarks and can diagnose where a particular parallel system can be optimized.

A Comparison of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering Frameworks and Methodologies
Date: December 2003
Creator: Lin, Chia-En
Description: Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) covers issues on developing systems with software agents. There are many techniques, mostly agent-oriented and object-oriented, ready to be chosen as building blocks to create agent-based systems. There have been several AOSE methodologies proposed intending to show engineers guidelines on how these elements are constituted in having agents achieve the overall system goals. Although these solutions are promising, most of them are designed in ad-hoc manner without truly obeying software developing life-cycle fully, as well as lacking of examinations on agent-oriented features. To address these issues, we investigated state-of-the-art techniques and AOSE methodologies. By examining them in different respects, we commented on the strength and weakness of them. Toward a formal study, a comparison framework has been set up regarding four aspects, including concepts and properties, notations and modeling techniques, process, and pragmatics. Under these criteria, we conducted the comparison in both overview and detailed level. The comparison helped us with empirical and analytical study, to inspect the issues on how an ideal agent-based system will be formed.

Computational Epidemiology - Analyzing Exposure Risk: A Deterministic, Agent-Based Approach
Date: August 2009
Creator: O'Neill II, Martin Joseph
Description: Many infectious diseases are spread through interactions between susceptible and infectious individuals. Keeping track of where each exposure to the disease took place, when it took place, and which individuals were involved in the exposure can give public health officials important information that they may use to formulate their interventions. Further, knowing which individuals in the population are at the highest risk of becoming infected with the disease may prove to be a useful tool for public health officials trying to curtail the spread of the disease. Epidemiological models are needed to allow epidemiologists to study the population dynamics of transmission of infectious agents and the potential impact of infectious disease control programs. While many agent-based computational epidemiological models exist in the literature, they focus on the spread of disease rather than exposure risk. These models are designed to simulate very large populations, representing individuals as agents, and using random experiments and probabilities in an attempt to more realistically guide the course of the modeled disease outbreak. The work presented in this thesis focuses on tracking exposure risk to chickenpox in an elementary school setting. This setting is chosen due to the high level of detailed information realistically available to ...

Content-Based Image Retrieval by Integration of Metadata Encoded Multimedia Features in Constructing a Video Summarizer Application.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Anusuri, Ramprasad
Description: Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is the retrieval of images from a collection by means of internal feature measures of the information content of the images. In CBIR systems, text media is usually used only to retrieve exemplar images for further searching by image feature content. This research work describes a new method for integrating multimedia text and image content features to increase the retrieval performance of the system. I am exploring the content-based features of an image extracted from a video to build a storyboard for search retrieval of images. Metadata encoded multimedia features include extracting primitive features like color, shape and text from an image. Histograms are built for all the features extracted and stored in a database. Images are searched based on comparing these histogram values of the extracted image with the stored values. These histogram values are used for extraction of keyframes from a collection of images parsed from a video file. Individual shots of images are extracted from a video clip and run through processes that extract the features and build the histogram values. A keyframe extraction algorithm is run to get the keyframes from the collection of images to build a storyboard of images. In ...

If it was not bad enough that the Dolphins got clipped by the Dallas Cowboys 30-13 in their preseason finale Wednesday night. The American Airlines plane chartered by the Miami Dolphins clipped a parked plane as it prepared to take off from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says no one was hurt but both American Airlines jets were damaged in the incident early Thursday. American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely says the winglet of a Boeing 767 clipped the tail of an empty MD-80. The incident happened in a non-operational area where the airline provides charter service. Both jets were taken out of service and the incident is under investigation. She says a replacement American Airlines jet delivered the Dolphins to Miami around 7:30 a.m. EDT Thursday.

Hey, I'm John, I work for a small real estate company in Manhattan and I've lived in New York for six years. I have a stable career, love the city I call home, have a great group of friends and now I'd like to find someone I can share these things with. In my free time I'm into live music, movies, and finding great bars and restaurants around town. I'd like to travel more and maybe take advantage to more of the fine(r) arts that NYC has to offer (museums, plays, etc). I'm looking for someone to share long walks, long conversations, long meals, and (at first) short match.com emails. Basically someone who would enjoy the types things I already like to do but also make things that are out of my current comfort zone a good time. Someone who can appreciate my dry sense of humor and be a fun wedding date (suddenly a lot of those are popping up). Someone who I look forward to seeing again and again.

When Marco Rubio announced his participation in the 2016 presidential race, he made himself ineligible to once again pursue his position as Florida Representative in the United States Senate, as there's a law prohibiting candidates from appearing on a ballot twice. A Detroit native living in Havana hopes to take his spot.
Lateresa Jones recently filed her intent to be the Democratic nominee for Rubio's seat. Jones has lived in South Florida for years, and moved to Havana after her husband enrolled in classes at FAMU.
In the six elections held across Gadsden County on Tuesday, only two led to incumbents losing their positions. Both of those incumbent losses came in Midway.
Wanda "Jackson" Range beat incumbent Delores Madison by 10 percentage points for Midway's District 3 council seat, while Zach Woods beat Allean Robinson in a landslide victory for the District 7 seat. Charlie Smith of District 1 was re-elected to his seat.
A Quincy mother of two was murdered April 21. It was her birthday.
Gregory Sapp Jr., 24, has been charged with one count of homicide for the death of Keyonda Collier and two counts of kidnapping for allegedly gagging and tying the hands and feet of Collier's children. Officers found Collier's children in that condition. They found Collier lying unresponsive in the bathtub with her hands and feet bound; she had been stabbed three times in the neck and twice in the shoulder.
Friday night's Relay for Life event at the MLK track was as lively as a block party but as inspirational as a church service.
FAMU's recently installed president took a step toward introducing herself to the Gadsden County community by speaking this past Sunday afternoon at a local church's annual celebration of female public servants.
A Quincy man was arrested April 11 on charges of selling cocaine, molly and an unknown drug while quartered at the Quincy Inn motel.
In addition, he is accused of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
New security measures were revealed Monday at the county courthouse in Quincy. They include the closure of all entrances except one, the implementation of security cameras outside all entrances and the addition of two bailiffs to monitor the newly installed metal detector.
In addition, county officials plan to add an X-ray system in October for scanning bags.
Everyone entering the courthouse will be required to go through the metal detector and, until the X-ray system is implemented, consent to a search of his or her bags.
Conversation spurred by audience comments made up the majority of the April 14 Quincy commission meeting.
A fire completely destroyed an apartment at Havana Heights on Monday night, leaving a family displaced and their immediate neighbors temporarily unable to return to their own apartments.
Though an incident report drafted by the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office says the cause of the fire is undetermined, some of the apartment's tenants and witnesses who saw the fire begin believe the cause was an in-wall air conditioning unit with frayed electrical circuits.
After making a tearful plea to the judge for no jail time, former captain of the GCSO Jim Corder was sentenced to 30 months in prison and one year of subsequent probation for crimes committed in relation to stealing $1,785 from an
In addition, Corder will have to repay the victim in full for the stolen money.
Corder will have to surrender himself to prison officials June 1. Instead of requiring Corder to immediately report to prison, the judge granted him an extension request so Corder could watch his daughter graduate from high school.

Lucas Adrianus Wilhelmus de Groot
really wanted was to become a painter. But his work had always been very graphical. It started when he was still at school in Noordwijkerhout. Annoyed by the bad typography of the school magazine, he immediately posted his suggestions for improvement under the editor's door. By the next day he was on the editorial team.
From 1982 to 1987, de Groot studied under
Gerrit Noordzij
at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, a hotbed for new type. He specialised in typography, photography and illustration. His final piece of work was produced entirely in typefaces which he had designed himself, among them an early version of what later became his successful Thesis typeface, at that time still called "Paranthesis".
The architecture of the Thesis tribe: 3 forms x 8 weights x 6 styles = 144 fonts
Between 1989 and 1993, de Groot, who goes by the name of Luc, worked for the respected design agency BRS Premsela Vonk on large corporate design projects. It was here that he laid the foundations for TheMix, Thesis' semi-serif version, which became the corporate font of the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Water Management.
When he came to Germany in 1993 and joined MetaDesign in Berlin, he finally had time to finish his "typographical tribe" with its three families,
TheSans, TheSerif
: "I couldn't speak the language yet and I hardly knew anybody … so I took the time to complete
An enormous range of characters, with ligatures and variations, makes Thesis a typographical treat
By about 1994, Thesis had become a bestselling member of the FontFont Library. Despite the popularity of Adobe's multiple-master fonts, which made it possible for ordinary users to generate custom fonts very easily, many type enthusiasts favoured the
FF Thesis
with its 144 fonts. One reason for this was undoubtedly the eight carefully harmonised font weights, which Lucas de Groot had developed with typographic sensitivity on the basis of his own interpolation theory. In addition to this, Thesis' range of characters was unrivaled at that time.
Countless symbols – from an arrow to an Aldus leaf – in a variety of forms and weights

Quality always wins...
I'm a work hard play hard kind of person who is passionate about traveling. I love experiencing new things and want someone who is open-minded to venture out and about. I'm all about taking advantage of life, local and afar. Some may call me a risk taker... I quit my position after 5 years I was unhappy with and spent 3 months backpacking through Central America and Mexico. Since then I have done multiple trips to Columbia, and trying to get further into South America one country at a time. Argentina is next up. I try to include travel into my current job, I just got back from Paris and will head to Japan and Shanghai. When I am not traveling I balance my career, family/friends and current love of NYC.I studied Clinical Psych at University of Toledo and Industrial/Organizational Psychology @ Roosevelt University (Chicago). Core group of friends are spread through NYC, Chicago, Denver, and LA. NYC is an amazing place, everything from the lights to the food, the culture to the non-stop feeling you get after rising from the subway station but I also need a break from time to time. When that time comes I go back home to Arizona, a small cowboy town with nothing to do. A perfect spot to unwind. Summer months I enjoy being outside, riding my bike, playing tennis, hiking upstate, and by upstate I mean anywhere metro north will take me. Love a good Happy Hour...Mole on Hudson has one of my favorite tequila happy hours. My future... I see it with someone special and hopefully adventurous.

Movies about literary lions and lionesses—The Life of emile Zola (1937) and Out of Africa (1985)—took home the gold statue.
This kind of combat reached its apotheosis when the guest was an insurance swindler called emile Savundra.
I know Cleve, somewhat, so the first time I saw emile in the movie, I zoned in on him immediately.
A work on education by Jean Jacques Rousseau, describing how a fictional boy, Émile, should be brought up. The book had an enormous influence on education during the age of romanticism and afterward.

My aunt sent me this and I thought it was lovely....
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
All those people on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word ' refrigeration ' mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched ' Jeopardy ' on television?
Because we cram so much into our lives, we tend to even schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!
We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get our child toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of ' I'm going to, ' ' I plan on, ' and ' Someday, when things are settled down a bit. '
When anyone calls my ' seize the moment ' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you ' re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask ' How are you? ' Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, ' We'll do it tomorrow. ' And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say ' Hi ' ?
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.
Enjoy your day!

Customer Reviews of Samsonite Quamtum Laptop Briefcase -Gray
close to perfect.4/24/2012
i bought this laptop bag for my 14in hp laptop for when i have to travel. after the fist use of this bag when i got home i immediately donated all my old laptop bags to goodwill because this is the only bag that i needed. the pockets do get a little irritating some times but this case is so solid that it makes for the few small flaws that it has.
I really wanted to like this rolling bag, but poor construction / durability force me to recommend buyers to move on. I use a rolling bag to transport a laptop computer and several pounds of files/papers to work / home and while traveling. My daily commute includes a train ride and about a 10 minute walk across several downtown...
Nice, but problem not resolved.3/6/2012
Nice if not damaged but the original, and then the replacement, were both defective. I suggest these were mfr "seconds" marketed as first quality. Customer svce was pleasant, but that did not result in my satisfaction.

He invited written objections to the grant of the licence in a gazette notice on Friday, which should be lodged with his office by August 18.
"By virtue of section 7(1)(d) of the Mining Act, the said area of land is therefore excluded from prospecting and/or mining except as regards any prospecting and mining rights granted... before the date of this notice which are subsisting or any right of renewal thereof," he said.
A number of prospectors have been exploring for copper and other metals countrywide. The Kenya Revenue Authority early this month pounced on illegal copper being sneaked out of the country by BootCut Mining Company Ltd to a Chinese company.
It was suspected that the copper was sourced from mines in Nyatike in Migori county.

YIELD: Makes 4 cups
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the crusts from the bread and slice into 1/2-inch strips and then the strips into 1/2-inch cubes, to make 4 cups. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and set in the oven for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until lightly toasted on all sides. Spread the cubes on a tray to cool before using or freezing.

Can the tzones key on the Dash be remapped to another CAPS key? Seeing that the Short_IE.lnk can be altered to execute other functions like 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe, I'd like to map the keyboard to have dual shift keys like my Treo650 was. Does anyone know if that is possible?
