The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is a member of a coalition that is supporting the nomination of Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court.
"The President has nominated someone who is extremely well-qualified and who understands the lives of ordinary Americans. The daughter of a housing lawyer and school teacher, and herself a committed educator and public servant, Elena Kagan understands the effects of the courts' decisions on ordinary people," said Wade Henderson, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. "We believe she will uphold the Constitution and the law to provide equal justice and protect personal freedoms for everyone in America, not just a few."
That is a totally ridiculous and outrageous statement. There is no way this ultra far left liberal will uphold the Constitution -- she will make mincemeat of it. Equal justice? Where is the equal justice for the innocent, voiceless unborn whose lives are snuffed out by the thousands daily? Where is the equal justice for those students who were discriminated against by her at Harvard who were denied access to a military recruiter on campus during a time when our country was at war?
Elena Kagan has zero experience. She has never heard a single court case in her life. Elena Kagan is a pro-abort who has stated that tax-payer dollars should be used to fund abortion. Kagan has publicly criticized federal regulations that prohibited recipients of Title X family planning funds, from counseling women to get abortions and she helped keep partial abortion legal by counseling President Clinton to support a phony ban on partial abortions sponsored by pro-abortion ex-Senator Tom Daschle. Kagan is also a member of the National Partnership for Women and Families (NPWF), a pro-abortion organization with strong ties to NARAL Pro-Choice America and Emily's List. The goal the NPWF is "to increase women's access to...reproductive health services and block attempts to limit reproductive rights...and to give every woman access to...abortion services..."
The USCCB is one of more than 200 organizations that belong to the coalition.

So here's my little story.
The other day my buddy wants to take me to lunch at a local Mexican restaurant. So I show up a little early, sit down, and order a Corona. As I'm munching on some chips and salsa, I overhear the daughter of a couple at the next table say "I don't understand why the kids at school hate Mormons so much."
After that they were talking fairly hushed so I couldn't hear much after that. I wanted to say, "Well they probably hate atheists more and why do…Continue

'Bad Words': Jason Bateman At His Finest
How do you spell awesome? J-A-S-O-N B-A-T-E-M-A-N. I haven't seen a kickass indie film since 2011's '50/50' starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. While 'Bad Words' isn't as brilliant as 'I'm with Cancer' (original title), Jason Bateman is. I have never seen him more invested, more witty, or more deadpan. Watch out, Bill Murray, Jason Bateman's coming for your throne.
'Bad Words,' written by Andrew Dodge and directed by Bateman ('Arrested Development', 'Teen Wolf Too'), surrounds bitter 40-year-old elementary school dropout Guy Trilby (Bateman). After discovering a spelling bee loophole, he makes enemies of every single parent, principal and spelling bee coordinator within a 500-mile radius as he attempts to take the national Spelling Bee championship hosted by industry captain, Dr. Bowman. Like NBC's 'Community,' it takes the 20-something Caucasian slacker, ages him and adds a dark twist.
'Bad Words' shows Bateman at his most effing awesome. His ability to rip off flagrant, ear-flaming insults without flinching is impressive. Although he easily harnesses the same dry sarcasm as his indie predecessor, Bill Murray, he does so while remaining 150% invested. His performance, even more than the script, kept me invested me from start to finish. While Bateman's narrative-oriented directing style wasn't as brilliant as his performance, it was unobtrusive. Although I found Bateman's hollowed out anger captivating, Andrew Dodge did an amazing job writing-wise. I find it hard to believe he's a first time scriptwriter, considering the script's spot on nuance. All the same, 'Bad Words'' #8 position on the 2011 Blacklist, highlights the script's promise and hilarity.
What wasn't brilliant was the script's ongoing Indian and vagina jokes. As an African-American female writer, I can't pretend they didn't make me uncomfortable. Racism isn't funny. Sexism isn't funny. We can say we're in a post-racial society, but we aren't. Do we need to lighten up? Yes. Do we need to mock race? Yes. But, it's dangerous when a Caucasian writer writing to an assumedly majority Caucasian audience only racially mocks and sexually displays the non-White characters (this goes for all races). We've only moved beyond racism when a writer isn't tempted to make certain jokes and when the audience doesn't find them funny. Halfway through the film I realized the ongoing curry jokes weren't necessary. Plus, I noticed Dodge portrayed the female characters as shrill. Only the female characters underwent sexual body part jokes. Only the female characters received comeuppance by male characters they berated. And, only the male characters actually succeeded in wounding Trilby's pride without receiving a similar sexual cut down. The scene that made me absolutely uncomfortable surrounded a character who looked like me aiming her naked breasts at the camera for twenty seconds (trust me) while jiggling. It was unnecessary and degrading. Why did the only nude scene feature an African-American character? Why was the only African-American character a prostitute? For a script I found mostly hilarious, these shades of gray made me wonder about the writer and our society.
While 'Bad Words' was funny, Jason Bateman was funnier. While you won't get the typical, dark, twisty, 'Magnolia'-style Indie ending, you'll go home happy, especially in Master Wordsmith Master Bateman. Despite his awesome 'Arrested Development,' 'Juno,' 'Smokin Aces,' etc. awesome sauce-ness, his 'Bad Words' performance knocked me for a loop. So, if you watch the film, watch it for him. Yes, the script's funny, excluding the aforementioned bits. Yes, Rohan Chand is so unbelievably cute that he makes your ovaries self-reproduce. Yes, the cast features Kathryn Hahn as the gal friday and Allison Janney channeling her 'Mr. Peabody' role. But, Jason Bateman is so deliciously dirty as the guy, Guy Trilby, that you can't help egging him on. Jason Bateman isn't just fine to look at, he gives a mighty fine show. Trilby's that bad because Bateman's that good.
What's another word for amazing? Bateman. Jason Bateman.

Bugzilla – Bug 29
terminatorX 3.8.3-1 segfaults on start-up
Last modified: 2011-11-27 20:44:25 CET
How to reproduce:
1. Install the TerminatorX-rpm-package in Fedora 15 (64 bit) -> '3.8.3-1 x86_64'
2. Start jackd 1.9.7
3. Run terminatorX from a terminal
4. You get the error message: 'Segmentation fault'
5. dmesg says:
[ 4953.200054] terminatorX[2631]: segfault at 0 ip 0000003fa6068283 sp 00007fff3e313d38 error 6 in libstdc++.so.6.0.16[3fa6000000+e8000]
For me this happens every time I try to open terminatorX. This is possibly a Fedora 15 related bug, because I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed before and there were no problems.
Same issue over here. Running Fedora 15 x64 and terminatorX seg faults as soon as you launch it..
I am really hoping to try terminatorX out. If this bug could be escalated and/or figured out, it would be greatly appreciated.
i'm having this same problem using ubuntu 11.10.
Confirmed with Ubuntu 11.10 on 64 bit platform. Looks like a g++ anomaly, the tX code that triggers the crash seems OK. Currently working on a workaround.
New release 3.84 is now available on terminatorX.org which has a work around for this regression. Tested on Ubuntu only but the Fedora issue seems identical, so it should be resolved, too. Let me know if this is not the case, thanks!
*** Bug 27 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thank you very much for your efforts! Unfortunately I didn't find any rpm packages on planet ccrma, is this going to be updated?
If there isn't an rpm available soon, I'll compile terminatorX myself to check whether it is working.
There is a new build available at RPM Fusion:
It is working flawlessly! Thanks.

- Manipulating Majorana fermions in one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled atomic Fermi gases
- Author(s)
- Liu, Xia-Ji; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- Majorana fermions are promising candidates for storing and processing information in topological quantum computation. The ability to control such individual information carriers in trapped ultracold atomic Fermi gases is a novel theme in quantum information science. However, fermionic atoms are neutral and thus are difficult to manipulate. Here, we theoretically investigate the control of emergent Majorana fermions in one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled atomic Fermi gases. We discuss (i) how to move Majorana fermions by increasing or decreasing an effective Zeeman field, which acts like a solid-state control voltage gate, and (ii) how to create a pair of Majorana fermions by adding a magnetic impurity potential. We discuss the experimental realization of our control scheme in an ultracold Fermi gas of 40K atoms.

After about a month of speculation, former Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini has officially been named the next Manchester City manager. After Roberto Mancini's sacking, the Chilean tinkerer was firmly installed as the clear choice for the job.
The former Villarreal and Real Madrid boss will have a lot of work to do if he is to turn City around from a poor 2012/13 season. A meekly-surrendered title, a shambolic Champions League display and a disheartening FA Cup final loss to Wigan only begin to tell the story.
Pellegrini has shown he can make something out of nothing, taking Villarreal to the Champions League semifinals and a second-place La Liga finish. He also pulled financially hurting Malaga to within seconds of the same European landmark.
Of course, he has also shown he can work with a big club, taking Real Madrid to its then-highest Liga points total of 96 in his one season at the helm. He was unfortunate to run into Pep Guardiola's world-beating juggernaut that season, and was promptly shown the door.
After three strong seasons in Andalusia, Pellegrini has a vast challenge ahead of him at Eastlands. If he is to avoid the same fate as he suffered at the Bernabeu, here are a few areas that he must succeed in.

Allahpundit @ Hot Air:
Turns out, contra Esquire, he gets five years of military coverage gratis after leaving the service. It's just for him, not for his wife or kids, and he gets no pension because he didn't serve 20 years — no exceptions made for elite units that specialize in hyper-dangerous missions. But yes, for the moment he's covered. Let the record stand corrected.
More from Esquire, which is clearly peeved at having a key detail of their big scoop exposed as an exaggeration:
[W]hile the Shooter may be eligible for some direct benefits from the VA, his wife and two children are eligible for nothing. Not to get too deeply into the philosophy of insurance and the distribution of risk, but that means that under the best scenario, the Shooter is 1/4 covered, which of course means that he is not covered at all. It would be like having a 1/4 roof during a storm. Your house still fills with water. What good does it do the man if he can go to a government chiropractor for his neck when (heaven forbid) his child could get sick and wipe out the family? It is a simple fact that when your family doesn't have healthcare, you don't have healthcare…
Sources from the VA tell us that only 40% of eligible veterans use the benefits, because, as was the case with the Shooter, they aren't aware the benefits exist. The same VA source lamented this fact and wondered why veterans aren't automatically enrolled, saying that "it would be a nice service for soldiers….if benefits were explained." As for the VA benefit itself, it is fairly liberal where it sets the "service-related claims" bar, but there are vagaries about what is covered and what isn't, what requires payment and what doesn't, illnesses versus accidents, etc. The same VA source said that for instance, "if a veteran had other insurance and [the claim] was non-service connected,the VA would not cover it. There are also a bunch of other stipulations that come into play that affect our ability to pay or not pay." And in the magazine's reporting on the subject, one thing has become clear – many veterans, veteran advocates, and VA officials we spoke with did not display a well-informed grasp of the benefit.
Esquire claims that the print version of the article mentions that the Shooter is eligible for five years of coverage, but that detail was mysteriously omitted from the online version and then quietly reinserted once the controversy started bubbling last night. Since when do online versions of articles, which aren't bound by space constraints, shorter than their print counterparts? And if the print version mentions the caveat about five years of coverage, why is this passage still included in the online version?

Tree of Life
Materials: clay, paint and wire
The name "Tree of Life" comes from the Mayans who believed that the gods used the ceiba tree to raise up the heavens in order to allow life to flourish on earth. The tree itself represented the three worlds: the upper world where the gods resided, the middle world that the living inhabited and the underworld where the dead rested. The trunk became a path for the gods and the deceased to move between the worlds.
When the conquistadores landed in Central America, they tried to eradicate the Mayans' religious beliefs. Instead of abandoning them completely, the Mayans incorporated them with the new Christian beliefs. El Día de los Muertos is a good representation of these blended beliefs. Many Mexicans believe that their deceased loved ones briefly return to this world during the Day of the Dead celebration, which takes place over two Catholic holidays: All Saints Day and All Souls Day. They honor them by constructing private altars, preparing food, praying and attending vigils.
Our Tree of Life artifact is a three-tiered candelabrum that can be placed on a private altar and lit during the celebration. It stands 13½ inches tall by 12 inches wide and is made of painted clay. Its brightest colors, such as red, pink and yellow, are tempered by its more moderate colors of blue, green and purple. Figures of Adam and Eve, with apple in hand, recreate their expulsion from the Garden of Eden while the Devil in snake form slithers down the tree trunk. Birds, fruit and flowers adorn its branches.

The Crosby Hat Trick
Penguins 6, Canadiens 1October 29, 2009 12:00 PM
Sidney Crosby's line was the only one coach Dan Bylsma kept intact for the Penguins' game against Montreal at Mellon Arena last night.
It practically was the only he had to use, too.
Oh, it's not that Crosby and his wingers, Chris Kunitz and Bill Guerin, were the only ones to contribute to the Penguins' 6-1 victory over the Canadiens.
Fact is, just about every Penguins who stepped onto the ice chipped in with something significant.
But no one did more than Crosby and his linemates. Consider:
• Crosby scored the Penguins' first, second and fourth goals for his third career hat trick, accounted for nine of the Penguins' 37 shots and went 16-8 on faceoffs.
• Kunitz scored his first goal of the season -- and just his second in
41 games, including playoffs -- after piling up three assists to earn his first four-point game in the NHL.
• Guerin had three assists, lifting him past Penguins alum John LeClair and into seventh place on the all-time scoring list for U.S.-born players.
It was the best game of the season for the Crosby line in just about every regard, and Guerin said he had been waiting for the group to jell the way it did against Montreal.
"We had more to give," he said. "Not just points and things like that, but playing more solid and creating more. ??? Hopefully, this is a foundation for what we can do the rest of the season."
Having a cornerstone like Crosby helps with that foundation. He was dominant in just about every facet of play.
"Sid definitely was ready for a big night, a big breakout game," Guerin said.
He put the Penguins in front when he converted a feed from Guerin at
8:33 of the opening period, shoveled the rebound of a Kunitz shot past Canadiens goalie Jaroslav Halak on a backhand at 5:08 of the second and completed his hat trick at 15:33 of the second, when Halak stopped his shot from close range, only to have the puck strike his right skate and go in.
"I was pretty sure that I didn't kick it;" Crosby said.
A video review reached the same conclusion.
While getting three goals was a rarity for Crosby, simply scoring one might have been even more novel for Kunitz.
When he beat goalie Carey Price, who replaced Halak after the second period, on a breakaway at 16:31 of the third, it ended a dry spell that had dragged on longer than anyone could have anticipated.
"(Kunitz) has been looking for that one for a long time," Guerin said.
"He's been pressing. A big night like that will do a lot for a guy."
Kunitz said that, "definitely, it feels good," and his co-workers might have enjoyed his goal even more than Kunitz did.
"To get one all alone on a breakaway like that, making a great move, he was very deserving of it and it was a great way to cap off a big night for him," Crosby said.
The Penguins had to reconfigure three of their lines last night because of an unspecified injury to right winger Tyler Kennedy, who did not play.
Chris Bourque played alongside Evgeni Malkin and Ruslan Fedotenko, Jordan Staal was between Matt Cooke and Craig Adams and the fourth line had Pascal Dupuis and Eric Godard on the wings with Mike Rupp in the middle.
Shifting to center from his usual spot on the left side didn't seem to bother Rupp, because he scored his third goal of the season. That matched his output in 72 games with New Jersey last season.
Rupp didn't get much attention after the game and neither did goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, even though he stopped all but one of the 24 shots Montreal threw at him.
The only one that eluded him was by Tomas Plekanec from directly in front of the crease during a five-on-three power play at 5:39 of the third period. If not for that goal, Fleury would have earned his 16th career shutout -- and first against the team he grew up rooting for.
The same team, it should be noted, Crosby cheered for as a boy. And that he now has torched for 10 goals and 12 assists in 15 career games.

What is in this article?:
- Eye on Crops, June 24, 2011
- Milford, NE
Iroquois County, IL
Field activity has been minimal this week. On June 18, we were able to spray postemergence herbicides on 240 acres and we have not been back in the field since then. This morning, June 24, a neighbor began sidedressing nitrogen on his later-planted corn.
We received a range of 0.6 to 0.9 in. of rain on June 20. The next day we received 0.1-0.2 in. on our farms. The next couple days were cooler and cloudy with some light showers that were not measureable.
Corn in the area is now anywhere from V4 to V10 growth stage. It ranges from 8 in. to 3 ft. tall. At V9 stalk growth will occur rapidly through internode elongation. Corn growth is equal to or even behind where we were at in 2009 in our local area.
Soybean growth ranges from the V1 growth stage to the R1 growth stage. The fields that are at the V5-V6 growth stages are now flowering.
After a week of volatile markets, the local closing bids for June 23 were $6.83 for nearby corn, $6.14 for new-crop corn, $13.24 for nearby soybeans and $12.85 for new-crop soybeans.

Adidas Cycling Sunglasses: A Technical Approach
Sunglasses masquerading as ski goggles and alarming aviator style shades, the pro peloton has seen them all. From Greg Lemond to Ryder Hejesdal exclamations of "what IS he wearing" have been heard in cycling cafes worldwide. However Adidas Cycling Sunglasses take a more technical approach, with understated design (by cycling standards that is) they let their riders do the talking.
When it comes to cycling sunglasses the lenses house the majority of the tech; a good pair of lenses and the right ones for the right conditions can negate the split second panic that occurs as you descend tree-lined mountains or when the sunlight glares off wet roads.
Adidas' LST (Light Stabilizing Technology) Lenses offer 100% protection against UVA, UVB and UVC radiation and a pleasing brightening effect despite high light absorption, alongside enhanced contrast vision. This translates not only to protection but also to a clearer view of what lies ahead in a variety of conditions. Featured in all of the Adidas Cycling Sunglasses from the Elite Level Halfrim Pro to the more full wrap Adizero Tempo.
The technical approach would not be complete however without a compatibility with prescription lenses. Opticians that stock Adidas should be able to make up a set of LST lenses allowing you to take full advantage of Adidas' technical approach.
The ergonomics of Adidas' frames allow for an accurate fit and independent adjustments can be made to the nose piece and arms to eradicate pinching around the nose and behind the ears.

PORT PERRY -- It might have been a single spark that started the blaze, 130 years ago now, that nearly destroyed Port Perry's entire downtown core.
More likely, it was the forgotten fire of a blacksmith, who absentmindedly walked away from his forge after a long day of work in a hotel stable.
The exact cause of the 1884 fire, which broke out in the early morning hours of July 3 and razed blocks of buildings, has never been confirmed. But the massive destruction, and subsequent rebuilding of the town's commercial core, certainly helped shape Port Perry for the century to come.
In the early 1800s, Port Perry was a small, vibrant town of about 1,500 people, with gristmills, sawmills and tanneries sitting along the Lake Scugog waterfront. A large industrial area had been built up in the section of town just north of Queen Street and east of Simcoe Street, which now houses the Scout Hall, municipal office and library.
"There was every kind of manufacturing industry you could imagine," says Peter Hvidsten, a well-known Scugog historian and author. "Port Perry was a pretty thriving community prior to the fires and industry played a really big part in its growth."
Downtown, along the dirt road that stretched from east to west, the jagged streetscape featured a mishmash of wooden buildings, some two stories tall and others three. Some structures practically sat on the street while others were set back a few steps from the roadway.
Inside, merchants of all types carried out their business as dry goods and grocery stores dotted the street, as well as a general store or two and a post office.
In July of 1884, life in Port Perry had just returned to somewhat normal after a fire the previous fall ripped through a stretch of downtown.
That big blaze, which occurred around midnight on Nov. 26, 1883, began somewhere near the rear of the Port Perry House hotel, located at the corner of Queen Street and Water Street and what is now the Port Perry CIBC branch. Fanned by powerful winds from the southeast, the blaze wiped out at least one-third of the businesses on the north side of Queen Street. In total, five buildings, housing dozens of businesses, were destroyed. The total value of the damage at that time was estimated at about $150,000.
It is thought the blaze was started by a furnace, hot ashes or a lamp.
The people of Port Perry, however, showed their resilience and within months tenders had been sent out and planning for the rebuilding of Port Perry had begun. By spring, work began on rebuilding the town and by the end of June, Port Perry was once again a thriving community.
At least until the early morning hours of July 3, 1884.
"It was one of those hot, muggy, summer July days," says Paul Arculus, another Scugog historian and author. "It was up in the 90s that day."
History says the blaze originated somewhere in the stables behind the Mansion House Hotel, which sat where the Port Perry post office is now located on Queen Street.
Like most hotels at that time, there was a stable at the back where the horses belonging to overnight guests were cared for.
"At night, the owner would check to see if the blacksmith's forge was out. They must have thought it was out that night, but obviously it wasn't," said Mr. Arculus.
"There was a bit of a breeze and the whole thing went up. The stable and the back of the hotel were ablaze before anyone knew what was going on," he said.
Encouraged by the brisk breeze, the flames spread rapidly along the south side of Queen Street, quickly tearing through the wooden buildings that lined the streetscape. Sparks drifted across Queen Street, to the north side, setting more buildings ablaze.
"It was a huge, huge, huge inferno," says Mr. Arculus. "It was an immense fire."
In total, the blaze destroyed almost every building in the downtown core on Queen Street, from John to Water streets. As well, most businesses and industries on the north side of Mary Street and the south side of North Street were razed.
It's estimated that as many as 70 buildings were destroyed.
"The 1884 fire was by far the worst of the fires; it literally wiped the town out," says Mr. Hvidsten, who documented the two major fires in his books Out Of The Ashes and Scugog Exposed.
Some building owners tried to save their businesses by pouring buckets of water on the dry timber structures. Others sent men onto the roof to sweep away sparks.
In an effort to save some of their wares, some merchants grabbed what they could from their stores and tried to stash the items in a safe place a short distance away. More often than not, the fast-spreading fire devoured the goods left on side streets.
Attempts to douse the flames with the village's lone horse-drawn pumper wagon were almost useless. The wagon, which was stored outside of the building now known as Town Hall 1873, had been left out in the snow and cold the previous winter. The frigid temperatures had frozen and then ruined the valves, leaving the pumper crippled.
"It worked very ineffectively," says Mr. Arculus. "They tried to get water going, but it was hopelessly inadequate."
The inferno lit up the night sky -- newspaper accounts say it was bright enough for Oshawa and Whitby residents to read a paper by -- and debris and other paperwork, carried by the high winds, were found as far away as Greenbank.
By morning, when the fire had burned itself out, Port Perry residents who slept through the blaze woke up to the smell of burnt wood and a smoky haze.
"It was over in a matter of hours. In a couple of hours the town was pretty much gone. Everything went and it went up very quickly," says Mr. Arculus. "When people woke up in the morning, Port Perry was just a smouldering scene."
Incredibly, no lives were lost in the fire, although a couple of the village's firefighters were injured.
The list of casualties could have been longer, points out Mr. Arculus, if the upper floors of the Queen Street buildings housed apartments like they do today instead of being used as sales space.
"That saved a lot of lives," speculates Mr. Arculus.
While stunned by the second major fire in less than a year that ravaged their downtown, the people of Port Perry once again were determined to rebuild.
It wasn't long before new supplies -- food and other necessary items -- began arriving on the train that ran along Port Perry's waterfront, in what is now Palmer Park. With goods in hand, the village's merchants started setting up tents and selling their wares while others built wooden shacks.
"They started the businesses up again very quickly," says Mr. Arculus.
By the end of July, just weeks after the massive fire, the village was buzzing with building activity -- and the arrival of insurance salesmen, who used the disaster to try and drum up business.
"They had a heyday," says Mr. Arculus.
Damage at the time was estimated to be about $800,000, which translates into about a $5-million loss in today's dollars, he adds.
In the weeks after the fire, with lessons learned from the two recent blazes, the village's civic leaders introduced some very tough and stringent building bylaws which outlawed the use of wood in the downtown for the construction of buildings. Bricks, they figured, would stop any future fires from spreading through the downtown core again. As well, it was mandated that the new buildings had to run in a straight, even line along Queen Street -- no more zig-zagging.
In the rush to rebuild, the demand for bricks went sky high and the local brickyard quickly ran out of stock. Builders then turned to the Fox brickyard in Lindsay, whose signature red bricks can be seen today in buildings that stretch through Port Perry's downtown.
"There were huge barge loads of bricks coming down Lake Scugog from Lindsay," says Mr. Arculus.
By September, the Port Perry of today started to take shape. The Blong Block, which now houses Tweed and Hickory and The Wee Tartan Shop, opened that month. A month later, the Thompson House, a hotel located where the CIBC branch now is, swung open its doors.
Slowly, over the six months that followed the fire, buildings sprung back up throughout the downtown core and Port Perry was reborn.
"All the buildings we see today, essentially, they were all completely rebuilt at the same time, all in six months," says Mr. Arculus. "Port Perry is very special in that it was completed so quickly and that gives us that architectural uniformity because everything was built at the same time.
"Almost all of the downtown was built using that one style and that makes the town quite unique."
That October, in the middle of the building boom, the village's councillors also made another key decision for the community -- they approved the purchase of a new, steam-powered fire engine for $6,000.
"The Port Perry we see today is like it is because of the 1884 fire," explains Mr. Hvidsten. "Port Perry is unique among small Ontario towns because all of the buildings are uniform and similar in style because the entire downtown was built within a year.
"People were very energetic about getting back to work and Port Perry was rebuilt in a reasonably short period of time... they virtually rebuilt the town in a year," he says.
Over the century or so that followed the fire, Port Perry was a typical Ontario town. It wasn't until a few decades ago that the town started to evolve into a tourist destination with its historical downtown as the main drawing card.
Today, it's a must-see attraction for daytrippers who like to combine browsing through boutique shops with a step back into Victorian times.
"It's a big part of our marketing," says Kenna Kozak, who oversees the operations of the Port Perry BIA and Scugog Chamber of Commerce. "There are lots of towns that have a Victorian feel, but they don't have the same grandeur as Port Perry."
And for that, she says, credit must be given to those who own the buildings today.
"We are extremely fortunate to have a really strong ownership group in our community. A lot of the buildings need some TLC and they've been willing to put the money into them to maintain the heritage and that's important," says Ms. Kozak.
"The building owners play a pivotal role in our development and our success."
But things do break, things fall apart and things fall off.
It's hard -- and expensive -- work to keep the buildings from showing their age while still showcasing their age.
"It's pride of ownership and over the years it's been a family effort," says Dan Stone, whose family has owned a stretch of prominent buildings on Queen Street since about 1970. "We made a conscious decision years ago to bring the buildings back.
"It's like the movie (Field of Dreams). If you build it, they will come, and they have."
The Stone family owns the 'Lot 9' buildings on the northwest corner of the Perry and Queen streets intersection -- in the centre of downtown -- and has spent countless hours over the past two decades scraping paint off bricks, repairing parapets and renovating storefronts.
The key to the renovations, says Mr. Stone, is to find the best balance between the past and the present.
"You don't want to own a museum, but you do want a viable heritage building. It has to look like it's from 1884, but be relevant to the 21st century."
Years ago, recalls Mr. Stone, visitors to Port Perry rarely wandered west of Perry Street when strolling on Queen Street, preferring to stay in the area where most of the restored heritage buildings were.
Now, with more and more owners pouring money into refurbishments and renovations -- plus the introduction of the heritage conservation district to protect the downtown core -- the entire town is benefiting, he says.
"The people who own the buildings live here and work here. They really care," says Mr. Stone.

Let the groans commence. We know that there are at least a few of you who'll hate discovering the fact that they're re-releasing Jurassic Park, but this time it'll be shown off in stunning 3D. Yeah, we know that doesn't sound appealing but idea of seeing that darn T-Rex on the big screen in 3D makes the four-year-old me want to run out of the theater screaming all over again.
Today the fine folks at Universal Pictures debuted the first official poster for Jurassic Park 3D, something that none of us ever thought we'd see. But taking a glance at what is a pretty striking first poster reminds us that this franchise is alive and well. Since we're part of a cinematic environment where the most popular of movies could be subjected to the 3D treatment, this shouldn't come off as too much of a surprise.
Another thing that we should put into consideration is the probability of the long talked about Jurassic Park 4 getting off the ground when this comes out in the early half of next year. Who knows? Maybe this'll spark Steven Spielberg's interest enough to finally get the creative wheels completely turning on the beloved franchise. All right, we know that it's unofficially slated to be released at some point in 2014 but so far we haven't seen enough evidence to convince us that Jurassic Park 4 is legitimately happening. Come on Spielberg and company, we want more dinosaur goodness! Either way it'll be fun to see this in 3D when it storms out in theaters on April 5, 2013.
What do you think of the Jurassic Park 3D poster?

Upon arrival at La Selva's main dock, the lodge staff will take your luggage and lead you on a hike of about 15 minutes into the jungle to the beautiful Garzacocha Lake. You will cross this rainforest lake in a paddle canoe to reach the lodge on the opposite shore. Why we recommend itLa Selva Ecolodge sits in a privileged location between the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, the Yasuní National Park, and the Pañacocha Protected Forest, in an area is considered one of the best in the Ecuadorian Amazon for bird-watching and wildlife. The lodge is very close to the Napo Clay Lick, where flocks of parrots and parakeets descend in a colorful spectacle each day to eat the mineral-rich clay. The lodge's suites offer beautiful views of Lake Garzacocha, one of the biggest natural lagoons in the Ecuadorian Amazon, which is often visited by troops of different kinds of primates and offers great wildlife observation opportunities right from your suite's balcony.

Black ink pen drawing on paper. My process is quite simple: I choose and photograph the subject, draw the outlines in pencil and then meticulously reproduce it with thin technical black ink pens on rough grain paper, laying layers of ink in a repeating pattern of little circles. The result is a refined artwork with a strong individuality, both hyperrealistic and vibrant in a unique way. Technique: technical black ink pens, 0.1 to 0.8 mm on paper. Paper: Extra white, 100% cotton, cold pressed, weight 640 gsm.

Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML

Today, while my hometown mayor becomes a world-famous crackhead and douche-bag, here in the UK it has come to this: when people hear my accent and ask me if I'm American, it's less embarrassing just to say, "Yeah", rather than admit I'm Canadian. FML

Today, I was accused of stealing when I dropped a $20 bill in front of my boss. His logic: I'm too poor to have a $20 bill and there's no way it was a tip, since our customers are "so stingy". It was a tip and it was going to get me through the rest of the month. He won't give it back. FML

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThe Spirorbidae, with their tightly coiled white tubes of calcium carbonate, are unmistakable. Janua pagenstecheri is one of the smaller spirorbids and is found on a variety of hard substrata and algae on rocky shores. The calcareous tube is coiled with the opening facing anti-clockwise (dextral), the coil having a diameter of up to 2 mm. Tube with three longitudinal ridges which may be lost by scour in larger individuals. There are two colour morphs of the adult. Bright orange adults occur in shallow water while pale coloured adults occur in deeper water. When the branchial crown of tentacles is everted, the brood chamber is obvious.

Some eggheads, including Michael Rubenstein, Alejandro Cornejo, and Professor Radhika Nagpal of Harvard's Self-Organizing Systems Research Group, have released this video illustrating the capabilities of a swarm of Kilobots. The tiny robots, about the size of a penny, cost about $14 each. They are given commands to form two-dimensional shapes and are able to do so on their own, with no human interaction. After the command is given, four robots start off the process. Then the others follow, using infrared sensors to dictate their x- and y-coordinates in the shape.
These 2D creations are fine and dandy and make for a decent parlor trick, but the hope is for the robots to next combine in three dimensions. What's the deal, scientists? Are none of these nerds familiar with The Matrix or the Borg race from Star Trek? Robots coming together ever ends well for us humans. Thank God we have Neo on our side.
