Murayana is a mokuy [ghost] who came from the east and is associated with the forest near Yathalamarra. Murayana is a trickster spirit who roams the forest, often turning the country around so people get lost.
Murayana's body is decorated with the plants of the open forest — the long leaves of the white flowering wäri tree, the yamany with its edible yellow berries, and the slender dhirmbukvine with its edible tubers which is said to be one of Murayana's favourite foods. The miny'tji [pattern] of these plants is painted onto the body of initiates during circumcision and was always used by Malangi in paintings of Murayana as his body decoration or the floral elements that frame the painting. Similarly the artist decorated his figure carvings of Murayana with the same designs.
Murayana, this man manymak[good] … That tree belongs to Murayana, I call it wäri, it belongs to Murayana, dhirmbuk that belongs to tucker. That belongs to Murayana because he's the boss … Malangi, 1989[1]
[1] David Malangi from an interview with Margie West at Ramingining and Yathalamarra, September 20–21, 1989.

Texoma Soldier Needs Double Lung, Kidney Transplant
A Wichita Falls veteran who's fighting to survive in a Dallas hospital showed some improvement this afternoon.
Army Specialist Ray Losoya was taken off a life support machine around 3, and sat up in bed for around 20 minutes.
Losoya was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease after serving two tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, he's in need of an emergency double lung transplant. It has also been recently discovered that he needs a new kidney as well.
Losoya formerly worked at PPG, and has 8 kids and 18 grand kids with one more on the way.
His cousin Camila says, "He's big hearted. He loves everyone. He will bend over backward for you in a heartbeat. He's a family man."
Daughter Crystal says, "We have no doubt in our heart that he will be better. he's going to get through this. He's been through so much already there's no way he's giving up now."
The family is raising money to help defray the costs of his growing medical bills.
To help with costs of the family's mounting medical bills, there will be a benefit shoot this weekend. It's set for Sunday at 1 pm, at Pointman Pistol Range outside Henrietta. That's at 5815 Fairview Road.
You're asked to bring your weapons, ammunition, and your "a" game because a poker shoot is planned, as well as dueling tree and many other events.
If you'd like more information, just call Camila Losoya at (806)781-1800.

Late Works
In 1977 Fred Williams was the first Australian artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the home of works by significant modernist artists he had long admired. A couple of years later, his major multi-panelled Waterfall polyptych 1979 revealed his ongoing interest in Paul Cézanne's approach of painting multiple viewpoints of a particular location.
Soon after his return to Australia, Williams travelled to the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland resulting in some of his most innovative gouaches. These works were seen by Sir Roderick Carnegie, then Chairman of the mining company CRA (now Rio Tinto), who believed that the artist would benefit greatly from seeing the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Williams made a couple of visits in 1979. He did not agree to a commission but preferred to make works available for consideration later on. His great exhilaration and profound engagement with the region are revealed in oil paintings and especially in a range of brilliant gouaches, some of which are shown in this retrospective for the first time.
The Pilbara paintings were among Williams's last sustained body of works. Following his untimely death in 1982 they helped to confirm his reputation as one of the most significant landscape artists of the twentieth century.

Thankful Thursday... German Research Prompts New Questions
It's good to be a genealogist these days. My cousin contacted a Lutheran church in Gillersheim, Hannover. He made inquiries regarding our Mack relatives and their friends, the Puseckers, who traveled together to Columbus, Ohio on the Anne Lange in Nov 1854.
He received a wonderful letter in response to his queries. A sweet woman spent about 7 hours looking through the Kirchenbuch for the church and seems to have pushed our family back a few generations and supplied names for a wife we had not previously known. I'm very thankful for this wonderful woman's efforts.
Here comes the challenge. How, oh how, do I document this information? And is the letter of a person willing to do research enough 'evidence' to include these new names on my family tree? She says she looked through the Kirchenbuch and found this information. Since I'm so unfamiliar with German Genealogy, I'm stumped. I really want to be excited and claim new relatives. On the other hand, I feel a desire to have 'proof.'
What do you think? What have your experience in these situations been? And, would you ask for further proof (i.e. copies of the books or photos) or would you let it accept it and celebrate the discoveries?
3 comments :
I don't know exactly how you document the information (i.e. the citation details), but it would be as correspondence, with as much detail of what records this very nice person searched for you. I have a couple of letters that my grandmother received from Chicago cemeteries in the early 1960's indicating which ancestors were buried in the respective family plots. (She was paying for perpetual care for these plots.) I have not been to Chicago to see these cemeteries and have requested photos from FindAGrave, but no success yet. Awhile ago it was suggested that I document the information gained from these letters as correspondence.ReplyDelete
Hope this helps.
Elizabeth... so would you mark it as correspondence and add these people (great +6 grandmothers) to your tree yet. Or wait?ReplyDelete
I would add these people, and with this correspondence as the source. If you have an area to make notes, you can remind yourself that this information is based on secondary sources. At least with this, you have something to "start with" for when you visit Gillersheim, Hannover, or otherwise find additional sources to corroborate what you have here.ReplyDelete
How cool that this woman spent so much time looking for information about your family!

Everyone at khaki call thought it was a joke.
But when a chief on the destroyer Jason Dunham told the assembled chiefs and officers that he was going to line up residents in two female berthings and make them march human feces down the pier to portable toilets, he was serious.
The chief was irate because the toilets in both women's berthings had been used even though the ship's sewage system was turned off for repairs during an overhaul, according to a Navy report.
The chief intended the task to teach the women a lesson in following orders and being considerate towards those whose job it is to fix the toilets. But to investigators, it crossed the line into humiliation and hazing that should have been stopped.
The Naval Surface Force Atlantic investigation found Cmdr. Kenneth Rice and Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Stephen Vandergrifft failed to take immediate corrective action when they had enough information to know lines had been crossed. Both lost their jobs. Officials pulled Rice's command qualification and gave Vandergrifft nonjudicial punishment.
The report found that the decision to force 19 women, all E-6 and below, to clean feces out their toilets was an unsafe act of hazing. Navy Times obtained the roughly 250-page report via the Freedom of Information Act. Officials removed all names and titles except those of Rice, Vandergrifft and Cmdr. Michael Meredith, the ship's commanding officer.
The incident was several days in the making, the report found.
The investigation found there were prior incidents of people using toilets that couldn't be flushed, and each time a member of the ship's repair division — damage controlmen and hull technicians — had to clean it up. The week before the incident, a sailor received the CO's approval to make residents of the offending berthings help the hull techs clean up.
During an Oct. 15 general quarters drill, sailors were setting fire boundaries when they entered the female berthing and found fecal matter in another out-of-order toilet. It was festering on the plastic wrap covering the secured toilet.
A sailor reported it succinctly to the central control station then running the drill: "Berthing 5, on the plastic, man-sized gopher."
A 'nasty' punishment
Further investigation uncovered unauthorized defecating in the secured toilets in both female berthings.
After the GQ drill, the residents of both berthings were mustered and told to clean it up. The investigation found that the chief yelled and swore at the women, telling them they were going to march it down the pier so everyone could see "how nasty you all live."
Minutes earlier, the chief had announced his intention to march the women down the pier at the post-GQ debrief, which most took as a joke. After the khaki call, the chief told Rice that he would "take care of it," meaning he would address the secured toilet issue with the residents directly.
The investigation found that the chief didn't provide the women with the proper protective gear and equipment for handing human excrement. One witness said the feces were liquefied, filling the bowl to within two inches of the rim and having the "viscosity of a homemade milkshake."
The women had to scoop out the feces with their hands, covered only with blue plastic bags meant for feminine products, and a stack of Dixie paper cups.
One woman stuck her hand into the feces, pulled out "a glopful" and immediately vomited into the bag full of excrement, according to the report. The smell was so overpowering that one woman stood behind the bathroom, spraying air freshener.
Witnesses said that once the women assembled on the pier holding double-bagged buckets of waste, a sailor called them to attention, yelled out "forward march" and began marching them down the pier calling out "left, right, left, right" as they walked toward the portable toilets.
One sailor with 26 years in, whose name was redacted, was overheard saying, "I thought public humiliation was a violation of the [Uniform Code of Military Justice]," going on to say that even in the "old Navy" that type of mistreatment was off-limits, the report states.
The male berthing toilets had been peed in, but no men were made to clean their toilets. According to an unnamed sailor, the urine was left in the toilets until the sewage was turned back on because people generally believed that urine was sterile and not a health risk. This led one sailor to file an equal opportunity report, which prompted to the investigation.
Later that evening, Vandergrifft, the CMC, sought out Meredith, the CO, to tell him of the incident. Vandergrifft, who had heard several versions of the incident from his chiefs during the day, couldn't find the captain, so he informed Rice, the XO, instead, along with offering his opinion that the incident did not amount to an EO violation.
Meredith was not informed of the incident until much later, according to the report.
The investigation found that Rice should have taken action sooner and on incomplete information. He failed to recognize the seriousness of the incident, the report concluded. It also found Vandergrifft was negligent in fully recognizing the seriousness of the situation. He has since expressed regret for that failure, according to the report.
Meredith was issued a nonpunitive letter of caution for fostering a command climate in which he does not get informed of such incidents.
In addition to the firings, three sailors received nonjudicial punishment for dereliction of duty, making false official statements and violating the Navy's hazing policy. They were recommended for separation or a show-cause board.
Four other sailors received letters of instruction for failing to report the incident when they directly observed the women forming up on the pier with the buckets of excrement.

Texas Hill Country stretches from Austin, past northern San Antonio, and all the way to the border with Mexico. The hilly, scrubby terrain looks every bit like the Cowboy country of classic Texas. Wide-open spaces, coursing rivers, and the starriest skies you've ever seen call adventure seekers from all over. Whether you prefer a speedy stallion or mountain bike, the dusty trails go on forever and ever.

Landlubbers will have a blast hiking along the property's nature trail or playing beach volleyball, miniature golf, horseshoes, and basketball.
Come dinnertime, put your barbecue grill to good use. Cook up some kebabs over the coals, crack open a few cold ones, and kick back for a relaxed evening on your cabin's covered porch. A welcome s'mores kit contains all the ingredients you need to enjoy the gooey goodness of everyone's favorite campfire dessert.
"Our family really enjoyed our stay at Leisure Resort last week. During the three days we were there, we tubed down the San Marcos River, lounged by the pool, and enjoyed the mini golf and playground."-- TripAdvisor

I use this to mainly flavor the water I put my mixed m.s.m & glucosamine-chrondroitin in- as the msm can be somewhat bitter. Also its a good flavor if you have hard water.This is all so far but I plan to try it in other things.

Tickets $15. Need I say More.
Dude, I missed this last year. I will be there this year for sure.
Cool looking forward to seeing many of us mandos at the con.
Unfortunatly I won't have my Fett done for this, as Im aiming to have it done for an Event in Syracuse/Auburn in late October.
I'm only about an 1 hr from here, I may have to go.
I won't get my Boba done in time either at the rate Im going, unless I go jet packless:facepalm We should find out who all is going and meet up. I am about an hour from Syracuse.
The expo is fast approching, let's find out who all is in. It would be cool to meet up at least at some point.
The Falco Clan of Mandalorian Mercs will be there, and will be presenting Daniel Logan with an honorary Mandalorian Mercs membership plaque. Should be a very fun time for all!
Alrighty, In a weird twist of events... I have my Fett done enough to do a Con, and I signed up for some free passes from my Garrison, so I will be there!
Cool, we are gathering steam. I won't have my costume done in time, but will probably take the bucket to see if Daniel will sign it.
I have my tickets ordered, see everyone tomorrow.
aw man. i wish i knew about this earlier so i could go.

Public Affairs Specialist
(Oct. 22, 2008)--U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) and U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas) were on the UTSA 1604 Campus Oct. 21 to encourage voter participation.

UTSA's Student Government Association (SGA) hosted the congressmen as part of its student get-out-the-vote efforts. The representatives spoke to a crowd on the paseo outside the University Center.
Kennedy is serving his seventh term in Congress. He is the son of Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy. He represents the First District of Rhode Island.
Rodriguez, whose 23rd Congressional District includes the 1604 Campus, serves with Kennedy on the House Appropriations Committee.
Both Congressmen discussed the impact young voters can have on this election.
"I was impressed with how Congressman Kennedy emphasized the importance of young people and how we can make a difference," said UTSA senior Sarah Garcia.
Nicole Munoz, a sophomore international business major, took a break between classes to hear what the representatives had to say.
"UTSA is becoming a different university -- it's becoming more of a four-year, non-commuter university and students need to realize that," said Munoz. "The fact that Congressmen Kennedy and Rodriguez are listening to what we have to say is great and shows we've come a long way."
Their visit comes on the second day of early voting. Bexar County registered voters can vote through Oct. 31 at the 1604 Campus Main Building ground floor.

In our house, Christmas meant so many different things: Giving, faith, fun and especially family. We always understood that no matter what, nothing was more important than all these things.
We often look back at all our moments and, man, do we laugh at the fun we all shared in the Holmes household. When you raise six kids, believe me, things can get a little crazy during the holidays.
So what was Christmas like in our home every year? We would open one present the night before and no matter what you only could open one.
At the very moment when they were ready to open their present, we would ask the question, what are you thankful for? We always have been a family that is grateful for all the blessings that God has stored upon us.
Man, the great moments I remember most are about them opening that one present the night before. It was great to see each child shaking each present with their name on it just to make sure they open the right one.
Hope it was the make-up kit and doll they were hoping for all year long or the CD player and, yes, the one gift everyone had to share so they could all get along. You can imagine how that worked out.
Sometimes we would switch out the boxes. They would open the box with a Nintendo on the front but to their surprise it might have a radio inside of it. Man, they would give us that not-funny look: Now, where are real the presents?
Secondly, in the morning no one could open their presents until every child was up and our niece always seemed to be the last one out of the bed on that day. During that time of waiting for each of them to rise, those who were up would help with breakfast. One would cook the bacon, another sausage, eggs, pancakes, hash browns. Whatever that Shoney's had for breakfast, we had it too.
With all the great fun we had on the blessed day, we can all say that nothing could be greater than the memories we have to share.
There may have been moments where they argued about playing with someone else's toy or, "Please don't touch my stuff." But in the end, we still have family.
So if you look in our window on Christmas day, yes, we will be playing Shoney's breakfast at our home and waiting for everyone to come over before we open any of our presents.
Thank God for the blessing of our family Ceesha, Teran, Tabitha, Micah, Chianta' (Tat-Tay) and Little Pamela (Nay-Nay). The Holmes family prays you all have a blessed Christmas and happy New Year.
Stan Holmes is a member of Radcliff City Council.

The objects presented in this vitrine serve as artifacts of the most notorious scandal in the history of Japanese postwar avant-garde art. Akasegawa Genpei, who founded a trio of performance artists known as Hi Red Center, addressed the fundamental questions of art's authorship, value, and "place" in the realm of everyday society—issues that operated with special significance for these works. In an attempt to operate outside of the gallery system, he created fake banknotes in 1963, which he used as gallery invitations and as "packaging" for everyday objects, sparking a criminal investigation for currency fraud. A highly publicized trial ensued in 1966, which the artist and his defense team used to leverage courtroom dialogue about art's status and value. Ironically, while Akasegawa is commonly positioned within a conceptual anti-art discourse, the trial resulted in art's legitimation, though the artist himself was found guilty of fraud. As if in defiance of these results, Akasegawa went on to generate more currency, this time in the form of "Greater Japan Zero-Yen Notes"—his version of "no-value money."

I fully expect the Giants to move out of the 32nd pick. However, for mock purposes, lets assume they stay.
Rd 1 - Devon Still, DT - Penn State..... manchild! an unstoppable force for Penn State and team him up with Linval. Aint no one running inside.
Rd 2 - Kevin Zeitler, OG - Wisconsin... Perfect fit for the Giants O-line. Reminds me a lot of Snee and his style of play.
Rd 3 - Bernard Pierece, RB - Temple... between the tackles type of runner. Decent speed, but his vision is great. Giants can get back to having a respectable run game and allow Eli to air it out some more.
Rd 4 - Michael Egnew, TE - Missouri.... Ideal size and tangibles. He needs to be more consistent with his play. The loss Gabbert this past season probably hurt his production, but he is a talented TE prospect.
Rd 5 - Jerry Franklin, ILB - Arkansas... Super productive linebacker in SEC. Can play inside and out. He also can be a nice addition and provide competition to the Linebacker spots.
Rd 6 - Tyrone Crawford, DE - Boise State... JUCO player that was super productive at DE. He may be a year or two away from being a contributor, but the Giants can afford to wait.
Rd 7 - Levy Ad****, OT - Okla State... Giants need depth and Ad**** is good value. He shut down Oklahoma's top pass rusher.

Installing A Husband
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed
a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the
flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under
Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs,
such as
·Romance 9.5, and
·Personal Attention 6.5,
and then installed undesirable programs such as
·NFL 3.0, and
·Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, andHousecleaning 2.6 simply
crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems,
but to no avail.
What can I do?
First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
·Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download
Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then auto-
matically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause
Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or
Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download
the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0.
(It runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all
your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.
These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited
memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider
buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend
·Cooking 3.0, and
·Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck, Babe.

USDA home loan program helped widowed senior afford safe, year-round home in Breezy Point
Beverly Lawyer learned firsthand that there is much more to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) than meat inspection and production agriculture.
When her husband was alive, the couple took their RV to a warm locale during the winter and then lived in their three-season cabin in Breezy Point the rest of the year.
When her husband passed away in 2011, Lawyer could not handle RV living alone. However, the Breezy Point cabin was not safe for year-round living and her finances were tight.
Lawyer learned of USDA Rural Development, called and rural development specialist Terry Atkinson visited Lawyer's home to assess the needed improvements. Lawyer worked with Atkinson in Rural Development's Baxter office, which approved a 20-year loan at 1 percent interest to winterize and repair the cabin.
Rural Development's direct home repair loan and grant programs are designed to help eligible, low-income seniors who own inadequate but repairable housing. Applicants must be a rural resident or living in a town with population under 20,000.
Qualified projects can include repairing or replacing a roof, winterizing, purchasing or repairing a heating system, structural repair, water and sewage connect fees and similar uses.
Applicants work with a local Rural Development specialist throughout the application process, which includes an appraisal and review of repayment ability and credit record.
In addition to helping seniors with home repairs that allow them to stay in their own homes, Rural Development also has loan programs to help lower-income rural residents purchase a home.
Colleen Landkamer, USDA Rural Development state director, said, "By helping seniors keep their homes in good repair and increasing the number of homeowners in rural communities, you're increasing the number of people that shop at local businesses and contribute to the regional economy."
Rural Development has invested more than $2 billion since 2009 to increase homeownership in rural Minnesota.
To learn more about Rural Development's home loan programs, call the Baxter area office at 218-829-5965 or visit www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn.

Most of the bile has stopped but there are some still banging on about Steve Walsh's refereeing impact on the Six Nations decider and ignoring the margin of Wales' 30-3 victory against England.
There was a similar carry-on when France beat the All Blacks at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, however that had more context because of the narrow margin.
But England, dear old England, complete with their cheerleading media sidekicks, went to that same ground where the All Blacks creaked six years ago, and were dismembered.
The penalty count was lopsided but nothing like Wayne Barnes' decisions in 2007.
What was clear, and acknowledged by a succession of scrum penalties and lack of decisions at the breakdown, was that the laws are in serious need of an update.
Referees are asked to make scrum judgments and Wales benefited from supremacy in that area of the Six Nations decider.
If scrums remain a mystery, the breakdowns are worse.
It doesn't matter where you look, north or south of the equator, Super 15 or Heineken Cup, the tackled ball and breakdown rules are baffling.
Players get isolated but somehow, after several forward rolls, a half-pike, mandatory ball cuddle, re-evaluation of the air pressure and subsequent squeeze-ball tactic, they win a penalty while several tacklers raise their arms in frustration.
At other times, sides seal off the ball, come in from all sorts of angles or clean out players who are nowhere near the ball and officials blithely signal play to carry on.
It's daft. Rugby's rules are getting more blurry, referees are given no chance and spectators have little inkling about decisions.
We have a bit over two years until the next World Cup reconvenes in Europe. It's enough time, even for the dribblers who administer the sport, to make some strong decisions about areas which are a blight on the game.
The scrum engagement is always hold-your-breath territory. Whatever side the referee stands on, the other will be getting up to some nonsense because the assistant refs rarely intervene.
One solution would be for the front rows to engage and get set before the back five are asked to join their teammates. Or get the tight five into combat before the loose forwards are involved.
The emasculated breakdown remains a shemozzle. Without rucking, the tackler and his victim grapple on the ground as they simulate releasing each other and possession.
When match officials get to those pile-ups, they have often missed some vital evidence before making their decisions.
If administrators allow rucks to be a free-for-all contest with the only arbiter being the offside line, they might even get some more space on the field for the game to develop.

This compelling study of the Ri-me movement and of the major Buddhist lineages of Tibet is comprehensive and accessible.
It includes an introduction to the history and philosophy of the Ri-me movement; a biography of the movement's leader, the meditation master and philosopher known as Jamgön Kongtrul the Great; helpful summaries of the eight lineages' practice-and-study systems, which point out the different emphases of the schools; an explanation of the most hotly disputed concepts; and an overview of the old and new tantras.
Jamgön Kongtrul the Great (1813–1899) is a giant in Tibetan history, renowned for his scholarly and meditative achievements, but also for his energetic yet evenhanded work to unify and strengthen the different lineages of Buddhism. The Ri-me movement, led by Kongtrul and several other leading scholars of the time, was a unifying effort to cut through interscholastic divisions and disputes that were occurring between the different lineages. These leaders sought appreciation of the differences and acknowledgment of the importance of variety in benefiting practitioners with different needs. The Ri-me teachers also took great care that the teachings and practices of the different schools and lineages, and their unique styles, did not become confused with one another. This lucid survey of the Ri-me movement will be of interest to serious scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
News & Reviews
"In this new text, Naropa University professor Ringu Tulku presents an in-depth look at the Ri-me movement and its leader. Tulku's lucid history includes a biography of Jamgön Kongtrul the Great, summaries of the movement's philosophies, and the practices and views of the major Tibetan lineages. "—Tricycle

So, You Have Cool Game Ideas?
game company idea ideas development business it' new time
To be honest, it's very VERY difficult for someone outside a game company to get their ideas past said company's front door.
For that matter, it's not all that easy to get a game company to look at your ideas if you work for them! There are a number of reasons for this:
- The "Legal Reasons" that everyone speaks of revolve around legal possession of an idea. Let's say that a company had a similar idea a year ago and they've spent a million dollars or more developing that idea up until this point. The company says, "Sure, I'd love to hear your new, innovative game idea." It turns out the idea is the same as the one the company has been working on for the past year and, when the game comes out, you have a "he said/she said" lawsuit on your hands over whose idea the game was in the first place. That is a hassle that no company wants.
- A lot of people don't understand the fundamentals of the games development business. They don't understand technology limitations, development times, financial concerns or any of the other headaches of developing a new product. Their idea proposals say things like, "You would recreate New York City to scale and have 4 million unique looking and sounding individuals that you can interact with and you can have 500,000 of them on the screen at the same time when you join them in Times Square for the New Year's Eve ball drop. That's when the aliens attack and severely damage the city, so all of the buildings have to be half-destroyed as the city is plunged into chaos and eternal night. Then you and your band of 10,000 resistance fighters lead the charge with 50 different weapons and squad based tactics and the game would toggle between first person, third person, top down and map views" and on and on and on and on and on... You see what I mean? A vast majority of game idea submissions suffer from this problem. I call it "Newbie Ambition." Game Development is mostly about figuring out "what cool stuff you can do in a limited time period with limited cash."
- Another reason for not accepting game ideas is a question of who takes the risk? The game company is spending 2-3 million dollars on the development cycle for the game and, in turn, they are taking all of the risk. Why, then, should they pay someone from outside the company for their game idea when they aren't taking any of the risk? Generally speaking, every game company has more ideas of their own on the back burner than they will ever have time to produce and thus, there's no reason to accept outside ideas.
Think of game companies as established entities in the entertainment business. Generally speaking, game companies think they know everything there is to know about gaming because they've paid their dues and worked their way to the top. Just as you won't sell a Star Wars sequel to George Lucas or a spec ops book to Tom Clancy, odds are you won't sell your big idea to a game developer. Sadly, it's just the nature of the business.
Now, if you DO want to get your idea made into a game, there are a couple of things you can do:
- Get a job at a game company. If you're on the inside, your chances of getting your ideas noticed or accepted are much greater because most of the legalities disappear.
- Get a team together and make the game yourself. If not the whole game, make a solid, working demo. This will show publishers that you're serious and it will give them something concrete to look at. Game development is a very visual business and it's a lot easier to judge a game idea from a demo than from a piece of paper or a wordy verbal description.
Hope this helps!

Serves 6
• 18 freshly shucked oysters (3 per person)
• 100g freshly finely ground white bread crumbs
• 40g unsalted butter
• 10g of parsley, chives and dill
• 200g cooked spinach
• squeeze of lemon juice
• Rock salt and lemon wedges for serving
1. Shuck the oysters and save any liquid that is in them by straining it into a small bowl, reserve.
2. Keep the bottom part of the shell and wash, discard the shell lid.
3. In a heavy-based frying pan heat 20g of butter until it starts to foam. When it does, add the breadcrumbs and toast, stirring constantly to prevent burning. When they are an even golden brown colour take off the heat and put in a tray to cool.
4. Finely chop the herbs. It doesn't matter too much about the ratios, you will need a good couple of tablespoons of herbs for the mix.
5. Mix the chopped herbs with the toasted breadcrumbs, add a small squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
6. Heat the spinach in a small pan using the rest of the butter with a a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper.
7. In another pot, pour in the oyster juices and a squeeze of lemon juice. Gently heat through the oysters, you may need to add a little water so the oysters can poach. You are only warming the oysters through and taking the chill off them. If you boil them they will overcook very quickly, shrink and go rubbery.
8. On a baking tray, lightly scrunch up about 60cm of tin foil and put the oyster shells on it, as you would put eggs in an egg tray. This keeps the shells level and allows for even grilling.
9. Take the the warmed spinach and squeeze out any excess liquid. Evenly divide it between the 18 shells. Place one oyster into each shell.
10. Finally sprinkle the breadcrumb mix over the oysters so they are totally covered. Place under a pre-heated grill and watch it like a hawk, as the pre-toasted breadcrumbs will burn in a flash if you're not vigilant.
11. Using a pair of tongs, arrange the oysters on a large platter using the rock salt as a base to keep the oysters from sliding and falling over.
Serve with lemon wedges and eat immediately.

"Project X" is an amateurish film that exists merely to be exploitative of teenaged debauchery. Chronicling a high school keg party that escalates into a fully fledged riot, the movie makes no bones about gratuitously documenting the sex, drugs and loud music inherent in a teen party. It shows no shame in completely reveling in the lust, lewd behaviour, substance abuse, violence and vandalism that often occur when hormones, intoxicants, youth and lack of parental supervision mix.
It's a movie that's crude, crass and morally reprehensible.
I approve.

Crumley House Financial Boost
Washington County, Tenn. -
The seriousness of brain injuries is in the spotlight these days as new research reveals links between sports injuries and concussions.
Recovery from a traumatic brain injury can take months, years maybe the rest of a person's life.
Now, a special place in Limestone that helps those with brain injuries is getting a new boost.
They're getting a six-figure boost:
Last time we visited The Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, they were breaking ground for a five bedroom residents home.
Now that's competed, and full, but the need for even more room at the center is still growing as the number of brain injuries continue to grow.
"In the state of Tennessee we have seven thousand or more brain injuries that require hospitalization of one day or more each year. In the Tri Cities, the lower nine counties in East Tennessee we have an average of about 230 brain injuries every three months," Says executive director Guynn Edwards.
After hospitalization then what,especially in severe cases? That's what Crumley House is all about.
"It comes down to a quality of life issue and if you can keep these folks motivated and keep them doing something each day, have a reason for them to get up in the mornings and come and participate in a program like we have it give them a reason to want to continue," Edwards said.
That's why legislators from Washington County asked for 100-thousand dollars in this year's state budget and coming years for The Crumley House.
"We've got about 158 on the waiting list now and what we're trying to do is to build a new wing on the existing part of the building that we have now and we want to be able to provide about 12 more rooms for residents who need them," He explained.
And a better quality of life for those with traumatic brain injuries in our region.

Joe, that machine does not have the embroidery unit installed, so is a ss/zz only. It could be the stopmatic, but it could also be a $50-$75 internal belt. Or another issue. If it were a CL machine, it would be well worth the effort and time to see what's wrong with it. I would consider such a machine a gamble buying it via GW and wouldn't pay more than I would for a parts machine. And keep in mind Pfaffs usually go somewhat high (non-working) simply for the parts. And I sure wouldn't pay to ship a parts machine that weighs 45 lbs. It's a nice looking machine though, but I bet it sells for at least $50-$75....or more. Those dang belts!
I should also add, that they are prone to having locked up dials (stitch width) etc. and can also be prone to being stuck into a zigzag or slight zigzag. I've purchased 4 vintage Pfaffs and 3 of them had needed intense rehab. and a lot of cash thrown at them. I love them and they were worth the time and effort but that's something to think about.

When you stuff the base of a toilet with tissue paper to avoid an embarrasing splash and also to avoid taking the blame for the rancid smells as you leave. This is usually accompanied by very careful, stealthily release of ones flatulance. For added effect you can also shoot a disaproving look towards an engaged cubicle as you wash your hands (making sure fellow hand-washers see) to shift the blame onto an unsuspecting victim. This especially applies in a public bathroom and is typically actioned by women.
The bathroom in the shopping centre was packed, so to keep her dignity, Sarah let rip with a PARACHUTE POO, thus leaving everyone oblivious to the fact that it was her that just cut the cheese.

How will this work for a hive location (by the cinder blocks)? This is an unused corner of yard between a chicken yard and a few fruit trees. I'd leave enough room to get behind the hives to get the screened bottom board cover and tray out. The plumb tree would shade the boxes for a few hours of the day in the summer when the leaves are on. It might help the bees stay cool. The winter the leaves wont be on and the hive will get sun all day. Closest neighbors are a few hundred feet away from this location. And its 60' to my shop so I don't think that will be a problem.
Also, what is the best way to water the bees in summer? I'll have frame feeders till they are established. But it doesn't rain for nine months of the year here and there isn't a natural water source around. It gets evil hot and there is very low humidity and extremely dry. I was thinking an auto filling dog bowl with rocks in it to keep the drownings down.
If the entrance to the hive is facing toward the left (facing south-east), you might want to grow some climbing vines (like pole beans?) on the fence around it to help with shading it. Mine is sort of surrounded by blackberry bushes.
For providing water, you could use a chicken waterer so you don't have to keep refilling it more than once every 3-4 days (depending on how big it is). It might also be helpful to put the waterer in the shade so it doesn't heat up the water inside. This is an example. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...lectedIndex=60
There are lots of beeks that believe that full sun hive placement assists in keeping small hive beetles under control. My current hives get shade during high sun, but the new hives I will be establishing this spring will see low and high sun.
And I think a dog waterer with rocks will work fine for bees. Mine drink out of an open rain barrel with wood scraps floating for landing pads.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
i like the chicken waterer with small rocks in it.
Looks like a good location. Its best if the entrances face E or SE to get the bees up & working early. The afternoon summer shade would be good also. None of these things are mandatory, but if you have an option consider them.
Shouldn't have any beetle problems where you live.

I have gotten them both ways. Delivered at 8 Am because they lost my phone number(my normal delivery is at 4:00 Pm but they didn't want the bees in the post office) A call at 4:30 pm to please come and get your bees or a call at 6:00 Am to come get your bees. I also run my own business but they prefer me to pick them up at the post office when they call. I have had to close my business for an hour to pick up the bees. Post office employees seem to dislike bees in cages.

Earthquakes back to San Jose - will we see them at Stanford?
Original post made by Sports fan, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jul 18, 2007
Personally, I would love to see this happen. Stanford Stadium is only occasionally used which seems a waste and we do have many soccer fans here, as last Saturday's event proved.
The one thing that must be improved is the traffic control. Whoever is the chief traffic engineer at the City must sit down and work out a plan that will work, unlike last weekend's fiasco.
The City of Palo Alto needs this to happen. Think of the tax revenue we can roll in. Think of the visitors to the City. Think of the value to local businesses, restaurants, etc.
This proposal should be put to the Earthquakes management and let's look forward to professional soccer at Stanford.

I am not sure that the city of Palo Alto will allow more soccer games at Stanford Stadium--tis creates too much traffic, especially down a well-traveled thoroughfare that happens to go by the home of one of Palo Alto's political elite.

I'm not sure league soccer matches can be played at Stanford; I seem to remember that the field is too small to meet international standards. True?
a resident of Downtown North
on Jul 18, 2007 at 12:56 pm
The field size is fine. Those of us who hang out on the Earthquakes forum agree that Stanford would be an ideal interim venue for the team. However, the price tag is high--Stanford apparently charged Chelsea over $100,000 for last Saturday's event.
The traffic would be much less of a problem for regular games, which typically draw around 20,000 fans. And regular attendees are familiar with the traffic patterns and public transit options so they know how to get to games without creating (or getting caught in) traffic jams.
For info on getting your season tickets, see Web Link
This is an exciting day for soccer fans throughout the Bay Area!

I think (although I might be wrong) that FIFA wants a bigger touch line boundary around the field than there is at Stanford. This would mean that Stanford is out for World Cup official matches, but I have no reason to believe that MLS league has a problem. As far as I am aware, other MLS teams use football fields without problems.
a resident of Midtown
on Jul 18, 2007 at 3:28 pm
The soccer match held there just a few days ago between Chelsea and Club America was very successful. In fact, for many it was their first time at the new stadium. Everyone I have spoken to believe that it was a fantastic facility for soccer matches.
We aren't talking about World Cup qualifying matches or anything. We are talking about about 20 dates with the same size attendance as a Stanford Football game.
Furthermore, I bet most in Palo Alto hardly noticed a difference in traffic the day of the Chelsea v Club America match, and there was nearly 40,000 people there.
I think this is a great opportunity for the University to showcase all of the hardwork and money that went into the re-construction of Stanford Stadium. I find it hard to believe that so much money was spent for it to only be used about 10 times a year.

on Jul 18, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Stanford stadium doesn't meet FIFA's World Cup guidelines, but would qualify for MLS games. It is probably the only option for the new expansion team at this point. Stanford stadium is grossly underused and it would be great if it's utilized for the world's game:futbol in latin America, football in Europe, aka soccer in this country.

Can someone clarify something? Is it the Houston team returning to San Jose or is it a new extension team being formed? I have read/heard conflicting accounts.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jul 18, 2007 at 7:08 pm
It's a brand new expansion team. The Houston team, now named Houston Dynamo, formerly the San Jose Earthquakes, remains in Houston. My guess is that their coach, a former San Jose player and a Bay area native, will end up coaching the new expansion team.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jul 18, 2007 at 10:27 pm
We are finally getting a professional soccer team with a local owner who has a deep commitment to the sport and to the fans--something the Earthquakes lacked in their previous manifestation.
There's much speculation about coaches and players at Web Link
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 19, 2007 at 10:02 am
My thoughts are that we need to get another European soccer giant on the team, either as player or manager, and then when we get against Beckham we can really see what the game is all about.
a resident of College Terrace
on Jul 19, 2007 at 3:30 pm
It would be great to see more soccer at Stanford. The new stadium is fantastic -- any excuse to get out there for a sporting event is welcome.

Clerodendrum infortunatum
|Hill glory bower
|Clerodendrum infortunatum at Kadavoor
|Scientific classification
|C. infortunatum
|Binomial name
|Clerodendrum infortunatum
Clerodendrum infortunatum, the hill glory bower, is a perennial shrub belonging to the family Lamiaceae, also sometimes classified under Verbenaceae. It is the type species among ~400 species of Clerodendrum. It is one of the most well-known natural health remedies in traditional practices and siddha medicine.
The species is native to tropical regions of Asia including Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Andaman Islands, and Sri Lanka.[1][2]class
Clerodendrum infortunatum is a flowering shrub or small tree, and is so named because of its rather ugly leaf. The stem is eresct, 0.5–4 m high, with no branches and produce circular leaves with 6 inch diameter. Leaves are simple, opposite; both surfaces sparsely villous-pubescent, elliptic, broadly elliptic, ovate or elongate ovate, 3.5–20 cm wide, 6–25 cm long, dentate, inflorescence in terminal, peduncled, few-flowered cyme; flowers white with purplish pink or dull-purple throat, pubescent. Fruit berry, globose, turned bluish-black or black when ripe, enclosed in the red accrescent fruiting-calyx. The stem is hollow and the leaves are 6-8 inch (15–20 cm) long, borne in whorls of four on very short petioles. The inflorescence is huge, consisting of many tubular snow white flowers in a terminal cluster up to 2 ft (0.6 m) long. The tubes of the flowers are about 4 inch (10 cm) long and droop downward, and the expanded corollas are about 2 inch (5 cm) across. The fruits are attractive dark metallic blue drupes, about a half inch in diameter. Fruit usually with 4 dry nutlets and the seeds may be with or without endosperm. It flowers from April to August.[2]
Chemical constituents[edit]
The major compounds are sterols, sugars, flavonoids and saponins. Novel crystalline compounds such as clerodolone, clerodone, clerodol and a sterol designated clerosterol have been isolated from the root. Seven sugars namely raffinose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, galactose, glucose and fructose were identified.[3] Fumaric acid, caffeic acid esters, β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol glucoside were isolated from the flowers.[4] Apigenin, acacetin and a new flavone glycoside, characterised as the methyl ester of acacetin-7-0-glucuronide are isolated from the flowers.[5] Saponin is one of the major compounds of the leaf.[6] 24 beta-ethylsterols, clerosterol and 22-dehydroclerosterol, 24-methyl-sterols (24-methylcholestanol, 24-methylcholesterol, 24-methyl-22-dehydrocholesterol, and 24-methyllathostero) and 24 beta-ethyl-22-dehydrocholestanol are found in the seeds.[7] Scutellarin and hispidulin-7-O-glucuronide are present in the leaf.[8] Poriferasterol and stigmasterol are the components of the aerial parts.[9]
Ayurvedic and Siddha medicines[edit]
In Ayurvedic and Siddha traditional medicines, the leaves and roots of C. infortunatum are used as herbal remedy for alopecia, asthma, cough, diarrhoea, rheumatism, fever and skin diseases. It is also known to have hepato-protective and antimicrobial activities.[10][unreliable medical source?] The roots and bark of stem of this plant prepared as decoction and given in the dose of 60-80 ml twice daily for respiratory diseases, fever, periodic fever, cough, bronchial asthma, etc.[citation needed] The leaves are ground well and applied externally to induce ripenning of ulcers and swellings.[citation needed] A paste of leaves and roots are applied externally over skin diseases especially fungal infections and alopecia.[citation needed] Fresh leaves are given for diarrhoea, liver disorders and headache.[11]
Traditional practices[edit]
The leaf and root are widely used as antidandruff, antipyretic, ascaricide, laxative, vermifuge, and in treatments of convulsion, diabetes, gravel, malaria, scabies, skin diseases, sore, spasm, scorpion sting, snake bite and tumor.[12][13] In Thai medicine the leaves and root are known to be diuretic; and used for treatment of intestinal infections and kidney dysfunction; when boiled or ground with water, it is taken to increase milk secretion for post-labor. In many traditional practices the leaves and root are widely used as antihyperglycemic.[14]

Yes Tomas....Im am wine drinker too, but Ive been watching some All Blacks Rugby history recently and some how wine just does work in that scenario, though New Zealand makes great wine so maybe.
The old proverb "if you can't beat them, join them" works perfectly here. Your listeners love your music so much that they spend the time to build videos and share them with the world. If that isn't passion, I don't know what is. Treat it as word of mouth promotion, which IMO is the best kind.
The ultimate option is to beat them to the punch. Upload the music yourself and tag the shit out of it. Get listeners hitting your page instead of some random listener. Build a YouTube audience and show that you're not afraid to share an entire album. Be sure to remind them that if they enjoy the music, they can support you by purchasing it.
Unless I'm mistaken the Youtube tagging thing has changed, I can't see any tagging options recently (?)
I think that we now in modern time are allowed to be tremendously open minded for more variety of sound and sound awareness.


text: casually it would seem to me that since honeybee races in america were imported to the us of a over a fairly long period of time this should suggest that there would only be insignificant (if that?) indiviudals that actually represent pure (not hybridized) stock. secondly since european honeybee originated out of africa in what is now though to be three migrations with each period punctunated by the hammer and anvil of natural selection (and a reduction in genetic diversity) that there should be signicantly more genetic diversity represented within the african honeybee than their european cousins.

This may include, but is not limited to, T-shirts, undershirts, "wifebeaters", sweatshirts, sweaters, coats, jackets, polos, basketball jerseys, vests, tuxedos, overalls, tunics, raincoats, parkas, jumpsuits, and turtlenecks.
Dude, why are you wearing an entire Thonet when it's 65 degrees out?" "The ladies love the layers, that's why. Hold my V-neck while I slip into this denim jacket here."
