Head of Cityblis Community
Discover the latest fashion trends direct from the designers!
Welcome to Cityblis – a place to discover the latest fashion trends direct from the designers! Use Cityblis to find cool fashion, start new trends, hear exclusive stories and buy unique pieces from around the world.
Cityblis is more than just a platform. It is a community of creative talents and fashion savvy people. We are empowering designers to build their brands by working with fashion magazines, fashion networks, procurement houses, runway and trade shows all under one roof to let designers do what they do best – design great fashion.
Through great fashion find unique people, unique moments, unique stories and share them with the world.
Cityblis lets you discover the best independent fashion designers around the world - Fashion is a personal expression of who we are and we want it to be unique!
Cityblis is a community of trendsetters and fashion forward innovators that brings together designers and fashion lovers like you from every corner of the globe and from every medium.
Remember before the internet we used to go to the mall to check out the latest fashion, see the cool displays, talk to people in the store and hang out with our friends. So now that everything is now online - why does that have to change? We want to bring the joy of online shopping and fashion back to the internet.
Cityblis not only allows designers to showcase their creativity but more importantly allows them to tell their story - giving you a sneak peek behind the designer, their products and their brands.
This is the place to meet new and exciting designers that are pushing the boundaries in the creative space. Find the coolest items from around the world that matches your personal style and most importantly…that no one else is wearing!
Cityblis is not just as a place to buy unique fashion - it as a fully interactive community which takes you behind the scenes to give you inside tips and share your latest trends. Best of all you can browse trends and tips from designers and other fashion lovers. Get inspired by all the beautiful things from all over the globe. With so much fashion, there is something for everyone.
As artists and designers the problem we face is that no matter how talented we are or how impressive our designs, we are still overshadowed by large corporations that dictate art and fashion to the general public. We want the recognition we deserve and without the right channels and exposure most of us are forced to abandon our own labels and join commercial corporations.
Fashion lovers face the same problem - They are bombarded with today's commercial fashion trends but have no way to find creative pieces that are not mass produced for the general public. And so Cityblis was started to solve these problems with one simple word - 'Visibility'.
It's all about Visibility and Cityblis enables designers and artists, their brands and their designs to become visible to the world.
Cityblis is a community of designers and fashion lovers looking to find each other. It's not only about selling more…it is about building your brand and expressing the feeling behind that brand.
Design is all about individuality. And this starts with a unique personal page that is created for each designer where you can showcase, expand and also sell your designs. The biggest benefit to you is the opportunity to write about yourself!…about your life, your inspirations, your intentions and most importantly the story behind your designs. These stories are then sent to fashion magazines and bloggers around the world who are looking to write about new, interesting designers.
We understand each designer is unique. Your fashion and your brands are a representation of the message you want to convey to the world. And it shouldn't be any different for the place you display your work. Each designer's page is created uniquely for you. We do not believe in template or stock standard designs and your individuality is what makes you who you are!
It's all about visibility and market presence! Today opening a brand is like opening a shop in the middle of the desert. That is why Cityblis is working directly with fashion magazines and fashion bloggers to tell your story. To give you even more exposure we work with fashion events and runway shows in Europe, the US and Australia where selected designers are invited to participate. We also work with procurement houses and retail buyer associations who are extremely interested in Cityblis to discover new designers and purchase collections for next season.
Cityblis gives you the possibility to be seen within large corporations and not simply lost amongst the crowd. New avenues for exposure and customers are made available with the right tools and the right connections to help you branch out globally and tell your story.
Cityblis is an exclusive community for designers and artists. But we always want to meet new talent. If you are interested in joining Cityblis please send us your website or some images of your work to firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
As a creative professional we respect your work. Designers are only allowed to join by invitation or recommendation. Limited invitations are also given to our trusted partners such as fashion institutes, associations and bloggers to invite designers they believe are ready.
Before being allowed to participate in Cityblis every new designer is screened to ensure they meet quality standards. Cityblis is curated for designers but totally open to fashion lovers/buyers/visitors or anyone who would like to view your work.
As part of the prelaunch phase, designers were selected from the USA (NYC & LA), the UK, Sweden, and Australia. Selection was based on:
For all of our prelaunch designers, each was assigned a Cityblis graphics designer who came up with a unique concept to best represent the brand. These graphic designers had previously worked for MTV and Sony for international musicians, artists and celebrities. Each graphic designer then tailored the designer's page to match their personal style and brand.
No matter how good your brand is or how amazing your products are, if customers can't find you, then you will never reach the sales you deserve.
The only way to increase sales is to be visible to customers. Cityblis makes brands and products visible to the world with personalized stores, as part of a global platform and most importantly across all major social networks from Facebook to Twitter. We use the marketing power of Cityblis to reach new designers and new fashion lovers.
Cityblis is bringing all the resources of the fashion industry under one roof. Each designer, product, page and the platform itself is linked with all social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, MySpace, Yahoo, MSN, and more) to give our designers the viral marketing power and social media presence that large international fashion brands use.
The designer's stories are also published on our own social media pages and sent out to all collaborating fashion magazines in the US, Europe and Australia.
Top fashion bloggers are invited to report on our designers and the project itself. These bloggers are looking for new designers, new products and new stories to blog in their own communities.
The platform itself and in turn all its designers will be extensively marketed in fashion events and various media both locally and internationally.
On the other side of the fashion industry – government and business organizations both in Europe and the US are behind Cityblis. The platform is designed to operate in multiple countries, giving local designers the tools to reach global customers and export their products anywhere in the world.
So how is Cityblis different...
Fashion is all about uniqueness and emotion. The way you feel when you wear something – when you see it – when you touch it. And everything surrounding that piece is an extension of that feeling including the place that you buy it.
When you walk through fashion center from one store to the next, every store looks totally different. It's not just the fashions that are different but the store itself - the way the products are arranged, the pictures hanging on the wall, the music playing in the background and even lighting is different. It is this variety that makes shopping so joyful…and it is in this way we experience the emotion and the feeling behind each brand.
This is the feeling and emotion we have created at Cityblis - Every store is unique - Every brand has a personality - and every designer has a story to tell. And through Cityblis we want our designers to express themselves in every way possible – through their fashions, through their stories and through their stores. Shopping is an experience…an event to be enjoyed…and online shopping should not be any different.
By making Cityblis totally free we allow our designers to offer their fashions at lower prices to you.
We do not believe in competition. We welcome anybody and everybody that wants to work with us to give you better access to fashions from all over the world. We love the way others have opened up the internet and we want to continue in this tradition. Only by working together can we really start to break down some of the barriers in the industry. So we invite fashion magazines, bloggers, fashion institutes, designers, fashion lovers, fashion communities, government groups and even other fashion platforms to join us and change the way we buy fashion.
The best part about buying new fashion… is doing it with friends. No one likes to go and look for their next pair of awesome jeans by themselves…I mean - who is going to tell you if you look good in them if you are alone?
Fashion is more fun when it is shared with others. That is why Cityblis has implemented multiple streams to let you follow your friends shopping activities, see the latest trends from around the world, find great designers, get the latest news, read tips from style experts and socialize with others in the fashion world.
So go ahead, connect to not just Facebook but to Twitter, Google+, Yahoo, LinkedIn, MSN, MySpace, Orkut and more. Enjoy shopping together with your friends.
Designers are invited to join Cityblis only after passing through a screening process to ensure that you get unique quality designs that meet the highest level of service and professionalism.
Fashion is more than just great clothes – fashion is a business! And Cityblis helps designers as small businesses – We do this at a grassroots level with the designer themselves, at a business level with collaborating organizations and at a political level bringing in the support of government bodies to break down barriers within the industry. These barriers include issues such import/export, logistics and taxation and we understand that government participation is necessary to create real world solutions for international trade in the fashion industry.
Cityblis is not designed to be a "like" or "share" button on some social networking site. We are talking about a fully interactive, multi-platform integration with ALL social sites. Cityblis allows consumers to shop and interact with friends and others from the comfort of their own social network. The experience is totally social, recreating a format that they are already familiar with. By making this online activity social, non-traditional users who have not tried online shopping for fear of being scammed or cheated can now take part with friends. This format makes them feel safer and more secure in a virtual universe that has up until this point been alienating. Cityblis promotes social interaction with users' real friends. We aim to recreate a truly social shopping experience. The only way to do that is to allow users to share and interact with their own friends on all their favorite social networks.
Cityblis is one of the most advanced fashion platforms, but it is more than just an internet platform… It is the connection between designers from 3 continents in the form of a community. It is the partnerships with international fashion magazines, fashion institutes, procurement-houses, buyer and retail associations, logistic companies and import/export government organizations to bring all industry resources under one roof. Cityblis is bringing the fun of online shopping back to the internet.
Did you know the internet is one big city? And the city center is where people spend most of their time. Here we have the Facebook District with loads of social clubs and places to hang out! At Google Central Station you can take a bus or a train to anywhere in the city. We have the LinkedIn Financial District where all the Wall Street guys in their fancy suits hangout. And around the corner we have Yahoo Boulevard, MSN Park, Youtube on Broadway, Twitter Town Hall, MySpace Funfair and more…
Just outside the city we have the large shopping malls where people make the long drive out to occasionally do their shopping. Even further out we have the suburbs where people live. Here we have a couple of small local boutiques scattered around that you wouldn't even know existed unless you lived here. Travel further out in this online universe and you will find an enormous wasteland littered with forgotten websites and broken links. Try finding what you want in this mess!
If you want to set up an online store this is where you would normally start. Right in the middle of nowhere, with no customer base, no marketing and no direct connection to the city. Welcome to Cityblis! Shoppers, Browsers and Businesses alike will be transported right into the heart of the city where all the action is. Businesses will be able to set up online stores on Cityblis right between the Facebook District and Google Central. People will be able to meet their friends on Cityblis next to Yahoo Boulevard and within walking distance to Twitter Town Hall. And shoppers will be able to find the things they actually want on Cityblis across from MySpace Funfair and the LinkedIn Financial District.
Did you know that all online activities are quickly becoming social? 23.6 minutes of every hour spent on the internet is spent on social internet websites. Users are demanding that they be connected to their friends and to online services every time they use their computers, mobiles or any other electronic device. Following this trend and studying the Big City Internet Universe, Cityblis is launching the world's newest interactive social shopping platform. Cityblis uniquely integrates itself within ALL major social sites including Facebook, Twitter, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Orkut, MySpace and more.
By using Cityblis, you will find yourself right in the heart of the action between other popular districts and avenues...
Now where do you want to have your store?
Cityblis is one of the most advanced fashion platforms currently available implementing cloud technology, API integration and the latest features and technologies to improve the user experience. By developing Cityblis in accordance with current Web 2.0 technology the benefit to users is that they can now experience all aspects of the internet through an interactive platform. Cityblis is linked and mashed with popular online social networks so that users can instantly authenticate, share, like, repost and discuss content simultaneously to multiple networks. To make it even easier, we understand that not all users will be members of the same communities. For this reason Cityblis will be fully compatible will all current platforms and networks allowing users to share whatever they want with whoever they want. The experience is totally social, recreating a format that they are already familiar with, unlocking a new segment of the market that has not tried online shopping for fear of being scammed or cheated.
The internet is now all about personalized content and Cityblis is embracing this concept to give users their own unique online shopping experience. The technology is set up to allow designers (small businesses) to be able to create unique beautiful webshops complete with eCommerce capabilities and direct integration to social networks with no html knowledge, no hiring of web developers, no maintenance and no cost. The technology has been developed to make it extremely simple for any user to create a professional looking webpage that it can virtually be done within minutes.
The technology has been developed to make it extremely simple for any user to create a professional looking webpage that it can virtually be done within minutes.
Cityblis creates a virtual mall where a user can customize the look, the feel, the music (coming soon) and almost every aspect of their own webshop while still being part of a larger community. Although slightly trivial, this community structure enables small businesses to gain more visibility and achieve higher search rankings, taking them out of the desert and putting them directly in front of consumer's eyes.
To make the experience more engaging for consumers, Cityblis has implemented multiple streams giving users full interaction with friends, shop owners, industry professionals and others. Streams allow users to tailor information based on their interests.
Cityblis implements 3 different streams, each of which offers a unique type of engagement for users.
These streams are designed to give users unique information that is tailored to their appetite for information and interaction allowing them to be completely passive observers or interact actively with others.
Cityblis is designed for global audiences so standard features like currency & language convertors/ translators have been included to allow users of different nations to conduct business and engage each other more readily.
One of the biggest obstacles facing small businesses these days is inventory management. For this reason, Cityblis will soon directly integrate to platforms such as X.com and Magento to connect to other platforms and enable them to connect to us. This will allow users to monitor, track and shift inventory between platforms to give users the best opportunity to engage customers.
Another pain that both small businesses and consumers face is fraud. To make online shopping more secure, Cityblis has developed a method, system and technology to minimize this problem for which there is a patent pending. At release this technology will make shopping more secure and create greater trust between users in different countries and across continents.
Over the next 6-12 months Cityblis is going to roll out a number of additional features and functionality which will make online shopping more simple, more fun and more secure. But for now we are going to keep these trade secrets under our hats. So stay tuned for more.
Solving the pain of
small businesses
According to US census data, small businesses represent more than three-quarters of the US economy but only capture 3% of overall sales. This is typical of most economies around the world. In an economy that is trying to recover, small businesses need new avenues and channels to reach customers. This is the greatest pain any business experiences – attracting new customers. With the weak currencies and consumers turning to the internet to find cheaper products, the small businesses are primed to receive high online demand from new customers, especially from international markets.
Clearly the market exists. However, small businesses cannot access this market for the following reasons:
Those businesses that manage to overcome these barriers to entry face additional obstacles as they become lost in cyberspace amongst the corporate giants. They have little to no market presence and often abandon their efforts as they do not prove to be cost effective and attract few new customers.
Success online means generating Market Presence. Any business can now pay to create a great website. But no matter how good the brand or how amazing the products, if customers can't find them, then they will never reach the sales they deserve. Cityblis achieves market presence by collectively marketing thousands of businesses under the umbrella of one united front rather than separate stand- alone businesses. Using the combined strength of the many and unique viral marketing on social networks, Cityblis creates new sales and marketing channels for small businesses to diversify from traditional buying patterns and successfully reach new customers.
By using Cityblis, businesses and products become visible on multiple levels - through individual online stores, as part of a global platform, through social media and most importantly though viral marketing. This gives businesses the market presence they need to be successful. The benefit that Cityblis offers small business over competitors, is that instead of setting up a store in the middle of nowhere with no customers, we make their store part of a larger community with customers viewing their products from day one.
With the 'European Union's development association', 'Swedish Growth Organizations' and 'UK Trade & Investment' already involved in Europe, Cityblis is now opening up new markets with the help of US organizations.
The Cityblis platform is designed to operate in multiple countries, giving local companies the tools to reach global customers and export their products anywhere in the world. By incorporating applications such as language translations, currency convertors, multiple payment methods and shipping options with various transport companies, business users have everything they need under the one roof to get their products into the market and increase profits.
Businesses now have direct communication links to their customers, are able to create customer groups, target users that express an interest in their products and become a part of their customer's social networks.
The huge advantage to businesses is the way in which Cityblis markets every business to a global audience. Through integration with major social networks, platforms and portals as well as Google, Skype and various other online applications, Cityblis will be able to viral market every user and business across the internet.
Cityblis is intended for both small as well as large established businesses. Companies that already operate online services have the opportunity to link their existing website to the Cityblis platform and display all or some of their products. In this way, users can always find a company's primary website if they should choose to have one. Additionally businesses have the capability to connect to networks that users want and develop their own pages/tools/functions for users through the Cityblis developer platform. The goal is to increase both online traffic to their own websites and more foot traffic into their stores.
Cityblis is the best way to give smaller online merchants better selling potential.
We run Cityblis like we
run our lives
In developing Cityblis we asked ourselves - What incredible benefits can we give to small businesses?... where can we take them that they can't currently go? And starting with this idea we built the technology around the user experience.
We run Cityblis like we live our lives.
"Give small businesses exposure in new markets while making international
trade simpler, easier and cheaper for everyone"

ESPN Doesn't Think Anything About $10 Million Lawsuit
The New York Post reported last night that a $10 million lawsuit was filed against ESPN by a Yankees fan who was caught sleeping at a game. He claimed that he was mocked by the announcers. A few minutes ago, ESPN released a statement:
?The comments attributed to ESPN and our announcers were clearly not said in our telecast. The claims presented here are wholly without merit.?
If he is serious about this lawsuit, he'd better make sure he has a serious claim. Even if the ESPN announcers made some rude comments, stating the obvious about someone isn't an offense. Sorry.
If you watch the video, the ESPN announcers did nothing wrong.

Saturday 7th September 2013. The Mayor and Mayoress of Blackpool, Councillor Eddie Collett and Mrs Heather Collett, attended a ceremony to unveil the new lions that are replicates of the ones loaned to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. Also in attendance were representatives from Stowe School and members the Blackpool Council team responsible for the lions.
Below, the Mayor of Blackpool about to unveil one of the lions:
The unveiled lion:
December 1st in the Visitor Centre, Stanley Park, Blackpool.
The new lions were unveiled on the 7th September and here they are the day after:
Sunday 25th August 2013 report.
What a great day in Stanley Park with a big turn out of cars, a huge turn out of people and some great music enjoyed by all on the Bandstand. Not only, but also it was sunny and warm.
On the Italian Gardens cars were parked all round the inside, the outside, along the entrance drives and on the grass. Well done to the Blackpool Vehicle Preservation Group.
Old British cars: Rileys, Wolseleys, Triumphs, Austins, Morris, Sunbeams. Vauxhalls and a big display of Fords: Escorts, Consuls, Cortinas, Granadas, Prefects, Capri, Classic. Luxury marques: Rolls Royce, Bentley. Sporty: Jaguar, MG, Triumph TR. Big and foreign: Cadillacs, Mercedes.
A quartet with ukelele playing George Formby and songs of that era. I was leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street. The whole show sponsored by Hesketh Cars.
On the bandstand DJs were playing 3 hours of soul sound. The urging beat pushing you to get up. A big crowd sitting in the sun listening to great music. Some talking, some laughing, some ready to party and some dancing. The Getsettes got up and played some 60's R&B to round off the show.
Triumphs round the fountain:
Jaguars round the edges:
Austin, Morris, Ford:
Here's to the Park Gardeners don't those flowers look good. Motorcycles and the Art Deco Cafe:
Soul in the Park, a busy bandstand, 'some laughing, some just shapeless forms' (it's a song, do you know what?):
Blackpool Soul Club - Keep the Faith:
The Getsettes on stage:
A great turn out. Some dancing:
Scooters came and went from all over Lancashire - we want more! Boats, Swanboats it's all on Stanley Park:
Choose your hedge. The hedge display near the Forest Gate entrance. One of my favourites. Well done to the gardeners:
The Stanley Park conservation area is quite classy with its characteristic styles from the 1920's.
Welcome to Stanley Park - The East Park Drive entrance near the hospital:
The goose posing in exchange for a bite of bread, but I conned it as I'd no bread:

The skateboard facility next to the childrens playground and Sports Centre on Stanley Park:
The old park pavilion, now the Police Centre, with its characteristic roof, which this photo doesn't show too well. Several buildings including the hospital had this style from 1927ish:
A view of the lake on the way out to East Park Drive next to Blackpool Model Village and its car park:
Back into the park off East Park Drive for a walk over the lake bridges:
On one of the lake bridges:
The view from the bridge of the far lake looking towards the hospital:
A view of Stanley Park Golf Course, its entrance is on North Park Drive:
Crossing East Park Drive at the entrance at the beginning of this walk is the other half of the golf course next to the hospital:
Into Salisbury Woodland from East Park Drive heading towards Blackpool Zoo:
The far end of Salisbury Woodland is Blackpool Zoo celebrating 40 years in 2012 and using the old Blackpool Airport Art Deco hangars:
Blackpool Zoo building, the old Blackpool Airport Control Tower:
At the end of Salisbury Woodland heading towards Herons Reach signposted as Staining - go either way to Marton Mere for a good walk and bird watching hides. This is a circular track via Marton Mere, De Vere Hotel, also for Staining and Herons Reach. An entrance to the hospital is also here from the Zoo car park:
Going left, the tarmac track towards Herons Reach, further on it becomes more gravelly and can have puddles:
A view from the walk of Blackpool Victoria Hospital's magnificent new Cardiac Building:
Decision time: Herons Way or Reach takes you to Newton Drive which is a decent walk or bus into town or back to the park. Continue on the tarmac track to Marton Mere. The sign pointing right takes you either onto a natural footpath or over the De Vere Golf Course which I don't like doing but it's a bit shorter:
You might choose to walk along North Park Drive opposite the hospital which has some characterful houses and is relatively quiet.

Fmr. Nuke Watchdog: Iranians 'Tricked and Misled Us'
Spiegel, Spiegel
AP Photo
SPIEGEL: Mr. Heinonen, if you consider your time as the United Nations' atomic "watchdog," do you look back in anger? Or did you succeed in making the world safer from nuclear bombs?
Heinonen: There are quite a few things I'm proud of. While I was at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), we played a significant role in putting Abdul Qadir Khan -- the most dangerous nuclear smuggler of all times -- out of action. But when I think about the nuclear activities of certain states, for instance Iran's nuclear program, I have to say that we allowed ourselves to be placated too often. We should...

Housepainting and changeAsha Dornfest
We're painting our house. Let me rephrase: we're having our house painted, because who are we kidding, no one wants me to climb up one of those ladders with a wet paint roller.
It's an old house, built in 1930, and in good shape, but if we want it to stay that way, we need to be responsible homeowners and take care of it. So we called in a local company to freshen up the exterior with a couple coats of paint in a new color.
My kids are not happy about it.
When I told my eight year-old daughter we were painting our house a different color, she burst into tears, inconsolable that I was allowing someone — paying someone, even — to change her home.
"It's just going to be a different color on the outside," I told her, with that maddening tone that confirmed I was totally missing the point.
"But I like it the way it is," she said.
My son was more stoic about the prospect until the painting actually began. Then, he asked, with a mournful look in his eyes, "Can they just leave one side the original color?" I assured him we have pictures of the house painted the original color (beige, whoopie), and that he can look at them whenever he likes. He was not comforted.
I'm always taken by surprise when my kids object to new dishes, or new plants in the garden, or new pieces of furniture — even old furniture in a new arrangement. I forget that the safety and permanence of their home takes partial form in these objects, while, for me, home is a more fluid concept, not firmly attached to stuff. (Although I might feel differently if our home were destroyed by a fire or some other disaster, which I hope I will never find out.)
My initial reaction to their apprehension was was to brush it off and cajole them into liking the idea of a totally different-colored house. But I've backed off of that and am trying to hear their worries, and sit with them in their loss, beige though it may be. They've reminded me about the household objects I loved growing up, such as the goofy, 60's era vinyl ottoman that's still sitting in my parents' house, and the stepstool that was my booster seat at Thanksgiving dinners. My parents wouldn't think twice about replacing these items, and, at this point, I wouldn't mind if they did. But I'm grateful that my kids helped me remember that I used to care.
I'm glad I took pictures of our house when it was beige. Once the painting is done, and the new house color loses its "new" feeling, and our house is just our house again, we'll take out the pictures and marvel that our house was ever beige. Perhaps we'll wish it still was.

Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe
Mexican Cobbler Recipe
This easy cherry cobbler recipe comes with a twist – flour tortillas! If you are looking for a different dessert for that Mexican food dinner, this could be the one.
Grease a 9x12" baking dish. Fill flour tortillas with 1 tablespoon pie filling.
Roll up and place seam side down in pan. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, butter and water to a boil. (If you desire, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to liquid.) Pour syrup over rolled up tortillas and let stand 40 minutes.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.
This cobbler is good served warm, but even better after being chilled.

Cinema Do Brasil
Over the course of this year's Glasgow Film Festival you can see nine Brazilian films. Only one of these films currently has a UK distributor in place so these may well be unique opportunities to see a cross-section of work from a nation whose cinema deserves much closer attention. The films range widely across subject matter, period, location and aesthetic. The award-winning Neighbouring Sounds/O som ao redor is distinctly urban, bleached in piercing sunlight and reminiscent of Roman Polanski classics like Repulsion and The Tenant as it slowly reveals the tensions and guilty secrets among the residents of the affluent area of Recife.
Cao Hamburger's Xingu deals with the guilty secrets of the whole nation as it moulds a sweeping adventure yarn from the story of three brothers who signed on for the government's March West plan in the 1940s to bring 'progress', 'civilisation' roads and airfields to areas of the country officially deemed unoccupied. Realising that what they were really doing was exploiting and harming the indigenous population, the brothers became the most committed advocates of local rights.
America's guilty relations with Brazil are the focus of The Day that Lasted 21 Years/O Dia Que Durou 21 Anos, a painstaking documentary on the way both John F Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson worked to protect American interests by participating in the overthrow of Brazil's democratically elected president Joao Goulart.
The beautiful, mysterious black and white fable Southwest/Sudoeste may remind you of last year's acclaimed Tabu whilst if you are looking for something purely entertaining there is the kitsch comedy Prime Time Soap/A Novela das 8 and the utterly charming The Best Things in the World/As Melhores Coisas do Mundo in which fifteen-year-old Hermano is coming to terms with the complexity and compromises of the adult world.
If all the films leave you in the mood to sample a little more Brazilian culture then head to Boteco do Brasil for some food or come along to the Carnival evening on Friday the 15th when you can watch the Oscar-winning classic Black Orpheus and then jump on the samba for a night of dance workshops, drinks and all the fun of the carnival.

GFF Co-director

On January 30th, 2010 from 10am - 2pm Hillsboro Honda is going to host an s2000 meet for all of us to come out and feel welcome :hello:
When I first started working on this, I was pleased with the response not only from the dealer (which has been 100% positive), but from all of you guys as well :heart:
Both Garret and I are really happy with the final outcome as well as Hillsboro Honda's generosity, especially Dan Shores in the parts department. We have him to thank for all this!! They have been eager to get us there and for us to have a "home" dealership that we can all trust and feel welcome at.
The event will feature some awesome food as they have agreed to an all you can eat BBQ for us much like Forged and PSI did earlier this "off season"
:photo: This is one of the rare occasions that we have the potential to have every USDM color produced to be in one place. We will have our own private parking surrounding the outside of the dealership main office in a diamond shape. No worries about door dings.
It will be a really cool photo opportunity! We are going to stagger the color's as much as possible, but depending on the turn out, we may need to double up the silver's. :tipwink:
Soo..The photographers in the group...get your camera's ready!! (ERIC, KYLE, P1 and P2, this means you! :shout: )
On top of all this there will be a raffle for everyone in attendance. The gifts will be donated from Hillsboro Honda. Also, everyone in attendance is going to receive a Honda door prize.
The Honda rep is confirmed for a 12pm noon!
I truly hope we can make this event one of the largest gatherings we've every had as a "s2000 family" As I said before, let's not waste this opportunity. I am grateful that a Honda dealer has finally reached back with open arms to us and is so excited about having us there.
****Please remember to be respectful to the dealership in terms of revving, peelling out, etc as the dealership is trusting us on this one. They are still selling cars and we are a magnet to get people to come into the dealership***
Again this will coincide with a group buy for the Honda OEM oil filters
Hillsboro Honda is located at
750 Southwest Oak Street
Hillsboro, OR
This event is open to any and everyone to come out and share what an amazing car we have all fallen in love with!
Update from Larry Miller Honda 1/13/10;
Dan said rest assured there is plenty of parking that will be set aside for us. He also said they are concerned about the weather and that if the weather does turn bad, there will be a substitute of food instead of BBQ, 6 foot subs with "fixin's".
He also wanted me to tell everyone, "Make sure your crew knows we can put on a better spread when the weather is nicer and a little more time to prepare!"
Thanks Larry Miller Honda for all your hard work! :hello:
Who's in? 33 Cars!

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - At the end of the 76ers-San Antonio game Sunday night, the score sheet that was handed out listed the reason for Tim Duncan's not playing as OLD.
Since the Spurs were playing their third game on consecutive nights, coach Greg Popovich decided to rest his 15-year veteran. But someone on the Spurs staff decided to have a little fun when describing the reason for his DNP at the AT&T Center.
Even though they didn't have to face Duncan, there was no fun to be had by the Sixers. They scored just 27 points in the second half, committed a season-high 21 turnovers, and appeared frustrated in a 93-76 loss that dropped them to 27-22.

Here is an article on the hinged boot that the USFSA has been paying companies to try to develop. Apparently, it is close. RGirl, this should make your day.
Tim Goebel is interviewed, and it sounds as if he was interested. However, he has a contract with SP Teri that runs through May.
Tim had more injuries than I knew about as well as the boots (as we probably all suspected), too.
From what I have seen of these boots, I expect bootcovers would be the order of the day, if you were using them.

I did this mod and agree, its a great update. Nothing at all is needed. Get the A and B version so they will directly replace the current a and b motors, one has the extension on the pinion. They will drop right in, no mods needed.
If you got a couple of extra bucks, here is a link for even more radical motors although the pinions are probabley not included,
For you motor freaks out there try replacing the ferrite magnets with theses NEO magnets found on this Page Link
Thanks to all of you for your ideas

yeah, i ordered some parts from bphobbies and they were great with service and getting the parts to me in a great manner. Bphobbies is who i'll buy from now. getting low shipping cost would be great too
just flew 2 BAT packs back to back and they were barely warm
anybody wanna a heat sink will sell real cheap
Another thing I notice the battery gets full use, The light on the 4in1 stays green almost all the time until the very end then it starts to go red then it just starts to land.
Unlike before where the light would change from green to red more often when under the slightest load.
A defenite improvement
- SmartPropoPlus version 3.3.0 (I'll call it SPP) with PPJoy extension
- 1/8" stereo audio cable (male plugs both ends)
- Plug cable into trainer port on lp5dsm and line-in or mic input on soundcard
- Keep line-in volume about midway between min/max
- Setup SPP per included docs (choose Generic PPM and check the PPJoy box)
- Setup PPJoy per docs except (here's the important part):
- choose 5 axes (English is weird :^) instead of the example of 6
- Setup each axis as follows (all analog):
X axis: Reverse 1
Y axis: Reverse 2
Rudder: Reverse 3
Throttle: Analog 0
Dial: Analog 4
I don't think the above order matters, but I'm not messing with it ...
- Make sure transmitter is actually turned on (necessary for lp5dsm)
- Go to Control Panel / Game Controllers and calibrate the new "joystick"
- If you're configuring PPJoy and recalibrating, make sure you click on the Game Controller display window to make it active (or you won't see the dials move)
I have the Clearview flight sim and I just map each axis to the appropriate control surface in the sim's controller setup. They all work - even the channel 5 dial. I'm not sure how to setup the other sims.
I speculated (incorrectly) earlier in this thread that the lp5dsm was not "understood" by SPP. That's what you get for speculating. My main problem was not using line-in and the next problem was configuring each axis (while not having a clue as to what the 60 or so analog/digital channels in PPJoy actually do).
Just to be clear - I personally am successfully flying Clearview using the lp5dsm that came with my CX2 after many previous failed attempts to do so. I already had the 1/8" cable laying around from an old computer speaker system with subwoofer so it cost me $0 and a little trial and error time to use my lp5dsm to fly the sim. I'm sure the $40 cables are great and hopefully simpler to setup, but this did what I wanted for no cash and I'm not getting any glitching in the sim - it just works.
Hope this saves someone some aggravation - and I apologize in advance if this is old news.
Have fun,
- Scott
lp5dsm to analog channel mapping (at least as shown in PPJoy):
Left stick up/down (Throttle): 0
Left stick left/right (Rudder): Reverse 3
Right stick up/down (Y-axis/Elevator): Reverse 2
Right stick left/right (X-axis/Aileron): Reverse 1
Here's a link to the $6 cable you need to have:

Well, I was using the mono cable rather than a stereo patch cable. It is very important to use the stereo patch cable b/c when I had the mono cable connected the batteries got EXTREMELY HOT [did not melt plastic, but it smelled like something was burning] and the voltatge display was blank.
Anyways, I used your settings and they work perfectly!
I loaded the full version of ClearView last night and hooked up my Tx - tried a couple of JR Tx's with a USB cable - and proceeded to set it up.
Couple of things are driving me nuts...
It keeps losing the control settings I have setup and reverting to what it wants everything to be. Plus, the Aileron stick, Mode 1 (right stick, horizontal), behaves very strangely - when I move it, the indicator on the control panel moves very strangely, suddenly reversing direction.
I also find the physics model a bit wierd...
Any ideas?
I use FMS and AeroFly Pro Deluxe, no problems at all! We are looking for a cheap, photo realistic simulator to use with the kids at the high school where I work - the kids build and fly a Gene Bond foamy as part of a Technology elective.

Modifications web site
Hi all:
I remember when this thread was just beginning. Now we're on page 66 and post #1000 is about to be written
This has been a great place for everyone to share ideas, thoughts, mods and ask lots and lots of questions! With the recent influx of new folks, I read a lot of posts asking about mods and mentioning how it takes so long to read through this entire thread to find them Although it's great to read every post because we can all learn from each other, I realize the frustration when you're trying to find just mods -- mods that work!
I belive I have a solution. I'd like to offer all of us here on the CX2 thread, a web site that would list all the mods that have been tried and especially work. The advantage to this -- as I see it -- no one can just post something. MondoMor started an FAQ thread (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...hlight=cx2+faq), but then folks started to post questions and comments that took away from his great idea. I was guilty of that myself and I apologize to MondoMor for that.
On the site, I could list mods with photos you folks send to me as well as instructions on how to proceed through each one. Of course, we'd have to mention this is not an official E-flite web site and all mods are done at your own risk.
I'm willing to create this if you think it's a worthwhile project. If you want, I can create a page just to show you what I think.
In the mean time, I'd be interested in your thoughts. Just trying to add to the wonderful experience the CX2 brings for all of us!
You can post your thoughts here or send me a PM.
Take care...happy flying!

In particular, I tried to get a response from some dude who claimed to have some nice, heavy-duty (white plastic) skids for the BCX/2. I tried several times to get more info but all my requests were ignored, leaving me to believe that the pic was a "Photoshop" fake.
We could expose such rascals if we had a common point of focus.
Thanks for a great idea, I hope you carry forth with it.

6 Nifty Resources No Indie Writer Can Do Without
To paraphrase a famous frog, "It's not easy being indie."
Actually, it's not easy being any kind of writer/author, self-published or traditionally published, but wearing the many hats in every Indie wardrobe–author, marketer, social media manager, designer, newsletter editor … did I miss any?–presents special challenges. We're talking about the kind of challenges that either drive you to drink, force you to beat your head against the wall, or have you tossing up your hands in defeat.
The Golden States Heart TrilogyThree funny, sizzling-sweet romances set in sunny Cali:
Now Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks! Hunter's Shadow, Book 2 in the Golden States Hearts Trilogy
Candy Johnson was born to be a PI–sharp, shrewd, and gutsy. Unfortunately, fate didn't get the memo. p>
Temporarily trapped in a small-town gym teacher's life, Candy is marking time until she can make her big career change, when the mystery that's George Price drops right into her lap. Sure he's got a face and body to die for. He's also got the personality of a three-pound dumbbell and doesn't know his volleyballs from a hole in the ground. If Price is who he claims to be, Candy's Mother Theresa.
When she decides to investigate Donnerton High's newest and most aggravating faculty member, she runs across some very interesting quirks in Pinhead Price's personality–flashes of tall, dark, and dangerous she finds almost impossible to resist. Before long and against all good judgment, she starts to fall, and fall hard, for a man who bears all the earmarks of a wolf in nerd's clothing.
But what will she do when she discovers the shocking truth about George?
Don't Miss Book 1 in the Golden State Hearts Triliogy
Small-town practical to the soles of her size fives, high school English teacher Jen Casey has one weakness—she's never been able to resist a dare. Ergo, when her BFF Candy Johnson throws down the triple-dog dare gauntlet, Jen has no choice but to accept the challenge. She e-mails former-classmate-turned-millionaire Brent Maddox, offering advice for the lovelorn. But, really. Is it her fault Celebrity Magazine published the e-mail instead of forwarding it?

Generals going to be tough Allan Cup hosts
The Bentley Generals are clearly intent on being the hosts with the most in the 2013 Allan Cup.
The Generals have recruited a fistful of talented and experienced players for the 2012-13 senior AAA hockey season, which for Bentley will culminate in playing host to the Allan Cup tournament to be played April 15-20 at the Red Deer Arena.
Among the new faces are power forwards Matt Stefanishion, Chris Neiszner and Dustin Moore, as well as goaltender Trevor Koenig.
Stefanishion is a Daysland native who played two years with Melville of the SJHL and earned a scholarship to Ferris Steve University in 2004. After two years of college hockey, he moved on to the minor pro ranks and signed a two-year NHL deal with the Washington Capitals in 2006.
But he never played beyond the American League — scoring one goal in 17 games over three seasons — and toiled mostly in the ECHL before enrolling at SAIT and producing 14 goals and 32 points in 19 regular-season games with the ACAC Trojans last winter.
"He probably should have made a bunch of loot from this game, but because of injuries and whatever he did not," said Generals manager Jeff McInnis. "He's still a student at SAIT but decided not to play there this season. He felt that he didn't fit into the ACAC last year, that it wasn't his brand of hockey. And he's 29 now, he was the old guy there."
Stefanishion, a right winger, racked up 135 minutes in penalties with the Trojans and at six-foot-three and 225 pounds is a physical force.
"He's big and powerful. I see him as like a senior hockey (Eric) Lindros," said McInnis.
Neiszner is a former Red Deer Rebels player (2001-05) and assistant coach who skated in the AHL, ECHL and one season in France before ending his playing career in 2010. His best minor pro season was 2008-09, when he garnered 41 points, including 21 goals, while serving as captain of the ECHL Las Vegas Wranglers.
"Chris is kind of everything you want. He's a low maintenance guy who is gritty but has some skill and stays in good shape," said McInnis. "He doesn't ask for anything and doesn't have to be told anything."
Moore, a product of the Red Deer minor system who scored 20 goals in his only season with the Rebels (2006-07), played five years at the University of Lethbridge and was captain of the Pronghorns. The 26-year-old winger will finish his degree at the U of L in December and is no longer eligible to play with the 'Horns.
"Dustin is a great addition to our team," said McInnis. "He's kind of like a (Generals veteran forward) Sean Robertson, but 10 years younger."
Koenig, from Edmonton, stopped pucks for Fort Saskatchewan of the AJHL and then attended Union College on a four-year scholarship. From there, he was a minor pro netminder for seven seasons before playing overseas — in Denmark, France and Sweden — the past three years.
"He's a long-time pro and a guy I've had on my radar for years," said McInnis. "It's fortunate for us that he's back at home this year."
Koenig will join returnee Travis Yonkman in the Generals net.
Other key newcomers include forwards Dustin Sproat, Travis Dunkle and Eric Schneider, and defenceman Shawn Germain. Meanwhile, former captain Kent Beagle has returned to the team after missing the last season and a half with knee problems.
Sproat, a Red Deer product, is an Ivy League grad who attended and played at Princeton University for four years after earning a scholarship out of Drayton Valley of the AJHL. The 30-year-old toiled in the ECHL for four seasons, scoring 24 and 21 goals with Cincinnati in 2009-10 and 2010-11, when he ended his pro career to attend the University of British Columbia to secure a masters degree in business.
Sproat is now at home in Red Deer completing his thesis online.
"This guys has brains to burn, he's not your normal hockey player," said McInnis. "He's really articulate."
Dunstall, meanwhile, is a WHL graduate who suited up for Kamloops and Medicine Hat before concluding his junior career with Grande Prairie of the AJHL. He split the next season between the Augusta RiverHawks of the Southern Professional League and Ryerson University and he was back with Augusta for the 2011-12 campaign.
Dunstall also suited up with the senior AAA Horse Lake Thunder last spring, the team that defeated the Generals in the Alberta final in April. Horse Lake did not register for the provincial AAA playoffs this year, leaving Dunstall as a free agent, and the Generals jumped at the opportunity to secure his services.
"He was kind of the guy we had our eye on when we learned Horse Lake wasn't going triple A this season," said McInnis. "I called their GM and he said 'go for it'.
"He was a guy that impressed us when we played against them last year. He's young, he can skate and he make plays at high speed. He's moved here, he's got a job welding and he's living in Blackfalds. He'll be a nice addition."
Schneider and Germain both have extensive minor pro experience, with Drayton Valley native Schneider having played with the WHL Tri-City Americans, Power River of the BCHL and the University of Calgary for two seasons (1998 to 2000) before beginning a five-year minor pro career that included stints in the ECHL, International League and the AHL. He played in Germany the past eight years.
Germain, from St. Paul, played two seasons and change of junior A hockey with Bonnyville of the AJHL and Chilliwack of the BCHL, then played at the college level with Grant MacEwen and the university level with Waterloo for two years. The 30-year-old got into one AHL game — with the Hershey Bears in 2006-07 — but otherwise spent the remainder of his six-year minor pro career in the ECHL.
And then there's Beagle, the former captain who's attempting a comeback after undergoing knee surgery.
"He's trying to roust his career again," said McInnis. "He's been away for a year and a half, which is a long time, but the opportunity is there for him. He's a battle-tested warrior who can show some of the other guys what is needed to be successful in senior hockey."
With the additions, McInnis is confident the Generals are clearly a superior team to last season's edition.
"There's not an area in which we haven't improved," he said. "Certainly there's reason for much optimism, now it's up to the coaches and players to make it happen. We're happy with all the players we've added."
The Generals, who also return a load of key veterans including defencemen Donald Morrison, Joe Vandermeer and Jason Lundmark, and forwards Robertson, Travis Brigley, Tyler Haarstad and Curtis Austring, defeated the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 5-2 last weekend at Lacombe in their lone preseason game to date.
Bentley and the Sylvan Lake Admirals will hook up in another exhibition game on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Penhold Regional Multiplex.

I put a 3.5# Scherer connection in my G23 hoping to improving the trigger. Near as I can figure the trigger pull decreased from ~6# 8 oz to ~5# 2oz. Should I do a happy dance or be disappointed ?

That's about all they will lower it. Did you polish the internals a little while you were in there. It seems to help some also.
October 5, 2008, 09:01 PM
Replace the trigger and striker springs with 6 lb springs, it will smooth and lighten the pull. The springs are availible from Ghost for about $6.00. I have installed them on my 19,22,23 and 26 and they really do help. The 6lb striker will give you a definite feel as to when the trigger will release and it also gives you a heavier hit on the primer.
October 5, 2008, 10:07 PM
I heard that a 4# striker spring will give you a lighter trigger pull. You find the 6# striker spring works better?
October 5, 2008, 10:12 PM
I got the same results with my model 30 & 23. I don't believe I want mine any lighter though.

Get a wolff competition spring set for the striker, plunger and trigger. It will make a large improvement in lowering the trigger pull weight. Also, beveling the plunger safety helped too. And yes, polish the internals.
Good luck.
October 5, 2008, 10:22 PM
I don't have a trigger pull gauge- but it didn't make tons of difference in my 23- the stack is a bit smoother though and for the price I was content with the switch.
October 13, 2008, 05:25 PM
FYI I went ahead and installed a Wolff Competition Pak #33230 which made the trigger definitely break cleaner and feel more crisp. Trigger pull results were as follows:
~6# 8oz. OEM
~5# 2.5oz [20% drop] after 3.5# Scherer connector
~4# 4.3 oz [35% drop] after 3.5# Scherer connector and Wolff Competition Pak

Just wondering, is this on your CC pistol? I only ask because some people seem to freak out when I mention doing ANYTHING to my stock G17 that I CC.
Sorry, don't mean to thread-jack :)

I can hardly believe what I witnessed yesterday afternoon. It was shocking at least to me.
I sat in the audience as my 17-year-old niece and goddaughter Kelly graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School.
The reason I find this hard to believe is because she's only 3 - you know, in my head.
Every time I look at this beautiful young woman, I see the little girl whom I've cherished from the moment she came into my life in 1994. The first grandchild of my side of the immediate family, she was handily the center of our universe ... until those dumb boy babies known as my nephew and son came along for no other reason than to irritate her.
Yep, when I gaze upon her, I see the bundle of fun with the golden Shirley Temple locks who loved train-watching and who would beg "Don't say me!" whenever she wanted you to cease from telling her "no" for any particular reason.
Yet now, we've arrived at a decidedly "yes" moment in time.
Yes, she is grown, and yes, she is moving on. Yes, her entire family is proud of the strong, smart, sweet and sympathetic adult she has become.
So, as she walked across the stage and received her diploma, I could hardly conceive that yes, indeed, Kelly will head off to college in September.
COLLEGE. In September. Again, odd for a toddler but, whatever.
And so, with the knowledge that my little sweet pea going off to pursue her undergraduate degree in a short few months swirling about my gray matter, I tried to put it to good use. "Patty, what words of wisdom can you offer to Kelly?" thought I.
Well, first and foremost, I want to tell her - and all graduating high school seniors - to always remain true to the foundation laid out for you by your parents, grandparents, guardians and / or mentors. Allow yourself to be guided by a good moral compass, and you're sure to be moving in the right direction.
More helpful advice came in the form of some of the finest counsel I've heard yet - which came courtesy of the Most Reverend George V. Murry, bishop of the Youngstown Diocese (which includes Mahoning and Trumbull counties). Bishop Murry also happens to be a former Secretary of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, just FYI.
During his address to Kelly's class at their recent baccalaureate Mass, he shared with them some pointers that he wished someone would have given to him at age 18.
"Pick your companions well," he advised, noting that the company you keep has a definitive impact of the accomplishments you will achieve - or not. He offered that Jesus Christ is the best companion anyone might ever select. Agreed.
Bishop Murry also cautioned the kids that the leisure season of their lives has ceased and that the decisions they now make will deeply influence their paths. Also, he reminded them that they will need to answer for their decisions heretofore. "Time is not on your side ... it will go by more quickly than you can realize, so don't waste time on unimportant things and don't take time for granted," he said.
Lastly, he told them to be there. Paraphrasing the book "This I Believe," which is based on a popular NPR series, he told them that their willingness to aid a friend in trouble or need will define their character.
"You don't have to speak to just be there for someone who is hurting. Your presence will speak volumes."
Yes, working hard, managing time well and giving back to family, friends, and strangers alike - these are all ingredients in the recipe of a successful life, which is one well-lived and rooted in service to others regardless of net worth or material acquisitions, BTW.
Oh, and one last bit of advice, Kels, check in with old Aunt Patty. A lot.

Inuit Myths and Legends
The Inuit are an "imaginative, hardy and resourceful people" wrote famed Igloo Dweller James Houston. The Inuit (meaning simply "the people") make their home in the Arctic, encompassing the vast, rugged land from the Bering Sea through Alaska and northern Canada to Greenland. Theirs is a semi-nomadic life that traces back to as early as 1000 AD when their ancestors (the Thule) moved eastwards from Alaska to the Arctic.
Across thousands of miles and over hundreds of years, the Inuit have maintained and preserved their unique cultural identity through language, lifestyle, artwork, and their mysterious, surprising and beautiful myths and legends. Here, we present just a handful that touch on recurring themes, including origin stories, parables, communion with animals, and the Inuit belief, fear, and reverence of the spiritual world.
The Mosquito
One of the shortest Inuit tales involves a boy, a mosquito, and a sweet insight: "Onto a boy's arm came a mosquito. "Don't hit! Don't hit!" it hummed, "Grandchildren have I to sing to." "Imagine," the boy said, "So small and yet a grandfather." (From "Inuit Myth and Legend")
At the centre of a creation myth is Sedna, the goddess of the sea. There are variations to the story of Sedna, but one fact remains constant: the loss of her fingers, which become sea creatures.
One variation has Sedna as a beautiful woman who refuses the marriage proposals of all the hunters in her village. When a strange hunter appears offering to exchange fish for her marriage, Sedna's father agrees, slips his daughter a sleeping potion and hands her over to the strange hunter. When Sedna awakes, she finds the hunter transformed into a great raven. Her father, seeing his mistake, races to her rescue, but in anger, the raven creates a storm, and in desperation, the father throws Sedna into the raging sea. Sedna clings to the kayak, but her fingers freeze and fall off, and they become the creatures of the sea. She herself drops to the ocean floor, grows a fishtail, and becomes the goddess of the sea.
In another more severe variation, Sedna's father takes an axe to her clinging fingers and chops them off. The fingers become a different species of seal, and Sedna, after a blow to the head, falls into the sea where she lives ever after, commanding the sea creatures. With such power, Sedna became an important deity, worshipped by hunters who depended on her goodwill for their livelihood.
Other variations cast the strange hunter as a dog who impregnates Sedna; Sedna as a giant who attacks her parents in a delirious hunger, and Sedna as a mistreated orphan. All versions end with Sedna clinging desperately to a kayak only to have her fingers (in some versions, her hands and forearms) chopped off and transformed into seals, walruses and whales.
The child-snatching monster is a well-worn parental tool that transcends culture and time. It's purpose: to frighten children into obedience. Most Canadians are familiar with the bogeyman. Germans have the butzemann, Icelanders the female troll Grýla, the Dutch have the cannibalistic Oude Rode Ogen ("Old Red Eyes"), and Spanish children must contend with el hombre del saco. The Inuit have Qalupalik, a human-sea-monster hybrid with green skin, long hair and witchy fingernails.
The Qalupalik preys on wandering children by snatching them into her amautik (a baby sling) and taking them into the sea as her own. The Qalupalik is said to hum ominously, so when a child is alone, away from the safety of the community, a hum is the last noise he hears of the human world. In this NFB animation by Ame Papatsie, the young boy Anguti is taken by Qalupalik, forcing his father to go on a rescue mission into the sea.
The Owl and the Raven
Using seal fur puppets and stop-motion animation, "The Owl and the Raven" recounts the origin story of how the raven got its jet-black feathers.
The Owl Who Married a Goose
An owl and a goose find themselves in a surprising, bitter-sweet love affair in this award-winning animation by Caroline Leaf. Of the story's moral, Leaf writes, "Clearly, to the Inuit, the foolish owl has broken an important rule of the North: don't try to be something other than what you are. Survival depends upon following closely the rules of nature." The film uses sand and recordings of Inuit women mimicking the sounds of animals.

ArenaNet's global brand director Chris Lye remains tight-lipped about the future of Guild Wars 2 on console, but opens up about the state of free-to-play in the industry, and the studio's plan to keep Guild Wars running after the sequel hits stores.
Q: Community Manager Regina Buenaobra has stated there is a small team currently exploring the possibilities of a GW2 console port. Could you describe how that is going?
Chris Lye: Currently we are focussed on making GW2 the best PC MMO ever released.
Q: Even amongst PC gamers MMOs can have a slightly off-coloured reputation. Can MMOs appeal to traditional hardcore gamers?
CL: We certainly believe so – for us it's not simply about delivering a great MMO, we want Guild Wars 2 to be a great game – period! We think that Guild Wars 2's lack of a subscription fee and its accessible and more action-oriented combat will appeal to a lot of PC games who would not otherwise consider playing an MMO.
Q: What are your feelings on WoW's new First-20-Levels-Free scheme? Will the free-to-play trend result in all MMOs having a free element in the future?
CL: Guild Wars has always been a champion of free online play and we think you'll definitely see more experiments in free elements in the MMO space.
Q: Are modern MMO players less willing to pay for things compared to in the past?
CL: No I don't think that's entirely accurate. I think that this is reflective of web culture in general – MMO players are savvy and want a chance to try something for free before they're ready to start putting a lot of money into it. However, once they're convinced that you're delivering a valuable product, they are more than willing to open their wallets.

I found the article by Conners et al1 in the January issue of the Archives very interesting. However, the data in their paper do not support one of their conclusions that coins lodged in the proximal or middle esophagus for more than 24 hours do not pass into the stomach and should be removed. If the authors had waited longer than 24 hours, it is certainly possible that more, most, or all the coins would have passed into the stomach.
A 1985 telephone survey2 in Salt Lake City, Utah, of 65 practicing pediatricians revealed that 77% would not obtain a radiograph of an asymtomatic child who swallowed a coin. It is also likely that a large number of coin ingestions never come to the attention of the parent or the physician. In spite of the large number of coin ingestions, many of which undoubtedly include coins lodged in

Re: On being Female in an Aikido Dojo
I'm glad things are working out for "Kai Lynn".
Brava, Ashley Hemsath, for everything you said. Dead on.
"Ayu," all the things you said sounded pretty positive, but then you said you were thinking about quitting. Are you having gender-related problems at your dojo?
I am lucky to be in a very balanced dojo. Not quite 50/50, but everyone trains together very well.
It's hard to know, when you are a beginner, how to take it when people are "too gentle" with you. I started at age 46, and was quite out of shape. Add age, fitness level, and being a newbie together, and you've got all kinds of good reasons for not training full out, and rightly so. I don't think any of what I experienced at first was due to being a woman. That said, there were a few people who didn't baby me at all, and I really enjoyed training with them. Now nobody babies me (yes, they train appropriate to my level, they don't try to kill me). :-)
The changing room thing is awkward. We usually have at least several women, and several men, in each class, so it's less like getting sent away by yourself after class is over. But there have been a few times I've been the only woman in class. I'm usually not even aware of that until I go to change. It is a lonely feeling. I've seen it go the other way, too, where there's only one guy in class, and he's off by himself afterward. One thing that helps that situation, and was the case in both our old location and the current one, is that the changing rooms are not accoustically isolated from each other. We can talk back and forth. It takes a little louder voice, but you can carry on a conversation somewhat, and hear what's being said. If I were designing a dojo, I'd be sure it worked this way. Maybe with just a couple of layers of fabric serving as a wall, or part of a wall. It's a minor thing, but it helps. In any case, the separation is not personal, whichever way it goes.

In the following video, Fool analysts Jeremy Phillips and Austin Smith talk about why they see Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) as a buy.
Jeremy just recently purchased shares of Starbucks based on a recommendation from the Fool's Supernova service, and it's one of the few bricks-and-mortar stores he says he'd consider owning. It comes down to consumables: Starbucks sells products that people buy every day -- products they see as essential as napkins or toilet paper, he says.
That means Starbucks offers the safety of a consumer brand such as Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) , but with 10% growth.
The stock sells at about 30 times earnings, which may seem like a lot for a company that has so saturated the U.S. market, Austin says. But Starbucks has expanded into different areas, including baked goods, single-serve coffee brewers, and energy drinks. That's given Starbucks, already a very strong brand, many new avenues for possible growth.

It's official. In the battle of the sexes over precious post-recession jobs, women have beaten men.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 54.62 million of the nation's private sector jobs last month were held by women. That puts women's employment just above where it was before the recession hit. And this means that, as a group, women have recovered all the jobs they lost during the Great Recession and then some.
But men? Not so much.
According to a New York Times story analyzing employment trends by sex, men, who collectively hold down 59.43 million of America's private sector jobs, are still about 2.8 percent below their employment levels before the recession.
As a group, men remain down by about 1.8 million jobs, compared to pre-recession employment levels, according to the New York Times. Of course, men hold more jobs overall than women.
So what gives?
The Times argues that the faster jobs recovery among women isn't a case of employers picking women over men. Indeed, in some industries, women's share of the labor force is down from what it was when the recession began, the newspaper points out.
Rather, women have recovered jobs faster because a select few professions dominated by female workers have done far better in the slow, steady job gains under the so-called New Normal economy.
The Times cites the health care sector as a shining example buoying the employment prospects of women. Heath care-related employment kept going up even during the deep recessionary downturn. And it took the fortunes of female workers up right along with it, the Times points out.
PennLive has requested similar employment information by sex from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, to see if women's faster employment recovery can be seen in our state as well. I will share that data as soon as I receive it, hopefully later today on PennLive.
Meanwhile, the stark differences in the jobs recovery by sex points up various societal questions. What does this mean for families? And how will the faster-rising female-dominated employment sectors, such as health care, change if there is an influx of men seeking employment there?
More male nurses, anyone?
Chime in with your thoughts about how the job market is doing, and whether you think your sex has anything to do with whether you land that next job or not.
