It may be the most glorious city ever built by mortal hands.
It has rivals, to be sure: Dalaran, with its magnificent spires, floating in the Crystalsong Forest, and Darnassus atop the World Tree Teldrassil. Gilneas, Stormwind, the former Lordaeron can all claim greatness in one way or another. But Silvermoon, fair Silvermoon, might well simply be the most straightforwardly beautiful city on the face of Azeroth.
Silvermoon was carved out of the northern reaches of the Eastern Kingdoms thousands of years ago, following the Sundering of the ancient single continent of Kalimdor during the War of the Ancients. The exiled Quel'dorei (children of noble birth in ancient Darnassian) found themselves changed by the exile from their homeland and the Well of Eternity, growing slighter, paler, and suffering from the pangs of magical withdrawal. Their leader, Dath'remar Sunstrider, came up with a plan not entirely dissimilar from the one Illidan Stormrage hatched when faced with the loss of the original Well during the war. He would make a new one.
A place worthy of a city
First, however, Dath'remar would have to lead his people to a proper location for one. Their original landing spot, in the wilderness we call Tirisfal Glades today, proved unsuitable (some say due to malefic whispers from deep below the surface of the land; others, due to unquiet and disturbing dreams). The self-proclaimed High Elves soon moved further inland. They found a proper place for their new city, on a nexus of ley lines that would prove suitable for Dath'remar's plans. The land, of course, was held by others -- forest Trolls of the Amani tribe, who dominated most of the northern parts of the new continent. They were not using the ley line nexus, but they proved unwilling to allow the Elves to do so, and such began the Troll Wars.
Dath'remar would not be denied. The actual Sunwell itself was created on an island north of where the city of Silvermoon now lies. Using a vial of the waters of the original Well of Eternity and their own arcane power, the High Elves under Dath'remar ignited a font of power unlike anything that had gone before it, a completely artificial magical source, shaped by mortal hands and mortal wills. Unlike the original Well of Eternity, the Sunwell's power was shaped by the High Elves, and unlike the new Well created by Illidan, there was no magical tree and no pact with the dragon aspects subsuming the Sunwell's power. Using the magic of the Sunwell, the High Elves created Silvermoon and fortified it for generations.
Silvermoon weathered the Troll Wars and hosted the first human sorcerers ever trained as allies to the High Elves in their ongoing war with the trolls. The Convocation of Silvermoon, a group of High Elven lords, was tasked with protecting their people from the demons of the Twisting Nether and leading them into the future, while the kings of the Sunstrider line retained a degree of power as "first among equals" and potent mages in their own right. Even after some High Elven wizards had moved to Dalaran or joined the Council of Tirisfal to empower the Guardians that protected Azeroth from demon incursion, the Convocation continued its work. For 4,000 years following the end of the Troll Wars, while humanity spread across much of the continent, the High Elves were content with their great forest of Quel'thalas and their grand capital. Silvermoon became a masterwork combining the ancient art and architecture of their Quel'dorei ancestors (the Highborne cast out by the Night Elves), changed and developed to match the new land they found themselves in and the new source of power they'd made for themselves.
Persisting through the ages
Silvermoon continued on in this way for century after century. Countless attempts by the Amani to raid the city were turned aside. Magical threats were dealt with. Unlike other cities, which often required manual labor to construct, the existence of the Sunwell meant that Silvermoon could change and grow with every new generation (admittedly, for a race as long lived as the High Elves, that wasn't too many) and be fundamentally altered, redesigned, and reworked with pure thought by the magisters of the city.
Even Dalaran, possibly the only place in the Eastern Kingdoms that could boast nearly as many mages, had to make do with magic unaided by such a potent source of power. The potency of the Sunwell was proved during the Second War, when Horde forces allied with Zul'jin's Amani attempted to reach the city only to discover that their enslaved red dragons could not penetrate a ward of force erected by the Sunwell. Dath'remar's descendant Anasterian (possibly Dath'remar's son, although that's not stated for sure) presided over the city's defenses and his people's membership in the Alliance of Lordaeron that defeated Zul'jin and his Horde allies.
Following the Second War, Silvermoon returned to its splendid isolation. The Trolls were even less of a threat than they had been following their defeat during the Troll Wars. The Human who had held a debt from that time, Anduin Lothar, had discharged it, leaving the High Elves free to turn away from the affairs of the shorter-lived race once and for all. Anasterian's rule was poised to enter a golden age, his son Kael'thas off studying magic in Dalaran, his people content and safe, the forests of Quel'thalas protected by Sylvanas Windrunner in her sister Alleria's stead. It would seem nigh impossible for a foe to get past the elfgates, runestones, and the Sunwell's own defenses to menace glorious Silvermoon.
The doom of Silvermoon
Sadly, it was the awe-inspiring power of the Sunwell that doomed Silvermoon. After thousands of years of inviolate solitude, Silvermoon met its end in the hands of a traitor who should have been one of its staunchest defenders. Dar'Khan Drathir, one of the Convocation of Silvermoon, was dissatisfied with his lot as one of the effective rulers of his people. He did not feel respected, despite being one of the most powerful mages of his people in a position of near-total control over the day-to-day lives of every High Elf in Silvermoon. So when the traitor prince Arthas Menethil, fresh from his soul-destroying sojurn in Northrend, reached out to the dissatisfied mageling, he was all too happy to sell out his society, his grand city, and his appointed task in hopes of attaining sole control over the Sunwell rather than sharing it with the rest of the Convocation. Arthas fought his way through the elfgates, harried by Sylvanas and her followers, but the rangers were unaware that they had already lost.
Dar'Khan sabotaged the Sunwell's defenses by attacking unprepared members of the Convocation while Arthas marched his Undead host straight through Silvermoon, razing the center of the city and marching across a path of frost to the Sunwell itself. Dar'Khan had no inkling that Arthas cared nothing for his dreams and ambitions and thus was completely surprised when the death knight used the Sunwell's power to raise the necromancer Kel'thuzad as a lich, destroying the well in a corrupting blast. After killing his cat's paw, Arthas and Kel'thuzad departed the ravaged scene, leaving a Sunwell tainted by necromancy, wholly unsuited to being used by the living. A returning Kael'thas, come home to try and defend it only to find his father dead and his people in shambles, was forced to destroy the well due to lack of a sufficient means to cleanse it.
It cannot be said that Kael didn't try his best. Faced with a people doomed to die a slow death with the Sunwell left active or a slower death without it, he tried to make the best of the bad hand he was dealt, only to face betrayal from his "allies" and find himself forced to accept help from Lady Vashj and her Naga. This led Kael to Outland and Illidan's service. In his wake, the renamed Sin'dorei (children of the blood, so named for the blood of so many of their people shed during Arthas' invasion) waited for the aid he promised to send them. Those few who remained did their best to protect their people, like Lor'themar Theron (Kael'thas' appointed regent) and thus ended up involved in Dar'Khan's second bid to control the Sunwell's power. In the end, Dar'Khan failed, and the Human Anveena Teague was revealed to be all that remained of the untained power of the Sunwell itself, given human form by powerful magics. Yet the Sin'dorei still waited for that promised aid from their prince.
Grand Magister Rommath, one of Kael's servants who had fought alongside the prince when he renamed their people, had followed him from the dungeons of Dalaran to the blasted land of Hellfire, returned to the desperate people of Silvermoon with such aid. Along with the new teachings Kael'thas had received from Illidan that allowed Blood Elves to learn ways of drawing the needed magical power from other entities, and a cadre of magisters trained in such ways, Rommath also brought the chained Naaru known as M'uru.
Captured when Kael'thas and his forces stormed Tempest Keep, the Naaru vessel that had arrived in the Netherstorm, Magister Alastor Bloodsworn led the development of a means to draw the Light from M'uru. He eventually found a way to invest Lady Liadrin with that power, although it was not revealed until later that M'uru actually allowed it to occur and that the Blood Knights who followed Liadrin were not, as they thought, commanding the Light against its will but rather were being converted by it. The creation of the Blood Knights was an important part of the slow recreation of Silvermoon. The city stands today a mere half of its former self, still divided in twain by the scar of Arthas' Undead army and its passage.
Enduring beauty
In the past few years, Silvermoon has endured much. As it managed to recreate itself, its people found themselves members of the Horde, in part due to the intercession of their former Ranger General Sylvanas. Now Banshee Queen of the Forsaken, she served as intermediary between the Sin'dorei and Thrall, then-Warchief, and thanks to their own efforts in hunting down a now-Undead Dar'Khan and destroying him themselves they earned their place. Then Kael'thas' return as a servant of the Burning Legion shook the people and their idea of who they were, but Liadrin's revelation and M'uru's sacrifice returned the Sunwell to them.
Finally, through the return of Quel'delar and the destruction of Arthas, a measure of peace has been restored to these survivors of the Undead attack. Silvermoon has come full circle, a vision in autumnal grace, again blessed by the light of the sun. The city's future remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, though, and that is simply that Silvermoon remains one of the most beautiful cities Azeroth has ever seen.

Pretty Baby
If I had a dime for every time I had to defend this brilliant film, I'd be a millionaire. The film is set in the red-light district of the early 1900s in Storyville, New Orleans—a time when prostitution was beginning to be looked upon as foul by the community. Brooke Shields plays Violet, one of three children who are being raised in the brothel in which her mother Hattie (Susan Sarandon) works and resides. The house also serves as a sort of hotel for passing travelers and is stumbled upon by a photographer named Bellocq (Keith Carradine). At first, he is only interested in the women in order to study how they live and to capture their beauty and charismatic wonder with his camera. But when the 12-year old Violet begins her initiation to join the ranks of the women there, he becomes trapped in a battle with his conscience to both stop the girl from having a future in the house and to hold off his desire to keep her for himself. As for Violet, she is, after all, only a child and offers no aid in helping Bellocq make the right decision. She plays on his affection as one would expect a vain, spoiled, and fatherless girl to do. The resolution that comes to these characters does so without any sort of satisfactory closure. You'll still be thinking about the future of people like this long after you've finished the film.
Now, let's get past the controversy quickly before continuing. Yes, Brooke Shields is a 12-year old portraying a child prostitute who is artistically nude in some shots, though never performing a sexual act on screen. To most, this would be considered child pornography. But let us remember this is Louis Malle we're talking about—a brilliant director who has a gift for delivering complex coming-of-age films as honestly and true to life as one can in cinema. Let us also remember that this film was made in the '70s when artistic expression without limitations was soon to come to an end, especially in America. Lastly, for a person in this time period, the social requirements for whom you could marry and sleep with was as far removed from today's standards as you could imagine. With that said, I believe there is a lot more than what meets the eye with this film. I believe that it is still relevant and important in our society, and is perhaps a visual image that pairs well with songs like "House of the Rising Sun."Continue Reading
The Puffy Chair
May God bless and keep little indie films (in circulation). Sure, I understand that big budgets and campy plots are great mainstream selling points, but comedy is one thing that had started to become jostled by these guidelines, oftentimes coming out not so great in the finish. The Puffy Chair is awesome because it's for those who can certainly be amused by what many modern comedies have to offer, but don't necessarily find them to be funny. This film draws on the hilarity of good intentions and everyday scenarios in a tasteful and unrushed way that is warm and very admirable.
Josh is a good son, equipped with a sort of filial duty when it comes to his relationship with his dad. As a child, he remembers that his father used to adore a certain reclining chair that eventually retired to furniture heaven. While shopping on eBay, he comes across a near exact replica of it and buys it, mapping out a road trip from New York to Virginia with his girlfriend Emily (Katie Aselton). The plan is to pick it up and bring it to his father for his birthday and it's also a chance for them to learn more about each other and bond. While stopping along the way to say hello to his earthy and emotional brother Rhett (Rhett Wilkins), the two find out that they have much in store for their vacation once his brother invites himself along for the ride. In a tangle of morals, passions, and disagreement, the trip turns out to be a redefining slap in the face for all the things Josh thought were true and well. And while the film does take a break from comedy in order to let you get angry in some cases or sad with others, it is absolutely hilarious. If you've ever tried to do the right thing and have it all go wrong, leaving you questioning what is right, then this is a comedy for you.Continue Reading
Return To The 36th Chamber
Director Lau Kar Leung is sort of a bridge from the hey-day of Shaw Brother kung-fu films to the new wave, hyper-stylized martial arts spearheaded by Tsui Hark. And I mean that literally, since he worked with Shaw master Chang Cheh and then directed his own films at the end of their era, and then worked with Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, and others of their ilk. I also mean figuratively, as his directing and choreography is pretty much solely responsible for moving things from chopsocky to the more modern approach. Unfortunately, he is pretty much only known for The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, an undeniable masterpiece, and maybe for quitting Chan's Drunken Master 2. But just about any one of his films would stand out amongst the crowd were they to be discovered in the West. Even though Return To The 36th Chamber was a cheap, cash grab it remains both innovative and gasp-inducing to this day.
Most likely the reason Return didn't get the attention the first one received is because it's not technically a sequel and it's more or less the exact same plot. Gordon Liu returns, playing a lovable loser whose town is being harassed for money which they cannot afford so Liu pretends to be a Shaolin master in hopes of scaring away these bullies. After being humiliated when his plan fails, he heads to the real Shaolin temple to learn their ways but is only assigned construction duties once they accept him. He finds this worthless but when he returns home he finds he's acquired skills he did not have before. Beat for beat, this is the same plot as the first. But while Leung still sells the story adequately, it's in his fights that he really shines.Continue Reading
Cat Dancers
The only magic I believe in is the magic of documentaries like this. It had the power to reach deep down into my soul and turn on a switch in a room that's been dark for years. Honestly, it is the most beautiful love story that I have seen to date—a love of life, animals, dance, God, and intimacy.
Ron and Joy Holiday were two childhood friends who set out to make a name for themselves in the dance world, more specifically adagio ballet. Ron's first few stories of Joy are small and candid, mainly circulating around her Catholic upbringing. One in particular that is essential to their future together comes from Joy visiting a Mother Superior with the uncertainty of whether she should continue her future in dance after college or become a nun. "Go to New York and dance for God," was the answer she received, and it was after that story that I knew this documentary had much in store.Continue Reading
All About Lily Chou-Chou
The youth of many nations, especially industrial ones, are full not only of angst but of a yearning to fit in and be understood. For Yuichi and a group of followers just like him, the "ethereal" music of Lily Chou-Chou has become the center of their world, both in cyberspace and reality. Yuichi is the fan site manager under the code name "philla," where he reviews and praises her music with a sense of enlightenment and desperation. Like today's youth, only anonymous and without photos, these young people drift online in order to connect and rave about the things they find most interesting, which for this group is Lily. But underneath the melodies and enchantment, Yuichi and other fans are still just homeless souls looking for adventure. Though Yuichi is really just looking for an escape, his reality grants him the total opposite. He and his actual friends occupy themselves with petty theft, a mysterious summer vacation, and several humiliating pranks that go terribly wrong. His world shifts into a tumult of despair and unkindness in what he calls "the age of gray," where all the color bleeds dry from the world. His only solace is a lush and isolated rice field where he goes to be alone and listen to Lily.
This advancement of newfound responsibility and savage energy reminds me of what it is like to become an adult. When you're young, you almost worship your music idols and look to their sound for understanding and piece of mind. But for Yuichi and others, the pressure to find that same balance in reality becomes nearly impossible after you reach a certain age. Not that some can't or others never did, but for him there is no turning back or resolution.Continue Reading
A Matter of Life and Death
On the DVD for A Matter of Life and Death, Martin Scorsese tells a story about how, when he was growing up, the filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger sort of felt like some mythical, lost duo of directors whose work was massively overlooked and re-edited, only to be fully appreciated in the '80s once Scorsese had the power to do so. Watching their films now makes that story seem almost under-exaggerated as every film that comes out on DVD is confoundingly innovative, as if it will be made ten years into the future. And this is no exception to the film, A Matter of Life and Death, a rich, complicated fantasy that leaves so many similar films of the time in its dust.
David Niven plays WWII fighter pilot, Peter Carter, who makes one last radio call to a female soldier, June, as his plane is crashing. Coming to terms with his death, Niven uses the call to calm his nerves and over the course of the conversation the two fall in love, having never met.Continue Reading
Woman in the Dunes
Metaphors are perhaps the greatest and most poetic way to express a concept or condition without heavy exposition in dialog. A good poem, for example, should never be clear in words alone, but with a trained eye, one should and hopefully can decipher what the work is getting at. When I first saw Woman in the Dunes, while watching it and after finishing it, I interpreted it as having many metaphors, one being commitment and the surrender that comes to people in terms of settling down. Also, it places the main character into an alien existence that is far removed from his conventional and vanity-filled comfort zones. The sand in this film also presents a metaphor of its own, but I'll leave that for you to conclude.
Early Japanese cinema is a leader in this kind of poetic and classic storytelling. Also shot in black and white, films like Double Suicide and Akira Kurosawa's Rashômon incorporate centuries' worth of idealism and culture into an hour and a half's worth of wonder.Continue Reading
Clash of the Titans (1981)
CLASH DANCE The well known and much revered stop-motion special effects guru Ray Harryhausen has brought numerous beings of various shapes and sizes to life over his career (The 3 Worlds of Gulliver, Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger). In the mythological world of Clash of the Titans there are many interesting characters and creatures. Playing God behind the camera one frame at a time, Harryhausen has brought some of his most memorable offspring to life (Medusa, Pegasus, Giant Scorpions, the Kracken).
STORYLINE OF THE GODS Here's the deal, Zeus (Laurence Olivier), in one of his many amorous exploits, has had a son named Perseus (Harry Hamlin). Due to Zeus' favoritism of Perseus over the Goddess Thetis' (Maggie Smith) son Calibos, a clash begins [insert opening credits and dramatic musical score here]. From that point on Perseus sets out on a quest to "fulfill his destiny" by defeating numerous obstacles, slaying fantastic beasts, and winning the hand of the doll-faced Andromeda (Judi Bowker). The script was penned by Beverly Cross who also scripted other Harryhausen films such as Argonauts and Eye of the Tiger.Continue Reading
THIS JUICE BUGZ Somewhere between Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Batman there is Tim Burton's feature length sophomore effort, Beetlejuice. Upon a recent rewatch, I realized I'd forgotten how truly amazing, wildly inventive and original this phantasmagoric odd-ball comedy was! It's quite frankly the purest Burton experience for me. It's just silly how much of JUICE's visual language oozes with Burtonisms! Add to that the sweet (as in cool) dialogue and characters created by co-authors Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. I'm kinda in love with it lately!
THE DIRT ON THE DEAD… Adam and Barbara Maitland just died. Played with great wholesomeness by Alec Baldwin (Adam) and Geena Davis (Barbara). So they die. But for a while they don't know it. It becomes more apparent to them when they find a copy of the Handbook For The Recently Deceased laying around the house and the rude awakening that the Deetz' are the new occupants and owners of their house! The Deetz family comprises of the artistically manic Delia (Catherine O'Hara), her uptight hubby Charles (Jeffrey Jones), and their ever morbidly morose daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder).Continue Reading
Over The Edge
It's exciting knowing that once upon a time the music of Cheap Trick inspired chaos and teen violence. With the Vietnam War over and lost, Nixon out of the White House and Disco past its apex, what was left to rebel against? In the case of these pot smokin' rock'n & rollin juvenal delinquents it's the closing of the local rec center that gets their panties in a wad. Over The Edge is an amazing relic from 1979, like its East-Coast cousin from the same year, The Warriors, it perfectly captures its period and its only-in-America geography. Instead of the ethnically diverse landscape of the street gang classic this one is an all-white, pre-Spielberg suburban West Coast sprawl, when kids were either jocks or burnouts, but all could agree that school sucked, parents are hypocrites, and cops are fascists. I bet the designers of Dazed And Confused took a look at this film's style. Also it's been said that it inspired Kurt Cobain's teen rebellion opus "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
It also mark the debut for Matt Dillon who would reign over filmdom as the king of mumbling teen rebellion for the next decade. What a run he would have. He followed Over The Edge with the summer camp virginity-losing caper, Little Darlings (still not available on DVD and out of print on VHS). He then would play Moody, the ultimate high school bully, in My Bodyguard. And then he would win the James Dean wannabe sweepstakes in the SE Hinton misunderstood teen trifecta of Tex, The Outsiders, and Rumble Fish (the later two would mark the end of Francis Ford Coppola as an important filmmaker). Of course in recent years Dillon can be found mugging his way through such dribble as Herbie Fully Loaded (oh, how lucky James Dean was to die young).Continue Reading

A good time was had by all. Ended up playing from 7:30 til 11 about. Some beers were drank and some laughs were had.
The 58th annual ( oldest in the US ) was a great time. The audiences were attentive and responsive. One guy I saw in the back under the trees responded himself right out of his chair onto the ground he was laughing so hard. Hopefully that was with me and not at me. I sold a few CD's and gave a few away. Also I found out I am getting a little airplay one WSLR in Sarasota. The 6 inches of rain we got barely dampened our spirits-- well mine anyway

The Encino shooting that left a jeweler Amir Wolf in critical condition in front of kids may be an act of retaliation. Wolf waws shot in the chest Wednesday as he exited his Range Rover on Rupert Avenue in Encino, an upscale neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.
Investigators believe the ambush may be connected to another crime the shooter previously committed and that Wolf may have witnessed. The Wolf family thinks that the shooter may be a relative who allegedly committed a crime in Beverly Hills, and was angry at Wolf for implicating him. Wolf has undergone multiple surgeries and remains in critical but stable condition.

Aristata Restaurant forms part of the Protea Hotel in Technopark Stellenbosch. Expect a full buffet breakfast menu as well as menus for lunch and dinner.
Much can be said of the restaurant's scenic location. It commands splendid views of the picturesque surroundings and has an outdoor deck for sipping sundowners and taking early evening meals. A range of snacks and light meals are also served throughout the day.
For those that require some formality, the indoor dining area calls for a smarter dress code in its subtle, yet sophisticated setting. With a menu that offers traditional South African fare, guests can enjoy the overall experience of Aristata. Diners may round off their meal with the best of wine that is sourced locally.
The restaurant also makes for an ideal venue, be it for a wedding or a corporate function.
Do not be misled by the rustic ring to De Volkskombuis' name. There is nothing even remotely unpolished about this establishment. The restaurant has been around since 1977 and has earned its reputation as a place of fine dining.
The Cape Dutch house - that is the restaurant - is a perfect puzzle piece in historic Stellenbosch with its white washed walls and front garden. The restaurant also has its Voorkamer which serves as a private dining room for special occasions, conferences and private parties.
Guests will be thrilled to find that although the menu boasts a fresh interpretation of traditional South African cuisine, none of the authenticity of the old favourites like Boland Bobotie, Braised Oxtail and Malva Pudding is lost. Furthermore, the menu has wine suggestions with each dish – a treat for wine and food pairing enthusiasts.
Not only does De Volkskombuis promise a gastronomic experience of note, but also an impressive, if not, wildly indulgent, wine and beverage selection that could hold one's attention for hours. Choose from the best locally and internationally sourced wines of every blend, including sparkling wines and Champagne. A selection of cigars rounds off the restaurant's offerings.
De Volkskombuis is open daily for lunch and dinner.
At Maremoto diners can enjoy traditional South African and Cape dishes with Mediterranean and Asian influences.
The restaurant pays tribute to the age of mailship travel and represents the Nobel-prize winning poet, Pablo Neruda, who served as a consular official in various port cities. His collection of poems, Maremoto, was published in 1968.
Maremoto serves excellent cuisine in upmarket surroundings and the menu is extensive and well thought out. Starters include dishes like Plum Tomato Soup, the Panzanella Salad which is cubed Italian bread tossed with red onion, plum tomatoes, olive oil and fresh basil, an the Dragon Wings, perfectly oven roasted red hot chilli chicken wings served with a coriander yogurt.
Mains offers traditional fare like lamb curry, cottage pie and beef fillet, but more exciting options can be enjoyed like the pork and pear casserole - pork fillet sautéed with pears in a creamy frangelico sauce
served on a bed of mash.
Maremoto offers a fine dining experience to remember.

Washington County Drug Task Force officers arrested three Hurricane residents following a vehicle pursuit involving Hurricane City Police Thursday night.
In a separate incident, task force members also arrested a St. George man on charges of distribution of methamphetamine.
St. George Police Capt. Kyle Whitehead said task force officers were conducting surveillance Thursday night prior to serving a search warrant at the Hurricane home of 49-year-old Stacey Jo Palmerson and 30-year-old Boyd P. Brooke at 6228 West 135 North. ...

Disregard for private property by snowmobile enthusiasts had North Lebanon Township supervisors debating the viability of a restrictive snowmobile ordinance.
The township police department has received about 20 complaints this winter of snowmobile riders trespassing on homeowners' properties and causing minor damage.
Beverly Rittle of the 1550 block of Long Lane called the township police after four snowmobilers drove through her yard and over her driveway in late February, creating grooves in the driveway's macadam.
A patrolman did respond but couldn't find the snowmobile riders, she told the supervisors Monday evening.
Rittle said she has had to call police three times this winter after snowmobilers drive over her property, and even though the police look for the speedy culprits, they haven't been able to find them.
"Could we ban snowmobiling in the township or at least make them be licensed?" Rittle asked. "It's not fair. And, if they get hurt on our property, we'll probably be liable."
Chairman Ed Brensinger, who said he was a snowmobiler at one time, said snowmobiles are licensed; the owner pays a registration fee, and the vehicle has an identification number on the side.
Rittle wanted to know what could be done legally, and what charges could be brought against snowmobilers who drive over private property.
"It's potentially a nuisance problem or illegal trespass," responded solicitor Marc Hess. "But the police have to be able to catch them."
Referring to township police Chief Harold Easter, Hess said while he was certain the chief could charge the offenders, he doubted that the supervisors would pass an ordinance banning the sport.
Without first researching state law, Hess said he wouldn't have any particulars on pursuing ordinances regarding snowmobile use.
Supervisor Dick Miller asked about the viability of having the township request licensing for township residents' snowmobiles. But township manager Cheri Grumbine pointed out that solution would work only if the drivers were township residents, and snowmobilers from neighboring municipalities could be gliding over the township's fields and lawns.
Miller added that the person driving the snowmobile wouldn't necessarily be the person to whom the vehicle was registered.
Being clothed in heavy winter gear and a full-face helmet also makes it more difficult for the police to identify the drivers, Miller said.
Vice Chairman Bruce Sattazahn, also a former snowmobiler, said that many of the runs take place after sunset, making it even harder to find the drivers who are going over private property.
"I sympathize with you," Sattazahn told Rittle. ""I recently had several snowmobiles going over my property at 1:30 in the morning."
Sattazahn said the vehicles had damaged a portion of his yard where turf was visible.
"I'm as frustrated as you are," Sattazahn said. "But even if they had a number (on the vehicle), it would be impossible to see it.
Trying to register snowmobiles and then sending police out to catch the non-registered vehicles would be difficult, Hess said, especially since the police wouldn't be chasing them on police snowmobiles.
Brensinger said some residents set out obstacles so the snowmobilers won't drive on their property.
"I would caution you, if you do that, however, because you don't want to inflict harm on them," Brensinger said, explaining that the obstacles should be able to be seen by the people driving the snowmobiles. "You wouldn't want them to get hurt, and also, even though they're on your property, you might still be liable. Maybe something like a plastic orange fence would send a message to the snowmobilers."
Sattazahn asked if a property owner would need to have their property posted with no trespassing signs before anyone could be charged with trespassing.
In response to a question about snowmobiles on the roadways, Easter said in certain situations snowmobiles may be driven on a road and may cross roadways.
Long-time resident Martin Barondick asked Rittle how long she has been living in the township.
"You should have been here in the '60s and '70s, when the snowmobile craze really hit," said Barondick, after Rittle stated she moved there in 1998. "There were hundreds of them."
In the 1970s, the township police department had considered adding a snowmobile to their vehicles, he said.
"But you're not going to stop them, because you're not going to catch them," Barondick said.
"The issue is to catch them," Easter said.

Hey guys new to this and don't have the best knowledge on cars but when I first got my car in the summer I put my own head unit in and took the heater out by accident I wasn't that bothered about it because it was so hot and I wasn't driving it. However it's freezing and I still haven't put them back in so I was wondering if there was any guides out there anybody knows of Ivan upload photos of what I've took out if need be.

Do you mean that you didn't replace the control dials?

The one with the small green plug on one end and loop on the other from the temperature (centre) dial to the connector at the right underside of the dash as per this bit of a removal video I located on Youtube-
The cable with the large green head is the vent control cable, you should find a D shaped socket that the black end plugs into in the dash, it may be best to remove the radio to locate this as it tends to be buried back in the dark recesses.
Posted 31 January 2014 - 07:45 AM
This guide may help you work out where to route the flap cable, looks like it goes up behind the radio somewhere from the right hand corner.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated. If I don't have any luck I'll probably just take it to the garage

An introduction.
Over a year ago now, I decided to ask all of the artists involved in The Places Series if they would be interested in a new remix project. The brief to them was simple, take an existing Places Series track and re-imagine it, make it your own, find your strangely isolated place.
What started as a small idea has grown into an amazing selection of music and hopefully the fulfilment of a lifelong dream for many of us - we're now looking to press the record to vinyl, accompanied by a poster, tshirt and a hand-made custom CDr.
Today, this project takes a giant-leap towards becoming a reality as we launch this indiegogo campaign to help fund the vinyl press. We are trying to raise $5500 to cover the costs of producing the vinyl and in return, anybody who contributes has the chance to get a copy. It will be a double transparent vinyl, mastered by the legendary Rafael Anton Irisarri (Ghostly/The Sight Below) and just 250 will be pressed (by the brilliant Furnace MFG)
I've also been lucky enough to have Kevin Bryce create some amazing double CDr cases to be a part of the release. It's taken Kevin quite a bit of effort to make these, and only ten will be produced so be quick if you want one!
Please check the GALLERY tab for pictures of the vinyl, tshirt and CDr
The Uncharted Places.
Below is the amazing music included in the package. LISTEN ON SOUNDCLOUD HERE.
- Kit - Girl Walking On the Beach Wearing A Skirt (Markus Guentner remix)
- Yeter - Dart 1 (Parks Remix)
- Norge - 165 minutes with you (Markus Guentner remix)
- Public Transport - Rosenheim (dalot remix)
- Echaskech - 626 (Kevin Bryce remix)
- Markus Guentner - Saint (Sonae remix)
- Sonae - Urban Cruising (Audioglider remix)
- Markus Guentner - Talking Clouds (Sage Taylor remix)
- Textural Being - Vantage Points (Public Transport remix)
- Markus Guentner - Dockside (enh Remix)
- Levi Patel - Dissociation (Odd Shapes remix)
- Odd Shapes - Desert Plant (Echaskech remix)
- Herbstlaub - Oostmalle Airport (A.P Variations)
- Stray Theories - Frozen Skies (Herbstlaub remix)
- Markus Guentner - Dockside (Textural Being reshape)
- Kit - Three Dotted Monk (Norge Remix)
- Parks - Black Day, Silver Sea (Stray Theories remix)
- Audioglider - Heathaze Days (Kit remix)
Help me choose the vinyl tracklist.
18 tracks aren't going to fit on a double vinyl. Every artist has worked hard to get this far, so to be fair we want you to decide which tracks make it on to the vinyl edition. Ideally we end up with 8 on the vinyl, but ALL tracks will be included in the HQ downloads and on the double CDr.
Anybody can vote and i'd love for everyone to get involved. VOTE HERE.
Why ASIP needs your support:
ASIP has been a non-profit music community, releasing exclusive music and mixes for free for nearly five years. Countless hours, a lot of my own money, and some generous donations from listeners have been invested in that time and I've loved every minute of it.
The support and community which has grown out of it has been amazingly gratifying, however pressing a vinyl for the first time is a risky business.
Indiegogo is a way for us to minimise the pitfalls of a first press and give those who respect and enjoy the music something to cherish and keep forever - ASIP's very first physical release.
Regardless of how much is made, everything will be invested back into ASIP and hopefully, release #2.
What we need to make it happen:
We have the music but we want to bring it to you in the very best format. Basically we need the money to master, and press a high quality double transparent vinyl record that's worth your time and effort to support, listen and cherish as part of your collection.
- Mastering for over 2 hours of music by the legendary Rafael Anton Irisaari
- Double transparent vinyl press & packaging
- A3 Poster
- Uncharted tshirt
- The boring stuff like tax, indiegogo fees, postage/shipping.
This amounts to around $5,500. If we happen to surpass this target (and we will if all of the vinyl sells), funds will be invested into the next ASIP project.
What's on offer if you help contribute:
Any contribution is a big help in making this dream come true, but for any type of contribution you make, i've tried to create a good return for your generosity and keep prices as low as possible.
$5 will get you a big thank-you on the vinyl artwork
$15 will get you a thank-you and a HQ download of the full Uncharted compilation - 18 tracks, over two-hours of music.
$20 will get you the above, as well as an exclusive surprise MP3 package prepared by the artists involved, featuring new (even some unreleased) music.
$40 will get you all of the above, and the limited edition double transparent vinyl including an A3 poster.
$60 will get you all of the above, the vinyl plus a rather snazzy Uncharted artwork tshirt.
$100 will get you the vinyl, poster, downloads, plus a custom hand-made double CDr.
Or if vinyl isn't your thing, for $60 you can get the custom CDr on it's own, a thank you, HQ downloads and the surprise MP3 package. The CDr + case is just one of ten available - not even I will be getting one!
The postage.
Postage to the USA is included in the prices you see. However, International postage from the USA has rocketed in price, so I apologise for the high-postage rates outside of the USA. I've done my best to keep this to a minimum and actually stand to lose money on postage alone. If you have to pay the extra postage, then I promise to buy you a beer or two should we ever meet in person.
Thank you.
Thank you for reading and an even bigger thank you should you decide to contribute.
I also wanted to take this moment to say a big thanks to those who have helped me get this far. Mike Cadoo at n5MD; a constant help, source of knowledge and overall kind heart in this process. To Nick Brzstowski for the amazing design work on the release. To Rafael Anton Irisarri for his advice and help with mastering. To Reefer, the silent wordsmith and ambient-agony-aunt (AAA). And of course to all of the artists involved for being patient and believing in me. Let's hope we make it!
If you can't contribute, just by sharing this campaign, the teasers, the video or the music on Twitter or Facebook you will help spread the word and prick the ears of worldwide potential vinyl lovers, so thank you!
And lastly - it doesn't happen if we don't reach our target!
Unless we reach our target of $5500, there will be no vinyl edition. We need all of the funds in order for this to be succesfull, so please spread the word. If you contribute and we don't make it, your contributions will be refunded. Thank you!

HONESTLY FIX THIS GAMEBong_Fluid Jul 15, 2013 11:01 AM
I Reckon at least 10 times today i have been team killed 100 pts off swarms/k9/lodestars And that's because of your shi**y match making server's, i'm on 530 SPM in Hardcore Domination (ranked 60,000) so the match making puts me on the team with people with 100-200 SPM Complete garbage, people with that low SPM are troll's, noobs, or campers. and 90% of the time it is team killed on purpose. an average swarm gets around 10 kills, thats 10+ kills i lose per game/ 1 less scorestreak i have to my record/ and my SPM going down from Respawning, and streaks. I'm a Hardcore player, and will never consider playing core as my primary gamemode because i don't like it... Now onto the % Hardcore/ core HP, Now i'm sure 99.9% of Hardcore players will agree with me on this. WE PLAY HARDCORE SO PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE SHOT. How do i shoot someone 3 bullets in the head with a pdw at short ranged distance, there still alive and then they snipe me in the leg 1 bullet im dead? Then later in core someone gets a killcam on me 2 bullets to the head with AN-94? Really, don't label something as Hardcore when it's clearly not. If you shoot someone in the head they die. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME, 90% of players sit there head-glitching, how are you meant to kill a head-glitcher with a pdw when it takes 4 shots to the head to kill them Honestly i aint no 007. and then theres the "Kicks" -.- 2 Days ago i earned myself a VTOL warship, oh yeah sweet, pull er up kill an enemy and a team-mate right next to the enemy "You have been kicked from the server" REALLY TREYARCH? What you think people earn scorestreaks to kill there team mates with? Tarts.
Black ops 1 core is like Black ops 2 hardcore, black ops 2 core is on a whole new fked up level.
The Smg's were fine how they were on release date, nerfing **** every week just pisses people off, ive noticed the "Peacekeeper" With lower damage then the "pdw" seems to kill people alot easier then oh wait, you guys cant nerf something you need to sell.
Why is there no moderator's in any servers? Today my mate gets a VSAT nek minnut level 20 joins and flash's/concusion's our whole team, giving the other team free Qaud's/triples while we have a VSAT up, wtf like legit?
Well Treyarch you guys probably sit here thinking, "how can we fix this?" here il tell you how:. 1. Don't take away our streak when we get teamkilled -.- 2. Make hardcore "Hardcore" -.- 3. Make the "Friendly fire consiquence" Reflected onself? -.- 4. Scrap the whole game, bring back black ops 1 with good connection servers. *Bingo*.
Next time i get team killed/trolled for one of my streaks il snap the Black Ops 2 disc and cut David Vondahaar's chuwowa's neck with it, thanks.

On the long walk from her dead mother's chamber to her own - the walk where she took the main, populated corridors only - Permotio walked, as everything was normal. She did not try to hide her nudity; instead she made it obvious by stroking her opening and caressing her breasts. She noticed those fellows Metueres were watching her. When she had the chance to do so, Permotio turned to face one of them, and watched their faces as she forced two fingers into herself.
She bypassed her chamber and headed straight for the Main Hall. Here, she stood on the stage - she was still wearing nothing - and switched on the microphone. The sounds picked up by the microphone would be sent around the whole castle. She knew that Fidelis would not have had time to leave the castle. She spoke clearly, authority ebbing from her voice. "I, Queen Permotio of all Metueres, wish for every person in the castle at this immediate moment, to go to the Main Hall. This must be done in an orderly fashion, so I can see you in your ranks. Please hurry."
Permotio knew this message meant that even Fidelis had to go to the Main Hall. All of the lowest servants would search every room, making sure every person in the castle was gathered in the Main Hall. Permotio turned and slipped behind the curtain. She sifted through the costumes - Metueres often re-enacted plays, mainly Shakespeare - and chose one that was close to what she usually wore. She chose a tight black corset, and an unusual black PVC mini skirt. The skirt was not something she was accustomed to wearing, but she suited it as though it was tailor made for her. Once she got the all clear from the lowest of the lowest servants, she opened the curtain without help, picked up the microphone, and prayed that everything went to plan. She stepped out, onto the stage, where twenty thousand eager eyes were watching.
"Greetings, Metueres." Permotio searched the crowds for Fidelis; he was standing unhappily at the back with the lowest servants. Her audience stood up, bowed, then sat down; this was the formality. "There is bad news, and good news. The bad news: the Highest Queen is dead. The good news: I am the new Highest Queen and I am going to put on a show you will all enjoy." Permotio used her deeper voice, acting as the perfect seductress. "Firstly, I wish no more invasive surgery, and this also bans autopsies, unless the need for one is life saving. Secondly, I wish that all in line to the throne are now to be kept unclothed at all times, starting midnight. Seeing as this includes me, I guess I had better remove the clothes before anyone else." Permotio bent down so the microphone could rest on the floor of the stage, but at the same time, she allowed all of the audience to see her cleavage. She looked up, and after seeing the looks on the faces of her audience, she kept the microphone.
She began to untie the corset slowly, with the microphone still in one hand. She spoke into the microphone - she tore it out from under her skirt, flashing her inner thighs to the front row - saying "I seem to be having a problem with the knot. Can someone help me out?" Permotio rubbed the microphone from her ankle up until it was hidden in her skirt. Her eyes searched the audience for someone she trusted. "Adrogantia, my faithful doctor, please send the woman next to you up here. Maybe a lady's touch can help." On the word "touch" Permotio slipped her hand up her skirt, and her first finger inside her. She knew that the front row could see what she had done clearly. If there was any doubt, it soon faded when the skirt fell off, and she had to shake it from her arm, as the doctor's wife walked through the rows up to the stage.
Once the doctor's wife had walked onto the stage, Permotio slipped the microphone between her thighs, but not inside her; it was obviously too wide to fit inside her, or she would have. She whispered in the doctor's wife's ear, "I'm bisexual; I get pleasure out of men and women. I want you to do this like you're my lover. If not, you will be my first official kill." Permotio turned to face the eagerly waiting audience. The "official" suggested what had happened; the Highest Queen - Permotio - had killed before, and would be willing to do it again.
The doctor's wife - who was known as Cosolator - stroked the corset before tearing it off. Permotio gasped with pleasure, and it was not an act. She motioned for Cosolator to sit back down. Permotio stood nude for all to see. She looked into the eyes of each person in the audience; every man and half of the women were waiting for more, wishing to be on stage with her, or in her bedroom with her. To make the show last longer, and to annoy Fidelis more than what he was already, Permotio called everyone in the front row onto the stage with her. No one refused.
One by one, Permotio passionately kissed them, spending the same amount of time on each person. She treated the men and women in the same way, exploring each new mouth with her tongue. The tongue was for the pleasure of the person on stage. For the pleasure of both the audience and the person on stage, she touched herself then the person she was kissing. She touched herself and the other person with a gentle force, enough to let them know she was definitely there, but not enough for them to have the moment of release that she so badly needed. Once she had finished with the first row, she called for the last ten rows to come forward, including those who were standing.
Permotio continued doing her routine with each one, until she reached those who were standing. Before the first one came too close, she spoke into the microphone. "For these...delightful people...there will be an extra...special...treat." In each pause, Permotio forced another finger deep inside her. She quickly drew each one out of her as she said her next line. "For these have been standing up, watching this unrehearsed act. These people have not had the chance to sit down, but for one lucky person cuing up to taste my mouth, they will have the chance to lay down with me. You will all be able to watch. This..." Permotio paused to look up and down the cue, even though she had already made her choice. For every pause she made in the next part of her speech, she bent a little lower, until she was grinding her hips into the stage. "This...wonderful...pleasure...will...be...given to...oh yes...the...holy...yes...mmm...him." Permotio pointed to Fidelis as she ground her hips continuously into the stage. She found this somewhat enjoying in its own right. Permotio stood up, holding the microphone close to her mouth, but at the same time, she stroked her inner thigh.
"For all of them, however," she continued, "I will taste them, but I do not mean their mouth. For these people will have their moment of release, on stage, for you all to watch with joy," Permotio caressed her left breast. "Pleasure," She ran a finger from her neck, down to her lowest opening, "And hopefully, with release." And with that last word, she fell face down onto the stage, to grind her hips into the stage. She threw her head back and faked the beginnings of an orgasm. Whilst still laying on the stage, she motioned for the first person to come up. The first person was a woman, heavily pregnant. She lowered her skirt to her ankles and let her underwear fall. It was plain white; she did not expect every Metuere to see them. Permotio bit, sucked, and linked as hard and as fast as she could, until the woman had her moment of complete release. She crawled off the stage on her hands and knees, still writhing from the orgasm. The next person to be tasted by Permotio was a man. He got the same treatment; he was bitten, sucked, and licked until the moment of release. Permotio spent, again, the same amount of time on each person; she even managed to bring the heterosexual women to a climax. Finally, it was Fidelis' turn.
Permotio turned to face the audience, with red and white liquids dripping from her mouth; she did not bother to wipe them away. "As you can all tell, I am bleeding; it is my menstrual cycle and nothing else. This means, that he may taste me, while I taste him, and then we will kiss. Then, and only then, we will ask for your opinion. The position with the greatest number of votes will be done by us, for you all to watch." Permotio turned to face Fidelis; he was already stripped, so he was wearing nothing. Permotio dropped the microphone to the stage after switching it off. "Do as you have never done to me before. I want to be rainbow kissed by you."
Once they had finished tasting each other, they both sat up and explored each other's mouth with their tongue. Permotio pulled away first, breathless. She searched the stage for the microphone, still with red and white liquids around her mouth. Fidelis also had a red liquid from his mouth; neither bothered to wipe it off. Permotio switched the microphone on once she had found it. She turned to the audience, still laying next to Fidelis on the stage. "Now we have done that part of the bargain, I want you all to vote. You have as many votes as you have limbs. Vote on the one you want to see." Permotio and Fidelis took it in turns to state a position that they were familiar with. After quite a long time, the position with the highest vote was written down and given to the couple. Permotio read it silently, as did Fidelis. Neither showed the audience what the paper said, thus they did not know how the others had voted.
Fidelis assisted Permotio onto her hands and knees, facing the audience. Permotio strapped the microphone around her neck; if she were lying on her back it would have been between her breasts. Fidelis was behind her, hard and ready. Since he had not had his moment of release, he would now have it on stage in front of everyone in the Metuere castle, for his or her pleasure, and for the new Highest Queen's pleasure as well. Fidelis began gentle, but he picked up a faster pace that would make Permotio scream for more. Fidelis crashed into Permotio so hard, she bled more. Permotio let the orgasm take over her, and at that moment, the audience drowned in her vision. She could see nothing. She could only taste the liquids around and inside her mouth. She could feel Fidelis crashing through her, as though he would come out the other side. She could feel her heart beat against her chest; it was threatening to burst out into the audience. She could hear her breathing, the gushing of her blood in her ears, the pounding of flesh against flesh inside her.

Respond to Review of OR Smoothie and Cafe
by gr8vegan
Review: There's only two tables with a few chairs so don't go here for the first time expecting a restaurant! Its more of a smoothie place that makes a mean vegan burger! They use mostly organic ingredients in all their items. They have a few shelves of vitamins and health information. Birkham Yoga is a few stores down in the strip mall so it gets most of it's business from there. I have to warn that I have a love hate relationship with this place. If you get a bad vibe, just go back when Nick is working. Also, I've had some bad reactions with a few food items other than the burger and wraps, so choose wisely and if you don't please report :) OR could be so much more if the space were bigger and the staff smiled a little bit more! The fake chicken is now clearly labeled NOT VEGAN. DOH!

John of Ephesus
Syriac historian (ca. 505 - ca. 585)
John of Ephesus, also known as JOHN OF ASIA, he earliest, and a very famous, Syriac historian. He was born at Amida (Diarbekir, on the upper Tigris) about 505; d. about 585. In 529 he was ordained deacon in St. John's monastery of the same city, but on account of his monophysitic doctrine was soon obliged to take refuge in Palestine, where we find him in 534; thence he came to Constantinople, driven from Palestine by the great pestilence of 534-7. In the capital he found a friend in Jacob Baradaeus, the organizer of the Jacobite Church; a protector in Justinian; and a life-long collaborator in a certain Deuterius. The emperor placed him at the head of the Monophysite community of Constantinople, and soon entrusted him with the mission of converting the heathens of Asia proper and the neighboring provinces. Eventually John was consecrated (by Jacob Baradaeus), Bishop of Ephesus, the heart of the Monophysite territory, but his official residence, it seems, was always Constantinople. In 546 he helped Justinian to search out and quash the secret practice of idolatry in the capital and its surroundings. Hence his beloved titles of "Teacher of the Heathens", and "Idol-breaker". Soon after Justinian's death (565), John's fortunes began to decline. When the persecution broke out in 571 he was one of its very first victims, and had to suffer imprisonment, banishment, and all sorts of vexations at the hands of the orthodox patriarchs. He soon resigned, in favor of Deuterius, his position as head of the communities he had converted from heathenism, and consecrated Deuterius Bishop of Caria. We do not know where nor exactly when he died; it must have been shortly after 585, for his history comes to an end with that year, and he was then about eighty years of age.
His principal work was an "Ecclesiastical History", from Julius Caesar to A.D. 585. It was divided into three parts of six books each. The first part has entirely perished; of the second part we have copious excerpts in two manuscripts in the British Museum, and possibly the whole of it in the third part of the "Chronicle" of Denys of Tell-Mahre. These excerpts have been edited by Land (Anecdota Syriaca; Leyden, 1868, II, 289-329, 385-390), and translated into Latin by von Douwen and Land (Joannis Episcopi Ephesi, Syri Monopphysitae Commentarii de Beatis Orientalibus et Historiae Ecclesiasticae fragmenta, Amsterdam, 1889). The third part, which opens with the beginning of the persecution under Justin II (571), has come down to us, though not without some important gaps. There is an edition of it by Cureton (The Third Part of the Ecclesiastical History of John, Bishop of Ephesus, Oxford, 1853), also two translations, one English by Payne Smith (1860), and another in German by Schonfelder (1862). John of Ephesus is also the author of the "Biographies of the Eastern Saints", written at different times and gathered into a "cor-pus" about 569. They were published by Land (op. et loc. cit., pp. 2-288), and done into Latin by von Douwen and Land (ibid.). Both works are of the greatest importance for the history of the writer's times. He evidently strove to be impartial, for which he is very much to be commended, considering the part he played in the events he related; he is also accurate and full of details. The troubled times in which he wrote the third part of the "History" and his unsettled condition during that period of his life easily explain the disorder and repetitions to be found in the last six books. They account also for the style, which is rude, entangled, and abounds with Greek words and phrases; besides, we must not overlook the fact that the writer spent most of his life outside the zone of spoken Syriac.

The Algoma City Council will hear proposed Ordinance 769 tonight at its monthly meeting for the first time. City Administrator Tom Reynolds says the ordinance looks to charge property owners $5 to complete forms from law firms and title companies regarding delinquent property and utility payments when they're looking to clear a title.
The second half of the ordinance would allow the city to charge property owners who don't comply with the existing city ordinances regarding high grass and sidewalk cleaning after snowfalls.
Reynolds says it's pretty rare that things go that far, but when they do it's a burden on the taxpayers. After tonight's first reading, the Algoma City Council will vote on Ordinance 769 at its next meeting.

Big Brother fans have watched the show, and this summer will be able to experience the house. Guests will make their way down to the Big Brother compound to see firsthand the very places their favourite housemates gathered for challenges, gossiped with their frenemies, and 'nom-nom'd' in the Diary Room Chair.

LAS VEGAS – Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada has launched a new, user-friendly website for the Civil Law Self-Help Center.
The new website can be accessed at www.civillawselfhelpcenter.org.
In partnership with the Clark County Justice Courts and the Eighth Judicial District Court, Legal Aid Center runs the Self-Help Center located on the first floor of the Regional Justice Center.
More than 200,000 people have used the Self-Help Center since its opening in December 2009. Many of the forms and resources on the website are also available at the Self-Help Center where staff offers forms and information to assist unrepresented litigants who are going through the maze of the legal process alone.
"We are pleased to launch this virtual legal resource center to assist community members struggling with legal problems," said Barbara Buckley, executive director of Legal Aid Center. "The website is already receiving over 5,000 visitors a month and helps us achieve our goal of giving everyone a fair chance at having their day in court."

Michigan's strong finish could help land Southfield defensive end Malik McDowell -- and it looks more likely after the momentum-changing victory over Northwestern. / Photo by Tim Sullivan / thewolverine.com
It has been a rough November for Michigan football coach Brady Hoke and his assistants. The month began with consecutive losses to Michigan State and Nebraska in both of which Michigan finished with negative rushing yardage. To add insult to injury on the recruiting trail, the nations top prospect, Woodbridge (Va.) defensive end DaShawn Hand, spurned the Wolverines for Alabama Friday.
The negative vibes among the Michigan fan base began to build. The losses on the field seemed, in many cases, to lead to the Wolverines loss of Hand but thats not the case. Even if Michigan had entered his decision 9-0 on the season, rather than 6-3, it stands to reason that Hands choice would have been for the Crimson Tide.
Michigan had just about everything he was looking for on the football side of things. He repeatedly mentioned that Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison were among his favorite coaches of any school, and that he believed the 2014 class would be the one to restore the U-M football program to prominence. The academic decision picking the opportunity to study engineering in Tuscaloosa over a sport management program in Ann Arbor made the difference in the end.
Hand, however, is a unique case. Rarely is the top recruit in the nation concerned with academics more than football, much less any other recruits down the rest of the list. For the average football recruit in the 2014 class and beyond, the victory over Northwestern was big to restore U-Ms momentum as a program.
While any individual win or loss isnt going to have a huge impact on a particular recruit, Michigan gave itself the chance to finish with a bang. If the program builds on that in the final two weeks, the future of recruiting will benefit.
The 2014 class might not see much effect. The class is nearly full, and with Hand off the board, the only elite recruit who still seems to be seriously considering the Maize and Blue is local product Malik McDowell, of Southfield High School. Finishing strong will help with McDowell, but the remaining spots on the board may be filled with recruits who consider Michigan the top option regardless of finish.
The 2015 class is where the benefits will be felt. Even that class has six pledges already, but Michigan finishing strong should help those players remain interested in Michigan. Securing some of them would continue the programs positive trajectory.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Greg Biffle knows he won't be perfect all season.
He'll take what he can get right now.
The Sprint Cup points leader continued his strong start to the season Friday by winning the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"I know this isn't going to last all season, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it right now," Biffle said.
He turned a lap of 125.215 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford to take the top qualifying spot for Sunday's race. Biffle has opened the season with three third-place finishes, and has not qualified lower than ninth.
"I gotta pinch myself. I think I'm dreaming," he said. "I'm having a great time, the time of my life."
It's the 10th pole of Biffle's career, but his first at Bristol. He's credited his strong start to the season to an offseason overhaul to his No. 16 team. Biffle has a new crew chief in Matt Puccia, and every crew member was changed.
"They are a great group of guys, I'm happy to have them," Biffle said. "Just plain and simply Matt Puccia is the reason why we're running and competing and finishing where we are. This team needed leadership and he was willing to step up and take the task on and he's done a fantastic job so far."
AJ Allmendinger qualified second in a Penske Racing Dodge. It's his first top-10 starting position of 2012, but third in 10 previous Sprint Cup races at Bristol.
Ryan Newman qualified third in a Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing.
Jeff Gordon qualified fourth in a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Brad Keselowski was fifth to put both Penske cars in the top five. Regan Smith was sixth, followed by Aric Almirola, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne.
Timmy Hill was the only driver who failed to qualify. Robby Gordon withdrew because of mechanical problems.
Brian Vickers will make his first start of the season, driving the No. 55 Toyota in place of Mark Martin for Michael Waltrip Racing. He has a six-race deal to drive the races Martin does not.
Vickers will start 25th, and said Bristol is not the ideal track for a season debut.
"This would not be my pick," he said.

October, Disaster Preparedness Month, includes earthquake drill
October 4, 2012
By Staff
NEW — 10 a.m. Oct. 4, 2012
October is Disaster Preparedness Month in Washington.

Admiral Fallow
URL: http://theduchessyork.co.uk/whats-on/detail/883
The toast of 2011's South By Southwest festival (tipped in advance by NPR's influential All Songs Considered; ranked as a highlight by US indie bible Paste magazine), Scotland's Admiral Fallow continue their seemingly unstoppable mission to capture hearts and minds. They steal the former with beautiful melodies, sumptuous orchestration and bittersweet boy/girl vocals, while unforgettably colonising the latter thanks to lead singer/guitarist Louis Abbott's exquisitely observed, hauntingly candid lyrics.
Completed by fellow vocalist Sarah Hayes (also flute, piano), Kevin Brolly (clarinet, keyboards, backing vocals), Joe Rattray (bass, double bass, backing vocals) and Philip Hague (drums, vibraphone, backing vocals), Admiral Fallow's richly distinctive mesh of acoustic and electric textures with multilayered harmonies has gained a fast-expanding fanbase either side of the Pond, prominently including Guillemots' Fyfe Dangerfield, Elbow's Guy Garvey, Radio 1's Huw Stephens and BBC2's 'Whispering' Bob Harris.
Having met while studying at university in Glasgow, Admiral Fallow formed in 2007 (as the Brother Louis Collective: the name-change came in early 2010), through a shared love of such left-field luminaries as Tom Waits, Low, Midlake, Elbow, King Creosote and Bruce Springsteen – all filtered through Abbott's unflinchingly personal, resolutely Scottish sensibility. He says of debut album Boots Met My Face, released worldwide in 2011, that it "documents the first chapter of my life, be it memories from school or kicking a ball about with my childhood chums," he continues: "All of the songs are taken from real life events. There's no fiction. I'm not into making up stories or characters for the sake of trying to stir emotions. They are songs about friends and family as well as a fair bit of self-evaluation."
Among the band's early successes were opening for the aforementioned Guillemots, winning a coveted Your Sound award at legendary Glasgow venue King Tuts, and extensive airplay for debut single 'These Barren Years', on Euphonios Records. After headlining the T Break Stage at T in the Park, they were crowned as Under the Radar act of 2009 by the Scotsman newspaper, having meanwhile recorded Boots Met My Face at Glasgow's Chem 19 studio, with award-winning producer Paul Savage (Delgados, Franz Ferdinand, Mogwai) at the controls. Guests on the album included Frightened Rabbit's Gordon Skene and Kettle of Kites' Tom Stearn, plus a string trio and a five-piece horn section. Despite an initially low-key Scottish release in March 2010, it was picked up as Album of the Week by the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, while the live buzz continued to build via festival dates at the Fence Collective's Home Game, RockNess, the Insider and a return visit to T in the Park, plus further radio and TV exposure.
As well as support slots with the Futureheads, Paolo Nutini, King Creosote, the Felice Brothers and Frightened Rabbit, highlights among their own headline gigs included a triumphant London show in September, of which editor Paul Kramer wrote in The Hit Sheet: "The award for the best of the new acts we have seen perform recently goes to Admiral Fallow. Their excellent set at the Lexington had publishers and A&R out in force. We expect them to be huge. Led by the engaging and captivating future star that is frontman Louis Abbott, they will soon have the world at their feet."
After more UK touring in early 2011, March saw Admiral Fallow's maiden voyage Stateside, which took in no less than seven stellar performances at South by Southwest, as well as New York and Boston showcases. Later that month, the UK-wide release of Boots Met My Face (followed by its worldwide launch in June) garnered a fresh round of glowing reviews,ahead of the band's busiest summer yet, with appearances at The Great Escape, Glastonbury, Latitude, Cambridge Folk Festival, Belladrum, Green Man, End of the Road, Loopallu, Sligo Live and Crossing Border in Holland, 19 November The band are also headlining 3 Scottish Festivals - Reloaded in Stirling 30 September, Aberfeldy Festival, curated by Ian Rankin, on 05 November and at the Glasgow ABC 1 for Celtic Connections on 27 January 2012.
As the band continue to attract admiring comparisons to Arcade Fire and Frightened Rabbit, while forging a sound that brims with originality, now is the time to catch them - before they're huge.
'Devastatingly downtrodden and wonderfully uplifting. . . surprising and enthralling. . . finely crafted material played superbly well.' (Mike Diver, BBC Album Reviews Editor)
'Anthemic yet understated. Big and bold, but avoiding theatrical cheese. Every note serves a purpose and has its place, nothing is wasted and nothing is missed.' (Music-News.com)
'The perfect musical storm: depth, strength of feeling and technical skill in one sublime package.' (Stereokill.net)
'A veritable masterclass in dark-hued yet uplifting, catchily literate roots-pop.' (The Herald)
'So good, so dark, so beautiful' (Daniel P. Carter, BBC Radio 1)

Since we last spoke to Kurt Christensen, he has continued to update his photo documentation of the mess Hurricane Sandy left in his Long Island town of Lindenhurst. It's not all bad though, this photo set contains images of people coming together to help others, which even in the worst of times is always a nice thing to see. Speaking of which, Patch has a list of ways people can volunteer in Babylon Village, and a list for Long Island in general.

Today restored my faith in humanity. From the massive response to the food and clothing drive at the firehouse, to the random people driving around handing out hot coffee, to the local businesses and Girl Scouts handing out meals on Wellwood, to the really cool group of people I met who drove down from Huntington with a grill and a load of burgers to hand out free food down on Shore Rd. This tragedy has really brought out the best in people.And his photos are reaching far and wide:
After the first day these photos were up, I received a message from an Army CPT in Afghanistan who didn't know what happened to her family. I was able to visit them, and shoot a quick video of them, so they could let her know that they were all ok.Check out the rest of this new set, below...
I also received a message from a woman who didn't know the fate of her family home, so I went and checked it out for her.
