Randolph is a rural unincorporated community in Tipton County, Tennessee, United States, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. Randolph was founded in the 1820s and in 1827, the Randolph post office was established. In the 1830s, the town became an early center of river commerce in West Tennessee. Randolph shipped more cotton annually than Memphis until 1840. In 1834, the first pastor of the Methodist congregation was appointed. The fortunes of the community began to decline in the late 1840s due to failed railroad development, an unfavorable mail route and other factors. The first Confederate States Army fort in Tennessee was built at Randolph early in the Civil War in 1861, a second fortification at Randolph was constructed later that same year. During the Civil War, the town was burned down twice by Union Army forces.
The settlement is located on the second Chickasaw Bluff, the landscape is dominated by valleys carved into the soil as a product of erosion. The surface soil is composed mostly of silt loam, derived from eroded loess, and is found in different qualities and at different stages of erosion. The stratum beneath the surface consists of glacial gravel. Randolph is situated on the southeastern edge of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, an area with a high earthquake risk. Between 1974 and 2004, forty-five earthquakes were recorded in a radius of 20 miles (32 km) around the settlement. Located in the humid subtropical climate zone, the climate is characterized by hot, humid summers and chilly to mild winters.
In 2008, Randolph Bluff Historic Park was dedicated. The park is intended to promote the Civil War history of the community and make the unique views of the Mississippi River available to a wider public. As of 2008, Randolph has a population of about 200 and consists of about two dozen dwellings. The economy of the rural community is dominated by agriculture with no major industries and businesses present. The Girl Scouts Heart of the South operates a camp at Randolph.

European settlement[edit]
Around 1800, Europeans began settling the land east of the Mississippi River that was inhabited by the Chickasaw Indians for centuries prior to the arrival of Europeans. Chickasaw land in West Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky was ceded in the Jackson Purchase.[3] In 1818, both sides agreed to the transfer by signing the Treaty of Tuscaloosa.[4]
In the early 19th century, the terrain of the Chickasaw Bluffs provided promising locations for a harbor on the Mississippi River for Randolph. In 1820, the area had an estimated population of 54.[5] Early in the 1820s, investors John T. Brown and Robert Bedford were the owners of the land that would form Randolph a few years later. Only 40–50 miles (60–80 km) north of Memphis by water, they described the area as "a good landing for Mississippi River flatboats". The Hatchie River, joining the Mississippi River just north of Randolph, was accessible to steamboats upriver to Bolivar. Brown and Bedford chose the site to lay out the plan for Randolph, a promising river town.[6] The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture gives the date of Randolph's official establishment as 1823.[7] Other reports date the foundation to 1827 or 1828.[6] The settlement is named for John Randolph[7] (1773–1833), a leader in the United States Congress from Virginia.[8]
Cotton commerce[edit]
Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, the topography of Randolph provided for an ideal harbor for steamboats and flatboats at all river stages. Randolph became the center of steamboat commerce in Tennessee. The town was an early rival of Memphis over commercial superiority on the Mississippi River.[7][9] In 1830, Randolph was the most important shipping point in Tennessee.[10] In the mid-1830s, Randolph shipped up to 40,000 bales of cotton on the Mississippi River every year. More cotton was shipped from Randolph than from Memphis until 1840. At the peak of its commercial success, the community was called the "great steamboat depot of West Tennessee".[7][11]
By 1829, Randolph had three commission warehouses, six dry goods stores, ten physicians and one tavern.[6] In 1834, Randolph had a population of approximately 1,000. By that time, the town had four hotels, almost fifty businesses, private schools, and more than ten saloons.[6][7] In the 1830s, two newspapers were published in Randolph, the Randolph Recorder and the Randolph Whig.[11][12] In the 1830s, the first bank was founded and a stagecoach line provided a connection between Randolph and Jackson twice a week.[11] The commercial success of Randolph can be attributed in part to the use of slave labor, mostly for the cultivation of cotton. Corn, beans and peas were also cultivated.[13] In the Randolph Recorder during the early 1830s, landowners announced public auctions of slaves or offered rewards for runaway or stolen slaves.[14]

The fortunes of Randolph declined in the later 1840s and the 1850s due to many factors, starting shortly after the establishment of the town. Five years after the settlement was founded, a dispute over the ownership of the land the town was established on, arose over a faulty land title with land owner Ann Grambelling from New York.[6][7] Until 1835, the pending lawsuit "prevented the growth of population" in and around Randolph.[11] The residents of the community bought back the land their town was founded on for $8,000 in a settlement.[6][7]
An unfavorable mail line also had an early and lasting influence on the fortunes of the town. When the mail route was established in 1829, Randolph was put at the end of a branch route of the mail line and received mail only once a week.[7][16] Failed railroad development further contributed to the demise of the town; and in 1852, residents of Randolph unsuccessfully tried to move the county seat from Covington to Randolph.[6][7] Financial depression and David Crockett's failed attempt to cut a canal from the Hatchie River to the Tennessee River also were problems that had a negative impact on the future of commercial prosperity in Randolph.[7][10] During the Civil War, the town was burned down twice, in September 1862 and again in 1865, discouraging many residents from re-building residences and businesses a second time.[7]
Civil War[edit]
Fort Wright was the first Confederate Army fortification built at Randolph. On January 20, 1861, the Memphis Appeal published a pro-secessionist proposal to build a fort at Randolph to defend Memphis.[17] In April 1861, Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris ordered to establish a camp and complete the fortification at Randolph. About 5,000 troops from Tennessee, Arkansas and the Confederate Army were stationed at the location to accomplish the task.[15] By June 1861, fifty cannons were reported to be ready at Fort Wright.[18]
Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821–77) trained at Fort Wright.[19][20] Forrest and other future leaders in the Confederate States Army and the Army of Tennessee received training at Fort Wright. The fort was Tennessee's first military training camp in which soldiers could gain experience in the construction of fortifications and the setup of artillery batteries.[15] Fort Wright was the forwardmost defensive position on the Mississippi River until July 1861.[15] In 2008, only a powder magazine is left of Fort Wright.[9]
Fort Randolph, the second Confederate stronghold in the area during the Civil War, was constructed in Fall 1861.[21] The fortification was situated on the Mississippi River bluffs, about 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of Fort Wright.[22] In a dispatch published by the New York Times in March 1862, Fort Randolph is described as a "rough and incomplete earthwork (...), more than 100 feet above the river". The position of the fortification allowed a view of the Mississippi River for 6 miles (10 km), both upstream and downstream.[21] In 2008, Fort Randolph is no longer in existence.
In 1862, Union Army Major General William T. Sherman (1820–91) and his troops assumed control of Memphis and the surrounding areas. While trying to keep the area under Union control, Sherman became "frustrated by the constant guerrilla activity in his sector". Confederate guerrillas from the Randolph area weakened the Union forces along the Mississippi River.[23][24]
In September 1862, the Union supply ship Eugene was fired at from Randolph. Sherman ordered to "destroy the place, leaving one house to mark the place". Union Army soldiers burned down Randolph in retaliation for the guerrilla attack. To his superior officer, General Ulysses S. Grant, Sherman reported that he had "given public notice that a repetition [of guerrilla attacks] will justify any measures of retaliation".[24] Randolph was burned down a second time by federal soldiers in 1865.[7]
Geography and climate[edit]
Randolph is located at 35°30′59″N 89°53′19″W / 35.51639°N 89.88861°W.[25] The elevation above sea level is 315 feet (96 m).[1]
The surface soil in the Randolph area is composed mostly of silt loam of different qualities and at different stages of erosion. About 15% of the surface soil consists of "Adler silt loam" with a slope of 0–1%, found in the frequently flooded plains at Randolph. About 20% of the soil is severely eroded "Memphis silt loam" with 12–25% slopes, and ca. 35% of the soil consists of "Memphis silt loam" with 20–40% slopes. Less than 8% consists of moderately eroded "Memphis silt loam" with slopes from 1–5%. The remaining surface soil is composed of other silts, sands or clays, including "Robinsonville fine sandy loam" (ca. 6%) and "Tunica clay" (ca. 1.5%). Approximately 1.5% of the area is covered by water.[26][27] The parent material of the "Memphis silt loam" is Pleistocene loess.[26] Loess is a fine-grained, slightly coherent, silty, windblown sediment.[28] Eroded loess consists of extremely fine, sandy particles and forms silt in environments that provide sufficient moisture of the soil, usually caused by occasional flooding or precipitation. Soil derived from eroded loess is sometimes also referred to as loess.
The settlement of Randolph is situated on top of the second Chickasaw Bluff, on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River in Tipton County. The four Chickasaw Bluffs are high grounds above the Mississippi River flood plains, composed of eroded pre-historic loess over glacial gravel.[29] The Chickasaw Bluffs west of the community, on the banks of the Mississippi River, and flat cotton-fields east of Randolph dominate the rural landscape surrounding the settlement.
In the last 150 years, the general landscape around Randolph has not changed much. In 1862, the hinterland of the town is described to be "full of ravines and gorges".[21] Ravines and gorges are valleys or canyons carved from the landscape as a product of erosion, caused by a stream or river or by seasonal precipitation, funneling water towards less elevated locations of the drainage basin. The landscape cut into the soil of the Mississippi River bluffs by water erosion for centuries is still present in modern times.
In 1833, a stagecoach road from Randolph to Jackson in Madison County, 70 miles (100 km) east of Randolph, was established. The antebellum route connected the two towns as well as the villages along the way two times per week.[11] Randolph and Memphis were connected by a direct travel route later in the 1830s. The road was part of a mail line between Jackson and Memphis in Shelby County on which mail was delivered weekly on horseback. The exact routing of the segment between Randolph and Memphis is unknown.[11] A fragment of the route bearing the former name, about 1,000 feet (300 m) in length, was in existence until about 2005. The remaining piece of Old Randolph Road was located about 2 miles (3 km) north of the mouth of the Wolf River and 800 feet (240 m) east of the Mississippi River, just south of the mouth of the Loosahatchie River in Memphis.[30] As of 2010, the remaining fragment of Old Randolph Road is destroyed, the land on which the historic mail route was located is used as an industrial property.[31][32] A publication dated 1862, reports that Randolph is "approached in the rear by several good roads".[21]
In 2008, Randolph is located near "good roads" as well as it was during the Civil War, with the exception that modern roads in the area are paved for the most part. U.S. Route 51 passes Randolph 5 miles (8 km) in the southeast and Tennessee State Route 59 (TN 59) passes 0.5 miles (800 m) southeast of the town. Four roads at county level converge at Randolph, as shown in the table below.[33] A portion of Ballard Slough Road is located in the flood plains, this segment is prone to flooding and unpaved.

Randolph is located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, just south of the lower mouth of the Hatchie River. In the 1820s, the Hatchie River at Randolph was accessible to steamboats for 60 miles (100 km) upriver to Bolivar in Hardeman County.[6]
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is the federal agency responsible for navigable waters and flood protection, among many other peacetime and wartime tasks.[35] From 2005 to 2007, the USACE spent $9,773,662 to ensure the navigation of the Mississippi River at Randolph for boats and barges and to provide flood protection for the immediately surrounding areas of the town. Contracts include surveying and mapping, engineering and construction, as well as tasks related to conservation and development of the Mississippi River and the river basin at Randolph.[36] Maintenance related projects include dredging of the navigable channel of the Mississippi River at Randolph to remove sedimented sand and mud.[37] Tasks related to conservation include dike construction to protect low-lying areas at Randolph from flooding and subsequent erosion.[38] The Navigation Bulletin No. 2, issued by the USACE in 2006, describes a stone dike construction at Randolph with an approximate elevation of 25 feet (7.6 m) at river mile 770L.[34]
Located on the southeastern edge of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, the settlement of Randolph is situated in an area with a high earthquake risk.[39][40] Between 1974 and 2004, ten earthquakes have been recorded in a radius of 10 miles (16 km) around Randolph. The magnitude of the temblors ranged from 1.5 to 3.2 on the Richter scale. The hypocenter depth ranged from 3.1 miles (5.0 km) to 8.2 miles (13.2 km).[41][42] In the same time period, at a radius of 20 miles (32 km) around Randolph, forty five earthquakes have been reported with magnitudes ranging from 1.0 to 3.2 at a depth between 656 feet (200 m) and 12.1 miles (19.5 km).[41][43] The highest magnitude earthquake recorded in the area since 1974 occurred on August 19, 1994 – the temblor was measured 3.2 on the Richter scale with an epicenter at coordinates 35°31′N 89°55′W / 35.51°N 89.92°W, ca. 2 miles (3 km) west of Randolph, at a depth of 6.6 miles (10.6 km).[41][44]
On January 16, 2009 at 3:09 p.m. local time (21:09 UTC), "a small earthquake shook portions of Tipton County". The earthquake was measured at a magnitude 2.8 on the Richter scale.[45] According to the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI), the epicenter of the temblor was reported to be at coordinates 35°38′42″N 89°41′38″W / 35.645°N 89.694°W at a depth of 5.3 miles (8.5 km). There were no reports of damage caused by the earthquake.[46] The location of the epicenter was near the first Chickasaw Bluff, about 2 miles (3 km) east of Fort Pillow State Park and ca. 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Randolph.[44][46] Smaller earthquakes along the New Madrid Seismic Zone are not uncommon.[39]
Randolph is located in a humid subtropical climate zone. The climate is characterized by hot, humid summers and chilly to mild winters. Significant amounts of precipitation occur in all seasons.[47] At Randolph, July is the warmest month on the average. In 1930, the highest recorded temperature was measured at 108 °F (42 °C). January is the coolest month on the average. In 1951, the lowest recorded temperature was measured at −11 °F (−24 °C). Precipitation peaks in December on the average.[48] The table below displays the average monthly high and low temperatures and precipitation at Randolph.

Agriculture is the predominating source of income in the area surrounding Randolph, especially the cultivation of cotton. Corn, beans and peas were also cultivated during the last century [clarification needed].[13] After the abolition of slavery in 1865,[49] sharecropping was the primary means of income for low income families in the area. Mostly for the cultivation of cotton, land would be used by sharecroppers in return for a share of the crop to the landowner. Modern machines such as the cotton picker have made the manual cultivation obsolete over time as they took over the work from the manual laborers.
In 2008, Randolph has a population of c. 200,[2] and consists of about two dozen dwellings. The economy of the rural community is dominated by agriculture with no major industries and businesses present.
Randolph United Methodist Church[edit]
In 1834, Reverend Samuel R. Davidson became the first pastor at Randolph. He was appointed by the Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church.[50] After his appointment as a pastor of the community, a congregation formed around Davidson and built a church at Randolph. The second church at Randolph was built by the congregation in 1883. In 1953, construction of a new church was completed, the building was remodeled in 1975 and serves as a place of worship for the Methodist congregation of Randolph as of 2008.[50]
The United Methodist Church at Randolph had 78 pastors as of 1983.[50] In 2008, Reverend Thomas M. Yoder and Reverend Ben Rainey are the appointed pastors at the Randolph Methodist community. Randolph United Methodist Church is located at 98 Ballard Slough Road. The worship attendance for the church is reported as 76 members of the congregation on the average.[51]
Randolph Assembly of God[edit]
Randolph Assembly of God is a second place of worship in the town, the church was founded in 2001. In 2008, the congregation is led by Pastor Larry Rose and Pastor Frank Russell. Randolph Assembly of God is located at 1135 Randolph Road.[52][53]
Randolph Bluff Historic Park[edit]
On October 11, 2008, the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation, a non-profit organization, dedicated Randolph Bluff Historic Park in a celebration with politicians, conservationists, historians and community members. The 19 acres (77,000 m2) property on the second Chickasaw Bluff was purchased for $378,000. The park is intended to promote the Civil War history of the community and make the unique views of the Mississippi River available to a wider public, additional revenue from tourism is expected for the community. Once Randolph Bluff Historic Park is finished, it will be part of the Mississippi River Corridor Tennessee, a project to "create a scenic byway that connects historic sites along the Mississippi River", the project also promotes economical development and the preservation of land and wildlife in the Tennessee counties bordering the Mississippi River.[2][54][55]
Girl Scouts Heart of the South[edit]
Girl Scouts Heart of the South is a girl scout organization serving 16,500 girls in the Memphis metropolitan area, including counties in West Tennessee, North Mississippi and Crittenden County, Arkansas. Girl Scouts Heart of the South operates six camps and one training center in their area of coverage, including a 104 acres (420,000 m2) property in Tipton County, "Camp Annemeekee".[56] The scout camp is located on Girl Scout Road south of Randolph.[33]

Thirty NineMature
I watched Zoe sleep next to me under the duvet. She was so beautiful. I brushed her hair behind her ear. I rolled onto my back and sighed. I looked around the room and saw my rucksack in the corner. I got out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake Zoe. I tip-toed over to my bag and pulled out a new set of clothes.
After I was dressed, I slowly opened the door and closed it again behind me. I heard Darran and Riley talking in the kitchen. I went downstairs and sat down at the table with the others. Darran raised an eyebrow at me and smirked.
"Oh, fuck off," I said to him. He laughed. "So is there a specific reason you guys left earlier?"
"Maybe," Riley said slowly. "Then again, maybe not."
I rolled my eyes.
"So, did you guys find something to do while we were gone?" asked Darran, obviously trying not to laugh.
"Seriously, why is this so funny to you?" I asked them. Then they just started laughing, tears and everything.
"Sorry," Riley said between fits. "I thought we'd had our giggle."
"Obviously not," I commented.
Eventually they stopped giggling like 3 year olds and managed to calm down enough to have a conversation that didn't involve gasping for breath.
"So you were teaching Zoe telepathy?" asked Riley calmly.
I nodded. "She's very good."
That was when Darran made his stupid comment: "I know something else she's good at." That started them off again.
I got up. "Come and find me when you've grown up."
I left the room and went into the living room. I shut the door and tried to ignore the sounds of their incessant giggling. They could be so childish sometimes. I sat down on the couch and sighed. I looked at the unlit candle on the table. I picked it up and blew the dust off it.
I pulled a lighter out of my pocket. I always carried a lighter with me in case I ever needed it. I lit the candle and set it back on the table. Putting the lighter back in my pocket, I focused on the flame. I blocked out all the noise - which was really only the laughter coming from the other room - and felt myself being sucked in.
I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I wasn't in a living room in Indiana. The place I was in was so familiar to me, I didn't need to look around to see the perfection of it. All the angles were perfect. The trees, the flowers, the clouds, it was all far too perfect.
"It's been a while, my Child," said a voice.
I looked ahead and a woman appeared. Her dress seemed to be made of living shadows and her eyes gleamed black. Her black lips stood out from her pale skin as they curved into a smile.
"Not that long," I said to her.
"Debatable. How are you?" she asked.
"I'm okay. Are you ready for Council tomorrow night?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow teasingly.
"Oh dear, I forgot about that... I would put a stop to it but it's the second most interesting thing that happens around here, after your visits."
"I feel special."
"You are special."
"Well, yes, but... Oh never mind," I sighed.
She laughed. "How is your Zoe?"
"You don't need to ask that; you already know."
"Oh, I do, indeed. The contents of her mind aren't a secret to me, and what interesting secrets they are... I could tell you her darkest desires, her deepest secrets, but then what would be the fun in that? Even my little Pawn cannot know everything about those around him."
"Of course not, Mistress."
"Ace, be-" Then I was being dragged out of that place.
I jumped as I opened my real eyes. Darran and Riley had sneaked up on me and shouted boo. I turned to glare at them. They seemed to understand the reality of the situation as they stopped laughing. They hadn't seen the candle.
"Oh, shit," murmured Riley.

Style and atmosphere inside the game:Angela Young's Dream Adventure is a nice game which won.t impress you much with its graphics, as all the characters look like poorly-proportioned statues. You won.t find a big variety of rooms to visit, but the object in the same rooms will be rearranged, or removed. The sound system suits the overall action perfectly. Players will listen to well-selected sound effects as well as relevant background music. Overall, it is a nice hidden object game, which brings hours of exciting gameplay.

Three quarters of UK adults feel that there are too many reality programmes on television, with only 9% citing them as their favourite programmes. Even among young people aged 15-24, who have traditionally flocked to view shows such as Big Brother, there was a sense of ennui, with only 15% reality was their favourite type of show.
This is one of a number of findings in a massive and authoritative study published last week by ad agencies' trade body Institute of Practitioners in Advertising. The second IPA TouchPoints survey tracks a week in the life of 5,400 British people, with the research conducted during late 2007 and early 2008.
BBC1 is the nation's favourite TV channel, named by 56% of adults, according to the IPA research. These people tend to expect BBC1 to show good programmes.
BBC Radio 2 the favourite radio station among adults. But 40% of 15-24s favour Radio 1, putting it far ahead of any other radio broadcaster in this demographic.
The study showed a rapid 43% rise in weekday use of the internet since the last such IPA study conducted in 2005, up to 1.07 hours a day. Currently 45% of upmarket ABC1s use the web at home daily, compared with 29% of C2DEs, while for 15-24s it is 53%.
During the week the average adult now spends 24% of their time awake watching the TV, 13% listening to radio, 7% using the internet and 3% reading a newspaper or magazine.
But there are sharp differences in internet usage between age groups. While overall 40% of internet users have visited at least one social networking site, for 15-24s the figure is 73%, tailing off to just 8% for the over 65s.
Social networking destinations are the most popular sites for young people surfing over the weekend. A quarter of all adults read blogs, a quarter of 15-24s have commented online, and 15% adults write their own blogs.
The IPA study found that 6% like the idea of recording TV programmes on mobile phones, rising to 15% among 15-24s.
While 30% of 15-24 year olds have watched mobile clips on their phone, they resent being sent unsolicited commercial text messages, to the point they are becoming ineffective: 62% of 15-24 year olds say they ignore all such texts.
The study, designed to help advertisers and marketeers get their messages across cost effectively, paints a picture of a stressed but home loving nation, short of time: 67% say life is far more stressful than it used to be and 11% say they hate their jobs.
Travelling on weekdays, generally the commute to work, has risen to 1.44 hours a day from 1.07 hours in 2005, a fact which underlines the importance of free newspapers for advertisers seeking to reach time consumers with increasingly busy lives.
The study found that while the main reason for buying a national newspaper is to keep abreast of events, a third cite entertainment, with celebrity news and gossip the main reason for one in five. Puzzles and crosswords are key attractions for the over 65s. Older people still prefer a printed paper, while newspaper websites attract younger readers.
Newspaper giveaways behaviour and encourage sampling: 29% of all adults, and 34% of 15-24 year olds say they often buy a newspaper they would not normally consider purchasing because of a free CD or DVD.
The IPA study also found that digital switch over is still not understood by 20% of adults, rising to 30% among the over 65s - a finding which echoes other recent research.
There was firm opposition to any interference with programming by advertisers in the form of product placement, with 59% saying it was not right for companies to try to influence content or views expressed in TV programmes. This suggests culture secretary Andy Burnham's stance against product placement has more popular support than those, including ITV, that favour its introduction.
But there is broader support for sponsorship, with 70% recognising that without it many sporting events would disappear.

King of Trolls Edit
Zonoko and Naru were assigned to assist the Imperial Cartographer Asako Gohiro in 958. It was at this time, during the exploration of a mountain in the Spine of the World Mountains that Zonoko inadvertantly awakened the King of the Trolls. It is believed that Zonoko and Naru were both killed within moments of the creature's awakening. [1]

24 Passes
By Redcarsgofaster
Because of the Leeds hype-machine-like tendency of the Dance to the Radio compilations, all of a sudden twenty-odd unknown bands all of a sudden get thrust into the limelight and we get to see what happens. For Shut Your Eyes... and Pigeon Detectives it's worked wonders, just look at the rave reviews and memorable national shows, but the world hasn't changed for Leicester's Redcarsgofaster so far.
Maybe their geographical position ostracises them from a scene heavily based on the fact that the aforementioned bands hail from lovely Leeds but I saw Redcarsgofaster in Lincoln about two years ago and they were "on the brink of greatness" (says Press-release) even back then. They blatantly know what they're doing; Interpol-y breakdowns and Smiths-like echoey guitar lines with a frontman with more than a hint of Brandon Flowers (in his more serious mode) about him, plus they're great live.
Anyway, 24 Passes is the A-side and it's really really poppy, almost like they rang NME and asked for a minute by minute guide to writing a "new" sounding single, hence there isn't much to criticise; Dance-rock by numbers with a trademark quiet-build-up bit at the end. House of Flies is more of the same but with the b-side quality of feeling like they can take less time to get to the dancey bit.
Basically Redcarsgofaster are really good, but as more time goes by where they're not getting the limelight they once deserved, newer bands are re-hashing this echoey-dance stuff so much that I think its getting pretty stale and they're might not be anyone left interested in this band by the time they break.

Today, I took my brother to the ER. His bimbo girlfriend told him he has "ironing board abs" so they had the bright idea of ironing her clothes on his stomach. When the Dr. asked him why he didn't stop if it burned, he said he didn't want to look "like a pussy". He'd have likely drowned if she'd gotten it right and said "washboard abs". FML
Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

Hotel is clean and tidy, all in good working order with WiFi and computers to use included. Breakfast is good and reception pleasant and helpful. Would recommend as a good place to stay for the first couple of nights.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We were booked into this hotel with our small tour and not one of us were happy with it. Rooms are not sound proof, no tissues, no drinking water, no clock, no where to put your luggage, and as a lot of rooms are inward looking over courtyard where dining room opens from, as groups leave at all times of the night, you are constantly woken.Staff are not friendly and all round this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in.

It was only 9.30am, and yet the daily catch had all but sold out - and all that was left were scraps and hungry seabirds, all perched expectantly on the stainless steel counters, waiting for the sellers to throw them the leftovers. Here we saw brightly coloured Peruvian plovers, their red beaks startlingly bright against the grey sky. As we wandered through the market, we found ourselves greeted by 30 or so pelicans, their ...

Peruvians with long braids and straw hats were hawking parasols to the wilting sightseers, calling 'sombrilla, sombrilla' over and over again in cracked, thirsty voices. A Spanish call to prayer boomed from the church, competing with the jaunty national songs played by the martial band. Arturo and I laughed, a private joke about the power of man grappling with the power of the church. Leaving the Plaza, we went ...

We were super dusty (all dirt/gravel roads) so after the tour, we went back to the hostel and showered and headed back to downtown Miraflores for the day.

Is live music really that much superior to recorded music? You bet it is. Can you imagine a few hundred people taking an evening off to sit in front of a tape recorder or CD player, even if it was playing a real gem not available anywhere else? And can you imagine these same people actually shelling out hundreds of dollars for this experience? I bet you that you can't. Yet people are constantly doing just that when it comes to a live music show.
What is it in live music that attracts people, that enthralls them so? Why are people so willing to spend their time and hard earned money for such an experience?
Well, for one, there is a certain feeling of closeness and attachment, a feeling of actually taking part in the experience, that exists in live music and is so lacking in pre recorded music. A sense of being there. Of being enveloped by the music, which is happening right in front of their very eyes. This feeling of connectivity to the music is totally non existent iwhen listening to pre recorded music coming out of a black box.
Then there's also the appreciation for the music, which makes the experience so much more real. When listening to actual live music, there is the awe, the delight, of seeing the various musicians and instruments working together in order to bring out the end result, a beautiful harmony. The sweat pouring down the musicians' faces, watching their exertion and talent, their fingers gently and gracefully flitting across the piano's keys and gliding across the musical strings, all this comes together to give a listening participant the ultimate exhilarating feeling and pleasure that comes with attending a live music concert.
All this is what attracts people to attend a live music concert, when they can hear the same exact songs on their personal devices for less money, and perhaps even get a recording of the very concert that they would have missed for just a fraction of the price.That's because when that very same music comes out of a small little box or smartphone, it is missing the entire backround, nay the entire soul of the music, the very thing that actually makes that music into music, the very things that brought it about.
In a sense, listening to pre recorded music is a little like listening to dead music, as the entire experience, the entire soul of the music, is essentially missing.

Dec. bu. 84 £ *■» The sky's the limit Construction soared to all-time high in January Comal County, the New Braunfels ISD and New Braunfels Utilities all jumped at once in January, pushing the local building-permit total to an unprecedented $12.3 million. That's more than six times the amount recorded in December, when new projects added up to only $1.98 million. The city building department hasn't seen even half this much construction since July 1982, when McKenna Memorial Hospital started work on its $6.5 million expansion. The total for that month was $7.7 million. Utilities' new wastewater treatment plant, the county's new jail and improvements to six NBISD schools added up to almost that much last month — $7.4 million mall. Utilities took out a permit for $3.35 million to build the wastewater plant at 1922 Kuehler Ave. County Commissioners held groundbreaking ceremonies this Thursday for the $2.7 million jail, to be located at San Antonio Street and Water I^ane. Air-conditioning, electrical adjustments and repairs to existing NBISD campuses came to $1.6 million. The district has not yet taken out a permit for the planned new elementary school on County Line Road. Three new stores, a motel, two restaurants and the rebuilding of New Braunfels Smokehouse's meat processing plant made up another $3 5 million. Additional projects, including $1.2 million in residential construction, rounded out the record month. After the government projects, Westport Pepperell was the biggest spender on the books It started work on a $832,000 mill store and a $168,000 air-washer building, both on the newly-platted section of land between Mission Valley Mills and U.S. 81. Beeson & Associates took out a permit for the new Beall's store in the Courtyard Shopping Center, which will cost an estimated $696,000 to build The third new store is a $80,659 job at 336 luanda, undertaken by Harrison Construction for Dwight Higginbothams The Smokehouse will spend an estimated $800,000 to rebuild its meat plant at 441 Guenther Ave. H T Miller Co. is the contractor on that job. Permits have been recorded, but not issued yet. for a 41-unit motel at Texas 46 and Hueco Springs Road; and for a $300,000 steakhouse to be built for Slater Inc. Lynn Witters is contractor for the motel, owned by Mariott & Vickers The estimated cost of that project is $500,000. The Comfort Inn, which is already under construction at 1209 IH 35 West, took out an additional permit for a $23,000 swimming pool.

Chunn said state law required a petition signed by 20 percent of the people who voted in the last election, where the city charter requires only IO percent. But he didn't think that would be a problem, because the petition had more than twice the 109 names that would have been needed for the IO percent provision. See COUNCIL, Page MA Whitney gets probated sentence By DEBBIE DatOACM Staff writer The former executive director of San Antonio's Catholic Youth Organization was given six years probation for indecency with a child by 22nd District Court Judge Charles Ramsay Thursday. Duncan Cameron Whitney of Canyon Lake pleaded guilty Dec. 12, 1983 to two counts of indecency with a child. Judge Ramsay sentenced him to serve six years in the Texas Department of Corrections Thursday morning, then suspended the sentence and placed Whitney on probation for six years. The two indecency counts against Whitney relate to an Aug. 4 incident, involving two San Antonio boys under age 13. Sheriff's Ll. Gilbert Villarreal in vestigated the mother's complaints at the request of the Texas Department of Human Resources. Whitney turned himself into Comal County authorities Sept. 15. the same day he resigned as CYO director. He had worked with that organization in vinous capacities for over 20 years. Judge Ramsay also fined Whitney $1,000 and ordered him to pa> at least $654.50 in restitution to the boys' family. Adult Probation Officer Jack Williamson said Thursday the restitution was for counseling and follow-up the boys had received, and included an estimate on what will take place in that area through May. "But the judge stressed to Mr. Whitney the restitution dollar amount was not necessary a final figure," Williamson added, "and Mr Whitney fully understands that."

4 Lesser-Known Tips to Save on Gas (and Some Myths that Don't)
There may not be an immediate solution to solving America's overpriced gas dilemma. But Go Banking Rates lists 4 lesser-known tips to help you cope with quenching your gas tanks' expensive thirst.
The U.S. Department of Energy says that using the wrong motor oil in your vehicle can depress the mileage you get on the road. 10W-30 blend in a car designed for 5W-30? That can short you out 1-2 percent in MPGs; 5W-30 in an engine built for 5W-20 can decrease overall gas efficiency by 1-1.5 percent.
2. Don't idle (keep moving).
Blogger Fleet Owner cites the DOE's recommendation to reduce your car's idling time, which can waste up to half a gallon of gas an hour (the same can be said for the opposite — driving too fast and aggressively is a surefire way to guzzle gas).
3. Set it to overdrive.
When your vehicle is engaged in second or third gears, its overall speed and output are reduced, conserving both gas and transmission wear and tear.
4. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Don't hate on the oil companies just because you nearly spent three digits at the pump yesterday. One result of a recent DailyFinance survey suggested buying stock in said conglomerates to help even out fuel costs in the long run. One of the site's readers said they bought Chevron stock and earned enough annual dividends to equal their yearly fuel cost. "That way," they said, "the oil company pays for my gas."
Debunking the Myths Surrounding Saving on Gas
It can't be overstated that some of the trouble we take to squeeze more gas mileage out of our cars is all in vain. Some common pieces of automotive wisdom just plain don't work.
Myth: "I'm a morning person," said your gas tank.
The truth is, that unfounded piece of advice that it's best to fuel up in the a.m. versus the p.m. is just that — unfounded. This myth is perpetuated by a belief, according to Consumer Reports, that because fluids are denser at lower temperatures, you'll get more out of a gallon of cold gas in the morning — when the air temp is cooler — because cold gas contains more molecules. But the temperature as it exits the nozzle into your tank is negligible and makes little difference in your MPGs.
Myth: Go high-test for high performance.
It's sad, but true. Pumping premium fuel into your Honda Civic won't, contrary to rumor, give you Ferrari performance or enhanced gas life. In fact, it could even damage your engine.
But the opposite is often a valid, if weak choice — if needed, a car requiring premium gas can run on regular fuel. Sensors built into your car will detect the change in fuel, and economy may improve slightly, if that.
Myth: Jacking your car.
They're marketed like steroids for your car. You've seen the commercials, read the claims and heard the "proof" that special gas tank pour-ins and additives will work wonders for your car's fuel efficiency. What may result is a car imbued with a terrible case of inner road rage, and no improvements in fuel economy to speak of.
Business Fleet performed a study with one such fuel-line catalyst on a Ford Crown Victoria and determined that the increase in MPGs from 18.49-18.52 was hardly enough to qualify as saving money on gas (http://www.gobankingrates.com/
Keep It Practical
Sometimes the best advice is the most obvious and overstated. Most automotive and consumer sources suggest that the best ways to conserve our car's appetite for gasoline is to drive during off-peak hours (when stop-and-go traffic is at a minimum); keep steady speeds and use cruise control; take out unnecessary cargo and "junk from the trunk" to reduce your car's weight and drag; and keep your tires inflated, but not over-inflated.
There's not much we can do to combat escalating gas prices. Keeping some key pieces of wisdom in mind, and avoiding the myths, can help us cope with higher gas prices, like experts navigators on a stormy road.

As soon as we got to the front door, Bob ran. He ran to his truck, quickly got out his keys and drove off. I was left standing on the front step, alone and worried.
I forgot about Bob for the few moments that followed as I looked for Raphael.
"Raphael! Raphy! Here, boy!" I called again and again as I walked around the block.
I saw Mrs Macleod walking towards me. Oh fuck, I thought. She always had something to say, and once she started she couldn't stop. I turned around quickly and walked.
"Lee! Oh, Lee! How wonderful to see you, dear!" She'd seen me. I spun around slowly to see the old woman.
"Mrs Macleod. Hello." I said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, she didn't even have to reach up that far, I'm short.
"What're you doing outside? You know, it's very cold. You should be inside by a fire! You don't want your cute little self to get ill! Do you? No, I didn't think so..." I zoned out, wondering where my Rottweiler could be.
"Yeah, yeah, great. Mrs Macleod, have you seen Raphael?" I asked her quickly as she was taking a breath.
"I should say not. Why? Have you lost him, you silly little boy?" She was odd at times. She always seemed to be almost hitting on every guy that she saw, but at her age, there was no chance.
"Yeah. I'm really worried." I tried not to say anything that could cause a lecture. "He got out this morning."
"You boys these days." She shook her head. "Would you like a cup of tea at my house? It won't take a minute." I shook my head vigorously.
"I'll pass, thanks."
"Well, I'd better get going. I've got Toby to feed." At the end of every converstion, Mrs Macleod always seemed to have something to say about her beloved tabby cat.
I waved to her as she walked past me. Phew, thank God that didn't last longer than that.
"RAPHAEL!" I screamed. I hadn't been searching long but every second made me more anxious. He had only just turned 2. He was at that naughty age, where anything and everything is fun for a dog.
I heard a yelp as I came round a corner, some 21 blocks away from my house. I jogged along the pavement, looking side to side.
"Raphy!" I ran to him down the small alleyway he was at the end of. He looked scared, as scared as a dog could look. He jerked his head backwards in distress.
"It's me, boy. What's up?" I leant down to his level. The belt I had leant Bob from this morning was attached to Raphael and a railing. I tried to undo the knot that someone had tied to his red collar, it was stuck fast though.
Raphael didn't notice me trying to help him though, he was looking at something behind me. I was about to turn around, but I never had a chance to, as something struck the back of my head hard and I went down.
