By Wayne S. Walker 29 Sep 2012
Egypt is one of the oldest literary cultures on earth, dating from 3200 B.C. when Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt. The tales in this book are divided into three sections. "Tales of the Gods" tell myths about ancient Egyptian deities such as Amen-Ra, Isis, Osiris, Thoth, Horus, Khnemu, and others. "Tales of Magic" relate legends about semi-historical figures in ancient Egypt like Seneferu, Khufu, Rameses the Great, and Bata. And "Tales of Adventure" contain other stories that the ancient Egyptians recorded. These tales are taken from the hieroglyphics carved on temples and tombs and the later papyri written after Demotic script superseded the old hieroglyphs. There are a few references to drinking wine and beer, but there is also a mention of Joseph and the Israelites in the prologue implying that the author considered them genuine historical entities. A time chart of Egyptian history places the different tales into their historical context, and there are several pages of facts about ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs. The book would make an excellent complement to a homeschool study of ancient Egypt.
Roger Gilbert Lancelyn Green (1918-1987), born in Norwich, England, was a British biographer, children's writer, and Oxford academic who formed part of the Inklings literary discussion group along with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He had studied under Lewis at Merton College, Oxford, and remained close to Lewis until the latter's death in 1963. In fact, when Lewis started writing his famous children's fantasy books in the late 1940s, it was Green who encouraged him to publish it and suggested that they should be called The Chronicles of Narnia. Green became known primarily for his writings for children, particularly his retellings of the myths of Greece in Tales of the Greek Heroes (1958), The Tale of Troy (1958), and Tales the Muses Told: Ancient Greek Myths (1965); and The Tale of Thebes (1977); Norse mythology in The Saga of Asgard, later renamed Myths of the Norsemen (1960); the Arthurian legends in King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table (1953); the stories of Robin Hood in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1956); and even Tales from Shakespeare (1965). His works of original fiction include The Luck of Troy (1961), set during the Trojan War, and The Land of the Lord High Tiger (1958), a fantasy that has been compared to the Narnia books.
There are some in the homeschool movement who have strong objections to reading and studying mythology, claiming that it gives credence to heathen idolatry. While I respect their sincere convictions, I do not necessarily agree with their conclusions. The fact that many ancient cultures worshipped false gods and the stories that they told about those false gods are part of the history of our world, and there are many aspects of our Western culture which are drawn from them. I am convinced that we can read and study about the pagan idol gods from a purely historical standpoint without honoring them in any way or being in danger of believing in them, and can even see from learning about them how much superior the one true God who is revealed to us in the Bible truly is. I did not find Green's Tales of Ancient Egypt to be awesome or inspiring, but I thought that they were interesting reading, and they do remind me how thankful I am that our universe is ruled over by a holy, just, reasonable, and orderly Lord rather than the hodge-podge of mystical, magical, mythical deities of ancient Egypt.

I have been photographing grave stones since the 1980's in the southern N.J./PA area. I first started (like many) with my own family tree, and then I started photographing grave markers of Civil War and Revolutionary War Veterans' gravesites (among others) in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I moved to southeast GA in 1996 and continued with my project. I have MANY more photos from years ago (about 2000) than the ones I have posted on FIND-A-GRAVE. Any changes or corrections to my photos or information please feel free to contact me. Also, anyone wanting to use my photos for ANY reason, please ask first, I usually OK a request as long as I am given credit for the photo. Thanks.

Some of the surnames I am researching include: Lau, Wynn, Scull, Navone, Henderson, Corson, Biggs, Camp, Cheesman, Wolbert (Woolbert), Cresse, Elmer, & Lummis. Most of these family names are from the southern N.J./Philadelphia, PA area.
P.S. I've also been (since the early 1970's) a HUGE Philadelphia PHILLIES and FLYERS fan!! Greg (THE BULL) Luzinski was my favorite Phillie!

Extracting oil from Canadian sand pits
Sean Cole
Aug 4, 2010 Canada has some of the most oil in the world, and about half of it comes from the "oil sands." Oil companies use some of the most expensive, energy intensive technology to extract the oil from the sand -- which leaves an impact on the environment too.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Winter weather has disrupted class schedules in the Piedmont again. While kids aren't complaining about the changes, it is becoming a headache for parents.
"It gets to be an inconvenience, especially when you drop your kids off at 8:30 in the morning, then have to pick them up at 12," said Stewart Harper.
Harper isn't the only Guilford County parent who has had to rearrange their schedule due to school closures.
"The children, they've just been out an excessive number of days this year," said Jackie McCoy. "We had a vacation set up at the end of summer, but now they've tacked on two or three school days, so now we're having to change our plans for our summer vacation."
What makes the situation even more frustrating is winter isn't over, so all school officials can do is plan for the worst to keep everyone safe.
"We don't want a situation like Atlanta where it could be much worse, so I would prepare to be on the safe side," said Leigh Morrison.


text: Those of you who follow @PEMLibrary on Twitter know that I have been highlighting poetry from our collections in honor of National Poetry Month. While writing those tweets I reminisced about the many times I read poetry to my infant daughter; the rhythm of the poems relaxed us during those long nights of teething and to this day, poetry is included in our reading choices. So, it was enjoyable for me to peruse the collection and find items of interest. The more I looked for examples for the tweets, the more I realized a blog would also be appropriate to further represent our poetry collection. Read more

Teachers and staff at Scott Academy are taking their students around the world this summer. With passports in hand, pre-kindergartners to fifth-graders sample food, play games and read stories from Burma, Mexico, China and Africa, all at the Shawnee library branch. The seven-week program, Passport to Reading, ensures students continue learning, even in the summer.
"We were concerned about the loss of reading skills. We found that our students lose 10 to 18 percent of what they learned throughout the year during the summer months," said Principal Crystal Thomas.
The program's coordinator, Sara Zuber, teamed up with Heather Grady, the children's librarian at Shawnee, to offer the program. Grady helped Scott Academy with its previous summer reading program, Reading Rocks, held at the school. This year, the program was moved to the library to encourage families to spend more time there.
"Families get used to coming to the library and become more aware of the services and resources available," said Thomas.
The number of students and families varies greatly from week to week because of summer camp and vacations, but Zuber said more parents have expressed an interest in involving their students because Fort Wayne Community Schools is not offering summer school this year as a result of budget cuts.
Candy Bower brings her three children to the library every Tuesday for the program and plans to continue until the end. She said it gives her children something to do over the summer.
"They learn and have the opportunity to do things they've never done before and try foods they've never eaten."
Each week the program attracts between 65 and 75 students in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. This week was the third week for the program. This week's featured countries are Burma and Thailand. The program's theme was chosen because Scott Academy offers the English Language Learners program, a FWCS program to help students with limited English skills
"We wanted to expose students to the different cultures of ELL students," said Zuber. Some of the other countries were chosen by the students.
The work and resources put into the program come entirely from Scott Academy's teachers and staff.
"What I'm most proud of is that the staff has volunteered to help make all this possible," said Thomas.

I have recently joined a new social beauty community called Bellashoot. A Social beauty portal where all those interested in beauty can connect, share , learn and teach each others beauty tips and get to know the latest developments in the world of beauty and makeup.
One of Bellashoot members asked me to write a post about homemade hair mask recipes, and here I am ! bellakayla I hope you like it!
One of the most factors for having healthy hair is having a healthy hair routine. Bad hair routine may cause problems to your hair. So let us start by talking about healthy hair routine.
Healthy hair routine.
1. How often should you wash your hair?
This depends mainly on your hair type and the surrounding environment. If you have normal to dry hair, you may wash your hair once or twice a week. If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it more frequently. In spring here in the Middle East, when it is windy, the air becomes full of dust and pollution particles, which will accumulate on hair, and makes it more necessary to wash hair more often.
2. What type of shampoo should I use?
I found some useful advice for you at Go Ask Alice regarding the type of shampoo you should use:
- Change you shampoo brand every few months.
- Eat healthy food, especially raw fruits and vegetables. Your hair is a part of your body; you need to supply it with all the nutrition it needs to keep it healthy and shiny.
- You can add highlight to your light hair by using chamomile shampoo, while henna shampoo add reddish undertones to dark hair.
- Avoid hot showers since hot water will make your hair dry.
3. The best technique for brushing your hair:
Start by brushing the ends to remove tangles and then take the long stokes from the roots of the hair to the ends. This will help spreading natural hair oil and thus prevent breakage.
Following those tips will definitely improve your hair quality and give you the shiny healthy looking hair you are looking for. Bu I like to add some natural homemade hair mask recipes, which will add more value to your hair regime.
Homemade hair mask recipes
Indian henna for coloring your hair.
I have been regularly using red henna for almost 12 years now! I use it for coloring my hair, but there are several other benefits for using it. Henna has a cooling effect, which is why it had been used long time ago for curing fever. It is the safest coloring factor for since it is chemicals-free. It leaves your hair healthy, and shiny.
To apply henna, watch this video for details:
Hair mask recipe for smooth hair.
Colombian women useAvocado to smooth their hair by combining two eggs whites (which is known for being protein-rich) with half of a mashed-up avocado, leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse. Egg is a well-known natural factor for smoothing damaged hair to restoring strength and shine to your hair. While avocado is the ultimate nourisher since it has a high concentration of vitamin E.
A South African hair mask recipe for soft hair.
Honey is well know humectant factor that grabs onto and holds water. You can use it for dry dull hair to restore its shiny looking. Mix one egg yolk with a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of olive oil . Leave the mixture on for 30 minutes then wash it thoroughly.
Mediterranean hair mask recipe for conditioning your hair.
All you need is a small cup of olive oil, virgin olive oil is preferred, rub it in the ends and the mid length of your hair, leave it on for two hours then shampoo as usual. You may add honey as well for better results. Note that if your scalp is oily by nature it is not necessary to apply olive oil to it, where as dry scalp may benefit from applying a light oil to your fingers and massaging the scalp.
Hair mask recipe for strong hair
Almond oil is usually used in hair products for treating dry and damaged hair, use warm almond oil, spread it on your hair, leaves it on for 30 minutes then shampoo your hair as normal.
Hair mask recipe for sun-damaged hair
Exposing to sun for a long time may affect your hair just like it affects your skin. Exposing your hair for the sun-rays for a long time will affect the keratin protein bonds available in your hair strands. The following hair mask helps replenish the keratin protein bonds, here is it:
Mix (½ cup honey, 1-2 tbsp olive oil and 1-2 tbsp of egg yolk) apply to your hair and leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Neuromuscular therapist Ilana Spodak relieves clients of chronic pain with a combination of massage, orthopedic therapy, and exercise. Her client list includes those who have suffered injuries, professional athletes, and full-contact Twister players, and she's worked alongside lauded surgeons and neurologists while honing her healing skills. But the person who most strongly influenced Ilana's career is her own mother, who was debilitated by an auto accident.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Finale Spoilers: Will Storybrooke Be Erased — Or Will Regina Save the Day?
Once Upon a Time is headed into its epic two-part Season 2 finale this Sunday (Episode 21: "Second Star to the Right," May 5), but when it ends, what will be left? According to a new spoiler, Storybrooke may not be left standing after the final showdown.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
While we already know a bit about Regina's fail-safe black diamond, since she's kidnapped and Greg Mendell and Tamara have it in their possession now, things could escalate more quickly than we imagined. Since she's without magic and not in control, if they find out what it does, the magical town could go poof in a cloud of purple smoke.
"The device is an erase button that returns Storybrooke to what it once was so everyone involved in it would die," co-creator Eddy Kitsis teased to TV Fanatic, though the site hints that it may have been a good thing for Regina to have. If she does manage to escape, she could opt not to use the trigger if she makes the right decision.
However, even if she does hypothetically save Storybrooke, don't rule out any deaths. In fact, it could happen sooner than we think. When asked if there would be death in the finale, Eddy said, "Perhaps," adding, "Perhaps this [episode]."
Well, now we'll be on the edge of our seats until Sunday's episode — especially since there's someone new coming.
"We're only going to meet one other person this year who will definitely be in Season 3," Eddy teased. One more person to obsess over? We'll take it.
Do you think Regina will save Storybrooke? Sound off below.

Catch the episode on Sunday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Matthew's gospel records that when his disciples asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?," Jesus put a child in their midst and said, "Whoever becomes humble like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (18:1-4) When America was attacked on 9/11, President Bush said the United States is "the greatest nation on the face of the earth." (The New York Times, Sept. 17, 2002), and then put a child in our midst to justify a needless pre-emptive war against sanctions-weakened, defenseless Iraq: "We owe it to our children, we owe it to our grandchildren to make sure that the dictator of Iraq never threatens our country, or our children, or our children's children with the world's worst weapons." (The Boston Globe, Sept 24, 2002)
What we owe our children and grandchildren is to stop the spreading, now surging, malady of militarism with which the Bush administration has infected America and the world. Whereas Jesus affirmed the natural innocence of children, President Bush uses their innocence to justify waging a criminal war against the people of Iraq and their children and grandchildren. Bush's continuing, seemingly sociopathic, exploitation of family, democratic and religious values, to mask and justify war and domination, needs to be seen for what it is and ended now by Congress. Only then will our children and grandchildren avoid the legacy of hatred of America and constant fear and threat of violence, being created for them by the Bush administration's warped "good versus evil" worldview and unending militaristic war of terrorism. The so-called "war on terrorism" is a terrible hoax perpetrated on Americans by the Bush administration, using the horrific attack of 9/11 to instill manipulative fear, cloak military aggression and domination that serve corporate interests, and maintain Republican political power.
President Bush continually drafts our children and grandchildren to serve militaristic policies that threaten, not protect, their future. He exploits our children's innocence to justify his latest "surge" of sending 21,000 more American troops to Iraq: "But victory in Iraq . . . a democratic Iraq . . . will help bring a future of peace and security for our children and grandchildren." He even drafted countless other children in his new escalation of militaristic violence: "From Afghanistan to Lebanon to the Palestinian Territories, millions of ordinary people are sick of the violence, and want a future of peace and opportunity for their children. And," he said, "they are looking at Iraq. They want to know: Will America withdraw and yield the future of that country to the extremists-or will we stand with the Iraqis who have made the choice for freedom?" ("Transcript of President Bush's address to the nation last night" as recorded by The New York Times, Jan. 11, 2002)
President Bush's repeated cloaking of his administration's militarism in the innocence of children is seen in his recent year-end news conference: "This war on terrorism is the calling of a new generation. Success," he continued, "is essential to securing a future for peace for our children and grandchildren. And," he added, "securing this peaceful future is going to require a sustained commitment from the American people and our military." ("Press Conference by the President," Office of the Press Secretary, The White House, Dec. 20, 2006)
Here again, President Bush even recruited the children of the Middle East in his war of terrorism. "The one thing we cannot do," he said, "is to give up on the hundreds of millions of ordinary moms and dads across the Middle East who want the hope and opportunity for their children that the terrorists and extremists seek to deny them. And that's a peaceful existence." (Ibid)
"A peaceful existence?" It is not believed to be about "success" in Iraq being "essential to securing a future for peace for our children and grandchildren"-and for the children of "the ordinary moms and dads across the Middle East." It is about President Bush's overriding need for "victory" in Iraq to hide his administration's war crimes and thus secure his future-from the gallows of public opinion, the judgment of impeachment, or the docket, in absentia, of the US-opposed International Criminal Court charged with war crimes. It is not just about protecting his "ego" but about protecting his own future "peaceful existence." He desperately needs a "surge" of American troops in Iraq to stave off the reality of truth and justice that the future holds for him-and for certain other members of his militaristic administration.
"A peaceful existence?" "For our children and grandchildren?" For "the ordinary moms and dads across the Middle East . . . ?" Using the innocence of children to justify crimes against humanity. A preemptive, criminal war based on a lie: ". . . the dictator of Iraq threaten[ing] our children [and] children's children with the world's worst weapons."
The ensuing deaths of some 655,000 "ordinary moms and dads" and their children across Iraq. ("Study Claims Iraq's 'Excess' Death Toll Has Reached 655,000," by David Brown, The Washington Post, Oct. 11, 2006) "Operation Iraqi Freedom's" destruction of Iraq's life-sustaining infrastructure, and the continuing failure of Bush administration-favored war-profiteering corporations, like Vice President Cheney's Halliburton, to reconstruct what America's militarism devastated. Horribly violent sectarian civil war, set in motion by the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq, making the country less stable and safe than under the brutal rule of Saddam Hussein.
"A peaceful existence?" The reality includes the flight rather than "freedom" of millions of "ordinary" "moms and dads" in Iraq and their children. Last October a report by The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was quoted as stating that "out of the population of 26 million, 1.6 million Iraqis have fled the country and a further 1.5 million are displaced within Iraq." ("The Exodus: 1.6m Iraqis have fled their country since the war," by Patrick Cockburn, The Independent, 23 Oct. 2006)
"A peaceful existence? For whom? Over 3,000 children and grandchildren of American "ordinary moms and dads" dead, and tens of thousands more physically and emotionally maimed-and these totals will "surge" if Congress does not stop the insanity of this militarizer-in chief. The criminal investment of our country's human and material resources in killing and occupying and dominating instead of in creating and sustaining and renewing life here and abroad.
"A peaceful existence?" That is not the reality of the "ordinary moms and dads across the Middle East" and their children, who are oppressed by US-supported Arab tyrannies in Saudi Arabia and Egypt and Libya and Morocco and the Gulf States. ("Six Questions for Michael Scheuer On National Security," by Ken Silverstein, Harper's Magazine, Aug. 23, 2006) Nor is "a peaceful existence" the reality of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, living under the US-enabled apartheid-like rule of Israel. And a similar reality of oppression is endured by the people of US-supported, authoritarian-ruled Pakistan.
In the face of these brutal realities, our country is led by a president evidently blinded by the arrogance of power in continuing to insist, "And I want the enemy to understand that . . . they can't run us out of the Middle East." ("Press Conference by the President," Dec. 20, 2006) It is the "ordinary moms and dads across the Middle East" who want to "run us out of the Middle East." Bush's arrogance is also seen in his call for a "surge," which will involve US forces "continu[ing] to pursue Al Qaeda and foreign fighters [italics added]." ("Transcript of President Bush's address," The New York Times, Jan. 11, 2007) The only real "foreign fighters" in Iraq are Americans and their coalition partners.
"Foreign fighters?" A poll conducted by the University of Maryland last October was reported as indicating that "78 percent of Iraqis said the US military is 'provoking more conflict than it is preventing,'" that "71 percent, including 74 percent of Shiites and 91 percent of Sunnis, want US soldiers out within a year or less," and that "61 percent of Iraqis favor attacks on American troops." ("Time to Leave," Editorial, The Nation, Dec. 18, 2006) "Merciless and violent . . . terrorists and extremists," as President constantly tries to have us Americans believe? Or "ordinary moms and dads" across Iraq, whose love of their children and their country leads them to resist a "merciless and violent" "shock and awe" invasion and occupation of their homeland, paraded as the "advance of liberty?"
President Bush accuses neighboring Iran and Syria of aiding and abetting the "terrorist and insurgents" in Iraq, and threatens to "seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq." ("Transcript of President Bush's address," The New York Times, Jan. 11, 2007) His desperate need to "succeed," to secure his own future "peaceful existence," could lead him to divert public attention from his war crimes against Iraq by provoking a much larger war against Iran and Syria-ostensibly to also "help bring a future of peace and security for our children and grandchildren."
Our country is suffering from the militarism of a president in deep denial: "Our goal remains a free and democratic Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself, and is an ally in this war on terrorism." ("Press Conference by the President," Dec. 20, 2006) A president whose compulsion to "succeed" in Iraq, and thus hide and justify his war crimes, is seen in his saying the obvious: "I believe that we're going to win. . . . If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have sent our troops there. That's what you've got to know. We're going to succeed." (Ibid)
President Bush wants everyone to also know, "Most people have asked me to do one thing, and that is to make sure that their child didn't die in vain. And I agree with that; that their sacrifice has been worth it." (Ibid) Tragically, Bush justifies the death of one "child" by the death of another, in his apparently obsessive pursuit of "victory" to secure "a peaceful existence" for his own future. Here is believed to be a deeper motivation for the President's present "surge" of American troops in Iraq.
Millions of children and grandchildren in America and the Middle East are being left behind to struggle and die, by an administration that hides behind their innocence to serve the imperialistic interests of corporate America. Tragically, much of our country's human and material resources are being sacrificed to illegally seize and control the oil and lands of other countries' children and grandchildren.
Think what our human and material national wealth could do if invested in all our children and grandchildren. A truly adequate minimum wage, for example, would help to guarantee that no American child would be left behind-as would other such present-protecting and future-preparing social programs. "Ordinary moms and dads" across America know that a full stomach feeds a hungry mind. And a hungry mind is far more likely to search for truth and justice and thus help to guarantee a full stomach and life for all children. For a full stomach also nourishes a caring heart.
President Bush ended his call for a "surge" in US troops for Iraq by saying, "We go forward with trust that the Author of Liberty will guide us through these trying times." ("Transcript of President Bush's address," The New York Times, Jan. 11, 2007) It is not about "the Author of Liberty guid[ing] us," but about the authorizing of a "surge" of death cloaked in the divine.
President Bush would poison America with a chronic malady of militarism. He ended his State of the Union Address with, "The war on terror we fight today is a generational struggle that will continue long after you and I have turned our duties over to others." He then proposed "to establish a special [bipartisan] advisory council on the war on terror . . . [to] show our enemies abroad that we're united in the goal of victory." (Tape of Address, Jan. 23, 2007) The "victory" Bush and Vice President Cheney and their neo-conservative collaborators so desperately pursue to cover up their war crimes.
It is time for Congress to stop funding and end the malady of militarism with which the Bush administration is corrupting our country. It is time to become humble like a child-for the sake of children and grandchildren everywhere.

It's the day of the premiere and confusion reigns inside the London hotel. TV cables are snaking down the corridors, photographers stand in huddles and the doors keep opening and shutting like a Feydeau farce. The press minders, meantime, have turned harried and irritable. "What time are we leaving, Jane?" barks one to the other. "It's Kate," Kate snaps back.
In all the hubbub it takes me a moment to register Carey Mulligan, hiding out on a window-seat with her back to the light. Her blond bob is scrunched, her make-up applied. At first glance, she might be a 14-year-old trying to pass for 18 at the local nightclub. Then she gets to her feet and is instantly transformed, looming 5ft 10in in her tottering heels. Her voice is in her boots; rich and deep, at least three octaves lower than it ought to be. Everything about her is quietly confounding.
In the course of a hectic six-year career, Mulligan has conspired to look both young and old, plain and beautiful. She was flyweight and mousy as Kitty Bennet in Pride & Prejudice, grave and soulful as Ada Clare in the BBC production of Bleak House; impishly vulnerable in her Oscar-nominated breakthrough in An Education, a broken bird when she played The Seagull on Broadway. I can't tell whether she's a wizened, watchful Miss Marple in the guise of a limpid ingénue, or the other way around. "I have a very forgettable face," she explains ruefully. "I don't look specific."
Her latest film, Never Let Me Go, makes great play of this mutability. Cast as Kathy, Mulligan is, variously, romantic heroine, sacrificial victim and quiet, stoic witness. Mark Romanek's drama – based on the marvellously blank, affectless novel by Kazuo Ishiguro – is a sci-fi tale of sorts. Kathy, Ruth (Keira Knightley) and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) are pupils at a cloistered English boarding school that doubles as a farm for human organs. Their only hope is an audience with the mysterious Madame, who is rumoured to offer deferrals that allow these clones to live for a time as normal people. "It's a metaphor for our lives," Mulligan says. "It could end tomorrow, or 70 years from now. But we know it's going to end."
She last worked with Knightley on 2005's Pride & Prejudice, when Knightley was a star and she was not. Since then, she has played stealthy catch-up. In fact, Ishiguro tells me, there was early indecision over the casting; some debate over which woman would play vivid Ruth and which one retiring Kathy. "But I think they're better suited this way around," he says. "It has something to do with the respective beauty and sexuality they have. Carey's charm is a more passive one. She's not as conventionally attractive as Keira, but she's a terrifically subtle actress. There's always this dual-layer effect with Carey, what she gives you is never black and white. It's her voice that's the key. She can look so vulnerable that you expect her to sound quite girly. But the voice is surprisingly low and mature. It gives her this strange authority."
As a child, Mulligan lived in transit. Her dad was an executive for InterContinental and shuttled the family from one hotel to the next. I tell her this sounds impossibly glamorous. "Oh God, it's totally not," she says. "I probably painted it as that when I was about 12, wanting to be cool, but it really isn't. My dad was a hotel manager, so I was born at the Grosvenor House and then lived at the Mayfair. Then it was Hanover and Düsseldorf. Most hotels have a set of rooms on the top floor for the manager's family. It kind of sucked because you couldn't have a garden and you couldn't have pets. Lose a guinea pig behind the radiator and you've got a big problem."
That said, it prepared her well. "I like being a gypsy and I'm obviously comfortable in hotels. I mean, I don't bring flowers or hang art, but it feels like home. It means you don't have to think about real life. You just focus on the work. The only life you live is the life of the film."
She is now 25 and wanted to be an actor from the age of six. In her teens, she wrote a letter to Kenneth Branagh, begging him to be her mentor. Branagh respectfully declined, as did the drama schools she applied to in secret. "I got turned down by Rada, and Central, and Drama Centre London. But fair enough – I wasn't very good. I went in and performed a monologue from 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane, who subsequently killed herself. I was 17 years old, this incredibly well-adjusted, happy person. Nothing bad had happened to me. And I was trying to conjure all this pain and drama. So they were like, 'Who's this pretentious public-school kid trying to trick us?' I got a recall at Central, but that's as close as it came."
So she wrote another letter. This one went to Julian Fellowes, who had recently visited her school to give a talk. Incredibly, Fellowes went on to arrange an audition for Pride & Prejudice. Still more incredibly, she got the gig, which meant jacking in her part-time job pulling pints at the Three Pigeons. "I was just this random, giggly fool," she recalls. "I was 19 and had about four lines and no idea what was going on. Then I got a play at the Royal Court, so I thought, 'Oh, at least I've got work until the end of the year.' Then I got Bleak House." She waves a hand, a shade embarrassed by her own good fortune.
Variety magazine has christened her "the new Audrey Hepburn", although she is more coiled and anxious than your average gamine. Ishiguro reckons she has more in common with Shirley MacLaine or Isabelle Huppert, while Fellowes suggests she's an amalgam of them all, a classic screen heroine whose "bird-like fragility [contains] a core of steel". Just lately she's cracked America. In recent months the tabloids have fixated on her hair, her contribution to a track on the last Belle and Sebastian album and her brief relationship with Shia LaBeouf, her co-star on Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel. But that's OK, she shrugs, because it's as if these reports play out on a parallel planet. Off screen, she is able to vanish into the woodwork. "We were in Telluride recently, sitting in a gondola, and the other passengers were talking about Never Let Me Go, having just that minute seen it. And I was just sitting there, unnoticed."
The way Mulligan puts it, all she ever wanted was to be a jobbing actor. What she was after was the thrill of the work; the roar of the greasepaint. So she wished and wrote letters, and then her dreams came true and caught her unawares. Even now, six years in, her lack of training still niggles. "Some people are at peace with their work," she reflects. "I always think, 'Oh fuck, they're going to find me out.' I mean, I still have days when I genuinely cannot act. There's a scene in every film which I look back on and think, 'That was the day I couldn't act.' It's there in Never Let Me Go – that scene where we're on the beach and Keira gives me Madame's address."
I remember it: she turns her head and looks away. "That's because I couldn't act!" Mulligan says triumphantly. "I'd love to say it was a creative choice, but it wasn't. So I'm going to look away and hide, so the audience won't see that I'm bad at acting, that I'm really shit."
Next up is a role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby. She'll play Daisy Buchanan, the siren of East Egg who lures the hero to his doom; a woman possessed of "a low, thrilling voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech were an arrangement of notes that will never be played again." Her voice, says Gatsby, "sounds like money". It's a role that might have been written with the actor in mind.
There is a telling scene near the start of Never Let Me Go in which a kindly teacher blows the whistle. "You will become adults, but only briefly," she tells her students. "You will start to donate your vital organs. That's what you are created to do." I wonder if this chimes with Mulligan's charmed, veal-calf existence. Does she occasionally fear there might be some dark and terrible price to pay?
"Yeah, maybe I'm going to find out that I have to give my blood in order to stay in this world," she says. "But no: there's no club. There's nothing going on that I don't know about. It's funny, because it's all illusion. It's basically about people getting up and driving to work and pretending to be someone else, and then driving back to sit in their hotel and watch To Catch A Predator."
To catch a what? "Oh, you have to watch it! It's on in America, it's a reality show. They snare paedophiles. They go online and pretend to be little boys and girls, and they get these paedophiles to come to this fake suburban house. And then this guy walks in called Chris Hansen and collars them. And then, when they try to walk out, these police officers jump on them! Aw, it's the best thing," she says, her eyes alight. "I mean, these poor guys, it's not like they're armed. I mean, they're horrible, but they're basically just sad, pathetic men."
The press minder arrives to wrap up the interview, but Mulligan will not be stopped; she's on a roll. "And they've got this guy who's dressed in army camouflage, with leaves on his outfit, who hides in the bushes, leaps out and throws them to the ground. The Leaf Man! Oh, it's so good. That's what I want to do. I want to play the fake child on To Catch A Predator. No, wait!" she says. "I want to play the Leaf Man!"
Basically, I think, she wants it all.

A Grovetown City Councilman accused of bribery in Alabama spoke out Thursday about the federal charges against him.
Leland J. "Sonny" McDowell, who pled not guilty to the charges on June 15, is accused of offering a kickback to a former Alabama Department of Public Safety employee in 2007.
"I am not guilty," McDowell said. "I intend to defend myself through this process with everything that I have. ... I have tremendous confidence in this country's justice system for the most part. I'm going to defend myself and I fully expect, at the end of this, to be cleared."
Columbia County's elections director has been released from the hospital where she was treated for a brain tumor and now is at home.
Deborah Marshall, 48, had been in Medical College of Georgia Hospital since April 6, when she was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant brain tumor.
Since surgery to remove the bulk of the tumor on April 9, Marshall had been recovering at the hospital and underwent radiation therapy.
Armed robber sought
Columbia County investigators are looking for a man who robbed an Evans gas station early Tuesday.
Just after midnight, a man wearing a hooded jacket with a scarf over his face walked into the TPS station on Washington Road at William Few Parkway and pointed a pistol at the clerk, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office report.
The man took cash and cigarettes, and then ran from the store. He last was seen headed south on William Few Parkway. Neither the clerk nor a customer in the store were harmed during the holdup.
Therapy Dogs Inc. marked their territory at the Harlem Library as part of its weekly summer program on Wednesday.
For the past six years, Therapy Dogs Inc. has visited the Harlem Library to teach children different ways to take care of their pets, said library Branch Manager Amanda Cash.
The group, led by Ann Sprinkle, from Warrenton, first came in contact with the Harlem Library through another library, Cash said.
Sprinkle said the group's goal is to make the dogs "bullet-proof," meaning they know how to behave in any situation.
Columbia County officials are proposing becoming the hub of a new library region.
At a Thursday meeting, county officials suggested splitting from the East Central Georgia Regional Library System and forming a new region with Warren and Lincoln counties.
Grovetown's newest public safety officer won't be driving a patrol car, but will be riding in the back seat instead.
Chico, a 3-year-old Belgian malinois, joined the force on June 11. The laid-back dog is partnered with Cpl. Joseph Greene.
"He's very sociable," Greene said of his new partner and roommate. "He loves attention."
Chico is a former military dog trained to sniff out bombs and drugs. While Chico wasn't vicious enough for duty at Fort Benning, his friendly disposition is exactly what Director Gary Owens was hoping for.
Columbia County's Republican voters likely represent the key to winning the party's nomination for the redrawn District 12 U.S. Congressional seat.
For that reason, the four candidates hoping to take on Democratic incumbent John Barrow in November eagerly anticipate their first head-to-head forum in front of Columbia County voters.
Columbia County's school board Tuesday approved purchases of food for next year.
The board awarded $2.24 million to U.S. Food Service for food, $12,764 to Leo's Produce for fresh fruit and vegetables.
In addition, trustees awarded a $344,225 contract to Southeastern Paper Group for paper products.
All of the bids are for the 2012-13 school year.
Superintendent Charles Nagle also Tuesday provided an update on two major building projects: construction of a new Evans Elementary School and the new Columbia Middle School.

PIERCETON — Eric Speicher, Pierceton Elementary School's principal, will be overseeing Syracuse Elementary School in the fall.
Effective June 30, Speicher's role with Whitko Community School Corporation will come to an end, a bittersweet change for Speicher.
"I never imagined I would fall in love with this place so quickly," Speicher said. "I love it here. In some ways it's killing me to leave."
Speicher just finished his second year at PES and took the opportunity to move to Syracuse due in part to the history he has there.
"I was a teacher there before," Speicher said. "It's my home area and where I am from. I guess it's kind of like coming back home."
Working at PES, Speicher propelled academic growth and achievement for the school. At Monday's school board meeting, Speicher offered his official farewell and thanked the board for "taking a chance on a new principal."

Fast food staff get skills with apprenticeship
Posted: August 22, 2011|
FAST food workers in Swansea have joined thousands of colleagues across the country in completing an apprenticeship with McDonald's.
A total of 18 employees in the city have completed their apprenticeships with the firm, which are nationally recognised and accredited through City and Guilds.
The apprenticeship is equivalent to five GCSEs and sits in the middle of the McDonald's learning ladder, ranging from work experience for school pupils aged 16 and up to a foundation degree in managing business operations for restaurant managers.
Emma Littleford, a newly qualified apprentice working at McDonald's outlet in Fabian Way, said the apprenticeship scheme ended up being more than just a useful training tool.

The 20-year-old said: "Not only has it allowed me to gain another qualification and brush up on my maths and English skills, it's also had a very positive impact on my progression at work.
"I believe that without the skills I learnt on the course, I wouldn't be in my current position as floor manager and working towards the next level of management.
"In today's competitive job market, it's so important to have an edge over everybody else and I think vocational qualifications like the apprenticeship scheme are the perfect way for people to boost their CVs. It doesn't matter whether you're a university graduate or left school with no qualifications, it really is accessible to everyone and the best part is you can continue earning whilst learning.
"I couldn't recommend it highly enough."
McDonald's franchisee Ron Mounsey said: "The education landscape in the UK is currently evolving in the midst of the changing economic climate, and as a result, vocational qualifications are more relevant than ever before since they provide people with the opportunity to continue gaining qualifications at the same time as working in a relevant employment sector.
"I'm proud to be able to offer local people this type of opportunity in the form of our apprenticeship programme and I believe it is important for more businesses to invest in such training opportunities.
"Giving people the chance to learn and earn means I can attract the very best people.
"The skills staff develop on the apprenticeship programme can help increase their enthusiasm, confidence and professional attitude which is good for them, good for business and good for our customers too.
"Ultimately, any business that invests in people now during tougher times will help our economy in the long term by helping strengthen the task force."

I don't follow every little motion in the WoW Arena community, but there is one team that jumped out at me immediately: Orz. They've won a few tournaments already, and in a way they're the 'face' of the Arena, if that makes any sense. As Zach Yonzon mentioned awhile back in one of his columns, every sport, no matter how big or small, has its stars. Even eSports. Here in the states, Orz is one of those star teams. Rhaegyn, Glick and Hafu are definitely the players to watch in this tournament. It looks like they've picked up a new sponsor since I last saw them in action, so I'd like to extend a belated congratulations to them on that.
Of course, this tournament also includes the Korean team Council of Mages, which won the tournament at WWI08. Pretty much every team on the bracket has done some great work in the Arena already, and the tourney should be really exciting no matter who walks away with the win and the grand prize of $25,000 per player.

PLATTSBURGH - The Earned Income Tax Credit is a credit many are unaware they qualify for, and, as a result, don't file for.
John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, was joined recently by members of the Clinton and Essex County Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition to raise awareness of the federal tax credit, which is available to assist low-income families and individuals.
"The Earned Income Tax Credit is a tremendous service and a great opportunity for people to get a tax return," said Bernardi, adding one in four taxpayers is unaware they are eligible for the credit, which could amount to as much as $5,666.
According to information from the Internal Revenue Service, a taxpayer with three or more qualifying children and an earned income of no more than $43,352 or $48,362 if married filing jointly, would be eligible. A taxpayer with two qualifying children must have an earned income of no more than $40,363 or $45,373 if married filing jointly. Those with one qualifying child may earn as much as $35,535 or $40,545 if married filing jointly.
Those without children are also eligible for the credit under certain restrictions. Taxpayers ages 25-65 are eligible if they have an earned income not greater than $13,460 for an individual or $18,470 for those married filing jointly.
"It's a great opportunity to put money in the pockets of people who need it most, which in turn, helps the economy grow," Bernardi said of the tax credit.
When it comes tax returns, one of the easiest ways to file, said Bernardi, is through free tax preparation sites hosted by the coalition in the two-county region. The sites are operated by trained volunteers, offering electronic filing for faster refunds, said Bernardi. Another benefit of visiting a coalition-approved site, he added, is the educational component available to those who file. Coalition members like Kathleen A. Eppler with Champlain National Bank and Jody Carpenter with UFirst Federal Credit Union, are able to provide information about budgeting, saving and investing the money people receive from their tax returns.

"Anyone can travel. That in itself does not make anyone a traveler."
It is with this sentiment that the Shorashim/JNF division of Taglit-Birthright Israel flew out of Newark in the late afternoon of January 17th. Our group consists of forty Americans between the ages of 22 and 26, most of whom have finished college and have taken time off from their jobs to embark on "the best ten days of [your] life." Hailing from every corner of the continental United States, we were met at Ben Gurion Airport after a ten-hour flight by seven Israelis who are, with humor and heart, inculcating us on all aspects of Israeli culture. These aspects are as diverse as the normalcy of armed guards (our group has one, Dima, who wears his rifle as casually as a backpack), attitudes towards Kashrut among "secular" Jews, and "Jerusalem traffic."
The first day had the potential to be a trying experience. Many of us had been traveling for well over ten hours simply taking flights to New Jersey, and adding to our exhaustion was the weather. Years of praying for Israel to have a successful rainy season apparently culminated in torrential downpours - not what first-time visitors to the Middle East would ever expect. Nonetheless, there is a feeling of bonhomie which is absolutely remarkable; the Americans, in abandoning their comfort zones, have been absorbed into an entirely new one. The concepts of having a birthright in Israel and of having come home have set the foundations for what will truly be a most superlative ten days.
-Adina Zidon
Been visiting this site from about two minutes after the plane landed and every two minutes since, looking for a blog from 21-277.
Glad to hear there is that remarkable feeling of bonhomie among the Americans.
One set of my grandparents did not survive Riga, but their memory is enshrined at Yad Vashem; the other set of granparents were Holocaust refugees in Palestine before emigrating to the US.
For those that never had an opportunity to visit Israel and want to live it vicariously through their children, keep the blogs coming and some pictures would be great too!
As to the weather, in the misery loves company category, since the group left Newark, sunny Southern California has had as much rain in five days as we normally get in a year.
Hope the skies clear and the rest if the days are sunny and bright.

when new books by Aleksandr Voinov are released.
Bio: Aleksandr Voinov is an emigrant German author living near London where he makes his living as a financial journalist, freelance editor and creative writing teacher. At 34 years of age, he has written about 13 novels and commercially published five with German publishers, plus a number of short stories and poems (even though he still didn't know how that happened). After many years writing German-language horror, science fiction, cyberpunk and science fiction, Aleksandr is now writing historical and contemporary fiction in English. He publishes non-commercial and fanwork as "Vashtan". Intellectually, Aleksandr is drawn to the dark side of human nature and history. As a trained historian, he is fascinated by wars, religion and the conflict between the individual and society (as shown in "Test of Faith", his eXcessica release). Aleksandr's characters are often scarred lonely souls at conflict with their environment and pitted against odds that make or break them. Aleksandr has just barely enough time to take care of a Chinese elm bonsai standing on his desk, goes weight-lifting, and confuses opponents as a left-hander in foil fencing. His interests at the moment include professional chess players, international espionage, tailored suits, and fine Turkish rugs. Aleksandr's style has been called "dynamic to the point of breathlessness", "dark to the point of fatalism" and "disturbingly poetic" by publishers and literary agents; however, recently, he has managed to keep some of his main characters alive and most are even getting a HEA or at least HFN ending. His first short story, "Deliverance" was published in the "Forbidden Love" anthology by Noble Romance Publishing in September 2009. Another story, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was contracted by MLR Press for an upcoming anthology.

"Soulful and blues-colored rock 'n' roll that would fit quite nicely as a soundtrack to a biker movie with hairy reprobates swigging bourbon and riding choppers in between sessions of vandalism. Imagine a band that is the sum of ZZ Top, AC/DC, Led Zep, Miller High Life, sunshine, sideburns, and convertibles and you will come pretty close to physically defining The Devil Rides Out."- STONERROCK.COM

The week in news: 5 things to know
Nelson Mandela dies at age 95
The world mourned Thursday's news that former South African President Nelson Mandela died at the age of 95. World leaders, activists, celebrities and citizens across the world remembered Mandela's work to end apartheid in South Africa and to heal his divided country. "We have lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with. He no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages," President Barack Obama said Thursday, citing Mandela as a hugely inspiration figure in his life. "He gave me a sense of what human beings could do when they're guided by their hopes and not by their fears."(Photo: AP Photos)

I use a wine cork cut in 1/2 to keep the baccy in my pipe and not my pocket when I load up before heading out or when I smoke a partial bowl. Works great and free if you or your wife is a wine drinker.
