The game requires Liberty Bells to make Founding Fathers in the Congress and improve Colony Production efficiency. You can put an Elder Statesman (x2) or Free Colonist in the Town Hall to make Liberty Bells. A Printing Press when built generates +50% Liberty Bells, and a Newspaper makes it up to +100%. Check:

I have played now and then since 1994 but never known how my high score compares to others.
So today I browsed on-line and saw your homepage and realised it�s not only me that is putting all these hours into a 20 year old game.
There are plenty of them!
Todays end was defenitly not my best but a good average I took 2 print screen but did not close the game.
Do you also want my save file? Which one? I send all 3 files recently changed.
I am from Sweden and my english hasn't been used much since the last 20 years when I played colonize instead of going to school. ;-)
Thank you and regards     [Spellchecked]

For some reason Microprose never made Colonization II [Civilization IV: Colonization has come out!]. Probably because it was not as popular as Civ. and because they didn't know what to do about the glaring absence of slaves. They're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't. If they put them in they're racist's. If they didn�t 90% of fans spew saying it isn't historically accurate. In England at least trade ships sailed from Europe (with trade goods) to Africa (for Slaves) to America (for Tobacco etc...). There is no Africa docks screen. At one point 50% of the population of the English Colonies were Slaves. There is very little scope for adding new features too. Sid had very little input into the game, and it was rushed out, an extra months work and play testing might have improved it greatly. |

I am named David Magnus Ledgard for the Patron Saints and Wales, and Scandinavia (including the Shetland, and Orkney Isles) respectively. My Father worked as a Methodist Minister in Shetland around 1970. He is from Yorkshire. My Mother was brought up in Yorkshire but is half Welsh, and half London. And we have an Irishman in the family who came to Yorkshire during the Potato Famine from the County of Leitrim, in Southern Ireland. The name Ledgard is of Norman French origin, Anglicized during one of our numerous Wars with France ending with the Napoleonic Wars. It means 'Keeper of the Keep' - their Job was to raise and lower the Drawbridge and Portcullis which protected the entrance to the Castle. A Portcullis is on the 1 Pence Coin. William I (the Conquer - as Duke of Normandy) was the First King in the British Royal Family. In 1066 at the Battle of Hastings (in East Sussex) he beat the Anglo-Saxon King Harold II. Who had just repelled the Viking King Harold Harade at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Fulford near York; and force marched his men to Southern England. King William was Crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. And the Normans soon built a network of Motte and Bailey Wooden Castles up and down the Country. Founding Newport SE Wales, and Newcastle as frontier Towns. The Tower of London in East London on the Thames was built as a Royal Castle for the King and his entourage. Later Castles were rebuilt in Stone, as were new Cathedrals and Monasteries. I had a friend called Sleigh (a Norman Foot Soldier) who worked as a High Level Computer Programmer for battery monitoring equipment which a two PIC Microcontrollers on each battery. One read the battery Ampage, the other Rx and Tx signals down a fibre optic loop to a Psion Computer that reported if the battery was faulty. He likes going the caf� and is from East London, and a bit of a Geezer. He says there aren't any houses for local people to move in to to start a family in London. My Brother Jonathan looks a lot like the TV personality Frasier, and seems to have 1/3 Norman Blood which makes his strong and confident, while being decent and compassionate, re-emerging from a Ancestor way back when buried in the DNA.

There are 7 levels of programmers:
I myself am a Middle-High Level Programmer, when I can be bothered to push myself. The industry standard in Object-Orientated C++, but Quick BASIC (without line numbers) is considered somewhat better, and much more elegant.
There are also two other important jobs:
What are WizKids???
You may have noticed there have been a lot of Intel Microprocessor types coming out lately. Here is a list of some of the IBM Clone PC (Personnel Computer) Chipsets by Intel:
Currently there are 10 Million Computers with a Base Unit, Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor of type Pentium IV, and Core Multi-processors in Warehouses in the East, and the United States of America. As Computers use a lot of Rare Metals it seems a waste that they aren't used, or sold at a knock down price. There have been endless Laptops made which have very little Software on them. Just film websites, and office programmes. There seems to be a desperate shortage of Software, and 2D and Strategy Computer Games. FEW NEW COMPUTERS are being sold because people might forget their passwords stored in "cookies", and they have to copy all files across - either by going to the Computer Shop, or using the Read/Write CD-ROM (Compact Disk ROM). Remember you can order a Proper Computer with Big Screen and Keyboard from DELL off the internet with a Base Unit. Don't Forget to Buy a Manual from amazon.co.uk for example in e.g. BASIC Programming. The well known and liked Micro-Computers the Commodore 64, and BBC Micro where 8-bit (1-byte) Computers. This meant they could have Colour 0-255. 16-bit (2-byte, or Word) Computers like the very popular Commodore Amiga could have richer Colour 0-65536. 32-bit (4-byte, or Longword) Windows PC Computers could have xxRRGGBB ($00-$FF) Red-Green-Blue Colour. Which can make Red (xxFF0000) for example or any mix of Colours. The Nintendo 64 has 64-bit (8-byte, or Octbyte) i.e.. 4 x 16 lines on it's custom built chip. No 128-bit Computer ever seems to have been made as it is 'inconceivable and 'near infinitely complex'. Networks of Transputer Computer Chips can be connected together to make a super-computer with Parallel Processing. Used to make Computer Graphics and Films like 'toystory'. The Microprocessor I learned consisted of a ALU (Arithmetic and Logic Unit), RAM (Read Only Memory), and Control Unit (which processed Op-codes, the Accumulator, and the Status Register). The BASIC programme itself could be stored in ROM (Read Only Memory), now most of it is on the Hard Disk Drive. The 3.5" floppy disk has fallen out of use, as did the 5.25" drive before it. Example Op-codes (also known as Mnemonics by some people - written perfectly by some very clever and thoughtful Computer Scientists) include:
Variables are required to Run a Computer Programme:
There is also a Status Register with Flags like Division by Zero Error (if this happens the computer crashes); Carry (if two 8-bit numbers are added they might go one to make a 9-bit number - this is stored in the Carry Bit); Branch (Equal, or NOT Equal - for the IF/THEN/ELSE Statement). A letter can be stored as an 8-bit Number (0-255) in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange): 0-31 are control codes like 7 for the BELL sound, or 13 for Carriage Return; 32 is Space; 48-57 is 0-9; 65-89 is A-Z; 97-116 is a-z (+32, or twiddle bit 6 to TRUE). C is good at bit twiddling. As an interesting point of Mathematics and Physics it is said that 1/0 (one divided by 0) has no meaning or is infinite!!!!! ROM's (Read Only Memory):
The BASIC Programming Language [Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Language] was designed by Dartmouth Naval College New England. What Happened to the Old COMPUTER MANUAL? It used to tell you how to do all types of things on a Computer. The Electronic One is hardly ever Read. It was the Computer Programmers BIBLE. For BASIC, Pascal, Windows 95...
There are two famous BASIC programmes for Beginners, or Quick BASIC if you use labels and not line numbers, it compiles as it runs i.e. a run-time language: Ready. RUN 10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD." 20 GOTO 10 10 FOR I = 1 TO 10 20 PRINT I 30 NEXT I 10 PRINT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" 20 INPUT A$ 30 PRINT "HELLO ", A$, " WOULD YOU LIKE A NICE GAME OF TIC-TAC-TOE?" 40 INPUT B$ 50 IF B$ = "N" THEN GOTO 10 10 LET A$="A" 20 LET B$="M" IF A$ > B$ THEN PRINT "WRONG" ELSE PRINT "CORRECT" 5 REM ROMAN TO DECIMAL PROGRAMME 10 A$="MMXII" 20 L=LEN(A$) 30 X$=LEFT$(A$,2) 35 X=LEN(X$) 40 Y$=MID$(A$,X,X+1) 45 Y=LEN(Y$) 50 Z=L-(X+Y) 60 Z$=RIGHT$(A$,Z) 70 PRINT "STRING = ", X$, " + ", Y$, "+", Z$ Or if you are more Adventurous, try writing a Text Adventure Game for a BOOK: Tim Hartnell - Master Gamesman (For Most Popular Home Computers That Use Basic). "Creating Adventure Games On You Computer". I won this book in a COMP98 Interactive Fiction On-Line Completion for 'space_st.z5'. | ||

Aside: Christopher Columbus, Genoese Explorer, discovered some of the Islands in the West Indies in 1492. So named because he thought he had gone all the way around the World to some outlying Islands off India, not realising there was a Continent in between. Financed by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain (Aragon and Castile). He died in 1506 in Valladolid, Spain - never seeing the American Continental mainland. |

About Webmaster
interesting books about Science Fiction, Adventure, and History. With exciting book covers. Before Microcomputers (early 1980's) there was Science Fiction. The stories exercise the mind, and explore possible alternative Universes.
I have lived in a converted Tenement Building for quite a few years, with 12 other Residents. It is for people with Middle Level Mental Health Problems. In Portsmouth, which is a bit like the Old Eastend used to be as it is on a built up Island.
Many Colonists fled to the American Colonies seeking Religious, or Economic Freedom e.g. the Puritans in New England, the Quakers in Pennsylvania, and the English Catholics of Maryland. Some of them Sailed from Portsmouth. 'Indentured Servants' were given passage on a Ship in return for 7 Years Indentured Labour. A lot of German Blood came in to open up new Territories e.g. the Waltons, and has now breed into part German blood.
German Expert Silver Miners for example were sent for, as they knew how to Mine Silver. The 'Holy Roman Empire' (a lose collection of German Speaking States, and Principalities) having a little Silver at that time. It is now all mined out.
Also some of my Great Grandfathers relatives emigrated to near Chicago as Master Weavers. Having learned their trade in Yorkshire.

The Newsletter was printed in several Colours, different for each year. |
The Core - How the Earth Makes and Recycles Goods and Resources |
As you probably know the earth is mined for products like Coal, Iron, Steel (3 times stronger than Iron), Oil, Plastic etc... The New Goods arrive from the Mine or Oil Well and are manufactured into finished products which are sold. When they have been used up as Food or Drink Packaging; Old Automobiles, Fridges, Freezers, washing Machines etc... they then go back to a 'store'. Some of them come out again as new product components, like parts for new Computers, and other Information Technology / Consumer Electronic equipment. The are currently 190 'Procurement Facilities' , or P.F.'s in the World. Old items are collected by a Van, and new items arrive as a Coal Train, Transport Ship, or a different van. There clearly can't be an infinite amount of anything to mine, and Rubbish Dumps that never get full to over flowing. So the old Rubbish must come around again as new Bits. One P.F. can also make heat for warmth for geographical regions it is near like New York City, or London. These Cities seem to have enough power for Housing, Industry, Street Lighting, and Mass Transit Systems. There seems to be a lot of Electricity in the World. The Earth's Mantle makes Heat which generates Photons. These can be captured to amplify Electricity. The Core can make lots of Electricity especially for the 10,000's of Towers that are being built in the World and China, and less so in India. Which all require Light, Televisons and Internet Connections. There always seem to be enough Aluminium Cans in the Shop. So they must be collected from the bins, and remade. Synthesizers make Oil from Carbon in the Earth's Atmosphere, and 10% from the Earth. The first one appeared in 1920, and a lot came along during and a bit after WWII. They are the rooted types made by God. Most people can't see them because they are on a alternate Earth. New computerised ones are appearing as half the old Rooted ones are dying. The new ones require an operator to work them to find the best Carbon locations. The Oil is made in countries that don't have enough Oil. The Oil from the Gulf is transported half way around the World which you'd think would require ALL the Oil in the tanks in the ship to get there. So their must be an additional power source to drive the ship. It is believed two Black Holes can link together because they have a Singularity at their centre, and pass information but not matter. There may be many micro-Black Holes in the Universe, even close to Earth. Two Black Holes linked together are called a Wormhole. Reference: 'The Visual Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction' [1977]. Science says the Universe was created by a Singularity. It seeded 10 further Singularities, that can make things. The Earth, the Stars, and the Planets were then created. A Quantum Singularity is "like a black hole, only portable, and with a cooler name." In the scientific sense they are massive, localized distortions of space and time. They are incredibly complex can Warp Space. They are virtually invisible to anyone who isn't linked to one. There may be 1000's of them that work in groups of 2, 10, 20, or more. |

Oh, this is the place where the fishermen gather, In oilskins and boots and Cape Anns battened down. All sizes of figures with squid lines and jiggers, They congregate here on the squid-jigging ground.
Some are working their jiggers while others are yarning. There's some standing up and there's more lying down. While all kinds of fun, jokes and tricks are begun, As they wait for the squid on the squid-jigging ground.
There's men of all ages and boys in the bargain, There's old Billy Cave and there's young Raymond Brown. There's a red ranting Tory out here in a dory, A-running down Squires on the squid jigging ground.
There's men from the Harbour, there's men from the Tickle, In all kinds of motorboats, green, grey and brown. Right yonder there's Bobby and with him is Noddy, He's chawing hard tack on the squid-jigging ground.
Oh, God bless my sou'wester, there's Skipper John Chaffey. He's the best hand at squid jigging here, I'll be bound. Hello, what's the row? Why he's jigging one now. It's the very first squid on the squid-jigging ground.
Now, the man with the whiskers is old Jacob Steele. He's getting well up but he's still pretty sound. While Uncle Bob Hawkins wears six pair o' stockings, Whenever he's out on the squid jigging ground. Holy smoke! What a scuffle, all hands are excited. 'Tis a wonder to me that there's nobody drowned. There's confusion, a bustle, a wonderful hustle. They're all jigging squids on the squid jigging ground.
Says Bobby, "The squids are on top of the water. I just got my jiggers 'bout one fathom down. But a squid in the boat squirted right down his throat, And he's swearing like mad on the squid-jigging ground.
There's poor Uncle Billy, his whiskers are spattered, With spots of the squid juice that's flying around. One poor little b'y got it right in the eye, But they don't give a damn on the squid jigging ground.
Now if ever you feel inclined to go squidding, Leave your white shirts and collars behind in the town, And if you get cranky without your silk hanky, You'd better steer clear of the squid-jigging ground.

The Apple iPhone is one of many hand-held cellphones on the market today that boasts Internet capabilities and photo taking capabilities, however that doesn't mean it's a perfect device. The ringtone that comes with the iPhone may be too low for some, which can lead to missed phone calls. Luckily, there are ways to increase the volume of the iPhone ringtone so that you never miss a call again.
Other People Are Reading
Pump Up Volume
One of the easiest ways to increase the ringer volume on your iPhone is to do it manually. Simply locate the volume button, which is located on the top left side of the actual device. Press the volume button until you notice a volume control meter on your display screen. The more you press the volume button, the more the meter will fill up, indicating that the ringtone is increasing in volume. Once you have found the right ringtone level, slide the ring/silent switch to ring. This switch is located directly above the volume button. If you wish to turn the ringer off, turn the phone to silent using the same switch.
New Ringtone
Even at full volume, you may feel as if your iPhone ringer is just not loud enough. If this is the case, try using a custom ringtone as compared with the ringtone that comes standard with the iPhone. Using the Garage Band application, locate the "Cell Phone Ringing" audio track. If you are using a Mac computer, use the iFuntastic application to install the ringtone onto your iPhone. If you are using Windows PC, use the iBrickr or iPhoneRingtoneMaker application to install the new ringtone. The "Cell Phone Ringing" track is naturally louder than any ringtone that comes with the iPhone.
The Cause
Since the iPhone is designed to be a handheld communication device -- as well as a handheld computer, camera and media player -- the speakers are small. Although smaller speakers can lead to low volume, the iPhone speakers are not the root cause of the problem. Rather, it's the audio frequency of the ringtones that come with the iPhone. When searching for a new ringtone on Garage Band -- or through another application -- make sure it has a high frequency level to ensure a loud ringtone.
The purpose of a louder ringtone on your iPhone is -- in short -- to ensure that you never miss an important call. Many elements can lead to not hearing a low ringtone, including noisy environments or simply being hard of hearing. Although a louder ringtone can help solve these issues, they may not be full proof. If you are expecting an important call, check your iPhone frequently. If you are trying to reach someone who has a low ringtone on the iPhone, try sending a text message as well to make sure you get through to the person.

Wes Gullett, Phoenix Mayor Wanna-Be, Hanging Out With BFF Councilman Tom Simplot and Ex Boss, Senator John McCain
A Democrat, Phoenix mayor wanna-be and Republican walk into a campaign fundraiser ...
Councilman Tom Simplot (left), Phoenix lobbyist Wes Gullett and Arizona Senator John McCain.
Now here's a trio of politicos you wouldn't expect to see hanging out together. But political campaigns make for strange bedfellows.
Standing on the left is Phoenix Councilman Tom Simplot, an openly gay elected official, a longtime Republican who switched to the Democratic party in 2007, and campaign chairman for mayoral candidate Wes Gullett.
Gullett is standing in the center, next to Arizona's conservative Senator John McCain, who essentially said that allowing gay individuals to openly serve in the military would lead to the deaths of Marines.

Simplot told the Arizona Republic in 2007 that he left the Republican party for various reasons but was "particularly bothered by the Republican Party's opposition to civil rights for gays and lesbians."
As a Democrat, he told the Republic, he would be able to "sleep at night."
What might he be saying, standing there next to McCain, a Republican with very conservative social views?
In December, during a discussion on the Senate floor about the repeal of the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, McCain compared the repeal to a distraction and said "distractions cost Marines their lives."
Simplot said he doesn't "understand Senator McCain's position on gay rights."
"He has had an openly gay staffer for about as long as he's been in office," Simplot tells New Times. "It was very upsetting when he ran for president and didn't stay true to his core values."
Simplot explains that he and Gullett practically are brothers and that he was at the fundraiser to introduce Gullett, who worked for McCain in Washington, D.C. and worked on his 2000 presidential bid.
"Do I agree with Senator McCain on all his positions? No. But I can still respect him and his office," Simplot says.
While McCain and Simplot may not see eye to eye, Simplot says that Gullett passed his litmus test on gay rights.
"When it comes to GLBT issues, Wes definitely met my criteria, and he will have an inclusive administration," says Simplot. "He supports domestic partnerships and civil unions."

Some games use TCP and some use UDP for their RCON implementation. To tell node-rcon which protocol to use, pass it an options object like so:
var options = tcp: false // false for UDP, true for TCP (default true) challenge: false // true to use the challenge protocol (default true) ;client = host port password options;
Here's a non-exhaustive list of which games use which options:
Game | Protocol | Challenge |
Any Source game | TCP | N/A |
Minecraft | TCP | N/A |
Any GoldSrc game | UDP | Yes |
Call of Duty | UDP | No |
Source games include CS:S, CS:GO, TF2, etc. GoldSrc games include CS 1.6, TFC, Ricochet (lol), etc.
If there's a game you know uses a certain protocol, feel free to submit a pull request.
Please submit a bug report for any game you try that doesn't work!

The Surprise, Five Open Books 5.10a |
Yosemite Valley, California USA | ||
Avg time to climb route: 2-3 hours
Approach time: 20 minutes Descent time: 20-30 minutes Number of pitches: 4 Height of route: 350' Overview
This is a dirty 5.8, a good 5.10a, or an awesome 5.10c depending on which pitches you start or finish on. We consider the 5.10a variation the standard route because the 5.8 original route is much less classic and more runout. Unlike most Five Open Books routes that ascend big corners, The Surprise mostly climbs splitter cracks on a clean face. This route is usually uncrowded. It's tricky but possible to pull through most of the crux sections on gear.

Five Open Books History
Climbers have always appreciated short approaches, so its not surprising that the area around Lower Yosemite Fall attracted attention in the 1960s. Only minutes from Camp 4 lay a wealth of possible routes on the various tiers of cliffs. One trouble: these cliffs were not exactly composed of pristine granite. Trees, bushes, munge, loose dark rockyou name it, these cliffs had it. In a valley renowned for its sparkling white granite, this place was an aberration. But lets not forget that approach! - Steve RoperFA: Wally Reed and Jim Posten, 9/63. Strategy

Wow! Fantastic show and cast. Highly talented group. If you love Into the Woods, you will love this show!
This is always a spectacular festival with 10 days of both family-friendly fun and adult focused events. I found the entire calendar of activities at: http://www.waterburywinterfest.com/
The Button Thief is an amazing book, and Fay Webern is a riveting reader -- you can see some of her other readings on her website at faywebern.com.
I know I'll be there!
The first day of league on Sunday was a great time. Very low key atmosphere, which really helped people feel welcome and comfortable. There was a lot of fun positive banter between regulars and new comers alike. Brap's is definitely an A+ place to game.
I love these events! Free and no need to pre-register. Just show up and try some homebrew, and learn what 'owning your beer' can look like! More info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/3028781567…
Auction lovers - take note. There is an auction at the festival each year, and it's a blast! There are many items up for bid this year, like a plush armchair from Mattress and Sofa Warehouse ($359 value), glider ride from Stowe Soaring, scenic plane ride for 3 from Lakeview Aviation, passes to Story Land, Jay Peak Pump House passes, and much more!
The Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society has the best Rhubarb Festival in all of Addison County! Delicious homemade rhubarb, strawberry-rhubarb and apple-rhubarb pies, muffins, and preserves are for sale. Lunch includes both a vegetarian and poultry main dish, fresh fruit and greens salad, and homemade rhubarb desserts. There's also sell hearty plants, books, jewelry and scarves at bargain prices. There's free music and children's games and face painting!
Alive & Dead Fest is bringing great tribute bands and new talent to play the songs that we all love. These bands represent many different styles and will be playing their favorite "Dead" tunes and their own material. Come and join the family for 3 days of Grateful bliss. Camp with us and enjoy the beauty of Prospect Mountain in Woodford, Vermont. Its just 15 minutes from Bennington, 1.25 hours from Albany, 1.5 hours from North Hampton, 2.75 hours from Boston and 3.5 hours from NYC. While enjoying a relaxing weekend at our mountain paradise, listen to lots of great bands, playing on 2 stages and try our various food vendors on site.
Wonderful unique perspectives mixing family photos and every day objects with verve and vigor. A must see!!!
I LOVED this beautiful show of Roger Weingarten's digital art and a few very entertaining sculptures. The first wonderful thing that blew me away was the saturated jewel-toned color to be found throughout the framed art. Then, as I looked more closely and carefully, I found that amazing images seemed to keep popping out and surprising me in almost every piece. The show seemed to have been hung in such a way as to provide a "flow" from one piece to the next with the variety of mood and subject making the viewer want to find out "what's next".
Judy Dales of the Exhibition Committee offered the following comment:
"This exhibit presents an exciting sampler of the work being done by fiber artists today: baskets with unusual surface treatments; knitted sculpture, both thought provoking and whimsical; quilted works ranging from complex subtle designs to bold, graphic work; woven wearables to wall weavings; hand painted and dyed fiber pieces; and imaginative assemblages made from both fiber and natural objects. The items in this exhibit cross boundaries, sometimes obviously fiber work, other times mixed media, thus truly representing the broad range of surface design today."
Exhibit dates will be June 1 - 28, 2016
How timely this event is! Recent public protest from the majority of NH residents have spoken loudly against the proposed bobcat trapping/hunting and recently the publicized concern from residents of Shoreham, VT with coyote killings. What a marvelous opportunity for the Vermont and New Hampshire /Dartmouth community to have a chance to learn not only how essential predators and wildlife are to the ecosystem but also to gain awareness how we as citizens can do more as animal stewards, learn about sustainable and non-lethal methods ,and how to become advocates against animal and wildlife cruelty or the barbaric-savagery of trapping. Looking forward to an incredible panel of presenters and the feature film; Medicine of the Wolf and meeting the Protect Our Wildlife representatives.
A great conversation about a great topic.
Don't miss this fun community event! The swap is noon-3pm with workshops on Garden Planning with Lisa Coven at 1pm and Seed Starting For Less with Ron Krupp at 2:30pm.
A few tips:
WHAT TO BRING: Your own saved seeds, extra purchased seeds, seeds brought back from another region or country. Please label with variety and date harvested. (No GMO seeds please.) If you don't have seeds to share, consider bringing another garden-related item to swap (a garden book, extra tools, garden preserves, a snack). Donations are also welcome for the Community Teaching Garden scholarship fund.
HOW IT WORKS: All the seeds will be sorted into categories on tables. Participants add their seeds and select the seeds they want, putting them into provided envelopes. There will be a separate area for saved and special seeds (heirlooms, small quantities, unusual varieties, etc.) so that participants can talk to each other about the seed origins. There will also be extra seeds donated by High Mowing Seeds and Gardener's Supply, so everyone will have seeds to bring home.
1pm: GARDEN PLANNING FOR COMPANION AND SUCCESSION PLANTING with Lisa Coven - This fun and interactive seminar will explore the different reasons for companion planting and how to plan for succession planting so you can harvest short-growing crops all seasons long. Participants are encouraged to bring a list of plants they would like to grow this season. At the end of the session, each gardener will leave with a map to help them plan and manager their garden.
2:30pm: SEED STARTING FOR LESS with Ron Krupp - This hands-on workshop will include a discussion on germination mixes, potting soils, seed starting dates, grow lights vs. sun light, containers, the use of cold-frames, greenhouses and more. Please bring your garden questions.
Awesome band! Takes you back in time to a wonderful funky era of music!!!! A must see band!
This is going to be a fantastic Pop Up Shop 12-5 this Saturday!! 10+ local artists and makers will be selling all kinds of goods that would make perfect holiday gifts for any and all! Event is located on the second floor of the Conant Metal & Light building above Vintage Inspired Lifestyle Marketplace at 270 Pine Street in Burlington!

Friday night's Writing Salon was a welcome relief from the inner critic rather than the joyous expression of writing I usually experience during these group meetings. This was rather apropos considering Ms. Parent started that night's session with a discussion of how the inner critic stops us from writing to our full potential. Talking about my adversarial writing partner, the one that finds my fantasy writing superfluous, my creative non-fiction lackluster, and my short stories boorish, feels rather akin to pulling a sleeping lion's tail, but I did it anyways. In fact, the experience was refreshing, like acknowledging the elephant in the room.
After the small debriefing, my fellow writers and I were given the prompt of saying what we know we cannot say. Like every prompt, it's meant to be taken however the listener desires. With Ms. Parent's advice on how to deal with the inner critic and the freeing nature of the prompt, I produced a full-bodied story of things I could actually say to someone. Maybe it didn't follow the stated intent of the prompt, but if fulfilled the underlying purpose of silencing my inner critic and inhibitions.
Of course my peers wrote witty and hilarious works about the things they want to say to someone. As always, it was a pleasure to share my writing with others and to give and receive supportive feedback. It was not my easiest day writing, but just like going to gym, there are always days that are harder than others. The point is to get on with it anyways. Thanks Ms. Parent for another successful writing session.

Gettysburg re-imagined:The role of narrative imagination in consumption experience

We investigate the role of imagination in the consumption experience and we theorize the ways in which important collective narratives are (re)imagined at storyscapes - consumption spaces where narratives are the focal object of consumption. We ground our empirical investigation in the historical narrative of the American Civil War and we explore ethnographically the ways in which this historical episode is (re)imagined and articulated in tourism at Gettysburg. Our research provides an alternative account to mental imagery theory that is based on restrictive cognitive conceptions of imagination and expands narrative-based theories of consumption experiences. We argue that the workings of imagination in tourism sites are inextricably linked to the production of cultural imaginaries, that is, socially important narratives invested with collective values; we illustrate the process through which cultural imaginaries are co-constructed at storyscapes; we develop theoretically the concept of consumer imagination; and we make a case for consumer imagination as a social process.

Why Is Housing Finance Still Stuck in Such a Primitive Stage?
The institutions for financing owner-occupied housing have not progressed as they should, and the financial innovation that has followed the financial crisis of 2007-9 has not been focused on improving the risk management of individual homeowners. This paper lists a number of barriers to housing finance innovation, and in light of these barriers, the problems of some major innovations of the past and future: self-amortizing mortgages, price-level adjusted mortgages (PLAMs), shared appreciation mortgages (SAMs), housing partnerships, and continuous workout mortgages (CWMs).

Chess Pieces
All styles and tastes
Our range of chess pieces is extensive and caters for all styles and tastes. The Regency Chess Company stocks only the finest wooden chess pieces, indeed our selection of luxury Staunton chess pieces has grown to one of the largest collections in Europe and features the worlds' finest wooden chess pieces. Our chess pieces are made and imported from a variety of different countries including Italy, Poland, India and England. All suppliers are scrutinized carefully for quality and ethics so that only the finest chessmen are added to our range.
Traditional Staunton
While we stock a vast range of chess pieces our most popular style is the classic Staunton chessmen. In fact of all the pieces we have for sale Staunton represents the lions share of our stock. It is without doubt the archetypal set of chessmen and the one universally recognized as the standard and the norm. The Staunton design came about in the mid 1800s when Howard Staunton, a leading chess player at the time, had become frustrated with the vast difference in chess pieces at competitions. He was frustrated when playing against people who insisted on using weird sets where the pieces were not instantly recognized.
A little history
Staunton didn't design the Staunton chessmen, he loved the design and put his name to each set. He promoted it heavily in his published writings on chess and because of him the set became a huge hit worldwide. As a set of chessmen it ticked all the right boxes. It was easy to manufacture, looked very elegant, it was ergonomic and practical and perfect to play a game of chess with. They are without doubt the ultimate chess pieces and have been adopted by all the words chess organizations as the standard competition chessmen.
Intricately carved
Despite the huge popularity for Staunton we stock a range of excellent quality themed chess pieces, some lovely Italian metal chessmen and the legendary Isle of Lewis chessmen. Our range also features some very intricately carved decorative wooden chess pieces which are hand carved from exotic Indian hardwoods.
Antiques in Ebony
Also included in our range of chess pieces is a small selection of antique reproduction chessmen. These are precise copies of antique designs including some pre-Staunton sets such as Northern Upright and St George. These sets of chess pieces have been produced to the highest possible standards from the finest Indian ebony wood and are just like the originals, only much cheaper of course.
Lewis Chess Pieces
You will notice we have a section of our website totally dedicated to the Isle Of Lewis Chess Pieces. These legendary chessmen are probably the second most popular and familiar design after Staunton. In our range of Lewis chessmen is the ever popular SAC set which retails for under eighty pounds. We also stock the amazing National Museum Scotland set which we regard as the official set. It has been created from laser scans of the original pieces and commissioned by an English manufacturer by one of the foremost authorities on the subject.

Live-blogging OWS daily since October 1. Email: email@example.com. All times ET. See my e-book on Occupy "40 Days That Shook the World." My other books, including recent ones on Bradley Manning, Upton Sinclair, and Beethoven, here….
11:15 Portrait of Atlanta family evicted at gun point after 18 years, living with 4 generations in house. "That old evil thing called greed…time to let it go."
10:15 Robert Reich on Democracy Now! hails Occupy, says we have to keep making a "ruckus."
8:45 Noam Chomsky with new piece at Salon: "The jobs aren't coming back." America doesn't make things anymore. Financiers just "manipulate" money and move it around and aground. "The fact that the Occupy movement is unprecedented is quite appropriate. After all, it's an unprecedented era and has been so since the 1970s, which marked a major turning point in American history…. For many people in the United States, there's a pervasive sense of hopelessness, sometimes despair. I think it's quite new in American history. And it has an objective basis."
8:40 OccupyTheFarm squatters near Berkeley (see below) set terms for exiting land–for one thing, they must retain access.
8:25 Allison Kilkenny with latest on BOA shareholders protest in Charlotte tomorrow, with city declaring it "extraordinary event," meaning "the city plans to restrict free speech and expand the ability of police and security forces to target and profile the homeowners, worker, community members, students, and immigrants who plan to demand justice from one of the largest banks in the country."
7:35 In advance of NATO summit protests in Chicago later this month, the city is replacing enclosed trash cans down town with the wire-mesh variety–the better to see what might be planted inside…. Alternet: immigrants rights marches did not get much attendance, or play, on May Day but did get support of OWS and the activists carry on.

Dictionary of Literary Biography on William Styron
The critics received Lie Down in Darkness (1951) as an auspicious first novel, perhaps the best to appear since World War II. Its style, if reminiscent of Faulkner, was distinctly the author's own; its psychological insights, accurate; and its moral vision, mature. It was, in fact, an astonishingly good novel for an author only twenty-six at the time of its publication. Styron was immediately placed in the top rank of writers of his generation; he was awarded the Prix de Rome; and his subsequent work was awaited anxiously by critics and readers alike. The wait was a long one. Between 1951 and the appearance of his second novel in 1960, Styron 's only published fiction was the novella, The Long March (1953), and an excerpted episode from his work-in-progress. When Set This House on Fire finally appeared, it was not well received, primarily because the story seemed to sprawl out of control...

Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday on his injured right thumb and is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks.
The Dodgers said Thursday that an MRI indicated that a ligament in Ramirez's thumb was torn.
Ramirez suffered the injury Tuesday night while playing for the Dominican Republic in its victory over Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic championship game in San Francisco.
He told reporters in Arizona he doesn't regret playing in the WBC.
"It's something I can't control," Ramirez said. "It could've happened anywhere. It could've happened here. It unfortunately happened in the WBC. It's very disappointing."
Ramirez was at third base when he suffered the injury. The Dodgers moved him to shortstop, his original position, after obtaining him from the Miami Marlins on July 25.

Aleister Crowley was NOT a Satanist. There is not a single thing about Karloff's character that is even remotely like Crowley.

"Readers will definitely think about the Earth in a different light after reading The Emissary," says Cori. "One of the key ideas explored is how our actions today impact the environment tomorrow. We've already seen some of this come to reality, however The Emissary explores this idea and the findings are quite unsettling."
Three events take place nearly simultaneously: People in Los Angeles witness hundreds of birds dropping from the heavens; Beaches in Maine are covered with tens of thousands of dead fish; and a New Zealand beach resort is devastated with dying whales and dolphins. In the aftermath of this chaos, a strange, grid-like pattern forms in the clouds. Readers soon learn that this is not a coincidence, but part of an evil plan to destroy all life on Earth. Enter, the emissary a leading psychic, who understands and identifies secrets in the songs of the dying whales. She then uses what she learns in her dangerous journey to avert a global disaster.
"The Emissary gives readers the thrills and action-packed adventures that we all thrive upon," says Patricia Cori. "But it also offers something more, awareness of our oceans and the changes that have come about, due to man's interference in nature."
Meet Patricia Cori. Cori is a bestselling author, screenwriter, public speaker and has been interviewed on hundreds of radio and television programs including CNN and Coast to Coast. She's credited with founding the global non-profit, Save Earth's Oceans, Inc., whose mission is dedicated to restoring the balance of the ocean's ecosystems. Cori's the former host of Beyond the Matrix (BBS Radio) and she is deemed a visionary to her fan base.

David William Gibbons, broadcaster, writer, and historian: "The Emissary may well become one of the greatest literary contributions of our times in healing the world's oceans, raising humanity's thirst for marine knowledge, and discovering its sublime secrets."
Beau Bridges, Actor: "...A uniquely exciting adventure that capture the heart and the soul of the reader."
Pen Densham, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director, producer, author, artist: "I am a giant fan of creativity that takes us out of our daily thinking. Patricia Cori has penned just such a tale. A broad fantasy adventure that speaks to those who want to think differently and challenge the daily onslaught against nature and our own future."
Ervin Laszlo, twice nominated for the Nobel prize, Founder and President of The Club of Budapest, Chancellor of the Giordano Bruno GlobalShift University, and best-selling author of 83 books and publications: "The Emissary is that rarest of books: it entertains, indeed, it fascinates, and at the same time conveys a message that we should not forget. Indeed, once we have opened this book, we never will."
Jim Marrs, New York Times Best Selling author of Psi Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program: "The Emissary' brings us government skullduggery, sexy agents, catastrophic events, high-sea adventure, singing whales and a cosmic secret what's not to like in this fast-paced page turner?"
New Consciousness Review: "Patricia Cori has done a great service to us all, and I believe the majestic creatures of the sea as well, by turning her skill, passion, and intelligence toward understanding and protecting them, and simultaneously illuminating a path for human transformation."
Elisabeth Rohm, actor, author, activist, mother: "The whales and dolphins of this planet need our help and Patricia Cori is their Emissary!"
Lawrence Bloom, Recently retired Chairman of the UN Environmental Progamme, Green Economy Initiative Council on Green Cities and the World Economic Forum at Davos Global Agenda Council on Urban Management: "It's a brilliant story it reads with the pace of a Bond novel, and it's based in reality. You may not sleep well after you read it! I could not put it down....
Donald Newsom, President, BBS Radio Network, Inc: "Phenomenal! Her extraordinary vision and the way she communicates her truth to her readers will make Patricia Cori a staple in every library."

Argentina's World Cup coach Diego Maradona was bitten on his face by one of his dogs and had surgery at a clinic, local media reported today.
Maradona, taken to Los Arcos clinic during the early hours, was not seriously hurt and was expected to return home later in the day, the broadcaster Cronica said.
Witnesses said Maradona was bleeding close to his mouth when he arrived at the clinic with his girlfriend.
Maradona, whose Argentina team are among the World Cup favourites, spent some time at the same clinic in April 2007 after suffering from toxic hepatitis caused by drink.
The World Cup in South Africa kicks off on June 11. Argentina are in Group B with Nigeria, Greece and South Korea.

Of course, I predicted that Germany's formulaic "The Lives of Others" would win the foreign language Oscar, but it still seems a little strange that this should be the thing to stop the (better, and certainly more original) "Pan's Labyrinth's" sweep.
I know "Others" has its critical champions. But let's see:
Big fat German bureaucrat abuses his power for his sexual pleasure? Check
Party loyalist without a life is humanized by exposure to art and beauty? Check
"Ve haf vays of making you talk?" Check
Seen it all before. But that makes it easy for academy voters to digest, I guess.

An analysis of the year-end fiscal negotiations and their consequences.
As the United States rapidly approached the "fiscal cliff," negotiations between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) faltered, and the Speaker's subsequent "Plan B" was rejected by his increasingly unruly caucus. As a result, the eleventh-hour negotiating fell to an unexpected duo—Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Vice President Joe Biden.
The deal brokered by McConnell and Biden was overwhelmingly approved by the Senate and permanently extends Bush-era tax cuts for taxable income up to $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, allowing tax rates to rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent on income above that threshold. It also addresses a host of other tax and policy matters, including a delay in automatic spending cuts (also known as the sequester), a capital gains tax rate increase, an increase on the estate tax, a permanent alternative minimum tax patch, the Medicare "doc fix" and extensions for unemployment benefits and farm bill provisions.
Despite reported "universal concern" from House Republicans on the deal's tax increases and the lack of serious spending cuts, Speaker Boehner ultimately chose to bring the measure to the floor for a vote without amending it—an amendment would likely have killed the bill. In the end, the 257–167 vote to approve the fiscal cliff aversion measure highlighted a significant split in the House Republican caucus (85 voted yes, 151 voted no), as evidenced by the fact that Speaker Boehner and Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) supported the bill while Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) voted against it. One can guess that at least one more Republican Senator who voted for the package will be subject to a Tea Party candidate in his or her Republican primary in 2014 or 2016.
The immediate reaction and fallout from the events of the last several weeks certainly does not paint House Republicans in a favorable light with regard to the Speaker's ability to deliver his caucus, portrays internal GOP leadership divisions as evident and does not obscure the reality that the ultimate deal was brokered without House input.
But digging a bit deeper and looking ahead can paint a different picture for the Speaker and his caucus. First and foremost is the fact that the deal negotiated between the White House and Senate Republicans did not delay or address the looming issue that the United States will soon be bumping up against its debt ceiling (again) and that the sequester was only delayed for two months. In addition, the current Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY 2013 appropriations is due to expire at the end of March.
As a result, Congress and the White House will revisit a host of fiscal matters in the coming weeks. The new scenario will give House Republicans—who currently appear to be in total disarray—significant new leverage when it comes to using the need for an increased debt ceiling to negotiate with the White House for increased spending cuts and entitlement reform. At the same time, taking these tax provisions off the table does not reduce the difficulty of achieving large-scale corporate tax reform efforts in the new Congress.

Is IAP Carolina still meeting?
Hi all, just wanted to know if the Carolina Chapter still meets at Woodzone on the 1st of every Saturday? I live in Augusta, and it sure would be alot closer for the drive to Columbia compared to by Atlanta. I have frequented Woodzone, and I would like to come by and get a little more involved in whats going on in the penturning/woodturning frenzy.
If I turn in my grave, that would be a good thing.. right?

Paris Texas?
I know this does not really look like Paris France, but I swear I did take this photo here! This windmill actually belongs to new gardens, located in the northern part of the 17th arrondissement, on former premises of the SNCF (the national train company). These new gardens are very environment friendly, hence the presence of this windmill used to drain water. If you're interested in visiting them, the access to these gardens is located by the rue Cardinet.
40 comments:
It really really does look like Texas: flat flat flat, anything higher than the ground is noticeable. Cool photo. It evokes the lonliness I remember driving across northern Texas.
(By the way, did you ever see the movie Paris Texas? Fascinating, odd film with Harry Dean Stanton and Natashia Kinski.)
49 days and counting...Suprise! Eric, you are good at finding these gems. ;) I never would place this scene as belonging in Paris. I agree, it looks like Paris, Texas. {Sigh}such a pretty blue sky there today though.
I was reading an interesting article comparing London and Paris, including the mayoral elections. Thought some here might enjoy, hope this link works:
http://www.economist.co.uk/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10849106I love the angle of the photo. It's perfect with the big sky.
When my husband was in the Marine Corps we were stationed in a place called 29 Palms, Ca. When we'd drive back home to San Diego, we'd go through Palm Springs and see this wind farm http://www.southpoint.com/states/ca/windmills.htmBonjour Eric!
Your photos are wonderful! What a great idea for a blog, I am glad it made Bloggers Blogs of note today so I could find it!
I visited Paris in 1985 as a teenager and loved every moment. We drove from Paris to Nice stopping at every vineyard along the way....my dad's idea. But still much fun and I snapped pictures by the hundreds. :)
I will be back to visit your blog!An unusual photo for Paris, with great atmosphere. Exploring PDP is making a very interesting daily trip to Paris.
Thanks to all the visitors to my paintings&photos blog:
Pietro Brosio GalleryHa! There really is a Paris, Texas, too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBut do you have "tumbleweeds" in your garden in Paris, France??
Have you ever been to Texas, Eric?? It is an experience unlike any other! I went to school in Dallas for two years and I always refer to it as the "two years I spent in prison"...LOL!!
Well, for somebody who has lived near the ocean all their life..it wasn't easy!! Gotta love that "Jalapeno Cornbread" though!! LOL!!This is my first visit to your blog, and I'm going to bookmark it.
I've been to Paris twice (once alone, once with my husband), and was enchanted. To be honest, I actually managed to get around using my meager Spanish skills! I couldn't find anyone on the street who spoke English, but a kind old grandfather-figure took me under his wing and spoke Spanish with me until he learned what I wanted, then he found someone for me that spoke English. We must have walked two blocks, going in random shops and talking to random people before we found a woman who spoke English. A fantastic experience.
Anyway, this is a long comment, but I wanted to say hello, so...bonjour! My French skills are much worse than my Spanish, but I can greet you and ask, comment etes-vous? :o)
Merci beaucoup pour les photos, Eric.Yes Buzzgirl, Paris is full of surprises, isn't?!
Lucio? Drought eh? That is tough.
Jeff, yes I did see Paris, Texas, a long time ago. I don't remember it too much to be honest. I see you're counting the days ;)
Petrea? AL-WAYS!
Coltrane, actually I was the first one surprised for I did not know this was there ;)
Jennifer "was reading an interesting article comparing London and Paris" ouch! LOL
Suzy LOL, nope, it's not THE tower ;)
Mari. It was taken in northern Paris but not close to moulins
Lynn. No, these gardens are too recent for a picnic; not enough grass! - nor for frolicking BTW ;)
Eh he Louis...
Yes Guille 100% Paris. I know it's odd.
Tanya. I love wind farms. thank you.
Wandering soul. Please let me know when you do I'll link to it.
Stephen. I saw your paintings, they're great. Do pay Stephen's blog a visit everyone http://myartspage.blogspot.com/
Phil. Hum, never have been to Australia. I wish I would though. Especially if they have windmills there!
Thanks Steve
Thanks Sherry
Thanks Pietro ;)
Larry. Not far from your home hey? You could have been be a friendly Parisian too ;)
Merci Télia
Waldo. Paris, Versailles... You stole all our city names!
Thanks Lone beader. I really would like to visit this town one day!
Tonton, all I know in Texas is Houston mostly - and a bit of San Antonio and surroundings. I don't know why , but I cannot picture you being happy down there!
Becky. I'm surprised you found more people speaking Spanish that English?! Anyway, Benvenida!
No Tomate, it's not! Far from it.
Noa. LOL. Could not find an old dilapidated barn there...Now this is a funny observation...for me, this photo is unbelievable for Paris and PDP and it only has 32 comments. Whereas some of the photos, although ALWAYS fantastic *wink*, may have up to 150 comments!
Come on guys, a freakin' windmill in the centre of Paris? It just isn't normal! LOL
Great find Eric and beautiful shot.
Now where is Toto again?- phx-cdg stuck in NYCMarch 19, 2008 at 10:34:00 PM GMT+1
thanks for the unexpected view of Paris...if it fools Guille, than this should be turned into a postcard of Paris and sold on Rue de Rivoli.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 22, 2008 at 6:40:00 AM GMT+1
Amazing this is part of Paris. Reminds me of western Kansas (yes, where is Toto when you need him??)
Great photo. Could see it as an opening shot of a movie...

Several big name Altanta rappers and producers are being accused of not paying their studio dues. In an investigation conducted by CBS Atlanta, a few vendors came forward to detail the outstanding invoices from rapper Young Jeezy and producers Jazze Pha and Polow Da Don. CBS Atlanta says that this is becoming a big problem in the Atlanta music industry.
"It's a lot of hard work, I'll be up for three days straight and I won't get paid for it. It's insane," Tony Terrebonne told CBS. Terrebonne is an engineer who says that Polow Da Don owes him $20,000 in unpaid studio costs. Some of the songs that Terrebonne says he worked on include Usher's "Love in This Club" and Chris Brown's "Forever."
In a statement released to CBS, Polow's company, Zone 4, responded. "Polow always handles all of his business vendors with the utmost respect and timely payment, but this situation is a unique private dispute and as such Polow will not dignify any celebrity smear campaign by comment."
Another studio engineer, Josh Butler, said that Young Jeezy owed more than $20,000. But after CBS reached out to Jeezy's team, the bill was paid. Also, Jim Zumpano, owner of Zac Recording, said Jazze Pha owes him over $135,000. The music stars "are out partying on my money. I'm looking for that money to help me run my business," Zumpano said after only being partially paid for his services.

My First Blogmeets
It's been a week of blogmeets. I read about it on knitting blogs all the time, but have never experienced the phenomenon myself.
It all started last Wednesday, when I met up with Emma before her big move to Owen Sound. The lovely woman had offered to cut Mojo's nails for me – or, as she's often called during nail cutting events, "The Demon Cat From Hell". Mojo has strong opinions about being told what to do. As do I, which may explain why I've always understood her panic at being restrained and having bits of herself cut off. Surprisingly, it went off without a hitch. Minimum trauma to the cat and no damage at all to Emma. After that, we chatted for a while and what I remember most is the laughing. There was a lot of it. Why the woman has to move is beyond me.
This weekend was the inaugural TUFT. Although I am no longer a knitter, I do have a somewhat embarrassing tendency to fondle yarn (and occasionally making small satisfied cooing noises while doing so), so naturally, meeting up with Stephanie and Juno was a must. We met at St. Lawrence Market at 1:15pm. Well, I should say that we were supposed to meet at St. Lawrence Market at 1:15pm, but as the minutes ticked by and my toes increasingly showed signs of freezing solid and falling off with little festive clinking sounds, it became apparent that there was some sort of hiccup. I managed to entertain myself.
First, I ran into my friend, the Birthday Goddess
Then chatted with a neighbour and got roped into watching Sky's stall while he went to buy lunch. Didn't manage to sell anything - a career in sales is clearly not for me). And I didn't insist on being rewarded for it, which I think was really polite of me, as he sells the most gorgeous silk and cashmere scarves from India.
The weary TUFTies finally arrived and we hurried off to warmer locales for pubgrub. Solely for the warmth it provides. Really. Had nothing to do with the beer, which has been pushed out of this picture so we could all pretend it was a non-alcoholic event. Note the fabulous handknit shawls.
The verdict? I like this blogmeet thing.
