On "Q"by Wendy Bowman-Littler | Modern Luxury Orange County magazine | August 27, 2012
Santa Ana's bustling Artists Village is an ever-growing four-block area of downtown that's centered around the Second Street Promenade, between Broadway Avenue and Spurgeon Street. And Jose Quant relishes strolling through its 40-plus new and established art galleries, restaurants, theaters, shops and live-work studios. When he's not at Courbet Art Circle—the studio/gallery he's owned and operated for the past six years—or the new Q Art Salon that he recently opened at the corner of North Sycamore and West First streets, he can be found on the patio of Lola Gaspar restaurant in the historic Santora Arts Building. There, he orders appetizers—smoked bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese and handmade chorizo flatbread to be shared with friends amid a mix of locals and visitors from all walks of life.
Afterward, Quant typically heads out for a walk around the block—past institutions like Cal State Fullerton's Grand Central Art Center and the O.C. Center for Contemporary Art. He also drops by to chat with the affable owners of local establishments, including The Gypsy Den. At Chapter One: the modern local, he enjoys listening to owner Jeff Jensen extol the area's virtues—from all of its fun events, like the free Downtown Santa Ana Artwalk, held the first Saturday of the month, to the Día de los Muertos festival each fall. For Jensen (who donated the eats for the May 5 debut of Quant's gallery) and many other locals, Q is a source of excitement. It's among a growing slate of businesses joining the mix—all of which attract attention to the district.
"The opening of Q Art Salon brings additional sophistication to the Santa Ana arts community," says John D. Spiak, director and chief curator of the Grand Central Art Center, a 1920s-era building that has been transformed into a 45,000-square-foot, three-level structure that houses studio and living quarters for graduate art students, as well as galleries and exhibition spaces, a small theater, and a gift shop. "It complements the current spaces, as well as the artists and galleries of the Santora Building."
Clearly, Quant, a native of Nicaragua, is no stranger to the village. He moved to California years ago and has run Courbet Art Circle since 2006. There, he holds drawing and painting workshops every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (except for art-walk nights, when he stages a show featuring talents such as Marinus Welman and Kathleen Sabine). He calls Santa Ana the scene of his life's second act. After 30 years working in the fashion industry (as the owner of Paris Blues, the junior denim brand he founded in 1981), he plans to retire soon and divide his time between Q, a contemporary gallery showing portraiture, edgy figurative work, cityscapes and contemporary realism, and his painting—something he picked up 13 years ago as a hobby, became obsessed with and went on to study at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design. But he's most excited about Q. "There is nothing like the type of art I'm showing around here, and it's great to expose young people to that," he says. "Typically, you would have to go to L.A. and New York to see this type of work."
Visitors often are drawn to the gallery's top confines—an expansive area patterned after 18th- and 19th-century French salons, where artists would gather to show their creations, complete with seating nooks and Quant's own mostly figurative artwork and pieces by artists like Russian-born abstract painter Alex Kanevsky, whom he admires for his ability to "deconstruct the human figure without dissolving the actual figure," and up-and-coming L.A. contemporary realist painter Sean Cheetham, who was part of the gallery's opening show, The Knights Debut.
The first floor is reserved for exhibits (Holocaust Images of WWII was the most recent program, with works by Marinus Welman). When there's no exhibit, Quant shows samples of his art or pieces from his collection. "By opening this place and showing the type of art that I think is very new in this area, I hope it's helping the community grow," Quant says. "I would like to see more galleries, more businesses coming here. The area is beautiful, with incredible historical buildings that I don't see anywhere in O.C. The opportunity is here."

The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria states that a Lego Star Wars' set of Jabba's Palace is racist because it appears to closely resemble the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the Jami al-Kabir mosque in Beirut and a minaret and therefore reinforces negative stereotypes about the Middle East.
The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria released a statement calling for Lego to apologise for affronting religious and cultural feelings.
Austria's Turkish community said "Jabba's Palace", a model of the home of Jabba the Hutt, was based on Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul and that the accompanying figures depicted Asians and Orientals as people with "deceitful and criminal personalities."
TCCA apparently believes the toy set resembles the Hagia Sophia, originally a structure in Istanbul that began life as an Orthodox basilica in 360, became a mosque in 1453 and was eventually converted to a museum in 1935; TCCA further alleges it resembles the 7th century Jami' al-Kabir mosque in Beirut.
"The terrorist Jabba the Hutt likes to smoke a hookah and have his victims killed," a statement on their website reads, according to the Telegraph. The statement also claims that the characters look sinister and do evil things, such as keep slaves and commit murder.
"It is clear that the ugly figure of Jabba and the whole scene smacks of racial prejudice and vulgar insinuations against Asians and Orientals as people with deceitful and criminal personalities."
The crimes associated with the figures, the statements adds, include terrorism, slavery, murder and human sacrifice.
Taking into account that many of the Lego figures carry weapons, the Turkish organisation also urged parents "not to buy toys of war or toys of discrimination" as the model goes against the "peaceful coexistence of different cultures in Europe".
Lego denies the charges. "The Lego Star Wars product Jabba's Palace does not reflect any actually existing buildings, people, or the mentioned mosque," Katharina Sasse, a spokesperson for Lego, told the Telegraph.
"We regret that the product has caused the members of the Turkish cultural community to come to a wrong interpretation, but point out that when designing the product only the fictional content of the Star Wars saga were referred to."
This is not Lego's first brush with racism accusations either. The artist Chris McVeigh claimed in 2010 that almost all non-white Lego faces scowl, according to Wired. The Wired article claims that Lego's toy sets based on Hollywood movies also highlight the racism already apparent in Hollywood casting, reminds Huffington Post.
Star Wars has been accused of racism before. Some claimed that George Lucas' 1999 movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was racist because some of its villains seemed to reinforce Asian stereotypes.

Are you wearing a belt today? Probably not. It's the most forgotten of accessories. But trust us when we say that, when worn correctly, it can do wonders for an outfit. Imagine the power of the Green & Blue Belt Set ($14). Far superior to a black belt and more versatile than an animal print, these shades of teal, lime, and cobalt can work with warm- and cold-weather wardrobes, extending the life of these belts far past their price tag.

For our purposes, we like Vimeo because they focus on controlling privacy - you can share a video with just one person. We use it to share rough cuts of videos with clients. Vimeo does a lot of things well. That is why I'm both perplexed and disappointed by an experience lately. We tested the privacy system to see what happens when we share video... Continue Reading

The highly anticipated and unfortunately delayed Watch Dogs has been granted it's release date. Gamers can expect to get their hack on in the near future Chicago on May 27th on most platforms.
The trailer from which the announcement comes shows off quite a bit of story centering on protagonist Aiden Pearce and his story of vengeance for a hit being placed on his head. Between images of human trafficking and player caused blackouts, players get a glimpse of a few of the seedier characters that will populate the world of Watch Dogs, and the action that awaits them at the end of the May.
While Watch Dogs and Ubisoft have both seen their fair share of controversy in recent months, a confirmation of release certainly puts eager gamers looking for a new IP to ease that the next gen investment was indeed a good one. Official news regarding Watch Dogs from Ubisoft has been slim regarding a release date following the push from the launch day of both the Xbox One and Playstation 4, but expect a typical Ubisoft marketing blitz heading into the release of the new title.
Watch Dogs will for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, PC and Wii U, and looks to compete with other titles like Wolfenstein: The New Order which releases on May 20th, 2014.

Stock Upgrades: Rolls Royce Living Large
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
(^DJI) suffered its worst day in over three weeks after the defense spending component of GDP tumbled by 22%, its steepest slide since the conflict in Vietnam. While America disarms at an alarming rate, erstwhile Parisian pacifists are suddenly going to the ends of the Earth (or
at least Timbuktu
) to wage war. Thus the description of the country from a former
writer as "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" clearly no longer applies.
Bart and co. were, however, right on the money in poking fun at horrifically misaligned English teeth in the

(RIMM) tumbled 12.01% amid disappointment its latest BlackBerry won't be unveiled until March but seven Dreamliner delays spanning a decade didn't hurt
(BA), which gained 1.28% to best all blue chips. The plane is so-called after a naming contest was held on
America Online

"Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies" is a brand new Z-grade horror movie that stars a number of real life wrestlers batting hoards of zombies in an abandoned prison. PWInsider.com reported on March 19 that Troma Studios will distribute "Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies" for its DVD release.
This is the perfect match.
Troma Studios has released many cult favorite scholocky horror films such as "The Toxic Avenger," "Class of Nuke 'Em High," and "Sgt. Kabukiman." Their most prestigious release was "Tromeo & Juliet," which was written by James Gunn, the same man who is now directing Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy."
"Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies" stars a number of famous professional wrestlers including Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Matt Hardy and his wife Reby Sky, Kurt Angle and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas.
Douglass has been talking up the new movie for awhile. The man who really kickstarted ECW almost two decades ago was supposed to take part in a recent hardcore wrestling event but backed out to finish this movie.
The plot of "Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies" sees Shane Douglas recruited by a dubious promoter to bring some star name talent wrestlers for a show at an abandoned prison only to find he has brought back a hoard of zombies in a plot of revenge against one of the wrestlers.

Fontina & Melting

Arzua UlloaOn the banks of the Ulluo River in Galicia, where Arzua Ulloa is made and loved, it is sometimes called queixo do pays, meaning "cheese of the land". The name-protected beauty is crafted from milk from Rubia Gallega, Frisian and Alpine Brown cows that graze on the area's green pastures. It's aged for a mere two weeks—the pasteurized cheese is mild yet complex, redolent of freshly churned butter and proofing bread dough. Arzua Ulloa's natural, straw yellow rind makes way to reveal a satiny ivory paste, smooth and unrelentingly creamy. Arzua Ulloa is a superstar melter. Make a no-joke grilled cheese, with or without quince paste (we vote with). Or serve with honey and marcona almonds, beside a crisp Albariño. Read More

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are obviously very much in love. Now these two are admitting to something that shows their fans once again how great they are together and how much they love each other. On Thursday, New York Daily News shared what she had to say about their love letters to each other.
They have had to spend a lot of time apart from each other due to filming their movies in other countries. Brad and Angelina get along well and they miss each other when they aren't around. In a recent interview, Angelina spoke out about it and said, "We decided to be of that time when we could imagine he was in the European theatre and I was in the Pacific theater. We wrote handwritten letters to each other that were very connecting for us, thinking of the people that were separated for months if not years at a time back then. He was supportive from a distance, and it was quite romantic in a way."
Even though Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not actually married each other that hasn't stopped them from showing off their love. They are now engaged and raising their children together. At some point in time, fans will probably end up finding out about a surprise wedding because you know this couple will do it on their own terms.
It is great to see how close Brad and Angelina are with each other. There are probably other actors and actresses who still write hand-written letters to their loved ones, but with the way technology is now they are few and far between. Most people enjoy talking via text messages. Hopefully Brad and Angelina kept those letters and fans will get to see them someday.

Mark Hutson will serve as the interim head coach of the Green Wave for the remaining six games of the regular season.
Oct. 18, 2011
Video From Tuesday's Press Conference
Complete Transcript From Tuesday's Press Conference
New Orleans - Tulane University Director of Athletics Rick Dickson announced today that Bob Toledo has resigned as the head football coach of the Green Wave, effective immediately. Co-offensive coordinator Mark Hutson will be the interim head coach of the Green Wave for the remaining six regular season games. Tulane will begin a nationwide search for a new head football coach immediately.
"We are very appreciative of the job Bob and his staff did both on and off the field during their four and half seasons," Dickson said. "A transition like this is always difficult and we are very grateful that Bob and his assistants will ensure that the program can continue to move forward without interruption for the next six games."
Toledo, who was in his fifth season, was 15-40 as the Green Wave's head coach and 93-108 in 18 seasons as a collegiate head coach, but Tulane stumbled to a 2-5 overall record this season and fell to UTEP last week at home, 44-7. His best seasons came in 2010 and 2007 when he guided the Wave to a pair of four-win seasons. Tulane registered a 3-9 record in 2009 and was 2-10 in 2008.
"As we outlined last spring, the university has committed additional resources to athletics with the express purpose of enhancing our football program," Dickson said. Among those increases are overall budgets, academic support and salary pools. We are also making substantial progress in planning and fundraising for a new stadium to house the Green Wave. We will continue to work with the next head coach in every area to become successful."
"I want to thank Rick for giving me the opportunity to coach at Tulane," Toledo said. "I also want to thank my coaching staff for their hard work, dedication and loyalty, as well as the players. We worked extremely hard and I feel like we did our best. Our student-athletes performed superbly in the classroom and in the community and Tulane has some very talented players that will help this program become successful. I wish the team and coaches the best for the remainder of the season."
Hutson is no stranger to the interim role. Prior to Tulane, he served as the interim head coach at Eastern Illinois in 2006. Hutson guided the Panthers to a co-Ohio Valley Conference championship and No. 15 national ranking in the final poll. He was credited with a career coaching record of 8-5, 7-1 in the OVC. He also served as the Panthers offensive line coach and offensive coordinator.
Prior to joining the Panthers staff, Hutson served as the offensive line coach at The University of Tulsa from 2000-02.
Hutson entered the coaching profession as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma in 1990. He joined former Arkansas and current Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt's staff at Murray State in 1993, serving as the tight ends coach and special team's coordinator. Murray State won back-to-back OVC championships in 1995 and 1996 with a combined 22-3 record.
Hutson followed Nutt to Boise State for one year as the special teams and tight ends coach and then to Arkansas for two seasons. At Arkansas, he once again coached tight ends and special teams winning the Southeastern Conference Special Teams Coach of the Year Award. The Razorbacks made appearances in the 1998 Citrus Bowl and 1999 Cotton Bowl while Hutson was on the staff.
A two-time All-America lineman at Oklahoma (1986-87), he was a team captain and member of the Sooners' 1985 National Championship team, and made four consecutive Orange Bowl appearances (1985-88). He was named to the Oklahoma All-Century Team and named one of the Top 100 players in OU history. He was a three-time All-Big Eight selection and capped his career with an appearance in the 1988 Hula Bowl All-Star game in Hawaii.
Hutson was a third round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1988. After back surgery forced him into early retirement, he returned to OU and completed his bachelor's degree in communication in 1990.

Celeb news sites love to judge those who take a little toke every once in a while…although much of the Hollywood illuminati believe (like us) that weed is lot less harmful for one's body than alcohol. Besides, despite the fact that it's technically illegal, so many people smoke weed recreationally that it's not all that taboo. Here's a list of celebrities who not only smoke marijuana, but are completely open about it.
Zach Galifianakis lit up on the "Real Time with Bill Maher."
You can always count on Wiz Khalifa!
Steve O can make a bong out of anything.
We all know that Snoop is a HIGH TIMES hero.
Marilyn Monroe enjoyed a toke now and then.
Rihanna does it in style.
Cameron Diaz: Brazen and gorgeous.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was young once.
Lady Gaga smoked, then claimed to be addicted.

Students, Administration, and Trustees Actively Addressing Long-Term Strength of Fraternity System
by Rob Herzog
College's Leadership Program puts Wabash Men on the Ropes
"Listening to What Everyone Has to Say" First Goal For New Dean of Students"
Survey Shows Wabash Seniors More Satisfied Than Peers with Collegiate Experience
$2.4 Million Lilly Grant Allowing Wabash to Address State-Wide Problems in Higher Education
Pierce Klemmt's Baccalaureate Sermon
Web Special: Deon Miles' Commencement Address
The March meetings prompted immediate steps to begin to strengthen the position of the fraternities into the next century. The first initiative is this summer's fraternity fix-up, which will "bring [the fraternities] up to an acceptable level of repair," according to Dean of Students David Hadley. During the spring semester, the dean and associate dean, campus services, alumni advisors, and house managers performed a room-by-room assessment of items requiring repair in the nine college-owned houses. This walk-through resulted in a 1750-item list of needed repairs, ranging from changing light bulbs and fixtures to major plumbing work. Summer repair work began in the Lambda Chi Alpha house in late May and will finish with Tau Kappa Epsilon in August.
A second initiative is the development of training sessions by the Dean of Students, campus services, and the business office for fraternity presidents, treasurers, and house managers. These sessions will cover topics including budgeting, dues collection, using purchase orders, and work orders. The training sessions are expected to take place August 25-26 and in early September.
Trustee David Shane '70 says the recent meetings and subsequent plans of action mark a "resurgence of the balance freedom and responsibility in student living in the fraternities." He adds, "It was reaffirming to observe students, administration and alumni engaging in the traditional exploration of issues that takes place at Wabash...where students took the leadership role in identifying challenges and opportunities related to the care and responsibility for their Wabash homes."
According to Hadley, the recent activity to address outstanding fraternity issues will offer other benefits. "The College and the fraternities have an interest in developing a Greek residential system which will be competitive with the dorms and facilities offered at other schools." Including the fraternities in the College's campus facilities planning will be a strong step in that direction.
In addition to trustees Barnette and Shane, the members of the Ad Hoc Trustee Committee include Stephen Bowen '68, David Orr '57, Joseph Turk, and John Schroeder '69. Board President Charles Goering '51 also participated in the meetings.

The past few weeks in WWE has been tense and controversial, that is due to events that occurred outside the ring like superstar CM Punk walking out on the company as it starts it's important build to Wrestlemania on April 6th. This move by Punk has many fan crying foul, thinking that it's a huge loss to the WWE at a critical time. Though it is indeed a setback, it is not going to derail WWE is the major way that some fans think. Pro Wrestling Examiner breaks it down with a 5 point argument for why WWE is going "OK" at this year's Wrestlemania without Punk on the roster for the foreseeable future.
Daniel Bryan and his current status as the hottest name in sports entertainment is the biggest reason WWE can move on effectively without CM Punk.The Yes Movement is rocking at full finger-pumping power especially after the Royal Rumble. The bearded superstar lost in the opening match on the PPV card against Bray Wyatt, but fans at Pittsburgh's sold-out Consol Energy Center were chanting his name all night long. The Yesamaniacs even booed the Royal Rumble winner Batista who had just returned to the company. They wanted DBry as the winner of the Rumble, and they did not get it. Fans quickly took the internet and made the dialogue about the Rumble about Daniel Bryan being held back.
The next night on RAW, Daniel Bryan got right into WWE authority figure Triple H's face and called him out for failing to give the fans what they wanted. Though Bryan is set to compete for the WWE World title inside the Elimination Chamber on pay per view on Sunday February 23rd, the writing is on the wall. Triple H will try to hold down Daniel Bryan one more time at Wrestlemania 30 on April 6th, at least that what it looks like.
For a good chunk of 2013, Triple H and the Authority have held Daniel Bryan back by screwing him out of WWE Championships on multiple occasions. For whatever reason, CM Punk who has been a rebel against the 'WWE machine' in the past started to verbalize a feud with Triple H and his corporate power role. Now with Punk out of the picture, Daniel Bryan can pick up where he left off in late 2013.
John Cena is the most popular pro wrestler in the world and wrestles for WWE. He will continue to wrestle for WWE during this challenging time with CM Punk out of action. Now Punk's legion of fans may not consider themselves members of the Cenation, but Cena can still move the needle for WWE on television and live events while being a divisive figure.
Cena will reportedly face off with the demented Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 30. This will be the greatest challenge for the still very new to the roster Wyatt and a fresh challenger for Cena as the top man. The pairing has a strong line drawn between who to boo and who to cheer, there is very little shades of gray here.
There is parade of past legends coming to WWE due in part to the launch of the WWE Network which will utilize classic wrestling footage from pro wrestling's past. Dejected CM Punk followers can take solace that they will get to see legendary names like the Ultimate Warrior and Jake 'the Snake' Roberts get their moment in the sun on the night before Wrestlemania when they get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. There is active rumors that former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sting will finally join WWE for the first time. Hulk Hogan having a role at Wrestlemania has been widely reported for months, too.
The Undertaker breaks from hibernation around this time every year to defend the white whale of WWE, 'the streak'. Taker's 21-0 undefeated streak at Wrestlemania is one of the most outstanding parts of Wrestlemania every year, and this year will be another feature on the biggest show of the year. Undertaker defeating CM Punk last year at WM29 stole the show from Hollywood heavyweight Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson and John Cena in the main event. Undertaker bound for another fight to sustain his glory in a rumored bout at WM30 against former UFC and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.
One star goes away, another rises to take it's place. WWE has several talented midcard wrestlers who can make their star burn brighter with Punk out of the picture. The young and hungry in WWE like Dolph Ziggler, Damian Sandow, and WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston are now at a starting line to race to cover that spot that Punk now leaves open in the semi-main event level.

Tobe Carey, creator of the films Deep Water, The Catskill Mountain House and Sweet Violets, announced today that his latest regional history title: "Rails to the Catskills", will premier on June 1st, at 4 p.m. (with an encore presentation on June 8th) at the Mountain Cinema Doctorow Arts Center, Hunter, N.Y.
This full-length feature film chronicles Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountain transportation history from the canals of the 1820s, through the small railroad boom that opened the region to industry and tourism in the 19th and 20th centuries, and finally to the last vestiges of this immense history, the Ulster & Delaware RR, that unique to the Catskills tourism magnet that local government seeks to destroy.
Railroads covered in this exhaustive history include: Canajoharie & Catskill, the Catskill Mountain/Otis
Elevating, the Ulster & Delaware, Wallkill Valley, New York West Shore & Buffalo, New York, Ontario & Western, and Delaware & Northern. Additionally, the history of the Delaware & Hudson Canal and the various trollies that served as urban connectors are included for a complete overview of public transportation history in the region.
The film uses photographs, contemporary video, animated maps, rail-fan and vintage films from historical societies, museums, libraries, and private collections to illustrate how vital railroads were and still are to the region's economy and identity. These images are anchored by interviews with noted railroad historians and photographers, including, Gene Dauner, Dale Flansburg, Bob Haines, John M. Ham, William Helmer, PhD, Evan Jennings, and Robert Mohowski, many of whom are authors in their own right.
Seating is limited. Please contact the premier sponsor, Mountain-Top Historical Society, for tickets. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 518 589-6657.
Willow Mixed Media is a not-for-profit arts organization whose documentaries include films about Catskills/Hudson Valley history and issues of social concern. For more information please contact the author, Tobe Carey. Email email@example.com or call 845 657-2914

No invitation to a picnic? Or fireworks? Weather keeping you inside?
Or even if you have all of those options but would rather spend your weekend in your pajamas eating junk food and staring at the television screen, here are some great movies choices to celebrate your freedom to watch a darn movie even if the sun is out.
American has a great history of patriotism on film. Whether it's the story of American actors who left their careers to enlist in World War II or the stories that have been told over and over of the fight to gain, and retain, the freedom that makes this country great. The silver screen has done a good, and sometimes bad, job of telling that story.
What you think good or bad is for you to decide. Here's a list of ten options.
Because, this is America.
Independence Day
Independence Day
Directed by Roland Emmerich
Starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell, Judd Hirsch, Robert Loggia and Randy Quaid
When aliens invade the earth, humankind shows that their best weapon is the will to survive. Besides, didn't you always want Bill Pullman to be your President?
Academy Award winner for Best Effects/Visual Effects
Nominated for Best Sound
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
- President Thomas Whitmore (Pullman)

The west was won by its pioneers, settlers, adventurers is long gone now. Yet it is theirs forever, for they left tracks in history that will never be eroded by wind or rain - never plowed under by tractors, never buried in compost of events. Out of the hard simplicity of their lives, out of their vitality, of their hopes and sorrows grew legends of courage and pride to inspire their children and their children's children. From soil enriched by their blood, out of their fever to explore and be, came lakes where once there were burning deserts - came the goods of the earth; mine and wheat fields, orchards and great lumber mills. All the sinews of a growing country. Out of their rude settlements, their trading posts came cities to rank among the great ones of the world. All the heritage of a people free to dream, free to act, free to mold their own destiny.
-final narrative by Spencer Tracy

For those that didn't win; keep following my journals.
There are more giveaways and features coming in the near future
Like some of my old watchers know, I have a premium membership giveaway for watchers at the end of every year.
In most of the previous giveaways, I always asked my followers for a good reason why they'd want a premium membership. I used to read all of the messages, and picked the one that touched me most.
However, with the current amount of watchers and messages I get on a daily basis, I realize this will be hard to keep track of. Let alone picking just a one from that huge group of people. Because I'm sure there are many of you that have interesting story's, and all of you have your reasons to want such a membership.
That's why, this year, I'm going to do it in a different way.
If you want to join, read along!
What will I give away?
One 12-month premium membership.
You'll be a premium member for the entire next year!
How do I join?
You need to do the following in order to join the giveaway.
Watch me. This giveaway is for my followers only.

Until when can I enter
You can enter until December 24 2013
How will the winner be chosen
Like with the 10.000 watchers giveaway, the winner will be chosen from the comments at random.
He/she has to be a watcher, though. And has to had left a reasonable comment (No spamming -- I had that a lot at the previous giveaway)
Does it matter how long I've watched you?
Not at all. Every watcher is equal.
Can I give my membership to someone else?
Nope. The person that comments get the membership. If you want one of your friends to win it, tell them about this giveaway.
