text: %%%% Zero context examples and poorly written examples have been removed. If you want to re-add an example or add a new provide contexts that fully explains how the character fits the trope.%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%[[quoteright:295:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bonanza.jpg]][[caption-width-right:295:The cover of the ''Ponderosa Party Time'' LP album, released in 1962. Yes, the cast sings on it.]]Archetypal television western which was broadcast between 1959 and 1973, ''Bonanza'' told the story of the Cartwright family, owners of a vast ranch called the Ponderosa:* Ben Cartwright (Creator/LorneGreene), patriarch of the family, a former ship's chandler from New England* Adam Cartwright (Pernell Roberts), his eldest son by his first (late) wife. He was the quiet, educated, broody one who dressed all in black.* Eric "Hoss" Cartwright (Dan Blocker), his middle son by his second (late) wife. He was the affable GentleGiant and usually a peacemaker between his brothers.* Joseph "Little Joe" Cartwright (Michael Landon), his youngest son, by his third (late) wife. He was the young, hotheaded immature one.Beyond the core cast of Cartwrights, the program had a vast ensemble of regulars and {{recurrer}}s numbering literally in the hundreds, including at times such current and future famous names as Creator/JamesCoburn, Tim Matheson, Jack Elam, Buddy Ebsen, Mariette Hartley, Tom Skerritt, Creator/HarryDeanStanton, George Kennedy, Creator/BruceDern, Bonnie Bedelia, Dawn Wells, Wayne Newton, Creator/MajelBarrett, Creator/JamesDoohan and Creator/DeForestKelley. Beyond the big name guest stars, there were rarely one-off characters on ''Bonanza'' -- almost every character ever seen, even bad guys, made appearances in at least two episodes; and even nameless extras in the background (such as "Blonde Saloon Girl" and "Brunette Saloon Girl") could and did have multi-year runs playing their characters. In fact, between the length of its time on the air and the scope of its storylines, ''Bonanza'' was virtually a gateway series for talent both new and established looking for television credits.More than just a "shoot-em-up" horse opera, ''Bonanza'' first exploited and then explored the clichés of TheWestern, eventually evolving into something more than its origins might have suggested it was capable of.!!''Bonanza'' provides examples of:* ActionDad: Ben Cartwright isn't afraid to get into his share of fights.* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: See ChineseLaborer.* BadassBookworm: Adam Cartwright is the one with the formal education and book knowledge, but he can still more than hold his own in a fight.* BadassFamily: The Cartwrights.* BarBrawl: A staple of the Bucket of Blood saloon.* TheBarber: Virginia City's barber shop gets the limelight in "The Last Haircut".* BigEater: Hoss Cartwright.* BigGuyLittleGuy: Hoss and Little Joe.%%* BountyHunter* BroomstickQuarterstaff: Little Joe fences with an umbrella in the pilot episode.* BurnBabyBurn: The notorious mapburning at the start of the opening credits.** The 1970 season opener, "The Night Virginia City Died," featured plenty of fire ... the burning of old buildings by an arsonist, that is. The fires were a way to explain the move of filming the series from Creator/{{Paramount}} to the new Creator/WarnerBros studios.* CantHoldHisLiquor: This is pointed out verbatim about Little Joe in "Calamity Over the Comstock", although usually he doesn't appear to have a problem.* CartwrightCurse: The TropeNamer. Ben Cartwright has been thrice-widowed. His first wife, Elizabeth Stoddard, died from complications after giving birth to Adam. His second wife, a Swedish woman named Inger Stevenson (and also Hoss' mother), was killed during an Indian attack. Ben's third wife and the mother of Little Joe, Marie [=DeMarigny=], died from injuries after she fell off her horse. * CatapultNightmare: Little Joe has one in "The Quality of Mercy".* CattleBaron: A rare protagonist example of the trope, the Cartwright family are stated to have a 640,000 acre spread and a few hundred permanent (though rarely seen) employees. Moving a few thousand head of cattle to new pastures is a morning's work, and the Nevada mining industry was nearly crippled by Ben's refusal to cut and sell more lumber than he was already providing.* CattleDrive: Several episodes used this as the main plot -- usually, Ben or someone dealing with rustlers, trying to resolve a problem within a short time, etc. -- or to frame a completely different story. More than once, when an episode focused exclusively on just one or two of the Cartwrights or other regulars and they didn't need the others around, the character would invariably explain that the missing Cartwrights were "away on a cattle drive" (with the given actor either not appearing at all or appearing just briefly at the beginning or end). * TheCharmer: Little Joe in spades.* ChineseLaborer: Complete with AsianSpeekeeEngrish.* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Some characters are never seen nor heard from again.%%* ColdOpen* CoolOldGuy: Ben Cartwright prefers to stay at home and act as MissionControl to his sons, but when the chips are down he can fight, shoot and work just as well as his boys.* CousinOliver: The addition of Jamie Hunter Cartwright (Mitch Vogel) to open the 1970-1971 season. As the character of Little Joe began maturing throughout the 1960s, he began to be too old to take Ben's intended-for-teenager's fatherly advice. That, and to maintain interest among younger viewers, justified Jamie's arrival on the Ponderosa. (To be fair, the series continued to be a top 20 hit for two more seasons, with the real dooming catalyst being Dan Blocker's death and a move of the series to Tuesday evenings from its longtime Sunday night home.)* {{Cowboy}}: Naturally, seeing as the Cartwrights own the largest cattle ranch in Nevada.* Creator/CharlesDickens: Appears in the episode "A Passion for Justice".* CreditsGag: Subtle ones. In the end credits for many years (and the opening credits in some early years), they would show drawings of people living in Old West times, doing things the way the credit listed would have done. Such as showing an old man with a fiddle for "music by" (on another drawing, the Livingston-Evans song would accompany a pianist), a man reading a book called ''Bonanza'' for the writing credits, or an old fashioned Daguerreotype camera for "director of photography". The last picture would be of a showgirl on a curtained stage (this picture was the only one used in the final two seasons). * CriminalDoppelganger: All four of the Cartwrights have one. ** Joe actually has two! Shorty Slade from "The Gunmen", and Angus Borden from "Alias Joe Cartwright".** Ben's "criminal twin" was a con artist named Bradley Meredith, whose schemes to gain control of the Ponderosa (usually through gambling) come when Ben is out of the area on business. The two episodes featuring Meredith aired as season finales in 1971 and 1972 (with another planned for 1973, had the series continued), and Ben always arrives back home in time to gather enough ammunition to run Bradley out.* CulturedBadass: The Cartwrights. For all their salt-of-the-earthiness and willingness to get their hands dirty, the Cartwrights have fashionable town-clothes, a large, lavishly but tastefully decorated home and modern, expensive weapons. Ben Cartwright is also partial to fine French wines, Château Lafite in particular.* DarkIsNotEvil: Adam's main outfit is completely black, occasionally with a splash of color, and he's probably the broodiest of the bunch. Yet he's still loyal to his family and won't hesitate to help anyone in need.* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Lonely Man" focuses on Hop Sing (and shows that The CartwrightCurse rubbed off on him). * DeadpanSnarker: Adam is typically the one to take on this role.* DeathGlare: Ben Cartwright is quite skilled in death glares; a particularly outstanding one can be seen in the final scene of "The Gift".* DefeatMeansFriendship: Hoss and Arnie become fast friends in ''The Ape'' after fighting to a draw. Due to a misunderstanding, neither one of them knew what they were actually fighting over.* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Ben is occasionally seen with one, as befits both a patriarch and a former sailor.* DistressedDude: All the Cartwrights have found themselves held hostage at some point. Little Joe is certainly the worst offender.* DownerEnding: It's not uncommon in dramatic episodes for a good character to die within the last minute of the episode's runtime.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Cartwrights in the early episodes often confronted strangers in the Ponderosa in a hostile fashion with guns drawn. Lorne Greene convinced the producers that since the Cartwrights are such major landowners and a major business interest in the region, they logically would be more hospitable to visitors for economic, social and political purposes.* EvilUncle: Inger's brother Gunnar.* FamilyBusiness: The Ponderosa* MrFanservice: Adam, Joe, and Candy. The last two in particular spend a ''lot'' of time [[HotMenAtWork working shirtless]].* FastestGunInTheWest: Little Joe has an exceptional quick draw.* FauxAffablyEvil: Many of the VillainOfTheWeek displayed this, with [[spoiler: Gerald Eskith]] being a notable example.* FeudingFamilies: The Mahans and the Clarks in "Blessed Are They".* FiveManBand:** TheHero = Ben** TheLancer = Little Joe** TheBigGuy = Hoss** TheSmartGuy = Adam** TheChick = Hop-Sing** TheSixthRanger = Candy* ForgottenThemeTuneLyrics:--> "We chased lady luck, 'til we finally struck Bonanza.--> "With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, planted a family tree.--> "We got hold of a pot of gold, Bonanza.--> "With a horse and a saddle, and a range full of cattle,--> "How rich can a fellow be?"* FourthDateMarriage: Happens frequently, often, and at least twice to each of the main characters, although the altar isn't always reached by the time it's [[StatusQuoIsGod called off]]. Justified a little by the fact marriages often did occur with haste back in the 1800s. * FourTemperamentEnsemble:** Ben = Choleric** Adam = Melancholic** Hoss = Phlegmatic** Little Joe = Sanguine* FrontierDoctor: Paul Martin.* FunnyForeigner: The ChineseLaborer Hop Sing -- though [[SocietyMarchesOn nowadays]], [[OnceAcceptableTargets not so much]].* TheGamblingAddict: Helen Layton, who'd driven her husband to drink himself to death over her gambling debts, and latched onto Hoss as her new {{sugar daddy}}. When she was exposed, she left town with another man.** In the 1972-1973 season premiere "Forever," Little Joe's tragic bride Alice Harper has a brother, John, who is a hopeless gambling addict on the run from a ruthless gambler named Sloan. Sloan and his henchmen kill both John and Alice when they break into the home of Joe and Alice Cartwright (when Joe wasn't home) in an attempt to collect the debt.* GentleGiant: Hoss Cartwright.* GhostTown: A literal one, in one episode.* GorgeousPeriodDress: Frequently, and [[LimitedWardrobe often turns out to be the same dress]].* GreenAesop: Quite frequently. The Cartwrights took their stewardship of their land seriously, refusing to allow activities that were not sustainable (such as over-logging) and it was shown in multiple episodes that whenever they did cut down a tree, they planted a new one to replace it.* HangoverSensitivy: Little Joe in "The First Born" after he and Clay get drunk off pulque.* HenpeckedHusband: Enos Milford in "The Hayburner".* HighHeelFaceTurn: Lotta Crabtree, a young actress from the first episode. Though she wasn't really evil to begin with, she was originally hired by a gang of crooks into seducing Little Joe so they can take the Cartwright property for themselves. However her feelings for him were genuine. This causes her to feel guilt and remorse for her role in the plot, and is even willing to go against her employers in order to help Joe escape. She is later seen at the end attending a dance with him and enjoying herself.* HistoricalInJoke: A few. The Cartwrights were directly involved with the invention of the honeycomb timbering for silver mines and the water pumping windmill, for example.** In an early episode, gold prospectors were complaining about the blue clay that was gumming up their equipment -- it was never revealed in-story that it was silver ore.** Real life historical figures from the West - like Mark Twain, Albert Michelson, and Emperor Norton - would make guest appearances.*** Chronology their presence in the show is reasonably accurate historically. Twain's first appearance coincides with the time he was working as a newspaperman in Virginia City, Nevada. Michelson is shown as a young Jewish schoolboy from Germany in the same town, subject to antisemitism, which he was in real life. Michelson gets an extra coda showing what he did in real life.* HollywoodHealing: Considering the number of times Little Joe was shot/stabbed/trampled by horses/otherwise injured over the course of the series, it's amazing his body was still functional. And let's not even talk about how none of those injuries so much as even left a scar.%%* HorsebackHeroism* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: "The Hunter," the final episode of the series.* ImprovisedWeapon: Little Joe fencing with an umbrella in "A Rose for Lotta".* {{Instrumental Theme Tune}}: An absolute classic example of this trope.* ItWillNeverCatchOn: The motorized car in "The Infernal Machine".%%* JustAFleshWound* TheLadette: Calamity Jane.* LimitedWardrobe: From about the third season onward, the main characters wore the same costume in just about every episode. This was done to cut the cost of re-filming action shots (such as riding clips in-between scenes), as previously-shot stock footage could be reused.* LongLostUncleAesop: Many episodes.* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Visitors to Virginia City from the east are frequently these.* Creator/MarkTwain: Appears in the first season to write for the Territorial Enterprise.* MissingMom: Not just one would do, as all three of Ben's wives died not long after giving birth to each son.* MonkeyMoralityPose: Hoss, Joe, and Adam pull this pose in "Ponderosa Matador".* MountainMan: Jim Leyton.* NeverGoingBackToPrison: Hoss once took in a prison escapee who was obsessed with never going back.* NeverLearnedToRead: Child, in the episode "Child," was illiterate. Sadly, this means [[spoiler:he went a long time not knowing what his name was (and going by "Child" because that's what everyone called him) until Hoss read the inscription in his Bible]].* NonIdleRich: The Cartwrights are the wealthiest people in Virginia City, but they're frequently seen doing menial labor around the ranch.* NotSoFakePropWeapon: In one episode Hoss get framed for murder when the blank rounds from a prop gun get switched for real bullets and the blanks turn up in his saddle bag. ** During a friendly fencing match, the button covering the point comes off and Joe is very nearly stabbed.* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Candy's given name is never revealed.** Additionally, Hoss is very seldom referred to as "Eric".* {{Outlaw}}: Plenty make appearances throughout the series.* OverprotectiveDad: An occasional one who often causes more pain for their children than they protect them from. Not Ben Cartwright, though he is a PapaWolf who'll do any for his sons.* PapaWolf: Ben Cartwright, especially toward Little Joe.* ThePatriarch: Ben Cartwright. * PonyExpressRider: Little Joe becomes one in "Ride the Wind".* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: "Sam Hill" starring Claude Akins, a blacksmith who reunites with his long lost father. It was intended to jumpstart a spinoff series but it never materialized.** Also "The Avenger," though not as overt as "Sam Hill" was. * {{Posse}}: All the main characters have been in one at some point.* PrettyBoy: Little Joe.* PrimAndProperBun: Amanda in "Ponderosa Birdman" wears her hair "like a schoolmarm."* ProWrestlingEpisode: "Old Sheba".* PuddleCoveringChivalry: Attempted in "The Wooing of Abigail Jones". It does not work out as planned.* [[PutOnABus Put On A Stagecoach]]: When Pernell Roberts left the show, his character Adam was said to have moved to Australia, and then almost never mentioned again.* RaceLift: The real Virginia City was a popular destination for freedmen escaping the South, especially during the time the show was set. Yet few blacks were ever shown on ''Bonanza'', even as walk-ons. Pernell Roberts said he left the show in part specifically because of the RaceLift.* {{Rancher}}: The Cartwrights and all the cowboys on the Ponderosa.* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Dan Blocker's death in the last season.* ReallyGetsAround: Little Joe is either seen or mentioned to be involved with upwards of ''fifty'' women over the course of the show, and his reputation as a reckless ladies man gets him into trouble quite a bit in the earlier seasons.* RearrangeTheSong: The driving, rock-oriented version of the theme song heard in later seasons.* RecycledSoundtrack: Unusually for the time, averted - every episode had an original score (mostly by David Rose, although his scores tended to avoid the theme song by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans). Combined with it being filmed in color from first show to last (a rarity for a series which began in 1959 [[note]]The show was one of the first network series to be filmed and broadcast in color; ''Ford Theatre'' (also on NBC) was the very first one back in 1954. Some syndicated shows (e.g. ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', ''Series/TheCiscoKid'') were filmed in color and broadcast as such by the stations that could, while most other network color shows were done live and preserved in black-and-white (although some were lucky enough to be preserved on color kinescopes or, starting in 1958, color videotape).[[/note]]), it must have cost NBC a fortune. Safe to say they've made their money back now, however.* RememberTheNewGuy / NewNeighboursAsThePlotDemands: Marriette Blaine is like a sister to them! Why haven't we seen her before?* ReplacedTheThemeTune: Yes, it happened; creator/executive producer David Dortort, who never much liked the Livingston-Evans theme song thanks to its lyrics (which is why they were never heard on the show), asked his composer of choice David Rose to write a new theme - it was used for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mto4YU_1WxE seasons 12]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhFw-PRTDaU and 13]] before viewer demand led to the first song coming back for the final season.* RunningGag: Several...** Little Joe just can't seem to keep his feet off the table.** Hoss often can't remember which word he's looking for, and will look to Joe for help. *** Once happens while the two characters are debating; Little Joe provides Hoss with the word he's looking for, then they jump right back into the debate.** A lot of people seem to think "Candy" is a funny name. He doesn't seem to mind.** In the episode "The Flapjack Contest" poor Little Joe just cannot stop breaking windows.* ScareChord: Frequently used when a character pulls out a gun.* SerialRomeo: All the Cartwrights have a tendency to consider the girl of the week to be the love of their life.* TheSheriff: Roy Coffee.* ShirtlessScene: All the Cartwright men and Candy get their fair share.* ShotAtDawn: Narrowly avoided in "Alias Joe Cartwright".* ShotInTheAss: Little Joe gets shot "right in the middle of the Ponderosa."* ShoutOut: Music/FrankZappa covered the theme from this show on his album ''Music/TheBestBandYouHeardInYourLife'' (1988).* SingleTear: Michael Landon excelled at these, so it's really no surprise that Little Joe favors this method of showing emotion.* TheStoic: Adam, usually.* StoutStrength: Hoss.* StarCrossedLovers: Little Joe and Amy Bishop, naturally, as the episode was intended as a bit of a Romeo and Juliet retelling.* StrawVulcan: Gerald Eskith, from the episode ''Badge Without Honor'', talks a lot about how emotions are the cause of most problems. [[spoiler: In his dying moments, he laments that he was defeated by emotion]].* SyndicationTitle: ''Ponderosa''.* TemporaryBlindness: Joe in "The Stillness Within".** Tessa Caldwell in "Bullet for a Bride".* TemporaryLoveInterest: Virtually every woman the Cartwrights came in contact with, usually because they would die by the end of the episode.* WallOfWeapons: A literal wall in the Ponderosa living room with a dozen or so guns lined on it.%%* TheWestern* WesternCharacters: Used virtually all of them at one time or another.* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Little Joe is terrified of heights.%%* TheWildWest* TheWorfEffect: Joe is subjected to this when Gerald Eskith wins a fencing match against him.* WorldsStrongestMan: Hercules in "The Abduction".* YouKilledMyFather: The driving motivation in "The Legacy".----

I Love Linux
Apr 15th 2011 at 3:36 AM
I had an old 2002 ASUS laptop that had nearly expired from Microsoft overload just gathering dust.
I installed Linux Mint and it is faster than my modern laptop using Windows 7. It also has the advantage that Linux viruses are very rare, unlike Windows viruses which multiply daily.
It is so fast now and multitabbed browsing is a dream.
So if you have an old machine, you like surfing but can't afford a new one install Linux Mint and see the difference! I love Linux so much that I now have it dual booting on my 2011 laptop alongside Windows 7

Hey Dr. Kelp you're not the only one; I bought a nice Toshiba laptop that supposedly had Windows XP black already installed; only to find that it was a pirated version. Windows has its own little bug in this one; Where if you didn't buy it yourself it will not function! I was left without an operating system. So I switched to Linux UBUNTU and found that you can do everything with it that you can do with WINDOWS; except that Linux is free of CHARGE!....get that!...and simultaneously as you mention....{("""NO VIRUSES""")}...nathan services inc

Blaise: Stepping In
I watched from the roof above as the man named Kane jabbered a series of inane orders at the girl I presumed to be Sonia. I raised an eyebrow and smirked, he really was rather amusing. If he didn't have a meltdown in the next five minutes I would officially have to call him the wierdest human ever. The meltdown would tell me he was not human.
None the less, I watched as he turned back to the window and glared up at it. I sighed and scrambled down the side of the roof, using the metal fire escape for a ladder. I landed lightly on my feet beside Sonia, grinning fiendishly at the look of alarm on her face when I stepped out of the shadows. I pulled a match out of my pocket and lit it, twirling the flame between my fingers and watching Sonia's face as she gaped at me.
"Hallo there," I said nonchalantly, "Looking for somewhere to hide?"
The semi-bionic man wheeled on me, I raised my hands, fire still twisting through my fingers and widened my eyes, grinning.
"Don't shoot me!" I said, feigning terror, "I swear I won't do anything! Name's Blaise, and if you want somewhere to hide I think I can help. Trust me?"
The man glared at me, obviously thinking me mad. Well, who would trust a mangy-looking seventeen year old boy with freaky orange-red eyes and white hair that blatantly refuses to obey the laws of gravity. Oh, and when he has fire wiggling up and down his arm like some tame animal.
This is gonna be awkward...

Dwyane Wade Reacts After Watching Gabrielle Union Sex Scene [Photo]
For those that missed Being Mary Jane on BET last night, Gabrielle Union had a hot sex scene in the shower of the show that showed a lot more skin than any of us expected (and had our jaws dropped.)
We all wondered shortly after the show, what Dwyane Wade thought about his fiance's scene.
Our questions are now all answered as he reacted on his Instagram page for all of us to see.
Would you have the same reaction? Let us know!
If you missed the scene and the rest of the show, don't worry we have you covered here.

Caged Sunflower
I pray that as an adult I will not look back on my teenage years with scepticism. I need so badly to be vindicated; to take to heart the emotional intensity and sugar-rush dreams. I hope that I'm still mad at society and love pizza too much and get worked up over sub-cultures and cut sutures and sunk futures and find meaning in places where it ought not to be, in the gasps and hitches of breath in certain songs — oh god, let me not regret this; please don't make me change.

Five Tips for Thanksgiving Travel
September 28th, 2016
1. Tires: Ensure tire pressure is properly serviced and maintained for both lengthy travels and everyday driving. Underinflation of tires can cause unnecessary wear and hardship to tire tread, causing tire failure or malfunctions. If not properly inflated, fuel economy can be severely decreased, causing drivers to lose about .6 miles per gallon due to improper tire conditions. Whether over or under inflated, tires can easily lose traction that could lead to an accident if not addressed. Service tires before Thanksgiving travel this holiday season to avoid unnecessary accidents, injury or inconvenience.
2. Headlights: Maintaining proper safety and visibility is imperative for winter driving conditions as travelers often drive in less t ...[more]

During the
holiday season, people all over the United States look for ways to give back to
their community or donate to a favorite charity. Several charities partner with
workplaces to offer employees an opportunity to make a pledge. One campaign
that has been highly effective in helping charities raise workplace donations is
the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
Managed and
overseen by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the CFC is
considered one of the world's largest and most successful annual workplace
charity campaigns. The OPM is
responsible for ensuring the campaign is administered properly and efficiently,
and that it meets all federal regulations and requirements.
The CFC's
mission is to promote and support philanthropy and help federal employees make
contributions that improve the quality of life for all. Through the CFC, federal
workers contribute millions of dollars each year during the campaign period
which commences on September 1 and ends on December 15.
Created in
1961, the CFC has raised over $7 billion for charities designated by federal
employees. Federal civilian, postal, and military donors are able to support
eligible nonprofit organizations that provide health and human service benefits
throughout the world.
A list of
eligible and approved charities is provided to federal agencies so that
employees can donate and help improve the quality of life of others. Federal
employee donors interested in more information about a CFC campaign can visit
the OPM's campaign locater where they can request a CFC Charity
List, pledge form, access a local CFC website, or request a tax receipt. Additional
information can also be found at http://www.opm.gov/cfc/. The OPM website offers a great
amount of information about how the U.S. federal government is striving to become
"America's Model Employer for the 21st Century." Public administration students or anyone interested in
government careers can explore the OPM website for useful information.

Is there a viler, more offensive attack on American ideals than a game not getting a North American release? No. No, there's not. One such atrocity involved the release of Terranigma.
Terranigma is the superior sequel to Illusion of Gaia which is the inferior sequel to Soul Blazer. It is also one of the pinnacles of SNES gaming and for too long wallowed in obscurity. One of the most important elements of a quality RPG is the feeling of having a meaningful impact on the world you're a part of. Terranigma (like Soul Blazer) takes that very literally. The world doesn't really exist until your actions create it. More than it's predecessor, Terranigma has an epic scale of scope and incorporates interesting elements of choice.
It is decidedly an action RPG and gameplay is somewhere between Secret of Mana and Zelda. You're given a number of combat moves and puzzles to solve. The addition of deeper RPG elements make it a richer experience than Illusion of Gaia while still keeping the light, action oriented gameplay. What truly sets it apart is the unique world building element and in many cases a familiar world with amusing historical references.
Released in the twilight of the SNES cycle, its graphics and sound make full use of the hardware. Mode 7 gets a workout. Sprites are colorful and detailed. The music score is a beautiful, varied epic (eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcPS2BQ9EHA&feature=relmfu ). Easily one of the best SNES scores not created by Uematsu. Quintet had a glorious run on the SNES. Along with the Soul Blazer trilogy, they're also responsible for the legendary Actraiser and fun Robotrek. Terranigma is probably their most complete game and a fine example of their inventiveness. It's a game about creation, more than destruction. As the lead character Ark, you are essentially bringing the world back to life.
There is not an era in gaming history I love more than the SNES' RPG golden age. Terranigma earns its place in that rarified air and sits among the very best.

Practice Area: Criminal defense
Outcome: Case Dismissed after Motion to Suppress Granted
Description: The defendant was stopped for speeding. The officer claimed to smell an odor of burnt marijuana in the vehicle. The defendant and his passenger were detained and a subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in a charge of possession of marihuana against the defendant. A Motion to Suppress Evidence argued that, although the odor of burnt marijuana gave the officer probable cause to search the vehicle, the detention and subsequent search exceeded the scope and time permissible under the law. The Motion to Suppress was granted, excluding the evidence, and the case was dismissed.

Spring: Burning
Part 4 - Burning
Turning the radio on, we waited nervously while looking around the hallway. Lucas was reaching into his backpack and pulled out a Zippo and a pressurized bottle with some handy-crafted napalm we made the last time we were in Philly. We did not have a flame thrower any more, but we had learned a lot of other things could be used in a pinch. During the Spring and Fall, fire was an ally you didn't turn away. During the Summer, that was a whole different issue.
"This is Special Agent Davis..." he began as before.
"Save your battery, Agent, my name is Elwood King and we are on our way to you. But we need your secure room. And all things being equal we would prefer you meet us halfway."
"The trees have expended their supply of fire ants but if you have been there two days, they are about to be releasing a new set. I think there are other people still alive in here, but I am here for you and Madame President, nothing else."
"Mister Elwood, that works for us. We are in Gamma quadrant 326 and are on our way to you. We have less than sixty seconds of hot wax remaining."
"Move it, Agent, we are along the main vein of that corridor less than a quarter mile from your position. We have a path cleared to the exit, do we need to meet you?"
"On a good day, I would say no. The last week says, 'Hell yes.'"
"How is your battery power?" I wasn't worried about ours, we had just recharged on the Rhino.
"I would like to have more, but in light of how things are at the moment, would you be opposed to hearing our comms while we move?"
"Not at all, Agent Davis. We are on our way to you. Don't know what you should expect when you open the door, but I would suggest a quick application of hot wax before you go to far. If it seems clear, run like hell. We will be coming as quickly as we can."
"Clear. On our way."
My daughter looked at me like I was crazy. "Are we really going to go deeper?"
"No. I am going deeper. You three are going to stay here and secure our exit. No arguing."
Lucas walked over to me and handed me the Zippo and napalm. "I have another one in Sarah's bag. We will set up a fire cordon if anything starts coming toward us."
"No heroics, dad."
"Me? You know I am too old to be heroic." I hug my daughter briefly and she gently headbutts me. A private joke, from when she was a little girl who wanted to be tough like action heroes from television. In her way, she was tougher than anything old media could have imagined. They never had to contest with the likes of the Arrivals. "Same goes for you. If they get to be too much, get out of here and call for a pickup. You have a better chance of fighting your way out of here even if Tumblers are out there than you do staying in here without support. Back in a flash."
And just like that we were separated. And to be honest, I preferred it that way. This was stupid and I let my pride get me in too deep. So if something was going to happen it was better if it just happened to me.
"--Whoosh, Whoosh." I could hear the flamethrower over the radio. " We are clear of the safe room and no Arrivals are visible. Proceeding. Stay close, Madam President."
I turned the radio down to a bare whisper. I figured if they got in deep, their screams would soon be audible. I pass some skeletal remains and a few weapons but most were without straps so I was not going to be bothered unless it was something I couldn't live without. The damn fire ants carry away anything organic, even the clothing. They do not seem to care for the hardest bone material so you will see the occasional skull or hip bone lying next to a weapon. I stop to check a clip or two hoping to find some incendiary rounds or something useful, but regular 5.56, rounds, common to the M16, we are not lacking at the moment.
It was hot, and I was nervously moving as quickly as I dared down the corridor. I was sweating and the zippo was slick in my hand. Which makes my next mistake expected and completely avoidable, but I was tired and wound tight. The corridor winds around in a circle and the corridor ahead of me was partially out of line of sight. It was also poorly lit and my shoulder lamp was a poor substitute in this darkened part of the building. I heard something but my mind wasn't firing on all cylinders and by the time I realized what it was, I was too close to back away. I heard skitttering sounds and the ripping sounds of cloth being torn. As I panned my light over toward the noise I realized the area wasn't quite empty.
A group of fire ants were tearing into what looked like someone who had made the poor decision to open a door without the benefit of a flamethrower. It was a pile of still quivering flesh, alive but without the means to speak. The poor bastard's tongue was being carried away, while blood spewed from its moaning mouth. They were brutal, and terrifyingly fast. After two minutes, the person stopped twitching and they continued with their grisly task. Blind, they did not see my light. I tried to back up, slowly, carefully.
Skzzzz. "Mr. King, we are making good time, where are you?"
Damn. Forgot I left the radio on. "Busy, about to be eaten, call you back." Or not. I sprayed our home-made napalm, a mixture of gasoline and laundry detergent out in front of me as the wave began to move away from their primary meal. A tiny contingent stayed to continue their work, but the bulk of them began turning their long and frilly antenna toward me.
Like radar dishes, they waved back and forth and I knew they could see my heat and hear my heartbeat. You don't want to know how we learned this. When the napalm hit the ground, they stopped. The strong odor would give their extraordinary sense of smell a kick in the head, so I was quite liberal with it. I got a bit of distance and laid down a lighting path and as I stopped to use the Zippo, it slipped from my grip and vanished into the rubble beneath my feet.
I stooped and scrambled around trying to find it. Flicking my light from the ground to the fire ants, they had already reached the napalm and had hesitated for fifteen seconds. Then the first wave started across. They died when they touched it, their nervous systems overcome. But they kept coming using the bodies of the first ones as a bridge and they kept dying. And kept coming. This group appeared to have at least ten thousand members, plenty enough to cross that patch and have plenty to spare. They could eat me with less than five hundred.
Digging around in the pile of debris, I cut my hand on a sharp piece of debris, a deep cut, think I nicked a vein. I found the lighter but the blood stirred the fire ants to a greater effort. They were swarming over the napalm and I dropped the canister to hunt for the lighter. Striking the zippo I threw it into the napalm and ran for the remaining canister. A large number had already clear the napalm but at least half were still on the other side as the Zippo landed. It was the half on my side which were the problem.
The fire, and likely the smoke caused momentary disorientation and the swarm milled menacingly close, less than fifteen feet separated us. Much closer to dying than I was comfortable being. I grabbed the canister off the ground and arced a stream of napalm into the fire. The sound of the napalm spraying galvanized them into motion. I lit the stream of napalm and waved it like a wand of fire as the swarm began to leap toward me.
I wasn't going to make it.
I kept spraying until the can was empty. The last thousand or so, who were not on fire or about to be, reoriented and swarmed toward me. Suddenly they stopped moving. Their antenna waved randomly and they began running in all directions. The princess! Someone must have gotten her. Then the distinctive sound of a flame thrower ripped through the air near me and I turned and ran as the area I was standing in was now completely aflame.
She came walking through the fire, a demon with fiery wings behind her, in a skintight, body armor, holding a flame-thrower like she was born to it. A Chinese face, with hard eyes, an uncompromising mouth and a look of fierce determination. "Mr. King, I presume?"
"Madam President? Where are your..."
"They didn't make it. Now let's get the hell out of here." She helped me to my feet and applied a liberal doze of flamethrower behind her before she got out in front of me.
"Yes, ma'am." She lead the way.
"Keep up. This thing's empty."

Toronto voters to replace disgraced mayor; but his brother is in the race
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - Toronto voters were set to replace their notorious mayor, Rob Ford, in Monday's election after Ford dropped out of the race in September after being diagnosed with cancer, but his elder brother still has a shot at the city's top job.
Ford, who made global headlines last year when he admitted to using crack cocaine while in office, threw his support to his brother Doug Ford, a city councillor, who took his place on the mayoral ballot.
Rob Ford, who entered a rehab program earlier this year, will run for city councillor in his brother's west Toronto ward, a stronghold for the close-knit political family with a base of supporters dubbed "Ford Nation".
Results of the mayoral election are expected shortly after polls close at 8 p.m. EDT.
"I'm hoping Doug Ford will not win," said voter Heather Bean, 39, a freelance writer and mother of two, after casting her ballot in east Toronto.
"My problem is not that Rob Ford is a crack addict, I had problems with him before that ... I don't think they (the Fords) have the best interest of the city at heart."
A final opinion poll released before election day showed conservative front-runner John Tory with a 12-point lead over Doug Ford, who has run on his brother's populist platform of keeping taxes low and stopping waste at city hall.
The Forum Research poll showed Tory, a former Ontario provincial politician and business executive, with 44 percent support, Doug Ford with 32 percent, and left-leaning Olivia Chow, a former federal politician, in third place with 21 percent support. Continued...

Tick away
The hands of time...
Somewhere in the distance I can hear the slow, rhythm. The thud, one after one after one, uniform sound, never changing or skipping. The tick ...tock...tick...tock...tick ...tock. That clock a constant reminder of time spent, time wasted and time gone by.
I lay in the darkness. Eyes wide open, I lay silently. My breathing in sync with that lazy clock. Every beat, every dull note reminding me that I am not yet alseep, yet it is the upmost thought it my mind and the lone desire I hold deeply right now. I ache to sleep, I'm tired.
If I were to stop the tick, I could hold time in my hands, turn it back and maybe... maybe things could be different.

Thurs. 23/08 cont.Mature
Kenny teleported to the apartment, still shaking. He felt numb inside and completely and utterly lost. Jen no longer loved him.
Svetlana was waiting up for him, sitting on the sofa, sipping a mug of hot chocolate.
"How'd it go, Kenner?" she asked.
"It went into Jen," he choked. "Jen doesn't love me anymore." He leaned his bow and quiver against the back of the sofa, drifted to the armchair and collapsed into it. He felt like he was on the verge of shattering into pieces.
"What?!" Svetlana exclaimed, shocked. "What happened?"
Kenny's voice was barely a whisper as he summarised what had happened with a brevity that utterly belied the pain he was suffering at this moment: "Jen woke up when I was there. She made me not fire the arrow at her sister by kissing me. We went to her room to keep kissing and somehow the arrow went into her own heart. I used my magic but it didn't work. I managed to break the heart of the girl I love."
"Oh Kenner," Svetlana whispered. She put her drink down, stood up and came over to him. She sat on his lap and hugged him tightly. "I'm so, so sorry."
"I was ready to give it all up," Kenny whispered. "The mission, my obligation to try to stop Chaos. I just wanted to love her. I didn't care about anything else. And now there's no chance we'll be together. Ever. I... What do I do, 'Lana?"
"I don't know, Kenner," Svetlana said quietly. "But ... but don't you realise you'd have been punished? How high a Chaos level registered?"
"It was 6.8 at one point, but I didn't care. I knew I couldn't leave. So I just stayed there and kissed her... until the arrow went into her."
"Oh Kenner..."
Kenner stared across the room without seeing anything. His mind was full of the memory of the moments after Jennifer had woken up. How could this have happened? How could Jen not love him anymore? What stung the most was that she had ceased to love him so shortly after she had done that wondrous thing - kissed him to stop him firing the Heartbreak Arrow at Susanna. After such ecstasy, such bliss, which had been strong enough to make him stop caring about the mission, about Order, altogether, he was suffering the worst pain, living out a dreadful nightmare. How was he still functioning after falling from such dizzying heights?
Actually, that wasn't what stung the most. No, what truly stung the most was that it was Kenner himself who had done this. Kenner was the one who had been holding the Heartbreak Arrow when it had gone into her. He had no recollection of moving the arrow even slightly - he had thought he was holding it firmly and that he loved Jen too much to be anything but careful holding such a dangerous instrument. How he wished he had dropped it when she had kissed him! It was almost too much to bear: the lover being the destroyer of the love.
"I don't know if I can ever get over this," he quietly confessed to Svetlana.
"Kenner," Svetlana said, her tone one of anguish. "Don't say that. I know that this must be terrible for you but you can't let it be the end of you. There are so many people who care about you - who'd be devastated if anything happened to you. Not just me: think of your family."
"I know," Kenner said miserably. He suddenly hugged Svetlana back and buried his face in her shoulder. "But I can't stand the thought that this was my fault."
"It wasn't," she insisted. "It was an accident. A truly terrible accident, but one that you shouldn't blame yourself for. Please, Kenner, don't let this rule your life."
Kenner felt the despair in Svetlana's voice and hugged her so tightly that she gasped in pain. He didn't want Svetlana to hurt. He didn't want anyone else to hurt. He would bear the weight of the world on his shoulders for breaking Jennifer's heart, but that task should fall to one person alone. Realising that he was hurting Svetlana now - physically - he eased his grip on her and, trying to be brave, told her "I'll try not to. You're a great friend, Svetlana, and I don't want to throw your friendship back in your face by not trying. But I think we both know that this is going to be so hard."
"Of course. It couldn't have been anything else," she whispered. "But I'm here for you, Kenner. I'll try to give you everything you need: support, time, space... Just don't give up." She stroked his back. "Don't you ever give up."
They sat like that till Svetlana started to go to sleep. Gently, Kenner woke her up and sent Svetlana into his bedroom. There, she changed into her pyjamas and then opened the door for him to come in. He slipped off his shoes and socks, and then joined her, still clothed, in the bed. Svetlana took his hand and squeezed it comfortingly before switching off the lamp on the bedside table. They slept next to each other like two young siblings, for that time blissfully unaware of even the notion of heartbreak, comforted by the knowledge that the other was close by if they should remember it.

"Donny. Where's Donny Stanbridge?" I yell at the receptionist. She jumps at my outburst but quickly turns to look hastily through papers.
"Are you a relative?" She pauses before telling me the room.
"Wife." I say.
"Ah yes. He's in surgery at the moment. He'll be out in a few hours." The woman read from the paper and clicked something on the computer in front of her.
"Hours?" I squeal.
"He was very badly injured. The doctors also found he was suffering from Graves disease." The woman doesn't look very interested in what she's saying.
"What's that? Graves disease?" I say, glancing around the white hospital.
"Its something to do with the Thyroid gland." I look at her confused.
"I don't know. All I know is that he's having surgery for that as well as the other injuries." She goes back to her computer.
"Whens he coming out of the OR?" I ask hurriedly.
"In the next few hours." She says it slowly and loudly.
"What room will he be in?"
"Lady, stop asking me questions! There is a reason I am not a doctor. I don't know any of the shit you want to know. I only know what I've been told." She holds up a hand to stop me from talking. "Now, you can go sit there. I shall tell you when he's out. Alright?"
I sit down on the chairs and worry about Donny. Tears start to fall.
"Hey. What's up?" I hear a cool voice above me. I look up.
"Leave me alone." I say.
"C'mon, babe." He says to me, sitting down.
"Seriously, get away from me now, Grady. I hate you." I don't look at him. I can't look at him.
"What are you doing here? Oh that's right, your husband went crazy." He laughs heartily and I shoot him a look of pure hate. He still looks the same from four years ago.
"I said, leave me alone. I never want to see you again." I mutter.
"You don't hate me, baby. You never could. No matter how much I... you know." He smiles evilly. I remember the times we spent together, me and Grady. It was a nightmare, but he wouldn't let me go.
"So, you fell for the depressed, suicidal type, huh?" He's still smiling at me.
I stand up and get a small piece of paper from the bag I had grabbed on the way out.
"Call this number when Donny gets out of the OR." I pass the receptionist the paper with my number on it and leave. I know I shouldn't leave but I have to, Grady could've killed me or worse. I don't know why I ever loved him. I think about how Donny almost committed suicide successfully.
Fresh tears break out.

Q:Let's say I happen to tow a small trailer with my 3000GT, will this radiator offer the same cooling efficiency as the factory radiator which was a cooper core design? I am sure the overall cooling meets OE specification, but how about the oil cooler itself?
2 answers
A:I'm happy to help, Bobby! This CARQUEST or ToughOne Radiator (Part No. 432431) will provide the same cooling efficiency or better than the original equipment for both the coolant and transmission fluid on the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT 3.0L V6. For towing, you may even consider adding an additional transmission cooler, such as B & M Cooler, Small Supercooler 9800 BTU Rating, Black (Part No. 70255) or B & M Cooler, Small Supercooler Polished Finish (Part No. 70265).
A:Happy to answer your question Bobby! This radiator and oil cooler will support up to the tow limits that would be posted on the sticker on the driver door. If you are exceeding this limit on a regular basis supplemental cooling may be necessary. This radiator meets or exceeds OEM spec along with the oil cooler.
Q:Does this radiator include the sensors?
1 answer
A:It has two sensor Fittings on Bottom Tank.

How to raise funds for school outdoor classrooms and shelters
We are all aware nowadays that funding in schools is tight with budgets being ever more tightly reigned in. But schools do still require products and buildings which promote outdoor learning in the playground (especially with the growing popularity of the forest schools initiative) so how is a school supposed to fund these items when budgets are going in the opposite direction?
At the Hideout House Company, we have built up many years of experience of working successfully with schools in helping them access the necessary funds to pay for our products and services so below is a precis of how your school best goes about this.

Italian salad ingredients are enhanced by this wonderful sweet red wine vinaigrette.
Hubs said it was the best salad he's ever had. I'm crediting the compliment to my home grown red leaf lettuce and home made Mozzarella.
We're finally starting to get some fresh produce here in Colorado, and some of that is even coming from the pots on my back patio. Usually these pots are filled with cascading petunias or bright impatiens, but this year I dedicated half of them to herbs, some of which I've never grown before.
I planted one pot to heirloom red leaf lettuce. To my surprise, it's "growing like a weed." Even in the hot, dry, windy conditions we've had this season.
My first harvest of the lettuce was used in this Italian Salad. Whole Foods had some beautiful yellow heirloom tomatoes, and the rest of the ingredients were things I had on hand…green olives, shaved Parmesan, toasted pine nuts. and some home made Mozzarella cheese that my friend Heather gave me. I tossed it with the Red Wine Vinaigrette that I had sweetened with honey. We thought it was a great salad.
Served with seared scallops that had been seasoned with Old Bay, with my favorite Pappas Brother's Remoulade Sauce for dipping. which I've blogged about before. A simple fresh meal.
I received the heirloom seeds from Azure Standard who believes in healthy, organic, naturally grown foods and they believe in supporting local organic farmers, and giving us the opportunity to provide healthier foods on our tables. I started the seeds indoors early Spring and that's where my beautiful lettuce came from, along with my pots of herbs. A book about Lasagna Gardening was included. Its theory just makes sense. Instead of digging in the dirt, build your own layers of "soil" using compost.
With all that said, here's the recipe for the Sweet Red Wine Vinaigrette. Fresh and perfect.
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 1/2 T . lemon juice
- 2 1/2 T . honey
- 2 t . salt
- 1/4 t . pepper
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix all well then put over Italian Salad: Torn greens, cubes of fresh Mozarella, toasted pine nuts, tomatoes, and green olives sliced in half. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Italian Salad with Sweet Red Wine Vinaigrette with Seared Scallops…It's What's for Dinner.

Providence Journal
Posted February 2, 2016
Providence - Less than 24 hours after being entrusted with more than $500 million in new revenue over the next five years, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation Friday started the process of creating 14 new management positions intended to transform the agency and reverse decades of self-described poor performance.
Some of the new positions, which include chief operating officer and administrator of a newly created Division of Project Management, replace old positions that have or are being eliminated.
The salaries of the new positions range from $82,378 - $93,347 for a project manager to $141,259 - $155,564 for the chief operating officer and project management administrator.
Using the low end of the salary ranges, the combined cost of the new positions total $1,346,767. Using the high end, the total cost comes out to $1,511,543.
A public hearing on the new positions is scheduled for Feb. 19 and, if all goes according to plan, the department can begin the hiring process Feb. 21.
In addition to the new proposed positions, DOT officials Friday announced that the agency has hired Celia J. Blue, a former senior advisor at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and CEO of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, as chief of staff. Blue starts work Feb. 22.
The new hires are part of a plan by current DOT leadership to move the agency toward a "project management" organizational model in which each construction project will have its own manager leading it from conception to completion.
"The concept we are implementing is a big improvement over what has been done here for years," said DOT Director Peter Alviti Jr. Friday. "It is a sea change."

Coast to Coast for Kids pushes toward East Coast
Confluence, Penn. looks a lot like Ironton. Crashing on limestone is painful. And 19 days of biking in hot and humid conditions is exhausting for out-of-shape men in their 40s.
Those are lessons Gary Walters and two of his children, Jackson and Jessica, are learning along their Coast to Coast for Kids bicycle trek across the nation. The trio has biked 1,180 miles. Their goal to raise money and mentors for Kinship Partners is taking them across 3,200 miles as they travel from Baxter to Washington, D.C. — fly to Seattle — and then bike the return trip from the Pacific Coast back to the Brainerd lakes area.
Jessica, 16, crashed a couple of days ago coming down a limestone trail on a former railroad bed. Gary Walters said they were traveling down a steeper decline at 18 mph when he saw a detour sign and hit the brakes. When Jessica followed suit and hit the brakes hard, she sprawled into a case of road rash.
Jessica crashed two days ago were coming down a limestone rail bed in a steeper decline 18 mph and detour sign I hit the brakes she hit the brakes hard and she sprawled and road rash.
Monday the trio took the day off. Gary Walters said his teenage children were fine but he was exhausted with the ups and downs of hills and miles of upgrade on the old railroad bed.
A rest stop in Pennsylvania next to a U-Haul rental office had them renting a Haul with a 10-foot cargo box for a short trip to go to get three bags of supplies. They couldn't imagine getting on the bikes again to make the run. Walters said just getting behind the wheel after so many days on a bike alone felt good.
"And it felt good to have air conditioning blowing on me," he said.
The hot and humid conditions added to the arduous effort as they've traveled cross country. Walters said if he was on his own, he would have thought making 1,000 miles was good enough.
"I wanted to quit if I wasn't doing this for Kinship I would have had a phone call to Mrs. Walters to come and get me," he said.
This is the ninth Kinship Partners challenge and Walters said it has been the most difficult because of the length and the heat. They've been biking into the wind the majority of days. "I think this is the one that's nuts. The first few days killed me."
But the heat has to break. And if he were to rethink it, he said going without a support vehicle wasn't the brightest idea. Although strangers have provided assistance and encouragement along the way from directions to water to bike fixes. Jackson had three flat tires in one hour. And Gary Walters took one fall after trying to multitask behind the wheel that put scratches on him and his handlebars and bent a brake. Two staff members at a bike shop in Connellsville, Penn. worked on the bike, charging just $15 for labor.
The trio, which has been averaging 60 miles a day, should reach the nation's capital Saturday. They'll fly out to the West Coast Tuesday. But one of the biggest concerns for Jackson and Jessica is the new experience of staying in a hostel Thursday, Walters said.
The Rocky Mountains are looming large as an obstacle.
"I'm terrified," Walters said. "I'm stressed already thinking about it."
