Two studies commissioned by philanthropist Roxanne Quimby's foundation suggest that a national park in northern Maine could boost tourism, jobs and personal income in the region. Specifically, the studies find that similar communities with national parks and recreation areas outpace the national average for economic development.
The studies by Headwaters Economics make no specific projections for park visitors or economic growth but they do suggest that a Maine Woods National Park and/or a national park and recreation area could produce more than 1,000 jobs over time if it's well-planned and if it encompasses about 150-thousand acres. Ben Alexander, the associate director of the Montana-based firm that conducted the research, said the job numbers are based on the experience of 16 other peer communities with national parks and recreation areas around the country where 1,000 jobs is the average number created. And he said that's just one of the benefits.
"From an economic performance standpoint all of those regions that had parks or had parks and recreation areas closely associated or nearby grew more quickly, created more jobs and personal income and attracted more people than the growth rates in Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties or than the United States as a whole over the last 40 years," said Alexander.
He said not only do the park communities fare better than average but their economies are more diversified and can support a variety of year-round activities. The findings also suggest that there would be little downside for the forest products industry. Dr. Charles Colgan, professor of public policy and management at the Muskie School of Public Service said the studies are well executed and show why the park idea is worthy of more thought.
"I'm certainly a supporter of looking at this in more detail," said Colgan. "I think that there are an awful lot of questions about how it could be done and time tables and so on. I think it could be done badly and not be a very good idea and I think it can be done well and would be a good idea."
Colgan said to be done well a national park must have a solid economy grounded in recreational amenities such as hotels and restaurants. It has to offer diverse recreational opportunities which the Katahdin region already does. And Colgan said, the third requirement for success is careful planning and development of the infrastructure needed to support the rest. But longtime park opponent Bob Meyers of the Maine Snowmobile Association isn't ready to change his mind just yet.
"All of these reports we take with a grain of salt," said Myers. "I mean clearly, they're looking for people to go out and do research and this paints a very rosy picture of what's going to happen when there's a national park and I don't know, I just don't think people are buying that."
Meyers said the studies don't point out the types of activities that are prohibited in a national park, activities like hunting and snowmobiling and logging, for example. Nor, he said, do they illustrate the way a national park can change the character of a remote place like the Maine Woods with the construction of paved roads, something that could discourage some outdoor enthusiasts. Philanthropist Roxanne Quimby and her foundation known as Elliotsville Plantation are considering donating land for the creation of a national park. Lucas St. Clair, the president of the group's board is Quimby's son. He said a recreation area could also be part of the deal because it offers activities that a national park doesn't.
"And so having a combination of national park and recreation allows the best of both worlds," St. Clair said. "We get the equity of the brand that draws people from all around the world and we get traditional use and access protected into perpetuity."
St. Clair said there is no specific plan to create a national park and/or recreation area and the assumptions in the studies do not represent any official statement of position. Still, St. Clair said his organization does plan to increase access to its land in the near future for snowmobiling and even hunting which has previously been restricted.

- "Once you sit in this car, you won't want to drive anything else. Great in the snow. Not really, you'll probably die if you take this overpowered beast anywhere near moisture. Luckily, you live in a desert."
- ―Legendarymotorsport.net description, 9F Coupe.
The Obey 9F is a two-door sports car in Grand Theft Auto V, offered in coupé and roadster form (the latter named the 9F Cabrio).
This supercar's design is similar to the Audi R8 Coupé for the coupé form and Audi R8 Spyder for the roadster form. It features a sleek aerodynamic body typical to supercars.
The front end of this car is dominated by the appearance of the aggressive front face, which is made up of four different air intakes, two in the central area and then one on either side. The main grille is located in the upper-central area of the bumper, its outer edges run parallel to the inner edge of the headlights and are trimmed with chrome. The Obey emblem is located just above the main central grille. The headlights are very curved and are in a two-step layout, with the inner step being less tall than the outer. This gives the headlights a look that strongly resemble those of the Lokus. The innermost edge of the headlights forms the basis for the bonnet/hood elevation lines which run to respective corners of the windscreen.
The sides of the car are fairly simple, the upper areas are made from smooth lines and beginning from the front wheel-arch there is an impression into the main area of the body which eventually forms the gap for the engine's air intake just before the rear wheel-arch. There is a smaller air intake located beneath the main one, on the lower edge of the body. Similar to the Audi R8 Spyder upon which the car is based, the 9F Cabrio features black CFRP inserts for its main side air intakes. For the roadster, the area above the engine is dominated by two main bulges behind the seats and then in between these there is an elevated area with slatted vents to allow more air to access the engine. Just behind the front wheel-arch there are also six vertical chrome strips. The car features five spoke alloy wheels similar to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
The rear end of this car also draws visible inspiration from the Noble M600. The rear facet of this car is completely sloped. There are two circular lamps which are used as the taillights. Beneath the tail lights there are large bumper grilles, to allow more air to reach the engine. The license plate is mounted in between these two grilles. Beneath the license plate there is an impressed area that is low in height and central to the rear bumper. The exhaust tips are located in line with the edges of the central section of the rear bumper, the car features twin-tipped chrome exhaust tips.
- "There's nothing wrong with the standard Obey 9F, but this is San Andreas. Spend the extra 5k and get the convertible version. You spend enough of your life in air conditioning already."
- ―Legendarymotorsport.net description, 9F Cabrio.
This supercar appears to have very high performance, in terms of top speed and acceleration. One notable aspect of the car's performance is that it has a soft suspension setup which can be visibly seen by the compression of the body into the ground when transitioning from a negative gradient to level ground. This car features large, cross-drilled brake rotors which are coupled to red six piston brake calipers, mounted at the rear of each wheel.

Mission appearances
- The 9F Cabrio, along with a Rapid GT Convertible, are the two cars Simeon Yetarian assigns Franklin Clinton and Lamar Davis to repossess in the mission Franklin and Lamar.
- Can be bought for $120,000 from Southernsanandreassuperautos.com.
- Commonly encountered in Rockford Hills and Vinewood Hills.
- Occasionally encountered parked on Hawick Avenue in Hawick.
- Found in the parking lot at the Vespucci Beach in Vespucci.
- The name 9F is an obvious play on the name "R8", consisting of one letter and one number.
- According to the description shown in the Legendarymotorsport.net, 9F could be a reference of 9 Farenheit degrees, as it describes the car to perform well on snow , to be later denied it wouldn't.
- A white 9F has been seen, with a license plate that has "SA Exempt" written across the top of it, meaning that there are government-owned 9Fs. This license plate can also be found at Los Santos Customs.
- The 9F features discreet CFRP extensions running along the bottom edge of the front bumper, sides and the rear bumper.
- The 9F appears on the box art of GTA V, in the bottom right corner, which is the coupé version.
- The 9F has two variants:
- A roadster - the 9F Cabrio.
- A coupé - the 9F.
- The 9F Cabrio sounds more like a R8 4.2, but the normal 9F sounds more like a R8 5.2.
- The 9F was owned by someone in the De Santa home in the beta, but was most likely Michael's and replaced by a Tailgater, which is also manufactured by Obey. It is also impossible that Amanda owned it, because her beta vehicle was a Sentinel XS, confirmed in the Game Informer Demo Sentinel, it is possible it was Tracey's but unlikely as an Issi is a different class of 3-door hatchback.
- This is the shortest-named vehicle in the whole Grand Theft Auto series.
- The default radio station of the 9F and 9F Cabrio is:
- GTA V: Radio Los Santos.
- The name maybe a reference to the german tuner 9ff.
- When modified, it correctly resembles the Audi R8 GT.
- The beta 9F had the Obey badge on the hood instead of the grille.
- The 9F Cabrio has a similar engine sound as the Adder.
- When the player enters the car, the dashboard lights up.

While not a "major" brand, Magnasonic is a fairly recognizable name in electronics, selling DVD players, audio systems, and accessories through some well-known national retail chains. Having brand labeling on a covert video recorder makes it less conspicuous and therefore less likely to be subjected to close examination. Not that being picked up and turned around would be a problem for this particular alarm clock hidden camera. All the camera controls and cable hookups are concealed beneath a cover plate that requires a hex-key to remove.
Overall, this camera works well, takes good video and has the basic features, like motion activation, that someone might look for in a covert surveillance product. What makes it stand out is exactly how covert it is, as well as its simplicity. The menu system is simple and intuitive, great for someone without a lot of familiarity with video recording systems.

The first record of a tropical cyclone in the Central North Pacific was at 13N 148W in December of 1832 from the log of a vessel of the German Merchant Marine (Visher 1925). From the point of first record it was tracked west northwestward to a point 350 miles south of South Point on the Big Island, thence to just south of Johnston Island on a path very similar to that followed by hurricane CELESTE in August 1972, 140 years later. See Appendix A (Chart Series).
On September 23, 1843 German shipping logged a storm at 139W which was later charted at 17N 147W on a heading which, if unaltered, would have taken it directly onto the southeast coast of the Big Island. However, no further records are available and whether or not it impacted or came close to Hawaii is unknown at this time. W.C. Redfield (1856) in a documented communication to Commodore Perry named the storm "The Cyclone of the Lark" which indicates it must have been a memorable one.
After the 1843 occurrence, Visher was not able to document another Central North Pacific tropical cyclone until November 21, 1858 when Deutsche Seewarte, Segelhandbuch fur den Stillen Ozean recorded a singular entry of a storm at 21N 174W.
Twelve years later Deutsche Seewarte records reported a tropical cyclone which was first noted at 17N 141W and then progressed west northwestward during September 21-24, 1970. According to Visher the storm was tracked to a point about Bo mil 8 s south of South Point on the Big Island and then to 19N 16W (175 miles southwest of Honolulu) where its last known position was determined.
Regarding that storm, the following is quoted from the September 24, 1870 issue of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser in "Notes of the Week":
"The equinoctial storm which old salts always look for about this time, appears to have burst on us in the shape of a heavy gale of wind, accompanied with rain squalls. Should the wind veer a point or two further south it will probably give us an abundance of rain, for the atmosphere is warm and damp."
The following extracts from a column in "The Pacific Commercial
Advertiser" printed in Honolulu on August 12, 1871, tell the few known facts of a tropical storm at an unknown location but quite presumably in the Central North Pacific. The storm is not catalogued elsewhere in this paper due to lack of specific data.
"The U.S.S. Jamestown, 16 guns, of whose departure from Valparaiso on her way to this port we were advised by a letter from Chile, arrived on Saturday afternoon (AUGUST 5th), having been 63 days at sea, during a part of which time she had been cruising in search of some reported "Islands" and "Dangers" in the North Pacific, east of long. 181 (sic) W and as far north as lat 24 33'N. The observations in this report are for palpable reasons, not made known at present, but will be forwarded to the department at Washington for publication.*
"The only interruption to very fine weather was a moderate gale on the 10th of July which came on during the morning with heavy rain, squalls, and falling barometer with a moderate, broken sea. During the day the wind backed from N.W. around by W and S to SE. and S in the evening when it moderated (*At the time of this report those observations were not available.) and cleared up, the ship being able to steer her course to NW and make sail.
"At sunset the storm cloud was plainly visible to West, and moving away with the accompanying-lightning and rain. A cyclone was plotted, moving W by N at a rate of 15 miles per hour, its centre probably passing within 200 miles of the ship."
Another item in the same issue of "The Pacific Commercial Advertiser" also makes reference to a squall on Oahu on Wednesday, August 9, 1871 which was associated with the following report gathered from "The Hawaiian Gazette.
This tropical cyclone has not been tracked by any known source. The following excerpts are quoted from the August 16 and 23 issues of The Hawaiian Gazette published in Honolulu by M. Raplee, Director of the Government Press, and leave little doubt as to the authenticity of the occurrence:
"The Late Storm on Hawaii"
"From advices from Waimea and Kohala we learn that the storm of the 9th last was most severe in those districts, particularly in Kohala. We cannot better describe the fury of the storm than by publishing the graphic accounts of it given by Mr. D. D. Baldwin, manager of the plantation, and Rev. Mr. Bond, a resident at that place for over thirty years, to Hon. S. N. Castle, Treasurer of the Kohala Sugar Company. Mr. Baldwin writes:
'On Wednesday of last week a fearful tornado swept through the district, spreading desolation and ruin in its track, demolishing Mr. Wright's mill building and a large portion of the thatched houses in the district; throwing down our flume; uprooting large trees, and prostrating our canefields.
"The wind commenced about 6 o'clock A.M. from the North, and rapidly rotating to the West and South, and increasing in fury, reached its climax about 9 AM when it suddenly lulled into a calm fearfully in contrast with the rain the storm had so rapidly wrought. The wind was accompanied with torrents of rain which raised the streams to an unprecedented height and swept away fences and trees."
The Rev. Mr. Bond relates:
'The storm commenced about 6 a-fd. and increased at 10 a.m. The greatest fury was say from 9 to 9/2or 9-3/4, torrents of rain came with it. The district is swept as with the besom of destruction. About 150 houses were blown down, trees in ravines torn up like wisps of grass, cane stripped and torn, as never before and even the grass forced down and made to cleave to the earth. The main houses on the plantation, though flooded, remain in position. Cooper's shop and several of the people's houses moved from 2 to 10 feet off their foundations. The damage is variously estimated at $1,000 to $10,000. I should say $5,000 is a fair estimate. In our garden there is scarely a whole tree of any kind remaining. A mango tree 15 inches in diameter was snapped as a pipe stem, just above the surface of the ground. Old solid kukui trees which had stood the storms of a score of years were torn up and pitched about like chaff. Dr. Wright's mill and sugar house, the trash and dwelling house for manager, or head man, were all strewn over the ground. We were and are most thankful that the storm came in the daytime, and also that it was limited in its duration. These are the large drops of mercy mingled in the cup.'
The editor continues:
"The number of houses destroyed at Waipio, we understand to have been 27. At Waimea but little damage was done except to the road between that place and Kawaihae which we are informed, was seriously damaged in places by the torrents of water."
"Other portions of Hawaii seem to have escaped the injurious effects of the storm. At Hilo a strong wind blew during the day, and in the districts of Kona and Kau a vast amount of rain fell without wind. The storm seems, so far as we can judge, to have been a cyclone, moving from SE to NW its most destructive force having been felt in a diameter of from 150 to 200 miles. As the China steamer from San Francisco would probably have been somewhere to the NW of these islands at the time of the storm, it is not improbable that we may hear of her encountering the gale."
"Storm on Maui"
"On Wednesday last (August 9) the Island of Maui was visited by one of the most severe, if not the severest, storm that has been felt on any of these islands for many years. At Lahaina the storm, which appears to have been almost violent cyclone, commenced about ten o'clock, and ranged for several hours. The following graphic description by a resident, will give our readers news of the violence there:
'Thursday morning - I hope you are all safe there. We, here of Lahaina, have had one of those terrific, tropical storms, hurricanes, cyclones, or if there is any harder word in the dictionary it well deserves it, which we read of in sensation paragraphs, but which few men actually witness more than two to three times in their lives.
'It commenced yesterday morning before daybreak with a fine, steady rain accompanied by a rising wind from the North and Northeast increasing in violence until about noon, when the play was at its height, and coconuts, breadfruit, branches of trees and whole trees might be seen pirouetting and gallopading down one street and up another, while the horrible roar of the gale, now shrieking like 5000 steam whistles let off at once, now becoming like magnificent thunder kept up with music to the mad performance.
'Add to that an inveterate rain that knew no ceasing from early morn to late at night and you may have an idea of a tropical storm in Lahaina.
'Owing to the previous dry spell of long duration, the swollen streams from the mountain did not come down till about 11 A.M. and the water in the canal in front of my house was gradually rising by the rain alone until it was full and overflowing. At that time down came the accumulated waters from the mountain sides in all directions, red, like streams of blood, roaring like wild bulls, plowing up channels of their own, inundating houses and making confusion worse confounded. The damage to fruit trees, vineyards and canefields must be very considerable but as yet (Thursday morning) no accurate accounts have been received. The wind gradually wore round from North to Southwest and subsided at 5 P.M.'
Captain Makee writes:
"We have met with a great misfortune, but not, I hope, an irremediable one. At a quarter past ten this morning I went into the office to write letters. I had just begun to write when the wind began to blow furiously; in five minutes after, it was blowing one of the most fearful hurricanes I ever experienced. The door of the office was blown in, and took all the strength of Mr. S. and myself to close it and nail it up. Just as we had secured the door we saw the flagstaff fall. The hurricane being so terrific that trees, houses, and everything about were flying before the force of the wind.
"I was of course anxious to get to the dwelling house, but could see no way of accomplishing my desire. At this time a servant who had managed to get to the office window informed me that (omitted) was sick. I got out of the lee window of the office and made a desperate attempt to get to the house. The air was literally full of branches of trees, barrels, and shingles. It seemed as though the Furies were let loose. I finally got into the garden where the trees were falling in every direction, when a gust of wind took me and threw me some ten feet, fortunately landing on a grass plot, by which good fortune I received no injury. One of the natives came with great difficulty to my rescue, when, with great exertion we succeeded in getting into the house. I found (omitted) had swooned with fright. She had been in the cottage and had in passing from there to the house narrowly escaped being crushed by the falling trees; arrived at the house, the terrible danger through which she had passed overcame her."
Another report of a tropical cyclone was obtained from German shipping logs as having occurred on November 19, 1874 at 16N 161W (375 miles southwest of Oahu) at nearly the same position hurricane DOREEN was located 99 years later. That particular entry included a barometer reading of 29.68" (1005.1 mb) and a southwest wind of Beaufort force 10.
The lowest pressure recorded at Honolulu was 29.6" (1002.4 mb) on November 17 with fresh south to south-southwest winds. About 20 inches of rain fell in Honolulu from the 17th through the 19th. At Kalaupapa, Molokai, southerly gale force winds destroyed 23 homes and damaged 50 others.
The modern day student of tropical meteorology, upon analysis of the data listed above will decide that this may have been a "Kona" storm.
Both Visher (1925) and Hurd (1929) from examination of the Segelhanbuch (the German Sailor's Handbook) believed it to be a true tropical cyclone of warm core structure. Hurd's reasoning seems most plausible but not without question.
Whether or not this particular storm was truly tropical may never be known since it cannot be determined if the German vessel ever penetrated the center of the storm.
German seamen of the latter portion of the 19th century, as well as researchers of other nationalities, were well aware of the existence of "Kona" storms. Redfield (1856) specifically mentioned their presence in the vicinity of the Sandwich Islands.

Group 1 Core Courses
Exploring Religion: Past and Present
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Through a series of stimulating case-studies on world religions throughout the ages, this course considers the study of religion from a variety of perspectives including historical, anthropological, textual, and psychological. In so doing it will equip you with study skills necessary for studying religion in an academic context.
Exploring the Past: Archaeology
Level 4, 10 Credits.
What do archaeologists actually do? Using a stimulating series of case studies this course introduces you to a wide variety of approaches and techniques for reconstructing past landscape & agriculture, technology, trade, diet, burial practices, beliefs, cultural identity & the lives of individuals and communities.
Exploring the Past: History
Level 4, 10 Credits.
What is History? How do we do it and why does it matter? This course will use a series of case studies to answer those questions. It will explore ideas about nation and identity in order to equip you with the skills you need to get the most from your study of the past.
Group 2 Optional Courses
Ancient Empires
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
The ancient world is defined by its empires - indeed, the story of empires is almost as old as civilisation itself. This course will consider some of the great empires of the ancient world, from Assyria to Rome, in order to identify the causes of imperial expansion, how empires were won, and the justifications behind them.
Archaeology and the Battle of the Sexes
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Relationships and conflicts between men and women are as old as humanity itself and it is easy to assume that they haven't changed much in all that time. But is this really the case? Through a series of case studies crossing two thousand years of Mediterranean history, this course will seek to answer that question
Art and Culture in Ancient Greece
Level 4, 10 Credits.
This course explores the art and culture of Greece from the Bronze Age to the end of the Classical period. It deals with sculpture, architecture, painted pottery and wall painting, and places these artistic developments in their social, political and historical context.
Bringing the Past to Life? History, Historians and Television
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Who are history TV programmes for? What can studying history documentaries tell us about the way that historians and TV producers approach their craft? This summer school will explore the styles and techniques that the makers of historical documentaries employ to 'reconstruct' the past.
Celtic Land, Literature and Tradition
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Celtic folklore often conjures up visions of mystical spirits and ancient worlds. This course aims to look beyond such romantic notions and consider the varied range of folklore in Britain and Ireland. It will examine how people in the past viewed their world and how folklore has been adapted in modern life.
Cymru a'r Byd Mawr (Wales and the Wider World)
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Mae dylanwad y byd tu-allan wedi bod yn amlwg ar Gymru, ond hefyd mae Cymru wedi gadael ei hôl ar y byd mawr. Bydd y cwrs hwn yn ystyried dwy ochr y geiniog, gan archwilio profiadau'r Cymry tramor, y cysylltiadau rhwng Cymru â'r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig, a dylanwad mewn-fudiad o wledydd eraill ar gymunedau yng Nghymru.
Deciphering the Minoans: the Civilisation of Bronze-Age Crete
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Our knowledge of Bronze-Age Crete is clouded by myth. These legends are widely-known but they obscure our understanding of the Minoans, a fascinating civilisation that dominated Crete for almost two thousand years. Since few written sources survive from the period, it is in archaeology that the key to unlocking the secrets of this mysterious culture can be found.
Forging Nations: Britain, France and the 100 Years War
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
From Shakespeare to Hollywood, the Hundred Years' War is emblazoned on our consciousness. Agincourt has for centuries acted as a rallying cry for English nationhood whilst the era also produced icons like Joan of Arc and Owain Glyn Dŵr. This course will examine the conflict and explore its contribution to the forging of national identities
From Mecca to Merthyr: Islam as a World Religion
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
In recent years Islam has piqued the interest of politicians and the public, especially following 9/11 and 7/7. As a result media coverage has tended to emphasise some aspects of the religion at the expense of others. This course will address that issue by examining Islam and its place in current affairs.
Ghoulish and Gruesome: Beliefs and the Body in Early Modern Britain
Level 4, 10 Credits.
To present-day eyes, the beliefs of earlier eras can appear bizarre and absurd; the products of 'ignorance' or 'superstition'. This is certainly the case for early modern understandings of the human body. With that in mind, this course will examine a range of beliefs about the body in Britain from 1500 to 1700.
Heritage and the Power of the Past
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Representations of the past are all around us, from castles to museums to processions to street names. History is embodied in all these things and we call that 'heritage'. But what is heritage for and why do we value it? Who decides what is heritage is? In other words, who wields power over the past?
Hidden Histories: Uncovering identities in Tudor and Stuart England
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Today identities are characterised by ideas about gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity and nationality. Yet the study of these labels in the early modern period has received little attention. This course explores the construction of identities built on notions of sex, age and nation, focusing particularly on the question of how far these labels were based on what people actually looked like.
Magic in the Ancient World
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
In many societies of the ancient world magic was seen as absolutely real and played an important role in how people lived. This course will explore magical practices and theories in ancient Near Eastern, Greek and Roman cultures. Using literary and historical texts as well as visual and material artefacts and evidence, this course will examine a wide range of magical practices and techniques including amulets, drugs and incantations, curse tablets, sacrifice, divination, shape-changing and necromancy.
Medieval France: One Nation, One Power?
Level 4, 10 Credits.
It is easy to believe that France was always one of medieval Europe's great powers; wealthy, strong, stable, well-organised and highly cultured. But was that really the case? This course will answer that question by examining how a fragmented group of dukedoms and counties became subject to a powerful and centralised monarchy.
Past Perspectives of Disability
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Is the concept of disability a modern one? Were there many disabled people in the past? How was disability viewed by past cultures - with sympathy, hostility, indifference? Using early modern England (c. 1500-1800) as a case study this course will attempt to address some of these questions.
Roman Conquests; From Republic to Empire
Level 4, 10 Credits.
From the third century BC the Roman Republic was involved in countless wars. In their wake, Roman power spread across the entire Mediterranean. Why did Rome fight so many wars, how was it able to win them, and what were their consequences for the Roman state itself? These are questions this course will seek to answer.
Shamans and Religious Ecstasy
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
In recent years interest in shamanic practise has increased dramatically, evoking images of mystical journeys and exotic cultures in which 'masters of spirits' perform ecstatic cures. In response to that, this course considers shamanism from an anthropological and historical perspective and will also look at images of the shaman in popular culture, film, art and literature.
Shrines, Stars and Sacrifice: Understanding Prehistoric Ritual
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Religious rituals relate to beliefs which exist primarily in the mind and therefore leave few recoverable traces. Yet there are some key techniques that archaeologists use to understand rituals from prehistoric periods. This course will introduce you to some of the approaches that can help us to make sense of ritual activity in prehistoric Europe.
Telling Tales and Digging Ditches: Archaeology and Folklore
Level 1 (CQFW Level 4), 10 Credits.
Folklore and archaeology have been intertwined since the days when ancient monuments were attributed to the druids. Building on that longstanding relationship, this course will examine how archaeology has expanded our understanding of folklore, and conversely how the study of folklore has helped to produce new and striking interpretations of archaeological sites.
Voices of the Past: The Hidden History of the Ancient World
Level 4, 10 Credits.
The traditional story of ancient history focuses on the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman Empires. This course explores an alternative history, looking at those whose lives were dominated, threatened or ended by the reach of imperial power. In what ways is it possible to hear the voices of the oppressed?
Wales and the First World War
Level 4, 10 Credits.
This module will trace the influence of the Great War on Wales by examining developments from 1914 right up to the present day. It will explore the impact of the war at the time and immediately afterwards, as well as looking at its long-term implications for Welsh life and culture.

Police spokeswoman Kim Kapp says officers responded to a gas station Wednesday after getting a report from a couple that a man in motorcycle gear wielded an ax at them after attacking someone with the weapon. A similar report had come in the night before
The suspects allegedly told investigators they were "pranking" people with what police describe as a realistic-looking fake ax.
The men—Pavel Krivov and Petru Tomcac—were arrested for assault and booked into the Clark County Jail. It wasn't immediately known if either man had an attorney.

This software is still in beta mode. I don't guarantee that it'll work.
I recomend to install tip version of vcs while the app is in beta mode.
- create new virtualenv and activate it - highly recommend that you use separate virtual-env for whole application
- download hg app from default (not demo) branch from bitbucket and run 'python setup.py install' this will install all required dependencies needed
- run paster setup-app production.ini it should create all needed tables and an admin account.
- remember that the given path for mercurial repositories must be write accessible for the application
- run paster serve development.ini - or you can use manage-hg_app script. the app should be available at the 127.0.0.1:5000
- use admin account you created to login.
- default permissions on each repository is read, and owner is admin. So remember to update those.

Rockers Smashing Pumpkins have enlisted Motley Crue legend Tommy Lee for the band's upcoming ninth album.
Frontman Billy Corgan posted a snap of him in a recording studio with Lee on Wednesday and revealed the drummer will perform on all nine tracks slated to appear on the band's next record, "Monument To An Elegy."
Alongside the image, uploaded to the band's official website, Corgan writes, "Here's a shot from the mission out west. Just finished round 1 of tracking drums with Tommy Lee for the new the (sic) Smashing Pumpkins album. Shockla-locka-boom. Yes, that T Lee for all 9 songs of 'Monument To An Elegy.'"
Lee's band Motley Crue are gearing up to hit the road for a farewell tour with Alice Cooper later this year.

Yesterday's tale of how my boy says "dump truck" has readers telling me similar stories.
Many are too funny not to share.
Rita Walsh emailed me this yarn about her nephew:
"His young son also had a problem with words — and at the most terrible times.
My nephew had him visiting the Salmonier Nature Park on a Sunday afternoon and started showing and telling his son about the different inhabitants of the park.
One of them was the Falcon, which particular species I don't know, but the little fellow really liked the bird.
He kept repeating the name of the bird but it didn't necessarily come out with the proper letters in the pronunciation, 'Daddy, I like this '#$%*' bird.
After my nephew made a couple of attempts to ease the situation, he had to leave the park as other visitors sent some nasty looks his way.
That didn't help too much and his car seemed to be miles and miles away as his son kept screaming that he didn't want to leave. Instead, he wanted to stay with the '#$%*' bird.
I don't think either of them have been back to the park since."
Funny stuff.
So was this comment on The Telegram's Facebook page from Seanna Decker:
"My son, who will be two next week, loves Thomas the Train.
However, he can't say Thomas ... he calls him 'Bad Ass.' lol.
"When we go to the store and he sees something that's Thomas, he screams out 'Bad Ass!'
"It was funny at first ... but now we're just getting weird looks at the store. Lol"

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has created an extensive collection of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subject and career educational resources that are available throughout the library system. These items are intended to inspire and engage students in middle and high school in these subjects with the intent of promoting future careers in these fields. The collections represent a wide variety of interests and include print and DVD materials.
This site is intended to provide information for general information, homework support, assistance with science fair projects, and to locate career and job-related resources.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's STEM initiative is made possible through a seed grant from J.B. Finley Charitable Trust and Elizabeth Shiras Charitable Trust through the PNC Charitable Trust Grant Review Committee and through the support of Alcoa Foundation and Anne L. and George H. Clapp Charitable and Educational Trust.
The U.S. currently faces a shortage of skilled workers in the science, engineering and technology sectors. In Pittsburgh, as in other regions in the country, the scientific and technological building blocks critical to our economic leadership are eroding. There is a great need in our workforce for people with strong STEM skills. By building a strong background in these areas, teens can stand out amongst their peers.

Last night our B ride came in at 17.6 avg; the C+'s came in at 15.3. Nice night for a ride!
I'm from Allentown.

scratchbord™ Daisy and ButterflyItem# 31369Create this charming scratch art image of a butterfly on a bright yellow daisy with scratchbord™.
Step 1 This project uses an 8"x10" scratchbord™ panel. Download and print Image #1. Cover the entire back of the pattern with white chalk. Center the pattern chalk side down onto the scratchbord™ surface and tape it in place; do not put tape directly on the surface. Trace over the guidelines with a pen or pencil to transfer the pattern.
Step 2 Carefully remove the pattern. Using a scratch tool, lightly scratch over the chalk outline for your main guidelines. Blow away residual chalk or wipe gently with a soft cloth. Do not rub hard or the scratchbord™ surface will smudge. Make sure to scratch in all of the lines on the pattern because they will be your directional guidelines for the next step. Refer to Image #2.
Step 3 Using image #3 to guide you, scratch in the contour lines. Carefully follow the curvature of the wings and flower petals. Contour lines are very important because they not only define shapes, but also give them volume and keep them from looking too flat.
Step 4 Using image #4 to guide you, scratch in between the contour lines with your scratch tool. When you finish this step, you should have a gray, flat looking subject.
Step 5 Study the drawing for image #5. Go back to areas that need to be lighter and scratch more lines either between or over the previous ones. Pay attention to the direction of the lines on the wings while you are scratching. This highlighting is what gives your drawing dimension. Before moving on to the color step, make sure you have scratched away enough of the black and that the image resembles the Step #5 illustration. Do not leave too much black in the drawing or your colors will not be as bright when you add color.
Step 6 Before adding color, carefully clean off your piece with a soft cloth. Before applying the color, always test it first on a piece of paper to make sure you have the color just right. Use a small brush (#2 recommended) and a "dry brush" technique by blotting extra ink color from the brush onto a paper towel before applying it. Study the finished color illustration in image #6. Apply inks to the white scratched areas of your drawing. When your painting is completely dry go back in and remove some color with the scratch tool to create the white highlights. Use the color illustration in image #6 to guide you in the areas that need to be highlighted.
Step 7 Once you are finished, seal your scratchbord™ with two or three coats of an acrylic fixative. We recommend the Krylon® UV finishes. You can choose Matte, Satin or Gloss. The fixative will dissolve any fingerprints and smudges that appear on the surface. Place your piece in a ready-made frame and you are done. No glass is necessary!

Chalk – White or Pastel
Pencil or Pen
Scratch Knife
Brush #2 Round Watercolor
Paper Towels
Colored India Ink
Be patient and take your time. This is a time consuming project but it can be done, and tracing the drawing will help tremendously. After you get the hang of it, try other flowers or other placements of the butterfly.Craft Time: 60+ minutes

Should We Ever Stop Playing Dress Up?
What are some of your earliest memories of expressing personal style?
Debra: I grew up in a very creative and open household, my parents encouraged my sister and I to play dress-up with clothes and to express ourselves. I was always very opinionated about layering. When I was 4 yrs old we moved to Florida, and I had a cotton harlequin jumpsuit that to me said, "THIS is Florida!"… It was my first favorite item; it was freeing and made me feel like I could do no wrong in it. Dressing up was always fun, it was never precious or formal.
MaryAnn: When I was a child, my aunt was a buyer for the upscale department store Gimbels (this building is now the Manhattan Mall in Herald Square!) so I got to browse her closets and have access to all the high fashion items. She would send me boxes and boxes of outfits, and every time they would be more fantastic. I got to learn early how to play with style, and none of it felt precious. Because it was a gift, nothing ever felt off-limits to play with.
Debra: (chimes in after we realize how similar their approach is): If you want an item in your wardrobe, you have to enjoy it…. Don't be too precious with special items, make them casual- like a diamond brooch on a t shirt, or a tutu as a shawl… its about incongruity!
Do you feel like age should affect how much skin you show?
Debra: I have a great neck and shoulders, thanks to yoga and good genes, so I like to bare them. I'd say that every woman should try things on before purchasing them or leaving the house, because sometimes you think it looks like too much but its gorgeous.
We have to get over these outdated assumptions, that women (or men) can only wear certain things.
MaryAnn: A smart woman knows how to play to her good side, with the operative word being PLAY. Dressing up should be fun; you can't take it too seriously.
Many women I talk to have a hard time putting together an outfit, or as we might say, "building a look". How do you get dressed in the morning?
MaryAnn: Dressing up is a creative process that brings me closer to my "Self". It doesn't really occur to me that people would have a hard time with this; it's a natural part of my day. My husband asked me recently "What would you call that look?", and I answered, "It's just me!"
Debra: Building an outfit is a morning meditation. It gets me prepared for the day ahead, and is what will determine my mood for the day.
What would you say to someone worried about age taking a toll on his or her appearance?
Debra: Wrinkles? If you have wrinkles I'd say… So what?! If you eat right, you'll feel right. You have to keep this consciousness into your 40s, 50's, 60's and on…
MaryAnn: In order to keep looking young you have to do youthful things, like dressing with expression. If you feel young mentally, you will look young.
Debra: As you get older you have the confidence to take different style risks, which is inherently youthful.
How do you transition your look into hotter summer months?
MaryAnn: I wear a lot of leather layers all year, but I play with it, less layers and lighter weight. It's the same aesthetic though. The jewelry I wear changes, I use more seasonal materials, like shells, for summer.
Who are your favorite designers?
MaryAnn: I'm in love with the Rodarte girls. Those sisters are the most creative designers right now; I love their aesthetic and fabric combinations. My dream would be to meet them.
Debra: I love the look of Rick Owens, and Comme des Garcons, but its more for inspiration- once a year I splurge on a designer item, but for the most part I like to work with what I have and just explore different looks.
Do you swear by any beauty regimens? How do you have such amazing skin?
Debra: I really don't buy products, my main rule is to only use on your skin what you would consider putting in your mouth… so I use a lot of oils like jojoba, olive, etc… I just recently started using Weleda products; they make a lot of creams for babies.
What items do you think every woman should have? And does this change as you get older?
MaryAnn: You always have to have accessories, and lots of jewelry…. And black ribbon. I often have some in my purse if I need to tie something, or I put it in my hair.
Debra: Yes, everyone should have layers of accessories, and recycled items (things you use for more than one purpose)…. I always have velvet ribbon or elastic ribbon around to use as a belt, headpiece, bracelet, or for my hair.
What about someone who's never tried dressing this way, what if they want to try something new?
MaryAnn: So much of the time people are cemented in their ideas of dressing and don't want to change their look to be more creative- I used to try giving more friends advice, but its hard as you get older to change these habits!
Debra: To succeed with this I think you need to take it 180 degrees… go to thrift shops so the changes are less of an investment. Spend very little on just a few things so you can play and see what you want to do to express yourself. Go buy some new eye shadow, get a free makeover… anything that feels like PLAY!

How fun and fantastic. I agree with them. There don't need to be any pre-conceived notions about what's appropriate at whatever age. Fashion should be expressive and your youthful attitude will show whatever your age.

Not sure what these two are trying to prove - that age and style are not related? They are certainly proving that! Unlike most of your other ladies who are the epitome of elegance, these two just look like late middle age messes instead of young ones! Sorry, they just don't do it for me.
- December 16, 2011 at 5:05 AM
I disagree with anonymous 5:05am December 16,2011. I don't think they look like "messes". I think they look creative and creativity is their style. Everyone has a different opinion about "style"; but to single these two women out and call them "middle age messes" is disrespectful.
I could see if you said I'm not quite feeling this outfit; but to call them "messes". Please.
I wouldn't call anyone on this blog or off a "mess"; what they do is none of my business.
I was raised that if you can't give a compliment or make constructive suggestions, then what you're saying is not at all helpful.
Maybe I stand to be corrected; but I think Ari's goal is to show that all these women have something to offer. They are expressing themselves. I don't think his goal was to put them on the blog to be ridiculed. Of course there is freedom of speech and you're entitled to your opinion.
I see some styles in some posts which I don't resonate with; but I just move on, instead of doing "name calling".

One should never stop playing dress up! I'll be 57 in a hair over a week, and I haven't started 'dressing my age' nor do I intend to, unless I get a job that demands I do so.
I think society is far too rigid in what is 'appropriate' for different ages, genders, classes. What does it hurt if someone has pink hair or is wearing a tutu? There is enough harshness in life; one should take joy in the things they can!

Learning of James Gandolfini's untimely passing, my thoughts turned not to his iconic role as Tony Soprano, but his recent performance in Sopranos creator David Chase's directorial film debut, Not Fade Away, one of the most honest and under-rated movies ever made about rock and roll. Though seeing Gandolfini as a New Jersey businessman, struggling to keep peace in his suburban home with his wife and children, stirs up memories of his better-known TV family man, his film father and TV father lead quite different lives.
Set in the 1960's, the film's focus is on his son, a budding musician who gives up his college education, funded by his father and an ROTC scholarship, as his rock and roll outfit, heavily influenced by the blues-based Rolling Stones, gains increasing local popularity, which leads all the members to believe they can make it to the big-time, despite the many ego clashes and professional miscalculations that derail their journey. (If this sounds a bit like the plot of That Thing You Do, be aware that the dramatic tone of Not Fade Away is much heavier, and, to me, much more realistic. The heightened realism is aided, in no small part, by the soundtrack chosen by the film's music director, Steve Van Zandt.)
All the storied culture clashes that accompanied the '60's rock revolution are on display here in their most intimate manifestations, most poignantly in the relationship between father and son. Gandolfini's character wants his son to take the career direction originally agreed upon, but as his son's ambitions grow, and his parental norms can no longer be reconciled with his son's evolving belief systems, he comes to accept the break instead of denying it, which helps to mend their strained relationship. Such sweetness is not the Soprano way.
An especially close dinner conversation between father and son in the film's third act, as well as a scene late in the film where the father bids a farewell to his son that may or may not be final, pack an emotional wallop that hit even harder now in the wake of Gandolfini's passing. Thankfully, we have this film, among many others (not to mention the now-legendary TV series), to keep his screen presence from ever fading away.

Headline shirts, a local SF T-shirt company, have not only come out with some new cool shirts but they've also totally revamped their web site as well. Love the Reallife t-shirt and as usual they went to town on the copy
Look out, Facebook! A new social networking phenomenon is sweeping the nation. The revolutionary Reallife allows users to "do things" and have actual "human to human contact."
Much like Facebook, users can add "friends" to their Reallife profile. However, unlike Facebook, "friends" do not include the wheezy kid you vaguely remember from camp, Todd's roommate who once sold you weed and wants to bone you, or Barack Obama.
Reallife is also different from Facebook in that users will see the real you — not a grossly misleading avatar, a picture of your child/cat, or a uncannily smoldering "candid" shot of you staring away from the camera all mysteriously.
Also, in Reallife, throwing a sheep at someone would be considered rude, and possibly illegal (though not in Nebraska).

If work keeps you frequently away from home, you know how challenging it can be to maintain your fitness program. Travel time and meetings might leave little room in your schedule for a workout — but keeping fit doesn't have to be a lost cause. A little dedication and planning can help you stay in shape when you're traveling. Consider these travel workout tips.
Before your trip, research the hotel or nearby fitness facilities and pack accordingly. Your travel workout essentials might include:
For a different type of travel workout, you might ask the hotel staff about renting in-line skates or a bicycle.
Wear your walking shoes when you travel. If you're traveling by plane, stroll through the airport terminal. When traveling by train walk through the cars occasionally. Walk outdoors when the train stops to let passengers on and off. If you're driving, take frequent breaks to get out and stretch.
When you arrive at your destination, set the tone for your trip by working out right away. If that's not possible, schedule a time for your next workout and treat it as an important appointment.
Get creative and squeeze in activity whenever you can. For example:
If jet lag or schedule changes leave you exhausted, make your travel workout shorter or lighter than usual. It's OK to take it easy once in a while.
Remember, however, that regular exercise can help reduce stress and feelings of low energy, which might be just what you need to get down to business.

I really don't understand the whole Mattel issue though. The case assortments for MOTU during 200x, really didn't look any different than any other toyline at the time. Heroes are always packed the most in a case. Also the cases were really small. I think it was like 4 He-Man, and two 2ndary characters or something like that. So, we are looking at 6 figures total to a case. Villains had their own case.
The trouble was that you could go and buy all the secondary characters from all the cases that the stores put out, since there were so few of them. An ebay scalper could get to a store early, see a case of figures (4 Jungle Attack He-Mans, 1 Teela, 1 Orko), buy all the rare figures and leaving the 4 Jungle Attack He-Man figures on the shelves. Now imagine this scenario for every case the store has. Then imagine this happening everywhere MOTU 200X was sold. All you have left were He-Man and Skeletor variants. Scalpers selling 7-8 dollar toys for $30-40 dollars a piece on eBay. They could easily make 10 times as much as they put out. They got rich off of MOTU 200X fans who couldn't find the figures.
Unlike other lines where you could find other characters to keep the line going, MOTU 200X didn't have other characters to help sell the line because they were short packed. Nowadays, cases are divided up much better.
But this is what I don't understand- The cases are not better! The problem ultimately was that He-Man is not nearly as recognizable as he should have been. Batman is clearly packed more to a case then his villains, yet I would consider most of his toy lines a success.
What you are describing as scalpers buying all the secondary characters, well, that does happen, but not enough to kill an entire line. I bet more collectors got who they wanted in a store than the kids did. It is unfortunate that this happens, but it does. I know because I was working at TRU during the entire run of 200x. I was blamed, along with these imaginary "scalpers" whenever a collector couldn't find what he wanted. As if I controlled the production of any given toy line!
He-Man was a failure because he is not a recognizable brand anymore. You can blame Mattel for bad marketing, or bad case ratios, or whatever, but it doesn't change the fact that kids aren't into action figures.
The Batman thing is not correct b/c KIDS are buying Batman figures (with the exception of the brand new MMs figures that Mattel made for collectors), while I see your point its factually incorrect. 90% of Batman lines are for kids. He-Man is more of a collector line, while there was a new cartoon out at the time the line was mostly snapped up by collectors nostalgic for the 80's (myself included). So Mattel in all of its glory decided that since it has to be kids buying up the first wave (the only one that had a decent ratio) they need to put He-Man figures front and center and all future secondary characters need only one since very few people care about them. What Mattel didn't realize was that it was collectors buying up the He-Man and Skeletor figures from the first wave b/c that is the only decent He-Man and Skeletor that will exist (why they thought that no one cared about Man at Arms and Beast Man Idk). After that the kids weren't buying the crappy rehashes and left the line while all of us were out there trying to get our hands on the one Teela or Orko in the tri-county area with most people resorting to the internet or giving up (what I did, not spending 50 dollars on a 10 dollar figure I want to pull out of the packaging and pose). So basically blame Mattel for not producing enough figures for the line to prosper.
Right, and I am incorrect How?
He-Man was marketed to kids. Kids didn't buy enough He-Man figures. The line was considered a failure.
Its true that collectors were buying the line up, and Mattel's failure was in not seeing who there primary target was, but it doesn't change the fact that the INTENTION was to sell to kids.
Yes the intention was to sell to kids and the ratio sucked but Mattel selling all of the first wave and then just the secondary characters of the second wave should have told them something. Should have made the question there target. I basically think we are pretty much saying the same thing. Except where most Batman lines are made to sell to kids except a few just in the last year or so, they are bought mostly by kids. Collectors don't really care about Trap Clap Batman and Elvis Impersonation Robin but kids do. But MOTU and even the Playmates versions of TMNT were made for kids but it was collectors buying all the secondary characters and neither company figured out who were buying there secondary characters (even to this day Playmates never geared any the line to better ratios of secondary characters). Sorry if I made the earlier post sound like I was being a jackass. I meant the Batman line info to be about the line made for kids with mostly kids buying where MOTU were made for kids but collectors were buying everything but the rehashes.
