Anime and Manga
- Bleach: Action Girl Yoruichi. She used to have short hair, but a hundred years spent mostly as a cat allowed her hair to grow out. Now she spends most of the time with it tied back in a ponytail while she kicks butt with the best of the men. Since her extremely high aristocratic rank wasn't quite high enough to be a Rebellious Princess, she also doubles as a Spirited Young Lady, too.
- Subverted in the Pretty Cure franchise. Every team has at least one character with a ponytail who is mostly a white or blue Cures. And those said Cures are actually the most feminine members, though that doesn't stop being an (competent) Action Girl. The only blue Cures who don't have a ponytail in their Cure forms are Cure Marine (Erika) and Cure Beauty (Reika), but they wear sometimes ponytails in their civilian identities. Notably, Reika wears a ponytail whenever she practices kyudo. The pink Cure Blossom and the yellow Cure Peace have also a ponytail, but both are Shrinking Violets, while the pink Cure Heart is at least described as prince in her civilian identity, twice, both by a female and a male. The only ones who play this tropes straight are Cure Sword and especially Cure March who has also one in her civilian identity.
- In The Movie, Reika cosplays Momotaro and wears a ponytail.
Comic Books
- Betty Cooper from Archie Comics, as the Tomboy to Veronica's Girly Girl. Originally she wore her hair down but when she became more tomboyish she switched to a ponytail. She's quite handy with mechanics, probably made most obvious in Archie Comics (2015).
Fan Works
- Once More with Feeling: Asuka wears a ponytail -from episode 11 onward-. She's loud, brash, hot-blooded, aggressive, loves fighting and isn't at all feminine.
- Bait and Switch (STO): Captain Kanril Eleya wears her hair in a slightly messy ponytail, and notes in her narration that she could have never gotten away with wearing her hair that long when she was an enlisted woman. The ponytail keeps the hair out of her face, but it's not like there's much she can get it caught in on a starship's bridge.
- Doing It Right This Time: Asuka starts wearing a ponytail when she decides to ditch her hairclips and try a new hairstyle. She's also masculine, brash, and she prefers fighting over stereotypically girlish hobbies.
- In a deviation from the comics, the version of Wonder Woman in the New 52-based movies in the DC Universe Original Animated Movies line starting with Justice League: War has her hair in a ponytail, along with Tomboyish Sidetails.
Films-Live Action
- In Mean Girls Ponytails are usually used in the film to signify a character being less concerned with their appearance. Cady wore her hair like this before she joined the Plastics but starts wearing her hair down as she falls in with the Plastics, and then goes back to the occasional ponytail after her Heel Realization. The Plastics actually tell her that they have a rule about only wearing hair in a ponytail once a week. Janis, the goth/alternative outcast, always wears her hair back. All the Plastics wear their hair down throughout the film, but Regina starts sporting a ponytail as she gains weight and is forced to wear less glamorous clothing. She is also wearing a ponytail at the end of the film, where she is a lacrosse athlete and has a more down-to-earth wardrobe.
- The spunky Action Girl Kate from The Mysterious Benedict Society has her blonde hair constantly tied in a ponytail. She is a very agile and energetic Circus Brat so the ponytail is likely for convenience.
Video Games
- Lara Croft from Tomb Raider may be the Trope Codifier for video games, especially 3D action/platformers. It's not only practical in-universe for the highly-physical nature of what she does in the games, but flowing hair is still incredibly difficult to render in 3D, while a ponytail can be done with much simpler physics modeling.
- Hilda (Touko in the Japanese version), the female player character in Pokémon Black and White, has a huge, voluminous ponytail, complete with Hair Antennae. Her look gives off a convincing Tomboyish feel, and fan interpretation commonly presents her as One of the Boys/a Lad-ette.
- Lip of Panel de Pon, also a Tomboy Princess, has a very large and thick ponytail tied back with a big pink ribbon. Her Attract Mode bio even describes her as being "a bit of a tomboy".
Visual Novels
- Mion of Higurashi: When They Cry wears her hair in a long ponytail. Mion is boisterous, perverted, and usually exhibits little in terms of femininity. She calls herself an "old man" regularly and in one arc Keiichi decides against giving her a doll (and instead gives it to their more feminine, mutual friend Rena) because he deems her too boyish for one. In contrast, her more girly identical twin sister Shion wears her hair loose. Mion is actually a subversion. She's much more feminine than she pretends to be. Keiichi giving Rena the doll upset Mion so much she ended up sobbing to her sister, which unwittingly caused Shion to become a Serial Killer.
Web Original
- Widget of the Whateley Universe, who is a tomboy and inventor who usually wears a ponytail pulled through a bicycle cap. And a Whateley labcoat. Despite that, she has a bad crush on Thunderbird and wishes Chaka hadn't snatched up Thunderbird when he was (apparently) available.
Western Animation
- Applejack, a rough and tumble farmgirl from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, with a tomboyish streak a mile wide, to the point that she competes in events like racing and gate jumping, and gets dirty in her job all the time, has her mane tied up in a ponytail.

The story of Jason and the Argonauts and Homer's tales of Ulysses are among the greatest ancient epics, but are they merely nautical legends or true stories?
Mauricio Obregón has combed through classical texts, focusing on the smallest details, and with his intimate knowledge of historical navigation, brilliantly reenacts the voyages the ancient heroes actually traveled. Using the clues embedded in these epic tales, Obregón deftly argues that many of the legends are not merely fiction, but are, quite possibly, true adventures.
"The book, which exudes an almost bewitching charm, lends itself to a wide readership interested in seafaring and its lore." —Publishers Weekly
History is a symphony of myths and legends. From the beginning, man's intelligence sketched the myths that would enable him to explain what he discovered, and from these myths collective memory built the legends that would make it possible to pass on the story.
When the Argonauts sailed east across the Black Sea to the Caucasus, and Odysseus west to the Pillars of Hercules, they broadened the limits of an earthbound sea already teeming with myths; and their adventures were handed down from generation to generation until Homer's poetry molded them at last into history. When the Polynesians sailed east across the Pacific to Easter Island and west across the Indian Ocean to Madagascar, their legends also went with them, but, unfortunately, they lacked a bard. Greeks and Polynesians, two antipodal peoples, explored more than half the world, yet they never met. They were very different, but their gods and their stars had much in common, for man seems to find similar solutions to similar problems wherever he may be.
The Greeks lived in walled cities, usually dominated by an acropolis, and their homes looked inward, not at the street but at an enclosed courtyard. The Polynesians, on the other hand, lived under wide thatched roofs, held up by open colonnades of palm wood. Their villages stood near the beach and generally included a house for meetings and for visitors, the manaeba. Though the Greeks watched jealously over their families and their property, the Polynesians usually owned at most a palm mat on which to sleep, with perhaps a small coffer at its head for a few belongings; all the rest was owned by the tribe. The Greeks buried their dead deep under great tumuli, such as can still be seen in Mycenae; the Polynesians buried them in small tombs right in front of their houses, and their children played on the tombs.
Each people sailed in character with the way each lived. The prudent Greeks usually sailed along coasts or toward the visible peaks of high islands, preferably in daytime and in summer. At night, or when the weather threatened, they pulled their ships up on the beach, singing to the rhythm of the waves, which helped raise the ship out of the water. (Caribbean fishermen still do this.) The Polynesians, on the contrary, were blue-water sailors, always ready to probe the deep.
Homer's world was a green ring of earth surrounding the known seas, the eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean. Around this world roared the Infinite Ocean, which fed the seas through two Rivers of Ocean, one from the east, where Helios, the Sun, rose from the Elysian Fields, and the other from the west, where he descended into Hades. The Polynesians' world, on the other hand, was the all-encompassing Ocean.
Mythology and its daughter, science, have always known whence life first came. To those who listen, the Gregorian chant of the waves speaks as clearly of gods as does the multitudinous rocking of the atoms, and it was out of the Infinite Ocean that the gods arose. In Babylon and in Egypt, Nun and Apsú floated above the all-encircling waters. In Hesiod's theogony and in Homer, Gaia, the Earth, and Uranus, the Sky, were born of Ocean, which was chaos, and engendered all the gods. For Polynesians it all began with Io, the waters; and the waters begot Rangui, the heavens, and Paapa, the earth. Even in Genesis, the Spirit of God moved first over the waters. And the Kogi Indians, Colombia's great mythologists, begin their story of creation with these words: "When all was dark, our mother was the Sea."
Having flown formation with an eagle down the god-infested canyon of Delphi, I myself need no further evidence for the ancient legends, and Homer's gods are easy to understand. But they are difficult to explain because the very word God obstructs the explanation in modern terms. The Greek gods are not otherworldly spirits but an integral part of society, an essentially feudal one in which everyone is subject to a superior being, or master of an inferior. There are servants, squires, chieftains, kings, tutelary spirits, nymphs, demigods, and gods; and within this framework one might do better to speak of "overlords" than of gods.
Since they form part of a tightly knit hierarchy, the Greek gods are always present to illuminate everyday things like bread and wine and death, with that transcendence necessary to sanity that we so lack today. When they want to be equivocal they use omens and signs, such as those that are interpreted through bird lore; but when they wish to be clearly understood they simply disguise themselves as men or women and speak. There is no question as to the gods' existence; the only question concerns their unpredictable behavior, for they are imperfect gods, and therefore quite real. One might say that whereas we have to make do with an imperfect faith in a perfect God, the Greeks were more comfortable with their perfect faith in imperfect gods. It is always difficult to seek perfection without first making one's peace with imperfection.
These imperfect gods act exactly as such, their always human reactions simply magnified by their wonderful powers, unlimited by the laws of nature but often limited by the desires and actions of another god. This has quite distinct advantages, not the least of which is that the gods, in order to avoid chaos, must enter into contracts or covenants not only with one another but also with men, thus laying the foundation for all subsequent justice by simple do ut des (tit for tat). This tradition lasts all the way to the covenants that underlie the Jewish, the Christian, and the Muslim faiths. In a world thus ordered, men also live according to a series of bilateral agreements with other men and simply pay the price whenever an agreement is broken, or, in the last resort, blame the gods. They can afford to live by a moral code (mores means "manners") rather than by what we would call ethics, and they can be virtuous and noble for reasons more sensible than the nagging avoidance of a sense of guilt. Revenge is to be feared more than guilt, and since an offense only breaks a bilateral contract, a third party such as the state can be quite lenient. We, on the other hand, always seem ready to unload our problems on the state and to throw morals out of the window, the young bent on replacing manners with fashion; the old, morals with money.
With the gods, a Greek minds his manners by offering the proper sacrifices at the proper times, which is pleasant because these ceremonies always include good food and drink for all. The word sacrifice does not imply denial; it simply means "to make sacred," and the ancients, while sacrificing, usually thought more of pleasure, while we think instinctively of pain. With his fellow men, a Greek minds his manners by willing observance of the laws of hospitality, which assume a joyously sacramental value because all strangers are wards of Zeus; by respecting his neighbor's property, his wife, and his slaves; and by giving the dead proper burial so that they may expediently cross the River.
Jason's and Odysseus' gods belonged to a third generation. Cronos, the Titan, had long since emasculated Uranus, his father, whose severed genitals had struck from the surf off Cyprus the spark that became Aphrodite, goddess of passion. In the next generation, Odysseus' patron, Athena, the goddess of intelligence, was born out of a Libyan lagoon while her father, Zeus, devoured her mother, Metis, the goddess of wisdom, so that Athena, like Aphrodite, would belong only to her father. In myth, as in everyday life, order and disorder must work together, Athena to bring light to men's eyes and Aphrodite to blind them.
Zeus loved not only goddesses but also women, and from these and from many other heaven-and-earth unions came a great court of demigods, nymphs, and sirens, among whom two great families stand out, those of the first heroes. Our very simplified family tree of the gods shows that those who adorn the earth and the sea with their adventures, like Odysseus, are descended from Hermes, the messenger, the voyager; and those whose caution leads them to treachery, like Jason, are descended from Poseidon, the treacherous sea.
Though the Polynesians left no epic poems, it is clear from their legends that their gods acted in much the same way as those of the Greeks. Rangui, the heavens, and Paapa, the earth, begot Tawhiri, god of storms; Tane, god of forests; Tangaroa, who stirred up the oceans and separated the fish (ika) from the reptiles (tute), and Tuu the warrior, forefather of man (Tiki) and woman (Hiné), whom he created out of red earth. His descendant, Mauí, would be the Polynesians' Odysseus. These second-generation gods of Polynesia were locked with their brothers and sisters in the dark embrace of their parents, and like the Titans of Greece, they decided to dethrone their progenitors. Together, they forced them apart, and ever since, at daybreak, the fragrance of Paapa's breast rises to heaven, and Rangui's lonely tears fall to earth as dew. Our diagram of Greek and Polynesian gods shows how strikingly similar they were. There were, of course, exceptions; gods enjoy exceptions.
A Polynesian legend tells us that the chief of one of the islands passed on after bequeathing his crown to whichever of his sons won a great prau race. When preparations were being made on the beach, his widow, Liktanur, came down with a long bundle under her arm and asked to be taken along. None of her sons agreed to be burdened with this "excess baggage" except the youngest, Jabro, whose chance of winning was nil. Off paddled the praus with Jabro bringing up the rear, until a breeze sprang up astern. Then Liktanur unpacked her bundle and brought out two long bamboo poles, some coconut-fiber ropes, and a triangular palm mat, which she rigged as a sail. Then she taught Jabro how to sail with the wind and how to steer with his paddle. Amazed, and paddling like mad, the eldest brother, Timur, saw Jabro's prau sail ahead to win the race in three days. Ever since, Polynesians have used the claw sail.
Another legend tells us that Mauí was stillborn because his father, Makea, forgot his prayers. Mauí was buried on the beach at the edge of the sea but was rescued and revived by the sorceress Hiné. When he grew up, he "went into" her, and he went out again only when he heard the song of a bird, and discovered death. Then he took a fire nail, which he had inherited from his ancestors (Mahu), and started such a conflagration that the god Tawhiri had to send enough rain to flood the world.
One day, Mauí got tired of being left behind when his older brothers went fishing and decided to hide under the floorboards of their prau. Once at sea, his brothers did not dare pitch him overboard, so they let him throw out a magic fishhook made out of a jawbone, which his godmother Muri-Ranga had given him, and it took Mauí only a few minutes to get a bite. But when he tried to pull in his catch, he could not move it, not even with the help of his brothers, who complained that the rising sun was in their eyes. Finally Mauí's catch came out of the water, and it was . . . an island! From then on Mauí was always invited along, and whenever he threw out his magic fishhook, he brought up another island, always with the rising sun in his eyes. When someone doubts this legend, Polynesians ask: "If Mauí did not fish up the islands, why are there seashells on their summits?"
Because the rising sun was always in their eyes, Mauí decided to tie it down, but he only succeeded in slowing its transit. The sun, in fact, lags behind the stars about a day every year, a good example of how the legends explained not only earthly phenomena, such as the Polynesian migration through the islands, but also astronomic facts useful for navigation (the Polynesian name for the sun ends in "-ra," like the name the ancient Egyptians gave it).
Mauricio Obregón had a distinguished career as a scholar and sailor. He was a member of Harvard's Board of Overseers for six years. He retraced, under sail and by light plane, fourteen voyages of discovery, from the Argonauts to Magellan. He published a half dozen books, including The Caribbean As Columbus Saw It with coauthor Samuel Eliot Morison. He lived in Bogotá, where he died in 1998.

leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) though the ear. It is a rare but very serious condition that requires rapid intervention. Symptoms include leak of clear fluid through the ear, inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain (meningitis), hearing loss, and seizures. The cause of a spinal fluid leak through the ear is a defect of the bone and meningeal layers covering the brain that separate the subarachnoid space of the brain from the middle ear and mastoid bone (located just behind the ear). The leaks occur after a surgery in the base of the skull, temporal bone fractures, congenital defects of the inner ear, trauma, or they may be spontaneous. Treatment depends on the cause and may include antibiotics, compression dressing and surgery.[1][2]Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea is the

Seed Banks
Cannabis Seed Banks
The cannabis industry is as big as it has ever been and there are many companies around the world producing cannabis seeds and creating unique and special strains at any time. With such a large variety of weed seed banks to choose from it can be a daunting task trying to select the right one so we suggest doing as much research as possible to find the attributes you are looking for. DNA Genetics, for example, are a great choice if you are looking for a modern, highly engineered and potent strain of cannabis. Another great pot breeder is Barney's Farm Seed Bank, who offer a great selection of high quality, popular weed strains. If you're looking for medical marijuana specialists then a great seed bank to check out is the CBD Crew who lead the industry in creating strains with high-CBD content. Of course, every seed bank offers something a little different, so there's no need to restrict yourself to the products of just one.
The top seed banks offer their own unique strains as well as the most popular seeds available and many have won awards for their creations. Winning a Cannabis Cup confirms the high quality of a strain's genetics and makes these seeds highly collectable and worth keeping a hold of! Read through the descriptions which can be found for each pot seed below and make an informed decision. There is a lot of extra information about each seed bank we stock from both on SeedSupreme (this website) and elsewhere online. Enjoy!

First baseman Ike Davis is out of Saturday's lineup so utility infielder Justin Turner can get some at-bats, according to manager Terry Collins. Davis is batting just .172 and with a lefty on the hill for Arizona, it made sense to get the slumping first baseman a day off.
"We need to get the offense going so it's kind of a two-fold thing," Collins said. "I got to get Justin Turner going. I was just telling the TV guys one of the most important guys we brought up last year was Justin Turner and the job he did. You never know when something happens and he's thrown into the lineup and I got to make sure that he's getting some at-bats."
Davis went 0-for-4 Friday and rolled his ankle in the loss, but said his ankle was fine Saturday. Turner is batting just .231 with three RBIs, and only has six at-bats in the team's last 10 games. The manager believes that his first baseman is being accountable about his slump.
"I don't know if he's ever had a slump, to be honest. He got to the big leagues in less than years," Collins said. "He went through the minor leagues without having to deal with the failure and now here he is. He's facing the toughest time of his career at the major-league level. That's very difficult to do, not even talking about the media market we're in, so you know what, we grind it out here. We grind it out and get going."
IT DOESN'T MATTER: Starter Johan Santana enters Saturday's game looking for his first win of the season, despite holding a 2.25 ERA. Santana has been the victim of bad run support, with the Mets scoring 12 runs in his five starts.
While some pitchers might worry about their win-loss record, as Santana is 0-2, Collins said Santana is not caught up in his personal record. Santana has been able to keep the Mets in all but one of his starts this season.
"He's dealt in the past with no run support and knows exactly how to go about it," Collins said. "I know one thing about him, when he's out there, whether he's out there for five innings, seven innings, or nine innings, it's all effort. It's all about doing what's best for the team and that's all he talks about. All he talks about is trying to win baseball games."
OTHER NOTES: Collins said Andres Torres' 3-for-4 outing on Friday was the best game since the center fielder returned from the disabled list on April 30. … Collins went to Parnell in the seventh inning Friday instead of Ramon Ramirez because Parnell had been throwing well and was the fresher arm of the two. … Saturday is the last day Miguel Batista will be available in the bullpen before his start on Tuesday, and a pitcher will be called up Sunday. D. J. Carrasco, on a rehab assignment, is in the mix.

100g (4oz) Parmesan cheese
25g (1oz) mature Cheddar cheese
You will need two 5cm (2in) cookie cutters and a large baking tray lined with baking parchment.
Preheat oven to 180C/350F/M4.
Mix the two cheeses together, whizzing them in the chopper.
Place the cookie cutters far apart on the baking tray. This allows for the mix to spread.
Scoop up a tablespoon of grated cheese, level it off and sprinkle into a cookie cutter, using a knife to tickle the cheese out evenly.
Repeat, moving the cutters as you go along, until the cheese mixture is used up.
Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Cool on the tray.
Store in an airtight container, interleaved with paper towel.

I like the turmeric in this, I've never had it before. We always make a relish potato salad. The salad was not overly sweet and NOT swimming in mayonnaise so it gets 2 extra stars for that. :) I made half of this recipe. I brought my water to a boil, put the potatoes in and set timer for 18 minutes. They came out perfect. Steamed my eggs for 12 minutes. Thank you for posting. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game

If I want to construct a std::string with a line like:
std::string my_string("a\0b");
Where i want to have three characters in the resulting string (a, null, b), I only get one. What is the proper syntax?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The problem is the
To compensate for this, you need to use the constructor that builds the string from a char array (not a C-String). This takes two parameters - a pointer to the array and a length:
Note: C++
Also check out Doug T's answer below about using a
If you are doing manipulation like you would with a c-style string (array of chars) consider using
You have more freedom to treat it like an array in the same manner you would treat a c-string. You can use copy() to copy into a string:
and you can use it in many of the same places you can use c-strings
Naturally, however, you suffer from the same problems as c-strings. You may forget your null terminal or write past the allocated space.
I have no idea why you'd want to do such a thing, but try this:
The following will work...
User-defined literals in C++11, a much needed addition or making C++ even more bloated? presents an elegant answer: Define
then you can create your string this way:
or even so:
There's an "old style" way:
then you can define
You'll have to be careful with this. If you replace 'b' with any numeric character, you will silently create the wrong string using most methods. See: C++ string literals escape character.
For example, I dropped this innocent looking snippet in the middle of a program
Here is what this program output for me:
That was my first print statement twice, several non-printing characters, followed by a newline, followed by something in internal memory, which I just overwrote (and then printed, showing that it has been overwritten). Worst of all, even compiling this with thorough and verbose gcc warnings gave me no indication of something being wrong, and running the program through valgrind didn't complain about any improper memory access patterns. In other words, it's completely undetectable by modern tools.
You can get this same problem with the much simpler
Fortunately, C++11 gives us a good solution to the problem using initializer list syntax. This saves you from having to specify the number of characters (which, as I showed above, you can do incorrectly), and avoids combining escaped numbers.
Better to use std::vector<char> if this question isn't just for educational purposes.
In C++14 you now may use literals
I know it is a long time this question has been asked. But for anyone who is having a similar problem might be interested in the following code.
Almost all implementations of std::strings are null-terminated, so you probably shouldn't do this. Note that "a\0b" is actually four characters long because of the automatic null terminator (a, null, b, null). If you really want to do this and break std::string's contract, you can do:
but if you do, all your friends will laugh at you, you will never find true happiness.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Similar to the International Panel on Climate Change, this new panel will tackle global social challenges including inequality, the future of work, and global socio-economic governance. The panel is led by a council, which includes several Nobel Prize winners.
The panel, coordinated by Princeton University, will release a report in 2017 - "Rethinking Society for the 21st Century". Professor Volkmer will be lead author in the area of democracy and public spheres in a globalised context. The Panel on Social Progress approached Professor Volkmer based on her expertise in globalized political communication and her book, The Global Public Sphere, published by Polity (Cambridge, UK) in 2014. A London School of Economics academic review described the book as a "landmark work of scholarship for the age of communicative globalization".
The Panel's secretariat commented on Professor Volkmer's invitation: "Your academic stature and great competence on transnational public sphere and the media motivates our invitation, as we are trying to gather the highest level of experience for this project."
Volkmer said she was honoured to join the Panel. "This is an outstanding opportunity to contribute to policy-making on a global level," she said.

This lovely sampler lifts tracks from various @Rounder recordings to present an intriguing look at the contemporary old-time music scene, the end result of which is a soothing, graceful tour through a world that raises nostalgia to a living, breathing art. When the folk revival of the 1960s brought old-time Appalachian and Deep South traditions to the attention of young urban musicians, it essentially rescued those traditions for the future, and musicians playing this kind of thing since have tended to follow one of two arcs, either working to preserve the music (the New Lost City Ramblers would be a perfect example) or to reinvent it for the current age (as Tony Trischka has attempted to do with his various ensembles), or even, as groups like Dry Branch Fire Squad have done, fold it into the umbrella of bluegrass while still retaining the old-time sensibilities. What matters most, whatever path to the river is chosen, is that the music and its melodies have survived, and since the success of movies like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Cold Mountain, both of which featured old-time music soundtracks, they have even flourished and flirted with the pop charts. Come to the Mountain has a lovely, seamlessly unfolding sequence, highlighted by the gorgeous title tune, done by the Putnam String County Band (which can boast having both fiddler Jay Ungar and Ramblers founder John Cohen as members). Other standout tracks here include Dirk Powell and Jim Miller's sprightly and spare "Hop High My Lulu Gal," Corey Harris' "Station Blues" (a version of "Sitting On Top of the World" that features Shardé Thomas and the Rising Star Fife Drum Band), and Dry Branch Fire Squad's signature bluegrassstring band hybrid sound on "Walking Back to Richmond." Far from feeling like a reenactment, the music on Come to the Mountain feels vital, fluid, and alive. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Our specification is motivated by the requirements for building "partition-aware" applications that can continue operating without blocking in multiple concurrent partitions and can reconfigure themselves dynamically when partitions merge. The specified service guarantees liveness and excludes trivial solutions, it constitutes a useful basis for building realistic partition-aware applications, and it is implementable in practical asynchronous distributed systems where certain stability conditions hold

Completely furnished in a casual, comfortable decor, this townhome features ceiling fans in every room and air conditioning in the bedrooms. Enjoy the friendly atmosphere around the BBQ's while cooking dinner and swapping ideas, stories and information with your fellow guests..
The condo is constantly upgraded. The kitchen has been remodelled and is fully equipped for every cooking need. We've added amenities such as high speed cable internet and Wi/Fi, flat screen TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, beach chairs, picnic supplies, washer/drier, etc. There are two twin beds in the main floor bedroom (that may be 'converted' to a King), a queen bed in the master bedroom upstairs and a queen sofabed in the living area.
The developement has a tennis court, 2 swimming pools, 2 large 4 pit BBQ's, a commercial laumdry facility, as well as spacious landscaped grounds. It is located directly across from Kamaole III State Beach Park, which is known as one of the most beautiful and safe beaches on Maui with lifeguards on duty. It is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, body surfing, sunning, jogging, picnicking, kite flying and especially sunsets and whale watching.
Kihei is located on the sunny, rain shadowed southwest corner of Maui about 25 minutes from the Kahului Airport. Hale Kamaole is one and a half miles north of Wailea, a beautiful development which features magnficent 18 hole golf courses, shops, boutiques, restaurants, Polynesian entertainment, and the amenities of several luxury resort hotels. The Ocean Activities Center (Aquarium), Lahaina, and Kaanapali attractions are also within an easy drive.
We consider Maui our second home and hope you will choose to become our next satisfied guest so you can leave your comments in our condo guest book and on our website. Until then, much Aloha to you and yours..
Keywords: Hale Kamaole is a low rise, low density garden type complex with 8 buildings in a 'U' shape with lawns and gardens, swimming pools and BBQ's in the center of the 'U' and the open end of the 'U' facing the ocean. The pairs of condo stacks (a 2BR condo atop 1 or 2 1 BR condos) are angled toward the ocean for maximum views. The complex is kept in excellent condition by the maintenance staff and gardeners.
We came to Maui the first time with friends many years ago and discovered it is a great place for both adults and children. We returned later in the year with the kids and loved it. The third visit to Maui we spent a lot of time looking at other properties and decided we liked Hale Kamaole best. The central garden area is ideal for children to play away from auto traffic.The whole atmosphere of Hale Kamaole and the attitude of the owners has made it the well maintained and beautiful complex it is.
Relaxing, swimming in the pools and ocean, walking the beaches. Dining out and Sunday Brunches at Makena Beach and Golf resort with friends.
Excellent vacation, and the condo was perfect and we'll equiped.
Two couples shared this well equipped condo with ocean views the month of February.
We lacked nothing and found the area suited our needs,close to the beach,near grocery stores and excellent dining within walking distance.
The whales greeted us most mornings while having coffee on the lanai.
We recommend this condo highly and have to say the complex is well managed.
Great location, close to everything. Lovely unit, perfect to share as we each had our own bedrooms & bathrooms. Have stayed in many different condos in Kehei & none have had as nicely stocked kitchen as this one from knives to pots to dishes. Beautiful views from the lanai. So much fun at the bar-b-que, you not only cook your meal but you meet up with old friends & make new ones, it's a fun event not a chore. The owners of the unit are super people who want your stay to be the best it can be! Can't wait to go back!!!!
We had a lovely holiday in this comfortable, convenient condo. A five condo family holiday gave us a fair comparison and we had one of the best. Hale Kamaole is a well kept site with friendly staff and lovely gardens. The nearby beach gave pleasure to all with snorkelling, swimming or just basking. Really a great home away from home.
WE stayed in this property for 3 weeks during Nov/Dec/2011 and returned this year for 4 weeks.Nov19 to Dec.17,2012. This suite was ideal for our family needs. The outlook to the southwest gives you a view of the sun setting;breathtaking.
The availability of WI Fi,3 Televisions,fully serviced kitchen,new furniture and the essentials of home complete the package.The property is well managed and the staff most helpful.
Summary: We had three generations of family during our stay,and everyone enjoyed the facility and the nearness of the beaches and other attractions.
Beautiful place. Loved being able to cook in suite & have breakfast every morning on the balcony. Very spacious & felt like home (only warmer & more tropical). Great pool & very close beach access.Quiet & relaxing, a true vacation spot & fabulous honeymoon memories!

The Reading Room is one of those movies that we need more of. It has a warm family feel to it. It restores the humanity that we all need to counter the selfishness that saturates life today. Instead of confirming that life is cheap, and that it's all about me...it adds value to the gift and blessings that come from sharing and giving freely towards the needs of others. You never know when you might be attending to an angel...(smile).2 thumbs up and 5 stars for this one. Thanks to all involved. This one is for family, and is one of the must see's.
This is an excellent movie that has a wonderful meaning. This is a must see for those that want to find a way to give back to the community.

Product Description
From Amazon
Inheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene. Suppose, instead of thinking about organisms using genes to reproduce themselves, as we had since Mendel's work was rediscovered, we turn it around and imagine that "our" genes build and maintain us in order to make more genes. That simple reversal seems to answer many puzzlers which had stumped scientists for years, and we haven't thought of evolution in the same way since.
Why are there miles and miles of "unused" DNA within each of our bodies? Why should a bee give up its own chance to reproduce to help raise her sisters and brothers? With a prophet's clarity, Dawkins told us the answers from the perspective of molecules competing for limited space and resources to produce more of their own kind. Drawing fascinating examples from every field of biology, he paved the way for a serious re-evaluation of evolution. He also introduced the concept of self-reproducing ideas, or memes, which (seemingly) use humans exclusively for their propagation. If we are puppets, he says, at least we can try to understand our strings. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
'buy this book, read it and recommend it to your students...There is still nothing else quite like it. Not only are the new chapters and endnotes worthy additions to the original, but the 1976 text comes up as fresh as a primrose and, in its way, nearly as perfect.'l Animal Behaviour
'Learned, witty and very well written...Exhilaratingly good.' Peter Medawar in The Spectator
'This book should be read, can be read, by almost everyone. It describes with great skill a new face of the theory of evolution.' W.D. Hamilton, Science
`Dawkins demonstrates that complex, theoretical or mathematical ideas can be expressed rigorously, in plain English. The book remains an excellent way for those who have not been trained in evolution to understand modern arguments.' Trends in Ecology and Evolution
`An essential and value-for-money purchase for all biological libraries.' Journal of Applied Ecology
`Richard Dawkins is one of a rare breed - a scientist with the gift of the good writer. He has succeeded here in conveying theories of neo-Darwinism with the excitement of a mystery story... He has revelled in pushing the novelty of language and metaphor to the brink, and has ended up with a new way of seeing, which can in its own right come full circle and make an original contribution to science. At the same time, he has produced a book which is highly readable both for the layman, without any note of condescension, and for the expert, giving hima new way of looking at familiar ideas.' Alternatives to Laboratory Animals
'A splendid example of how difficult scientific ideas can be explained by someone who understands them and is willing to take the trouble.' The New Yorker
'What is so refreshing about Dawkins is that he has confidence in the scientific method, in the testing of beliefs to destruction, no matter how cherished they may be' Benjamin Woolley, The Listener
'influential' The Sunday Correspondent
'An entertaining look at evolution for the general reader.' Publishing News

It's also frowned upon, in modern society, to kill people. From a Genetic perspective, there's no advantage to killing people, even your rivals.. it wastes energy, and may make other rivals even stronger in rank. Reverse rationalization.Read more ›
He begins by anticipating the outcry of those who must see humans set apart from the rest of life. "Why Are People" examines several behavioral aspects of animals and people. Altruism receives particular attention because the term "selfish" applied to life returns us to the concept of nature "red in tooth and claw" which he wishes to avoid. Genes are not conscious entities who make decisions about their existence or future. Genes are simply replicators, using whatever resources are available to make more of themselves. With luck, the environment in which they do this allows them to survive and continue replicating. If not, the gene, and whatever characteristic it represents, goes extinct. Enough bad matches and a whole species follows the gene into extinction.
In the beginning our very earliest ancestors weren't likely to even have been organisms, but simply chemicals. From this, Dawkins traces the development of the DNA molecule and the organisms that came to carry it in their cells. These organisms, "survival machines" in Dawkins' expression, carry the genes, supplying them with the raw material to continue replicating.Read more ›

City Guide: Greensboro
Greensboro is booming with activities.
Art exhibitions, music concerts and live theatre performances are waiting for you in Greensboro. But if you come there to escape from a tranquil lifestyle then look no further than the dynamic environment in Downtown with its cafes, stores and art galleries and restaurants to dine out or drink fresh beer from the nearby brewery.
It all can be about your adventure in Greensboro if you rely on Booked.net with your hotel booking. We have the best hotels in Greensboro, from cheap offers to luxury, all available with maps, photos and secure forms at Booked.net.
You can also entertain yourself with a stroll along Elm Street packed with cultural establishments and schools with children dashing around during breaks. Otherwise, you can just get lost in this beautiful city to understand it has all the comforts of a modern metropolis, but still retains its provincial charm.
Attractions include;
- Bog Gardens, beautiful park in the city
- Greensboro Coliseum, a location for numerous shows and performances
- Old Mill, a place to enjoy the best pineapple cornbread in the world
- Emerald Point, an amusement park and the largest in the central east coast
Beautiful houses of the 19th century echo nostalgia for the past, while modern high-rises remind you that it is the 21st century. When in Greensboro reminders of its glorious history are everywhere.
The first settlers in the area were Germans and English who relocated there from Northern colonies. They reshaped the wild land into a settlement in 1740 and saw the Revolutionary war with battle in the area led by Nathanael Greene, a general who this city is named after. After that residents suggested a new seat for government – Greensboro and named it after the patriot commander.
Today Greensboro has developed into interesting city with its own style and charm distinct from its neighbors. About the only thing Greensboro really lacks is certainty in weather. Every season in Greensboro is unique with hot summers when temperatures reach the 90 F in July and winter temperatures - 40 F.
Such temperature drop caused by its location in the hills of North Carolina's Piedmont with Great Smoky Mountains to the west and the Atlantic beaches to the east. The area city occupies is 109.2sqmiles. The land is home to 223,891 people with famous author William Sydney Porter, but known as O. Henry born here.
Within the city is even O.Henry Hotel named in the author's honor and you can book this or any other hotel you like at Booked.net.
