Brazilian (Civ6)
this wiki
The Brazilian people represent a civilization in Civilization VI. Their colors are emerald green and yellow, and they are led by Pedro II.
The Brazilians' unique components are the Street Carnival unique district as well as the Minas Geraes unique battleship. Many Brazilian Districts also receive bonuses for nearby Rainforests. They are the third confirmed civilization to return from Civilization V, after the Aztec and the Indian civilizations.
Brazil always starts near a Jungle, and so the Amazon ability will be the first to be useful, and remain useful throughout the game. At the start of the game, a Rainforest tile will give 2 Food and 1 Production, which is as good as any improved non-bonus non-luxury tile. Later in the game, the production of a rainforest pales in comparison to a Farm, and most civilizations will find that removing it in favor of farming it results in the better yield.
Brazil's Amazon, however, ensures that rainforest will be useful throughout the entire game, as long as you have built the appropriate districts adjacent to it. Since the adjacency bonus applies for each adjacent rainforest, it can be useful to build a single district in the middle of a circle of rainforest tiles, for maximum adjacency bonuses.
Furthermore, building Chichen Itza provides a massive bonus (+2 Culture, +1 Production) for all rainforest tiles in a city. Use this to turn a city in the middle of the jungle into a production and culture monster.
The Amazon ability has a hidden function, which in fact explains the bonus to Neighborhoods. Namely, Rainforests add Appeal for Brazil instead of deducting it! You can easily see this if you turn on the Appeal Lens in any game which contains Brazil as a player - their jungle regions will be full green (meaning Breathtaking Appeal), while everyone else's will be sadly gray, or even orange (Average or lower Appeal). This becomes very important towards the end of the game, if Brazil is pursuing a Cultural Victory, because it will aid placement of National Parks and Seaside Resorts.
No matter what type of playstyle you go for, Great People are always useful. Retaining 20% of the Great Person points means it will be faster to earn the next one. This is only useful if you're planning on recruiting several Great Persons of the same type, but that's the case more often than not. It's arguably less useful to recruit several Great Generals and Great Admirals in succession as their effect won't stack, and you are only able to recruit a single Great Prophet, but for any other type of Great Persons, the more, the better.
The Great Engineers and Great Merchants in particular are very versatile in their bonuses. The latter can provide bonuses to Tourism (Cultural Victory), free tactical resources (to build units for Domination Victory) and Envoys (useful for practically any victory type).
Street CarnivalEdit
The Street Carnival replaces the Entertainment Complex. It costs only half as much production, and allows the city to perform the Carnival City project. This project, unique to Brazil, produces Amenities, which are otherwise hard to obtain. Since Brazil has so easy access to amenities, they can afford to stay at war longer, ignore or trade off luxury resources, and avoid rebellions in their cities. The project also provides Great Engineer, Great Writer, Great Artist and Great Musician points.
Victory TypesEdit
While Great People are useful for any victory type, they are arguably the most important for a cultural victory. Science victory greatly benefits from Great Persons, making it another viable approach. While their Amazon ability may provide bonus Faith, they aren't as well suited for a religious victory as other civilizations. Finally, domination victory is not Brazil's strongest point.
Historical Context Edit
Paulo Coelho, Brazil's greatest novelist, wrote of his people, "They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny." Although the Brazilians enjoy the world's seventh largest (and still growing) economy, a diverse cultural stew, the continent's best standard of living, and one of the planet's greatest eco-systems, they are known by most as the "ultimate party animals." However justified that preconception might be today, Brazil's past has been anything but a Carnival. In fact, most of it has been downright grim.
When the Pope decided to divvy up the New World in the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494 AD, as it happened a bulge in South America fell on the eastern (Portuguese) side. It was the only thing that Portugal got out of the treaty, but it was a whopper. The land was claimed by Pedro Cabral in April 1500 when the fleet he was leading down the African coast and around the Cape of Good Hope was borne so far westward that he made landfall in South America by mistake. When he arrived, some 2000 native (termed "indios") tribes inhabited the coast and Amazon basin; semi-nomadic, these folk subsisted on hunting, fishing, migrant agricultural, tribal warfare and cannibalism. Since it was obvious the natives weren't going to do anything with the rich land and were certainly not "good Christians," the first Portugal immigrants began to stake claims in 1532.
The discovery of brazilwood – a dense, orange-red hardwood prized in dye-making and in the making of effete musical instruments and furniture – incited the Crown's interest; in 1534 King Dom Joao III encouraged more private colonial ventures. In 1549 the king appointed a governor-general and Brazil officially became a Portuguese colony. In wars with the French, the Portuguese slowly expanded their holdings to the north and south, taking Rio de Janeiro in 1567 and Sao Luis in 1615. In 1680 AD they claimed the lands around the Rio de la Plata, which became their southernmost territory. In the meantime, British and Dutch strongholds in the Amazon interior were overrun; as was the case throughout the Americas, the indios were either assimilated, enslaved, or exterminated.
The settling of Brazil was certainly a perilous affair. Tens of thousands of indios died from European diseases; thousands of Europeans died of native fevers. The interior was hot and humid, mostly jungle and swamp, broken by turgid rivers, where the slightest scratch could mean a lingering death. If one wasn't shot by contending colonists or eaten by the angry natives, much of the flora and fauna were poisonous or hungry, from mosquitos to caiman. Then there were the tales of giant snakes that could crush or fish that could strip the flesh from the bones to keep the pioneers on their toes – provided one had any after the foot rot. Nevertheless, the stubborn Portuguese kept pushing inland, establishing outposts and plantations along the riverbanks.
By the end of the 17th Century, Brazil was the largest and most important of Portugal's scattered colonies. Besides brazilwood, other major exports included sugarcane, dyes and spices. The Portuguese began their import of slaves from Africa to meet the growing international demand for these commodities; eventually Portugal would become one of the major slave-trading nations and slaves in Brazil would number in the hundreds of thousands. Why die in any number of unpleasant ways hacking a profit out of the jungle when someone else could do the work for mere centavos? Concurrently, prospectors sought in vain for gold in the jungles and hills of Brazil until extensive deposits were discovered in Minas Gerais. The subsequent gold rush brought such vast sums that the colonial capital was transferred from Salvador south to Rio de Janeiro in 1763 AD in order to help the government better get its cut.
Along the coast, port cities grew – Rio, Recife, Maceio, Fortaleza and others – to ship all this wealth out. They became the cultural centers of the colony, with churches, schools, concert halls, tabernas (taverns), houses of ill-repute, ladies-aid societies, and all the other trappings of civilization. Into these poured the hopeful from the old country. And then, in 1808 AD, the Portuguese royal family (led by Mad Maria) and its government ministers showed up in Rio de Janeiro since they had managed to lose their homeland to Napoleon Bonaparte. The prince regent Joao, ruling in the stead of his mother Maria I, who was incapacitated due to "mental illness," re-established the Portuguese capital in Rio and ruled the "empire" from there.
While in residence, he put in place all the ministries of a sovereign capital, as well as founding a royal library, a military academy, a royal mint, a printing office, and medical and law schools. In 1815, Joao declared Brazil a kingdom, co-equal with Portugal in the empire. Following the defeat of France, he wanted to remain in Brazil until called back to Portugal to deal with radical revolts. In April 1821, Joao appointed his son Pedro to the regency. Pedro's ministers, mostly Brazilian born, urged independence once the Portuguese army was gone; the young regent issued a declaration of independence for Brazil in September 1822 and was crowned Emperor Pedro I with unseemly haste. In 1825 the Portuguese government reluctantly (although there wasn't much they could do about the situation anyway) recognized Brazil's sovereignty, and within the year even the most stubborn European monarchs followed suit.
Pedro I sought to insure that Brazil did not suffer the discord and revolutions that were plaguing Brazil's unruly neighbors. To that end, he was the primary architect of a new constitution, one quite liberal and advanced … well, for its time. But Pedro was increasingly embroiled in affairs in Portugal, and in 1831 AD abdicated in favor of his five-year-old son so he could return there to reclaim the family throne. To fill the vacuum his abrupt departure left, Pedro's son was officially declared of age at 14 and crowned Emperor Pedro II within the year. The new emperor's five-decade reign was enlightened and progressive, and Brazil enjoyed a "golden age" in every realm – politically, economically, industrially, socially, culturally – becoming almost continental in its refinement and attitude. Under Pedro II, Brazil won three wars, expanded its international reputation, modernized, reformed its legal and monetary systems, boosted its agricultural diversity, and abolished slavery. But the latter had eroded support among the landed gentry; moreover, as he aged Pedro II increasingly lost touch with the new urban middle class and liberal student movements his ideals and policies had fostered. Although still beloved by his people, in November 1889 a bloodless military coup deposed Pedro in favor of a republic (which didn't last long). Ever a patriot, when he departed into exile, Pedro II expressed his "ardent wishes for the greatness and prosperity of Brazil."
For the next century, Brazil was governed by a series of dictators or military juntas, with an occasional fling at democracy that was soon ended by another ambitious general. In 1894 AD, amid general peace, General Peixoto reluctantly surrendered the presidency to the first civilian to hold the post, Prudente de Morais. He had been governor of the coffee-rich state of Sao Paulo, and has been deemed the first of the "coffee presidents." These presidents, primarily wealthy landowners from Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, reformed the economy, modernized the nation's infrastructure, kept the peace, and guided the nation through troubled international times through a policy of near isolationism. In doing so though they offered little real democracy because only the landowning minority was allowed to vote, fraudulent elections were common, and regional political bosses operated with virtual impunity so long as they supported the president in power.
Two developments finally ended the period of the coffee presidents. First, coffee prices fell precipitously during the worldwide depression of the 1930s, and without a lot of money it was tough to get elected to siphon off more. Second, a movement composed of junior officers (the tenentes) grew in influence. Espousing populism, the tenentes championed not democracy but reform and progress; they fervently believed that only the military could propel the nation into the modern age. To do so, the young officers planned to oust civilian politicians, expand the reach of the federal government, modernize the military, and eradicate regionalism through a strong, centralized government. The depression and general unrest led Getulio Vargas, a defeated presidential candidate, to seize control of Brazil with support of the tenentes.
Vargas was supposed to assume power temporarily for the duration of the economic crisis; instead he closed the Congress, dismissed the constitution, and replaced the Brazilian states' governors with his supporters, mostly military officers. Following a failed Communist coup in 1935 and a failed Fascist one in 1938, Vargas' regime evolved into a full dictatorship, noted for its brutality and censorship of the press. In 1964, yet another military coup toppled the government. Although its methods were harsh, the new junta was at least less brutal than those in other parts of the continent. Moreover, it promoted capitalism, modernization, and international accords, making it popular with the lower and middle classes even during the years of arrests, torture and executions without trial. General Ernesto Geisel assumed the presidency in 1974, and surprisingly launched a "slow, gradual and safe" policy of returning rule to a democratic government. Over several years he ended the torture of political prisoners, censorship of the press, and finally the junta itself. His successor continued the process, and in 1985 the first free elections made José Sarney president after health issues (and later death) prevented Tancredo Neves from taking office.

Lovers in the moonlight
The moonlit corridors of Hogwarts. What a perfect place for a little rendezvous… Everything belongs to Rowling
She slowly paced through the dark corridors, looking carefully around. She saw everything. Nothing could escape her. The air was still and there was no smell that shouldn't be there. Everything was peaceful. She was content. She preferred order, she despised irrationality. All in good time, all in good order.
The others that were patrolling the corridors were far away, on other floors, striding purposefully or walking nervously, together or in pairs. She walked alone. She knew these corridors as well as the inside of her head. They were her home and territory. Nothing happened here without her knowing it.
Suddenly she saw something move. She tensed and took a few, careful step forwards, all attention. There it was again. In a small doorway to the left. She approached it, calling out for whoever was out after the curfew. And she halted, staring.
A man was in the doorway, tall, muscular, ginger. He was smiling broadly at her, the moonlight reflecting in his eyes. He took a slow, delicate pace towards her and let his eyes follow her lines. She could feel something stir in her, something she had not felt for a long, long time. Again she asked what he was doing here, but she heard how shrill her voice was. He answered with a smirk that he was looking for someone just like her and she could feel herself blush. He was right before her and she could feel his smell. Intoxicating. Exotic. She stood as petrified. Deliberately slowly he reached out and nuzzled her nose with his.
She bent her head, away. Her thoughts racing. She did not want him. No that was a lie. She did want him, want him in every way, but she was so confused. It was so long ago. He was moving to fast for her. She said so, said that he was not welcome, that he should leave. He walked a few steps around her, not touching her, not taking his eyes of her. He would not harm her, he said. He would not do anything that she did not allow. Oh no. He playfully nibbled her right ear and she involuntary gasped. Why did she not want him he asked. Was he not handsome? Was he not worthy of her? He would prove himself stronger than any other man in the castle he challenged. And she believed him. She saw his muscles move. Tentatively she reached out and nuzzled his neck with her nose. Just briefly. Shyness came over her and she hid her face. But she felt him standing close, so close. And his smell was intoxicating.
He said that he would always love her, always care for her, always be there for her. Oh yes. He said that she was the prettiest, most beautiful girl in the world, that he had never, and would never meet her like. He nuzzled her nose with his, and she allowed it. Their eyes met and she saw herself reflected. The most beautiful girl in the world. He came up close and purred. All her thoughts melted away. He kissed her and her heart pounded. He said that he loved her and she answered, from the depth of her heart, the she loved him too.
They found them there about half an hour later in what would best be described as a delicate moment.
"What is that filthy creature doing to my dear Mrs Norris?" Filch the caretaker screamed. "Get him off her this instance!"
Hermione quickly dashed forward to try to grab her cat, but Crookshanks was not at all cooperative and both Hermione and Filch were severely scratched before they finally had separated the lovers. Mrs Norris ignored the care of her owner and looked longingly after the man of her life as he was carried away. He caught her eyes and promised that he would be ever faithful and she purred. She did not believe him, of course, knowing stray cats for what they are, but she knew she would savour this moment for a long time to come.

Let's Do This.
They moved out of the hills, like rats, scrambling through the shadows. From boulder to boulder, they crawled and ducked, avoiding the pinpricks of red from atop the Wall. Cuauhtémoc kept his eye on the boy and his mother as they stumbled through the grit, dodging scorpions and prickling cacti. He watched them carefully as they rolled beneath a crumbling hill to avoid the peering red light from above. Without warning, the earth beneath them emitted a loud SNAP as rocks and sand and bitter earth flew upwards, obscuring them from view.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Cuauhtémoc leapt forward and threw himself into the torrent of earth, managing to clutch the boy's hand as he tumbled through. As the earth settled they saw nothing left of his mother but a patch of blood-soaked earth.
Cuauhtémoc placed his hand tightly over the boy's mouth, and he bit down, trying to scream. The system didn't know what it had caught- it might have been a coyote or a roadrunner. The alarms hadn't gone off- yet.
At least it wasn't a Spider, he thought pathetically as the boy drew blood on his fingers. Clutching him to his chest, Cuauhtémoc ran towards the specified section of wall. All sorts of rubble was piled up against it, and Cuauhtémoc identified the spray-painted cross over it. He ran, hard, feeling sweat and blood mingling and mixing until he couldn't run, because he was falling...

Dyeing Easter Eggs Naturally
Happy Healthy Holidays!
Instead of coloring your Easter eggs the same color you've seen year after year, do something more unique dating from the medieval kitchen.
Naturally dyed eggs are so elegant they can grace the table at an adult dinner party, but it's the kids who most enjoy a project like this. Parents can preboil the eggs and let children experiment with bowls of cold dyes.
Dyeing Techniques
The cold-dipping method creates subtle, translucent shades, but may result in uneven coloring unless the eggs are rotated vigilantly. For the cold-dipping, the eggs and ingredients are boiled separately. After the dye has cooled and been strained, immerse the eggs for five to ten minutes and pat dry with a paper towel.
The boiling technique involves boiling the eggs in the dye; as the egg heats and rolls in the boiling water, a more uniform and intense color is produced. To dye eight eggs with the boiling technique, use two tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water. Place eggs in pot and cover with 1-inch of water. Add natural dye ingredients, bring to a rolling boil, and reduce to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
*Note: Natural dyes create beautiful effects, but may not be suitable for eating. Use for decoration only.

Rangers send Penguins packing with Game Seven win
(The Sports Xchange) - Henrik Lundqvist turned away 35 shots and Brad Richards scored the game-winning goal on a power play as the New York Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in the decisive Game Seven of their Eastern Conference semi-final series on Tuesday.
The Rangers rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to advance to the Eastern Conference final, where they will meet either the Boston Bruins or Montreal Canadiens.
It was first time in 17 attempts New York have been able to come back in a series after trailing 3-1.
The Rangers will be making their second appearance in the conference finals in three years. They lost to the New Jersey Devils in 2011-12 in six games.
"What a feeling," Rangers' goaltender Lundqvist said.
"We battled so hard as a team the last three games. After losing that fourth game it was tough.
"When you face a challenge like that it's about how you answer and we just did it the right way. We came together as a group and played a really smart game."
Lundqvist showed his Game Seven magic again, raising his career record to 5-1 in those situations. He stopped a combined 102 of 105 shots in winning the final three games of the series.
"I thought in the first two periods, he played a real strong game when they had more shots," New York coach Alain Vigneault said. Continued...

Young and Growing
Three years ago, Judy Elliott of Denver Urban Gardens was leading kids at Fairview Elementary School in a nutrition gardening program when a class of fifth-graders looked at the tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, chiles, onions and peppers growing under lights in their classroom and decided they wanted to do more. Outside of one corner store, their community the Sun Valley Neighborhood had no source of fresh produce. "They devised the idea of creating a small farmers' market," says Elliott, aka Jungle Judy.
In its third year, Elliott says, the market now one of three Denver Youth Farmers' Markets has become a gathering place for a very diverse neighborhood, with families from Ethiopia, Somalia, Mexico, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Vietnam and Cambodia. "It's a safe place for people to walk in a community that doesn't have much in the way of green space," Elliott says. It's also open to craft vendors and other local farmers who wish to sell their products.
Still, it's kids nine through fourteen who grow the majority of the produce and man the tables at the market. "We're pretty proud of the kids taking ownership," Elliott says. "Kids are really like gardens. Plant an idea and they'll outshine and out-produce."
The market takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays through September 30, at 2715 West 11th Avenue.
Sundays, 1-4 p.m. Starts: July 6. Continues through Sept. 30, 2008

DTE Energy sought an engineering alliance partner to efficiently and effectively deliver its Belle River Mills (BRM) Compressor Station Mechanical Drawing As-Built Legacy Program, meeting their delivery deadlines for confirming and updating existing mechanical drawings to reflect current conditions. SSOE was engaged as the partner of choice for this program, having successfully demonstrated its proposed project team's ability to provide top quality deliverables, while thinking outside the box to maximize value for the client.

On April 16, 2013, a Silicon Valley power substation was attacked by a sniper. Shots were fired into the radiators and conservators of 17 transformers, causing the equipment to leak 52,000 gallons of oil, disabling the yard and interrupting service to customers. Prior to this attack, communication lines were deliberately severed near the site to delay local law enforcement's response time. As a result, $15.4 million in damages were reported by the utility company, with 27 days spent repairing the substation to bring it back online.

When American Snuff wanted to convert a recently purchased facility into new processing facilities, SSOE had the EPCM expertise needed to lead the project. With the goal to increase capacity and achieve FDA compliance, a new requirement for its product, SSOE proved key to renovating and expanding the site, largely due to its expertise serving FDA regulated industries and renovating brownfields.

As a result of a major utility power failure, due to a lightning strike, the main data center for a large regional healthcare system lost all normal and emergency back-up power. This failure affected all operations in every related facility within the organization. The failure also caused damage to the Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) system. SSOE was on-site late that evening and through the weekend, assisting in returning power to the critical systems. During the course of the evening, the emergency generator also failed, requiring the rental of a large trailer-mounted diesel generator.
In an effort to improve safety and communication at their Lima Refinery, Husky embarked on a plan to relocate all non-essential personnel away from blast risk zones to a centralized location outside the battery limits of the production facility. They called upon SSOE's extensive refinery expertise and familiarity with blast resistant structures to design their new control building. SSOE provided full architecture and engineering for the 250,000 SF, two-story structure, which consists of a central control room, laboratory, warehouse, maintenance shops, vehicle repair center, and unit personnel housing.
Dover Light & Power, with whom SSOE has a 20+ year relationship, called upon our firm to design a fiber optic backbone loop around the City of Dover, Ohio. The fiber optic cable used was a multimode type, with the loop consisting of 48 and 96 stranded fiber cable. The fiber optic loop is approximately 10 miles in length.
Having previously provided master planning and design services for three of Honda's U.S. facilities, SSOE was called upon again to rework its security measures at the three campuses. SSOE provided full service building design as well as communication and security engineering to increase security measures at the campuses over a three year period.
This prominently sited, five-story structure ties the University of South Carolina (USC) traditional campus to its new urban "innovista" research campus. The facility supports programs in engineering, technology, scientific research, and industrial development of alternative energy sources.

Since 2004, SSOE has been providing this chemical manufacturer with design and start-up support for a series of complex facility expansions. SSOE's Data / Fire / Security team provided complete design of telecommunications, LAN, WAN, MAN security, access control, CCTV, fire alarm, sound, paging, and mass notification systems as well as an extensive fiber optic network. This network, which consists of thousands of strands of single and multi-mode fiber and required installation of more than 30 miles of fiber, serves the client's telecommunications, data, and process communications needs. The design also included an automated CCTV premier detection and alarm system.
Volkswagen selected SSOE to oversee architecture, engineering, and construction management for its new greedfield production facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. SSOE was responsible for the campus' data centers, fire alarm system, access control, and CCTV systems.

Ethel Dearest
Having worked in a nursing home, I tend to often write about my residents. About who they were to me and what they taught me. Ethel was a frail, tall woman with fading eyesight but a bright smile. She was in the early stages of Alzheimer's at the time, so often her actions were confusing to me, but nevertheless she always did whatever she was doing with purpose. A purpose that I at the time did not understand, but now I do.
"What are you doing, dear?"
Her whispy hair cascaded down in snow-white ringlets framing her delicate face, beneath those tresses she calmly looked up at me with her wrinkled fingers tightly wond around the green handle of the watering can. "Watering the flowers," she said without the slightest hesitation.
A slight giggle escaped from my lips as I watched water droplets settle upon the plastic red petals. "Sweetheart, you do know those aren't alive," gesturing towards table 15's centerpiece.
Her eyes glistened like the night sky as she whispered in my ear, "Just because something isn't living anymore, doesn't mean you should stop caring for them."
And just like that, I was swept into memories of those I lost and deeply regretful of the loved ones that I don't tend to as graciously as this dear woman does to those plants. Never have I questioned her since, still filling up the base of the plastic vases with water for those pretty red plastic posies.

THUMBS DOWN! ANOTHER WAKE-UP CALL. It's been said before that it's not a matter of "if" but "when" a catastrophic wildfire will hit the Gallinas Canyon and watershed. But in a presentation to the Gallinas Partnership last week, U.S. Forest Service fire specialist Bill Armstrong minced no words as he reinforced that warning. "Your watershed is going to burn, categorically, without question," he told a gathering of about 50 people.
We now continue our series about Las Vegas newspapers, as our tale of two cities would be lacking without the history of the fourth estate along the Gallinas.
Newspapers often provide a candid glimpse into the social, cultural and political events of the past — and often influence them — and newspapers also write the first draft of history, as Optic publisher Tom McDonald has observed.
Los Angeles Times on the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade (Jan. 22) — Forty years ago Jan. 22, the Supreme Court ruled that women had a constitutional right to an abortion. This one sweeping decision transformed abortion from what was often a secret, illicit and dangerous act, sometimes crudely self-inflicted, into a generally legal and safe procedure. But it also turned abortion, always an emotional issue, into one of society's most divisive.
The Associated Press
State grad rate was 67.3 percent
The federal government reports that New Mexico's graduation rate for the 2009-2010 was 67.3 percent. That's below the national average of 78.2 percent.
The so-called "average freshman graduation rates" indicate the percentage of 9th graders who go on to graduate within four years.
The rates are being reported by the National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education.
ALBUQUERQUE — Gov. Susana Martinez said Wednesday that she remained committed to "full repeal" of a New Mexico law that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses despite signaling a willingness to compromise with state Democrats a day earlier.
SANTA FE — Spacecraft operators and manufacturers, along with their parts and services suppliers, will be shielded in New Mexico from most damage lawsuits by passengers on space tourism flights under a proposal touted as a compromise between trial lawyers and the fledgling space travel industry.
Supporters of the measure say it should help New Mexico remain competitive in a race with Florida, Texas and other states to become a hub for commercial space travel.
Editor's note: With school board elections less than two weeks away it's time to start brushing up on where candidates stand on the issues. The Optic submitted questionnaires to all school board candidates in San Miguel County. What follows are the responses from candidates running for a seat on the Las Vegas City Schools Board of Education. We'll run responses from the other candidates in future editions of the Optic. Election Day is Feb. 5.

Fulham FC win best #throwbackthursday pic with the Stevenage Rd Stand plans from 1904!
Written By: isps|
Apr 11, 2013
It blows me away everyday how much more exposed we are to almost everything because of how the internet and social networking has opened up people and organizations to public viewing. One of the coolest trends, and one that has stuck worldwide, is #ThrowbackThursday… When it first started it just seemed like a way for girls to post pics of when they were really hot, or when they were partying in Ibiza, and dudes to show when they used to ball… its like breaking out the yearbook and letting everyone know how awesome you used to be. It's hilarious actually, but as #TBT has evolved, and organizations have gotten into the game, we start to see stuff like this from Fulham.
Today they posted the approved plans / a cross section of the Stevenage Rd Stand architecture from back in 1904. I'm not even a Fulham supporter, but I've looked at this picture like 10 different times. Cool stuff.

Wish I had the chance to know you. I was only two years old when you passed away early Christmas morning, the year 1974. I have no memories of you. The only link I had to what you were like as a Grandpa was Ronnie. And Ronnie would share with me fond memories of spending time with you and Grandma. Ronnie was a great story teller and I never grew tired of hearing him telling the same stories over and over again of the times he shared with you and Grandma. I often wonder what would I have called you. Growing up I always envied kids who had grandparents. Now that I'm a mother. I see how special a grandparent's love is. Isaiah (my son) calls my dad "Pa-Pa". Isaiah and his "Pa-Pa" have such a special relationship. I hope you are proud of me. I followed in your footsteps, I proudly serve in United States Air Force. If we could have a conversation, I would ask you a ton on questions about your time served in the United States Air Force...it was a different time and era, and I just wonder what was it like back then. They say you never miss what you never had...well I do miss growing up not knowing what a grandparents love feels like.
Love always,
Your grandaughter

SSgt Rufus Alfred Blackmon, USAF (Ret)
Dearest Grandpa,
I often wonder, even if as kid when we went to visit you and Grandma Bea your grave marker never said what War you served in. Yesterday, I asked mama if you served in the War. I got an Indignant YES. So I asked the question...why is it not on grandpa's grave marker. She said "Oh it's not, I never noticed." Grandpa, me being in the military that is the first thing I notice. I just "assumed" you never went to war. Mama went on to tell about all the stress she was under, trying to get you buried at Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery. The VA told mama they had NO records of you serving in the United States Air Force at ALL. Mama was under so much stress during that time, you passing on Christmas Day 1974. I found out Grandma Bea was hospitalized for 71 days shortly after you passed. Grandma never came home from the hosiptial. Grandma joined you in Heaven. Mama during that time was dealing with caring for her she was at the hospital everyday. Also, she had Ronnie, me and was pregnant with my little sister Bea. The VA gave her such a HARD time getting them to bury you at Ft Sam National cemetery. Since you "NEVER" served your country as far as their "RECORDS" indicated. Grandpa, I'm very ANGRY. Nobody noticed? I asked my dad he remembers conversations with you. Daddy told me yes you did serve in WW2. I told him about your grave marker. He also said he never noticed. Daddy rarely goes out to pay respects, it is to painful to him to visit Ronnie you and Grandma . I respect and understand the way he feels. Grandpa your death certificate service dates, say 1927-1959 and that you retired from U.SA.F. However, your death certificate does not mention you serving in WW2.
I will contact the VA and get this straight. Mama is getting older and she is under allot of stress. So I will find out the truth. I need to get my hands on your original DD214. Mama has it and she says it does say you served in WW2. I need to see it for my self. I will contact the VA about this matter. Not sure what good it is going to do. Since they have you as NEVER serving your country. Below is what I found out reference military records. It seems your records must to have been destroyed in the fire. Your service dates fits the time frame. "The infamous 12 Jul 1973 Fire"
Grandpa, this is a battle I have to fight, I need to know. If you did served in WW2 , Your grave marker should say it. If not, that is ok. I just have to know for certain. I always wondered, about your grave marker but never asked. Grandpa, whatever the outcome is. I'm proud of you no matter what.
Love Always,
Your granddaughter
20 March 2010-Information I found out about the "12 Jul 1973 Fire"
On July 12, 1973, a disastrous fire at NPRC (MPR) destroyed approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files. The affected record collections are described below.
No duplicate copies of the records that were destroyed in the fire were maintained, nor was a microfilm copy ever produced. There were no indexes created prior to the fire. In addition, millions of documents had been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs before the fire occurred. Therefore, a complete listing of the records that were lost is not available. Nevertheless, NPRC (MPR) uses many alternate sources in its efforts to reconstruct basic service information to respond to requests.
20 March 2010
Dearest Grandpa,
I'm very frustrated. I need to bug mama again. I need your DD214. I went to the site reference Mitlitary Records. To make a long story short, if records were destroyed in the fire some documentation has to be presented. Mama has the DD214. I just hate to bring it up. It still hurts her so. I can only imagine all the "red tape" she had to go through just to get you buried at Ft Sam National Cemetary. She was deeply in grief and had to deal with them telling her they had no records of you serving your country. Well I'm hurt too, just because I have no memories of you does not mean I don't feel connected to you. I'm just frustrated, hope Mama can find your DD214 and if it does say you served in WW2. Your grave marker should reflect.
20 March 2010- note to self what I need to obtain (VA "red tape" I hope they listen)
Reconstruction of Lost Records
If a veteran is advised that his or her records may have been lost in the fire, he or she may send photocopies of any documents they possess to the NPRC, particularly separation documents. The address is National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132-5100. This enables the NPRC to reestablish files by adding those documents to the computerized index and filing them permanently.

The Host - Final Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.02.14
Here's a final full-length trailer for the Stephanie Meyer sci-fi film about an alien invasion that can only be foiled by love, "The Host" starring Saoirse Ronan as Melanie, one of the last free earthlings who becomes a human host to Wanda, a parasitic alien that abducts Melanie's body. When the newly formed host starts having inner feelings from Melanie's defiant soul that wishes to reunite with her lost love and family, she defies her fellow alien beings and joins the small force of resisting humans in a war for survival.
The film is written and directed by Andrew Niccol and will invade theaters nationwide on March 29th.
From Stephenie Meyer (author of The Twilight Saga) comes The Host, a love story set in the future, where Earth is occupied by a species who erase the minds of their human hosts, leaving their bodies intact. Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan) is one of the last surviving humans who fights back, risking her life for the people she cares about most -- Jared (Max Irons), Ian (Jake Abel), her brother Jamie (Chandler Canterbury) and her Uncle Jeb (William Hurt) -- proving that love can conquer all.
The Host stars Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Jake Abel, Diane Kruger, William Hurt, Frances Fisher
Release: March 29th, 2013

Contemporary Cool
Cool non-traditional choices for a front door are lime and turquoise, says garden designer Carmen Johnston. This contemporary home was designed and photographed by Koch Architects, based in Berkeley, Calif.
Teal Appeal
Teal is a popular choice indoors and out, starting with the front door. The peppy palette is a smart alternative for a homeowner who is tired of a black or taupe door, says Georgia landscape designer Danna Cain of Home & Garden Design. Photo by The Home Depot.
Better Red
A red front door is a vibrant choice, whether the home has a stucco or brick front. Photo by Belgard.
Classic White and Brick
A white door pops against gray and red brick in a historic Atlanta neighborhood. Brick homes can use a front door color other than red, says landscape designer Danna Cain of Home & Garden Design. Photo by JJ Ortega Real Estate Photography.
Darken Your Door
If the house has a red brick exterior, a dark door works best, says landscape designer Danna Cain. Photo courtesy of Georgia Front Porch.
Shingled Cottage with Slate Porch
A home without shutters gives you more flexibility when selecting a front door color. Choosing a blue-based color can be an alternative to dark green, taupe or black, says landscape designer Danna Cain.
Down With Brown
A rich brown door with decorative details can present a nice contrast to a white wood exterior and fit with the home's historic look. This Madison, Ga., residence dates to 1820. Photo by Katy Roberts.
Door With a View
A brown front door with leaded glass makes an entryway instantly noticeable, says Bruce Holliday with Landscape Plans Plus. Photo by Masonite.
Brown Leaded Glass Door on Stone Home with Portico
A brown wood front door isn't lost in columned portico and contributes to this grand entryway. The leaded glass adds an upscale feature, says landscape designer Bruce Holliday. Photo by Masonite.
Red Front Door on Brick Home
Red is a frequent choice for homes with a traditional look, fitting with brick, molding and columns painted white. "The old-fashioned, welcoming color for a front door is red," says Bruce Holliday of Landscape Plans Plus.
Back in Black
The black front door gives a stately look to a red brick home in a historic Atlanta neighborhood. Shutters are painted in a matching color. Photo by JJ Ortega Real Estate Photography.

Schaerer Medical Presents Mobile Operating Table with Heavyweight Capacity
Schaerer Medical AG
Schaerer Medical Presents Mobile Operating Table with Heavyweight Capacity
The new schaerer® arcus convinces with standard heavyweight capability and elegant design
(Muensingen/Switzerland, November 11, 2009) - Schaerer Medical introduces a new operating table to the market, capable of carrying patients up to a weight of 360 kg. The well-known stability and solidity of Schaerer's products reaches new dimensions with this operating table.
The established column-construction allows free access both for surgical and technical demands and defines this operating table as an optimal solution in the operating room. The reach of extension of the column – measuring in standard-situations from 59-120 centimetres – under maximum heavy weight-bearing still is 59-100 centimetres. With this feature, the schaerer® arcus provides advantages for many challenges that hitherto have only been possible to a certain extend. Additionally, all standard positions can be reached under maximum weight-loading.
With this innovation, the Swiss firm with a long tradition in surgical equipment reacts to the statistically proven trend of an increase of overweight patients, a tendency having reached Europe from the U.S. The new standard heavy-weight function of the operating table schaerer® arcus now ensures that these patients can be operated without any impediment. The schaerer® arcus is available worldwide.
The new schaerer® arcus types 501, 601 and 701 integrate the full heavy-weight functions as standard and only differ in their electro-hydraulical movability of the diverse parts of the lying surface. Schaerer Medical´s product manager Michael Voegtle explains: "The special challenge was to optimise the present
schaerer® arcus functions and to combine them with the new heavy-duty capability without changing the design of the table. We have been testing the table with much more weight than under normal situations: It still operates without fail in the standard A-position, even under extreme load." Voegtle continues: "The patient can feel extremely secure also due to the new, innovative anti-decubitus cushioning used on the schaerer® arcus for the first time."
The new schaerer® arcus types combine mobility with elegant and up-to-date design and state-of-the-art technology. The structure of the tables with their excentrically positionened telescopable column guarantees maximal freedom of movement for the surgeon and optimal access to the operation field. Additionally, Schaerer Medical offers a wide range of equipment for all surgical disciplines and the newly developed MIS-Extension-System compatible to the schaerer® arcus. Through their outstanding stability the schaerer® arcus types 501 and 701 are especially suited for these extensions.
Schaerer Medical produces the new schaerer® arcus operating tables at its headquarters in Switzerland. The schaerer® arcus – in the Schaerer tradition – has been developed under the control of leading swiss surgeons. It offers optimal conditions for all requirements of the surgical routine.
The schaerer® arcus is the second innovative product being devised by Schaerer Medical AG in only one year. Due to continous growth, the firm invests steadily into the development of innovative products and defends its leading position in medical technology.

Out of the kids that i have asked about this at least %60-%70 say yes that they like the fiona and cake series better than the finn and jake series. I like this series because it turns the world on it's head and give the show a whole different meaning.
Firstly, Finn and Jake are the central characters. Without them, most of the show isnt even possible. Secondly, they are better role models for teen boys, whereas Fiona and Cake are for little girls, not that it's a bad thing. Adventure Time can appeal to anyone, so I think its cool there is female versions, but Finn and Jake are funnier and defiantly more layered...Like ogres.
No, Fiona and Cake are inferior to Finn and Jake. Adventure Time is all about having awesome adventures with you awesome and crazy friends. Fiona and Cake while adorable are not awesome swashbucklers like Finn and Jake. Fiona and Cake are more interested in romance whereas Finn and Jake have a balanced interest in romance and adventure.
