A gourds-ous display of art
Inspiration lurks around every corner and emits throughout each interaction and conversation Michael Logan has with family and friends.
The gourd artist draws on this motivation to turn gourds — grown in his backyard in Los Chavez — into pieces of art.
Before a gourd has finished growing in Logan's small garden, he can tell you what he envisions the piece to be.
"The gourd tells you what it wants to be," Logan said. "It really does."
From bottle gourds to club gourds to dipper gourds, Logan grows every type of gourd he can find, including Mexican gourds about two-inches tall. The garden, lined with fences for the gourds to grow down from, stands next to Logan's work shed.
Logan relies on nature for the gourd's flat bottoms or irregular structures.
"It's a trick of nature when the bottom is flat," he said. "If I have one that fits, I'll use it, but I have others that wobble."
For gourds with imperfections, Logan places them into a scraps bucket to be used as parts in larger projects.
He plants his gourds indoors in March before transplanting them to the outdoor garden. The gourds are fully grown within six months and takes another three to four months to dry out.
To avoid mildew or mold from growing on the gourds, Logan scrapes off the flesh to reveal a sturdy, cream-colored skin. Depending on the piece Logan wants to create, he will either extract the gourd's seeds or dry the gourd with its seeds.
Logan was searching for a method to teach sixth-grade students geometrical tesselations when he stumbled upon gourds.
He picked up the idea from a science methods teacher, who used gourds to change geometrical designs on flat surfaces by wrapping them around spheres or triangles.
Another social studies teacher utilized gourds as bowls in a traditional manner to store seeds and water.
"If you wanted to store piñons, for example, you can put a stopper on (the gourd) and the mice can't get it," he said.
The two ideas came together to teach students paleolithic designs when learning about math, social studies and science in Logan's class.
Logan said he's taught more than 500 students how to work on gourds during his 10 years teaching in the Los Lunas School District.
Logan gathers inspiration from the world around him, including conversations with friends where projects stem from.
For example, a gourd Buddha head was created from a replica he saw in a Denver shop he visited with his friend.
"I saw the Buddha head as a gourd," he said.
Logan created a water lily out of about six gourds from a trip he took to the Denver Botanical Gardens. The green leaves surrounding the water lily were created from discarded gourd parts that Logan thought he was going to throw away.
"You start off with a basic structure and go from there," he said.
A piece of drift wood laying in front of Logan's yard was envisioned as an ear. Logan said he was going to call the piece, "La Oreja," but after speaking with his father-in-law his interpretation of the piece changed.
"My father-in-law said, 'You know, that looks like a Madonna would fit right in there,' and (I said,) 'Well, I guess so,'" he said.
The cultural influence Mexicans have left on New Mexico is another source of inspiration for Logan, including celebrations around Dia de Los Muertos and Christmas.
Included in his pieces are depictions of saints, from information Logan has read or seen, and Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, masks.
After Logan retired from teaching eight years ago, his free-style work took on a mind of its own.
As time passed and Logan mastered more complex pieces, his techniques improved, he said.
"I'm getting really sophisticated and faster in what I'm doing, because I know what the gourd will withstand — how much pressure it will take if you're cutting it, and if you're gluing it if it's going to stick," he said.
The gourds are either painted with several coats of acrylic paint, burned with pyrography or cut into with a dremel. With complex pieces, Logan uses a match sticks with glue to hinge together two or more gourds.
Logan doesn't usually sell his creations, instead he gives them away to family and friends. In the past eight years, Logan estimates he's given away close to 400 pieces.
"I don't usually sell it because I don't have as much inventory. I give it away as soon as I finish," he said.
The retired teacher said he's building his collection of pieces to sell them.
"I'm like Van Gogh. I'm desperate to sell my work," he said laughing.
In hopes of putting on a Dia de Los Muertos show in the Denver Latino Museum, the Museo de Las Americas, Logan sent a portfolio to directors full of pictures of his gourd art.
The show would cater to the four-day celebration with saints, an ofrenda (offering alter), and Dia de Los Muertos masks.
"It's more beautiful culturally for me then Halloween," he said. "(Halloween's) just gotten so commercial."

Rand Paul likes to call himself a "constitutional conservative." I don't know what that means, nor do I think that mainstream conservative officials or candidates are unconstitutional conservatives. The Wall Street Journal editors aptly makes this point:
[Rand Paul] has now renounced the doubts he expressed last week about some parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and has declared the matter closed. But before we move on, it's important to understand why Mr. Paul was wrong even on his own libertarian terms.
The federal laws of that era were necessary and legal interventions to remedy the unconstitutional infringement on individual rights by state and local governments. On Thursday Mr. Paul finally acknowledged this point when he told CNN, "I think there was an overriding problem in the South so big that it did require federal intervention."
As the editors note, Paul's difficulty in supporting civil rights legislation not only casts doubt on the Tea Party supporters who have strived to repudiate media claims that they are racists, but it has "let them change the campaign subject from the Obama Administration's willy-nilly expansion of the corporate state." Is the real problem, according to Paul, all that federal "meddling" by way of the Fourteenth Amendment, which not only requires nondiscrimination by states but also authorizes Congress to enforce that edict? (If he comes out of hiding, someone in the media can ask him that.)
I'm not sure whether Paul can recover, and I have serious doubts whether he should. As Ross Douthat reminds us, Paul's grab bag of principles — including radical noninterventionism and hostility to nearly every function of the federal government — are ultimately "self-marginalizing and self-destructive." Mitch McConnell, I think, knew exactly what he was doing in endorsing the other guy — trying to prevent not only damage to the Tea Party movement and the Republican Party but also to those who revere the Constitution.

Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
I was excited to try this coffee becuase of Brazil's crop loss this year, the World Cup being in Brazil, and becuase I love coffee that pairs well with chocolate. I was not disappointed after I brewed this coffee with a French Press, and paired it with a brownie. The sweetness from the brownie brought out the plum flavor in this coffee that was exciting and extremely enjoyable. This is a luxurious treat and a must have for lovers of the bean.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
I will never buy another southamerican coffee again. I am used to the coffee we make in Eurupe and has always a part of some African beans. This one had no taste, no smell. Going back for Ethiopia, Kenya or Tika, Tika. Those are the best Starbucks carries.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
I have tried all the reserve coffees and this is one of my favorites. It is processed using the Natural method which is unusual for the region and makes for a great cup. Great plum aroma and a very smooth chocolate finish. Already ordered my third bag.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
Every comment that praises the smooth textures and finish of the coffee turns out correct and appropriate. The Brazil Bourbon from the Rio Verde farm lives up to the praise easily, allowing constant enjoyment from start to finish. My mouth actually almost feels clean now that the cup is coming to an end. However, and I apologize for raining on anybody's parade, this coffee does not live up to the exceptional flavors that a coffee enthusiast can relish in when drinking other Reserve roasts. At best, the Brazil Bourbon is blasé; at worst, it comes off as weak home-brewed coffee that you can make from instant grounds out of a can. Interestingly, though my palette detected no hints of plum or dark chocolate, other flavors did seem to arise, such as a very faint lemony mint. I wouldn't go out of my way for this coffee, as I would with other Reserves in spite of the clean, creamy, smooth finish because exceptional taste doesn't come across.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
This reserve is a must have for the coffee lover who enjoys rich and smooth yet delicately sweet coffee. The body and acidity make this coffee a luxurious treat! Made from the most delicate type of coffee tree, the bourbon tree requires more fertilizing and pruning than any other making this coffee a rare gem and a must have for Starbucks Coffee Masters (which I am)!
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
This stuff has quickly become my very favorite Starbuck's Reserve Coffee. It is a shame this Brazil Bourbon coffee won't be available all year long.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
This is a lovely coffee with a full flavor that ends very smooth. No odd after tastes. After reading the information on this I made chocolate covered sugar plums to pair with it. It was the perfect match. Everyone that tried it with me was delighted and was upset when we ran out. I would highly recommend this roast. As far as the delivery and website go, it was easy to navigate and find what I wanted. I received my item very quickly and without any issues. I am very pleased.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
Not the best -- simply because I'm more into bold/ dark roasted coffees .. this seems to be a light roast, and it's not stated in the package (or did I just missed it?)
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
Today was the first time I tried this product, the coffee is exceptionally smooth, the taste is not over powering and is very enjoyable. I highly recommend this coffee to anyone who loves the taste of great coffee.
Comments about Starbucks Reserve® Brazil Bourbon Rio Verde:
Having been spoiled by the sun-dried coffees, I was hoping for more of the fruity taste associated with them. However, any disappointment on my part was overshadowed by the delightful taste and feel of this Brazillian coffee. Truly wonderful.

**Please be sure to refresh your browser for the latest updates of our inventory**
Porcupine quillwork is an art indigenous to North America and was wide spread all across the country. It pre-dates the use of European imported glass beads. The animals' quills are collected by skinning the animal or throwing a blanket over him so that he ejects his quills into the blanket. They are then sorted by size and either used in their natural color, or are dyed using native plants or commercial dyes. They are soaked in water, the sharp barb clipped off, then used in embroidery. There are about 30 different quillwork stitches or techniques, some of which have been lost. Only a handful of quill-workers remain.

Montana Wins A Round In Water Lawsuit
Special Master Professor Barton H. "Buzz" Thompson is quoted in Forbes (AP) in an article about a water rights dispute between Wyoming and Montana that is being argued in front of the Supreme Court:
Montana filed its lawsuit before the nation's highest court in 2007. The suit alleged Wyoming's agriculture and energy industries were pulling too much water from the Tongue and Powder rivers, tributaries of the Yellowstone. The case is before Special Master Barton Thompson, a Stanford University water-law expert appointed by the court.
In a written opinion released Wednesday, Thompson shot down several of Wyoming's arguments over why it is not violating terms of a 1950s water agreement between the states.
However, he did not settle whether Wyoming was actually using too much water, and Wyoming Attorney General Bruce Salzburg repeated Wednesday that he believes his state never has broken the agreement.
Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock said that in rejecting some of Wyoming's key arguments, Thompson had set the legal "guideposts" within which Montana can prove its case.
After being asked to dismiss the case on those grounds, Thompson wrote in a 43-page opinion, signed Tuesday, that pre-1950 water rights were "unambiguously" protected.
Thompson said those protections also extend to the withdrawal of groundwater - that is, water carried not by the two rivers but found within underground aquifers or other locations across the basin. Groundwater often feeds into nearby rivers.
The compact does not include the term groundwater. But it makes references to "springs and swamps", which Thompson indicated were often synonymous with groundwater.
"The language reflects a clear intent to cover all sources of water for the Yellowstone River and its tributaries," he wrote.
Thompson's opinion favored Wyoming on two other issues.
He wrote that the compact does not require Wyoming reservoirs stocked when water is plentiful to release that water later, when supplies run short downstream in Montana. And he said Wyoming farmers are not prohibited from using more efficient irrigation systems simply because those systems use more water.
Wyoming's Salzburg acknowledged that the decisions in his state's favor were less significant than those that went Montana's way. But he said the case was far from over.
"All this does is say the case can go forward on some issues," he said. "We're very early in the whole process."
Salzburg and Bullock said the opinion was being closely examined by their respective attorneys to determine if they will ask the Supreme Court to review any of Thompson's findings. If not, the case could begin moving toward trial.

Read Poems by
Tifarrah Miller
Children are special.Yes even the bratty ones.From that first moment out of the womb.they wrap there fist around your finger.There telling you no matter what happens i love you forever.
And then at four there already asking you were babies come from.
At eight there wanting to be closer to you.There minds are often full of thought.There growth you cant keep up with.It seems they grow a bit everyday.And they grow a bit wiser every month.
At 12 there not saying much of anything.I dont knows are a common way out.You worry wether theyll be okay or not.A thought pops in your head that maybe your child is gone replaced by a darker soulless being.
You say no and stick to your values and say children are special.Even if they dont know it.And a tear can be shed when they say mommy.Children are special.Yes even the bratty ones

The Witness magazine, which has reflected a substantial history of Christian involvement in peace and justice issues dating back to its inception in 1917, is ceasing publication, the Episcopal Church Publishing Company (ECPC) board decided at its recent meeting in Washington DC, USA.
Bishop Marc Handley Andrus of the Episcopal Diocese of California in the USA has been arrested for blocking the front door of the San Francisco federal building to protest against the deaths caused by the Iraq war - writes Mary Frances Schjonberg for the Episcopal News Service (ENS).
The National Council of Churches USA has said that the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group "generally resonate" with church leaders' recommendations, and has urged President Bush and the United States Congress "to understand the opportunity presented by this report."
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) international policy committee has sent a message to the American government urging Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to increase efforts with the international community to establish peace, stability and political reform in Lebanon.

ST. LOUIS, MO. (KTVI) – On Monday a 15-year-old girl fighting cystic fibrosis realized a dream at a Taylor Swift concert.
Cheyenna Ames got to meet Swift before the concert at the Scottrade Center.
It is something Ames has dreamed of for years. "I was too sick to go the last time she was performing here," Ames said. "This time I don't feel great, but I will be where I need to be for the concert."
Ames already had tickets to the concert, but Monday night representatives from the Bull 93.7 gave her meet and greet tickets.
"Now I will get to actually meet her," she said. "I am going to get as much excitement out of this as I can."
Ames spends most of her days at Cardinal Glennon, so she said it is great to get out of the hospital.
"I have my dress, jewelry and my boots," she said. "This is the Cheyenna I want to see."
Swift's managers would not allow Fox 2 to film the meeting, but Ames said it was "great."
"She was super nice," she said. "My favorite singer."
Ames attended the concert with one of her nurses.
Representatives from the Bull 93.7 said that Ames inspired them and that it was a "great" use of the tickets.
Ames was very happy.
"Thank you so much," she said. "These are my tickets."

You misunderstood my argument on several points.
I didn't say that most women failed to reproduce. I said most women died before 30. I overstated a bit, but the point remains the same. Wikipedia puts the historical count at 1 in 100 births, which works out to about 10%, assuming the average woman had 10 pregnancies. In many cases it was likely as high as 30% of women dying in childbirth.
On the case of oppression, I said nothing about oppression. This is a division of labor issue. On the male side, as I said, there are a lot of high-risk jobs. But if you educate a man, you don't want to risk him in such an occupation, and it's fairly easy to keep him safe, and he can still procreate.
On the womens' side, you've got around a 10-30% chance that the woman will die shortly after finishing her education if you want her to procreate and serve in some serious administrative capacity. So it makes sense to train men in these roles, and keep them out of harm's way. Prior to the 20th century, however, you could not so easily mitigate the survivability challenges of women.
Comment Re:Woah? What?!? (Score 1) 407 407
wait, what? who said anything about saving us anything on health care? I though the goal was just to get everyone health care
My recollection was that Obama talked extensively (and correctly!) about the need to reduce the cost of health care. After all, that's the root cause of so many people not having insurance. (He won points in the debate against Hillary when he said he thought people lacked insurance because they couldn't afford it, not because they didn't want it). Reducing the costs over the long run is key to being able to sustainably provide universal coverage.
If we limit ourselves to the (worthy but insufficient) goal of ensuring coverage to those without means (via government subsidy or government insurance), without "bending the cost curve", then we've committed ourselves to a death spiral. Double-digit percentage yearly increases in costs of care will require more and more people over time to receive government subsidies. Eventually everyone will require subsidies if we don't do something (and even then costs won't be controlled).
We may be spreading the pain more evenly, but the pain is still getting worse for everyone. That's why Obama spoke so eloquently about addressing costs, and why it's so regrettable that Congress has been busy watering down the parts of the health reform bill that have actual potential to lower costs significantly.

The question was how to see through an invisibility cloak based on the current research... essentially, bending various wavelengths of light/RF/EM around itself in some way. The "perfect" cloak would be the one to bend all such forms around itself.
So I'd use sonar... I'mn not using any electromagetic energy, but physical waves, not included in the "perfection" of the cloak. And we already know how to build ultrasonic imagers, so it doesn't even take new technology.

"Either you've done the research and are making it publicly available to all of mankind - or you are keeping it for yourself and only offering the benefits of the research to the select individuals who can afford it."
By patenting the invention, you are (1) motiviating a company to fund the research, (2) publishing the designs for your inventino, and (3) ensuring that after about 20 years anyone will be free to follow those designs with or without your approval or profit.
That may not do as much for mankind as you would like to think we would get were everyone an altruist, but in the real world the alternative is that the invention waits uninvented. (You are not going to create a bioengineered cancer drug without expensive equipment - i.e. without deep pockets funding you.)
Now specifically talking about medical research in the U.S., I do firmly believe the system is broken - but that would be the healthcare system, not the patent system. The wide disparity between brand and generic pricing for drugs is a symptom of a broader problem, and trying to skip the brand phase for new medicines will only change symptoms without addressing the root cause.
(And no, I'm not suggesting that a so-called public option solves it either... but I digress.)
The Nobel Prize should recognize and honor the acheivement, end of story. The acheivement will further mankind in due course.

"Online banking" is here to stay whether you personally go on the internet or not. If you write a paper check at a department store, it's electronically presented via ACH while you are in line. If you have Direct Deposit the transactions to pay you go online from your employer and they can be "broken" to take money "back" quite easily. IF you use a credit card for anything but the old stamped paper, it's transmitted over the internet by people you don't know from adam. Sure these are encrypted to various degrees, but things like ACH don't know Walmart from a 419 scammer with your checkbook.
You're already out there, "not using the internet" in no way means you're not at risk.. you're just ignoring the risk. Unless you use cash-only at which point you're automatically suspect (cash=criminal according to the FBI because you're hiding something from them)
I suppose you could use only cash + money orders/Cashier's checks for large/mail purchases but you're paying a premium and many places won't accept those payments from "customers".

It gets better. This season, Irving has upped his averages and is posting 23.3 ppg to go with 5.7 apg. And if anyone "won" All-Star Weekend, it was Irving, who dazzled in the Rising Stars Challenge, won the Three-Point Shoot Out, then played crunch-time minutes in the actual game on Sunday. Also, it's not just Irving: his Cleveland Cavaliers started the season 5-23, but have quietly gone 11-9 in their last 20 games.

Movie about Selena to play at Cole Park on Friday
CORPUS CHRISTI - Hey movie buffs and Selena fans, Friday night is a chance for both.
"Selena," the movie chronicling the singer's life will take center stage at Cole Park on what would have been her 39th birthday.
Time Warner Cable and the city are putting on the event, which allows families to bring blankets and picnics, hear entertainment sponsored by KSAB Tejano 99.9 and watch the movie.
Performances, which start at 7 p.m., include singer Lorissa Chapa of Corpus Christi who portrayed Selena in the musical "Selena Forever," organizers said.
The movie, starring Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos, is set to start at 8:30 p.m. The event is free.
Vicki Triplett, Time Warner Cable's communications director for the South Texas division, said company officials will present a $500 check to The Selena Foundation, a nonprofit that gives to organizations benefiting children.
Selena's sister Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga said the event is a nice way to bring the community together and honor Selena.
"It's really great that 15 years later people still remember her and keep her close to their hearts," she said.
Selena won a Grammy in 1993 and later that year opened two boutiques, one in Corpus Christi and the second in San Antonio. She was working on her crossover to an English/pop career when she was killed March 31, 1995, by Yolanda Saldivar, the president of her fan club, who is serving a life sentence.
That crossover effort, "Dreaming of You," debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
What: Showing of "Selena" and musical performances
When: Music begins at 7 p.m. today. Movie starts at 8:30 p.m.
Where: Cole Park
Why: To bring the community together and honor the late singer on what would have been her 39th birthday
Cost: Free
What to bring: blankets, picnics

Lourdes students are excited about future university statusWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Student input will play a big role as Lourdes College embarks upon a seven-year strategic plan to expand and become a university.
Savannah Frelin, a sophomore from Toledo, is pursuing an education degree at Lourdes.
"I am very excited and interested to see Lourdes grow into a university. The new plans to start having athletic teams and dorms on campus will really benefit the student body," Frelin said.
In addition to university status, Lourdes wants a residence hall and student athletic teams.
Enrollment at Lourdes has more than doubled in the past four years to about 2,200, half of which are full-time students between the ages of 18 and 22. The college expects to have 3,000 students by 2015.
"It's the natural growth of institutions to self-define what they shall become," said Robert Helmer, president of Lourdes College.
Helmer said there is no defined process for a college to become a university in Ohio. It falls to each individual institution to determine what makes it a university. The growth of graduate courses and students at Lourdes is one reason for the desire to become a university, he said.
"We now have 227 students studying to get their master's degrees," he said.
The master of organizational leadership at Lourdes is a business degree that places less emphasis on finance and more on diversity, ethics and leadership skills. This master's program is popular with the business community in this region, Helmer said.
Lourdes offers two master programs in education and a Master of Science in nursing. The college will add a Master of Arts degree in theological studies next year and one in liberal studies in the near future.
"We expect to double the amount of graduate students in the seven years of the strategic plan," Helmer said. "Research that goes with those master's programs is another hallmark of a university."
Each of the schools at Lourdes, which are all overseen by deans, will become colleges when the school becomes a university. Those schools include arts and sciences, nursing, school of professional studies for business, education, social work and leadership studies, in addition to a graduate school.
International studies abroad are something that is also vital to a university, Helmer said.
Faculty members from Lourdes traveled to Hungary this past summer. A group of 30 university faculty and students from Hungary spent the day at Lourdes on Oct. 16.
Helmer said Lourdes plans to build a student residence facility. Size, location and amenities have been discussed with the intent to move into the planning stages soon.
"We expect to have as many residents as 10 percent of 3,000 students in seven years," Helmer said.
"Another aspect of gaining university status is there will be more degree programs, such as the master of education. I want to continue with my educational goals at the college I love so much," Frelin said.
She earned academic scholarships in her first two years, which has allowed the married mother of two children to pursue her education. She is involved in campus activities, such as Democrats of Lourdes College, Future Educators of America and Non-Traditional Student Union.

Lakeland Flying Tigers Beat Marauders 4-3
BRADENTON – The Marauders (18-19) fell under .500 by losing a 4-3 10-inning thriller on Monday at McKechnie Field against the Lakeland Flying Tigers (24-12). Josh Bell provided a big day at the plate for the Marauders, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.
Chad Kuhl started the game on the mound and battled uncharacteristic wildness early. Kuhl walked Dixon Machado leading off the game, and with two outs hit consecutive batters to load the bases. Austin Green smashed a hard comebacker that Kuhl was able to knock down to strand the bases loaded.
The teams traded runs over the first three innings. Bell doubled with one out in the first to score Jeff Roy and give the Marauders a 1-0 lead. Lakeland struck back with two runs in the second to go on top 2-1, but the Marauders answered in the third with three straight two-out singles by Ashley Ponce, Bell, and Eric Wood to knot the score 2-2.
Kuhl and Lakeland starter Josh Turley cruised through the middle innings. Kuhl whiffed four over six strong frames, while Turley made it through seven innings and whiffed seven. Lakeland scratched out a run in the top of the seventh against Josh Smith, who walked in the go-ahead run with the bases loaded, to put Turley in line for the win.
The Marauders rallied against the Flying Tigers bullpen. Ponce worked a one-out walk against Guido Knudson in the eighth, and Bell followed with a double to left-center to tie the game again 3-3.
Green singled in the 10th against Robby Rowland (L, 0-3), who had previously tossed a scoreless ninth. Green reached third with two outs, and came in to score on an infield single deep to third by Tyler Hanover.
Roy walked with one out against Angel Nesbitt (S, 5). Roy moved over on Ponce's groundout, leading Nesbitt to intentionally walk Bell. Wood grounded back to the mound to end the game.
Tyler Clark (W, 3-0) earned the win on the mound by pitching a scoreless ninth.
The Marauders and Flying Tigers meet again on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. John Kuchno will start for the Marauders. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

text: The Hydlide wiki last edited by Jagged85 on 02/10/15 06:46PM View full history OverviewThe game is regarded as a classic in Japan, where it was well-received and considered an innovator when it first released in 1984. While it had some similarities to two other real-time action RPG's released earlier that year, Dragon Slayer and The Tower of Druaga, Hydlide departed from them in several ways.While Dragon Slayer and The Tower of Druaga were mostly dungeon crawlers, Hydlide was a more open-world game, with outdoor fields to explore. Other innovations include being able to switch between attack mode and defense mode, quick save and load options which can be done at any moment of the game through the use of passwords as the primary back-up, and the introduction of a health regeneration mechanic where health and magic slowly regenerate when standing still.LegacyAlong with Dragon Slayer, Hydlide was one of the games that inspired the hugely successful Legend of Zelda franchise, and in turn many of its clones. Hydlide also had an influence on on the acclaimed action RPG series, Ys, which, for example, uses a similar health-regeneration mechanic. This recharging health mechanic first introduced by Hydlide in 1984 would, decades later, become a common mechanic widely used in many video games, including most modern first-person and third-person shooters.Despite the game's legacy in Japan, and its importance in gaming history, it has unfortunately acquired a mostly negative reputation in North America. The game took several years to release in North America, by which time The Legend of Zelda had a more refined, advanced take on the action-RPG formula. Hydlide was thus criticized by American audiences as being primitive in comparison, and some even accused it of being a Zelda clone, unaware of Hydlide's original 1984 release and its influence on Zelda.

(Updated at 11:00 a.m.) The Commonwealth of Virginia will be holding its annual school supplies, clothing and footwear sales tax holiday this weekend.
From Friday, Aug. 1 to Sunday, Aug. 3 eligible purchases will be exempted from Virginia's sales tax, which is 6 percent in Northern Virginia. To be eligible, each school supply item must be $20 or less and each article of clothing or footwear must be $100 or less.
Generally, computer equipment, clothing accessories, protective equipment and sporting goods are not exempt from the tax.
Teachers and administrators welcomed an estimated 23,586 students inside the halls of Arlington Public Schools for the first time since June this morning (Tuesday).
Students got their first chances to experience the final phase of the new Yorktown High School and the new Wakefield High School. Teachers and volunteers were on hand to show students around their new schools.
According to school officials, 137 school buses were mobilized today to pick up students from around the county.
The school system's enrollment will grow by almost 1,000 students from last year's Pre-K-12 enrollment of 22,645. The student count won't be official until Sept. 30, when APS sends the number to the state Department of Education.

When school starts on Tuesday, the Arlington County Police will again increase their presence on the roads and in school zones.
Police officers will be a high-visibility presence, directing traffic in school zones, and variable message boards will be placed along county roadways reminded drivers to take extra precaution as students start returning to area schools.
Arlington County issued the following tips for safe driving on the first day of school:
Drivers are reminded to:
- Obey speed limits which may change during school zone times.
- Avoid distracted driving and keep your attention on the road.
- Watch for students walking and riding bikes to school.
- Don't pass a stopped school bus loading or unloading passengers.
- Have all occupants wear their seatbelts.
Students, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to:
- Cross the street at marked crosswalks and never against a red light.
- Look before you cross and follow the direction of the school crossing guards.
- Always walk on designated sidewalks or paths never along the side of a road.
With a little prevention, all drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians can arrive at their destinations in a timely and safe manner.
Sept. 3 is also being billed by AAA Mid Atlantic as "Terrible Traffic Tuesday," the day when roads are jammed because school returns and summer vacation season ends.
According to AAA, "the average 20.4 minute daily delay that drivers experienced around [the D.C. area] in July and August will return to an average of 25.8 minutes during September."
Virginia's annual back-to-school sales tax holiday starts today (Friday).
From Aug. 2-4, certain school supplies, clothing and footwear will be exempt from Virginia's 6 percent sales tax. As in years past, the exemption only applies to school supplies priced $20 or less and clothing and shoes priced $100 or less.

In a recent study by the Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families, only 24 percent of students said their parents were actively involved in helping them succeed in school.
With that in mind, APCYF has issued some advice for parents to help their kids "get off to a great start" as Arlington starts a new school year.
September is an exciting time for children, families and school staff. The Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families (APCYF) wants to remind everyone that it's a great time to think about what families can do to get off to a positive start and help make this a successful, asset-building school year for your children. Assets are simply the positive experiences, relationships and values that help young people make smart choices and grow up ready to be responsible, healthy, successful community members. Learn more at http://www.search-institute.
Mary Ann Moran, Assets Liaison and founding member of APCYF, advises parents and caregivers that a good start to the year begins at home with the basics. All children and teens need good rest and a healthy breakfast. "Although you can't make kids eat or sleep, you can create an environment and set boundaries that encourage getting enough sleep and healthy eating," said Moran.
- A healthy breakfast is vital. If you have a picky eater, get creative and offer choices. Any healthy food is good for breakfast – even pizza or PB&J.
- On average, elementary school children need 10-11 hours of sleep. Teens need 8-9 hours. Setting a regular bed time helps.
- No one can sleep with a cell phone under their pillow. Consider collecting all electronic devices at bedtime. Kids can retrieve them in the morning.
- Try to plan time to avoid "scrambling-to-get-ready" syndrome – it's a bad way to start anyone's day.
According to a survey of 1,651 students in Arlington, only 24% of 8th to 10th graders report having parents involved in school. Get involved with your child's education now and stay involved all the way through 12th grade. One way to participate is to have real conversations about school. "Do you have homework?'' is not a conversation starter. Instead, parents might say:
- Who did you eat lunch with?
- Why did you choose that particular book for your report?
- Tell me about your new teacher. (Instead of "Is your teacher nice?")
- Tell me about the kids in your class.
- When I went into __ grade, I remember feeling _______.
If your child doesn't want to talk when they get home from school or you first come home from work, try again later, said Moran.
Remind yourself that it's your child who goes back to school, so their successes and their failures are their own. It's hard, but let them learn from both. Children learn about being responsible and planning ahead by practice. At some point, they probably will forget their homework, let projects go to the last minute and leave books they need at school. But if they never experience consequences, there's no motivation to learn to be responsible. Treat mistakes as learning opportunities to let children know you believe in them and their ability to deal with what happens, advised Moran.
Finally, let kids be kids. In our rush-around, stressed-out world, adults can help children have time to be silly, play and daydream, Moran said. It's essential for them and it does wonders for us. For more information, visit http://

Students Head Back to School — Today is the first day of school for nearly 23,000 Arlington Public School students. School start times vary in Arlington, from 7:50 a.m. for middle schools to 9:24 a.m. for the H-B Woodlawn Secondary program. Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy has created a back-to-school video for students and parents. Arlington County, meanwhile, is urging drivers to be especially cautious on the roads this morning.
AAA Warns of 'Terrible Traffic Tuesday' — AAA Mid-Atlantic is warning of "the mother of all gridlock" today, a day the organization has dubbed "Terrible Traffic Tuesday." With students heading back to school and workers back from summer vacations, AAA expects traffic congestion to spike 26 percent compared to mid-summer. Adding to the congestion in Arlington will be the 146 yellow APS school buses on the roads. [AAA Mid-Atlantic, Bethesda Now]
Special Election Today — Voters in Virginia's 45th House of Delegates District will head to the polls today in the special election to replace Del. David Englin, who resigned following the admission that he had an extramarital affair. The three candidates in the race are Tim McGhee (R), Rob Krupicka (D) and Justin Malkin (L). Only five electoral precincts in Arlington are included in the 45th District: Aurora Hills, Fairlington, Abingdon, Oakridge, and Shirlington. [Arlington County]

Virginia's annual back-to-school sales tax holiday starts tomorrow (Friday).
From Aug. 3-5, certain school supplies, clothing and footwear will be exempt from Virginia's 5 percent sales tax. The exemption only applies to school supplies priced $20 or less and clothing and shoes priced $100 or less.
A complete list of qualifying items is available on the Virginia Department of Taxation website.
Arlington public school students headed back to the classrooms today.
From the scheduled 7:50 a.m. start at middle schools to the 9:24 a.m. start at the H-B Woodlawn secondary program, from kindergarten to 12th grade, students made their way to school this morning on foot, on the bus and via car.
No significant problems with the back-to-school effort were reported, at least not from a public safety perspective.
As the school year starts, Arlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy released a 'welcome back' video for students and parents. Also, Murphy announced that Deirdra McLaughlin has been appointed Assistant Superintendent for Finance, replacing the retiring Mary Beth Chambers.
The Tuesday after Labor Day in Washington is traditionally known as 'Terrible Traffic Tuesday.'
The monicker, which comes from AAA Mid-Atlantic, refers to the sudden, jolting return to heavy traffic that occurs when Washingtonians return from their summer vacations and head back to work — while students in Virginia, at the same time, head back to school.
Among other traffic jams, nearly the entire length of northbound I-395 was slow this morning, from the 14th Street Bridge through Alexandria.
How was your commute, either on the roads or on transit?
With Arlington Public Schools back in session next week, the police department is reminding drivers to obey traffic laws, especially when kids are walking to and from school.
To help hammer home that message, police officers and sheriff's deputies will be conducting "high visibility enforcement" around school zones next week.
Here's the police press release:
The Arlington County Police Department, in conjunction with the Arlington County Sheriff's Office, will be out in force next week as the 2011-2012 school year begins. Officers and Deputy Sheriffs will be conducting high visibility traffic enforcement in and around the school zones throughout Arlington County starting on Tuesday, September 6, 2011. This will also coincide with the 3rd Annual Virginia Bicyclist and Pedestrian Awareness Week to emphasis the need to share the road with vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists.Drivers are reminded to:
- Obey speed limits which may change during school zone times.
- Avoid distracted driving and keep your attention on the road.
- Watch for students walking and riding bikes to school. Remember, we all share the road.
- Don't pass a stopped school bus loading or unloading passengers.
- Have all occupants wear their seatbelts.Students, bicyclist, and pedestrians are reminded to:
- Cross the street at marked crosswalks and never against a red light.
- Look before you cross and follow the direction of the school crossing guards.
- Dismount from your bicycle and walk it in a crosswalk when crossing a street.
- Always walk on designated sidewalks or paths never along the side of a road.Arlington County will have variable message boards placed along the roadways reminding citizens of the start of school and to drive safely. With a little prevention, all drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians can arrive at their destinations in a timely and safe manner.
Arlington Sends Surprise $2.2 Million Bill to Falls Church — Arlington is billing the City of Falls Church an extra $2.2 million for its use of the Arlington County jail, the Falls Church News-Press reported late last night. Falls Church City Manager Wyatt Shields told the paper that Arlington sent the bill after discovering a "clerical error" that resulted in Falls Church being undercharged since 2008. [FCNP]
Lubber Run Renovation in Doubt — Arlington doesn't have room in its current budget to pay for multi-million dollar renovations to the shuttered Lubber Run Amphitheater, County Manager Barbara Donnellan said at a recent public meeting. However, Donnellan said renovations could, theoretically, become a priority in future budget cycles. [Sun Gazette]
Arlington Fighting to Start School in August — Arlington has been persistently applying for a state waiver to start the school year before Labor Day. Each year the county applies, however, it gets rejected. Now, school officials in Fairfax County and Alexandria are also considering applying for the right to start school before Labor Day. [Washington Examiner]
Reasonably-Priced Buffet Spots Profiled — TBD looks at seven of the most "notable" and/or "dirt-cheap" buffet options in Arlington. [TBD]
Thanks to generous donations, the 62 homeless youth served by Doorways for Women and Families were able to go back to school today with supply-filled backpacks.
The backpacks contained lunch bags, water bottles, pencils, crayons and even a gift card redeemable for donated clothing.
"The security of starting the school year well prepared will help these children to overcome some of the other uncertainties in their life right now," Doorways services coordinator Kristen Barnes wrote on the organization's blog.

Back to School — The nearly 21,000 students enrolled in Arlington Public Schools are returning to class today. Watch out for school buses on the roads this morning.
Arlington Parents Like Their Kid's School, Teachers — On Friday, we reported that a survey conducted on behalf of Arlington Public Schools found that parents were very much opposed to redrawing school boundaries. Now comes more evidence that parents of APS students are happy with their kid's current school. Asked to grade their child's school, teachers, and quality of education, parents gave each a 4.4 out of 5 on average. More from the Sun Gazette.
Arlington-Based Rosetta Stone Disappoints Investors — Language education software maker Rosetta Stone, which has its corporate headquarters in Arlington, has struggled through executive departures and weak sales this year. The company hopes to turn that around with a new product, to be launched next week. More from Business Week.
Enthusiastic Review for 'Chess' — Signature Theater's production of Chess, which was inspired by a much-hyped 1972 chess match between American Bobby Fischer and the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky, might not sound too exciting at first. But add a rock soundtrack, energetic performances and (of course) a love story, and Chess "sizzles," according to theater critic Terry Ponick at washingtontimes.com. The Shirlington-based production runs through October 3.
New Bike Lane in Courthouse — Cyclists now have a safer way to get to Courthouse from North Rhodes Street (and vice-versa). The Ode Street Tribune reports that a bike lane has been added to 15th Street.

Arlington Public Schools will be opening next week with at least 600 more students than a year ago and 14 new relocatable classrooms to accommodate the burgeoning student body.
Relocatable classrooms — superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy prefers the term "learning cottages" — are here to stay in Arlington County. The school system, having determined that the portable units are ten times more cost-effective than physically building a new classroom, has started buying rather than leasing the "relocatables," and has started buying them four at a time for a further cost savings.
This summer APS added four relocatables each to Glebe, Carlin Springs, and Barrett elementary schools. One relocatable was installed at Nottingham Elementary and H-B Woodlawn, according to APS spokesperson Frank Bellavia.
The school system also likes relocatables because of the flexibility they provide. They can be moved from school to school, can be put into reserve in case of a sudden influx of students, and can be removed if the student population enters a cyclical downturn, as it did in the 1990s.
Indeed, although student enrollment is projected to increase through 2020 (see chart below), school board member Sally Baird says the increase is as much a "generational spike" in certain areas of the county as it is a result of Arlington's steadily growing population. That growth, she says, is only temporary.
"There will be, at some point, a plateau," Baird said.
In addition to the "relocatables" — APS is also implementing a number of strategies specifically intended to allow then to squeeze in more students without laying a single brick.
Class sizes have increased by one student across the board, with the exception of the fourth and fifth grade classes. At high schools, classrooms are being utilized six out of seven periods, up from five. And Washington-Lee High School is offering "zero period" classes before the start of school, a strategy that may spread to other high schools.
One thing that the school system is no longer considering is redrawing school boundaries. Although the idea was under consideration, it was panned by parents when polled for an APS survey.
Virginia's back-to-school sales tax holiday is in effect this weekend.
Starting today, there will be no sales tax on:
- School supplies selling for $20 or less per item
- Clothes and shoes selling for $100 or less per item
The tax holiday will end after Sunday. Click here to see a list of qualifying and exempt items.
